Hello MFP!
I've just joined last week, I really need to sort out my diet and exercise routine.. I'd love to hear from anyone who has any tips, advice or just fancies a chat.

I'm Lauren, I'm a student (biological science) from England. I'm a snowboarding instructor & training as a horse riding instructor, so if you have any questions about either of those, ask away!
I'm just getting into yoga, running and, weirdly, sword-fighting in attempt to tone up and generally improve my fitness, but I'm a total novice at the moment.

Having tracked my diet over the past few days, it looks like I'm having way too much fat and sugar, does anyone have any tips to help me cut down?

Thanks, look forward to hearing from you all soon

Lauren

    Try to stick to the no white eating plan which means no sugar, white flour or white rice. Also try to eat nothing but whole grains. The first ingredient you should look for is whole grain or whole wheat. If it says "enriched", you should stay away from it. All of the bad stuff in refined carbs makes your body crave other bad foods. I've found that by eating lots of fruits, vegetables, lean protein and whole grains, my body doesn't crave the fat and sugar it once did.
