Obesity levels in the UK could be greatly reduced if overweight people cut out a large glass of wine, a pint of beer or a bar of chocolate from their daily diet, according to experts.
Two in three adults in the UK are considered overweight, something that is costing the NHS £6bn every year. But the Daily Mail reports that removing just over 200 calories from the average overweight Briton's diet could halve obesity rates according to analysis by Nesta, which calls itself an innovation agency for social good.
This figure equates to around one large glass of wine (227 calories), a pint of beer (182), 500ml of Coca-Cola (210) or two-and-a-half chocolate digestive biscuits.
