Answer 1

i've been wrestling for 4 years, what i use to drop pounds is eat straight protein and fruits....dont touch anything with carbs in it. exercising helps of course. or you could go on the classic starvation diet, ricecakes and water. when you eat those and drink the water the rice expands making you think that you're full. try it

YOU are KILLING YOURSELF!!! Dont' let anyone tell you that carbs are no good as they are what is used for energy and you have to have energy to live and get down the road. Drink lots of water but use a lot of fruits and veggies, raw for the most part and add a few nuts and grains in for your protein. Leave off the high fat meat and you will be much better off but make it a lifestyle change or you will gain it all back and then some when you get off your "diet". If you doubt what I am telling you, look at the Asian population and ask yourself where are the fat ones? Unless you find one that has been on the typical American diet of the high fat, high cholesterol diet, you will find a slim, trim person that eats almost nothing but carbs. Rice is carbs, my friend. They eat an abundence of rice and then add some veggies and a few nuts for the protein and I would challenge you to find anyone that would be stronger or live longer. When you eat the meats, you slow your system and if you find a true athlete that knows anything about nutrition, you will find that when you need energy and lots of it you eat lots of carbs and very little protein or it will slow you down. those that need more strength and energy will go for mainly the carbs for the energy and very little protein. check out the site below as this is the address of a doctor that can direct you from a medical point of view what is best and he can tell you if what I am telling you is correct. Dont' try to lose so much so fast. When you do that, your body just shuts down and goes into survival mode so when you start to eat again, you gain back what you lost and then some to make sure you don't starve next time. Slow and easy is the key.

How old are you? You sound pretty immature, making 2 weeks assessments, eating crappy food and probably not making the difference between body fat loss, muscle mass gain and huge water/food/waste fluctuations (get rid of your scale if you don’t know what it means). I can tell you for sure that during the first 2 weeks, your weight loss is NOT body fat loss…maybe heavy water weight if you sweat but do not rehydrate properly. You “gained a little weight this year”? Maybe you’re younger than 21 and need to gain your usual 3 to 5 pounds of LBM while growing into an adult body. You’re eating a lot? Maybe you’re getting ravenous because you’re riding a growth spurt…as long as you don’t think you’re binging and having an ED. Hopefully your goal is not to “lose weight on some scale” while growing and stunt your growth.

The best way to lose weight and maintain it is gradual reduction of calories with increase in physical activity. Water is good to drink, so keep drinking it. However, you got to make sure that you still consume all your nutrients and vitamins, such as calcium and iron, potassium and vitamins A, B12, C, D,...etc. I suggest that you go to the website at the source to help create a personalized diet plan, and I hope that you seek some professional help from your doctor, school nurse, or a registered dietitian. Good luck!

I believe the best way to lose weight (and do so safely), is combined diet and exercise. Walking, swimming, bike, etc...Subsitute high fatty foods for something more healthy, yet is still appetizing. If your body feels like it is starving or being punished, you might mess up on your diet. You have to reward yourself from time to time or you'll be miserable. The key is to burn more than you take in. By starving yourself, you'll be losing more water weight than actual fat. That's why you allow yourself to eat (energy/healthy choices), and exercise to burn fat. Find a walking buddy to stick to your routine. The way I look at it is, " it took me a while to put it on, it'll take a while to get off." I didn't put on all this weight overnight, so I can't expect it to disappear too quickly. Consistency is the key. It'll take hard work, but it'll pay off. When you see results, it'll give you all the more motivation to keep at it. If you mess up a bit, don't be too hard on yourself. Remind yourself the reasons why you want to lose this weight. Hopefully, for yourself. Best wishes! I'm cheering you on, but don't be too hard on yourself.

u gotta eat well and have a healthy lifestyle. starving urself/ taking pills will decrease your body's ability to function the way it should. sooner or later your body will shut down. trust me.... take care hun....

Yikes! Print up what you just said. Go to "the office" at your school. Hand it to "the nurse," and get her advice. Meanwhile, read Men's Health magazine (if you can't afford it, look for it at the library). It would help you with your project. (Please overlook any adult content.) Good luck!
