Fat-Free foods are making you fat!

[Devaughn Debelak]

When you extract fat out of a food, it becomes bland. Tasteless.

How do you add taste to something? You put sugar in it. People back in the 80's were grabbing up fat-free foods left and right just trying to become healthier. Obesity has been on the rise since the day they started doing it.

Nobody was able to see the real killer, sugar, because of misleading information that was fed out into the public. Make no mistake, this was on purpose. Not only does it make products easier to sell when there chalk full of sugar, it creates a nation of people easier to control, because their brains are becoming exhausted from the amount of sugar being processed through their bloodstream.

I hope this helps for someone who thought fat-free foods were a better option then their normal counterparts.

sugar is not the killer. Eating too many calories is.

There are two real problems with fat-free foods. Many of those foods replace those calories with chemicals and your body needs fat.

I can never take anything away from calories, they are the only thing that's making you fat. The problem is, all of these foods are now chalk full of sugar, produce TONS of empty calories. It induces a lot of strain on your liver, making it complicated for an overall healthy digestive track. Sugar also slows down your neurological scepters in your brain. This in turn makes you makes you crave the foods that full of sugar and loaded on calories.

Sugar is hands down, the problem.

Look on the back of an Oreo box
3 Oreos = 160 calories
14 grams of sugar

Males are only supposed to get 25 grams of sugar per day.
Females 22, depending on your body weight.

And come on now, who only eats 3 cookies every single time you open a box of Oreos?

Hi,

i do believe using fat free foods and drinks do not help us losing weight or maintaining a healthy life..... For a healthy life and weight lose , its necessary to supply fuels that your body require, it needs consumption of fat and sugar both but to a certain limit. For that you need to count calories and start working out rather than just focusing on these fat free foods, in the end i would like to say,

Eat natural and keep moving for a healthy life

I think that fat-free products can be very useful in building a food plan that you can live with.

They certainly helped me when I lost 168 pounds. I have certainly gained some weight since I because less strict with buying them.

As AllCdnBoy said - calories is the thing that you need to worry about.

I could not agree with you more. If you really want to learn more try "Why We Get Fat and What You can Do About It" and "The Case Against Sugar". Both books are written by Gary Taubes and changed my life a few months ago. I now eat as much as I want of the correct foods (meats, veggies grown above ground, eggs, cheese & fruit) and have lost 41 pounds. The great thing is that I am never starving and all of my health numbers are as good as they have been since I was a teenager - I'm a 44 year old male.

I agree fat free foods are a bane because of the added sugar, however whatever your opinion on them calories count, it does not matter how good your diet is, if you eat too much you will gain weight, and depending on exercise that may be fat or muscle.
