Note

Low Fat doesn’t mean Low Calorie. While it is good to substitute High Fat Foods with Low Fat or Non Fat Foods, you should limit the intake of Low Fat Foods to keep the calories low. eg: Low Fat Mayonnaise is still high in calories and should not be taken regularly. Portion Control is the key to healthy diet. Just because you are replacing a High Fat Food with Low Fat version, you can’t eat more of it as the calories will still add on quickly. Choosing Low Fat Foods in moderate amounts is the key to Healthy Weight and Good Diet.
