losing weight?

Question

i need tips for a 11 year old boy that needs to lose 40 pounds in 3 months

Answer 1

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:)

Answer 2

Do the proper combination for him.

1. carboyhdrates and veggies
2. fish, chicken and veggies

Start him on a detox in the morning with fruits only. No breakfast.

For lunch do any of the above combination.(serve him a fruit 15 minutes before lunch)

(serve him a fruit 15 minutes before dinner)
For dinner, do any of the above combination.

Yes he can do aerobic forms of exercise like jogging and swimming. A recommended 10 minutes starter for the first two days followed by a 20 minutes exercise the following 4 days, follow through with a 20 minutes jog in the morning and another 15 minutes jog in the evening. Remember that he is only a child, dont go too vigorous for him.

Drinking 8 full glasses of water on a daily basis is recommended.

Cut the following:

Diary products(milk, cheeze, butter etc), cut nuts, potato chips you get the drift. Subsitiute with bananas or strawberries for snacks.

You should look at his inch loss as well, dont just concentrate on weight, once he is noticeably thinner with physical outlook, you can adjust the diet portion.

hope this helps")


Remember that the body reacts to exercises by bloating initially, so dont give up within the 3 weeks as the body is changing shape and detoxing.
