This is one I also have problems with. When I was actively dieting, my kitchen was filled with fat free dairy, salad dressing, cheese and low calorie items chocked full of chemicals. I believed that all the chemicals were less dangerous than being fat - but eating them wasn't making me any thinner! Full fat cheese was one of the things I legalized right away. I like the 2% cheese when cooking, but for eating out of hand I like the real deal. I also brought back butter, preflavored low fat yogurts because my diet of choice only allowed plain FF yogurt that you added your own chemicals to, cereal and good chewy whole grain bread. What a joy it was to eat a piece of bread that wasn't 50% air!:-)> >> > I have been reading a book called The Mood Cure that's theory is > that > > most of the Nations bad moods and need for anti depression medicine > > is related to the low/no fat obession most people have these days. > > Here are two articles about it> > > > http://www.preventi onisbest. com/site/ saturatedfat. html> > > > http://tierneylab. blogs.nytimes. com/2008/ 07/21/good- news-on-> saturated-> > fat/> > > > Even after reading and wanting to believe these articles my "fat > > police" still are after me about all the fat I'm eating.
