Hiya

Have a look around the forum, there are lots of resources available including some wiki lists of books and websites, etc.

Have you started on the podcast yet? If not, it is a great place to start. You can download them and then listen on the go - I like listening to them in the car for example.

The Diet Doctor has a good collection of infographics for newbies.

It can be a bit overwhelming as there is loads of info to start ploughing through. You just need to jump in and get started. Anywhere will do!

Welcome.
