In my opinion, cutting out fat will not lead to weight loss. Cutting out carbs will.

Fiddling with natural foods is also a bad idea - just as a general practice.

i avoid (almost) anything that is not natural.

my thinking is that our bodies have developed the diet it works best on for many, many years. a "reduced fat" something or "lite" something smacks of danger to me.

so i use real butter, full fat cheese and ice cream, free range eggs etc.

the only non-natural thing i eat is "no added sugar chocolate". But then again, how "natural" is chocolate as a food anyway?
