I don't find cutting fat completely out of my diet works either. Its
good to have some fat, its healthy. I've stopped trying to cut off
all the fat trimings on my steaks now. LOL.

A wholefood diet has scads of fat in it. It is unavoidable.
If you are normal weight and get a varied diet, a little meat fat is
not a problem. Most Westerners get too much energy and are looking for
empty calories to trim. Fat-free dairy and lean meat are two easy ways
to achieve this.

So it's just another calorie controlled diet? No wonder it mostly
fails. What's wrong with a balanced, varied, wholefood diet?
Cutting calories is much easier if you cut fat. Much more "bang for
the buck".

Wrong. At least for me. I found cutting calories easier when I put fat
back in my diet and reduced refined carbohydrates. I feel full longer
when there is sufficient fat in my diet. When I ate a low fat diet, I
had hunger cravings frequently.
