Hi!

I posted here last week. But I have a question that I'm not really sure can be answered.

Last year and the year prior, I played around a bit with Keto. Which also ment totally avoiding ALL THINGS LOW FAT not only because, well, I needed a higher fat content, but also because in NZ EVERYTHING "low fat" is loaded with sugar.

Now I have this mentality that sugar is totally bad, and I'm afraid to buy anything "low fat" even though I'm not really "doing" a diet now. I'm simply watching my intake and making better choices. 

Do low fat things actually help with weight loss? I'm so confused becuase my mind is just "SUGAR = NO!" even though I still have a sugar in my coffee, or I'll eat one cookie. I think it's the fact that it's "hidden sugar". It's supposed to be "healthy" (low fat) but my idea of healthy is not sugar laden sauces. Does sugar contribute to calories? Or does fat? Or is it neither? I'm so confused when it comes to this. :/ I don't even know if this post makes sense.
