How can I do a "makeover" to my health habits and lifestyle? (Nutrition, fitness specialists help appreciated)
What I mean, I do feel a little guilty about my bad dietary habits and some other things I’ll mention. If you have any good suggestions and a good background about nutrition, fitness, and/or pyschology, please give me advice: (I’m a 22-year old male)
-My diet: I’m 6ft 1 tall, 78 kgs. Although my weight seems good to my height, but I’m guilty of eating a lot of fast food, chocolate, and soda drinks. I want to know what amounts & types of food should I concentrate on eating? Especially that I want to start working out, and gain abs. (Please notice that I avoid all alcoholic drinks and pork). And is it necessary to completely stop chocolate consumption? (I love this thing!)
-My fitness: I bought a home gym machine that has the following:
-Biceps and triceps exercises, legs , shoulder, chest and back. How often and long sholud I work out? And what is the best exercise for my stomach & gluteal region?
-My sleeping habits: I tend to sleep very late and wake up very late (I sleep at 7 am and wake up at 2-3 pm), which really affected my college life. Although I don’t drink large amounts of caffeine. I used to sleep at 1-2 am, but now I can’t, I think I ruined my biological clock. What things can I do to sleep at a reasonable time, and enjoy a good, deep sleep?
P.S: This started only lately, although I have nothing “psychological” that could cause it.
My mentality: How can I increase the power and pace of my memory? Especially the short-term one?
Go Vegan. You’ll never look back.
Cut out all animal products and sugar.
Get into Fruits and vegetables.
Anybody can do it.
I was a total meat eater 21 years ago. My Father owned a steak shop in Philly, Pa. I eat more cheese steaks than you could shake a stick at.
I knew my health was going down the toilet.
I took a course in Health and Nutrition, but it wasn’t your typical nutrition course, it was all vegetarian.
Get yourself some books and get into it.
That’s the only body you’ll ever have, be good to it.
Hope I helped.
Good Luck.
