Answer 1

Here's a serious answer. I hope it helps.

*If want to get fit and/or lose weight, here's my Weight Loss Program through Body Building and Nutrition. It works! First, don't Use Diet Pills. They are bad for you. Most of them are just a scam or they are addictive. Counting calories is a pain in the neck. It will drive you nuts. But, losing weight is simple. You just have to do the right things.
*(If you are older and have not exercised in many years you should see your doctor and have a stress test done to be sure your heart is ok before starting this program. Also, walking eveyday is a good lifelong practice.)
*Fad diets sometimes work but, you can be sure that at least 25% of the weight you lose will be muscle. Then when you stop the diet you will gain back all of the weight you lost but no muscle. So, you will have 25% more fat than you did before! Fad diets just aren't worth the bother.
*Fasting or skipping meals will teach your body that famine is common in your world and your body will begin to store more fat to get you through the next period when food is not available. It's better to eat healthy foods often to teach your body that food is plentiful and that there is no need to store calories as fat. Instead, eat a raw a vegetable or fruit every two hours.
*Here's a simple trick that can help you lose weight without doing anything else. Drink a litre of water as soon as you wake up in the morning and then drink two more throughout the day. You'll notice a difference the first month.
*Here's another trick that works. For every pound of muscle that you add, your body will burn 3000 calories (1lb) of fat every day. That means that just by having an extra pound of muscle on your body you will burn a pound of fat every day! So, add muscle!
*This is the fastest way to add a pound of muscle. Squats and Pushups! You do them on alternate days; squats one day, pushups the next. And you need to do them SuperSlow style. That is, you do the easy part twice as slow as the hard part. That way you fatigue the muscles quickly. Then you
rest the muscles for 48 hours which gives the body a chance to make new muscles.
*Squats should be done with a wide stance and all the way to the floor. Pushups the with palms shoulder width apart and all the way to the floor, then all the way up. Use the full range of motion of the muscle group you are trying to develop. If you are too weak to do pushups, try them with your knees on the floor or do them with your feet on the floor and your hands an the bed.
*The idea is to tire the muscles out completely so do a set of squats until you can't do another, then rest for a couple of minutes and do it again. Do that 3 times and you're done for the day. The following day, don't do squats but do pushups. Do them the same way, going down twice
as slow as you come up.
*You will lose weight fast, unless you add more junk food and fat to your diet. Instead, eat at least 5 to 7 different raw vegetables and fruits every day. Cut out anything that comes in a bag, box, can, bottle or any kind of package. In other words, cut out all processed foods, soft drinks(unless it is freshly squeezed juice) and sweets. Eat more grains and less red meat. Check out the
Food Pyramid.
*If you really want to give your body the best possible chance to be
healthy and fat free, go to infinity2.com and order their weight loss
formula and Essentials for Life. That will give you all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and probiotics that your body needs and will keep you feeling better and healthier. They also have a Proteabolic Mass Formula for serious athletes who want to build muscle mass quickly and safely.
*Weight loss without exercise is not good. You need to eat healthy, exercise and get your rest. You will feel better, look better and be healthier. Try it for two weeks. You will notice a difference. You will feel better and that will motivate you to continue.
*Losing weight only in specific areas of the body is impossible. You can't just lose weight around the belly, for instance. So, if you want
tight, rippled abs, do crunches and leg raises every other day the way I described above.
It might also be a good idea to avoid the scales for a while once you begin this program. Avoid them for a couple of weeks. Don't focus on the number, but on how you feel. Then after you're feeling better and motivated, check your weight and you'll be surprised!
*One last point, stretching is essential for a number of reasons. Pick up a copy of ''Stretching'' by Bob Anderson. Read the intro and understand his reasoning before you do the exercisis. Good luck!

Answer 2

First of all, you need to lose the weight for yourself and not because of a BOY. It can be a motivator for sure, but boys will come and go. If he doesn't like you for who you are, then he's a "Shallow Hal" (from the movie), and you need to move on to someone else who will accept you for you.

Second of all, GOOD FOR YOU for recognizing the need to be healthy at an early age. This will take you through the rest of your life and you will live longer and have less illness and disease.

Third of all, there is a website called 3hourdiet.com. They have a link for teenagers. Very simply, by eating every three hours, your metabolism speeds up and you lose weight quickly. Sounds crazy, I know, but just check out the people on the website. Of course, there are guidelines of what you can eat, but I was surprised by the menu choices, like Mickey D's and Booger King and Del Taco.

Well, good luck to you, and have fun with the girls at camp and forget the guys! You don't need a guy's acceptance or approval for you to think you're a worthwhile person and special. That comes from within. You're a winner, and you should know that.

Answer 3

you could do the atkins diet and it would work...but at 13 1/2 you're too young to be worry about what you weight. 150 might not be a lot depending on your height. This boy is not worth starving yourself for. Shoot for a more realistic, healthier goal of 10-15 lbs by eating sensibly and running every day.

Answer 4

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, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)
