THE idea of an ice cream that is lighter, sugar free or has low/ no fat was every dieters dream, which ice cream manufacturers didn’t take long to translate into reality. Amul's Slim Scoop, Diet Scoop, Dairy Den, Havmor's Vanilla, or Vadilal’s or Mother Diary's Dietz are some of the ice creams marketed as diet products.
DIET CHOCOLATES
FAT and sugar free chocolates are a dream come true for chocoholics on a weight loss regime. There are also fat free chocolate pudding cups, which claim to have only 35 calories compared to 80 calories in the regular pudding. However, experts have a different take on this.
"Don't get into the trap of no-fat chocolates. When manufacturers remove the sweet stuff, they add fat. These might also contain the element, sorbitol, which can cause health problems like bloating and diarrhea.
LOW FAT BUTTER
CONSUMPTION of low fat butter is of course any day a better choice than the regular stuff but too much of that can make you fat too. Nutralite and Amul Lite, the low calorie bread spreads are a popular choice among the health conscious. These are cholesterol free, low in saturated fats.
DIET SNACKS
GO TO any of the urban supermarkets, and you won’t miss those ubiquitous fat free sweets, jams, muffins and bhujias . All these, promising you to take on guilt free trip! But beware, as most of these snacks are also sugar and fat bombs in disguise.
Gorge on them, yes, but not with false hopes, warn experts.
