I need diet tips?

[Anonymous]

I'm 5'8" and about 135 ish, but still chunkier than I'd want. I don't eat a lot, and I work out. But I need diet tips. I already eat pretty healthy, and I'm mostly vegetarian. What would be the best stuff and amounts to eat?

You're at a perfect weight for your height. But I know all about wanting to look your best. My suggestion is to eat balanced meals. Trying to get what you need daily through what you eat. Try eating frequent small meals but make sure you consume between 1200-1600 a day. Not eating often and waiting until you're hungry is actually very hard on your body. Also drink lots of water (approx. 64 ounces a day). Most people are dehydrated and are holding onto excess water weight since their body is deprived of hydration. Once you're consistently consuming the healthy amount of water you need, your body will flush out the stored water.

As far as exercising, I go for long and lean and toned. Pilates, yoga, and zumba have all worked wonders for me. I feel great and what's crazy is that once I started doing pilates consistently, I didn't lose any weight but my clothes became looser.

But you're at a perfectly healthy weight. Just make yourself feel good and soon you'll feel like you look hot! :)

if you're eating too little then you won't lose weight. also, you're verging on unhealthy as it is and seing as you're under 18, you probably have unrealistic expectations about what you're body should look like. do you want to look like a girl or a woman?
