Time to look at diet as govt warns Brits eat 5bn calories too many
Today the government announced that the British diet is a whopping five billion calories more than it should be.Which is easy to imagine when you consider that equates to the average Briton overeating by just ten percent, about 200 calories a day for ladies, or 250 for men.
As one of the fattest countries in Europe, 60 per cent of our adults are overweight or obese, and even scarier; a third of ten to eleven year olds fall into this category too.
So now the government has called on people to take note of their diet and look after themselves, it’s a good time to focus on your own eating.
The internet is a great tool if you're embarking on a diet plan because you can access all your support wherever you are. Also it's quick and easy to search for healthy recipes, so you don't feel like you're missing out on your favourite foods.
And instead of investing in expensive exercise DVDs, YouTube is a great resource, with millions of personal trainers uploading their own tips for you to follow every day.
