becareful of alot of fat free food. some of them have alot of sugar in them.

what jzeller said is true, they have lots of sugar and lots of sodium too.  you also need fiber, so fruits and veggies are a must.

Exactly....just because it is low in fat doesn't mean it is low in calories....just for fun I looked at tomato soup.  There was 98% fat free tomato soup and I looked at the regular tomato soup and there were less calories!!!!  In order to make it taste better once t hey take out the fat, they have to add sugar.  The low fat cheese and other dairy products it definitely makes a difference when they are low fat.  You just have to look at the nutritional facts to see if it really helps or not.  It makes shopping take a little longer, but sometimes you'll be surprised.
