Answer 1

Lets be real, teens don’t like to eat healthy. I know, I have 2 teen children. If you don’t remove or minimize the essential elements of a teen diet, soda, sweet or salty snacks, fast food, and sweets then your chance at losing weight goes down.

Teens do have an advantage, their metabolism is much faster, so they can burn off what they eat faster. Unfortunately what they eat can slow it down because there are some things that the body just cant rid itself of fast enough.

You are a teenager so it’s easier for you to be active. Don’t spend your time in front of the TV all the time, get out and do something, you know move around. Don’t think some miracle is going to save you from your obesity problem, its not. You are the only one who can make a difference.

How do teens lose weight? The body loses about 2 pounds a week optimally and that’s 2 pounds that stay off. If you are committed then you should reach your goal.
You are now at an age where your metabolism is peaking. Primarily what you need to do is get up and move. You should not be taking any diet pills, solutions or anything thats not prescribed by a doctor because in your teens your body is changing and growing rapidly. What you need to do is:

1. Limit junk foods. I have a 12 year old daughter, and her idea of a balanced meal is chicken nuggets, fries and sprite. Do you see where Im going with this? 4-6 servings of fruit and vegetables a day before you can have junk food.

2. Drink enough water. Probably between 40-50 oz per day for you. Water helps to keep your metabolism optimized, and allows your body to continue growing lean muscle tissue, not fat.

3. Be active. Even if you dont play sports you need to be active everyday. Sitting in front of a computer or TV from the time you gets home till you go to sleep is not good. When you can you need some time of recreation activity.

4. Vitamins are something that could help as well. They are inexpensive and easy to take. They even have liquid vitamins or the gummy vitamins (my daughter loves) for people who hate pills.

5. Sleep is something many young people dont like to do. Their minds are overstimulated by so much going on around them, but sleeping and allowing the body to rest, also helps to build lean muscle tissue. When you sleep the body repairs and rebuilds itself. Plus if you are active you will want to sleep more.
I hope this helps, I have worked with many kids your age and the ones who are more active had fewer health problems as they grew up.

Answer 2

If I were you I'd get some friends together, and join a gym. This way, you wouldn't be alone, you could have fun with your friends, and work out at the same time. Maybe a personal trainer would benefit. Also, make sure your diet includes many fruits and vegetables, protein, and reduce on fats and carbs. Instead of eating 3 big meals a day, try and eat 5 or 6 small, healthy ones. This way you won't finish eating feeling full, but satisfied and energized. To help flatten your stomach, I would do ab workouts like crunches, and if you're in school and can't exercise, just suck in your stomach repeatedly and it will eventually tighten your abdominal muscles. Good luck!

Answer 3

I'm the same age as you, and I'm 5'1. My Dad is over 6ft and my Mom is 5'6. My brother is 21 and he's 5'7, which I guess means that we got my Mom's side of the genes and we're short. I highly doubt I'd grow taller than 5'3. Just watch what you eat. Have a lot of calcium, vegetables and fish which can help with growth but it's mostly genetics which determine how tall you are. Since you just turned 15, there's still time which means theres a chance you can grow taller. Just give yourself time.

Answer 4

I do pilates and after just a month I saw a difference in my shape. I bought DVD's at Walmart for maybe 5 bucks and they are only a half hour each session. They really do give you a workout, even though it doesn't feel like it when you are actually doing the sessions. It's easy, and its fun because it doesn't take much time out of your day.

And drink lots of water! That really helped me to lose some extra weight. It helps make your body more efficient. Eat things with fiber, (ie. wheat bread instead of white, whole apple, vs. apple juice). It takes more energy to digest and keeps you feeling full longer.

Answer 5

What is wrong with these people answering questions? Do they know anything about anything? 5'6" and 160 is not a simple do situps do cardio. Change your diet totally, do TONS of cardio, yoga, pilates, RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN!!!! Drink like... 196 ounces of water a day, heck, see a nutritionist. SIT UPS ARE POINTLESS! they just build the muscle under the fat.Take Niacin. It speeds up your metabolism. And... uhm... drink water.
