People often assume that Dietitians are all about what not to eat. If that is you, then I have Great News! Dietitians love food, we love eating and drinking, but we firmly believe that what you put into your body matters and that quality of the diet is paramount. This doesn't mean spending huge amounts of money on food, but buying food of the highest nutritional quality that you can. And it doesn't mean giving up all things yummy, but it does mean putting a little bit of effort into achieving dietary balance.  

​

My philosophy in diet:

• Nutrition science is complicated, so its important that everything I do is evidence based and not swayed by popular trends (unless of course they are based on good evidence)

• Enjoy What You Eat - sharing and enjoying food underpins the whole of society whether at school, at work, at home or at play. So take pride and take time to enjoy what you eat and drink, and to share it with family and friends. 

• Keep it simple - many changes to diet are simple, cheap and easy. Some require more effort. Be realistic and plan to achieve - not set yourself up to fail.

• If I don't know something I will tell you - but I will also try to find out the answer or guide you where to look
