The truth about sugar, you'll get it on the iPlayer was definitely scary with so much hidden sugar. The next is the truth about calories and highlighting hidden or empty calories. its on Thursday at nine on bbc1 or Sunday at 4pm on bbc1. There was a qui k preview on This Morning and was showing simple swaps to improve calorie intake. For example rare meat is better than well done because it is harder to digest now I know why I love my steak blue. Also soup fills you for longer, strange but true.

Apparently we are only supposed to eat six teaspoons of sugar a day yet there are more than that in a tin of beans, anything with tomato tended to have high sugar. There is so much hidden sugar.

I have just watched this, and its an eye opener!! I don't really have a sweet tooth, but its the hidden sugar that I find frightening!! It does explain why if I have fruit for breakfast I'm hungry two hours later, i definitely need to have protein lol!!! I usually cook from scratch but and don't have sugar in my tea, but will see if there are ways of reducing my sugar consumption which could help to improve my fitness. Thanks for the tip!
