If you want to lose weight, you need to two things: eat less and exercise more. Weight gain happens when you create a calorie surplus (eat more than you burn). Your body takes the excess calories and converts them to fat which get stored around your stomach, arms and thighs. The longer you remain in a calorie surplus, the more weight you ll gain. To lose that weight, you need to do the opposite. You need to create a calorie deficit (start eating less than you burn). Your first step is to figure out how many calories you burn on a daily basis. This calculator will help you out http://calorieneedscalculator.com The number you get from this tool is what your body burns on a daily basis. To lose weight, simply eat less. It sounds a lot easier than it is but making small changes helps you adjust to a new lifestyle. Don t think of this as a diet, think of it as a new life. Instead of eating foods high in sugars, white flour and saturated fat, go with fruits, vegetables, whole wheats, fish, lean meats, nuts and beans. In addition to eating less, you also need to exercise more. Start off at 1-2 times per week and work your way up to 3-5 times per week.Don t make all of these changes at once or you won t be able to properly adjust to them. Generally, eating healthier foods will decrease your calorie intake. Compare a doughnut to an apple and you ll see that healthy foods are lower in calories.

Just don t snack a lot. Your parents must have veggies or fruits around the house. Eat fruit for breakfast, try to bring something from home to eat for lunch. School lunches usually are planned to be fairly healthy. They must have salad of some kind. Eat that, with low fat dressing or no dressing. Simply you just have to attempt to eat under 2000 calories a day. Don t drink sugary drinks like soda, and if you must, drink diet. Try to drink lots and lots of water throughout the day, as this will stop you from feeling hungry. I lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks by only eating when I was hungry, eating healthy, and drinking nothing but water.
Spend your pocket money on fruit and veg?, why on earth would your parents, refuse to buy anything healthy?. It need not be expensive, just small portions of healthy things for their child who is concerned about his health? I would have a more in depth conversation with them. You could eat the sandwich at school everyday if you want, just add things like bananas to keep you full and energised.
The truth is it you dont gotta eat healthy. I mean yyou can like have a double Cheeseburger or a steak like once a week but dont have it every day.Your body needs those fats and other nutrients to function properly.Even eating veggies all day cant be good for you.as i say a little too much of one this is too much .Just work out excersice and jog/run/walk the track 2--3 times a day.Try to go to www.foodpyramid.gov and see what it says.Folow those food servings.Good Luck!
a little exercise, and no healthy food?losing weight will be hard, just eat less of what ur parents buyand go jogging, alot of jogging. Lots of cardio will help u shed the poundskinda messed up that ur parents arent supportive*** cutting back on fat wont help u lose weight. Althoug some fats are bad for u ( avoid trans ans limit saturated) your body needs some fats, and they actually can help u lose weight ans stay healthy. *You need to avoid anything with sugar in it and limit simple carbs and calories.
Eat the closest thing to healthy. Up the exercise. Walking 30 minutes a day or more will help big time. Carry a back pack with book to add weight and burn calories. Do push-ups, 3 sets 25 reps. Build up to it, then add more. Your body needs fuel to burn, the trick is to only eat what your body needs, and little more.
jusst save up money and buy ur own food thats healthy. That s what I do. I keep all the healthy food in my room since i am the only on in the family that doesn t fill my body with junk lol.
its really important for you to control your portions. Watch the grams of fat your taking in. anything 8 grams and under a serving is good.
go to a gym and exercise or if you have no good food eat the food right like it breakfast lunch dinner and one snack a day
Then try to exercise some more and then eat the sandwich at school.
I can t belive your parents refuse to buy you anything healthy... my parents refuse to buy me anything UNhealthy!! Anyway, you could try speaking to them about how you feel, and tell them that you want to eat more healthily. I m sure they wouldn t mind buying a few healthy things?It isn t a good idea to eat the same thing for lunch every day although the low fat sandwich would be a good thing to eat 3 days a week at the most. Here are some tips for you:As I am sure you know already, cut down on all fatty foods, drink 8 glasses of water per day, eat 5 fruit/veg per day and choose low fat options.You could try joining a club such as weight watchers as this will give you lots of diet plans and help you to stay motivated.Exercise :You should exercise for a full twenty minutes at a time, five days per week to stay at a healthy weight.Remember, don t over-do it and certainly don t try to lose weight too quickly. The more quickly you do it, the more quickly you put it back on. Also, it s not good for you to just suddenly start exercising vigorously. Do it slowly and that way you will be able to keep it up and not put the weight back on.The best exercise for burning calories is cardio-aerobic. Jogging, cycling, power-walking, swimming, aerobic dancing or general aerobic workouts. However, strength-training is also important to increase muscle-fat ratio.Exercise does burn calories but it takes a while to lose 1 pound of weight! However, exercise is essential to maintain weight loss and maintain your body at peak efficiency.Thought you might find this useful:Type of Exercise - Calories/hour Sleeping 55 Eating 85 Sewing 85 Knitting 85 Sitting 85 Standing 100 Driving 110 Office Work 140 Housework, moderate 160+ Golf, with trolley 180 Golf, without trolley 240 Gardening, planting 250 Dancing, ballroom 260 Walking, 3mph 280 Table Tennis 290 Gardening, hoeing etc. 350 Tennis 350+ Water Aerobics 400 Skating/blading 420+ Dancing, aerobic 420+ Aerobics 450+ Bicycling, moderate 450+ Jogging, 5mph 500 Gardening, digging 500 Swimming, active 500+ Cross country ski machine 500+ Hiking 500+ Step Aerobics 550+ Rowing 550+ Power Walking 600+ Cycling, studio 650 Squash 650+ Skipping with rope 700+ Running 700+
