How to loose weight?

Question

I really dont like my body right and I want to loose weight. Can you tel me some fast simple steps. Im only 14 and I have school, homework, etc. Can walking really help you loose weight? If so how much would you have to do? and how much will you loose? I'm half korean and half italian. My mom is korean and she cooks all this korean food. I dont know what she puts in them and it mostly greasy. What should I do? Places where I think I have a lot of fat- my stomach, arms, and hips. <=Can you tell me anything excercises that can help me or any routines?

Answer 1

If you're going into highschool, I would definitely reccomend joining a team. Cross country specifically, because even if you're terrible, like myself, it does amazing stuff to help lose weight. Plus if you exercise and get your heart pumping for 30 minutes every day, it speeds up your metabolism, so the food doesn't sit there for long.

The other really really simple step that I would reccomend, it helped me lose weight before I started highschool is:
Don't eat if you aren't hungry.
Don't eat if you're bored, thats the worst idea.
If you feel hungry, try drinking water first, lots of people mistake hunger for thirst.
If you eat lunch/dinner slowly, you'll find that you're probably full before you finish your food, so stop eating once you're full.
If you're snacky, try fruits and vegetables.

But don't kill yourself on a diet, because diets are proven to not work. 98% of people that go on diets gain all the weight back within a year.

Basically you could eat whatever you want, but only when you are actually hungry.

I hope this helps!

you already have an idea were it is coming from, First change your diet. become more active, eat breakfast and lunch which I eat like it is dinner then dinner something light.(try to eat around the same time so your body will get use to the time it eats that way it would store fat if ou didn't know the body store fat when it don't know when it is going to eat) what ever you choose to eat it needs to be in moderation. each at reasonable times don't eat late at night if you have too eat, eat carrots or something. what I do to CUT my appetite, I make fruit slushies usually with no milk or I would use coconut milk it it needs a sweetener I would use Honey. I freeze the fruit or put cut fruit in blender with water and ice. I would drank about 2 a day. when you are use to eating allot or really larger proportion your body gets use to that, so what I did was eat smaller proportions and drank more fluids and like water and the fresh fruit slushies.

crushes every day running or walking 3 times a day will definitley help. remeber the body starts to burn fat after 20 minutes of a work out. Our brain is an incredible thing, think thin you will became thin, follow you regimen.

Good Luck

1) You don't say how much you weigh and how tall you are so I can't say if you really need to lose weight or not. In this vein, you should see a doctor, he can properly assess whether you're too heavy for your height.

2) You can't spot reduce, weight comes off from all over, so if you want to lose 10 lbs, for example, from your stomach, arms and hips, you may have to lose 30 lbs total which will come from all over.

3) The basic formula isn't rocket science....decrease your intake and increase your output.

4) The final word is SEE YOUR DOCTOR. He will be able to safely assess how much weight you need to lose, or even if you need to lose any at all.

Answer 5

Use what is called the French diet...saw this on Oprah...women in France are much thinner because they eat less and enjoy every meal. They eat their meals slower and in smaller portions. They don't have cravings for certain foods because they enjoy every meal. When you eat your favourite dish one would tend to scarf the thing down and wait for seconds but if it really IS your favourite dish then one small serving is all you need to enjoy it. Don't forget to dine in elegance for your meals so that ENJOY them. Also, they walk to all the places that they need to go. This is more of a psychological way of going about losing weight.

i found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People
How to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.
Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.
This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.
