2007-04-26 06:28:41I'm looking for a fast way or good diet/health plan for a 14yr old Male around 86.5kg (I think that works out to about 190lb) at one point i was over 90kg but managed to get down to about 84.5kg but it took a while. I know that as i grow around 80kg is about a good weight for an older teen/young adult. But I'm fat now and i want to loose weight now. It doesn't have to be instant weight loss. But i would really rather more than 1kg a week. (1kg works out to about 2.20lb i think) i don't want to be extremely skinny just get to an acceptable fit weight. Maybe around low 70's or high 60kilos (I'm VERY unfit.)

2007-04-26 07:29:49Weight loss is a tricky topic. Lots of people are unhappy with their present weight, but most aren't sure how to change it ??” and many would be better off staying where they are. You may want to look like the models or actors in magazines and on TV, but those goals might not be healthy or realistic for you. Besides, no magical diet or pill will make you look like someone else.
So what should you do about weight control?
Being healthy is really about being at a weight that is right for you. The best way to find out if you are at a healthy weight or if you need to lose or gain weight is to talk to a doctor or dietitian. He or she can compare your weight with healthy norms to help you set realistic goals. If it turns out that you can benefit from weight loss then you can follow a few of the simple suggestions listed below to get started.
Weight management is about long-term success. People who lose weight quickly by crash dieting or other extreme measures usually gain back all (and often more) of the pounds they lost because they haven't permanently changed their habits. Therefore, the best weight management strategies are those that you can maintain for a lifetime. That's a long time, so we'll try to keep these suggestions as easy as possible!
Make it a family affair. Ask your mom or dad to lend help and support and to make dietary or lifestyle changes that might benefit the whole family, if possible. Teens who have the support of their families tend to have better results with their weight management programs. But remember, you should all work together in a friendly and helpful way ??” making weight loss into a competition is a recipe for disaster!
Watch your drinks. It's amazing how many extra calories can be lurking in the sodas, juices, and other drinks that you take in every day. Simply cutting out a couple of cans of soda or switching to diet soda can save you 360 calories or more each day. Drink lots of water or other sugar-free drinks to quench your thirst and stay away from sugary juices and sodas. Switching from whole to nonfat or low-fat milk is also a good idea.
Start small. Small changes are a lot easier to stick with than drastic ones. Try reducing the size of the portions you eat and giving up regular soda for a week. Once you have that down, start gradually introducing healthier foods and exercise into your life.
Stop eating when you're full. Lots of people eat when they're bored, lonely, or stressed, or keep eating long after they're full out of habit. Try to pay attention as you eat and stop when you're full. Slowing down can help because it takes about 20 minutes for your brain to recognize how much is in your stomach. Sometimes taking a break before going for seconds can keep you from eating another serving.
Avoid eating when you feel upset or bored ??” try to find something else to do instead (a walk around the block or a trip to the gym are good alternatives). Many people find it's helpful to keep a diary of what they eat and when. Reviewing the diary later can help them identify the emotions they have when they overeat or whether they have unhealthy habits. A registered dietitian can give you pointers on how to do this.
Eat less more often. Many people find that eating a couple of small snacks throughout the day helps them to make healthy choices at meals. Stick a couple of healthy snacks (carrot sticks, a low-fat granola bar, pretzels, or a piece of fruit) in your backpack so that you can have one or two snacks during the day. Adding healthy snacks to your three squares and eating smaller portions when you sit down to dinner can help you to cut calories without feeling deprived.
Five a day keep the pounds away. Ditch the junk food and dig out the fruits and veggies! Five servings of fruits and veggies aren't just a good idea to help you lose weight ??” they'll help keep your heart and the rest of your body healthy. Other suggestions for eating well: replace white bread with whole wheat, trade your sugary sodas for lots of water and a few cups of low-fat milk, and make sure you eat a healthy breakfast. Having low-sugar, whole grain cereal and low-fat milk and a piece of fruit is a much better idea than inhaling a donut as you run to the bus stop or eating no breakfast at all! A registered dietitian can give you lots of other snack and menu ideas.
Avoid fad diets. It's never a good idea to trade meals for shakes or to give up a food group in the hope that you'll lose weight ??” we all need a variety of foods to stay healthy. Stay away from fad diets because you're still growing and need to make sure you get proper nutrients. Avoid diet pills (even the over-the-counter or herbal variety). They can be dangerous to your health besides, there's no evidence that they help keep weight off over the long term.
Don't banish certain foods. Don't tell yourself you'll never again eat your absolutely favorite peanut butter chocolate ice cream or a bag of chips from the vending machine at school. Making these foods forbidden is sure to make you want them even more. Also, don't go fat free: You need to have some fat in your diet to stay healthy, so giving up all fatty foods all the time isn't a good idea. The key to long-term success is making healthy choices most of the time. If you want a piece of cake at a party, go for it! But munch on the carrots rather than the chips to balance it out.
Get moving. You may find that you don't need to cut calories as much as you need to get off your behind. Don't get stuck in the rut of thinking you have to play a team sport or take an aerobics class to get exercise. Try a variety of activities from hiking to cycling to rowing until you find ones you like.
Not a jock? Find other ways to fit activity into your day: walk to school, jog up and down the stairs a couple of times before your morning shower, turn off the tube and help your parents in the garden, or take a stroll past your crush's house ??” anything that gets you moving. Your goal should be to work up to 60 minutes of exercise every day. But everyone has to begin somewhere. It's fine to start out by simply taking a few turns around the block before bed and building up your levels of fitness gradually.
Build muscle. Muscle burns more calories than fat. So adding strength training to your exercise routine can help you reach your weight loss goals as well as give you a toned bod. A good, well-balanced fitness routine includes aerobic workouts, strength training, and flexibility exercises.
Forgive yourself. So you were going to have one cracker with spray cheese on it and the next thing you know the can's pumping air and the box is empty? Drink some water, brush your teeth, and move on. Everyone who's ever tried to lose weight has found it challenging. When you slip up, the best idea is to get right back on track and don't look back. Avoid telling yourself that you'll get back on track tomorrow or next week or after New Year's. Start now.
Try to remember that losing weight isn't going to make you a better person ??” and it won't magically change your life. It's a good idea to maintain a healthy weight because it's just that: healthy.

2007-04-26 11:09:40With you being only 14 years old, you have a HUGE advantage over someone that is older that has the same problem. Getting your metabolism jump-started and moving faster is a lot easier than if you were in your twenties, or thirties.
Truthfully, 1kilo per week is too much for you to aim for. You should aim for about .35 to .5 kilo weight loss per week. If you use methods to lose weight faster than that, you put your existing muscle tissue at risk, and may end up losing some lean muscle mass. LOSING LEAN MUSCLE MASS IS BAD!!! Your muscle tissue is your best weapon against fat!
First of all, how many calories do you eat in a day, and what kind of foods? Can your parents help you out with your goal? Can you fit in 5 - 6 meals per day? If they can... then prepare 5 meals for yourself each day... with every meal containing lean protein, complex carbohydrates & fibrous carbohydrates, and essential fats. (Eat your three main meals a day, but with small portions. Eat two in-between meals that consist of lean protein or protein supplements. All meals should add up to 2000 - 3000 calories depending on your size)
Meals should consist of lean proteins (chicken, fish, & lean cuts of beef), complex carbohydrates (whole-wheat breads, whole-wheat pastas, and potatoes), fibrous carbohydrates (fruits & vegetables), and essential fats (flax seed oil, fish oil, olive oil, and nuts). The flax seed oil and fish oil can actually be taken in pill form as a dietary supplement, which is how I get my daily dose.
Then, once you're diet is established, you start getting regular exercise. Since you're 14, weights are out of the question! Working out with weights now will only stunt your growth... You should focus on playing sports and getting cardiovascular exercise, such as swimming, walking, and running. Switch up what you do in order to keep yourself from getting bored.
Make these changes and you'll be fit as a fiddle!
