Hold your horses... there is nothing "good for you" about this.

The first four ingredients of the Cool Whip Free are: Water, Corn Syrup (read: sugar), Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (read: trans fats), High Fructose Corn Syrup (read: sugar again).

Graham Crackers are NOT good for you. Refined cereal grains (anything flour based) are unnecessary in your diet. Replace them with a crust made of nuts and you're better off. Yes, nuts are higher in fat, but your body requires fat for functioning. It does NOT require grains.

This is loaded with sugar. A huge "diet" saboteur. If you're trying to get lean, lose the sugar from your diet. Nosh on dark chocolate (lower in sugar and fat) and some nuts. Not Cool Whip and pudding!

In the past twenty years, "low-fat" foods have become a way of life for many Americans and yet, Americans are fatter than ever. Don't eat anything labeled "low-fat", eat things without labels instead.

nearly all the "diet" foods promoted on this site are similar to what you just listed, but people still think they are losing weight. just use the real stuff, have an indulgent snack, a small amount to kill the craving and then walk away. maybe do some extra exercise to burn off the calories if they bother you that much
low-cal/low-fat doesn't equal "good for you" because of all the chemicals used to make the products 'low cal' or whatever.

THIS THREAD JUST CAN NOT DIE...I decided to change the title....

I came across this recipe and it looks amazingly good!!!

"These make a handy snack in the freezer, and you'll never know you're eating something "light" in calories and fat. I can almost make myself believe I'm eating something good for me while still enjoying my indulgence in sweets."
