Answer 1

Another human is correct about carbs. Nourish your body thin, instead of starving your body fat. Good carbs like celery and carrots will never make you fat. Bad carbs like cake will, but you don't need to know the whole science of glycemic load. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin and healthy. Salt has no calories but makes you fat and burning more calories does not help this fatness.

Find out about fastest way to lose weight, most effective exercise, good and bad fats, water retention and secret trick used by models to flatten their tummy before an event. Reading a book will take you hours but the information on a post, taking minutes to read, is not enough. The webpage below has just enough to know what you need to know. Links page has gov. BMI calculator to find out just how much overweight you are (teens plug in your age to compare to others your age).

My dad does low carb a lot, carbs tend to bother him, but he usually makes stirfry (sp?) Basicly he puts a bunch of vegetables and meat in a skillet and cooks it and eats it just like that. I heard that you can get low carb wraps but you may want to avoid those. Basicly I think you want to avoid breads.

If you find that you are hungry between meals, I suggest drinking a glass of water and waiting 30 minutes, if you're still hungry you're truely hungry but if you're not you were thirsty. Also, even when on a diet you need exercise try taking a 30 minute walk every day or doing something fun like Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) if you have a playstation or are near an arcade. Toning your body by going ot the gym and lifting weights and working out on the machines is a good way to shape your body.

where low carb diets are a quick weight loss considering you lose mostly water weight, they are not good however for the long haul, since you are doing it for a special occasion, high protein is your only option, I suggest cottage cheese (low fat, one serving about 6 carbs, 11 protein, under 90 calories) and you can get your dairy from that, also cheese, eggs, and low carb tortillas are good too. A good website to try is http://ivillage.com, there you can find some helpful info on diet and exercise, also some healthy low carb recipies!

Take 2 tbls. apple cider vinegar in a glass of water before a meal. Curbs your appetite so you will eat less. When we overeat, its because we need vitamins and minerals. ACV has 9i3 of them.
