The best way to achieve and maintain a healthy weight is to be physically active and choose nutritious food and drinks that meet your daily energy needs. You can check your Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist measurement to see if your current weight is in the healthy range.

Dietitians can help you plan a diet, manage or prevent disease, and reach or maintain a healthy weight.

Body image is how you feel about your own body. Negative body image can lead to feelings of shame and self-consciousness, and is often linked to dieting or eating disorders. Improve your body image by focussing on positive qualities, eating well and exercising, and treating yourself with kindness and respect.

Complementary medicines include herbs, vitamins, minerals, and nutritional supplements. Always talk to your doctor before taking any herbal medicines or vitamin supplements.
