The 50minute video below provides a great over view of what the ideal balance and portions of food you need to eat to lose weight, manage your diabetes and cholesterol levels or simply just eat well.  You would ideally watch this after you have seen the Label Reading presentation, as this would help answer the question of which products to buy, followed by this next presentation to indicate how much to eat and the ideal balance of protein to carbs.

If you have specific dietary needs due to irritable bowl or weight loss surgery, then all you need to do is talk to Helen and additional information will be provided.

It is highly recommended that you download the files listed below that you will be referring to during the above presentation, before you begin listening to the video. It’s always best to be prepared as much as possible. This will enable you to self assess your personal dietary intake and discover which dietary changes you will need to make to help you lose weight, control your diabetes and lower your cholesterol levels.

Below is quick 5min video I produce for Foxtel some years back. I summarize really well the baalnce and volume of food. Having gone through all the detail above you would now have the volume of knowledge of the how to do it yourself. I am a little stricter now and only recommend snacks if hungry between meal times.
