Losing 5 - 10 pounds healthily.?

Question

I'm 5'7 and about 120ish. I have a smallish frame, so I carry this weight somewhat heavy, if that makes sense. I'd like to get down to 110 - 115. How would you suggest doing this, because I'm 13 (almost 14), and don't want to damage my health at all.

Any diet/exercise/eating habit suggestions are welcome.

Answer 1

Since you aren't looking to lose a ton, try some light cardio, like aerobics, biking, jogging, nothing too intense.  If you want to lose it fast, do some running.  The longer distance you can go without stopping, the better.  Make sure to eat the good kind of carbs, like whole grains and plenty of fruits and veggies.  Eat leaner protein like egg whites or eggs with only part of the yoke, fish, chicken (not fried, and try to go skinless), turkey, stuff like that.  Also, 5 or 6 small meals rather than just two or three bigger ones.  It all helps!  Good luck!

I am doing this for 5 days... It WORKS!

This is one of natures most under rated foods, yet its importance should not be ignored. So what is this food?

APPLES!

Read on and you will see just how good they are for you and how they can help lose weight when incorporated in ANY diet.

Apples why they help you lose weight!

It is also well known to farmers that apples should NOT be fed to their pigs, as it satisfies them, and they eventually will not gain the desired weight.

This “secret” also applies to people, and not only will the apple help a dieter lose weight, it has amazing health benefits as you will see below.

Apples are full of goodness and protect against disease

Continuing research suggests that eating apples regularly may reduce the risk of various cancers, such as colon, prostate, and lung. Furthermore, eating apples regularly appear to aid those with heart disease and cholesterol problems.

But that is not all.

There is a group of chemicals in apples could protect the brain from the type of damage that triggers such neurodegenerative diseases as Alzheimer's and senile dementia.

Amazingly the apple phenolics (naturally occurring antioxidants) and found in fresh apples, protects nerve cells from neurotoxicity. An apple a day can indeed, “keep the doctor away”.

A Fantasitc source of fibre to satisfy hunger

In dieting however, the apple appears unequaled as a source of dietary fiber, moisture, micro-nutrients, vitamins (see table at end of this article), and its flavor is well-known to be satisfying as to assist with our appostat reaction (the neurological reaction that tells our body to STOP eating).

The secret is simple, effective, safe and beneficial beyond your expectations.

You will eat less, you will see the kilos melt away, and your health will improve.

Further, from the Materia Medica, it is stated that the apple is a heart protector, it lowers blood cholesterol due to its pectin content, it lowers blood pressure; it regulates blood sugar; and apple juice kills infectious viruses; strengthens the nerves; acts as liver tonifier and a blood purifier.

No other fruit has so many qualities.

More than that, natural remedies (since recorded history) suggest that eating apples can cure (or assist the body to cure) the following:

jaundice and other bilious conditions, indigestion, diarrhea, constipation; atherosclerosis, hypotension; gout, arthritis; skin eruptions; anemia and lymphatic system disorders.

For the dieter, this is the ideal food.

Answer 4

When  losing  weight,  you should follow the dual course: exercise and

diet  together.  If  you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger

appetite,  which  will  lead  to  increase  of  weight, or muscle grow

underneath  the  fat  layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without

exercising,  you  will  become  flabby  and will have excess skin. For

diet,  go  wheat  free.  No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food

after  7  p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on

your  initial  weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If

you  don't  eat  wheat then you don't eat all those sticky, fatty goey

cakes,  you  don't eat junk food, and you don't eat biscuits. But your

diet  is  still  balanced.  It  costs  nothing, and you do not have to

calculate  points  or  to  buy special meals or plans. For exercising,

start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the

most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a

lot,  walk  first  or you may have health complications (heart attack,

disjointed  bones and so on) For targeting your problem areas, check up

these  Workout  Exercises  :  Weight Training, Plyometrics , Stretches

(Flexibility),  Pilates,  Ball, Cardio Dumbbells, Cables etc. 100's Of

Exercises.  They  have animated photos, so it's easy to understand how

to do them. http://www.myfit.ca/exercisedatabase/exe...
