It's not sweets that do the damage as you know yo avoid them, it's the huge amount of hidden sugar in seemingly healthy stuff like low fat yoghurts, fruit juice and muesli / cereals!

Exactly, you can decide not to have biscuits etc and sweets are pretty small by volume, the hidden sugar is harder to identify.

I'm a huge lucozade fan.
Of course I knew it was full of sugar but seeing how much in Gabs post above is scary.

Calories in and calories out.

If you've put in a lazy day, eat nothing.

If you've worked hard physically get the spuds on and slap on the butter.

The programme yesterday suggested that all calories were not equal, the quick fix calories like sugar might be worse than the same calories from a spud.

I dunno about that. For 10,000 years, wheat/cereal products have been our staple food. I'd be careful about trying to evolve away from it unilaterally.

And I love bread.

Cut out the bread there since friday, obviously eating generally healthy too with rice,chicken and brocolli for lunch but first week there and weighed 6 pound lighter, dont know if it was the bread or eating in general but certainly didnt do any harm. Don't really miss it either. I drink alot of water which I think helps, normally 4L A day..

Weight loss is one thing, and there are plenty of different ways to lose it. Sugar carries health risks far beyond a bit of a pudgy belly. Diabetes, obviously, for one.

Ha! I'm tall (6ft6) so think the body needs it to be honest, also drink the most of it between 7-4.
