Same diet that is good for anyone. See site below on healthy foods that help you attain ideal weight and a strategy to help you eat less of unhealthy foods. I am a male and 5'5" and weigh 120 and am slim and muscular. Princess Diana was 5'11" and 125 pounds. Marilyn Monroe (sex symbol) was 5'5" and 117 pounds.
Are your friends 250 pounds so you are skinny compared to them?

NOT EATING IS THE WORST. You will prolly loose 10 pounds the first week if you start eating right. You didnt post how you eat at all. so its kind of hard. If you could walk 1/2 hour a day and maybe eventually lead into working out. ur muscles will eat your fat. High Protein is important. Stay away from white carbs and sugar. I know you dont want to heae this but, You have to understand there is no such thing as a diet. It is a way of life. you will have to continue to eat healthy or you will gain wieght back and become extremely unhealthy.
Well this is important you should be eating at least 5 meals a day. Snacking is bad. If you wanna snack snack on soy beans or sunflower seeds or things with higher protein. you should not eat carbs after 5. This is important. If you are constantly out and running around pack something that you can munch on. or if you can make a sandwich with wheat bread. You could grill chicken for the week and keep it in the fridge. If you like tuna make tuna or chicken salad. Easy on the mayo. But this is healthier things to eat.

Sweetie if you are not satisfied with your body at 5'5" and 130 pounds then no matter how much you loose you will never be satisfied. You need to see a doctor. The thoughts you are wrestling with border on Anorexia. Please be mindful of this.
According to the AMA an 18 year old girl standing 5'5" and having a fine or medium bone structure should weigh 145 pounds AT THE MINIMUM.

How about a healthy balanced diet without processed foods, and with plenty of good stuff!
This part is copied from another post i just did, but i feel it has as much importance here.
If you have the resolve to go on a diet which means depriving yourself of a lot of the foods you like and leaves you unhealthy, why exactly do you not have the resolve to eat healthily and exercise, and even have a cheat day once a week where you can have anything you like in the world to eat?

Weight watchers is the best, but be careful about weight loss, there's a lot of pressure from society to be extremely thin, it's not good, not attractive and just downright not healthy . . the better thing would be to look in the mirror everyday and tell yourself that you are perfect just the way you are, beautiful, confident and desirable, and believe you me, that has absolutely nothing to do with weight . .

I hate to be the bearer of undesirable information, yet your top and weight qualifies as a healthy BMI. in case you think of which you're fat, (which you're surely no longer) and function a situation at the same time with your physique image, i might confer with somebody in guy or woman, no count if it particularly is a determine, a instructor, or a counselor. the indisputable fact which you bruise easily is maximum probable on account which you do not have adequate iron on your food plan. the indisputable fact which you get dizzy once you artwork out potential which you at the instant are not eating adequate energy to help your artwork-out efforts. attempt to talk to a physician relating to the bruising and dizziness earlier you do everlasting injury on your physique. As for "healthy" food plan pills, there are none- each incorporate it particularly is very own hazards, which i individually do no longer think of are well worth it.

I'm an 18 year old guy and I think that at our age, stuff like lots of fruit is good. I think exercise is the best thing to be honest, then you will eat the food that makes you feel good after your exercise, which will be the healthier options. If you exercise, you really cannot stand to eat the wrong foods and they will make you feel sick.
