Dieting and Exercise at age 28

Hello

I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on this? I've just started researching it myself but for a number of reasons I've decided this year to start exercising more and watch my diet more. I've been so careless with my diet since I left high school. Now I'm noticing a number of health problems and I can't help but wonder if it's diet-related?

I guess all I'm really asking for is to be pointed in the right direction with my research? I've already set aside time to exercise and I'm trying to watch my diet. I'll be honest though, I really haven't been eating all that healthily. I'm seeing a doctor for a physical next week Tuesday.

I'm male, 6'1" and 150lbs

Thanks :)

I definitely think poor health is related to a poor diet. That's what the field of dietetics is for: to help people to regain their health, through choosing the proper foods.

I've seen a few dietiticians in the past -- you may find them helpful. Gl !!

If your question is, "is it diet related " that's very generalized question. BUT, I feel very strongly about our diets effecting our health. The saying "you are what you eat" has much truth to it. You can think you are even eating fairly healthy but then find out you really are not.
My advice: A) read up on non government and industry self promoted gmo studies. Organic Consumers Association or similar may be good place to start. B) read labels, you 'll be amazed at how many cancer causing agents are listed and how many strange looking ingredients that you've never heard of, are added. C) realize cheeseburgers are not health food. Lol meaning, if you east a lot of fast food, cut it out NOW!
E) Pay attention to how you feel after eating. Your body will tell you what's working for you and what's not.
