Meet the Sugar-Free Challengers. These brave four women and one man are all taking on the 5 Weeks to Sugar-Free challenge, for various reasons... they all have amazing stories which I feel privileged to have heard. So, we had a chat and I set them off on their challenge with some tips and recipes.

Sherri, 46, describes herself as someone who is ‘slightly overweight and works with a ton of people half my age that all look pretty damn good!’

‘The Agency I work at is FULL of sugar on a daily basis (we hold a lot of charity bake sales!) and I believe deep down it's doing me a lot of harm which I'm storing for my future - because I eat tonnes of it and have diddly squat willpower!'

'When you get to a certain age you start thinking about your own mortality and it's a bit scary! My two grandchildren need me to have energy for them now and to be around for them long term.'

Meet the rest of the Challengers.
