full fat, full sugar

Full fat, yes, but not full sugar. We cut the sugar to like 1/3 in most recipes and it usually comes out great. Most recipes I've seen use way too much sugar.

Fat is way more filling than carbs for the same amount of calories, so don't shy away from the fat. If you load up on fat and fiber, you'll feel more satisfied on less calories, so you're much less likely to sneak a taste of that sugary treat and totally reverse all the good you've been trying to do with reducing calories.
