Do you have to eat low-fat food to lose weight?
Low-fat food is not equal to low calorie.

Low fat: the fat content per 100g food is ≤3g, and low calorie: the calorie per 100g food is ≤40kcal.

For example, yogurt is low in fat, but the calorie of sugar is equal to the calorie of five and a half cubes of sugar.

Are low-fat foods necessarily healthy? Is fat-free food healthy? I don't know.

Some low-fat, skim foods have higher sugar content than ordinary foods. When the daily intake of added sugar exceeds 10% of total calories, the risk of obesity and cardiovascular disease will increase.

What are the common low-fat and high-sugar foods?

Refined low-fat cereals: Pay attention to the ingredient list of cereals. If sugar is listed in the front position, it means that the sugar content is high. For example, try to choose sugar-free oatmeal.

Zero-fat drinks: Many sugar substitute drinks and skim coffee will have the problem of excessive sugar. Boiled water is the best zero-calorie drink during weight loss, which not only won't get fat, but also can strengthen metabolism.

Low-fat yogurt: Many "low-fat" yogurts on the market have much higher fat content, although their fat content is low. It is recommended to pay attention to the sugar content when buying. Try to choose sugar-free yogurt, and then add fresh fruit to taste.

Low-fat biscuits: Most low-fat biscuits only reduce the fat content, but sugar and leavening agent will be added to keep the taste. If you eat too much, you will get fat.
