Losing weight FAST isn t healthy. You ll have to do unhealthy things to lose the weight, and the moment you return to your regular lifestyle, you regain all the weight you lost and then some. You have to take it slow and steady when losing weight if you want to STAY thin.Try eating more fruits and veggies in place of other fatty meals, like junk food, cookies, or high calorie meals. Like most people (I m guilty sometimes!), you ve probably brainwashed yourself into thinking that fast food tastes better than healthy food, but that s not entirely true! Try eating more grapes, clemintines, apples chunks in vanilla yogurt (good for sweet cravings!), blueberries, hummus (it sounds gross but it s really not, especially with Wheat Thins or Food Should Taste Good brand whole grain chips! I personally like garden vegetable or tomato flavored), granola, low-fat yogurt, low-fat string cheese, LITE whole wheat bread, 100 - calorie popcorn / kettle corn bags, steamed broccoli with a buttery garlic sauce etc. I also snack on South Beach Diet oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, they re good AND pretty healthy! And eat SLOWLY. Take one bite at a time, chew completely, then take another bite. If you eat slower, you ll become fuller quicker, and you won t overeat.Incorporate more exercise into your daily life. Take the dog for a 20 minute walk, do jumping jacks while watching TV, do laps around the block, or the house for that matter. Don t let yourself sit down for too long. If you can, get a gym membership. I use an elliptical for 30 minutes 5-6 times a week and it works great for me.And don t eat out of boredom! It s a nasty habit to break, TRUST ME. Whenever you feel like eating, watch a movie with no commercial breaks so you don t have time to get up, call a friend, read a book or magazine, or get out of the house, away from the food. And don t DIET . Because the moment you go off your diet , you ll regain the all the weight you lost quickly, believe me. Instead, make healthy living choices. I recently lost weight, about 20 lbs, and what really helped for me was planning my meals. I planned when and what I was going to eat, and made sure the calorie count was 1400. It may be different depending on your needs, but never go under 1200! Whatver you do, don t let yourself stray from your plan. Write it all down or type it out and leave it up on your computer so you don t forget, that s what I do.You ll never get to your ideal body by eating crap food and sitting around, no matter how much you want it to happen. It takes dedication to get the body you want! Make it like a game. How much weight can I lose? Prove it to yourself you DO have the willpower to get what you want. But allow yourself a cheat day every now and then. Life is too short! If you restrict your body of all the good foods , you will one day EXPLODE and eat everything in sight. Trust me!One more thing: Once you do become thinner, DON T think you can eat whatever you want now! You ll regain all the weight back, which is absolutely mortifying, especially after all the hard work to lose it.Good luck! Hope that helps (:
weight loss is not something that is a quick fix. it is a lifestyle change you must make and it doesn t happen over night. if you are only a teenager it should be handled with care. give yourself about six months of good eating habits and exercise and I m sure you will see plenty of results.
