Fat Calories and Weight Loss

Dear Editor,

My friend said to reduce fat calories if I wanted to lose weight. I know that too much fat in your diet is not good but will cutting the fat in my diet really help me lose weight. I get really confuse because I hear that carbs are the way to go. Others tell me to cut fat. So what is it? Do I cut fat or increase protein or go on a low card diet?

Dear Reader,

The answer to your question is Yes. You can lose weight on a low fat diet or a low carb diet. Many people have great success on a high protein diet. The real answer is sticking to a diet that you can maintain. We recommend a low fat diet for many reasons. A diet low in fat will reduce your risk of cancer and other diseases.

We live in a high fat society and it's easy to consume too many calories. Find the diet that's best for you. Most diets will work if you stick with it. Try to reduce fat as much as possible. Some low carb diets emphasize too much fat which is unhealthy. You may lose weight but your cholesterol count will shoot through the roof at the same time. Aim to reduce fat from your diet when possible and pick the diet that best fits your lifestyle and taste.
