Fruit absolutely fills you to the brim, and it really doesn t have too many calories. You COULD try only eating fruits and veggies and nuts, because really, that s all you need. I m no vegetatrian, but I did that once, (didn t have any meat or dairy for about a month), and lost a ton. Of course, I started eating meat again (couldn t resist!) and gained some back. But keep your metabolism running well, starving only slows that down. So by staying full on fruit and veggies and nuts, you lll eat less because you re full, you ll be healthy, and it ll keep your digestion running smoothly.Good luck!
Hey as for the calorie counting, it is definitely an important part of losing weight. As you stated you need to burn more calories than you intake, therefor you must know the number you ate to burn more. And working out is essential to losing weight, a good workout of about 45 mins a day will work wonders. On the food you eat, doctors say the best way to drop weight is to have 5-6 meals a day. Good foods that work that can fill you is special K cereal. its a healthy alternative for a meal. Hoep any of thius helps. Good Luck!
At 14 you are still growing...without seeing you, I don t know if you are or are not overweight but with that said...Just eat healthy and exercise more than you do now...not 24/7, just a little more.Healthy foods - whole grain bread, tortillas, buns, pasta, rice.fruits, and veggies (watch what you put on them or dunk them in), low fat or no fat dairy - yogurt, milk, cheese. Limit choices you know are not good for you, soda, chips, cookies, etc. You can still go to the movies andf get popcorn, get a small or skip the butter, same with the soda and or candy - but do you need all 3 all the time, probably not.Choose healthier places to eat fast food...Subway is a great one, just watch the dressings and oils/mayo.If you want to look some things up try calorieking.com or MyPyramid.govYou are still growing so if you maintain your weight as you add inches you will slim down.
