If the products have any of the following ingredients, you should rarely eat them...

white sugar, white flour, hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, splenda, aspartame, anything with trans-fats or deep fried.

Generally speaking, all hydrogenated fats, like solid margarine and some fried foods. Animal fat, especially the kind that is solid when it gets cold, like the grease from bacon or beef.

Chicken and turkey have a semi-liquid fat. The problem with chicken is that some people only eat it fried. That is too much fat, period!

Start reading the labels on prepared foods. You'll get an education and a shock. Some luncheon meats, for instance, indicate (example) serving size, 1 slice; 140 calories, 100 from fat.

Stay away from prepared foods Luncheon meats, hot dogs, sausage, TV dinners, ice cream, and chips of any kind. Not only do they have too much fat, they're loaded with sodium/salt, and many of them have 'high fructose corn syrup' - that's an ingredient that makes the eater want MORE!!! Watch out for trans fats. Such a fuss has been made in the U.S. that many cookie makers have stopped putting that in their baked goods.

If you truly want to avoid fatty foods, READ THE LABELS, or prepare your own foods from fresh vegetables, fruits and meats (limited). Fish and other seafood is good, too, and some eggs each week won't hurt you. The egg yolk has some saturated fat, but it also had lecithin, an ingredient that "takes care of the fat."

I don't like how these people keep saying you shouldn't eat anything that tastes good. After all, carrots taste good. Chicken, too. Mint, salads... Heck, I can think of a lot of good-tasting foods that won't make you fat. If you shouldn't eat good-tasting stuff, does that mean you should eat bad-tasting stuff? Should I trade my applesauce with cinnamon for a bowl of sand? Or an apple for an avacado?

Like the others said, avoid chips and soda, deep-fried foods, desserts (especially cheesecake and pies, those are rolling in calories), candy (which may or may not count as dessert), and fast food. Not ALL fast food is bad, but most of it is. Between the cooking methods and the supersizing, you're better off cooking your own food, saving your waistline and money.

My personal advice is to skip the fats that become solids at room temperature. Bacon comes to mind right now, with all the grease drippings that harden either in the sink or trash can or in a container on the countertop. Not all of the grease comes out during cooking, of course.

About skipping the carbs, I personally think that's bogus. People are entitled to their opinion, but all I know is that when my parents took the no-carb/low-carb diet, they dropped about 7 pounds in the first week...and those pounds came right back, even after sticking like superglue to the diet. Your body needs an equal balance of nutrients, not just one kind or the other. And getting rid of all of the carbs also gets rid of a lot of the fiber and nutrients you need from those foods (veggies and grains). The carbs you should be getting rid of consist of dessert items, sugars, starches, etc., but that's hardly all of the carb-filled foods.

Anyway, carbohydrates aren't technically "fatty foods," so that's not exactly answering the main question.

On the other hand, every food you eat can turn into fat in your body. Yeah, carbs, meats, whatever--anything that gives you energy. If you eat 1,000 calories of any kind of food and don't use those 1,000 calories (common form of calorie use=exercise), they're stored in the body, in fat cells, for future use. Of course, that means that the fat cells get bigger and, in turn, you get bigger. Energy in = energy out. That's the equation. If you don't use all the energy you take in, it gets stored in the body. Conversely, if you use more energy than what you take in, the energy already stored in your body is used to make up for it. Fat gain and dieting in a nutshell.

Things that include the words "fried, creamy,barbeque sauce, breaded, w/gravy etc etc. have more calories. The longer things are fried the more oils are absorbed. Stay away from foods prepared with lard, bacon grease or butter. Anything that stays in solid form when cold (like the last 3 mentioned) are bad.

Any saturated fat

Bacon
Pork Sausage
Oreo (the center is fat and sugar)
Chips
When you have steak or pork chops trim off all visible fat
Chicken Skin (your chicken should be skinless)
Barbecued Ribs (that kills me, I love BBQ ribs)

I have heard that fried chicken and movie theatre popcorn is really bad. Just don't eat anything that has trans fat in it and you should be fine.
