I refuse to eat fat free or low fat mayonaise, any type of cheese, ice cream and salad dressing. Those are my cheat foods. I still measure out quantity, grams, calories, etc. But I just can't deny myself those foods.

Isnt mayo like...by definition pretty fatty lol. Kind of makes me cringe to imagine a no fat mayo lol. Im all for low cal sweetners but anything meant to be high fat being a no fat pretender is off my plate....seems unnatural. I dont mind low fat things, Like sour cream off the top of my head tastes just fine lower fat. But thats not generally super fatty to begin with is it? I dont know im tired and ranty. lower fat= cool ....lower fat equalling a bunch of chemical additives to make up for tastes and still not tasting right= no thanks.7

Some nonfat foods taste absolutely horrible. Light sour cream is okay.2
-
I refuse to use low fat margarine. It does not melt in to toast; it soggifies toast.9
-
I would say that most foods I eat are not low-fat. I do use the olive oil mayonnaise cause I really like it and it happens to be lower fat. I also eat a non-fat Greek yogurt. I actually have a better disposition when I consume a decent amount of fat.0

Turkey pepperoni. Bought it once, never again. Cardboard has more flavor.6

I love fat. It's just so rich and wonderful, in all its forms. Unfortunate because it's dense with calories and I need a carb heavy diet. But I just enjoy fat so much.3
-
Full fat cottage cheese always....mainly because there is no such thing as good tasting 0% cottage cheese. I can not say the same about greek yogurt though (plenty of good zero fat greek yogurts, even plain flavored!)
Zero fat cheese =/= real food...doesn't even know how to melt correctly (it's a chemical abomination & a poor excuse for "food")6 -
I am fine with reduced fat mayo, milk, yoghurt, ice cream, salad dressing.
The only thing I really wont change is cheese - I have a type of cheese I love (colby) and I just count the calories and eat the one I prefer.
Actually my favourite yoghurt is not low fat either - but I will eat low fat ones too.5 -
Ice cream and cheese. I would rather eat real full fat, 360 calories per measly 1/2 cup ice cream every 3 months than reduced fat ice cream every night. That is why i rarely eat it. The good stuff doesn't fit in my calorie budget most of the time. And when I do eat it, I must have one cup. That is 700+ calories.
I will drink low-fat milk and eat low fat yogurt though.1 -
Mayo, cottage cheese. Skimmed milk is just white water, but semi skimmed is ok. Live full fat but don't have the calories to waste on it usually.6

Cheese, mayo.0

Cheese and milk.0

Yoghurt, cheese and milk. I remember comparing low-fat yoghurt with full fat and was horrified to see the sugar content in the low-fat. Never again!
Skim milk is water and cheese....don't you touch my full fat of awesomeness cheese!
I do prefer low-fat fresh ricotta - tastes better and much nicer to cook witj...but that's the only exception I have to full fat cheese4 -

High five to another colby-loving cheese fan! We rock!0 -
Low fat cottage cheese, skim milk, fake ( anything other than full fat/full taste) Monterey Jack cheese. There are others, but those pretty much top my list.0

I don't mind low fat of any product. Depends on my calorie goals for the day. Tastes fine to me usually9

I don't generally buy lowfat/reduced fat, besides yogurt and sometimes reduced fat kettle chips(usually it's an error because packaging can look identical). For yogurt, it can only be Stonyfield Organic Strawberry.... I can be very picky.
I just weigh out my portions of everything, so my focus is on what fits, and having higher fat doesn't bother me, so I don't tend to try many lowfat things(lowfat is not lowcal, unfortunately).
Lowfat mayo does sound unreal 🤢0 -
I try to avoid anything marked reduced fat. Not because of taste but because of quality. I'd rather eat less volume and have whole 100% food.9
-
I no longer eat reduced fat Bread and cheese.....life's too short to eat cardboard and rubber5

Interestingly I think I see far few low fat, and almost no zero fat, products here in Sweden than I would in either UK or US supermarkets. Despite people here generally being very health/weight conscious.
I just did completely unscientific search and a supermarket chain here had 17 "Mayo" products of which on one was light (others included vegan, organic, egg free ect.). A quick look on Tesco in the UK had 45 Mayo products of which 17 were light. It may just reflect less choice in a smaller country.
You do get a range of low fat dairy here but the only low fat cheese I've seen is either Cream Cheese or Cottage Cheese.
Personally I usually go for lower fat dairy. My morning natural yogurt is 0.5% fat and comes in at 40 kcals per 100ml. Greek natural yogurt is 6% and is 85 Kcals per 100ml so I can have twice as much of the low fat one.
The greek tastes creamier for sure but I usually eat it with a scoop of whey, frozen berries and, depending on my macros that week, some oats. That means I can't taste the difference with that lot in it.
I usually don't mind things were they've just taken out some fat. Like skimmed milk or low fat cottage cheese.
