I am 15 & I want to lose some weight,? Any tips?

[Anonymous]

First off, i am 15, i weigh 98 lbs. i know im under weight, problem is, i have fat on my waist, & i want to get rid of it, i have been starting to excerise but i need to know what & what not to eat because working out & sweating is over part of it... In my house we don't have a lot.. I mean, like we do, but there isn't a lot of healthy ingredients... I mean we have milk & water, & a few fruits, but thats pretty much it, anyway, any tips on how to lose the fat on my waist? I really want to have a flat stomach, i just don't know where or how to start?

Sweets! Avoid sugary food and drinks, don't eat white fluffy stuffs!, and MOST importantly avoid FAKE SUGAR which is hiding under the name of "high fructose corn syrup" ... if you see that name on any food that you're about to eat, just toss it out! It's like the number one thing that helps your fat form around your midsection and prevents it from burning off too. So any food or drink with high fructose corn syrup should automatically be out of your diet, basically TRASH IT!

Add more protein and water to your diet and DO exercise.
Eat small frequent meals instead of Large spaced out meals, because the larger the meal is, the larger your stomach becomes. the smaller your meal is and the more frequent you eat, the faster you make your metabolism work.

If you eat a lot of carbs, make sure that you're drinking PLENTY of water. Carbs without enough water in your system will be stored into fat! Carbs with ENOUGH water, will be transformed into energy. :]! Don't eat 2 hours before bed, and try to make your last meal have WET carbs so that you stay hydrated throughout the night.

P. S. Weight lifting burns off more calories than cardio if you do it right. ... because your muscles are still working even after you finish, whereas in cardio, you're only burning off while you're doing it.

OH! You're under 15! do do weights. But you can lift your own weight, such as push-ups.

lifting weights before you're 17 can stunt your growth.

[skullly]

i meant DON'T do weights. Until you turn 17.

[Asker]

Haha thank you very much fir the tip, I appreciate it :) & I don't plan on using weights, maybe when im close to the age of 17, &

98 pounds doesn't mean much since we do your height. How tall are you?

Well most people to lose weight And as long as you eat enough protein half gram per pound of body weight and lots of vegetables work out and don't eat under 1200 calories you should lose some weight without sacrificing nutrition.

but for you seeing as you're fifteen still growing. I'd wait to lose weight when you're done growing. Your likely not overweight unless you're like four feet tall. So just eat enough to maintain your weight and work out and worry about losing when you're old enough to order alcohol:)

[Asker]

Hahhahaha im 5'3 1/2, almost 5'4, & im trying to eat right xD & yeah im working out,

[Azara]

Yeah you're not overweight and you don't want to mess up any remaining growth plans your body has. Do just eat well work out and don't worry about losing weight:)

[Asker]

Haha got it! Thanks!

[Kabloosh75]

Work out.

Do weight lifting type work outs and avoid cardio like the plague. Consume protein oh and you don't need to lose weight. You need to gain it.

[Asker]

Haha thanks for the tip xD yeah, no worries, im working out,

[Asker]

Oh, & I don't use weights :/ can't, folks won't let me

[Kabloosh75]

That sucks.
Well there are ways to work around that.
Push ups, pull ups, arm hangs if you can't do a pull up, Indian sprints, sit ups, and crunches.
All weight lifting is is short burst type work outs with resistence.

[Asker]

Got it! Thanks!

[Kabloosh75]

Oh I forgot the ultimate work out. Squats. Do them. It is how you get an ass people will worship.

if u r already underweight better DON'T... a little fat isb't bad u know...;-)

[Moore_xoxo]

Okay, I love to workout.

What you need to know is, losing weigh isn't gonna always target where you wanna target. It's all about toning.

Do what I do, wear a latex workout cincher. You can find them off amazon.
It's latex so it'll heat up the fat & while you're excersicing it'll sweat.

Sweat=fat burning

I wouldn't suggest doing what you're doing since you're already too skinny.

[Asker]

I been wanting a latex! I was hoping that would help! & thank you!

[Prettygurl12]

You don't want to lose weight. You want to tone.

Do core exercises. You will replace the fat in your midsection with muscle and look thinner and you won't be at an unhealthy weight.

[Asker]

Thanks you!! & haha excuse my mistake :) thank you!

[Prettygurl12]

Not a problem.

[apple24]

how long does it take to see results? @ Prettygurl12

[apple24]

@Prettygurl12

[Prettygurl12]

Depends on what you define as results.

It usually takes me 2 weeks of daily core work to notice a difference. It'll be longer for definition to actually occur.

[Prettygurl12]

@apple24

[apple24]

How long do you do your core excersie like an hour a day? @Prettygurl12

[Prettygurl12]

Um... basically, yes.

[skullly]

Umm... if she has a round tummy and does exclusively ab/core exercises without watching her diet, the only thing she will end up with is a "hard" pregnant like tummy.

If you do not change your diet, and have a round tummy do not primarily or solely focus on core exercises, that will completely make you look pregnant.

[Prettygurl12]

Of course diet is important too.
