   Weight loss through eating less fat - but do it wisely

We've known for some time that limiting high
fat<http://www.thedietchannel.com/AskTheExpert/cholesterol-diet/Saturated-unsaturated-trans-fat-what-is-the-difference.htm>foods
in the diet can be helpful with weight loss. That's because fats pack
in 9 calories per gram compared to only 4 calories per gram from
proteins<http://www.thedietchannel.com/Protein-and-Your-Body.htm>or
carbohydrates<http://www.thedietchannel.com/Good-Carbs-Vs-Bad-Carbs-How-To-Pick-The-Best-Carbs-For-Your-Diet.htm>.
To many, the message to limit fats implied an endorsement to eat unlimited
amounts of fat-free products. Just to clarify, fat-free foods have calories
too. In some cases fat-free foods have as many calories as their fat laden
counterparts. If you eat more calories than your body uses, you will gain
weight. Eating less fat will help you to lose weight. Eating less fat and
replacing it with excessive amounts of fat-free products will not.

trying to lose weight, see the following article from TheDietChannel:  Healthy
