One of the healthier changes I've made to my diet is using light and low-carb versions of my favorites. Ranch/honey mustard both come in light versions from the same brands, and I literally cannot tell a difference in taste. They're half the calories, fats, and sugars, and taste exactly the same. The same goes for tortillas, I buy low-carb tortillas for wraps/burritos (half my diet these days) and I cannot tell a difference from the usual ones.
Two things I do take into consideration: first is that some of the light options just replace sugar with aspartame/sucralose/stevia, etc. which I'm not opposed to, but it seems dishonest to put a load of artificial sweeteners into a health-oriented product. For this reason, I choose light mayo over light Miracle Wip, because while miracle whip is lower in calories, it has sucralose. The second factor is in fat-free Reddi-Wip, which is ridiculously low calorie, and again, no artificial stuff. The problem with this is it melts MUCH faster than regular whipped cream, I assume because the fat is what holds it all together lol. Same for Halo Top, way lower calorie/sugar/fat but that stuff melts within minutes of being out of the freezer.
All this rambling to say, does anyone even notice a difference in these products besides what I mentioned? It honestly makes me wonder why the normal product isn't using the same product, considering how much lower the calories can be for the same taste. On this topic, are there any products you refuse to compromise on, and have to have the real thing? I know some people are that way with ice cream.
