Welcome JM123 I don't think it's possible to do all completely fat free cooking. There is fat in olive oil, avocadoes, nuts and even oatmeal. I make it a point though to do low fat cooking. If you are interested in some low fat recipes I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

I think low-fat can be very useful, while fat-free can be dangerous & unhealthy.

In the states most manners of lower fat cooking revolve around better managing the oils used- and the use of leaner proteins. Those with severely limited preferences even tighten up consumption of nuts, avacados and dairy.

As an overweight person I have lost weight multiple times by restricting fat levels. Low-fat cooking is a fantastic way to reduce weight and increase health. It can also lead to inventive and ingenius ways to change the way one thinks about certain foods, and food preparation.

Managed well and properly, fat restriction has so many incredible benefits. But in my opinion, if that restriction includes complete elimination- that can lead to undesired results.
