New food labeling will be coming soon..wishing the next two years. They will be using realistic serving sizes so you can see how many calories and carbs you really are eating. I think this is a good idea. It will also show added sugars from the manufacturers. This will help the members who are trying to lose weight to help with their fibro and overall health. Here is the link about it.

It's about time! I don't think there are many people out there who actually READ the serving size on items, and follow only that serving size. Think about a bottle of juice or something: many of them have 2-3 servings in the bottle, but you run into the store to gab a quick drink, and yep, you do drink the whole bottle...

I hear you! A serving size of cereal is 3/4 of a cup...if you are lucky. LOL. I'm an avid label reader so I know exactly what I'm putting in my mouth. Many times I will be interested in a new product, turn it over and read the label, and put it back on the shelf. It's a good habit to get into.

My favorite is ice cream...they call a half a cup a serving. LOL! I eat that much licking the scoop.
