What gives?

Question

I've been lift weighting at least 20minutes a day and in the past week i've eaten normally what I usually eat or something like it but only replaced Corn with Carrots and I gained a fat percentage in a week. What gives? Is carrots really that bad for me? I am 16(17 in March), weigh 113lbs,5ft 4.5inches tall WAS 23% of body fat but now i'm 24% body fat.

Answer 1

Carrots are good for you. I don't know why you gained a fat percentage...maybe your body is warning your something. I don't know.

Answer 2

Who ever told you Carrots were bad for you is full of it. Carrots are one of the most healthy food you can possibly put in your body. Corn is what is bad for your digestive tract. It can get lodged in the grooves of your intestines, and remain there for years.

Honey you are 16 years old, 5ft4, and 113lbs, you are the perfect size for you, I think the media puts too much on you teenagers about your weight and it makes you beautiful young people turn into thses weight conscience drones that worry more about loosing weight than being happy.

If I never give another piece of advice to you young people about your weight let me say this now.

Don't allow the media to determine who you are. You have to take a stand and say "I am Beautiful the way I am and to Hell with what the worlds thinks about me. Because no one can live my life But me. I have to make me happy, Because I am the only one who will!"

Now with that said. If you are still worrying about your weight. try the following for a month, and I will be willing to bet Money you will see a difference and remember, everything in the world take time to see results
