Cheesecake, if it's going to edible at all, has to have quite a lot of fat in it. You can't eat whatever you want and expect it to be good for you. Eat something else that really is good for you, or else eat genuine cheesecake, enjoy it and live with the consequences, but don't mess about with disgusting cheesecake substitutes.
