FWIW, I'd double check carlo's numbers to you; a number of them don't jibe at all with my memory. Diet Coke, for instance, has zero carbs; as with all diet soda's. And as a rule, you'll find that "low fat" products often have MORE carbs than regular! Go figure!

Fat is the "taste..." When the fat is removed, "taste" has to be readded to the processed food. That is done through sweetners, sugars, etc. Hence low-fat food is heavy in carbs...

Boy, are you right there - LOW FAT MEANS HIGH SUGAR in prepared foods. (read the labels, there is almost no difference in calories in any 'prepared' LOW FAT product, and it is loaded with carbs.

Now I always aim for the full fat products.
