Low-fat goodies aren't so good...

[winter]

Before Atkins, did you try the low-fat way of dieting? I did and I used to eat a lot of the low-fat frozen desserts on the market.

There was a program on food network just now that was showing how they make some of those. When they take out the fat, guess what it's replaced with? Potato starch.

It's amazing how many things that is in. It's even in packages of pre-shredded cheese to keep it from clumping. We need to buy cheese in blocks and shred it ourselves. And it's cheaper that way.

That is exactly why the Atkins WOE says you should be eating full fat versions of things like mayo, dressings, cheeses etc. They take out the fat..and add fillers.
