Sugar Intake Up During Diwali Week
“After the two years of COVID, people have gone all out and celebrated Diwali with full fervour this year – gaining 1.5 kg on average in a week alone! However, it is good to see that many people have promptly made progress toward getting back in shape – losing most of the holiday weight in the 10 days following,” said Anjan Bhojarajan, Chief Business Officer, HealthifyMe.
According to HealthifyMe, among India’s leading metros, Pune (46 percent) consumed the maximum sugar, followed by Hyderabad (34 percent), Bengaluru (34 percent), and Chennai (33 percent).
Among the Indian sweets, Kaju Katli and Gulab Jamun took the pole position in terms of sweet consumption recorded during Diwali week on the app, according to the report.
