It's all about forming a healthy lifestyle man. You need to make working out and eating healthy a part of your everyday routine. I'm at a point in my life where I feel like missing the gym is like missing a meal. Start off slow.....3 days a week in the gym....run a mile to warm yourself up good and then lift weights for 45 min to an hour. If you feel you need more cardio than that, increase it to 20-30 min a day regardless of distance. Switch it up with running, biking, elliptical machine, etc.
Keep a clean diet.....stay away from fast food. Try to eat lean meats like chicken, fish, and red meat that doesn't have fat on it. Don't bother with pork as it has no real nutritional value. Potatos are good as well as brown rice for carbs. Pasta and bread in moderation......they won't kill you. Fruits and veggies are a major plus....if not, get a good multi vitamin. Personally I'm a soda fiend but over the last 2 years I've forced myself to drink water all day until dinner. Dinner I'll have soda to treat myself. Stay away from candy, chips, etc.....find something healthy like trail mix.
Remember.....it's a lifestyle, not something you do on and off.
