Controlling your blood sugar is the key to sustainable weight loss, says Wellbeing's Nutritionist Kate Arnold.
Nearly one in two people are overweight or obese in the UK today. It's easy to assume that this is solely due to an increase in calorie intake but it's actually more to do with the types of food we are eating. Over the last fifteen years, the average British calorie intake has actually fallen. In China, where obesity is still rare, the average calorie intake is 2,630 kcals per day, this is more than the Americans who consume a daily average of 2,360 kcals.
