Nutrionalist - Advice please

I realise that I am better when I stick to a plan and have goals. With one 3 year old tearing about the house and another on its way, as a self-confessed foodie, I do find it hard not to be good with my food.

Does anyone have any recommendations, especially around the Essex area on someone that I could go to that could help create a 4/6/8 week plan for me that I can stick to. I know I have weight to doing the mirror test, but also realise I will never be a mountain goat. I just want to remove the excess so that I find it easier going up the hills when I vist my in-laws in Wales and also hopefully help improve my TT times now that I seem to have got into it.

I'm riding in between 80-120 miles a week depending on TTs mid week, a couple of days of commutes and the length of the weekend run.

Thanks

Here's a free plan. Make a food diary, recording everything you eat for a whole week. Once you've done this, sit down and work out one thing that you really could do without or replace with something better e.g. Extra large creamy coffee at 9am (replace with a smaller, blacker coffee), or Twix at 3pm (get rid or eat an apple), or macaroni cheese for dinner (replace with pasta and a nice light tomato sauce). Do this. Next week, pick out another. And so on. Not only will this make you lose weight, its sustainable because you are changing your habits, rather than sticking to something for a set period then going back to what you used to do.

You cycle from Essex to Wales?.. Should be enough to burn off excess calories IMHO..
