Many people tell me they don’t have a sweet tooth. Declaring how they never add sugar to their tea or coffee. Often a case study and a closer look at their diet, reveals a different story. So you don’t actually go out and buy bags of sugar, but that doesn’t mean you are not consuming sugar, some a lot of sugar.

In just about every processed foods sugar hides like baked beans or most drinks. Of-course there is the obvious stuff like marmalade, jam, jelly etc  contain a whopping 60% of sugar. For every tablespoon of chocolate there is 2 teaspoons of sugar. Take crunchy nut cornflakes, the word nut makes it sound better than straight forward cornflakes, the difference is 6 times more sugar.

What happens to you at the week ends? Routines and healthy eating habits go out of the window. You turn into a snacking eating machine?

Typical things that happen at week- ends  Saturday morning get up later than usual and skip breakfast. Go shopping staving, shopping trolley gets filled with unhealthy snacks and those must have “week-end treats”. Chocolate to keep you going, some crisps (chips), tea and cookies.

Saturday night go out or have friends around or go to their house for a take-away, not eaten properly all day – devour starter, main course and a big fat dessert? It wouldn’t be the week-end without a few drinks too.
