Everything You Need To Know About Weight Loss For Teenagers
What are healthy ways for teens to lose weight?
I am 14 and my Middle school prom is coming up and I’m scared I won’t find the right dress and I also just discovered I’m a tad bit overweight. My mom keeps saying it’s okay but it really isn’t and I need to find a way to lose about 10 pounds in the next like 3 months..THANKS!
Okay, so this is from my experience.
For breakfast, eggs are the best choice. I read it in a magazine somewhere but eggs actually help you!
For lunch/dinner, I usually eat subways. Veggie delight is the best. I order Italian herbs and cheese, put swiss cheese, toasted, lettuce, tomato, onions, (light) mayo, and vinegar.
The point is, you’ve got to cut the junk food. If you want to lose weight, cutting junk food will help immensely. Instead of candy and sweets, eat an orange or an apple! Strawberries and raspberrys are good too. Also, cut the soda and FLAVORED (which is FAKE SUGARED JUICE) juice! Replace it with lots of water, and some milk once in a while. If you want something sweet to drink, drink Tropicana Orange Juice. From my experience, that’s the only REAL juice I’ve seen out there. Once in a while, I drink pomegranate juice too.
Also, I now have a habit in looking at the package for the calories. I can only limit myself into comsuming 2000 calories a day.
Oh, and you can find out if juice is not real juice by looking at the bottle. Usually they put it in tiny letters so you won’t find out. But its fake if it says Flavored.
& of course, you HAVE to excercise. Try walking up flights and flights of stairs. Walk the long way home (if its safe of course!) or dance crazily to your music (I do that, its fun AND healty).
WARNING: Do not starve yourself! I repeat, DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF! Don’t skip meals because once you eat again, you’ll gain all the weight back (and possibly gain more). This is because of the metabolism that had depleted.
I’m 14 by the way… and by following these rules, I lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks. Yeah, I use to be 120 lbs, but now I’m 110 lbs.
I hope this helps?
