Some dietary fat is needed for good health as they supply energy and promote absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Other fats, however, provide very few nutrients and are considered "empty" calories - meaning their energy value far outweighs their nutritive value. These are the calories that usually end up around our waist lines. And some fats, such as saturated fats, are linked to higher blood pressure and risk of heart disease. Low Fat diets come in many forms but generally adhere to the principal of lowering both your overall consumption of fat (no more than 30% of your daily caloric intake should come from fats), and saturated fat.

 Fat is the enemy. Fat makes you fat. The creators of the Choose To Lose Diet say it is not sugar and starch that causes obesity; it is the fat in foods that packs on the pounds. You can also forget what you have heard about the dangers of overeating. It is not how much you eat, it is what you eat that is causing weight issues. The world is your buffet when you are filling your plate with low-fat meats, nonfat dairy and nutrient-dense, fiber-rich carbohydrates like fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
The school of thought behind the Choose To Lose diet is that it is not the carbs that have to go, it is the fat. In truth, if you want to lose those extra pounds, you should consume good carbs. These foods are responsible for fueling your metabolism to burn fat. Nutritious carbs also keep you feeling full so you're less likely to binge. You won't have to cut calories to shed your extra pounds; you'll just have to reduce your fat intake.
