What should I change about my diet? How much weight do you think I should lose?!


Question: What should I change about my diet? How much weight do you think I should lose?
I am 13 years old, 5'6", and 132 pounds. I recently started eating healthier and exercising because I am unhappy with my weight and with my body.

This is what I usually eat in a day:

Breakfast- Smoothie or a banana with milk
Lunch- a sandwhich with a salad. water.
Snack- smoothie or a granola bar with milk or yogurt
Dinner- it depends on what my mom is making for dinner that night.
I drink lots of water throughout the day.

What should I change about my eating habits? Are there any of the necessary food groups that I am lacking in or leaving out? If so, what foods should I eat to get the nutrients I need? How much weight should I lose to be healthy? How fast do you think I could lose the weight (but still keep it off of course; I don't want this to be temporary)?

Thanks in advance (: (: (:

Hi :)
Im also 15 and i last September i weighed 145 pounds and lost 33 pounds and i now weigh 112.
To loose weight it is very simple. Don't listen to diets or plans or anything. Just be natural .
Ill give you my best tips :

-eat smaller and healthier portions throughout the day but more frequently (ex- eat 5 meals a day but make your meals half the size) this will speed up your metabolism and
-drink TUNS of water
-walk every day for 30 min, and also do a 30 min workout thats high impact on the body (dance, ect.)
-Pick 1 day on the weekend and 1 day in the week to take a break from your workouts
-Pick 1 day each week to indulge and not worry about your diet (make sure its only one day a week and it will not affect you at all)
-do not pick at food! Put what your gonna eat in your plate and don't eat anything else! especially when making the food.


Hope i helped:)



Go to the doctor and make sure it's okay for you to lose weight--checking body fat percentage is a better measure than weight.

Being unhappy with your body is a choice--letting go of what your body SHOULD look like and start loving it for what it does look like is a good way to begin. You are perfect now. If you want to make changes, make sure you know what the end result will be and what you expect from it.

I am not going to answer these questions because you are a healthy weight and do not need to lose any weight at all. You will need a little weight anyway for growing.



Use fat free milk if you aren't already. Diet looks good though. be sure to exercise for several hours a week though or your diet wont do much for you.
