Do you always choose light food, low sugar and law fat rather then normal one? I tend to buy thhis kind of products, because, even not being fat (im at the "dead line" of being under weight), i have colesterol and dont want to start taking pills. What about you, do you buy light food?

Yeah, i always but light food, and always take care of my diet, make sure it's balanced in the case of nutritions. i m a nutritionist, and had been through a very successful weight loss program...

I can tell you that doing the Atkins diet, which has lots of fat and calories that you can eat, has been scientifically proven to lower ldl and raise hdl. The small # of calories saved by eating the "diet" stuff wouldn't matter too much to someone who is not overweight. Some of the things used in diet foods, such as Olestra, can cause adverse effects like diarrhea.

nope. not all the time. though it is nice to do that, i still love to eat food with much cholesterol. i am just lucky i don't get fat. but i know it's bad for my health since i have heart problems. ischemia to be precise. and i am trying to avoid eating food which is not good for me. sometimes. i just can't help it.

I'm overweight right now (had a baby 10 months ago, but I guess that's not an excuse anymore, hahaha).. I've started eating better/exercising 3 weeks ago and I'm at a total of 8 pounds lost. I vary between low fat and all fat products. Some low fat/fat free I simply will NOT do because I don't like the taste (mayo, etc). But some products I actually will do low fat because I don't notice a difference, or like it just the same (or even better)..I really enjoy fat free pringles! I don't mind low fat sour cream, reduced fat cheese nips. I drink skim milk.. but I hate milk, period. So the more watered down, the better.. LOL! I drink it because I "should". But for the most part, I do buy more full fat stuff... and just use correct portions.
