What tips do you have to keep a healthy diet?

I finished treatment recently and wanted to lose the weight I had put on during the past few months. I had used this well publicised program in the past and it had worked for me, you are given a consultant, see her weekly and only eat the meals they give you, pre packaged and frozen. My consultation went well until I disclosed my recent history. The Consultant contacted the Dietician by phone and she said I would not be accepted onto the program until 6 months after treatment had ceased. I must say, I did not expect this, I was stunned and upset. I phoned my daughter and she said "mum, what does that say about their food, it must be full of preservatives and chemicals". Big light bulb moment for me. I am only using fresh and healthy food, prepared from scratch, it is time consuming and not easy, but I am sure a lot better for me and my husband. Two thirds veggies and a little poultry or red meat. No trans fats that are in cakes and pastries. I don't know if the weight will drop off but this big company have done me a favour. Marls 59
