I can't believe that about 30% of poll hardly ever eat bread, of biscuits or cereal etc. !

I ticked that section because I have just made a conscious decision to stop eating them (and have been carrying it out- not just thinking it). It is really difficult to start with and I don't know whether I'll do this for a few weeks or long term. Bread was a shocker as I had planned on living off bread whilst cutting out added sugar until I read about it properly. However, I suspect you are right and a lot of people mean they don't drink Vimto or eat custard creams.

I bake my own bread so can limit the sugar to 1 tbl of honey for two loaves. carbohydrate is an essential part of our diet and if bread is removed it is very important to eat much more whole grains such as rice and oats and also whole grain pasta.

Told you I was still learning. I can make bread so doing it myself with honey sounds great!

I only have one main meal in the evening and it is generally the same "Casserole" with different meat in.One thing I have noticed is the amount of salt contained in food,especially frozen roast potatoes and gravy that you Just add water too.Our food nowadays is loaded with tasty morsels to please our pleasure senses.I find myself reading more and sweetness is also a target.There is a saying "you are what you eat"
