Hello Everyone!

I'm new to the community and am in desperate need of your help... :'(

I really need to make this change, but I have absolutely no idea how to go about doing it...

I am completely changing my way of eating...but i'm not sure if i'm even going about it right.

What should I eat?
What should I not eat?

How often should I eat?

I am literally a toddler when it comes to all of these things...

Can someone hold my hand and show me the way?

Haha. :D

Anyways, i'd just really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or diet plans.

Good Luck everyone!! :D

    Step 1: Go to the Goals link on this website
    Step 2: Set your calorie and macro goals
    Step 3: Learn how to read the nutrition labels on foods - you are primarily interested in carbs, protein, fats, sodium and sugars
    Step 4: Meet your calorie and macros goals daily- no excuses
    Step 5: You wanna eat more than what MFP gives you? Get to the gym and earn the extra calories. If not, well too bad!

    Start by reading this:http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/819925-the-basics-don-t-complicate-it
    What you need to do is find a way to create a sustainable calorie deficit. Ideally, this should be through a combination of eating less and exercising more. In your profile, it says you enjoy swimming. That is an excellent way to start. Good luck!

    To add to this - eat lots whole food - veggies, fruit, meats, etc - but include things that you like. You don't have to deprive yourself, you need to learn to balance.
