Diet With Kathi: The Fabulous Weight Loss Journey

Let's weigh in on cream cheese. Everyone knows that to make a dish lighter we can substitute fat-free cream cheese for the full-fat variety.

But is it worth it? Should we do it? Should we sacrifice the exquisite flavor of a special dish by using substitutions?

Personally, I do not like the taste of most fat-free ingredients, with cream cheese being right at the top of the list.

On the other hand, whenever I buy something such as cool whip or other non-dairy whipped toppings, I always reach for the fat-free. Same with ice cream and frozen yogurt... I love the fat free variety.
