Hmmm.... sometimes, the high-fat reward works; at least, it has for me. The day AFTER I have ice cream is the day I'll see a drop on the scale. Or did, anyway, when I had a scale. That doesn't mean I'll eat the whole container of Ben and Jerry's, mind you, but I'd have a half-cup and bam! Two or three pounds down the next day. (That's after a week of fairly clean and calorie-counted eating, mind you, not just after the ice cream.)
Roxy, aim for fats (good fats) about 20% of your calories, proteins 20-30% of your calories, and carbs the rest (50-60%), unless your doctor has specifically put you on a low-fat diet.
