Diet and fitness help please…?
Okay, my whole family is "bigger" but I am almost 200 LBS and i am only 16 years old. I feel like it’s cutting into my social life, I dont like hanging out with my other side of the family cuz they are thinnner. I want to lose weight so badly but I dont have the self motivation. Can someone give me some good exercising and dieting tips?? please. I am overweight and I think i would feel better if i lost some of it. I would like to not lose so much boob. If possible?
I am also a vegetarian.. so that might help.
please though, I need a good diet and a workout schedule. I do online schooling so im sitting on my butt all day, my bike got stolen so that’s no help to me.
THANK YOU !
How tall are you? If you are really tall then you might only be a bit overweight, but I guess it’s up to your doc to decide. Here are a few Diet tips that have helped me:
1. Whenever you feel hungry drink 2 full glasses of water so you will not overeat.
2. The first thing to eat when you do eat needs to be fruits or vegetables; you can eat meat and carbss afterwards, but they should be a bonus, not the thing that makes you full.
3. Exercise. Run, power walk, skate, rock-climb, aqua-jog, swim laps, use exercise equipment, do yoga, vacuum your house, mow the lawn, play with little kids outside, jump on a trampoline, jump rope, play a rec sport, do water polo, anything you like. Do it as often as possible and when you feel tempted to eat too much, think about how it will cancel out the calories burned during your latest workout. Just one pb & j sandwhich or a cup of ice cream can cancel 30-40 minutes of jogging, and an hour or more of walking.
4. Find a few low calorie foods that you love and eat them when you feel like indulging yourself with junk food. For me, this is soy milk, canned pineapple, or dole fruit Popsicles (only 40 cal each). Portabella mushrooms can be seasoned to substitute a lot of fattier main entrees- be creative!
Good luck, I hope this helps
