I'm 15 and want to lose weight badly but im not able to fit something like swimming everyday into my life or do one of those crazy diets help?

Answer 1

At your age, the best way to lose weight is to try to get a good 8 hours of sleep every night, (good sleep actually burns calories) stay active during the day and eat a balanced diet. Try to stay away from "empty" calories. If you belong to a health plan like Kaiser they have a list of all foods and their calorie content. Ask your pediatrician for a list. It's good to start being aware of the "quality" of calories you are eating. High school is a time when young women are exposed to more junk food and choices out of a machine. Think of your body as a car and food as the fuel you need to run it. Take in only as much fuel as your body requires. Then you won't have to stress about dieting or losing weight. You'll recognize yourself as the beautiful and intelligent young woman that you are and concentrate on things that are more important. If you get enough sleep, eat the right foods and concentrate on "feeding" your brain, you will never worry that you aren't the thinnest woman in the room. Once you do have time to work in a daily swim, you will see inches slide right off. Swimming is a great way to sculpt your body without beating it up. Crazy diets aren't for smart girls.

i have had many stuggles with weight loss and losing fat for a long time. I manage to lose up to a dress size in a week by doing just a 12 minutes routine that's just body weight… and still be able to eat my confort foods. I am also able to eat ice cream every day and drink smoothies and eat chocolate.

The main difference for me was changing into a diet that allowed me to eat the foods i loved and it worked well for me.

i belive that cutting your calories to much can be a bad thing too… and that eating the foods you love is still important not just for your body… but for your sanity too

i had stuggled big time before i figuered my body and how to do it correctly… now i don't have to starve or eat "rabbit food" all the time.

I made big changes when i realised that a calorie is not always the same and that eating is what controls when and how you lose fat.

i eat raw chocolate ever day… and ive lost heaps of weight!

even though i hated working out, i found that doing the most bang for your buck exersises like squats and pull ups made the biggest differences. I hated doing crunches and using ab gadgets for weight loss… it can be fun and simple… but may not be easy if you do not know how to do it right.

I also believe in doing interval training (short bursts of intensity) rather then doing long steady paced cardio. Lots of research show that it can make you fat. There is a way to lose fat all day long ;)
