In a six-week test, 42 overweight women ate a diet identical in calories, carbos, protein and fat (11 percent of calories from fat). But some of the women ate 43 percent of calories in sugar; others ate only 4 percent. Result: The women lost equal amounts of weight and percentages of body fat. Researchers concluded that low-fat or fat-free foods that are high in sugar, such as commercial cookies and candies, are unlikely to harm a diet if you restrict total calories.
