Answer 1

all fad diets are dangerous. Just do some diet and excercise. If you stop drinking pop and drink water and walk everyday you would be amazed at how much weight you can lose.

Answer 2

Fad diets, definetly can help you lose weight. The bad this is, fad diets are temporary fixes. And usually unhealthy ones. I would stay away from any drink that says it can help you lose weight just by drinking it, because they probably mean dehydration. A low-fat or whatever diet would probably work. I usually just restrict my calory intake. But beware, if you lose to much weight too fast you will lose your period. My advice, if you want to keep the weight off, and not gain it back the next week. Try a lifestyle diet, like making it part of your daily routine to run, and having dried fruit instead of potatoe chips. Except for special occasions. But do realize, this will take longer to work, but the results are better.

Answer 3

at fourteen you just need to change how and what you eat. stop fast foods, fried foods, potato chips, candy, pop, chocolates, more veges, more fruits, more peanuts, more water, more, healthier foods. and add more exercise. you are young. you can run some play some sort of sport woman sport in school or tennis, anything you like. swimming, cheerleading, any kind of activity you will see the weight come off if you put the other foods down. fad diets are just that fads. not good!! diets are temporary, they only help if you maintain a good eating habit.

Make sure to click on teen advice. Diets do not work. 99% of people gain the weight back. Here is how it works. No one teaches the animal what to eat and what not to eat. He knows instinctively what to eat. Humans also have the same instinct. The way it works is just eat whatever tastes good and that will be healthy for you and non-fattening. That is why a baby tastes everything. So again whatever tastes good, is good for you. This is why you will spit out spoiled milk.

But wait!!! Man has the technology to create rat poison. It tastes like healthy food (good taste) but kills the rat. So man has done that to you. Note- any food unaltered by man (uncooked) that tastes good, is good for you. So if you are stranded in the woods, that is how you know what to eat (cooking changes that). So man has created fake fruit. It tastes like fruit that exists in nature but it is terrrible for health, addictive and fattening called sweets.

So it is natural to like real sweets called fruit, like a baby does, but they have fooled you just like the rat. But they do not want to kill you. They want you to become obese so you will buy lots of their foods. This is called GOOD BUSINESS. Remember the above (not on site) and see site below to re-learn how to eat so you can be thin and fit for life.

i agree with tamara. check out www.calorie-count.com. it's free and i joined a few days ago. you will be amazed by the amnt of calories you consume in a day... no wonder i can't lose any weight even though i work out all the time.
my personal feeling is that it's 75% diet (as in proper nutrition) and 25% exercise.
