Weight loss for tall people?!


Question: I am a tall (5'10 or 5'11) overweight teen and I want to know if it will be easier for me to loss weight? Any tips? I think if I lost a little fat in some areas I would have a great body but I know that's not all that's important

The taller you are the more evenly distributed the fat is, so it makes you appear to be skinner than someone that is a lot shorter than you at the same weight. If you lose a little bit of weight it will most likely appear to look more substantial on a taller person. You still need to eat right and exercise as hard as anyone else to lose weight.

Well the rate that you lose weight really doesn't have anything to do with your height, but the amount of weight you have.
The more weight you have, the quicker you'll lose it doing little things. A 150 lb person would only burn like 1 calorie walking up and down the steps, but an 170 person might burn 2 or 3. Get it? It also depends on your BMI and the way your body is. Some peoples bodies stop losing weight once it feels its gotten too low, and some people have trouble losing the first few pounds. So it really depends on your personal body type :)

eat no more than 1,500 cals a day and do an hour of cardio at least 5 times a week. if u stick to this u will definately lose weight. if u dont then u wont. the choice is yours
