I need help losing weight.?

Question

i play basketball, so im usually in shape in season, but out of season i dont know what i can do.

im a teenager and in school

so what are some ways that i could shed a few pounds

like what are some good excercising ideas?

and what types of foods should i start eating?

Answer 1

Yep join the gym for a start and aim to go at least 2-3 times a week. Cut out all the takeaway foods you may eat and replace with healthy. Make sure you drink lots of water too instead of soft drink and even juice because that contains so much sugar. Limit treats to once a week instead of everyday. These are just a few of hundreds of ways to lose weight.

Answer 2

"What types of foods should I start eating?" is the question I will deal with.

You sound like your a physical person so I'm sure you have an appetite to match.  I would recommend that you eat high fiber, low GI (more information on that in the link I've attached) types of food.  That way, you will feel full and satisfied but without the extra calories.

Funnily enough, some of the nicest and best tasting recipes out there are for diabetics (people seem to concentrate on targeting that proportion of the population - and with good reason) so I would suggest that you search on the internet for some yummy healthy recipes (targeted for diabetics).  I have included an example link below.

Most of all, have fun!  Eating is meant to be an enjoyable experience!

Answer 3

I am trying to get to 115 lbs. Right now I'm 118 lbs. I am '5''5'. What I'm doing to lose weight is eating healthier. I have salads. When I want chocolate, I have fruits. And I do Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova every once in a while, and walk on the treadmill. For the information, I'm 12 yrs old. And I do this. I look great right now. MUCH SKINNIER. I hope this helps and makes you lose weight. PLEASE do not become anorexic. Its bad. Hope this helps! :D Good Luck!

Answer 19

When its not in season, you could go for a bike ride. And since basketball is usually the winter sport, the weather should be fine. If its raing I would do 20 sit-ups,20-push-ups, and 50 jumping Jacks. But if the weathers great then go on a bike ride or a walk. See if your freinds will go with you.

Foods you could eat are:

Anything that are healthy. You and I are still growing and need at least 2000 calories A DAY!

Eat lots of fruits and veggies, and have like a sadlad of some sort with dinner every night.

Drink 8 glasses of water every day..

If you drink a ton of pop cut down on that. But not neccasarily give it up.If you drink like 4 cans a day, cut down to like 1 or 2.

Answer 23

well diet and exercise are the main keys..I am working on loosing weight to, so I know it can be hard.  Just remember that one can not go w/ out the other if you want to be healthy and fit. You cant just eat salads, and never exercise..you may loose a little weight, but you will have no muscle tone..and you'll get flabby. You cant exercise every day, but then scarf down a whole pizza either..that kind of defeats the purpose. So just eat healthy (not just salads) lean meats, whole grain breads instead of white..drink more water, and less soda etc..and work out. There you have it.. now I need to follow my own advice lol!
