Michael Mosley's six tips to improve our diet

In Why your diet isn’t working: Michael Mosley’s six things to change right now Bonnie Bayley talks to Michael Mosley about what we're doing wrong in our diets. His six things are:

• You think diet soft drinks are healthy -- they aren't
• You’re terrified of your natural hunger signals --we don''t have to eat as soon as we feel hungry
• You eat low-fat dairy -- full fat lowers your risk of type 2 diabetes
• You’re partial to bread and pasta -- commercial breads are full of sugar and salt, stick to dark rye bread. As for pasta, reheat it to make it healthier
• You rely on willpower to make healthy choices -- It's much easier to not have any unhealthy choices available so don't keep them in the house
• You mainline the smoothies -- you lose the benefits of the fibre which slows sugare absorption. You're better off eating whole fruit and vegetables.
