Quote El Barbudo="El Barbudo"Spot on.
However, most people have a weakness and the "eat what you like and still lose weight" idea catches tens of thousands every time someone comes up with a new "diet".'"
To add to that, 'low fat' alternatives of regular foods are a massive rip off. Nine times out of ten, they replace the fat that they've stripped away with sugar or artificial additives. How is that better?
Quote El Barbudo="El Barbudo"But Mintball has a point too, which I think is that diet should not be faddy ... a balanced diet including some appetite-sating saturated fat is preferable to "Only carbs and protein".'"
I wouldn't argue with that. In fact, I didn't! Fats are extremely important for things like nervous system function, vitamin absorption etc, as well as helping you to feel full.
