Knowledge is power

Do you need to avoid foods like yoghurt and bananas because they are so high in sugar?

NO and NO
1. Sugar isn’t directly associated with belly fat
You have excess belly fat as the result of a consistent calorie surplus #ccs

Not from eating a banana that contains sugar
3. All sugar is not equal
Sugar in the form of a Haribo sweet we would consider an empty calorie

Empty calories are easy to over consume therefore managing intake to avoid a #ccs

Is probably a good idea

BUT

Sugar within nutrient dense foods, such as yogurt, and a banana

1. Contains protein, which helps to keep you fuller for longer

2. Contains micronutrients, which helps to keep you fuller for longer

3. And contains fibre, which helps to keep you fuller for longer too

Sugar and sugar free diets are demonised for no good reason

Yes it’s important to be aware and manage your intake of empty calorie sugary foods

But to stop eating foods that contain sugar and are packed with other nutrients?

That’s like me telling you to stop drinking water

Conclusion:

Know your food, understand your food

Enjoy sugar in all forms and start focusing on the laws of energy balance

Calories in vs calories out

The real game player when it comes to weight management #ccd
