She is built like a swimmer and is really good and im good too its just that i think i could be better if i had a diet to help me have more energy and lose my extra weight so that i would be faster. Any suggestions welcome. ;)

Answer 1

Eat more than you usually have...

*you burn calories better and faster now so you can and should so you can have more energy!!

Eat more carbs and protien...

*you need to build up your muscles if you want to get better and eating more carbs and protien will help a lot!!

Make sure you HAVE the perfect diet for you...

*everyone needs a different amount of food and so do you try this site and you'll get a food pyramid that's made just for you!

* but you should also see a doctor/nutrishtionist to make sure this is the best meal plan for you.

Good luck swimming!
