Loose weight in an healthy way?

How can i loose weight the healthy way?

  • Hey. I am 15 years old. I weigh 157 pounds and am 5'6. I want to loose weight this summer. My goal weight is 130 but i'm not sure if that is achievable. I want to loose weight but i do NOT want to have anything that sags. I will be going to the gym everyday. Today i ran an hour on the elliptical and did some lifts, crunches and planks. I take a multivitamin. I want to loose this weight in the healthiest way possible because two years ago i was anorexic. Today for breakfast i had an egg, oatmeal and some fresh squeezed orange juice, for lunch i had a classic salad from panera and for dinner im going to have a little fish and a bowl of asparagus. I'm cutting out soda completely from my diet. I have quite a bit of muscle. I'm captain of the swim team, play soccer and tennis. Honestly, what do you think? Thank you so much!

  • Answer:

    You're human, just change your diet. Be careful about drinks like Green Tea. They may constantly cleanse and rinse all the sugar, salts, fats and caffeines from your body, and they do contain antioxidants but unfortunately they take away vitamins from your body n can make u anemic. MODERATION IS KEY. So are serving sizes. (For example, if you want to eat ice cream, eat it in a measuring cup) Peanut Butter can make u fat. 2 spoon fulls is all ur aloud or u'll blow up. its loaded with Calories. But it is okay to use Peanut Butter or Nutella. Spread it on the peel of an apple and you've got a good snack. AVOID salty peanuts like cashews. AVOID transfat and unsaturated fats. There's an oatmeal thats high in Fiber. (it has 35grams of Fiber) The more Fiber you get, the more you will go to the bathroom easier and that helps you to slim down. Drink half your body weight in water everyday. AVOID sugary cereals and eating too much sugar early in the morning because eating and drinking to much sugar at the start of your day can slow you down all day and make u loose energy and feel sleepy or too tired to exercise. Get 8hours of sleep at night because the more tired you are, the harder it is to feel like getting up and being active the next day and therefore the more weight you gain from laziness. Diets dont work. Eat all low calories and avoid white rice (or only eat small servings of it ONCE IN A WHILE). Switch to whole wheat bread (and dont eat anything that doesnt say "whole wheat" on it.) and plain cheerios, ALL BRAN COMPLETE (which is a Kellog's cereal. You can cut apples up or put berries in it and its tasty.) Ear Raisin Bran or Granola cereal. Good yogurt helps prevent yeast infections. Weight Watchers yogurt and Dannon Vanilla (fruit on the bottom) yogurt is good. You can also buy plain yogurt and put berries in it. Eat a lot of fruit. 15 grapes have 1 gram of fiber while an apple has two. Avoid "sugar free" and eat fat free. Avoid all juices made with high fructose corn syrup. Drink alot of milk. No pop, even diet. Dont eat pizza, burgers and fries (its cooked in grease. Fried foods are bad for you. try to back and grill them). eat Idaho potatoes Dont eat buttery popcorn and only eat popcorn because u feel like eating and but u dont need to. Dont eat chicken or chicken sandwhiches unless they were "grilled, baked, or boiled" Eat fish (not fried fish). Try a LARGE breakfast and then it small meals for lunch and try to have a dinner with LEAN CUTS OF MEAT and various vegetables. Eat vegetables as a midnight snack. Dont eat any candy that doesnt contain fiber. there u go. Grilled or boiled is the healthiest. Fried and greasy is most hurtful unless its grilled in Olive oil. Avoid TV dinners and processed foods. DONT EAT HOTDOGS!! try link sausages. Dont water ur food down in sauces like ketchup. Use less sauce Eat "i cant believe its not butter", its good stuff if u buy a McDonald's salad, dont use thier sauce packet. its loaded with fat and salt. Use ur own salad dressing thats less fattening. Order milk or apple juice at mcdonalds and try moderation. If u want a cookie, only eat 2. if u want ice cream, only eat 1 scoop (or just order the ice cream sunday cup at mcdonalds, thats a fair serving size. STOP eatting cones. its too many calories. NO bowls either.), etc. manage ur serving sizes and try to only eat those kindda snacks when ur gonna do some walking or exersize so u'll burn up what u eat. Thats the reason we're fat, mind you. We eat more than our metabolism can burn up so that extra food gets stored. Only eat what u can burn up, and then after that just eat popcorn and fruit. if u wanted to eat pizza, you'd have to remove the cheese and meat and only eat the crust so its a waste of money. Almonds help burn belly fat. eat 28 a day. if u eat more than 28, you'll get fat. almonds have good natural fats and oils the body need and eating 28 of them can make u feel full and replace a meal for u. Eat sunflower seeds, its the same effect that the plain popcorn has. Chew on those if u just feel like chewing on something. avoid gum, even trident. but if u must ORBIT is best. use Splenda, Sucralose, or Aspartame in your food and drinks. (it may be nasty at first, but once ur taste buds adjust to it, it'll be DELICIOUS.) Only eat baked patatoe chips, and Murray's sugar free cookies. eat dry fruit AVOID CEREAL BARS...they'll make u fatter. Protein shakes and egg whites are good (dont eat the yokes) get more home cooked meals, prefferably alot of beans. Avoid Hi-C. a beverage can make u extremely fat. it can be like eating an extra meal. thats my diet, it works
