Before you Start a Diet

Thinking about trying keto, fasting, paleo, vegetarian or vegan eating? When you’re exhausted and not feeling like yourself, a new diet can feel like the obvious next step. But popular doesn’t always mean right for you, especially right now.

Before You Start a Diet: The 5-Minute Safety Check is a free, nurse-led guide that helps you pause and check the essentials before you change the way you eat. It’s not another set of food rules. It won’t tell you which diet to choose. It will help you make your next decision with more clarity and less pressure.

This guide is for you if you’re looking to:

• Check whether a new diet is safe and suitable for your health, medicines and life stage

• Know which nutrients to plan for before you cut out a food group

• Spot the signs it’s time to talk to your GP or a dietitian first

• Ask yourself honestly whether now is the right time to restrict

• Take one small, nourishing step without overhauling your whole life

Inside: a printable yes/no safety checklist, a simple diet comparison table, a two-minute nutrient replacement worksheet and a gentle capacity check for burnt-out women.

Nourish before you restrict. 🌿
