Weight loss tips? -

well i m only 13, but i m a little overweight. i ve eaten pretty healthy my whole life (i eat stuff like salads and chicken, no mcdonalds or any of that. i hate soda, and love water and milk), but i just need to work on quantities. anyone have any basic tips to lose weight? like maybe a way of getting myself to eat less, or encourage me to exercise more.just any basic tips would be cool, cause i really want girls to look at me in a better way at the start of next school year :](also, i m pretty encouraged right now. i ve lost 15 pounds since the middle of june :D. just anything would be helpful.)

1) Drink a glass of water before every meal. It fills you up so you don t over eat. Also drink a glass of cold water every morning - Your body burns calories by cooling down the water to make it useful to your body.2) Eat slowly - It takes your brain 20 minutes to realize you re full, so if you eat fast, you ll overeat.3) Never crash diet. Don t go under 1200 calories a day. It ll slow your metabolism down, and you won t be able to receive all the nutrients you need in a day. And once you do start eating normally again, you ll regain all the weight you lost immediately. Instead, take it slow and steady.4) Don t be a lazy bum. Do jumping jacks while watching TV, run laps around the coffee table - Just try to keep yourself moving. 5) Immediately after eating, pop a piece of cinnamon or mint gum in your mouth so you don t feel the urge to keep picking at your food.6) And don t beat yourself up if you had a bad day! Listen to your body - If you want something, have it! Just always remember to keep it in moderation. But don t deprive yourself, or you won t get ANYWHERE.7) Leave a couple bites left on your plate when eating. You can save calories by not eating every last bite.8) Substitute diet foods for regular foods - Skim milk for whole, low-fat cheese for full-fat cheese, light bread over regular bread, reduced calorie yogurt over regular yogurt, Splenda for sugar, etc.Check out Free Exercise Videos on Youtube
