One of the things I love about this board is that there's no specific diet we're all following- (not that there's anything

Well, from memory (I'm at
Hmmm, I generally am pretty good about finding low-fat, low cal alternatives:
Things I don't compromise on:
Because my son Nic (11) is a little heavy around the middle, we've been keeping some low-fat low-calorie foods in the house. We've got some rice cakes, low fat yogurts, Mr. Christie "thin" cookies (love the oreo ones...if you haven't tried them, do so. You will love them!), and he occasionally drinks coke zero or other non caffinated drinks.
I don't eat anything low-fat unless I have to, but that's because I'm trying to gain weight...LOL

Things I won't compromise on:
Wheat bread and pasta
1% milk
Olive Oil and canola cooking sprays
No calorie margarine (Can't believe it's not butter)
Personally, I never drink my calories. Smoothies don't count because that's my meal
Bottled purified water
You'll always find:
Lean Cuisine
Diet Mt. Dew
Diet Pepsi Jazz Carmel Cream

Do you always buy certain low fat/salt/calorie, etc....items? Which ones?
Plus which foods will you not compromise on? (ie. butter)

**Indeedy you will. In my pantry I have a canister of Slim-fast powder. I sometimes use it when I need something quick and easy for breakfast. Most everything I buy now is low fat/low calorie. All three of us are getting a bit think in the middle, so I do what Ican to lighten things up when I cook.

**2% milk for the family, soy milk for me. Whey protein powder and Clif Bars for me. Whole wheat spaghetti noodles. There's a bunch in there.

**Actually, I get light butter since I mainly use olive oil when I cook. I won't skimp on spaghetti sauce. And I'm sure there is something else, but I can't think of anything right off the bat. Oh I know. Every once in a blue moon I get a craving for peanut butter Cap'n Crunch and M&M trail mix. :)
HI all..just stopping in here to answer this one.
I skimp on very little ~ I only buy 2% milk, but rarely drink any of it anyway. I am starting to experiment with lower fat cheese, but most everything I buy is not reduced fat or anything ~ just trying to watch the portions of it..
But one thing I actually won't buy the regular version of is Pop Tarts. I don't buy them very often at all ~ but if that's something you gotta get into your house...the Low Fat version is actually SO much better.
It is what it is.Know that to be true.
