Real Mayo vs. Fake Mayo

Is there anyone out there that uses real (Helmann's) Mayo as compared to light or fat free? I have been using the light, but some things just don't taste right without the regular mayo. Marianne

This is what I was told from my surgeon. Do not use fat free or substitute ANYTHING. Main reason being that when they go to make foods fat free , they add in sugars and carbs to substitute.

I use light, I will not use fat free.

Well we use to use the real mayo years ago but switched to lite. So I am use to the lite already. I think if you are counting calories and such the regular shouldn't be a major issue. I can't do fat free mayo (any type). The taste is so bland and it ruins what ever I put it in. However, these days a lot of my favorites don't taste right. I am re-learning the foods that my taste buds like. Strange thing though..... Shannon

I use the Lite Mayo. I have accustomed myself to it. I just use very little. I think Hellmans doesn't taste too bad but that is just my taste buds talking. Erin

Marianne, I agree with Deb... when I was on Atkins I found that the real mayo was better as far as carbs go. Read the labels to compare but I only use real mayo because the others have more carbs. Laura 330/229/140
