On Thursday evening, opening Low-Fat Calories Count LANCASTER (Lan caster Co.) —As a nation, we’ve gotten the message to eat less fat and cholesterol, but we are still heavier than ever. Cholesterol intake and fat consumption has dropped from a high of 40 percent of calories in the 1960 s to about 34 percent of calories today. Despite this sta tistic, waistlines have continued to expand to the point where one in three Americans now weighs more than 20 percent above the ideal weight. Why do we con tinue to pile on the pounds? Calories appear to be the major culprit. We may be eating fewer calories as fat, but we’re eating more calories than ever. According to government surveys, the average daily caloric intake among Ameri cans increased from 1,969 in 1978 to 2,200 in 1990. While this may seem like a modest increase, it converts to a potential weight gain of 24 pounds per year. In 1991 and 1992 alone, supermarket shelves bulged with almost 2,500 new reduced-fat and fat-free products. Americans seemed convinced that if it was fat-free, it also must be calorie-free. It’s now time for a reality check. The biggest problem with the “eat all that you want as long it’s low-fat” theory appears to be just that: “eating all that you want” What’s the bottom line? Reducing the fat in the diet is still an impor tant component of any weight management plan, and reduced-fat and fat-frcc foods can help.
