Following in the vein of Super-Size Me but with an entertaining Aussie twist, writer-director Damon Gameau spends 60 days on a high sugar, low fat diet, with chilling consequences.

One man’s journey to discover the bitter truth about sugar. Picking up where Super-Size Me left off, but with an entertaining Aussie twist, writer-director Damon Gameau spends 60 days on a high sugar, low fat diet, with chilling consequences.

Consuming the Australian average of 40 teaspoons of sugar a day, the only catch is that he must do this without consuming any soft drinks, chocolate, ice cream or confectionery. He only eats the perceived ‘healthy’ foods that are in fact full of hidden sugars like low fat yoghurt, muesli bars, juices and cereals. The results are shocking and will forever change the way you think about ‘healthy’ food.
