Can anyone point me in the right direction? Being young and having an extremely high metabolism I never bothered to keep track of my diet. I have no concept of what types of foods contain what or how they affect the human body. Now that I have started riding I'm beginning to really feel that quarter pounder w/ cheese I had for lunch. Does anyone have a good link or two for me to start researching?

Thanks

Best diet?

How longs a piece of string!

My favorite reference is http://www.westonaprice.org and its based on ancient and traditional food cultures.

I find magazines such as Runner's World and Prevention to be very helpful. Go to a bookstore and spend a Saturday afternoon in the diet / exercise aisle and just peruse books. Mainly books on training programs (triathlons, marathons, etc) are helpful -- they always have a chapter or so on diet.

Anthony:
Good link. Reading it right now. I'm not worried about the best diet. I just need A DIET.

Sandy:
Will do.

A good diet without burning your microwave and buying illegal raw milk like the previous link can be found at http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/index.html

Actualy burning your microwave oven, or using it for target practice isn't such a bad idea. I gave mine away but suffered from guilt from doing so. Ever see Lenny Henry in his comedy called Chef. They had an episode where he refered to the "cheese police". It cracked me up big time.
