| | 7 / 14 Myth 6: Low fat foods are always best for weight loss
Fact:
Just because the product boasts a "low fat" label doesn't mean it's diet-friendly. Low fat foods often contain hidden calories in the form of sugar or starch thickeners (often to make them more palatable), warns Mason. So while they may be lower in fat than their full-fat counterparts, they won't necessarily contain fewer calories. As well as sugar, keep an eye on the salt content.
