22:00 Weight loss and diet quality. Since Christmas how much weight have you lost?
Changing diet habits is key. What improves diet quality?
- less sugar
- less refined foods (is there a wholegrain version?; is there a fresh version?)
- made at home means fewer preservatives
- boost your vegetables, fruits and high quality proteins.
