Ways to Lose Weight and Fat Loss Diets Tips

I’m 14 and 150 lbs my best friend cant even tell that I’m that heavy though. i was just curious if teens could lose weight faster than an adult because I see all those commercials for weight loss pills and it takes those adults a long time to lose weight. I mean I dont want the pills…I want to lose weight the right way….but I was just wondering?

yes…its harder to lose the weight when you are an adult particularly if you are over 30….metabolism slows down after your 20’s…add to that stress and bad eating habits…at 14, it should be easy for you to lose the weight…eat right…dont diet yourself to death(yoyo dieting is a no-no…it only helps you to gain more weight)…its better to eat 6 small meals a day (esp. fruits and vegetables) than eating 3 full meals…digestion is better this way…walking is also the best exercise…climb the stairs instead of using the lift or the escalator…it strengthens your legs and shapes your butt…

I am around average size for a girl my age, I am 14, but I would like to lose a few pounds before bathing suit time.

I dont have issues with my body, I am comfortable with it, but I would just like to look a little healthier.

Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we’ve known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.

Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.

Make a few additional small changes – walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.

Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can’t get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one.

In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.

Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate – in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don’t. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.

Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.

Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.

Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.

Vary your routines. Don’t eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn’t adjust to any one routine.

An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.

Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc. Here are a few helpful links.

Im 14 and delieverd a 9lb 6oz Baby Girl 8 weeks ago. Now I want to lose 20 of the 35 pounds I gained during my pregnancy. For mothers and other teens what are ways you have lost weight? I need some help with this!
For those wanting to know I named her Alyana Grace!

1. First start by getting up earlier than usual. Around 5:30 AM to do some of you workouts. Getting up early shocks your metabolism because the body needs more energy to get going. Right? This will start your system on the road to weight loss. That early start with about 10 minutes of stretching. Have a cup of coffee to get the blood going also.

2. Do all the sit-ups you can. Just do them. 15 or 20 whatever, we don’t have a lot of time to work with. Rest 1 minute repeat, do this for 6 sets. Already you are breathing hard and feel worn, because the body is working extra hard at being up earlier and then going right into exercise. If the early morning hour lets you get your cardio in, go ahead and do it. 30 minutes.

3. Diet. Cut all current meal portions in half, just cut them in half, nothing fancy or complicated, CUT IN HALF! Cut out all bread products, all gravies, candies, chips, night snacks, etc. If you crave at night eat a banana, other fruit or best a non-fat yogurt. There are some tasty ones out there.

4. In the evening do another 6 sets of sit-ups maxing out each set. Cardio again. The trick is to stay with getting up earlier. Yes it’s hard, that’s why it is so effective. Why do you think the Army gets up so early, it is intense training to the max.

I’m doing a project for school and need to list ways that teens are losing weight in a dangerous way, for example anorexia, bulimia, etc etc.

thanks

Starvation
Fad Diets
Uni-dimensional diets (that focus on one macronutrient/food/etc)
diets with no exercise
trying to lose too much in a short space of time

Anything that isn’t a balanced diet really! even if it’s calorie restricted it still has to be balanced to be healthy!!

im 15 and i weigh 225 so far i lost like 15 pounds i want to weigh 110
and i need to lose 115 pounds in 5/7 months how can i lose that much weight without hurting myself

If you change some unhealthy habits to healthy habits, you’ll start to lose weight slowly. Never starve yourself or skip meals, because you’ll just end up with slow metabolism and stunt your growth. As a teen, you need to develop some healthy eating habits, which will be beneficial long-term later.

Some tips are:
*Exercise at least 30 min/day, or 3-5x/week.
*Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables [Low in Calories]
*Drink lots of water- it makes you feel full & keeps you hydrated.
You’ll burn more calories if you’re hydrated.
*Eat 3 hours before bed.
*Avoid greasy, oily, fried fatty foods.
*Cut out junk food & Empty calories.
*Eat smaller meals than 3 big ones.
*Avoid trans fat and sugar.
*Always have breakfast with plenty of fibre & protein.

Make changes in your lifestyle and look at them positively.
Learn to make healthier choices and decisions, and you’ll start feeling healthier than ever.

Best wishes.

What are some really good and fast ways to lose weight???

Thanks.

Many ways.

-Excersizing
-Purging all which you eat
-Not eating
-Liposuction

Goodness; you’re 13 and weigh that much? What on earth do you eat?

Okay now seriously; decrease the amount of food you eat and RUN LIKE HELL for at least 10 miles a day; increase one mile each day; so that by the end of the month you’re doing 40 miles a day. You’ll lose weight. Just really really decrease your eating.

main rules:
*DO NOT eat 4 hours before you sleep
*DO NOT eat sweets in any way shape or form
*DO NOT miss a day of excersize
*DO NOT drink anything but water.

When i was 2 i was dignosed with leukemia…and my mom says my obeseity stems from the stariods that i took..but being out of remisson i am beging to feel very uncomfortable with my self and i feel like everywhere i go people are pointing and lauging at me,……for example…i dont like to go to amusment parks such as Kennywood..because i feel like everyride i get on is going to break because i am fat….i need advice some one please help!!!!…

i am now 16 and will be 17 in two months
Okay everyone is saying watch what u eat and honestly i dont even eat junk food much at all…i would rather have an orange then a chocolate bar…….and i barley eat..so….idk…but yes i do exercise but i think i could use more of it…..but my main problem is no one in my family supports me they are all to busy with thier own lives to even care….

steroids do cause weight gain.go to weight watchers they will teach you the proper way to eat and you will have group support.Try to walk,cycle,swim Stay away from sodas,junk food,sweets,candy

I’m about 10-15 pounds overweight, and nobody else notices, but I do. It makes me feel gross to have big thighs and a flabby stomach. What do I do??

Try to stick to black tea/coffee. Black tea or coffee can actually be good for you. But personally I would like to recommend tea rather than coffee. The caffeine in the coffee is not really good for you because it is an alkaloid and can affect other functions of your body like the metabolism.

Hi, this is the first time I have wrote one of these, so pardon if I mess up, ha ha.

So I am 15 years old, almost 16, and I weigh about 202 pounds. For my age it is really unhealthy. I am about 5′ 9" so I kind of get proportioned, but not by much.

Most of my fat is in my stomach area, but mostly my thighs. I have been both bulimic and annorexic in the past, but it didn’t help much. I don’t wish to lead a life like that.

I am also a dancer so I dance at a minimum of 7 hours a week.

I was just wondering does anyone have some tips for me?

I am just struggling with my weight and need some advice, any works… But if you are just going to tell me I am obese, then please refrain from posting anything!

Thank You!

Being an athlete..as a dancer you are an athlete…you can expect to weigh more, so don’t let that discourage you. Go by your doc’s advice, your abilities, how you look, feel, and how your clothes fit.

Slim fast has a very good support system whether or not you use their products. Go to their free website. www.slimfast.com Lots of nutrition and menu planning info and a progress tracker, and a message board and buddy system.

But really at your age, you are not done growing or developing and this is a calorie intensive process for the body. DONT skip on food or diet too much. Not that you can’t be health conscious…of course you can.

Best advice I can give you is to skip the junk food, snack healthy, eat three small meals and three larger snacks per day. Choose healthy foods and healthy cooking methods and monitor portion sizes. Treat yourself every now and then to something wholesome but decadent (such as ice cream)

And exercise. One hour a week of each:

stength training (weights, bands, ball), cardio (walking, swimming), and stretching (yoga, pilates)

on top of your dance each day will make you strong, lean, and a fat burning goddess!
