Dina Lindquist

@NutritiousFeast

The world of nutrition can be a confusing one, so add an expert dietician to your Twitter feed to guide you through. Dina knows her stuff, and scours the internet for the latest healthy food stories so you don’t have to. She also knows a thing or two herself, and will have you eating healthier in no time.

Fitness Motivator

@Fit_Motivator

We’re a big believer in the power of inspirational quotes when it comes to boosting your health and fitness progress. Fitness Motivator tweets a motivational healthy quote every hour or so, and goes way beyond the clichéd quotes you’ll have seen a million times before. With gems like ‘train like your stronger fitter evil twin is plotting to kill you’, how can you not follow?

Fitness Motivation Pics

@FlTNESSpics

If the inspirational quotes don’t do it for you, it’s time to add a bit of visual stimulation to your feed. There’s nothing quite like a rock hard set of abs or perfectly toned pair of legs to get you off your butt and into exercise mode. Fitness Motivation Pics posts inspirational fitness pictures that will have you setting new goals and getting in shape in no time.

As well as exercise tips, Tony is a firm believer in beating food addictions, and will make you feel extremely guilty about that cupcake you sneakily had last night.

Marion Nestle

Marion Nestle (nothing to do with the snack company thankfully) is the head professor of Nutrition and Food Studies at New York University, so following her is like getting free 140 character-long expert lectures every day! Her years of experience in the industry mean Marion knows more than we thought possible about healthy eating, and she’s happy to share that knowledge with her followers every day.
