Fat v Sugar?

Our bodies can adapt to either high fat content or high sugar content in our diet (it may still not be a healthy way of eating, though).

• High fat in your diet - you feel full, so you stop eating.
• High sugar in your diet - you eat less of other foods to keep the calorie intake level.

It's the combination of fat and sugar that confuses the body, with the worst combination being foods that are 50/50 fat and sugar. Which is why cakes, desserts and ice creams will be obvious items to cut down on.
