Well I have a relative around the age of 12 that lost over 20 pounds.Simply this is what he did: 1) Eat plenty of Vegetables and Fruit.2) Eat less than 2000 or 2500 calories a day (depends on how much you excerice per day, if you excercise for 30 mins, eat 2000 Calories or less. If you excercise 1 hour eat 2500 Calories or less).3) Excercise 5-7 Days a week for 30 Minutes at least or more.4) Meal time was usally, 7-8 AM Breakfast, 12-1 PM Lunch, 6-7 PM Dinner. (Dont eat anything other than water or maybe a fruit or two after 7)he did this for months and every week he got different results, he usally lost 1, 2, or 3 pounds per week. Which is healthy because if you lose more than 3 pounds a week its bad for your health. You gotta take it slow. :)
get outside and enjoy the fresh air, stop playing on a computer and video games. plus at that age there i wouldnt be too worried about losing weight as you will grow into it when you hit your growth spurt.
Completely cut out sodas.
Do not try that free trial! It s a scam!! They just want a way to get your credit card information to keep charging you.
At this age you got to be really careful. I had an okay diet at that age (it wasn t brilliant but I didn t a lot of fast food) but I was a bit above average. I don t know pounds but lets say I should have been 80 pounds I was 85. Anyway my Dad decided I was a too much of a fat little porker (his words not mine) and thought starvation or meal replacement was best. It had the opposite effect. I d spend the weekend or a week or two with him (my parents were divorced) and by the end I would be starving so bad that I compensated by overeating... I m still dealing with that stuff 15 years later!Ok plenty of fresh food. Get the recommended daily intake and right portions. Hamburgers are okay as a treat and are a better choice if you go for home made (same for pizza and other take aways). When making them at home, choose low fat mince for example...Limit TV and electronic game (eg gameboy) time. After school it s outdoors or other activities.Try group sports or group activities (eg there are groups who go walking pre work / school). Whilst it may be unfair to include the entire family all the time, mum / dad / aunts / uncles / grandparents etc may choose to go for a half hour walk or swimming or such and spend some quality time with them...Under NO circumstances make them feel guilty or poorly, build confidence...This will set you, your son and family up in the short, mid and long term...
