Question About Certain Products

[Elaine19803]

I'm new here, but have been following Chef AJ, and understand this way of eating, and am ready to get back to it. However, I have a question about some products. There are some vegan salad dressings, by Walden Farms, and they are supposedly fat free, but I'm not sure this is true. Are these OK to use, or not? Also, what about stevia? I use it in my coffee and my herbal tea.

Thank you!

You might get more responses if you indicate which of Walden's dressings, in particular, you are interested in. I looked at the balsamic vinaigrette and from my novice review of the label, the only thing that might be concerning is the salt (sodium content). If you are looking for a dressing that (I believe) is very compliant, I love the 18 yr aged balsamic from this company (https://www.floridaoliveoil.com/product ... egar-12oz/). You really only need a tiny amount for a full salad, the vinegar is thick like a syrup. There isn't anything else other than vinegar in it.

The best method for evaluating a packaged product, including condiments, is by using Jeff Novick's Rules & Guidelines for Reading Labels.

I do not like snacking but like my 3 meals a day. My problem is eating dinner late because I like going to bed feeling full. Is that a bad habit?
