How can you lose weight fast and easy?

Question

I've been working out with my dad lately, and it seems to be helping a little. But first off, if I'm a 14 year old boy, 170 lbs, and 5' 10"-5' 7" am I even that over weight? I just want to feel comfortable taking off my shirt at the pool or when I get hot.
Thanks,
Max

Answer 1

I HAVE AN EXCELLENT ANSWER

I had that problem too when I was 12-14. I think a LOT of boys do actually. I ended up being 6'4'' and I was very slim by the age of 15. You may not end up that way but here is some advice regardless.

Eat as much as you want. You are still growing and you will likely get taller which will stretch out of round tummy you got there. You could embrace it too. My little cousin is 12, has round belly and wears his belly proudly. He pats his belly at the pool after he eats some hotdogs and says "Gimme 10 minutes and I'll be at it again" and people laugh. They love having him around because he makes the fat people more comfortable. In a few years these days will seem so petty! Don't worry so much about it man.

As far as losing weight fast: Eat ONLY fruits and vegetables for a whole week. CARROTS and CELERY are fantastic. If you don't hjave the willpower to do that then eat FISH instead of beef. Or chicken if you can't find any fish. But definetly eat carrots and celery. Broccoli is good too if u steam it. Good luck and be proud!

Pump some iron. Resistance training, (weight training), can help both sexes stay lean by building muscle and raising metabolism. The fact is, hours and hours of aerobic exercise won't help most people lose weight fast because your metabolism drops back to normal fairly quickly after stopping the exercise. If you gain muscle, however, your body's resting metabolism, (the amount of calories you burn when you're just sitting still), increases, because muscle requires a lot of calories to maintain. Studies have shown consistent weight training to raise the body's metabolism by 15%. This means an average woman might burn 200-300 more calories at rest every day! Resistance training is the gift that keeps on giving! Although, keep in mind that muscle mass weighs more than fat (don't be surprised if you gain weight but look slimmer).

Answer 3

Are you really 5' 10"-5' 7"? We all vary, maybe as much as an inch, between getting up and going back to bed in the evening, but 3" is a lot!
Secondly, there is no way to tell from that much data whether you're overweight or not. What do your doctor, the school nurse, and/or the most intelligent coach at your school say?
Thirdly, the most effective way to get comfortable taking your shirt off is just to do it, whenever you think appropriate. You'll find out that almost nobody cares, and the few who make fun of you are the same ones that would do it for a dozen other reasons--and should be ignored if at all possible. And you just may get one or more who compliment you on how your working out is succeeding!

Answer 4

There's no fast and easy way, bub. Diet and exercise. If you starve yourself, your body will cannibalize your muscle mass first, and you'll be skinny fat... i.e, having no muscle, while retaining a belly because your body thinks its starving.

Find a healthy diet and start working out. You're young, your body will be able to change fairly easy compared to older folks. Now's the time to take advantage of that ability.

Answer 5

Try to drink a lot of water the whole day. If you do that it will clear your body and you'll become less hungry. You still need some food. And if that doesn't work that fast, combine it with cardio exercises.
