We’ve had a reader question come in on the subject of diet tips. Let’s take a look:
Question: Okay, so im 16 and i really want to lose a lot of weight before December. A gym opened down the road from me not long ago and im going to sign up.
But what are some things i can have for meals and stuff to help me lose weight, im going to be going walking alot for about 30 - 40 minutes go down the park with my pet and stuff. But im really serious about losing weight, i hate looking like this i want to be able to wear clothes i like.
Answer: what i have been doing pretty much goes against what most people do, but i have read up on it and most people call it "the warrior diet" you only eat one full meal a day, preferably at night before you go to bed. you can snack on fruit and veggies or drink coffee or tea to tide you over during the day.
it sounds crazy, i know, i was really skeptical at first but i decided to try it anyway, i started at 150 and after just one week with minimal exercise, i was at 139, and i could feel myself getting leaner, i started working out an hour every day, and the fat just seemed to melt off my body. i was amazed. at first you really have to fight the hunger but after like the first week you won’t even feel the need to eat until evening.
below is where i heard about this crazy diet

The best tips that really worked for me are
1. Drink a glass of water before your meals, this will help you feel full, the result: you will tend to eat less.
2. Drink cold water during cold days: your body will work hard and burn lots of calories trying to regulate your body’s temperature, and
3. To counteract a binge, keep your body’s fat-burning furnace running on full blast by drinking Green Tea.
Green Tea contains caffeine and the antioxidant epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) , which is proven to boost metabolic rate. In fact, in a recent 3 month study, participants who took Green Tea extract lost 4.6% of their body weight without changing their diet. To get the benefit, drink at least 3 cups a day.
Drink oolong tea. The proof: Women in a Chinese study who drank 32 oz. of oolong tea daily (four large mugs) lost three pounds a week.
4. Feel full on less food.
Apples are rich in pectin, a soluble fiber that slows the digestive process, so you’ll feel full on less food.The result: You’ll eat just enough food to make you happy, reducing calorie intake.
5. Fill up on Fiber - Foods rich in fiber will make you feel satisfied and help curb your appetite, helping you to lose weight fast and safely - so make sure to pack your diet with fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
For even faster fat loss, place one bag of oolong tea and one bag of green tea in a mug of hot water. The epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) in green tea revs metabolism, so the body burns two-and-a-half times more calories per day.

The key for losing weight is easy - consume less food and workout more often - the issues arise when we in reality try to put that into operation! There are plenty of opportunities to fail in the real world aren’t there?! I uncovered some excellent advice by learning from the web resource in the box below, they have plenty of instruction, I melted away 6 pounds by doing as they advised.

You need a plan and a guide. Losing weight is not as easy as taking a pill, though as Americans we wish we could take a pill. You will have to start with baby steps and gain momentum. Don’t get discouraged!
I am attaching a link that helped me lose my excess weight. It was a baby boomer site, but the principles are the same and there is a terrific video explaining the process.

Im in the same situation.
Well, try to cut all junk food completly out of your life. Also, only drink water. You consume lots of liquid calories from drinks such as pop or juice or milk. Try to eat wheat bread instead of white because white bread just has calories and basically no nutritional value. Mmm i hope this helps. Good luck!

I agree with the answer for the water and the green tea. Both being used help to naturally detox your body of unwanted fats and biotics.
The best way to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight is by making a commitment in changing your eating habits and exercising regularly. Here are some tips:
1. Choose whole grains.
2. Drink plenty of water.
3. Choose lean meats and fish.
4. Know the portion sizes for your calorie target.
5. Limit fats to an average of 15 grams per meal.
6. Choose fresh fruits and vegetables whenever possible.
7. Work out for no less that 45 minutes, 4-5 days a week.
8. Select foods with less than 3 grams of fat per 100 calories.
9. Choose pretzels, baked chips, fat-free popcorn instead of fries and chips.
10. Avoid foods with partially hydrogenated oils, trans-fats and high-fructose corn syrup.
11. Choose cereal, bread, crackers or chips that contain 2 or more grams of fiber per 100 calories.
12. Choose fat-free or low-fat variety of foods especially when it comes to dairy products (milk, cheese, and yogurt).
Another healthy way of eating while you lose weight, is to try a product called HERBALIFE. They have shakes and herbal tea concentrates that help you safely lose weight, and they are not a binge diet, its a lifestyle product line for everyone. At 16 yrs old, even though you are almost of age to be considered an adult, they have herbalife shakes for kids which is a delicious alternative for 1 meal during the day. You should not at your age be substituting 2 meals a day with shakes just yet unless speaking to a doctor first.
Although it may seem like an advertisement, I am only suggesting all the methods including herbalife, and I do sell the product if interested. But overall, with or without herbalife shakes or products, the above 12 tips will ensure you of losing the weight SAFELY.
