How to lose weight fast if you are an extremely picky eater?

I’m am 14 years old and want to lose a little weight about 10 pounds. I am an extremely picky eater so I don’t like vegetables and fruits that much and a little meat. I don’t eat seafood or Mexican food. I was wondering if anyone could help me find some good ideas of how to lose weight fast

weight loss cardiff answers:

You can’t. You can’t lose weight eating only foods you want and the list seems to include unhealthy foods only.
80% of weight loss is diet.
You can eat a healthy diet and lose weight.
You can eat a healthy diet and exercise and lose more weight.
You can exercise and eat a poor diet and not lose and even gain weight.
A good healthy diet high in fiber, lean meats, eggs, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, antioxidant foods, healthy beverages and low in added sugar and salt help people lose weight, lower cholesterol, increase energy, improve brain function, lower blood pressure, reduce cancer risk and have a more positive lifestyle!
You need to eat a lot more food and a lot more fiber!
Diets that exclude foods from any food group are fad diets and do not lead to permanent weight loss or solve any other health issues.
First, try to kick your fiber intake to 40 grams of both soluble and insoluble fiber.
Whatever you do, get your fiber from your food, not from a jar.
Fruits and vegetables have good fiber in them. A high fiber diet increases the metabolism.
Try a breakfast cereal with at least 20% of recommended daily allowance of fiber in it. They are usually low in sugar so there is a double benefit. Blueberries or raspberries on top add more fiber and antioxidants. But fresh or frozen, not the kind in syrup.
Raw nuts are a great source of fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants. Avocados are the best.
Lots of beans, peas, and grains are high fiber. Whole grain breads. Fiber kicks up the metabolism so you actually burn more calories. These foods will give you more gas in the beginning but if eaten daily, the bacteria in the digestive tract will elevate lowering the gas output.
This will get you on the path for a healthy daily bowel movement. This helps clean the system and aids healthy digestion.
I know it goes against everything you’ve heard but eating lots of the right foods will actually help you lose weight!
Next, take a basic daily multivitamin. Don’t look at your multivitamin as nutrition but more as an insurance policy. Think of it as filling in the gaps in your daily diet as opposed to a primary source of nutrients. Being a woman, you may want a plus iron formula.
Last, you have to drink lots of water to be healthy. But you can disguise it. Fill your glass all the way full with ice before pouring low sugar beverages. Try iced green tea with a splash of orange juice in it for sweet. More antioxidants. Add lemon juice to water for flavor. Slice up a cucumber and float it in pitcher of water. Gives it salty fresh taste. But you must drink up to 100 oz of water daily to help your body get rid of waste and the toxins it contains.
You must combine a healthy diet with exercise to multiply the benefit. Whether an hour a day in the weight room or just a 30 minute brisk walk every day, the added benefit of a regular exercise program really do increase and accelerate healthy weight loss.

I lost 30 pounds in 5 months by spending my money at the grocery and gym.

Donald asks…

What is the best way to lose weight fast when you are a 13 yr old girl?

I’m 13 and i am 5’5 and about 150 lbs. I want to lose about 25-30 lbs before i spend the summer with my dad in Germany. How can i lose that weight fast? Or do you think i should just let things be and be a little chunky and curvy when i visit my dad?

weight loss cardiff answers:

There’s nothing wrong with being a little curvy, it makes you unique(: For myself, 15 and 5’6″ 123 lbs, I like to run, dance, and eat healthy. One of the best ways to lose weight to to improve your diet and keep important carbs and nutrients in your body, another great thing is exercise. Its never a bad thing to lose some weight and everyone has some they could lose.Right now I am doing lacrosse which is a super fun sport to play, and i am a dancer which keeps me in amazing shape, I also love eating right..in fact it is better to eat 6 small meals a day rather than 3 main meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner)
No matter if you lose the weight or not I’m sure you’re beautiful, have fun in Germany!

Mary asks…

What is the best and healthy way to lose weight fast?

I’ve heard that since I am young that I can get it off faster than someone twice my age. ( I’m 22. 🙂 ) So what can I do that is healthy, fast and actually works? I don’t want to join a gym or have to pay to lose weight. ( I might buy some vitamin pills or something along that line) But nothing that will put a hole in my pocket. I’ve tried the whole water diet. (Where you cut off the sodas and just drink water) And all I ever did was just pee alot, which got annoying. Lol. But pleeaassee! People who have lost weight, what did you do and how did you keep it off? Thank youu!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Go for gradually increasing regular walks –cut excessive carbohydrates and sweets–regular eating habits and controlled sleeping hours-should help you-

Chris asks…

Help with losing weight….?

I am 13 years old, about 5’5, and about 180 lbs. I want to lose between 40 and 50 lbs. by the beginning of September, with about 20 pounds gone by June. How can I accomplish these goals in a safe way? (Incidentally, I had very unhealthy eating habits as a younger kid, and I have found that I lose weight fairly easily.) Please be specific about any diets, exercises, etc. Thanks in advance. =)

weight loss cardiff answers:

OK, you’r only 13 so no drastic diets. Try this – eat as much green vegatables/ salads/ stirfry’s as you want, & any time you want. Drink 6 glasses of water a day, eggs, chicken, fish are all good. Not much red meat, ok, if lean twice a week.
Stay away from anything manufactured ie takeaway food, breads, baked foods, tinned foods etc, porridge for breakfast
Fruit juice is full of sugar, whole fruit is ok before lunch
try to exercise ie: a 30-45 min walk in the morning every day

Linda asks…

Desperately wants to lose weight, tried everything, any suggestions?

Hey guys. (:

I’ve never been the skinniest girl if you know what I mean. When I hit the age of ten, I weighed over 150 pounds, and I was barely 5’ft tall. I didn’t diet, but I was an outside kid. There was rarely a day you saw me in the house. My family tried to pass it off as the whole “big boned” thing, and “it’s just baby fat”. And for the longest time, I believed them. Through early teenage years, I struggled with my weight even more. I started to realize that my so called “baby fat” wasn’t shedding like it had been promised. When I was 15 I weighed over 170, and I was 5ft exactly. Needless to say, I was a fatass. Lol. Now I’m 17. I’ve been dieting and exercising for over two months now, when I weighted myself in the store and saw that I was 169 and still only 5ft tall. I was very disappointed to be over the medium limit, closer to 200 pounds then 100. I’m pretty sure if I’m 5ft tall, I should only weigh, AT MAX, 120. Right? Can anyone tell me? I limited myself to eating Raisin Bran for breakfast, maybe an egg or two at lunch. No butter with it at all. Just tomatoes and onions mixed in to give it flavor. At dinner, I maybe eat a salad and munch on some of the meat that the rest of my family prepared for themselves, as long as it’s low fat beef or some sort turky substance, with little to no grease. I haven’t allowed myself ANY carbs whatsoever. No pasta, no bread, no potatoes, no rice. I don’t eat mayonnaise or any kind of condiment, I drink NOTHING but water. I weighed myself this past weekend and I’m down to 149. But I’m still not happy at all. I want to get rid of this pooch that I tuck inside my pants when I sit down. I don’t want ANY fat rolls when I’m sitting. Any good exercises someone can recommend to me, that wont absolutely kill me? I do a lot of jogging, squats, and I work out on this machine that targets your core and back muscles. Or maybe I need to limit my diet more, or change it? What am I doing wrong? Why can’t I shed weight as easily as everyone else? And aren’t you supposed to feel more energetic after working out, and proud of yourself? I feel exactly the opposite. When I finish working out, I feel disgusting. Not because I’m covered in sweat. I just think about how much my stomach pooch jiggles and how hard I’m working out and how I’m not seeing any results and I want to grab it and saw it off with a knife. When I finish working out, I feel worthless. I feel like I’m the ugliest thing in the world. By this time I’m STARVING and I go an look in the fridge to search for something to take the hunger pain away, and then this nagging voice in the back of my head goes “You don’t deserve to eat. Starve. Starve. You’re fat. You don’t deserve it. Starve.” And a lot of times, I end up depriving myself of a meal though could be vital. I might be wrong, but I’m pretty sure when you finish working out, you’re supposed to be proud, pat yourself on the back, eat and apple, feel energetic and all that. I think something is wrong with me. Please, any responses are welcome. Tell me what I SHOULD weigh, for my age and height. Tell me if I’m dieting wrong. Tell me what exercises I could do. Tell me if it’s normal for me to feel depressed after working out. Please. Thank you for reading!
Here’s a few pictures of me.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Losing 10 lbs a month is a good and safe target. Any faster weight loss is likely to be temporary only and in most cases you regain it all.

Running, jogging, cycling, swimming, dancing, push ups, sit ups, squats, brisk walking and power walking all help for weight loss but dieting helps more.

You can always eat negative calorie foods for weight loss and below is a list of negative calorie foods that will boost your metabolism.

Negative Calorie Fruits:
apples
cranberries
grapefruit
lemons
mangoes
oranges
pineapple
raspberries
strawberries
tangerines

Negative Calorie Vegetables:
asparagus
beets
broccoli
cabbage (green)
carrots
cauliflower
celery
Chile peppers (hot)
cucumber
dandelions
endives
garden cress

green beans
lettuce

Michael asks…

My girlfriend needs to lose weight…?

now don’t get me wrong, i LOVE my girlfriend, and in fact we’re getting married next year, but she needs to lose weight for health reasons.

we’re both 140kilo (308 pounds), but i’m 6’4 with alot of muscle and she’s at least a foot shorter than me.

myself and her family are worried about her health, she has really bad knees and gets sick easily, but whenever i try to talk to her about her weight she goes right on the defensive and I can’t say anything that she won’t take the wrong way and end up crying over

she’s a wonderful girl and i love her so much, but i don’t want her to end up dying at 50 or even earlier, and we really want kids but i don’t think it’s healthy for her to get pregnant yet.

i’m at a loss of what to do!!!

Why not go for walks together and try some healthy foods.

Christmas is a shot way off any easy weight loss ideas?

Christmas is only 5 weeks away anyone got any helpful tips on how to shed a few Ibs quick and easy? please help?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Do the usual…
Running in the morning helps alot…its the FASTEST way to lose weight…do it about three times a week.

Use a metabolism increasing supplement. Green tea or white tea will do. I prefer white tea coz its more effective when packaged with Acai… Try http://freewhitetea.com I got a free pack from them recently.
Drink it about 2 or 3 times a day…and itll help not only for metabolism…but also for suppressing appetite naturally. Tastes awesome too! 🙂

Don’t diet…it just won’t work…you will gain back everything after leaving it…

Don’t try pills..they’re even worse…

Hope I helped

Sharon asks…

What are some easy weight loss smoothies?

That dont include having to buy powders and products.
BTW they do exist, I just dont know which one to choose.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Weight loss shake recipes are as unlimited as your imagination, and an excellent source for vitamins, minerals, and healthy weight loss!

Summer is an especially good time to drink these delicious, refreshing drinks because of the abundance of available fresh fruit, but I enjoy them year-round, thanks to frozen fruit!

Use the basic weight loss shake recipe below and then get creative! It’s easy to get started.

You’ll need a blender because there’s just no adequate substitute, but that’s the only piece of equipment you need to create your own healthy drinks!

You might want to write down your different creations to be sure that you can reproduce your favorites when you’re ready!

Each diet shake recipe can be used as a healthy snack or as a meal replacement. If you drink the shake, or “weight loss smoothie” as they’re often called, in place of a meal, be sure to get adequate protein in your diet!
Years ago, it was common to put raw eggs in the shake for additional protein, but most people are hesitant to do that today.

Instead, buy a low-calorie protein (whey) powder at your local health-food store. Just be sure it’s low-calorie because some of those protein powders are designed to help people “bulk up.”

If you don’t use the protein powder, make sure that you make up for the protein at your other meals.

In a blender combine:
½ cup skim milk
½ cup plain, fat-free yogurt
1 scoop of low-calorie protein powder (optional)
½ banana
1-cup fresh or frozen berries
Blend with enough ice for desired consistency. The more ice you add, the thicker the shake!

Each ingredient you add to the blender will change the taste.
You can create your own weight loss smoothie by experimenting with different fruits. Try adding different combinations of watermelon, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, pineapple, mango, coconut, etc.

Try adding a banana, one teaspoon of vanilla, and a heaping teaspoon of instant coffee!

Experiment by adding a couple of teaspoons of chocolate syrup or cocoa.

Try adding a tablespoon of peanut butter! Truly the possibilities are limitless!

Michael asks…

Im wondering.What are some easy weight loss tips.Ive been drinking nothing but water and diet soda?

Ive also been exercising and cleaning and doing anything to make me sweat.ive been watching what i eat.And all that good stuff.I just need some tips.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Here are some ways to lose weight fast.

1 – Take everything one step at a time. Begin simply by paying more attention to what you are eating, slowly cutting back on the bad foods and implementing more healthy foods into your diet. Once you have this under control, the next step is to add exercise to your plan. If you do not like exercising, take this one step at a time as well by implementing only 15 to 30 minutes at a time, at first.

2 – Choose foods and activities that you enjoy. If you do activities that you get enjoyment out of, you will find them to be much more successful than trying to exercise in ways that you do not enjoy. The same goes for foods that you implement in your diet: Choosing foods that you enjoy will help you enjoy your diet rather than craving bad foods.

3 – Build muscle. You lose calories based on your weight. Muscles, surprisingly enough, burn calories more quickly than fat does, pound for pound. Work out with weights to build muscle and lose weight, and then allow your extra lean muscle mass to burn more calories for you on a long term basis.

4 – Reduce your carbohydrates. Do not cut your carbohydrates out completely, because your body needs carbohydrates for energy. Cut out some of the white breads and pastas from your diet, though, to cut down on the carbohydrates that you consume. What carbs you do need to eat, you can replace with whole wheat and brown carbs for better health.

5 – Set realistic, measurable and attainable goals. Put deadlines on your goals, making them measurable. Make them realistic by choosing goals that you know you can attain. Set long term and short term goals …………….
