SSS2 Episode 6 -the myth of moderation and toxic sugar.

Back to nutrition and weight loss thankfully - coronavirus is on the backburner for the moment.

Today we cover the myth of moderation - was it Buddha who said "everything in moderation" or was it the ancient Greeks? Maybe it's in the Bible. Or was it the Coca Cola company? Regardless of who it was, it's a con.

Also today, the psychology of hunger- is it hunger you feel or the desire to taste a flavour?

This episode explores the myth of calories- how a perfectly respectable unit of energy has become a tool of the food industry to nudge you towards unhealthy foods. We also look at how portion size has increased over the years, and why this has occurred. And if you have ever been camping without a torch, you will know exactly why an overnight fast makes a lot of sense and may help you to be healthier.
