Answer 1

Are you saying that you want to be different but will not change anything? One tip from below is get enough sleep. 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.

Diet an excersize are the only things you should do. Find a good gym and get a trainer. It will help motivate you. Also try different types of excersize from dance to kick boxing or a pick up basketball game to running. It will make working out more enjoyable. Also eliminate snacking. If you do want to snack choose things like fuits or a power bar. Stop eatting after 10 o'clock at night, that is when your metabolism slows down. If you do need to eat at night eat low fat/ sodium saltines they fill u up and are like 3 cals each. Eat 5 smaller meals a day rather than 3 larger. Make sure your meals are well balance. Always think, I was born with a healthy body and should not take it for granted. That will help keep you from sitting around or stuffing you face!

Answer 3

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter your stats, take 300-400 calories off that number and that's how much you need to lose weight.
5-8servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water a day
5-6 small meals instead of 3 big ones (breakfast is the most important - make sure to get complex carbs like whole wheat bread, oatmeal, fruit etc)
4-6 times a week cardio for 30-50min, light weight training, many reps
no junk food, no sodas, no alcohol, no white flour (cakes, cookies, white bread, pasta etc.), nothing high in sugar (ice cream)

Answer 4

You can easily get to 120 lbs by just not eating after 6pm and drinking a lot(!!!) of water through the day. May be not easy to do, but it works if you strong enough to keep it this way every day. It will not work if you do it skipping some days and eating after 6 pm, then it's much harder to lose weight. Good luck baby! :-)

Answer 5

At the fee you're going, you'll now not have ample power to maintain workout. You will have to definately broaden your everyday calorie consumption to round 1100-1300 energy an afternoon. You will have to nonetheless be equipped to lose wait from workout, and consuming healhty. Remember, it's not going to occur in a single day. You will have to seem at it as a long run travel.

Answer 6

There really isn't anything else. Diet pills don't work, so you'll have to go with diet and exercise. At least just exercise. And 110 is pretty skinny for someone of your height, don't you think?

Answer 7

Drink water!!! In a month, I lost 10 lbs from just drinking water. No caffeine, sodas, or even flavored water. It sucks the 1st week and I got bad headaches from caffeine withdrawls but it got better and it really worked. After that, you really won't like soda much anymore! Good Luck!

Answer 8

Drink LOTS of water!! If you can (hoodia-herbal appetite suppressant) Works great tricking your body into thinking its full. **DRINK WATER "IMPORTANT"** This also will make you less hungry especially before you eat any meal. Do not starve yourself because the body will go into survival mode and you will not make any progress. You just have to consume less calories than you burn. Hope this helps some.

Answer 9

I really think that diet and exercise is all you have to do to lost weight...

Answer 10

that's all you need to do.
