Comments from participants:

Each week was very informative, we covered lots of different aspects of changing eating habits.
Interaction with other participants was very helpful to find out “tricks” they used to avoid snacking on unhealthy foods
Very helpful, very practical
Thank you so much for cutting through all the rubbish and getting back to simple weight loss advice. I was drowning in lots of conflicting advice and losing hope that I would ever get healthy and be a role model. You have given me the tools to help myself get out of the vicious circle and you have given me back hope.
Sensible approach to diet and exercise
Dietitian was easy to listen to and easy to understand
