We try to do the right thing, but we're often mislead by ambiguous marketing. The above is a typical example of a company touting "healthy" ingredients when in reality a donut is still a donut. Sure, if you break it down calorically, a glazed donut may be a better choice than others but it's still garbage.
Another case in point is "low carb" beer. Interestingly enough, beer was never super high in carbs to begin with. (Maleducated) people still think carbs make you fat. Simply not true. Enter beer company with misleading advertisement touting low carb beer with a guy doing sit-ups. Wow.
Moral of the story: excess calories, insufficient exercise, lack of sleep, and elevated stress levels lead to undesirable body fat levels- not carbs. Put down the "whole wheat donut" and pick up a pair of dumbbells.
