Your route through this guide
Begin with the basics. Choose one useful next step.
The essentials
A clearer starting point.
Compare similar products
Use labels to compare salt, sugars and saturated fat in foods you buy regularly. Compare like with like and check serving sizes.
Add variety
Build meals around a variety of vegetables, fruit, pulses and whole grains. Choose affordable, familiar options that you enjoy.
Think beyond one meal
A balanced pattern leaves room for different occasions. Avoid turning a single food choice into a judgment about yourself.
Put it into practice
Pick one useful swap.
Try water with one meal if you often choose sugary drinks. Add a vegetable side to a familiar dinner. Compare two versions of a regularly purchased food. Choose one manageable change rather than replacing everything at once.
Common questions
Understand your next step.
Are all processed foods the same?
Processing covers many different foods. Look at the product, its ingredients and how it fits your diet rather than judging by one broad label.
Do I need a forbidden-food list?
A generic list cannot account for your health, needs and preferences. Work with a qualified professional when you need a personalised plan.
