Answer 4

first of all,you should try to eat something for breakfast even if its  a small snack,the body needs food to burn fat n caleries,if you skip meals then the body stores what you do eat as fat,,not good.i'm 4'9 and 40 years old..yeah i'm short.but i learned that if you have 5 small meals a day and stay away from soda, foods high in carbs you can drop 10 lbs every other week. but you must drink water lotz of water.if i can do it you can do it.also fresh veggies like salades n fruit salades are a great way to get protiens n vitimins you need while dieting..hope this helps.

Weight loss is a life style change.

You have to be committed to this, but in return you will be healthier.

If you truly are 20 pounds over weight then here is some advice for you.

The smartest thing to do is go to the library and get some books on healthy eating.

Is there anyone who will be able to support you, mom, dad, sister..?  

You need a parent to serve healthy meals -- fast food is easy, but not healthy.  Cakes, cookies and chips should be kept out of the house.  

For starters, eat breakfast!  I don't care what you need to do, just eat something.  I recently found these health bars that are very tasty, they are called LUNA bars.  Get the ones that have a lot of protein and vitamins.  If you cant eat a good breakfast, at least eat one of those with a glass of milk.

Don't skimp on Lunch either.  Lunch is very important.  Pack a healthy sandwich, use whole grain breads, fruit, veggie and drink - water is best. Stay away from fruit juices, they claim to be healthy, but are loaded with sugar.

Go light on dinner.  If you eat a big dinner, you never have a chance to burn off any of those calories and they get stored in your body as fat.

Try to make it a rule not to eat after 8:00 p.m. if you have to have something, make it celery or carrot sticks.

You probably know to stay away from cookies, cakes, chips, pretzels and foods high in fat, sugar and empty carbs.

Start reading labels, some foods say they are healthy, but once you read the label you find high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils (both very bad for you)

Dont forget to get atleast 45 minutes of activity a day.  Try going for a bike ride, rollerblading, even walking

at a fast pace.  This is not only good for weight loss, but good for your heart!

Be sure to get plenty of sleep too,  at your age you need plenty of rest!

Educate yourself for a healthy future!

I wish you the best!
