Low-fat foods are not free foods
Don't you love finding low-fat versions of your favorite foods? I do. Especially those that aren't also taste-free. Visions of low-fat Wheat Thins are swimming through my head right now -- I've been known to demolish a whole box of these treats.
I remember during my sweet-tooth days enjoying an occasional package of fat-free Twizzlers. Fat-free. Smart choice, right? Nope.
No matter how low-fat the food, calories still matter most. Eating low-calorie foods such as veggies means you can eat larger amounts. But starchy foods, like rice, bread, and yes, Wheat Thins, are higher in calories. Which makes them bad for weight loss and management. Which is why I've banned low-fat crackers from my pantry.
