What is actually better to consume for weight loss? Can't find any reliable sources on this debate. Operative word, "reliable". What's your take?

i stay away from both. You need fat in your diet and I don't like fake sugars so if I indulge I eat the real deal.0

Avoid anything 'fat free' - the sugar content is always huge (check out all those 'fat free' yogurts and compare). 'Sugar-free' is a marketing ploy - if something 'needs' sugar, then it needs it - if it's sugar-free as advertised, then it's been substituted with something else. Stop looking at the marketing rubbish and look at the label. It takes two seconds to check the ingredients - if the word 'sugar' is within the first five ingredients don't buy it! It really IS that easy. Hope that helps - 'branding' has so much to answer for and makes everything so confusing. Another tip ... if you can't pronounce and ingredient, then you shouldn't be eating it (that one helped me a lot)!0

Reminds of another piece of advice - avoid any product with more than five ingredients.0
