Food Claim Terminology, Diet 4U Online
------------------------------------------------------------
With the new labeling law, terms that were once used inconsistently
(and too often misleadingly) must now be used uniformly to assure
that such terms mean the same on each product on which they appear.
The following are definitions of the most frequently used terms:
Calorie Free means that there are fewer than 5 calories per serving.
Sugar Free indicates that there are fewer than 0.5 grams of sugar per
serving.
Fat Free indicates that there are fewer than 0.5 grams of total fat per
serving.
Low Fat - The food contains 3 grams of total fat or less per serving.
Low Saturated Fat - The food contains 1 gram or less per serving.
Low Sodium - The food contains less than 140 mgs of sodium per serving.
Very Low Sodium - The food contains less than 35 mgs per serving.
Low Cholesterol - The food contains less than 20 mgs of cholesterol per
serving.
Low Calorie - The food item contains 40 calories or less per serving.
Lean - Contains fewer than 10 grams of fat, less than 4 grams of saturated
fat, and less than 95 mgs of cholesterol per serving and per 100 grams of meat,
poultry, seafood or game meat.
Extra Lean - Contains fewer than 5 grams of fat, less than 2 grams of
saturated fat, and less than 95 mgs of cholesterol per serving and per 100 grams
of
meat, poultry, seafood or game meat.
High - One serving of the food contains 20% or more of the Daily Value for
a particular nutrient.
Good Source - One serving of the food contains 10% to 19% of the Daily
Value for a particular nutrient.
Reduced - A nutritionally altered product contains 25% less of a nutrient or
of calories than the regular, or "reference" product.
Less - A food, whether altered or not, contains 25% less of a nutrient or of
calories than the reference food.
Light - A nutritionally altered product that contains one-third fewer
calories
or half of the fat of the reference food, or the sodium content of a
low-calorie,
low-fat food has been reduced by 50%.
More - One serving of the food, altered or not, contains a nutrient in a
quantity that is at least 10% of the Daily Value more than the reference
food.
*-----------------HOT TIP------------------*
Pour
yourself eight glasses of water
(or whatever you
personally require)
and set them
nearby. As you drink them,
set the empty
glasses aside. Let them serve
as a constant
reminder to drink your fluids.

From our Readers:
------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Diet 4U
I am writing to say how pleased I am with the protein
diet I started just over a week ago. I wasn't sure how
it would be to be honest with you and the menus seemed
very complicated at first glance, but once you get use to the
system it is actually quite easy. I had a stone I wanted to
loose and cannot believe the difference already. The weight
is coming down on the scales, but more dramatically the
inches I seem to be losing is wonderful. Haven't felt
this good about myself in a long time.
Thank you
Donna
Edinburgh, Scotland
Testimonial:
I have been following the diet4uonline program for
approximately 11 weeks and I have lost 25 pounds.
Although my goal is to lose another 10 pounds, I
already feel fantastic. This is a plan I feel I can live
with forever.
The longer I'm on it, the easier it gets. At this point
I find it very easy to make substitutions when necessary.
It's very easy to eat out and stay on the plan.
Thank you so much for all of your help.
Andrea
MA
