Low-calorie foods cannot offer quick fixes or serve as "magic bullets" for weight loss or weight control. However, attractive, goodtasting, low-calorie, low-fat foods can fit into a nutritionally balanced weight-reduction or weight-control regimen. Many of these items can reduce the trauma of "doing without", thus enabling successful, sustained control of energy consumption with less emotional support than is generally required for strict dietary regimens. Although diet alone is rarely a complete solution to the problem of obesity, low-calorie foods can play a significant role in weight management and thus health promotion.
