Answer 1

First of all you are not at all overweight. But if you want to shed a few pounds do cardio exercises and eat healthy with VARIETY. Cardio exercises include running, jogging, biking, or boxing. Pick the one you like the best and stick with it. Do not starve yourself eat a variety of foods but eat healthy. This entails eating fruits, veggies, carbs, meats, dairies, and fats. Just limit the amount of fats. Eat healthy and stay fit and you will be happy with your body no matter what your weight.

Answer 2

Properly diet by eating healthy food choices! Avoid "starches" such as bread,rice,potatoes and baked goods. Limit your sugar intake as well-You don't need all those empty calories! Eat until you are contented,not until you are full. The hunger feelings will only last about half an hour,or until your body has been satisfied with food. And you don't really have to eat alot to satisfy it! Try more healthy snacking-as opposed to Large Meals...and drink alot of water too! It would not hurt to also incorporate some Light Abdominal Exercises as well. They do not have to be hard or painful excercises,just enough to work the muscles around your tummy! Go peddle a Bike,or even a leisurely walk would assist also. Key word (Stay Active). For your Height and Size,I would not recommend that you lose any more than 15 pounds. That would put you reasonably close to your "ideal" body weight and mass! Also try drinking Citrus juices...that have no added sugar! (ie) Grapefruit,Orange etc. It will take abit of time before you see results,but do not get discouraged...this is quite normal! And your body needs the time to make adjustments...before shedding off any excessive fat! Also,while dieting...you should get yourself a good Multi-Vitamin supplement like Centrum! Good Luck!

Ur tummy isn't that big u know... Anyway, since u're still 13, it's better if u have lots and lots of exercise... And btw (in case u don't know, it means by the way), My mom once said that when u want to lose some weight, not eating when u're not hungry isn't really a good move coz sometimes, I forgot why, but it can make u fatter instead... U can also try being taller, that way, u won't lose weight but u'll lose u're tummy. Oh, and one more thing, try to have a balanced meal, not too much food if u don't really need it... And also, don't eat snacks while u enjoy watching TV too often. If none of these stuffs I said worked on u, try seing a doctor instead... OK?? Gbu...

Hey I completely understand. When I was 13 I felt the same even though I was skinny. I am 15 now and love my body. I eat whatever I want but I work out for 30 - an hour a day. I think a diet would be wise also. Try to limit the sugar and salt. Hope I helped. By the way I think your body is good. But I understand not liking it.

Answer 5

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried - no junk food.

Answer 6

Eat watermelon in the morning instead of your normal breakefast...in-addition to doing 20 situps before each
meal.

Answer 7

go to a doctor and ask him her to give you a diet, at that age you need someone to tell you what is important for you or not, you are still developing your body and growing up so he will be the best one to tell you what to eat and what not to eat and what kind of exercise will be good for you.
