i m 14 and i m finally trying to stick to my diet plan, but i made it myself, and i need some tips advice on the best ways to loose weight.my diet plan is pretty much this:- only one can of pop every other day- fast food only once a week- cut down on snacks- drink juice, water, and tea- be careful on carbs [like pizza, bagels, etc]- do at least 50-100 crunches every day or twice a dayright now i drink about 2 cans of pop a day, and eat fast food almost everyday, and i really want to be a size 1/3 by next fall, right now im about:size: 5/7weight: 134-140-ishheight: 5 5 shirt size: mediumhoodie size: largei want to lose at least 5-10 lbs by summerthen by summer time i will start exersizing more and keep eating that way stuff. and then i ll aim to lose 10-15 more lbs.do you think that diet plan will work okay? what are some other tips that will help me lose more weight or lose weight easier. i also really hate my stomach and want that to be flat.and i know, everyone on yahoo answers says your body is perfect, dont lose weight PLEASE PLEASE DONT TELL ME THAT!! i m also going to try to eat more fruit and drink alot of water, but its hard for me to not eat late, like past 7 p.m for example, because im always hungry at night, and the only time i can eat fresh fruit is at my grandmas house on weekends, because my mom wont buy it!!
i would suggest to cut out soda and fast food completely until you reach your goal weight.and instead of doing crunches (which don t really work) you should do 30-40mins of cardio like running/jogging/walking. count your calories every single day. you should consume between 1200-1400 cals a day. and try hard not to eat after 7pm. you dont want food sitting in your stomach while your sleeping. and you are very lucky to be only 14 and have a fast metabolism because if you were 19/20 and eating and drinking the way you do now you d probably be 20 lbs heavier.watch what you eat girl!
Do more cardio. Crunches are good, but cardio is going to make you lose fat much better. Go jogging, play a sport, or do a workout video. I have an elliptical at my house and I go to the gym, but when I need some variation in my workout routine I do a Denise Austin workout video. She has great ones!
Dieting is not easy. If it were, we would probably all be thin. Since we are not,here are some tips that successful people use to lose weight so that others can benefit, too. Check out http://use-weightloss.blogspot.com/ for all info regarding weight loss.
sounds very sensible to me , but don t lose go under 125 pounds( this is the minimum you should be, but sounds very inspiring and not obsessive and unrealistic ...( i might do the same)x
u can exercise more...i love sport like basketball....love it
My personal opinion is that by combining exercising and healthy eating, it is very likely that you will lose weight. Eat more fruits and vegetables, drink lots of water and eat balanced meals. Try to eat your meals 5-6 times a day but cut down the portion and of course, eat healthily. This can help you to keep your metabolism going, and you will not feel hungry easily. If you feel a need to snack at night, maybe you can go for low fat yogurt, or just a cup of low fat milk? Try not to eat too much at night if it is possible.Next, exercising is very important for you lose weight successfully. Choose something you like to do whether it is swimming or dancing, etc. When you do something you like, you will not give up so easily. If you are lazy, you can just take some walks for 20 minutes a day or do some intensive household chores for your parents. You can workout and keep your house clean and nice at the same time! Look out for more weight loss tips at my source if you think what I recommended to you isn t enough. Good luck.
Sounds like you are doing some good things to cut back. That is good. You probably don t need to lose as much weight as you think. It is all about how you look and feel not your body weight. As you have probably heard...muscle weighs more than fat. First of all you can t go wrong by cutting down on the pop. Eventually cutting it out except for special occasions or say once a week with your cheat meal would be great. You should stick with eating the things you love that may not be so healthy once a week. Otherwise your dieting will get old quick and you will give up. I m not going to say you need a st rick diet because you are young and it sounds like your not in as bad of shape as you think. But it is always good to try to eat healthier. Surprisingly as it may seem eating 4-6 small meals (about half the size of a regular meal) consisting of healthy foods will speed your metabolism and cause you to lose body fat. Don t worry about the not eating after 7 thing. Just go with don t eat 3 hrs before bed. If you could do the 4-6 meal plan which means you eat every 2-3hrs you wouldn t be hungry at night. Those meals could be a healthy snack such as yogurt and a granola bar or an apple with peanutbutter. I think the low to moderate carb thing is good. Don t try the no carb. If you want something with alot of carbs in it just eat it early in the day so your body has time to burn the carbs as energy. Hopefully these tips help. In my opinion... from what it sounds like to me you could achieve your goals by just adding 20minutes of cardio 3 times a week. I would suggest circuit training. A speed up slow down technique. Say you want to run... Run as fast as you can until you have to stop and catch your breath. Then walk until you are breathing normal and start running again. Repeat this for 20 min. If you can t do that much work your way up to it. Adding weight training 3 days a week will intensify this. If your not into exercise your diet may help you. It will just take longer. The crunches are a great addition. They are great for posture and will tone the muscles underneath but they will not burn much body fat. They will make your abdominal muscles tend to suck in to where you will appear thinner though. One time everyother day is enough for abs. You can go everyday but you should only do them once. If you do them right you won t feel like doing them everyday...lol If you have any questions feel free to email me. I just like to help people out. I have a daughter a few years older than you so I wouldn t steer you wrong. Good luck you shouldn t have a problem losing the weight.
Okayyy, To admit its not so much of a good plan, change it more to this ;1) Try not drinking pop. Drink Lots of water 5-8 Glasses. If you get bored of water, go Drink some pure juice. Pop Has Empty calories, Its something you want to avoid xD2) QUIT THE FASTFOOD. yes yes its really good, but try not to think about it. Go Get salad, or sushi, or Even chinese. Kick those burgures away from your head, cause they just add on to calories. I Watched super size me and i never look at mcdonalds i use to when i was a kid.I am a huge fan of icecaps, which arnt so good for you, but once a month i buy a small one made with milk giving it 180 calories. :P3) Forget the mars, Trix, Oh Henry and hershy chocolate bars. I Eat kelloges Bars, Only 90 calories per bar. Dont eat any chocolate such as reese or hershy, cause they all range between 280-330 calories, and those are low in protein and high in fat, sugur and sodium. 4) DRINK GREENTEA! It boosts up your metobolisim, meaning it digusts your food much faster. :) 5) Eat pizza maybe once a month, and get a veggie pizza with whole grain crust. It may have more calories, but thats because it has LOADS of proteins to keep you going for the day.6) Dont overdue exersicing, remeber you can gain alot of muscle, making you look a bit more overweight. Pilatates Are the best thing to do. They tone your body, giving you more of a slim look. Also get on the bike once a week for 20-30 mins, and Do some crunches like you are today. :) This helped me alot over the year, and i went from 130 to 120 pounds.Do not stress this over, just eat healthy, drink lots of water, lay off fast food and exercise and you will be your dream weight in no time
you dont need to starve or deprive yourself. for a workable diet here is what my dietician suggests . follow a practical diet. start your meal with a soup or a huge salad. this fills u up. Make sure your plate has this ratio - 50 per cent veg, 25 per cent carb.remember potatoes, corn and peas come in carbs category, 25 per cent protein.this will prevent cravings too.have a protein shake if you like too.an occassional treat is OK. have a snack every three hours. fruit ideally berries, or soy nuts. just 2 tbsp of soya subsides hunger pangs. switch from white rice and bread to brown. eat 900gms of veggies a day.Lose a kilo a week. that is permanent loss. pick an exercise regime you like. get a pedometer and try to take 10,000 steps everyday.

My wife has tried all sorts to lose weight but nothing has worked just as good as the wu yi tea that she drinks, it s been covered on CNN and Fox News. She shed 9 pounds in three weeks. She buys it from a contact at work but I discovered this site in Google; www.Wu-YiNow.com - they have a free trial on at the moment, maybe they re worth a try?
You need to talk to your mum and tell her how you feel about wanting to eat a healthier diet and lose weight. Try doing a bit of research on healthy eating to persuade her it s a good thing and hopefully you will then have more support and more healthy snacks available.You are actually a healthy weight but if you eat junk food every day then maybe you are suposed to be naturally lighter. What you are doing to cut down at the moment it good and will improve the way you feel and give you more energy.Try to do more exercise and continue the great work but don t become obsessed with weighing yourself or anything like that and don t ever go lower then you re original weight goal of 5-10lbs. Good luck!
You re diet plan is fine. But definitely do not eat fast food and don t eat food late. Cutting down your crabs is fine.try to get your mom to buy fruit. It s a good snack and filled with vitamin, minerals and all that good stuff. I m happy that you re putting in more physical activity, but go easy at first if you re not always active. I see that your goal is 50-100 crunches a day. If you re lazy (like me) try 10 or 15 crunches one week, then next week add 5 more crunches, and the next week 5 more crunches until you get at 50. Any physical activity helps to burn fat, and I m told it releaves stress and stuff, so go for it. But try to chose a physical activity you like. I like DDR, so I play DDR. It s probably not good for my eyes, but hey, I m having fun... Or go walking (but you ll have to walk about an hour before you start to lose fat. sorry. Unless you re vigorously walking.) You can exercise with a friend (but make sure you guys won t be talking about stuff instead of exercising.) Be careful when you re checking your weight RIGHT after you exercise. Cuz you could have just lost water weight instead of fat weight.I m told that more aerobic exercise burns fat faster. I m not sure. But don t panic if you re not burning as much fat as you think you should. Girls lose weight slower than men (it s true. SO UNFAIR.)The ugly thing about going on a diet is that not something that you put on like clothes and take it off when you re done with it, it s a lifestyle that you adopt. So you re going to have to make sure that you LIKE your diet or you ll be more tempted to get off it. Choose healthy foods that you like, and like i said before, choose exercise that you like. Just a little tidbit: You re ideal body weight is 125 pounds. If you re about five pounds around there you re fine, maybe even ten pounds around there, I m not entirely sure.You can ask me later how I figured that out, it s easy, but I think this answer s getting too long, so I ll stop here.
