    I don't use 'diet' foods. I prefer to look at ingredoents. The shorter and simpler the list the better. I don't mind reduced fat dairy (not cheese!) but I don't eat any artificial sweeteners or fat free substitutes that I consider frankenfood. Works for me.

    I use 1% milk which is low fat when compared to whole milk :-p

    I, too, avoid lowfat/ff for just for calorie-sake. I am sensitive to salt so too much of those make me bloated, I'm better with a small amount of the real thing!

    But they do play their role for those that have a harder time with taking 1/4 a portion and can handle all the salt/additives to lose weight. They are like with everything else in this great diet game, they aren't for everyone :-)

    Fat free cheese and fat free cottage cheese are both horrible.

    However 0% Greek yogurt is awesome.

    It's sort of relative to the food item I think.

    I HATE fat-free crap. Not only that, but sometimes you can get so much more food that tastes good for the same calories and fewer carbs (certainly fewer chemicals!)
