Do you usually read the labels of the items you buy in the store?

normally if i buy a product that i kow or i buy usually not but if i want buy a product that is almost unknown for em till that moment i will read the labels and check if it is for meor not...in some cases i see if there are certifications or something like guarantee the product as well..

When I first started losing weight, I did pay attention to the calories on the back. Now that I am a few months into my journey, I have an idea of how many calories are in each product, so I do not need to look as much. I also pay attention to carbohydrates once in awhile. I mainly eat the same things, so I generally have memorized how many calories are in each product. I eat 1500 calories per day.

That's my weakness too. I don't want to spend time reading everything that was written on the label but just this few weeks when we are attending health seminar, I've learned that reading labels for the items we will buy is very important. Well, just today when I go to the dollar store, I read the labels of how many calories, trans fats, and fats, etc.. for that food I am buying. It is really worth to do that.

I always try to read the labels when i am in the store. i like to know everything I can about what i am buying. Nutrition and health is so important to our lives.

Sometime i do, that's if i don't know the product yet. But if im already using it for a long time, then there's no time to waste by reading it. I directly go to the counter and pay. It pays to read the labels for you may not know some contents of the product may not be good to you or may not be healthy for your other family members.

No I don't. I'm just too busy to do it. We do our groceries once a week. What I'm conscious of is the price. If I do get value for my money. And I always check the expiration date. That's just it.

I often ignore the labels of the items that I am going to buy. Usually I will pay attention the brand, packing and price. I don't care about other information. I love china

If it is a brand new product that I have not tried before then I do read the label. I dont care how many calories things are but I like to look at the ingredients and see whats in it. If it is a product that I am going to take to something where I know a kid has an allergy to a certain ingredient then I have to check the ingredient list first. Like today I took cupcakes to a story hour halloween party at the library and the one little boy is allergic to peanuts so I had to make sure they didnt have peanuts in them. They were safe for him to eat luckily. It can be hard to find things that are totally peanut free.

yeah i do read the labels.

Like you, i usually don't. Whoops. Haha. For the main reason that i am always in a rush and also maybe due to the fact that i already know about what i am buying most of the times, but i do take the effort to skim through the label of a product that i am trying for the first time. I think that is necessary because you haven't tried the product before, so i think it's normal to want to know what are the contents. :)

Yes i do read labels of new foods that i bought. When i want to try new products i really read labels. But with my usual grocery items,not at all. Have a good day

From time to time I will try out new products, then I will check the contents and compare it with the product that I usually buy to make sure that they are relatively the same or that the new product is better. I don't check my usually product, except if I have received some negative info on that product. Otherwise, I only check for prize and expiration dates on short life products, such as milk and yoghurt.

i do read the products label if it is my first time to buy that product.going to compare to other products if which one is better for my health and wallet.

It depends on your situation, some time we read and some time we just ignore. One thing is the product we normally use, we dont read any thing about it, just take it but the new things which we want to buy, we should be aware of it. I know it is just time consuming and you may think it is wastage of time, but if you have had (may be never) obesity or any other food related problem then you ll read every thing. Thats why I said it depends on your situation, if you are young and energetic then you can think like that which you have written, so situation matters...

usually always read the product expiration date, especially food products and milk for my son who was a baby

i sometimes do. that's what keeps me in a grocery, reading stuff.. not really because im health conscious. sometimes, i see stuff i'm not familiar or never tried so i read the box before putting it in my basket.

I don't spend time also reading the labels of the item that I am buying, it's time consuming, I just look for the price and the due date of the item before buying.

I am the type of person who spends time reading the labels of items I am buying because it allows me to gain a basic idea of how many calories does it provide per serving as well as the nutritional content of the product. This helps me become more aware of what foods to avoid so that I can avoid potential health problems like heart attacks, high blood, diabetes and obesity. It really pays to read the label of items that you are buying since you as the buyer have the option to buy a product that can be detrimental to your health or to buy a product that can provide benefits to your health. Reading labels also trains you to be aware of certain ingredients found in those items or products that can cause health problems like cancer and that it also helps us make wise choices with regards to what we eat.

Before, I didn't pay attention to read the back labels of different products. When I became more conscious with my figure, I tried to search for ways to lose weight safely. One suggestion I've read was to count my calorie intake and make sure I just consume the right amount of calories I need for a day, it can be computed depending on your weight and height or bmr (basal metabolic rate)if I remembered it correctly. That was when I started reading the nutritional labels of different food items. It already became a habit even though I'm satisfied with my weight now. Soon enough, I also started to notice other details aside from the calories like sodium content which can affect our blood pressure if highly consumed, saturated fats which can also raise our cholesterol level, etc. Our health is greatly affected by the food we eat and we may not even notice that what we are eating most of the time can cause serious medical condition in the end. I think it's really worth it to read the back labels of products before we even buy them. At least we are aware of what we feed our body with and do something about it. It's kind of a good investment to our health. =)
