‘’ I have to say that finally, I have had a dietary revelation after 40+ years of searching. Something actually resonates with me and I finally ‘get it’. !!!! I am referring to session four and the:

• Plate / clockface analogy
• The serving sizes using a hand
• The food diary showing the servings per day showing the coloured balls representing servings of each food group”

“I feel like I now understand what makes up a healthy balance diet in terms of serving sizes and number of servings per day!!!”

“I am finding the emotional eating, healthy eating, plate and serving guides really interesting and relevant.  I really feel that I am being properly educated and informed.  I look forward to putting what I learn into practice.”

“I’ve changed how I plan meals, what I eat and also have increased the amount of exercise I do. I have become more aware of if I am eating because I need food, or if it is because I am sad /angry / happy etc.”

“It has been a positive for me, as part of my learning I can watch it again and again. You have done a great job with the programme to enable us to continue on our journeys.”
