Full fat vs. low/no fat

I only eat full-fat cheese and yogurt (plain Greek, no sugar added.) (I don't drink milk but I buy whole milk for my family.) If I put anything on my bagel, it's a thin layer (very, very thin) of butter. I use olive oil in my salads. No mayo ever. No salad dressing ever. No ice cream ever (because of the sugar - I eat no sugar.) I don't eat fried foods ever - okay, maybe a bite off my husband's plate in a restaurant once a month.
What do others do about fat? Full or no/low? Fried or not?
Just curious...
Full Fat all the way!!!0 -
I never really liked milk all that much so nonfat is perfect for mebecause it has a weaker flavor. Ive pretty much gotten myself used yo low or nonfat everything. But I give myself a pass on things that are mostly good fats, to a certain extent.0

I eat mostly beans, vegetables, grains, fruits... naturally low fat. I'm still over on my fat almost everyday though. Sometimes I tend to gravitate towards potato chips and french fries. I do love a good fried potato. Note my avatar. lol
I don't like to buy anything that is labeled low-fat.
I use grapeseed oil for frying, olive oil for sauteeing or dressing, Flax oil in my oatmeal, nuts for snacks... I don't use mayo, I use veganaise and its full fat. I don't use any butter, just don't feel like I'm missing anything. I don't eat dairy, but use regular soy or hemp milk if I have cereal- which is't often.
For ice cream I LOVE the stuff made from coconut milk. It's a rare treat, but YUMM! OMG! Who knew coconuts could make such a fantastic icey treat!0 -
I go for taste. Some low fat stuff is ok (I don't mind light mayo and prefer skim milk, for example) but when I don't like the taste, I go for the full fat (cheddar cheese should never be low fat, in my opinion.) In trying for more fruits and veggies and keeping my calories in check, I have been able to routinely stay below my fat/saturated fat goals. But I do occasionally have a fried item ( french fries are a guilty pleasure.) I figure if I make them "off limits" I will be alot more tempted to have them. So far, so good.0
