| Diet foods – the super puppy | ||
|
Last week's discussion was about why we have diet foods where I proposed that we have been sold a puppy, but in ending, I left you with the open ending "the super puppy". You probably thought, what's Mike on about? And raced off to the fridge to find a snack.
The story starts many many moons ago, enter Mike with, lets say carrying a few extra kilos and virtually no food knowledge. So what did I do? I started eating reduced fat foods. What was the result? Two things happened;
So why did this happen? I'm eating foods that claim to help you but the opposite happened. Well the answer is that the foods I was eating simply replaced the reduced fat with increases of sugar, there was no difference in calories and the food was less satisfying. Less satisfaction meant greater consumption. I had been sold the Super Puppy, products that claimed to be good for me, but were actually worse.
Super Puppy #1
Bottom line, simply don't buy products like this.
But this isn't the only Super Puppy, there's 3 more;
Super Puppy#2
This puppy is largely sugar. Next time you are at the supermarket, pick up your favourite cereal and compare the sugar content with weetbix. Is that favourite cereal the right choice, or should you migrate to, for example a better muesli or weetbix
Super Puppy#3 · Concentrated version of a good product · A high sugar content · May contain higher levels of substances that are harmful in extreme situations but not an issue in the source product This is products such as fruit juice and dried fruit. Fruit juice is seen as healthy but in reality it's only marginally better than soft drinks. Dried fruit concentrates sugar. In both, most of the vitamins of the original product have been lost.
Super Puppy#4
This is where an ordinary product has been enhanced by adding protein powder, such as high protein cereal. Why is this a puppy, because instead of mixing into the product ingredients that naturally have the required protein, the cheaper ingredients have been mixed with protein powder, keeping the manufacturing price down why still providing the manufacturer justification for the high price charged. If you want this product, all you need to do is buy the base product, for example muesli and mix protein powder into it

Road Racing Eddie Sales Cup on Easton Creek raceway. The motorcycle fans will be amused that my race number was 46. The highlight of the race was escaping crashing on the last corner of the last lap. A rider crashed in front of me and I went around but on the other side riders crossed paths and I ended up colliding with another rider, we lent on each other really hard, because if we hadn't our bikes would of mixed and we would of both gone down. We stayed up and I rolled to the finish.
Stats: Distance 55k, 14 laps, average speed 40.5kph.
