Don't drink soda. Seriously, wipe it out of the diet, replace with water. Drink milk. Don't skimp on protien, avoid "white" foods, like white bread, white potatoes, white rice. Buy groceries that are on the perimeter of the store - produce, meats, dairy. Don't eat packages meals - even the ones in the frozen section with veggies in them, even the "South Beach Diet" meals or whatever is out there. You need calories, you're still growing, starving to try to spot reduce won't work, and can compromise other muscle you do have. Do cardio. Good luck

I have a 13 year old son and have been dealing with this same question over the past few weeks. We decided to cut out all the junk food, and focus more on fruit, veggies, lean meat, etc. You need to realize that at this age your body will continually change. You NEED calories in order to grow and develop properly. It's also not a good idea to work out too much at this age....if you are lifting weights, you could hurt your growing bones. I know this because my son lifts weights and we talked about it with his pediatrician. I'm not even sure that your body is mature enough to develop abs. Talk to your parents, your doctor, your coach. They will be able to lead you in the right direction!!!! Good Luck!!!!

Eat less than what you are using everyday. Eat more vegetables and fruits (fibers). Avoid eating too much fatty food. Avoid fast foods.
Go to the gym and see a physical trainer and let him know what you want to achieve and overtime, you will get what you want.

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
The correct way to burn fat and stay healthy is to burn more calories than you consume
You need to make sure you are eating healthy foods while still excercising
If you have a big appetite drink plenty of water so that you will feel full but not consume calories
But you should always eat
If you start to skip meals you will only be more hungry at your next meal and probably eat way too much
Remember, the average persons stomach is as big as a slice of pizza scrunched up into a ball
So you shouldnt be putting more food into your stomach than what fits
Also, it takes aproximately 15-20 minutes for your brain to realize that you are full
so eat slower and you will realize sooner when you are not hungry anymore
ALSO....
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.
