Low-Fat Label Wellness Tradeoff
Low-fat label wellness tradeoff swaps fat for sugar in packaged foods—often hurting satiety while calories stay similar.
The low-fat label wellness tradeoff is when fat-free yogurt, cookies, and dressings swap fat for extra sugar and refined starch—same calories, weaker satiety, and worse afternoon control for some people. Fat carries flavor and hormone support; cutting it entirely can spike snack hunts.
Choose plain yogurt plus nuts over sweetened fat-free cups. Keep wholesome fats measured, not eliminated.
