weight problem?

Answer 1

Diets are okay and everything, but they can decrease your metabolism, causing your body to conserve fat. What you really need is some long, slow aerobic exercise. Go for at least 12-15 minutes or more per day of walking, jogging, running, cycling, or some other kind of exercise such as these, and don't stop doing this once you get rid of the weight you want to get rid of. Another thing to keep in mind is that weight really isn’t the problem; fat is the problem. Weight and fat are NOT the same thing. Muscle actually weighs almost 7 times as much as fat. So don’t pay too much attention to your weight; instead pay attention to how thin you look and how good you feel.

Answer 2

You need to eat a very balanced diet. As you are not done growing, it could be very harmful for you to cut out any part of your diet. ANYTIME you are trying to lose weight at your age, you should talk to your parents and quite possibly a nutritionist or doctor. It is a tricky thing to try to maintain a healthy weight because you should not be dieting, or you could put yourself at risk for very serious problems. Talk to people you trust [not friends at school, etc., but qualified adults.]; you might be just healthy the way you are. Best of luck, sweetie. :)

Answer 3

Wait. You are probably just on the edge of developing and losing all of the baby fat.

Answer 4

Don't drink slim fast. I just drank one today and its seriously like drinking thick, disgusting, powdery milk. Don't diet either. Working out is a good idea, though.

Answer 5

I think you should, use slim fast, it's all a lie, it doesn't really work. Just wait, It's going to go away.
