If you want to lose weight, you need to eat fewer calories per day than you burn off in exercise. Foods which are high in fat contain a lot of calories, so cutting down on fatty foods is one way of losing weight. Very sugary foods also contain quite a lot of calories, but fat contains about twice as many calories as sugar per 100 g.
See separate leaflets called Healthy Eating for a more general overview of food and health, and Weight Reduction - How to Lose Weight which gives advice if you are planning to lose weight.
