Easter weekend is right around the corner, meaning the supermarket shelves are filled with an abundance of chocolate temptations. However, if you're watching your sugar intake or try to maintain a calorie deficit, it can be difficult knowing your limits. Don't even get me started on the Easter egg hunt. What's the fun in spending hours looking for your chocolate, and then not being able to enjoy it?
With this in mind, I spoke to Pamela Nisevich Bede, a nutritionist for Lingo, Abbott. She explained how the Lingo team has been putting certain chocolates to the test, just to see how impactful the sugar content can be. Pamela explained how she "doesn't like to demonise foods, however it is good to be aware of how different foods can impact glucose spikes.”
