What is the best way for a 14 year old to lose 40 pounds?

Answer 1

Reduce caloric intake and increase caloric uptake.

Eat less and exercise more. The best way is start by cutting back on what you're eating. Eliminate most of the "empty calories" such as sweets, pop, and chips, but don't deny yourself those, just eat very little (such as 1-2 cookies a day). If you completely cut them out of your "diet" you will feel deprived and are more likely to "cheat" and eat a lot. Cut back your portions, but NEVER skip a meal. Eating several smaller meals will help curb your hunger throughout the day and eliminate "binge" eating. And you have to start some type of exercise routine. Start out slow by walking a little each day and work your way up. Make sure to take at least one day off a week so you don't feel overwhelmed.

Answer 2

* Exercise every day and drink a lot of water. Walk a lot. Eat healthy foods like yogurt and rice cakes and fruit. Drinking water is a key, like 16-20 glasses a day. * For more in-depth information about the causes of weight gain, or obesity, and the best ways for a teenager to lose weight, see the page links further down this page, listed under Related Questions.
