In today’s world, there are countless products vying for our attention on supermarket shelves, and it can be very daunting trying to wrap our minds around all the nutritional labels. Many people are trying to make more conscious decisions about what they put in their body, and how their consumption impacts the environment, but are struggling with the fine print. So how can we best navigate this?

On this episode of On the House Podcast, host Marie is joined by Dr. Rebecca Luong, cardio-metabolic dietitian and co-founder of Heartful Flavours. Having worked in various areas of dietetics including clinical dietetics, community health, nutrition research, supermarket nutrition, and academia, Dr. Rebecca Luong has a strong understanding of how the worlds of nutrition and food coalesce, providing practical and personalized nutrition solutions.

Marie and Dr. Rebecca Luong discuss the health star rating criteria used in Australia, and what people should look out for on labels, as well as how to compare two similar products.

Dr. Rebecca Luong shares the importance of low GI options and why these make an important impact on wellbeing, as well as how the order of ingredients in the ingredients list might play a part in one’s decision making.
