Time for a better diet

I've decided I need to make some changes to my diet. I eat too much rubbish and think its time to cut down/out on red meat, packaged meals etc. Does anyone follow any good diets? I don't want to go too 'extreme' as I enjoy food too much, just a little more balanced... any ideas v.welcome!

MS and Diet

Has anyone here tried to go on a dairy-free and gluten-free diet to help improve or alleviate their MS symptoms? I hear so much about MS practically being "cured" when a person gets all dairy and gluten out of their diet. Has anyone tried it and how well did it work?
