Hi,my 13- nearly 14 year old daughter said she wants to loose at least a few pounds before we go on holiday the 16th of august. What good tips and techniques would you give her? thanks a lot.
Instead of just telling her how to loose weight, why don t you make it a mother and daughter bonding session?I don��t know how or you eat, or how physical you are during the day? So why don��t you do easy things if you find it hard to find the time or money. Swimming is fun, and not strenuous on any muscles, and normally fairly cheap, you can go together, after work, or during the day, and it doesn��t just have to be swimming up and down, you can play games, or do an aerobics class as well. Eating healthier could make her feel better from the inside out, which could make her feel she doesn��t have to loose weight. As I said before, I don��t know how you eat, but why don��t you eat some delicious salads? Mix some rocket, baby spinach and watercress (the big leaved ones, the ones you get in a packet) in a bowl, drizzle with a small amount of olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Slice some red onions thinly after cutting in half, throw in some chopped walnuts, and enjoy, add what ever else you want, some feta, or even a poached egg. Don��t forget to season with a little salt ad pepper. Or grill some chicken breast, make a salsa from quartered baby tomatoes, sliced onion, tonnes of chopped parsley, coriander and a little mint. Add some new potatoes, and salad! Add lots of fresh herbs to your food, it makes it taste nicer, and you can add less oil, butter and salt to your food. Also try drinking green tea, it might make her feel more grown up, and it is good for you!Also another great thing to do with a daughter that age and just before going on holiday is pampering. Again if money permits, go on a little shopping splurge, buy some nice holiday clothes that suit her body, and then go to get your hair done, and maybe a manicure and pedicure. If you cant afford to go to a beauty salon for the day, do it at home, soak your feet in some warm scented water, do your toenails together, and your fingernails, let her do yours, and be creative. If you show your daughter that all she needs to do is be comfortable with herself, which normally takes people years to work out, she is beautiful. One other thing, why did your suddenly feel she should loose weight before holiday? After your bonding session, why don��t you ask subtly? Normally these types of things are prompted by friends or school colleagues making little comments, which are normally fuelled from insecurity in themselves. Good luck!
Make sure she has a balanced diet and increases the exercise (swimmimg is good). Replace any snacks with fruit and make sure she doesn t skip meals as this makes your body store more fat as it thinks it s being starved. Don t let her get caught up in this awful weight obsessed time we re having. Life s hard enough!
someone that age should not be worrying about their weight, unless they have aserious problemjust make sure she is kept active and not eating tons of junk
pick one day out of the week to just eat junk food but all the rest of the day eat helthy and try to lay off stuff like sweets candys fats oils and that kinda stuff....just get some of those smart ones in the frozen section....those are good and healthy for youor you can eat more organic stuff....and exercise everydayhope it helped =)
I would go for a half an hour jog in the morning before she eats so that she burns off fat that she hasnt already gained from eating exercise 3 meals a day healthy ones i might add, exercise= shtrtching or yoga is a good way. Other than that i have nothing good luck
Eat healthily with lots of veggies, lean meat and complex carbs and exercise, you will not have problem losing some fats and weight. There are no hunger pangs too.I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and a hour brisk walk 5 times a week, and I have lost 31lbs and gain better health. I am now maintaining my 108lbs for more than a year.Details such as meals, recipes, walking as an exercise and to shape the body etc etc, are in my blogXiaozhen
she should do some more activities daily, and maybe cut out the junk food and replace coke with water, those are just little stuff to lost just a few pounds
i don t know this help or not but u can try....for chinese they believe that breakfast is very important and u need to eat until ur stomach is full. lunch should take in food that is just nice or maybe not too full. while night time try not to take to much food specially oilly. take half amount of the lunch for dinner.if u feel hungry before dinner try to take some biscuit or drink some milk. in malaysia we hav nestum or milo to help us gain energy. dont let her take supper.because it is not good for health too. make sure she hav fix timing for her meal.make sure dinner time is always at 6 to 7 pm. because the food need to be diegest few hours be4 sleeping time.try to ask her go for jogging or for a walk at least 30 min. there is where u start to burn fat. less than 30 min dosent help to burn fat.make sure she wake up early and sleep early too.
