Answer 1

dont take pills
its the worst you could do for your body at your age.
if you take pills or stop eating then u might as well kiss chearleading and soccer goodbye. It is not healthy!
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.

Answer 2

Hi doogle, at 13 years old it is not really safe to go on any serious kind of diet, unless of course its approved by your docter. Its good that you are active and Im sure that is helping keep you healthy. If your so active perhaps its a matter of intake.

How much food you eat, what kind of foods you eat. If you are going to have a snack, try to eat fruit or vegetables. Try not to eat anything heavy past 6pm, and try not to eat anything past 8pm period. If you think you eat alot on each sitting, try saving 3 or 4 bites on the plate for each of your meals.

But remember, everyone has a sort of "natural weight" and its hard to move too far from it, especially when your 13-16. As long as you are active and healthy, and arent eating way too much food or really bad stuff. Than chances are you are doing fine. Try to be comfortable with you weight, dont feel like you HAVE to loose weight right now. You are only 13, maybe just try to see if you can keep your weight the same over the next 4-5 years, because you will be getting alot taller.

Stop worring about your WEIGHT.....it is your BMI that is important. It is a measurement of the % fat on your body. When I was running marathons I weighed 145 pounds and was in the best shape of my life. At that time I had a BMI of 13%. Remember that muscle weighs more than fat. If you are concerned go and have your BMI calculated. Your doc or a PT can do this.

Answer 4

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 !
