Hey @Dimity ,
I went through the Life! program as I mentioned the other night.
All in all, I realised it was not about diets, but rather, an entire lifestyle change.
I always thought I was a healthy eater with the occasional sweets. After going away with my sister and her family (who is VERY healthy), I realised there were many little unhealthy 'habits' that I had. For example, I don't make time to eat. Rather, I eat a huge amount when I have time.
The Life! program taught us about portioning and how to read food labels etc. They also recommended an app called FoodSwitch, where you scan the barcode of food products, and they give you healthier alternatives.
This was a start.
I also have a lot to work on in terms of this lifestyle change. It's good to know others are also in the same boat - not about just losing weight, but rather, to be healthier and prevent lifestyle diseases.
