I am 15 years old, 225 pounds, i play football for my high school, but we are in off season right now. I weight lift for 45 minutes every Tuesday and Thursday, and run about half a mile in all a day. Any tips on a diet or other exercises to help me out, or any good songs to listen to while running?
Eat natural, simple foods and you ll attain a healthy weight. Calories don t matter, and counting them will lead you to foods you should not have (e.g. diet coke). The average person in China has between 25-40% more calories than the average American every day, and even the sedentary office workers have more calories and less obesity. It s because of the types of foods they eat. If you eat that way, you will lose weight and build muscle.Eat mostly vegetables and simple grains (rice, not pasta and bread so much), mostly organic, mostly local, mostly vegetarian, mostly dairy-free, mostly cooked (not much salad), not much processed foods (snack foods, cookies, crackers), hormone-laden meat (growth hormones are not what you want). Notice I say Mostly to these suggestions because the overriding principles are Balance and Moderation. You should get a little meat (even red) a few times a month. Eat a wide variety of foods. All foods have things that are both good and bad about them. Having too much of any one food will pull you out of balance. Don t eat the same thing everyday or even every week. Balance and moderation are the keys, and you cannot be moderate if you re always doing the same thing. You should exercise every day, but not excessively. It sounds like you have a good regimen, but mix up your exercises.Don t worry about fat, calories, carbs, or any of that. The book, The Asian Diet: simple secrets for eating right, losing weight, and being well explains very simply how we should be eating. Change the way you eat, change the way you live.
You re a football player so my best guess is you eat big meals. If you eat six times a day instead of three you will feed and spead up your metabolism. But six small things. Just over a quarter serving of what you would usually eat, but six times a day. Dont drink soda and eat more salads, fruits, grains, veggies. Water is your best friend. Just remember though, muscle weighs more then fat.
keep food portions small and eat five times a day to keep up with the calories your burning. but the portions being small is key. keep up the good work. your workout is very impressive.
Run more than just half a mile, run about 2 and a half miles, 4-5 times a week. And for losing weight, burn more calories than you eat.
You don t need to worry so much.....you should drink 64oz of water a day.....back off of pop lots of vegetables and fruit and I guess that s it.......other then that its in you control. lay off junk food
follow this diet to keep your muscle gains but lose fat it work for me 7am oat meal10am tuna SandwichLunch boneless skin less chicken brest5pm small saladBefore bed time cerial

...it seems like you are on the right path because your choosing to ask this question so good luck with everythingsummer is definitely around the corner, and i want to helpLet me give you some food and mini work out tips you can add. I m only doing this because you sound motivated and focused...I��m a Vegetarian and I��m super thin, and I always have a lot of protein, and I hate tofu loll ...and I have tons of snacks to choose fromI bareeeely work out ....and I��ve never had a belly, big thighs, or big butt SO Listen k? I m pretty much perfect-its not cocky,i just am...Walk Walk Walk! and walk some more...its actually better than running....running makes your ankles weak over time. Do you want that when your older? I don t think so. I actually do the bike, which is amazing...the faster you petal the more calories you burn....the belly is actually burning fat b/c you are sweating. Not a lot of ppl. know that walking on treadmill/bike/or walking outside burns fat around the mid section...but it is so true. ALSO IMPORTANT: Do not use incline k? b/c your thighs will get bigger...try little to no resistance!! :) Walking also will burn the extra surrounding fat that is covering muscles (underneath it)...so definitely do a lot of carido. Try sit ups too like 2 to 3 times a week to make abs show quicker!Being a vegetarian or even one that eats red meat or dairy like ONCE IN AWHILE is the best to be one because you are healthy as a horse and you won t have that excess fat and food inside your intestines that most red meats do.Look, alright, I��m not trying to promote becoming a vegetarian, but here me out k?Here s what I eat and my protein is perfect and I m super healthy and have tons of snacks to choose fromHaving a high protein diet is good in loosing fat, because the more protein is in a food item the less total fat and calories from fat!I eat lots of beans (Lima, Soy, red kidney, black, navy- RAW; never in can(but that is just my choice-if you wanted canned its NOOOO PROBLEM)Try Quinoa too, you can find it in your grain, beans, or nut aislesI also eat lots of salad with tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, carrots-yum yum!The entire kosher aisle has manyyyy products to munch on!Also, Some Kashi products are great to snack on!Try Edamame too!- tons of protein and tastes delicious! (Veggie section even though it��s a bean loll)Dairy (if you eat it): cheese-I d suggest you go for this yogurt called Fage 0 or Chobani yogurt (it has about 15 grams of protein in it I believe)... Ummm lets see, what else? Theres Goat cheese and ALL goat products which I consider to eat if my protein is too low (but that is rare b/c I usually get my protein in evvveryday. ALL vegetables are fun and easy to cook-I like broccoli, asparagus, yams, pumpkin, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower-and you can do whatever you want with it (fry, boil, steam, baked...etc.)Have you ever heard of Matzo s? they are crackers that have 4 grams of fat per serving (1) and only has 21 grams to 27 grams of Carbs in it depending on which version you get. BUT make sure you get the 100% whole wheat ones ya know?-just to be the healthiest. There is also absolutely no sugar in it either (sugar if not burned turns into fat btw)��.. The calories range from like 90 to 140 calories too! Oh, did I mention they are extremely delicious!? (Kosher aisle)Mott��s applesauce, no added sugar is one of my favorite things to eat too!You can find organic applesauce too which provide different flavors without added sugarAll ��no added sugar�� products are phenomenalNOTE: BEEF, Oh my god -it is very bad for you and does not leave your intestine for months and months (look it up on internet...it��s the worse food for you-unless used in moderation and VERY VERY small portions)Brown rice or even white rice is great tooMiso soups are fantastic as well as any other soups (especially the ones with very little sodium)Fruit is ALWAYS a great snack at night!Ok, that��s all I can think about now off the top of my head, if you need to know anymore then just message me k?Take care(I know I went on a rampage here, but I honestly hope this helps!)xoxoxox
