Many consumers are aware of the concerns of having too much fat in their diets. Limiting fat intake is an important step in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Adopting a low fat eating lifestyle doesn't mean that sweets and treats need to be eliminated from your diet. HERSHEY'S provides its consumers with a wide range of low fat and fat free products that, when eaten in moderation, do not contribute to excess calories. JOLLY RANCHER hard candy and TWIZZLERS candy are available in an array of flavors and styles that appeal to every taste. If it is chocolate that you crave, YORK peppermint patties are a refreshing low-fat option. Also, there are not many who could resist HERSHEY'S fat free chocolate syrup drizzled over a scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt.
Remember that eating low-fat or fat-free foods is not the only key to losing or maintaining a healthy weight. While excess fat intake can lead to weight gain, so can excess calories. Keep in mind that low-fat and fat-free foods are not necessarily low in calories. Consumers should read the nutrition information printed on the label to learn about the foods that they are eating. In addition to listing the amount of fat per serving, the nutrition facts panel also will list the number of calories in a serving. Understanding how to balance a variety of food, including low fat and fat free snacks, will lead to a more enjoyable eating experience and is what leads to "Making Mouths Happy".
