Good foods and exercise?

[Anonymous]

Hi, I'm a 14 year old boy and I want to see my abs before high school. Can you guys give me good advice on what foods I should eat and foods that I should not eat. I also want to know what are good fat burning exercises that are proven to give results.

Whenever you eat make sure it's high in protein e. g. instead of eating cereal or toast for breakfast eat bacon and eggs. Most people snack on carbs rather than protein. Instead of eating a small bit of chicken with a bit of veg and loads of rice/fries, eat loads of chicken with plenty of veg and a small amount of rice/fries. Basically always reach for protein, cut your carb intake down. Don't be afraid of animal fats. Avoid soya and sugar (eat vegetables instead of fruit).

As for exercise, lift weights or preferably since you're only 14, do bodyweight exercises. To build muscle you should choose exercises where you can only do about 8-12 reps before failure. Bodyweight exercises can be made harder with different variations, for example if you find normal press ups easy you can try diamond press ups, wide press ups, super wide press ups, one arm press ups, do press ups with a bag full of heavy stuff on your back, do dips etc. There's all sorts online if you look on youtube, look for Al Kavadlo. You should build your whole body up. Working on your whole body will help you burn fat faster anyway. As for cardio, sprinting is great for burning fat and building muscle - avoid long distance low intensity stuff like jogging, that just eats away at your muscle. You could do other stuff too, I got in shape when I started boxing, I wasn't big but I was shredded.

just go on a diet to lose weight you do not need to exercise

[AdamThomas]

That's the worst way to lose weight, and the most unhealthy.

[angelgirlpower]

you clearly dont know jackshit, going on a stead caloric deficit is a healthy way to lose weight, i know more than you

killyourself

[AdamThomas]

The most healthy way is to exercise and cut calories. You have to cut down more when you don't exercise, which sucks. The reason a lot of people tend to be constantly on these diets I because they follow this advice, cut out foods that they need, lose the weight, then once they've lost it all they eat properly again and end up putting all the weight back on then they're like "this diet doesn't work" sp they go and waste time again and again trying different ones that end with the same. result. Also exercise is important for your health, especially nowadays, there's a reason our obesity levels are rising.

Protein and veggies. Avoid carbs. Stay in a caloric deficit. You're set.

Your abs probably won't even show that young.

Really? Most guys I remember didn't have abs yet at that age. Guess I was wrong.
