Hi everyone,
I've been struggling with my health and fitness for a while now and I really want to make a change. However, I don't know where to start. I think that understanding nutrition and fitness would be a good way to begin, so I was wondering if anyone had any book or resource recommendations. I'm interested in learning about healthy eating habits, different types of diets, how to properly exercise, and how to create a fitness plan.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Hey, I'm glad you're interested in learning more about nutrition and fitness. As someone who's been interested in these topics for a while, I'd suggest starting with two classics: "The 4-Hour Body" by Tim Ferriss and "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho.
Tim Ferriss discusses his own journey with diet and exercise, and how he's condensed lots of research and experimentation down into his own system. The Alchemist may seem like an odd choice, but its principles of following your own personal legend have helped keep me committed and motivated in the long term.
Another resource I'd recommend is "Anatomy for Runners" by Jay Dicharry. Even if you're not a runner, the illustrations and explanations of the mechanics of human movement are fascinating and informative.
For healthy eating habits, I like to browse websites like EatingWell and Nutrition Stripped. I've also recently been trying out meal prep services like HelloFresh and Sun Basket, which have been great for small portions and variety.
Good luck on your journey towards health and fitness, and remember to stay consistent and motivated!
