How do I start bodybuilding and what should I eat?

I am 25 and overweight. I have decided I have to get in shape. I'm not after a quick fix, rather a healthy long life. What foods do I need and how do I start bodybuilding? Any books/websites to get me started will be great.

4. I ain't no fitness expert, but here is how you should eat: Plenty of whole grains, lots and lots of fruits and veggies, eat healthy proteins like chicken, pork, turkey, and FISH (fish is very very good for you). You can have beef every once in a while cause its got good stuff too, but try to buy lean beef. Use oils such as olive or safflower in your cooking instead of butter. Cut out fast food; always try to do your own cooking so that you can limit the amount of fat and salt. Eat dairy products too. Try going to the food pyramid website...I think nowadays you can customize it to your needs. Exercise-wise, if you wanna lose weight, you should start doing cardio (running, swimming, biking, etc.) Swimming is supposedly really good for you because its low impact and you work your whole body, but it takes longer to get the same workout as running. If you wanna build some muscle, lifts some weights. If you are serious about actually becoming a bodybuilder, I can't help you there, but I'm sure someone else might answer you regarding that. Good luck!
5. lots of weight lifting and eat alot of protein
6. hi , you should start buy joining a power lifting club , for the first year of your training power lifting deals with 3 main lifts bench press , dead lift and squats once you can lift big in these you can move on to shaping . also joining a club means you get advice and Support from the other members there, and a spotter . A spotter is some one who will help out with your last reps so you can lift heaver with out the fear of dropping the weigh on your self . most body builders start with power lifting to get size in there mussels and strength once you get strong start to get ripped by doing 70% of your max lift for 10reps so say you can do 1 rep of 100kg to get riped you need to do 10reps of 70kgs and do 2-3 sets also if your over weight you'll need to do some cardio , fast way is to warm up a bit then sprint for 30sec walk for 20sec and repeat 10 times but 80% of the work you need to do is what you eat eat lots of lean protein chicken , eggs fish whey protein . and only eat complex carbs fruit and nuts too have some protein 30mins before a work out and some with in 1hour after this means it will repair the mussle quickly if your looking for a great website try men fitness or google hugh jackman workout for x-men origins good luck
