Most of the manufactured foods found in biscuits, food bars, cookies contain the same hydrogenated oils and 0%trans fats. Wonder why manufacturers are still not responsive to consumers' needs?

Judging by my inbox, the results are quite good.

If you have a difference in numbers, the left over amount is actually the amount of trans fat. as i recall, the article read that no, they do not legally have to list the true amount under "trans fat", but they DO have to list it under "total fat". how true that is, im not positive. i just wanted to share what i recall. i read an article on this awhile ago in a fitness magazine.. and i read everything youve just said. but along with that, it also said that the way to catch it is to look at the total fat. add up all of the fats listed, and compare that to what it says under “total fat”.

You mention having strong will-power for yourself, so I'm wondering how others are getting on. Regards, Dr Martin Russell Hi there (couldn’t find a name),

Can I ask what sort of results people are having with this? You mention having strong will-power for yourself, so I’m wondering how others are getting on.

Many years back I recall seeing a spray on olive oil product (olive oil is 100% fat) indicate that it was "fat free" on account of the fact there was less than 0.5 grams fat per serving. Amazing.

I'm gonna have to start staying away from anything in a package, the more I find out about mass produced food, the more I don't want it. Wow, that is crazy, I haven’t heard anything about that.

Simply trying cut out white/enriched flour, HCFS and hydrogenated oils significantly eliminates options at the store. At least we're not starving, but we're on the other end of the food related death spectrum. BTW, thanks for the good info, especially your calorie estimator in Phase 1.
