Any good dieting tips for teenagers?

[Anonymous]

Im looking to loose a couple pounds and I'm fairley young. I'm starting to go into the overweight section on the bmi chart. I want to do a diet that isn't as different as my regular eating habits. I'm bulimic too so that doesn't quite help. But I'm working on it. Anyways here's what I eat on a normal day. I don't wake up early enough to eat breakfast so starting from what I did today.
Lunch: 2 stuffed garlic olives, 13 ritz crackers, 3 thin cut slices of salami, 3 thin cut slices provolone cheese. Sounds like a lot but isn't.
Dinner: Couple pieces of smoked brisket beef and corn.
Late night snack: Smoothie with raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and a banana.
And then at night sometimes I'll do crunches and sit ups to get rid of my tummy and run in place to help my legs. That doesn't really help because then the next day I binge. Anyways help me if you can. Give advice that isn't noticable to parents. I don't want mine to know. Thanks!

Provolone cheese is 27% fat, salami is 26% fat. Crackers are like bread. Corn is like bread. It has sugars in it that can bring weight. Fruits are good for health yet contain fructose in decent amounts. Smoothies are also sweet, naturally but the natural aspect, as well as the healthy aspect, is irrelevant. It's sweet. Oh and your parents won't judge you for trying to stay in the normal BMI section. Skimmed milk with whey is cool. It dries the body of the fat. You need to cut fats and keep exercising tho. If you feel hungry you can eat salat, veggies, soup or low fat meat. What you eat brings plenty of calories. It's not that you eat so so much, it's more that you eat very calorific stuff that ends up partially as fat. Don't starve, just eat stuff that brings less calories per pound. Max cal amount is 1900 for a woman per day.

Weight loss is 80% diet. I recommend you track your food. Download my fitness pal on there. Smoothies seem healthy yet they are not. You are not getting the full nutrition from the fruits.

Whenever I have Wanted to drop a few pounds, I lay off the Starches, the Sweets and Treats and Dig More into Salads and fruits, Low fat and Fat free Foods.
Go Online and Devise a Healthy Diet for Yourself that you Think you can Stick to. Some of the things you have Mentioned above here, dear, are Loaded with Salt, and with "Picking," you will end Up... Binging Because it is not enough to fill your tummy.
Exercise goes hand in hand and if you can, the weight will come off faster if you can Walk at least 15-20 minutes a day, maybe a Little Longer on the weekends. The crunches and sit ups are good though for the Tummy and while you are at home, 'Run in place to help my legs.'
Good luck. xx

Breakfast should be your heaviest meal. It should also be consumed 30 minutes after waking up to get your metabolism going. Usually with the main chunk of your carbs should come from breakfast. A good example I've seen some diets offer is baked potato.
Instead of 3 large meals, try just healthy light snacking through the day (minimum of 5 a day is what I've heard)
Try to avoid eating in the evening, like after 8.
Drink lots and lots of water
I'm not an expert, these are just things I've heard from multiple sources over the years.

you need to eat breakfast, and eating smaller portions for breakfast lunch and dinner will help. snacking is a no no, as people tend to binge, and drink lots of water, also avoid soft drink and fruit juice as its full of sugar and just empty calories. you can eat whatever you want as long as its in moderation, but it's better to eat fruit and veggies. daily exercise like jogging WILL help. you should notice a difference pretty soon. read up about portion sizes, it will open your eyes. good luck :)

Diets are never a good option since they give a yoyo effect. Start eating balanced and according your daily energy consumption. The effect will be slower, but it will last.

I think the best advice would be to tell your family you want to lose weight so they can help you by keeping you on track. The idea of it is to eat less and move more.

Exercise, even it is just walking for an hour each day.
Find a Herbalife distributor and go on the programme. It works.

Swimming is great exercise for people like you because it takes pressure of the knee and other joints and tendons yet is great aerobic exercise and allows you to burn a lot of calories.

[Anonymous]

First of all, what kind of exercise do you get? Do you do any sports?

[Asker]

I can't do many sports because I have tendinitis in my left knee, and I have social anxiety, so I can't do any sports that involves teamwork. But I swim sometimes. And I take walks on the beach for a couple hours with my parents. At night I do about 60 sit ups and 60 crunches, and run in place for about 10 minutes.

Oh that really sucks! It's great you are making the best of a tough situation... most people would just accept an inactive lifestyle.

Unfortunately, I eat an incredibly unhealthy diet so I can't give an good advice

[Asker]

When in doubt just stand tall and suck in the belly! That's what I do.
