How to lose weight? -

OK...........So Im 14 years old and Im 5 8. The ideal wieght you should weigh for that height is 135 or 140, But I weigh 190 pounds. So I need to lose 50 pounds. I want to lose weight but i dont want to get surgery or pills or even buy plans and stuff like weight watchers. Ive tried diets but its hard to not eat the food you love and all the diet food are nasty. So i was wondering if anybody knew how to lose 50 pounds fast but safe. My goal is to lose it by next year.

Hi I am glad to hear that you prefer not to opt for diet pills and surgery which is quite expensive not to mention harmful .So this particular link helped me understand my body type and needs better so here goes,If you are serious about losing weight, the calories in the food you eat should be less than the energy you use. You will have to increase your metabolic rate now, and plan your diet carefully.Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster.

Take your time and loose it slowly. eat healthy foods like lots of fruits, veggies. Drink plenty of water because this will cleanse out your system. Get some daily exercise, even if its only a 20 minute walk each day. You can also try eating grapefruits after a meal, this will absorb the calories. Remember to loose weight slowly, but steady, this way you can keep it off, instead of gaining it back double.

You will not lose 50 lbs fast AND safe. A year is a good target to lose that much safely and have a good chance of keeping it off.First off, do NOT eat fast food. It is full of the worst possible things to keep you alive, and only makes you crave more of it. Eat whole grains and things with whole grains in them. Eat a small salad with every meal, because the fiber will fill you up without the extra calories. Carbs are NOT bad, but eating too much is.I know it s hard not to eat the food you love, but you can still love it and eat it- JUST NOT ALL THE TIME! That s what s killing you. Toss the ice cream, Pop-Tarts, Doritos and other crap into the trash so you can t eat it, and get some fruit for a snack instead.There is no magic diet to losing weight and keeping it off. You have to burn more calories than you eat to lose it, and you have to change your eating habits and lifestyle if you want to succeed. Reward yourself every so often with some Dairy Queen or something, but it should NOT be a habit.It takes time, and it starts slowly, so you ll be working your butt off for a month or so and may actually GAIN weight as you build muscle mass. BUT- muscles are better for burning those extra pounds off, so if you stay on track you ll see results within a relatively short time.

The very truth of any weightloss is to burn the calories you eat.If you eat 3000 calories a day, you need to burn enough to bring it back down to 2200. If you eat more than your daily allowance and don t burn it off in some way, you ll continue to gain weight.If you eat only 2200 calories a day, you ll still want to exercise, just to increase metabolism and to strengthen. The less you do: the less you ll want to do is a true statement when it comes to physical fitness. Start small! Give your body a chance to enjoy and need movement and exercise. But be diligent to do something, no matter how small, EVERY DAY. Even doing something as fun as dancing to music videos is exercise. Find something you love, devote a certain time period to doing ONLY that, and go for it!This site should help you:http://rileychildrenshospital.com/caring��Good luck! :o)

As long as you believe that nonsense that diet food is nasty, you re doomed to be fat and get all the problems that come with it. You need to change your attitude and behavior. I eat a very tasty diet of mostly vegetables with a little protein mixed in. Too many carbs, fats, and sugars are your worst enemy. Learn to live without them. Eat to live, don t live to eat.

I know how you feel. I m about 25 pounds overweight myself right now, and I m in the process of losing it. I ve always had a problem with my weight, but in the past I ve lost thirty pounds by sticking to natural foods (fruits, veggies, lean meats, low fat dairy). I don t eat any fried foods, junk food, or diet food (processed stuff that is loaded with artifical ingredients). This doesn t mean I don t eat sweets; I make desserts with fresh fruit and dark chocolate. You can, too. I also recommend getting into running. Start out slowly and don t overexert yourself, but make sure you re getting your heart rate up. Running is excellent for burning fat and giving you that long, lean look.

First, join a weight loss group. (TOPS, Weight Watchers, etc. ) I know for a kid like you it costs a kings ransom. Just come up with the money. The second thing is not the diet but your total environment. Ask yourself where do you eat and avoid those areas. Stay in areas where activity and not eating is considered a reward.Substitute healthy areas. Some gyms allow 14 year old to join with parents permission. I just want you to know that I was a big yo-yo with my weight. If I started at your age the chances of me breaking those bod habits would of been much greater. Good luck.
