First off, if you do eat desserts, eat them before meals. Second, don't go on any stupid fad diets. They put you on a cycle of gaining and losing weight and long-term obesity. Eat sensible, balanced meals, heavy on the vegetables.
Starvation diets cause you to gain weight. I've known quite a number of people who have become quite obese from reduced calorie diets, several of whom lost a great deal of weight by doubling their calorie intake.
High protein diets do sometimes work, but they continue to kill people. If you drink enough water, they are less damaging to the liver and parathyroid while damaging the kidneys.
If you want to lose weight and keep it off, eat at least three meals a day, preferably six small meals and get regular exercise.
You can eat as much as you want for breakfast, ask those calories will not turn to fat as long as you don't eat a lot of refined sugar. Your breakfast should be high in protien, and your dinner should be high in complex carbohydrates such as rice or pasta. A high vegetable diet with no sugar is the healthiest. However, people were not designed to live off of a completely vegetarian diet any more than they were designed to eat nothing but meat.
So the short answer is, eat a good, balanced diet with protien in the morning and carbohydrates at night and exercise. Be warned, however, that diet sodas and artificial sweeteners will make you gain about 15 pounds, and if you consume them now, and stop, you will probably lose those pounds. You also need plenty of calcium to lose weight.

The bad thing about being around 15 is that you still have alot of baby fat that seems pretty hard to lose. Don't do any fad diets or anything unhealthy to yourself, just stay active and eat sensible but don't deprive yourself while you're still young, I'm 22 now and i wish i had the metabolism of a 15 year old, and i doubt everyone is thinking you look like a fat ugly cow, we are our harshest critic.

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a fitness calculator that you can put on your cell phone and computer. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water.
Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d
*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.
Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with excellent resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter.
A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.
*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com
Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier. Email me if you want a good indoor air purifier recommendation and if you have other questions.

Treatment for Excessive Fat and Weight :-
PHYTOLACCA BERRY's Mother Tincture is perhaps the safest and sure fire way of loosing excessive fat around abdomen. With Phytolacca Berry once you loose the excessive fat and weight you don't get it back because you body takes care of itself after that and keeps you from gathering up excessive fat. It is prescribed after having a baby too, to get the tummy to loose its flab and to make it flatter and tighter. And after loosing weight with this you don't get flabby it tightens up the flab and skin along with helping your body to shed the excessive accumulation of fat around the girth
The dosage is 15 to 20 drops of the tincture in half a cup of hot water thrice a day half hour before or after meals.
Avoid Chocolates, Coffee, Mints, Red Meat and Carbonated and Alcoholic drinks while taking Homeopathic Medicines. You have to take it for at least 30 to 45 days after that you start to feel the results.
To the best of my knowledge its the safest and the most sure fire way of loosing fat and weight and keeping it of for keeps. Excellent remedy for Obese people who cant seem to shed weight despite trying.
Homeopathic Remedies can be found at all Major Herbal Stores or could be bought on line, In most of the world Homeopathic remedies are quite cheap and easy to find and they do not need a prescription.
Take care and God Bless !
