10% of our total energy intake should come from free sugars, which are your honey’s, fruit juice, vegetable juices, milk and extract syrups.
Reduce this to 5%, and you will notice the health benefits of weight loss.
To reduce your weight and enjoy sugar in the right way, not refined, try having, instead of a dessertspoon of honey, a teaspoon. Instead of a large bowl of grapes, have 8-10, which is the recommended amount in one day, as grapes are high in sugar.
Enjoy a small banana instead of a large one and choose water instead of a smoothie. A smoothie can add on calories, increasing your weight – be aware, you don’t need to add two bananas, bigger spoons of berries and extra honey.
