I’m with Gingy. “Low fat butter” is IMO like “sugar free candy” – it defeats the whole purpose of the food in the first place, and why bother? But the beauty of WW is that if you have to have butter you can; you just have to write it down and accommodate the points in other ways. I thought I needed to butter every bread product I ate, but once I was on the program a while and realized just how those essentially empty calories were adding up, I pretty much cut butter out of my diet. I don’t really miss it now.

Count me in as a third. I lost my weight on WW, and I have kept it off for 4 1/2 years. Right now I am trying to take off vacation weight, and am counting points strictly again. I’m on 20 points plus the 35 weekly, and I’ve been able to keep to those points without eating any food that has been conciously made “low-fat”. I do eat low-fat foods, like yogurt & milk, but I am very concious that the foods are not “fraken-foods”. Whole grains, veggies, fruit - they should be the center.
