Here's the unfortunate deal that the multi-billion-dollar diet industry makes you think isn't necessarily the only option.

Healthy dieting takes time. If you stick to a food-pyramid diet, around 1500 calories a day, made up of fresh produce, lots of lean protein and high-fiber foods AND exercise daily, you can lose up to 2 pounds a week. If you're an adult.

13 is a different story. First of all, unless your doctor says you are overweight, you should *not* be dieting. Your body is experiencing some major changes and will fluctuate drastically in figure, muscle mass, and fat in the next 5 years or so. Numbers should not be worshiped. Also, even on a good diet and exercise at 13, it may take a lot longer to lose weight. Developing bodies react differently.

If you are going to diet anyway, do NOT eat less than 1500 calories a day. Too much less than that and your body will react, thinking you're starving it, and cause you to *Gain* weight in fat and water weight.

Also, you can tone certain groups of muscles, but working them won't make them lose fat. Your body's genetics tell your body where to put fat, and that varies from person to person: some people have bellies, some have thick arms, it's all genetics. Doing crunches is good for you and will help if you already have a skinny tummy, but it takes diet AND exercise.

If you really want to lose weight, tone up, get fit and live a healthy lifestyle and have a healthy body then you need to do two things. Just two things. They are called EATING HEALTHY AND EXCERCISE!!!!!!!

First of all you have to eat a healthy diet. This doesn't mean go on a crappy fad diet or starve yourself!!! It means that you make sure you eat 4 or even 5 small to medium meals a day. Each meal, apart from breakfast, (preferably fibre rich with fruit) should have a combination of protien (chicken/fish/soya etc), carbohydrates (pasta/rice/potatoes/etc), and vitamins, minerals and antioxidants (fresh fruit and veg). There are many easy ways to incorporate all these into every meal. This also doesn't mean you can never have pizza/takeaway/chocolate/etc, just save them for the occassional treat.

Secondly you do need to EXCERCISE. Cardio excercise is anything that will get you out of breath, your heart rate pumping and you sweating (running, swimming, cycling, etc) and is necessary for burning calories, shedding body fat and improving your overall fitness levels. Strength training basicaly improves the muscles and tones your body, this comes from weight training, core training (sit ups/planks/etc), stretching (such as yoga) and dynamic training. This is necessary to keep your body strong and supple and will also help you lose weight and tone up by increasing your metabolism.

This is only an extremely brief overview, but both of these are necessary to lose weight healthily, keep it off, and have a strong healthy body.
