Is sour cream good for weight loss?

I was actually researching keto diets recently and saw people using sour cream everywhere for weight loss. Apparently, the high fat keeps you full for longer, but I am still trying to understand if it actually works for our Indian vegetarian diets.

I lost 12 kgs last year. Sour cream is good only if you are on a strict low-carb/keto diet. If you are eating normal roti-sabzi and also adding sour cream, you will actually gain weight due to the high calories. Balance is everything.

Sour cream is high in calories and saturated fats, so it isn't a traditional weight loss food. If you want a similar creamy texture with much fewer calories and more protein, homemade hung curd is a far practical choice.

In our villages, we always preferred freshly churned buttermilk or light curd over these heavy packaged creams. Fresh buttermilk digests easily and naturally helps keep the body weight in check without any heavy fats.

If you are busy like me, measuring out tiny grams of high-calorie foods like sour cream is too much work. It is much easier to just stick to black coffee and egg whites for weight loss to avoid accidentally overeating calories.

I used to feel so guilty whenever I ate anything with cream while trying to lose weight. It took me a long time to realize that one spoon of sour cream won't ruin your progress as long as you are consistent with your overall daily routine.
