I don’t think wee coos ever drink cider, they can't get the tops of the bottles or open the ring pull on a tin as they've no thumbs, honestly Morgan, you really should think a bit before you post a reply.

We need to get back to eating butter rather than margarine, and try to avoid puddings and sweets entirely. If the Govt was serious about obesity they would ban confectionary - none of the confectioners are UK companies anymore anyway... What's wrong with margarine?

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Cutting back on refined sugars does lead to more sustained energy throughout the day, I can vouch for that. Your taste buds improve too and you taste sweetness in things like black coffee without having to load on the sugar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes butter is very fatty but improves so many dishes by using it instead of olive oil . However I tend to try less oil : byrrr as possible and cook food in theit natural oils/ juices / etc .

I love savoury things too but if they come in the form of crisps and biscuits they can be bad for you as well as the high carbs are turned to glucose in the gut. Cheese I do love though and over consume it on too many occasions. Peanut and other nut butters are good savoury options to go for but not the cheap ones that have added sugar and palm oils.

Crisps and cheese for me too , I really need to get rid of cheese out my diary due to health issues but I’d miss it . Last night I made some nachos covered in cheese , tomato salsa ( home made ) olives , and mayonnaise . Totally fattening but heck it tasted fabulous . Was a wee treat really .

FWJ Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) Refined sugar (the stuff you buy in a bag in the supermarket) is perfectly ‘natural’ it’s just that it’s pure carbohydrate - in this case sucrose. It’ll give you energy but that’s all it’s ‘empty calories’ there are no vitamins or minerals in it. Any pure sugar is the same, but if it’s from fruit (fructose) or honey (maltose) there will be other vitamins and minerals along with it in the fruit or honey that are beneficial. Sucrose (table sugar) is particularly bad for your teeth because it can be turned by a type of bacteria in your mouth into a plaque which sticks to your teeth and (like other sugars) is metabolised into an acid which causes decay.

Yep. Ive just started doing this with various dressing for salads. So simple to make and healthier and cheaper than bottles of dresssings.
