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.

    Some nonfat foods taste absolutely horrible. Light sour cream is okay.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 cheese

    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.

    High five to another colby-loving cheese fan! We rock!

    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.

    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 🤢

    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.

    I won't eat margarine, butter only, but even that sparinly. I like less processed foods for the most part.

    Cheese, milk, half-n-half (yes, they do make fat-free half-n-half), mayo, and butter. I just use less.

    Low fat cheeses and non fat milk- one exception being non fat milk steamed and frothed in a latte.

    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")

    Interesting, I like the reduced fat or low fat cottage cheese. Non fat, I think would be gross.

    I refuse to use low fat margarine. It does not melt in to toast; it soggifies toast.

    100% this

    It also doesn't have much taste. I can use a smaller portion of real butter and have full butter flavor for the same or less calories.

    Me too. I'm currently doing a diet experiment where I'm consuming only full fat dairy, but I really don't have a preference for full fat cottage cheese vs. 1 or 2%. I never buy 0%. I also like 0% or 1 or 2% greek yogurt just fine. (And no, there's no sugar added to plain lowfat yogurt as someone suggested upthread. That's a claim that gets made but is not true.)

    I would not buy lowfat cheese or ice cream.

    I definitely would not buy lowfat mayo, because mayo should be mayo -- I don't really like mayo, admittedly, and typically make it if I use it.

    I make my salad dressings and often make a lower fat version by using more vinegar and less oil or using vinegar + mustard (although I usually do use a little oil).

    Can't think of any other products I get that come in a lowfat version. (I will buy leaner cuts of meat.)

    I don't like non fat or low fat cheeses, with the exception of low fat cottage cheese and ricotta cheese. I use reduced fat milk and sour cream. I'm not a yogurt fan but if I do eat it it's usually a non fat Greek variety. I use butter not margarine. And reduced fat peanut butter is just wrong.

    I prefer full fat for everything, however dairy in general is ok lower fat other than cheese (I don't consider cottage cheese in that category). Lowfat cheese is an abomination. I'd rather have less of it, than low fat.

    I dislike all forms of fake sugars, even the ones created from natural forms (such as Truvia) so I'd rather do without or eat less of food items like ice cream that contain them.

    Can not tolerate low fat mayo or dressings either. Again, less of the real thing is better than.

    I don't mind most reduced fat dairy products. Not a fan of non-fat unless it's yogurt. Probably the only thing I won't touch is low fat ice cream. Not for me.
