High carb low fat vegan. It's not just a diet though, it really is a lifestyle when you're vegan. High carb and low fat is just how I feel my best. Eating this way makes your body feel and look so good that if you fall off the wagon, you actually want to go back right away so you can feel your best again. It's not even about what I look like anymore, which was how I felt with other diets. I mean, my acne is gone, my hair doesn't get greasy as fast as it used to, I smell better, I look better, it's the easiest diet ever, I have more energy, I can really go on and on. The benefits are endless.

Keep a food journal. Don't focus so much on calorie counting. Basically just write down the things you eat through out the day. Review it at the end of the day and try to cut back on foods that are high in bad fats and bad sugars. If you notice you eat more carbs (breads), replace some of those carbs with veggies or fruits.
If you want, and I have done this too, plan your meals for the week and try to create 6 small meals through out the day if you can. This basically helps hold you accountable for what you eat. I noticed I started slimming down when I did this for a few months.

Count your calories. Make sure you pick your food very carefully to ensure you get enough nutritiion while not eating too many calories. That's about all you can do if you can't exercise. Since you're 14, you're still growing so it's very important to have a healthy diet.

just eat natural foods until you can start exercising again.

If your less active then lower your intake. Figure out what you can do with respect to exercise, low impact strength training then... something that does not raise your heart-rate too much.

The low glycemic diet worked great for me. Essentially, it's nothing buy proteins and veggies with minimal grains. This diet helped me lose over 80 lbs while actually gaining muscle.

The cocaine diet works extremely well, but it's expensive and not good if you don't have a strong heart. lol

[matheus_mb]

Eat only the necessary not to stay hungry and work out daily. It worked for me and I recommend it for everyone.

Going vegan

[DisastrousQu33n]

I'm gonna try it for a week and see what happens

Make sure you constantly eat. Fruits and Veggies have little calories so if you don't eat enough, your metabolism will slow down. Calculating the calories of fruit in a calorie counter online is good because you need to make sure you get at least 2000 calories. Since it's not full of the hormones and fat that regular foods have, your body will cleanse itself and unneccesary weight gain won't happen. MAKE SURE YOU DRINK LOTS OF WATER TOO! You'll probably notice your skin clearing up to. Just remember to MAKE SURE YOU EAT ENOUGH! Going vegan will shred pounds, make you extremely healthy and give you glowing skin (if done right).
