What's the best diet plan for a teen to lose lots of weight fast?!


Question: What's the best diet plan for a teen to lose lots of weight fast?
well, not too fast (:
I'm 14 and am seriously overweight. I'm only 5'2 and 160+ pounds. No rude comments, I know I'm big. I would like to be down to a healthy weight for my height (107-130) by my birthday in mid June. I don't have a lot of time for exercise. Maybe 15-20 minutes a day. An hour max on Saturdays. I eat no breakfast and drink flavored water and sometimes eat Baked! Lays for lunch. I do eat a LOT when I get home because I'm sooo hungry by then. Dinner is mostly carbs, because I'm insanely picky. I don't like veggies, chicken or most red meat. Pasta is my fave food (: I can get down like some fruit/veggie juice before I feel sick. Can someone recommend a weight loss program for me?

Answers:

You need to eat breakfast - eggs is your best option. If you don't eat breakfast, your metabolism stays in sleep mode. You need to eat lunch, eat pasta for lunch with vegs & protein & at dinner stick with meat & vegs.

Not eating all day & eating lots of pasta at night will guarantee you will be 200# while a teenager & nearly 300# as an adult.

I recommend to lose weight, cut out all sugars & starches. No sodas, juices, cookies, candy, cakes, etc. As healthy as fruit may be, it's natural sugars do not only not promote fat loss, they actually promote fat storage (fructose is the most lipogenic carb).

Make sure half your meals are green non starchy vegs & eat lots of protein & good fats, limit your complex carb portions to no more than your protein portion.

Studies have shown that some people can gain fat stores even on a semi starvation diet of 1000 calories a day - if it's composition is high carb, low fat. So obviously, calories aren't the key to fat loss.

I am adamantly opposed to low calorie dieting because most people lose a good portion of lean tissue (including vital organs like the heart) along with fat stores. There is no nutrition in fat stores, only energy.

Most people get impatient and lower their calories and increase their exercise to a point where they lose so much lean tissue that when they return to what was maintenance level eating they are now accumulating more fat stores because their caloric needs have dropped due to the loss of this tissue as well as their metabolism slowing down to work more efficiently on fewer calories & it becomes a vicious cycle of dieting and more loss (including vital organs like the heart). This stress to the vital organs cannot be healthy.
