Help? 10 POINTS BEST ANSWER!!?!
Question: Help!? 10 POINTS BEST ANSWER!!!?
I am 14 and weight about 110-120 pounds I'm not exactly sure!. I want to lose weight by the end of this summer so that I can look great during my first year of high school!. I already have my workout routine down; I'm going to alternate between running, biking, swimming, pilates, yoga, tennis, roller blading, jumping rope, and some typical sculpting moves such as crunches and stuff like that, but I need a diet!. I'm not a really big fan of diets, so I would prefer some specific tips on changing my eating habbits, but I wouldn't mind some safe and healthy diet suggestions either!. I was looking at the "3 Day Diet" and was wondering if it were healthy and safe for a fourteen year old!. Can anyone let me in on some information about this diet!? It doesn't really matter to me what suggestions you make, I really just want something that is safe and healthy!. I am not willing to put my health at risk just to lose a couple of pounds!. Thanks :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, I wouldn't suggest quick fix diets for you, you are still too young!. I dunno how tall you are, but a weight of 110-120 pounds sound quite thin to me, even if you are really short!. Plus, I hope you are going for a generally healthier lifestyle with this, not just trying to impress people first day of school!. I did that for junior prom, and later ended up gaining about 20 pounds back!. Plus, I learned later in life that people who judge you on first impressions only are boring and vain, and that trying too hard to impress someone initially can put pressure on you to maintain that standard later on, which doesn't really allow you to just be yourself!.!.!.
But anyway, enough moralizing!. My suggestion would be - eat when you are hungry, and don't deprave yourself!. Sweets and richer foods are allowed, but try to cut back a little if you feel you eat too much of that now, and replace them with more fruit and veggies, or healthier alternatives (you know, like have a homemade banana-milk smoothie with rasberries instead of a milkshake), replace juice with water, ask your family to try eating grilled food instead of fried!. Since summer is so warm, why not try some nice salad recipes from time to time - by salad, I don't mean tomatoes and lettuce plain, but something more like i!.e!. lettuce + cucumber + raddish + carrot + orange + apple + shrimp/prosciutto/grilled chicken + olive oil + vinegar!. It may sound weird, but my mum picked up the recipe in France and it is delicious!. Eat a big bowl of that with a piece of wholemeal bread and you not only had a meal that's filling and tasty, but also full of nutrients and low in calories!. Another little trick is distributing your food consumption!. Our metabolism works best from morning throughout the day, and slows down as evening approaches!. A way to maintain weight for me (since I gain easily) is to eat as much as I feel like during the day, and then eat very little, or nothing, after 5 - 6 PM!. It's also good because your body uses energy during the night to revitalize your organism - if you eat late, it has to spend that energy on digesting the food!.
I gotta go now - hope this helps!. Don't overwork yourself now, you are a growing young woman and you are on holiday after all! Cheers!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like your exercise routine is great!.
It's best to avoid fad diets, especially so when you're still growing!. There is a very simple alternative however: simply keep to 3 nutritious meals per day with snacks of only fruit in between!. Don't drink soda - only water!. Take a multivitamin also!.
It can be difficult at times, but that's the best diet route!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

How tall are you!? you're weight sounds fine to me!.!. depending on your height!.!. maybe you just need to tone up a little instead of losing weight!? just eat healthy and try to stay away from eating to many salty foods, sugary foods (some are needed, but limit them) eat lots of fruits and vegetables you need meat but limit how much you eat!. ( like maybe one meal a day have meat in it) and Pop is major weight gainer and no diet pop isnt any better for you LOL!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
