For those who are on low-carb diets, it's better to eat real food that's low in carbs than fake food.
For instance, regular salad dressing is lower in carbs than diet or lowfat salad dressing. Also, to maintain a good low-carb diet... you should "cheat" from time to time like once a week with something small or once a month with something normal. Once a month, go to a restaurant and eat a normal (not low-carb) meal. Once a week, have a cup of soda or a pint of ice cream. Other than that, keep your low-carb diet focused on meats (preferably white meat) and salads... with plenty of water.
