My mom lost 30 pounds in 3 months with this. She did NO EXERCISE.
Therefore, if you do this...plus a proper exercise program, you should be able to take off those pounds in time. Also, drink 8-10 cups of water daily.

Answer 2

Drink plenty of water. No pop, shakes, juices, etc. Juice isbetter than diet soda, but fresh fruit is much better than just the juice.

Don't skip meals. Cut out sugar and processed foods. Nothing deep-fried, no junk foods.Stick with salads, veggies, fruits, whole grains (oatmeal), legumes (beans), meat, cheese, eggs... in balanced portions.

Above all -- exercise! This is the fun part. REALLY!! If you haven't found an exercise you enjoy, keep working at it anyway and keep trying new exercises or sports.

Turning off the tv and computer will also help. Find physically active pasttimes. Even playing board games or solitaire (with a deck of cards) burns more calories.

Remember that it's not the number on the scale that matters, but how your body looks and feels. Go by the fit of your clothes. As you gain muscle tone you may not show a loss on the scale. Even though you get rid of flab and fat, muscle weighs more per square inch. It's much better to be a solid, slim and fit 135, than a flabby 125.

Keep in mind realistic goals. What the media portrays as normal is for from it. Check out these airbrushing examples:

FIT is better than THIN any day!

PS, Atkins myth vs reality http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com ; I'm not on Atkins, but I know several doctors who speak highly of it as a longterm lifestyle change; not for just quick weight loss and going back to bad habits.

Answer 3

find daily calorie intake 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 - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) 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, pasta 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 4

the first says that it worked for his mom.
you are 15 (so am i), what works on an adult may not work for you, he also said no exersise needed, if you find away to lose weight w/out excersising and it's healthy then that's great but i doubt there is and even if there was your body still needs excersise.

i would suggest runnning, swimming, dancing, and if you have a gym membership then working out there, if nothing seems to be working then try talking to your doctor.

...if you actually have to lose weight.

((Don't go on Atkins!))
