Question

I need help, Im running and everything but i've gained weight..

any advice on what I should eat, and what I shouldn't??

Answer 1

Your probably making muscle. Muscle weighs more than bone so that could be the reason why your gaining weight. Also, your probably still a growing kid.

If you want to lose weight, the key is to burn more calories than you take in. to do that, exercise and a healthy diet are the things you need to do. For a healthy diet, you should be eating 6 small meals a day. A breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, and a dessert. When you have 6 meals a day it keeps your metabolism up and is actually healthier to eat more. But, the meals should be mostly healthy, but for dessert give yourself a nice treat every once in a while. For exercise, you need to make sure you don’t overdue it. A good exercise I enjoy doing is Pilates for weight lose. You can buy that DVD at target. It works great. Also, you can run, power walk, do crunches, sit-ups, a sport, swim, an exercise ball and just having your heart pumping and making u sweat is when u no the workout is working. You can even walk to get your mail at your mailbox, climb stairs, and even walk from room to room and it is a workout.  Keep doing this and you will see results. Also, if you want to build muscle lift weights. But just remember that muscle weighs more than bone so if u get rid of fat and end up getting muscle, you will gain more but still look good! Hope I helped!!! Thx! (:

Answer 2

It's possible you're gaining muscle, which is a good thing. Muscle weighs more than fat, so yes it will cause your weight to go up. You should go by your BMI and your measurements, not the scale.

Answer 3

How long ago did you start running, how often do you run, and how much weight did you gain? Your age and weight would help too.

Answer 4

when you run and like do more activity, it make you hungry so you tend to intake more calories.. you will prob burn it off though. also it could be muscle mass, since muslce weighs more than fat

Answer 5

eat healthy and exercise before eating anything.
