How can I get myself to lose weight?

[Anonymous]

I'd really like to start eating more healthy, drinking more water, and LOSING WEIGHT.
Luckily for me, I have my advantages being a teen: fast metabolism and due to genetics, an even faster metabolism. But I have always kept up the same, boring, and unhealthy routine. I binge, starve then repeat the process more times than I can count. I would really like to just start eating healthy. I'm not a big fan of fruits and veggies and water tastes boring to me. I guess those are the consequences of never eating right. I'm pretty sure this has also caused my metabolism to slow so i've been gaining weight. So how can I keep up a healthy diet, drink more water, and lose weight?

Are you forgetting exercising? That definitely should help. Otherwise, try mixing stuff together so that they taste good but you still get a good healthy consumption out of it. You're not a big fan of fruits? Wow! You do know that includes: bananas, apples, oranges, peaches, pears, plums, raspberries, strawberries, pineapples among others, right?

I love pineapples, watermelon, mangoes, cantaloupe, honeydew, lychee, yellow cherries, sapote or sapodilla, persimmons, figs, oranges. So I like tropical and foreign fruits lol. But yes i'm aware of exercising.

[chrisbigman]

Oh, okay. At first I thought you didn't like any fruits at all.

[Asker]

that would be weird lol

[chrisbigman]

Yeah, that's what I thought at first.

Cut the junk food, cut the fast foods, eat lean meat, drink at least 8 glasses of water/day. Never eat right before you go to sleep. That's how you put in weight faster.

What about fruit juices? Can I drink pomegranite juice, green tea w/o sugar, coconut water, and pure watermelon juice along with water? I've been filling up on those a lot lately to try to get rid of my binging.

[BlackMac97]

Yea those are good too. The coconut water I hear is pretty good for your body (I don't drink it but my mom does).

[Asker]

Ok thank you!!

you have to make a decision to change the way you eat. Start by one thing at a time. You can put some lemon or mint leaves into the water to make it more interesting, or start by drinking more tea. Try eating fruits and vegetable in interesting ways.

[Asker]

Ok thank you. Maybe i'll search online how to make everything more interesting.

I hate veggies and fruits too, I am still healthy with high metabolism. Lot of people over think this shit

Weight loss = Calorie deficit

[Asker]

[Polocrew]

.. calorie deficit = eating less cals than required. Exercising along with it would help u preserve muscles and give more definition if you cutting
