"BAD ADVICE: Choose fat-free or sugar-free foods

BETTER ADVICE: Don't believe the hype. "They usually use fat and sodium to replace sugar, and sugar to replace fat—or chemicals to replace both," says Denis Faye, Beachbody's nutrition expert. And Rania Batayneh, MPH, a nutritionist and author of the upcoming book, The 1:1:1 Diet, adds, "Removing fat from a food makes it less satiating, so you ultimately may end up eating more." Stick with the original versions, and watch your portions or better yet, eat more unprocessed foods."

    I'd like to read more about the research into this as opinions vary but my gut feeling (pardon the pun) is that I'm with you on this one. I don't like the taste of all that stuff and as it seems to be a big money making industry it wouldn't surprise me at all if it turned out to be bad for us in other ways.
