I've found that processed foods claiming to be low in fat have compensated by increasing the amount of sugar, usually in the form of fructose. Read food labels carefully. Low fat does not mean low calorie.

Saturated fat raises cholesterol and increases your risk of heart disease.
In any case, I switched over from a diet that was typically around 60%c, 20%f, 20%p during college to a 60%f, 20%c, 20%p now. The end result has been that my weight has stayed the same, but body comp has changed drastically toward muscle rather than fat, and I'm not hungry all the time any more. I can also focus a lot better and I do well on less sleep (not that I mind the extra hours when I can get them). It might help to take a couple months and experiment with different ratios on yourself. Take around 2 weeks to adjust and gauge your results before moving on. Hopefully you'll find what suits you. Good luck! -Nik |
