Anyone know a good website to use to help plan a healthy diet? I am on a bit of a health kick and to be honest I know little about nutrition apart from the obvious stuff.

If you have cereal or toast for breakfast then take five bits of fruit out with you then there will be no need for fancy diets! You might find yourself craving something and that will either be water or protein so maybe include some slices of cold meat or cheese.
You'll be fine to have whatever tea you fancy.

Dieting can be just as bad for you as they are good IMO, if you take up a specific diet say for 4 weeks then go back to your usual habits after that your body will take in more fat because its been 'starved' for the 4 week term, your better off trying to change your eating habits completely more like a lifestyle change and stick with it, obviously let yourself have treats, enough to reward yourself for being good or you'll sicken yourself.

Not that I've tried any of that diet stuff :-) but if I was I'd start off by looking at NHS Inform.

Is it weightloss or a health kick?

Paleo diet.
My mate who's into his bodybuilding put me onto it. Was sceptical at first but its amazing how much better I feel since starting it.
There's numerous websites that explain it in more detail but it essentially involves cutting out processed food, grains and dairy.
The idea is that you eat food that in theory you could hunt or gather yourself so fish, meat, Veg, nuts, fungi and roots.

Substitute the white flour for brown grain and you are half way there...whole grain bread, pasta and brown rice...done, and it tastes so much better.
Snack on fruit, nuts and drink loads of water every day and you will be a lean muscle machine in no time - also feel so much more bright and alert."You opened the box....and your soul belongs to me...."

Eat less and exercise more. Everything else is just a scam to sell products, i'm afraid.

It's a change of eating habits you're after methinks. I dare say the popular interpretation of the word "diet" is a means of achieving weight loss.

When I first started eating a different diet i often came unstuck when i didn't have ingredients in the house so a ready meal or a sandwich or whatever was just convenient.
If your not in the habit of doing a big weekly shop that's always a good start. Plan meals and buy food accordingly. I quite often make 2 meals at once and put one in the fridge for the next day if i know I'm working late or whatever so there won't be a temptation to just get a take away.
Also allow yourself a treat now and then, don't stick rigidly to always eating good stuff, its a sure fire way to fail. When i first started eating a paleo diet i found the lack of bread really rough so I allow myself a few slices of toast or a slice of cake or something once or twice a week so I'm less inclined to cheat. The fact steak, chicken and salmon are regularly on the menu for me now means I now don't really miss crisps and coke.

Cheers PB, I generally go and buy food on the day rather than planning, best get into that habit.

Plus, consider eliminating all meat from your diet - that's red meat, white meat, pork, bacon etc.
Substitute oily fish, salmon, herring mackeral etc.
When shopping, 'let your eye linger over the deep vibrant colours' and choose them, be it fruit or veg, though veg is best.
Garnish all your food with deep green toppings, such as parsley, basil, watercress.
Add plenty of the onion family, white, green red and, of course, garlic!
Plus loads of mushrooms.
DO NOT eat bananas, unless they are organic.

I can recommend those Tesco burgers. They're a runaway success. Get some now as they won't be around furlong.

The whole "dieting fad" industry is founded on people's ignorance and self confidence issues. A load of bollocks most of it, IMO.
