Healthy ways to lose weight for teens?!


Question: Healthy ways to lose weight for teens!?
Hi, this is the first time I have wrote one of these, so pardon if I mess up, ha ha!.

So I am 15 years old, almost 16, and I weigh about 202 pounds!. For my age it is really unhealthy!. I am about 5' 9" so I kind of get proportioned, but not by much!.

Most of my fat is in my stomach area, but mostly my thighs!. I have been both bulimic and annorexic in the past, but it didn't help much!. I don't wish to lead a life like that!.

I am also a dancer so I dance at a minimum of 7 hours a week!.

I was just wondering does anyone have some tips for me!?

I am just struggling with my weight and need some advice, any works!.!.!. But if you are just going to tell me I am obese, then please refrain from posting anything!

Thank You!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Being an athlete!.!.as a dancer you are an athlete!.!.!.you can expect to weigh more, so don't let that discourage you!. Go by your doc's advice, your abilities, how you look, feel, and how your clothes fit!.

Slim fast has a very good support system whether or not you use their products!. Go to their free website!. www!.slimfast!.com Lots of nutrition and menu planning info and a progress tracker, and a message board and buddy system!.

But really at your age, you are not done growing or developing and this is a calorie intensive process for the body!. DONT skip on food or diet too much!. Not that you can't be health conscious!.!.!.of course you can!.

Best advice I can give you is to skip the junk food, snack healthy, eat three small meals and three larger snacks per day!. Choose healthy foods and healthy cooking methods and monitor portion sizes!. Treat yourself every now and then to something wholesome but decadent (such as ice cream)

And exercise!. One hour a week of each:

stength training (weights, bands, ball), cardio (walking, swimming), and stretching (yoga, pilates)

on top of your dance each day will make you strong, lean, and a fat burning goddess!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Get the "Sugar Buster" book or audio from your local library and follow it!. Along with excercise, long walks (gradually work up from 1 then 1!.5, 2 , 2!.5 till you reach 3 miles) tneh work up to a jog!. Jog/Sprint/walk!. You should be fit enought to get interested in sports!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would recommend you take a look at what Beachbody has to offer!.

It sounds as you need some assistance with understanding what to eat and when!. Eating the right foods at the right time of the day are important!. Your dancing is great for you, but, your body may be very used to the dance and your body is not reacting!. Beachbody has an on-line meal plan which will tell you what to eat each day and how much!. For the exercise, they have great DVD's which you can use in your own room!.

So, here is the deal!. You sound pretty active! Are you wanting to lose weight because of your appearance!? How you feel!? Is there pressure to be a certain size!?
I hate diets - and I don't think they are safe!. Changing some bad habits will help you feel better though - both mentally and physically!. You sound like you are getting enough exercise in so try eating mostly whole foods - vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, whole grains and keep a positive mind! I suggest working on some self confidence exercises and really focusing on getting both a healthy body and mind!
You can be healthy at many different sizes - diets aren't the only answers! Good luck with everything!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
