Hi ! I am a 26 year old man and have been thin all my life. Currently I'm 5'10, 128lbs. Its getting to the point now where I'm also unhealthy as I don't feel I eat right and I barely get to exercise. I seem to be getting sick and at the doctor at least once a month - at this rate I fear my future health is going to be quite a mess. Can someone please help me with a little bit of guidance?
Exercise - I need a daily or bi-daily routine that isn't extremely time consuming. Something to help me look healthier and more importantly, get stronger. I feel right now if someone were to jump me, I probably wouldn't stand a chance at fighting back (not that I think someone is after me haha but every person should be able to defend themselves should they ever need to). Anything requiring simple weights might be best but I should also mention I have access to a Bowflex Elite machine. I can't really afford a gym membership so that machine might be my best bet if things like sit ups and push ups won't suffice.
Diet - Right now my diet is TER-I-BLE. Its not that I can't afford to buy food, I just think I buy the wrong KINDS of food and also don't know how to prepare them. I need to know what to buy and how much of it/when I should be eating what and all that. I also should mention that I'm hypoglycemic and I don't eat well enough to take care of that. But as I understand it, hypoglycemics are supposed to have diets that are high in protein and eat every 3 hours, so maybe that's a blessing in this situation.
If anyone can offer any advice, websites for building routines or diets I'd REALLY appreciate it. This is a last ditch effort on getting myself into better shape. I'm getting depressed and frustrated hearing from everyone (including my girlfriend) that I'm "So skinny" or how I'd be easily beaten up in any situation. I really don't know where else to turn. Please help! : (
