Diet Mistakes #4

#4 Loading Up on Low-Fat

Low-fat products can play an important role in your diet. Just remember that low-fat isn’t the same as low-calorie and it’s not a license to take second and third helpings. If you pile your plate with low-fat cake, you may end up eating more calories than if you had a smaller slice of regular cake. The best way to know how much fat, sugar, and calories you’re getting is to check the nutritional label.

I haven't had a huge problem with this one. My problem is more getting fats into my diet. I am very hung up on the low fat stuff and I know that it is important to get some (good) fats in your diet.
