Enter for your chance to Win one of 6 x copies of Yvonne Webb's new book, For Goodness' Sake, Let's Talk Sugar.

A dietitian, physiologist, researcher and former academic, Yvonne's book explores sugar and the important role it plays in our everyday lives.

Let's Talk Sugar is a definitive and refreshing guide to sugar that will enlighten and surprise. It is scientifically-backed and debunks myths around sugar in health and nutrition.

It discusses food behaviours around food intake and weight control, and the importance of sugars and other carbohydrates in the diet and their central role in control and maintaining the equilibrium of both the individual and the earth.

In the book, Yvonne answers myriad questions she has been asked over the past 20 years about sugar including how much energy you get from a teaspoon, fizzy drinks, what the difference is between starch and sugars, what a sugar-free diet really means, how sugar is made and the nitty gritty of food labelling.

Let's Talk Sugar takes a practical approach to food preparation and good food choice. It includes topics such as:

- how taste buds work

- ending the confusion about energy and calories/kilojoules

- reading and interpreting food labels

- words that indicate a food contains sugar

- the surprising role of leftovers for weight control

- breakfast or no breakfast

- budgeting

- choosing recipes that match a lifestyle

The book does not demonise any food, including sugar. However, a food classified as 'good' does not give permission for unlimited intake.

"Let's Talk Sugar is about how to enjoy sugar and all the foods you eat. Understanding my recommendations will provide readers with all the information they need to adopt a healthy lifestyle," said Yvonne.

One of Yvonne's key take-away messages is that serve size is crucial in a person's eating habits, whether they want to control their weight or their blood sugar.

This book proposes alternative strategies to beating sugar addiction. Not doing so could lead to irreversible change.

Written for both professionals and everyday consumers, chapters throughout the 180-page book explore subjects such as:

- non-nutritive sweeteners

- how sugar is created and various terminologies

- how the human body processes sugar

- the role of carbohydrates in energy supply

- resistant starch

- the hormone insulin and latest research

- reading RDIs on food labels, plus much more
