Working your way into shape needs to be approached with a long haul diet. It also needs to include a commitment to a mix of activities and structured exercise programs. It is best to start by recording a food diary and then to look at some small changes that are do-able for you. An Accredited Practicing Dietitian (APD) is a person who is able to review your overall intakes and approaches, before working with you to suggest the options that can help you to eat the what and how of what may be needed.
