How to lose weight at 13 years old? -

I am 13 years old and i am a cheerleader. Cheer season is over until fall and i want to get back in shape before august. I am about to hit 125 pounds and that s not good. I feel like a whale compared to my friends and its just better for me to lose like 15-20 lbs. What excercises should i do and what kind of diet should i have?

Diet + Exercise = Weight loss! :)It may help with the diet part to avoid foods high in sugar and carbs. These foods will make you continue to feel hungry throughout the day. Try to eat more vegetables and proteins. Also, high fiber foods will keep you feeling you much longer. Cut back on the daily calories by about 500 calories per day. A 1200-calorie diet each day should help bring results. Counting calories will help. DRINK LOTS OF WATER!!As for the exercise part... Cardio will help burn fat. And weight lifting will help build muscle which naturally burns more calories than fat. Make sure that you always changes up your exercises and include a wide variety of activities!!!! If you continue to do the exact same exercises repeatedly for extended periods of time, then your body will adjust to the work and it will cease to be affective!!!! Follow those simple rules and you should lose some weight in no time.Ps. Here s another tip: Try to eat the largest meal early in the day, then cut back at each meal throughout the day. People s metabolisms are fastest early in the day and as the day goes on, they slow down. Therefore, the last meal should be the smallest. ALSO spicy foods speed up metabolisms!!!!! :)

you should consult your doctor to get a safe diet and exercise plan that is designed for you.as a general answer to anyone trying to lose weight:exercise; try jogging around your neighbourhood, play sports with friends, etceat right: eat lots of fruits and dark green veggies, drink water instead of sugary juices and pops, and cut back on processed food
