Products labeled low-fat or fat-free can do your waistline more harm than good. A 2013 study published in the journal Appetite fed subjects identical meals on separate occasions. The information they received about the meals differed, however, in that one was said to be lower in fat and calories than the other. The researchers found that men consumed on average 3% more calories when noshing on the meals they believed to be low-fat. Foods labeled as such can cause you to increase what you think is an appropriate serving size, underestimate total consumption, and even alleviate guilt in the aftermath.
