Hi, I'm new to this site. Trying to find ideas of healthy eating and getting support from others who have been or are in the same circumstances as myself

Hi Panther_Queen ,

Welcome to the Healthy Eating forum. Here is a link to the NhS Choices webpage about the 'Healthy eating pages' - linked to this forum, which has some helpful information - and I hope you'll find something of interest - but also do have a look at our Topics and maybe search for any posts that interest you using the 'Search Healthy Eating' window (top right of the screen).

Wishing you a great week, and hope to see you around and about in the forum.

Hi, What you need to do is make small changes gradually. You, of course, need information to do this. One of the books I often recommend is The Need to Know Guide to Nutrition and Healthy Eating, a YMCA information book by Tim Shaw BSc MSc. It gives you all the basic information without - most importantly - going on a diet. It is about changing your lifestyle for good. Sounds ominous but it is much more straight forward than you might think. The guide is short only 48 pages. You could read it in a weekend. I brought my copy on Amazon. Good luck.
