My sister needs to lose 20 pounds and shes got 10 months to do it?

Question

hello my sister asked this question , she's 5 ft and 4 in. She's an 11 year old girl and she weighs 125 pounds, shes said she really wants to be thin because shes got flubber and she said wide legs, she wants to lost 20 pounds in 10 months (in 10 months summer camp starts so she wants to looks nice) and it would really do her good. I don't want any answers saying, shes a young girl and she doesn't need to lose weight. This is what she wants and I want to help :). We go to the gym mostly everyday on treadmill and such. She's trying not to eat after 6 . So what would be a good diet thing for her? we got cardio CD's if that helps, how should she eat, exercise and such to lose 20 pounds in 10 months or less. thanks so much I really apperciate it. no rude comments please. thanks

Answer 1

The best thing to do is cut back your intake of calories by 20% usually means about 400-500 calories per day this with exercise will make you lose around 1 pound per week, this is also the recommended way to lose weight because it is not too fast or too slow, and make sure the food you eat isnt junk food, fruits, veggies,whole grains and lots of fiber

Answer 2

The best thing for her age is to stay active as much as possible, have a balanced diet, and get adequate sleep. Being active means that she needs to stay active and avoid being sedentary because even low intense exercises, such as house chores, burn a lot of calories. For a weight loss diet, refer to the food pyramid, but make sure she eats a little less than what is recommended because it's established for 2,000 calorie diets. Lastly, sleep helps keep your metabolism up to par. People who lack sleep generally crave high calorie foods to compensate for the energy not gained from a good nights sleep. Avoid the "don't eat after six" unless if she is sleeping before nine. It's okay if she snacks on low calorie foods such as fruits and vegetables after that time. Remember, she needs to burn 3500 calories to lose a pound.
