11 year old needs help with weight loss!?!


Question: 11 year old needs help with weight loss!?
Hi I'm Niki and I need to lose to weight, my brother Alex has commented on my weight saying I need to lose some a couple times before, so he's coming to visit this summer and I need help to lose belly fat mostly, and if you could give some info on the Banana diet that would be great!
I'm 4'11 and I weigh 105 I know not that bad but it looks like it, I'm my tummy and my thighs the most. I need to lose 15 pounds at the most! I am still a kid so don't tell me to go on a starvation diet or something. I have till. June 3rd! To help you think of good exercises stuff I love swimming running Kickball and 4 square! Anything around that I also love jumprope!

Answers:

I'm not going to criticize your brother because you love him and respect him but the guy is clueless and you need to realize that. I'm sure he says this because he loves you and wants you to be happy and healthy but the only person qualified to say you are overweight or need to lose weight at age 11 is your doctor. Everyone else is just talking out of their ....well you're eleven so i won't say that, but you're smart enough to know what I mean.

In fact believe it or not it's especially important at eleven for you to not lose weight. Bet you didn't know that? Nobody has talked to you about this I am sure, but I'll let you in on an important secret. You have a growth spurt coming. It may only be a couple of inches but your body is preparing to add a little more height. You know how I know this? Every kid goes through this as they become teenagers. They gain weight right before the growth spurt because the body uses the weight to add the height. Do you want to stop yourself from gaining those few inches?, right now you are in the sixth grade and everyone around you is about the same height but by next fall everyone will have added 3-6 inches. They are all going through this or will go through this eventually, it's just your body's way of getting ready to grow. Your body needs that little extra weight to build itself taller. Yes you weigh more than the average ideal weight at your age but until that growth spurt hits you won't know for sure if this is because you need to lose weight or your body is packing on pounds to help it grow. If you add just two inches in this growth spurt you will weigh less than your suggested weight for your age.

Now since your question is about weight loss let's get into that issue. First off exercise won't benefit you. if you already do the exercises you explained on a regular daily basis (which you should be doing anyways) then adding more exercise won't help you lose weight. At this point you need to eat a proper nutritious diet. That means fewer McDonald's stops, no soda only water milk and orange juice. And try to avoid transfat. It's hard to say what proper caloric intake for an eleven year old as your activity level changes rapidly, but it's safe to say as long as you cut out fast food and avoid soda you will most likely naturally lose down to the weight your body requires for proper growth.



Say goodbye to hamburgers, potato chips, candy and soda cans. Start eating lots of green vegetables, fruits, chicken and drink lots of water. If your local park is not open for swimming yet, start walking. One the weekends, walk 1/2 half a mile, and increase it week by week. You can also jog one block, then walk the other, so forth and so forth.

You can do it Nicki. Put your 100% focus, and you can lose those extra 15 pounds.
Good luck.



hello, I did have a weight trouble that it seemed hopeless. I was taking all kinds of stuff. Till I stumpled upon these tips, I was a bit skeptical at first. there was a bit of improvement for the first week, but I was feeling good about myself. After going through that initial stage, which was a real confident booster, I worked on developing good diet to keep off the weight. I couldn't believe I hadnt found this earlier. I hope I've provided good information: http://theloseweightshare.tk



Just keep exercising :D Hogging, swimming, sports, they all help to keep your heart rate and metabolism rate up(: You're still young, so don't go on a diet, but cutting down on the fast food would definitely help (: x good luck!
