Links and Resources
Sometimes its nice to get everything in one place so this page is designed to give:
- Recommended reading lists for the ITEC Diet and Nutrition Diploma course (they are the ones I have found useful, not necessarily those recommended by ITEC)
- Useful websites to help you with your studies of Diet and Nutrition, there are millions out there but these are my favourites
- Links to training schools, good therapists and some other bits and pieces!
I hope you find it useful
