I think over-limiting fat is a big, big dieting mistake. 1oz of
almonds are an excellent 200kcal snack, even though they are most
certainly not low-fat.

Nuts, of course, contain "good" fat, so should be limited rather than
banned in a healthy, low-fat diet. But while one is actively losing
weight, there may be better ways of eating that 200 kcal - or one might,
perhaps, do without it altogether?

I'm no expert, but I think removing fat is very traumatic to the body.
The body wants and actually needs fat.

It's actually as impossible to cut fat out completely as it is to cut
carbohydrates! One can, however, lower the amount one eats very easily,
and there is medical evidence to prove that saturated fats are best
avoided as much as possible.
