There is no diet that affects specific areas. You also shouldn't "diet" while you are young. Cutting down on sweets, fats, sodas, etc. I'm sure will be fine and being active instead os sedintary. You shouldn't use heavy weights until your bones are developed. You should ask your doctor if you are still too young to join a gym. In the meantime get something like a thigh master. Btw, your answer to my question wasn't really appropriate, but now I understand since you are a young teen. I hope you never have to deal with anything like cancer in your life. You might try to learn how to be more sensitive in the meantime. Good luck...

It's always a good idea to be physically active or join a gym no matter your age. If you want to tone up, that's the best way. It's better to work forwards than work backwards at that.. In saying this, I mean that before your muscles become older, more tired and slack you should begin. The sooner, the better. It's much harder to start at age 35 to get that body you've always wanted. Not only that, studies have proven that the risks of cancers, osteoarthritis etc. in women are much more reduced if exercise and healthy eating habits begin before early 20's.

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 diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, set goals, 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 potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/carbohydrates.html

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 resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/

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.

Homeopathic 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.

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 !

Get up and out and move
Walk, run, stairs, bike, swim, jump... get up get out and move
you could try an aerobics class or rent some dvd's from the library to see what you like - maybe pilates, or yoga, or ball exercises...
start at the beginning and the advances will come and don't worry about seeing immediate results, be patient and 'walla your body will be transformed.

Exercise and cutting out the processed foods will help greatly !! and is worth it

Does your school have a wieghtlifting class? Mine did and it was great for me. Don't freak if it doesn't happen right away these things take awhile. As for dieting, just eat healthy foods, such as fruits and vegetables and small portions of meat.

You should take a martial art trial class and if you like it you should sign up. It is healthy for you and makes you fit (everywhere). Go to your nearest rec center to make this happen. It happened for me so it can happen for you.
