We know how confusing it gets with all the mixed messaging out there around fats and sugars. Are they good? Bad? Okay in small doses? What about diet drinks or sugar-free alternatives? Helen is joined in this short bonus episode by nutritionist Ruth Taylor to clear things up once and for all. 

Listen in for the simple answer around fats and sugars, and which of the two you should look to ditch from your diet if you’re trying to lose weight and stay healthy for the long term.

Ruth Taylor is a BANT nutritionist and registered nurse who works on the Boots Online Doctor specialist lifestyle medicine and weight loss team.
