From the workplace canteen or sandwich bar to the fast food outlet and, especially in fancy restaurants, nutrition is often an afterthought. We all know we should eat more healthily. Here are some easy ways to order more healthy if you are eating out.

Sugar reduction currently dominates the international nutrition agenda. In this report, we’ll look at the issues around sugar reduction in the UK and explore the wide range of Low Calorie sweeteners available.

Taking control by switching sugar for a Low Calorie Sweetener like Hermesetas can have a big impact on sugar consumption over time. Sweeteners are really useful both when you’re trying to lose weight and to maintain a healthy weight. Apart from helping people to eat a lower sugar diet, sweeteners have a role in health by promoting weight management, good dental health and optimal blood sugar control.

From our very first food, the sweetness of a mother’s milk, we’re programmed to appreciate sweet flavours. That’s why most of us enjoy sugary foods and are reluctant to give them up. Nearly two thirds of people are overweight or obese,putting themselves at risk of type 2 diabetes, cancer, heart disease, depression and osteoarthritis.

Weight loss is also about positive thinking – your mind is the most important tool when losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
