The worst offenders are skimmed milk and so-called low fat spreads. They're foul. Why not just eat a little less and still enjoy the full flavour?”

Same here. I'm in total agreement with you here. The second people start having a low fat anything they believe its now good for them, so they eat more or its diet buscuits, the more i eat the more i lose

For example, ooo i really fancy a buscuit, i'm not hungry, so no need to eat, but i'll still eat anyway, then eat multiples because its ok because its "low fat".
I until last year use to eat low fat everything, drink diet everything, i cannot belive how stupid i was!
If you want a coke, have a coke. Not a diet coke, a COKE. When i started doing this i found first off i could not drink more than 1 glass of coke, it was filling, and i felt sastisified from and it and really enjoyed it was so nice. If i wanted another drink i wanted water, because i did not want another coke, 1 was enough.
If it was diet coke, i would not feel full or satisified off it, i would just keep drinking it and drinking it, its diet no? good for me? all those chemicals, artifical sweetners, caffene, no calories....
There is no healthier alternative to fatty/sugary foods/drinks. They are treats and when treated as treats become part of a healthy lifestyle. All these low fat /sugar free versions are much worse for you as they are either processed or full of checmicals to take the place of the sugar and fat.
Its the diet foods, diets, and diet mentality that i think is keeping us overweight and unhealthy now.
