Here is what you need to do if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Lose weight) and you will have more energry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads) in one and protein (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have any or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross country skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension) (YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. So your body doesnt go into starvation mode, YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF.If you stick with this you will have a great body. also drink a least 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonalds, Wendys, etc because there is nothing good for you on the menus - even the salads are bad (bacon bits, cheese, dressing, etc) Good Luck :)
You may want to switch birth control, the newer formulas are shown to not cause weight gain. Talk to your doctor about putting you on something else, or ruling out any other problems that might cause you to gain weight.The best way to combat weight loss is with lifestyle. Change your diet, and get some exercise 4-6 times a week. Life is busy stressful at 16, and it is really easy to get into bad habits! Try to eat things that are natural, and avoid as many processed foods as possible. Eat lots of veggies, and drink lots of water!You can check out a program such as weight watchers, or see your doctor, or even speak with someone at your school (a health or fitness teacher maybe?)
A 16-year-old and birth control s long-term effects has not been tested by the medical community.Birth control drugs deplete s your vitamin B-6 mostly, as well as other vitamins. Take a pregnancy vitamin every other day, according to my pharmacist, who should know, and who does this, and he s a 60-year-old man.(He needs to be alert to dispense drugs to people). Vitamin B-6 will get rid of some of the water retention, so replenish your body with under 25 mg. per day, taken in the morning, along with a low-dose B-Complex tablet, with O.J.Cut out any more than a domino-size serving of cheese, (the serving size of cheese) per day- as it has sodium. (If you need a good breast-building diet, add cottage cheese and avocado- good fats for a young girl s body). Hot dogs, sausage on pizza etc.-TV dinners, restaurant soups and Campbell s and prepared food have lots of sodium- keep each serving to under 500 mg.- daily allowance is 3,000 mg.Learn to home-cook your meals and add salt to taste, after dishing it up- 8 shakes is a dash- start with that, or use DASH. Water washes out the edema-causing fluids that accumulate in tissues, as they are two different fluids, and water does this. Take hot water drinks before meals to curb your appetite, and a glass of non-calorie liquid, preferably water in between and when exercizing, drink more or on hot days. Walk off your dinner. A Two-mile walk every day will keep the weight off. Park your car 3 blocks away from a store or destination. Exercise in spurts, at least, every day.Losing more than 2 pounds a week is an unhealthy amount. As a nurse assistant, we must report a patient s weight loss (or gain) if over 4 pounds in one week, as it is not good at all.I went on Pill at 18 for irregular, painful periods. It made my PMS take-off! ouch! I now know these problems I had were from no rest, unrelenting stress thus PMS, and not taking protein snacks in between meals (which is proven to straighten out all aspects of periods- length, amount, pain, and surrounding symptoms, with exercize added) as well as the Pill adding additional problems to it. I had no fat on body- thus not enough hormone-production to even-out and make me have OK periods. I was very skinny from years of neglect from parents, being 80 pounds at 5 6 tall- and felt better during college, where I wasn t restricted in meals and harassed.It took me 8 months to conceive, and I d been married four years from age 19- too skinny.Sometimes you can t minimize the stress, but try.Young girls of 15 are supposed to have baby fat -literally, this fat makes her have a good hormone production for her body to sustain a healthy pregnancy at say, age 25 or so- to have a healthy baby, too. And also, in order to not have the pregnancy deplete her body during this time, she needs to have adequate calcium and the like. At least Three months of preparation for baby-making, of good eating and vitamins before getting pregnant are a must. The weight should preferably not be from edema caused by a birth control pill, in other-words. So tell your doctor to refer you to a nutritionist. It has helped me very much.
For exercise, if you want to do something outside, start out with walking at a good pace. Then go to speed walking, jogging, running and sprinting. Try to do this every day, but work your way up, so don t overwork yourself. Don t eat any sweets or snacks during the week. Just save them for the weekend. That doesn t mean go crazy, but you can have just enough to satisfy your cravings.

It is completely normal to gain weight while on birth control. Drinking orange juice will help you lose weight, drinking 24 oz. of milk with 24 hrs. help too. Also depended on the type of bread you eat can actually make you increase your weight. Whole grain bread and Pita bread are the healthiest. Also what body type are you? That can help you out in creating a work out routine that will work for your specific body type. Seeing that you re only 16 years old, you don t want to over due it and lose a lot of weight because you re still growing and your body needs important nutrients to grow and have healthy brain development. Your doctor should help you with this and develop some kind of diet for your own specific needs. Don t try over the counter weight lose pills, every one has a different body type and specific needs, that s why they don t really work for every one.

Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/ca�� This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.Beginners Guide to Dieting - http://straighthealth.com/pages/guides/b��
exercise 30 min most days (could be as simple as going for a walk), eat whole grains fruits veggies, lay off on simple carbs (sugar, white flour products)make sure you eat enough calories! too few will slow your metabolism halt your weight loss.try the South Beach diet, created by a cardiologist. has a lot of yummy recipes.
