Weight loss tips for teens? -

I m 13, 5 5 and 130 pounds, but everyone keeps telling me i need tolose weight. I wanted to know what i can do (other than situps) to losesome weight at a good rate. Are there any foods you can recommendthat are sweet? Because i ve never been able to eat vegetables......soanything like slim fast or south beach diet? Thanks =]

If you want to be able to lose weight and keep it off then you need to exercise. Your brain has a hypothalamic lipostat and exercise helps to set this lower. Therefore, your body will naturally store less fat.

I hate to break it to you, but the healthiest and most efficient way to lose weight is to bag the sweet stuff and eat the fruits and vegetables. Start with some that you do like and work from there. Slim fast is fine, same with those other diet supplements...however, being healthy is way more important that being thin (or at least it should be). As far as exercise goes--sit ups don t make you lose weight, they just tone your mid-section--running, swimming, cycling, etc. for about 30-60 minutes a day will be just fine. To burn fat, you want to keep your heart rate between 140-150 and to burn sugar you want to keep it around 160-180 (all depending on your age, muscle mass, etc.) I hope that helped! Good luck! :)

You are not fat or much over weight first of all. I am 5 3 and 120 and you would not think I was overweight if you saw me. You are fine adn if you still think you are too big you ll probably thin out as you get more in your teens you re only 13. But, the thing you should do is to maintain your current weight. Just take the stairs, take the long way to wherever you are going, have a smaller serving size at meals, there s plenty of little simple things you can do.

I have an ABSOLUTLY brilliant diet for you, it works every time. It means you can eat sweet things too. Eat a bowl of Shredded wheat for your breakfast and then again for your dinner but with a banana or apple, for your tea eat a high protein meal which will keep you fuller for longer, chicken and beans and some salad on the side but NO salad cream. Only drink water and coke zero and in a couple of weeks pounds will drop off! Come up with inventive meals for tea because you need choice like pasta but with no mozerella. Good luck with this new diet i promise it will work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
