I just love answering these diet tips questions. Here’s another:
Question: Hihihi :]
So, I’m 15 and female.
I weigh about 140, 5′5, I’m a size 8 or 9.
Everyone says that children shouldn’t go on diets. I don’t feel comfortable in my own skin, this weight is unhealthy, and my stretch marks are embarrassing.
So, I’m asking for tips/ideas and for someone to help me plan a diet & excersize routine to help me get my weight back down to a healthy number.
I’d like to have somewhat of a "bikini bod" by summer, so this gives me 5 months.
Also tips to get rid of stretch marks would be helpful too.
Thanks everyone!
Answer: When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don’t eat wheat then you don’t eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don’t eat junk food, and you don’t eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
your problem areas for men and women. It’s not necessarily to become a
bodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help you
to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).
