Dietitian: Many diet-conscious consumers are excited about new "fake fat" products designed to give food the flavor and consistency of fatty foods, yet without fat's harmful effects. █████████ ███ ██████ ███ ███ ███ ██████████ ██ ████ ████ ████ ██████ ███ ██████ ██ ██ █████████████ ████████ ████████ ███ █████ ████ ████ ██████ █████████ ██ ███████████ ███ █████ ██████████ █████ █████ ████ ████ ██ ████ ██ ██ █████ ██ ████ ██████████ ████████ ██ ███ █████ ██ ██████ █████ █████
People who switch to "fake fat" products to lose weight are unlikely to achieve their goal of losing weight because they often consume extra calories that negate the savings from the "fake fat" foods.

This choice is incorrect because it focuses on the premise that people consume extra calories when they eat “fake fat” products. While this premise suggests that people take in a fixed number of daily calories, it is not the argument’s main conclusion.
