40 teaspoons of sugar daily. Help for your weight loss journey.

40 teaspoon fulls of sugar daily for 2 months was the challenge that Damon Gameau undertook in That Sugar Film.

While initially that may seem like a lot, statistics (1, 2, 3, 4) show that on average we eat much more than that!

I wanted to bring the film to you attention as it has made me rethink the many "healthy" foods we have in the supermarket, e.g. low fat, heart healthy, natural yogurt is basically no different to a Mars bar.

The film has some fun cinematography, some shocking scenes of terrible teeth (not for the faint hearted) and a playfully educational style that took fairly difficult concepts of fatty liver liver disease, different sugar metabolism pathways and even a little history of sugar and presented them in a very accessible and easy to understand manner.

You will see the effects of high sugar consumption on the physical and psychological side.

You will also be able to see the effects of sugar withdraw and perhaps relate to Damon's feelings. If you're in the same situation, you're not alone.

I hope you can use this film as motivation and a reminder on your fat loss journey!


If you've seen it, what did you think of it? Do you think it might be helpful for weight loss motivation?
 
Wow, that's a lot of sugar! I don't think I personally consume more than that but I never really calculated it.
 
It's a lot more than I thought as well.

If you have a minute, take a look at the links I posted. It seems we eat much more than 40 g. The numbers are quite staggering!
