Answer 1

Try this, its a gud way to lose 3-5kgs in 7 days. It’s a start, the rest is upto you after this with help of exercise.

day 1 - only fruits (avoid bananas & milk)

day 2 - only veggies (avoid any kinda oil or fat)

day 3 - mix of fruit & veggies (avoid any kinda oil or fat or bananas & milk)

day 4 - only bananas & milk nothing else

day 5 - u feast on a cup of rice & six tomatoes & 12 glasses of water

day 6 - only veggies & 1cup of rice

day 7 - 1 cup rice, fruit juice and the vegetables you care to consume. Tomorrow morning you will be 3-5 Kgs lighter than 1 week ago.

Things to remember & (strictly) follow during the seven day program:

•No smoking or drinking during this period

•Drink a lot of water during the diet period (minimum of 8 to 10 glasses per day)

•Strictly no oily food or in-between junk food during the diet period

•No tea or coffee during these 7days with milk or sugar, if required u can have a cup a day of black tea or coffee

•No sweet food during the diet period

•Any cooking done needs to have less salt, less oil but can have condiments to make the food taste better

• Do not continue this diet after seven days. This can be done only once in 3months.

•Trust in your diet, it will show you the difference

I can't believe how many people are giving you diet advice!

You do not need to diet or lose weight especially at your age. Your body is doing a lot of changing right now and if you acheived your weight goal you would be unhealthy and underweight. Just stay active and try your best to be comfortable with your body how it is though I know it's hard right now.

What girls don't realize is that any teenage girl is doing well physically. Everything is still supple and full and pointing up. The problem is teenagers only ever compare themselves to teenagers.

At your age you need to just stay healthy by taking part in sports or something. Just eat when you're hungry.

Good luck and stay safe!

You can lose weight gradually as losing 30 lbs of weight in short span of time os harmful. Change lifestyle, eating habits, and do some exercises/ yoga. First of all you do ten sun solutions and there after lye down on floor or hard bed and make zero by rotating your both the legs in clock wise and anti-clockwise direction. Stop taking junk and spicy food, deep-fry food, processed food, ice cream, high fat diets chocolates, sweets, wafers and high carbohydrate food like potatoes, rice and pasta as these items lose nutrition balance and causes deposition of excess fat on body. I have found one ebook which claims to lose 19 lbs weight in 21 days. There are some other site which prescribe combined exercise and diet watch program to lose the weight . You will find the details of above programs & other programs at following website:----

Answer 5

The most effective and best way to lose weight is to do exercises to burn the calories and maintain a proper healthy diet.

You need a good balance excellent nutrition and a weight training program that will work to remove that little bit of extra fat.  There are lots of programs to follow that make it simple.

The combination of exercise and the correct amount of food (types of foods like protein, carbs and fat are not all the same) will help you get the results you want.

I got the last bit off of me with The 'Afterburn Program' from www.coachcosgrove.com, but it may not be suitable for a 14 year old, although it might be!!

Answer 6

dear reggaegirl,

you are not overweight! you are only 14 and your body just started changing! don't mess it up with diets, please! when you get fully physically developed (maybe when you are 18?) then you should decide to go on a diet, but even then - losing 30 pounds, which is one quarter of your present weight!!!, is just too much.

I cannot understand why girls let themselves be deceived that skinny is s**y...it's not! I was a skinny girl in my teens and could not gain weight and I never wore skirts and was ashamed to get in a bikini!!! you should try to be more active, maybe develop muscles and tighten your body so it has a nice shape, but do not try losing weight, please!

Answer 8

To loose weight we have to do regular exercise, yoga and dieting.  

Answer 9

1 hour exercise with a healthy diet!

For Diet:

Choose lean meats and poultry without skin and prepare them without added saturated and trans fat.

Most meats have about the same amount of cholesterol, roughly 70 milligrams in each three-ounce cooked serving (about the size of a deck of cards). The American Heart Association recommends eating no more than six ounces of cooked lean meat, poultry, fish or seafood a day.

    * The leanest beef cuts usually include sirloin, chuck, loin and round. Choose "choice" or "select" grades rather than "prime." Select lean or extra lean ground meats.

    * Lean pork cuts include tenderloin or loin chops.

    * The leanest lamb cuts come from the leg, arm and loin.

    * Remove all visible fat from meat and poultry before cooking.

    * Remove skin from poultry before eating.

    * Choose white meat most often when eating poultry.

    * Duck and goose are higher in fat than chicken and turkey.

    * Grill, bake or broil meats and poultry.

    * Organ meats — such as liver, sweetbread, kidneys and brains — are very high in cholesterol.

    * Cut back on processed meats that are high in saturated fat and sodium.

]

Eat at least two servings of fish each week.

    * Fish can be fatty or lean, but it's still low in saturated fat.

    * Recent research shows that eating oily fish containing omega-3 fatty acids (for example, salmon, trout and herring) may help lower your risk of death from coronary artery disease.

    * Prepare fish baked, broiled, grilled or boiled rather than breaded and fried.

Select fat-free, 1 percent fat and low-fat dairy products.  

    * Minimize your intake of whole-fat dairy products such as butter and whole milk or 2 percent full-fat dairy products (yogurt, cheeses).

    * If you drink whole or 2 percent milk, or use full-fat dairy products, gradually switch to fat-free, low-fat or reduced-fat dairy products.

    * Look for fat-free or low-fat cottage cheese, part-skim milk mozzarella, ricotta and other fat-free or   low-fat cheeses.

Cut back on foods containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oils to reduce trans fat in your diet.

    * Use liquid vegetable oils and soft margarines in place of hard margarine or shortening.

    * Limit cakes, cookies, crackers, pastries, pies, muffins, doughnuts and French fries made with partially hydrogenated or saturated fats

Cut back on beverages and foods with added sugars.

Many snack foods and beverages have added sugars. Cut back on added sugars to lower your total calorie intake and help control your weight. These foods also tend to be low in vitamins and minerals, and the calories add up quickly. Drinking calorie-containing beverages may not make you feel full. This could tempt you to eat and drink more than you need and gain weight.

    * Examples of added sugars are sucrose, glucose, fructose, maltose, dextrose, corn syrups, high-fructose corn syrup, concentrated fruit juice and honey.

    * Read the ingredient list. Choose items that don’t have added sugars in their first four listed ingredients.

Cholesterol, fiber and oat bran

Fiber is classified as "soluble" or "insoluble." When regularly eaten as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, soluble fiber has been shown to help lower blood cholesterol and may also help reduce the risk of diabetes and colon and rectal cancer. The American Heart Association recommends that you eat at least 25–30 grams of dietary fiber — in both soluble and insoluble forms — every day. The more calories you require to meet your daily needs, the more dietary fiber you need. Try to eat at least 14 grams of fiber per 1,000 calories you consume.

Here are some tips to help you add more fiber to your diet.

    * Foods high in soluble fiber include oat bran, oatmeal, beans, peas, rice bran, barley, citrus fruits, strawberries and apple pulp.

    * Foods high in insoluble fiber include whole-wheat breads, wheat cereals, wheat bran, cabbage, beets, carrots, Brussels sprouts, turnips, cauliflower and apple skin.

    * Replace low-fiber foods (white bread, white rice, candy and chips) with fiber-containing foods (whole-grain bread, brown rice, fruits and vegetables).

    * Try to eat more raw vegetables and fresh fruit, including the skins when appropriate. Cooking vegetables can reduce their fiber content, and skins are a good source of fiber.

    * Eat high-fiber foods at every meal. Bran cereal for breakfast is a good start, but try to include some fruits, vegetables, whole-grains and beans in your diet, too.

    * Be sure to increase your fiber intake gradually, giving your body time to adjust, and drink at least six to eight 8-oz. glasses of fluids a day.

    * Read the Nutrition Facts label on all packaged foods that claim to contain oat bran or wheat bran.  Many of these products actually contain very little fiber and may also be high in sodium, calories and saturated or trans fat.

Answer 10

Physical exercise is important for maintaining physical fitness and can contribute positively to maintaining a healthy weight, building and maintaining healthy bone density, muscle strength, and joint mobility, promoting physiological well-being, reducing surgical risks, and strengthening the immune system. Just because you're getting healthy doesn't mean you can't snack. In fact, eating small meals and snacks throughout the day, or grazing, has been shown to aid weight loss, (compared to eating three large meals a day), by keeping metabolism steadier. Pick snacks that are low in calories and fat and high in fiber (dried apricots, nuts, rice cakes, fruits, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, and so on). Vegetables are generally very low in calories, very high in fiber, and full of flavor and nutrition. Generally, you want to - with a combination of calorie reduction and increased activity - reduce and burn a certain number of calories a day, causing a net loss of calories so your body is forced to use its own stores of fat.

Answer 11

You have to watch what you eat (DONT STOP EATING) but , portions are very important. For example a 20oz Coke is actually 2 servings of coke many people will consume it at once, bad idea. Stay away from fried foods,sodas and especially the junk food and chips. Eating Breakfast especially is important and make sure you eat until your full not over eat. Drinks lots of water and make sure you spend 30-45 exercising. Since your in school snack on fruit or something healthy. Stretch Marks are tough to get rid of but cocoa butter is probably the most effective thing I have ever heard to use. Other than that there are some spa's that offer treatment or just look in the lotion isle and there are actualy lotions made to help prevent and hide them. Good Luck and Stick With it , The result are worth the hard work!
