Fat-free vs. Low-calorie: Which Way Is Best?

Fat in your diet also has an important effect on your energy level when you're trying to lose weight. The complex structure of fat molecules that make them such a dense source of energy, also makes them harder to digest.

The longer your body takes to digest its food, the longer it has to use that food energy before it is stored as body fat. So, fat is a long lasting energy source. Dietary fat does something else for you too. It helps you feel full longer, so you won't be tempted to snack as much.
Of course, when you need to cut excess fat from your diet, fat free products can be a good alternative to high fat snacks. The key to using fat free products smartly is to remember that for weight loss, ultimately, it's the calorie count that makes the difference.
