Welcome to Week 4
Keep going everyone, and remember a little progress each day adds up to big results.

You didn't gain all your weight in one day; you won't lose it in one day. Be patient with yourself and don't worry if you haven't seen much change in your weight this week, just keep going.

Eatwell Guide
The Eatwell Guide shows the proportions of the main food groups that form a healthy, balanced diet:
- Eat at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables every day
- Base meals on potatoes, bread, rice, pasta or other starchy carbohydrates; choosing wholegrain versions where possible
- Have some dairy or dairy alternatives (such as soya drinks); choosing lower fat and lower sugar options
- Eat some beans, pulses, fish, eggs, meat and other proteins (including 2 portions of fish every week, one of which should be oily)
- Choose unsaturated oils and spreads and eat in small amounts
- Drink 6-8 cups/glasses of fluid a day
If consuming foods and drinks high in fat, salt or sugar have these less often and in small
amounts.
