Can you help me on this one?

Question

Hi everyone! I'm a 5'5 15 year old female and i weight 132 pounds. Can somebody specifically and in detail walk me through the steps of losing 8 pounds in a month please? I'm willing to do it.

Answer 1

OK, 8 lbs in a month is within the reasonable. But you will want to loose 8 lbs of body fat, and not a combination of body fat, muscle, bone density, amount of blood from your system etc... right? Because that is what your weight is composed of. Only a very small percentage is body fat.
To loose only body fat you need to change the way you eat AND start exercising daily. The exercise will prenvent you from loosing muscle and will burn the excess fat, while the proper nutrition will prevent your system from accumulating more body fat on top of the existing one.
First: where does body fat comes from?
It is the body's way of telling you that you are ingesting more energy than you are spending,
whatever is not spent gets stored in the form of fat.
About 90% of the body fat is manufactured from the simple carbs we eat ( Sodas, candy, cookies, pasta, pizza, popcorn, French fries, potatoes or corn ships etc...).
Change those to complex carbs (vegetables, fruits, whole grain breads and pasta etc..)
Eat ONLY about 30 to 40 g of total carbs/ DAY for this one month. It is going to be hard and you will feel hungry. Satisfy you hunger with protein. Protein produces the hormone glucagon, which helps eliminating the sensation of hunger. Good protein comes from fish, meat, poultry, yougurt, cottage cheese (lean), eggs (don't worry about the colesterol scare, it is balony, colesterol comes from eating too many bad carbs).
Get into a bike, fast walk, slow jogging etc.. for 40 to 60 min every day. Rest one day of the week.
Get into the machines of a gym and tone your muscles (toned muscles will burn body fat while you sleep, good deal isn't it?).

Make sure you drink 6 to 8 glasses of WATER (not sodas) everyday, it is needed to eliminate the toxins resulting from fat burning.
Good luck.

Answer 2

You need to learn to do it yourself. Soon you be old enough to drive a car. 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).

You can force your body to lose weight with not enough calories, but if you continue it, you will starve to death. With an abundance of healthy foods, you lose weight just as fast, but only until you reach your ideal weight. You can continue eating this way the rest of your life and always be at your ideal weight.

Answer 3

Eat 6 small but balanced meals per day. Your carbs should be high in fiber and your proteins should be lean. Fats should be sparing but concentrated in the omega 3's and omega 6's.

Here is a healthy foods list and a sample meal plan:

Lift weights because the slight increase in your lean mass will burn extra calories 24 hours per day. This will increase your resting metabolic rate.
Here is a workout that changes weekly:

Use a measuring tape instead of a scale to measure your progress because it is more accurate than the scale.

If you want an even more accurate measurement, get your percentage body fat checked. When combined with your weight, you can estimate your lean mass.

Your lean mass is one of the major factors in your resting metabolic rate (as mentioned earlier), as in your nutrient and caloric requirements.

Here is a link to a caloric requirement estimator for fat loss.
Enter your weight and percentage body fat in the appropriate fields. It will estimate your lean mass and your resting metabolic rate. It will estimate the amount of carbs, protein, and fats to provide a caloric deficit which when combined with exercise, should provide about 2 lbs of fat loss per week.
