A top nutritionist is warning against drinks which appear to be healthy, but in actual fact may wreck your diet. Smoothies, fizzy drinks, alcohol and shop-bought juices are on the no-drink list for dieters, says Susie Howe, a Hertfordshire-based nutritionist.
She advises people on gut health, stress and weight management. Speaking to The Express, Susie said: “I keep all my advice realistic and relatable by offering the practical application of well-evidenced solutions to make positive and sustainable life changes. Instead, we should be adding high nutrient foods to keep us satiated such as protein and fibre that will also feed the gut microbiome. For example meat, fish, beans, pulses, fruit, and vegetables.
“Our gut microbes can alter the way we store fat, how we balance our blood glucose levels and how we respond to hormones signalling hunger and satiety. So we need to keep these well-fed with probiotic and prebiotic foods.”
