TUESDAY SATURDAY

Stop adding sugar Limit the booze

Time to eat your breakfast cereal without a sprinkling of sugar on top, and take your coffee with a dusting of cinnamon instead. Say goodbye to all sugar substitutes, too – that includes artificial sweeteners and ‘natural’ sugars like agave, rice malt syrup and honey. The idea is you’re training your tastebuds out of their need for sweetness. If you’re known to savour a few glasses of vino when you’re socialising or out to dinner with friends, aim to cut your intake to a single glass. “It’s the empty kilojoules in alcohol and the added sugar in mixers that can add to your waistline,” explains Woolfe. Plus the buzz you get from drinking lowers your inhibitions, making you more likely to reach for another slice of pizza, or an extra helping of dessert.
