how can a teenager loose weight?
hey guys
so ye, im 14 and i desperately wana loose weight and heres why. i just started surfing and i am obsessed with it, now with surfing you have to wear a wetsuit and wetsuits have to be a snug fit so basically skin tight and because im fat it shows my flab so easily and i really dont like it.
so my question is how can a teenager lose weight, but first a little background about my weight and what it is caused by.
first of all, exercise is fine, i do at least 30 mins of cycling every single day on its own and i also walk placed, go on the trampoline and obviously surf. so exercise is pretty good. my problem is food. my problem isnt really controlling the small sizes and eating the right food like i eat alot of fish,meat,pasta,rice ect. but i have a MASSIVE sweet tooth, im not even joking. like i could eat nothing but sweets for the rest of my life. not only the fact i have a big sweet tooth but i am also addicted to sweets. i am also addicted to coke (coca cola) and fizzy drinks. and i drink at least 2 cans every day wich i know is not good. ive tried gradually cutting down on coke if tried going cold turkey. nothing has worked.
so, can anyone help me learn how to control my obsession with sweets and coke and give them up. i would rather not have to go to the doctor or the gym but if i HAVE to then i guess i will.
THANKS!

First thing to do is speak to your Doctor, at your age and with a developing body you should be careful with any diet.
I don’t think that diet or exercise is your problem, it’s the sweets. So you have got to ween yourself of them.
Coke and fizzy drinks come in a diet option. Cut up loads of carrots / celery / tomatoes and get some homos and Taramasalata, every time you want a sweet try eating some of that, before too long you will find that your sweet tooth is turning savoury.
If you want an incentive then think of your teeth, it is going to cost you a fortune ti fix all those cavities, not to mention the discomfort and a toothless surfer ain’t pretty.

Why can’t I lose weight?
I’m about 5 foot 4 and I weight 120 lbs.
Now this isn’t that bad (it’s actually healthy on the BMI) BUT I’m a teenager under tons of peer pressure and I really want to get to 110 ~ 115 by summer >_<
Now, my problem is that I used to weight 130lbs and so I started running and eating healthy so I lost 10 lbs quite easily ;D
But then it suddenly stopped working. I stopped losing weight. This may be because my metabolism matched my daily calorie loss, but if so, what can I do? I even tried a super diet but it did NOTHING >:[
Please help, any advice would be fine. (Btw I’m drinking 8~12 cups of water/day if that helps)
Edit: I quit drinking soda from a few months ago and as for Juice I have to drink a lot of OJ w/ calcium since I’m lactose intolerant :[
But these days I started drinking 8~12 glasses of pure water ^^
weight loss cardiff answers:
12 glasses of water is probably unneeded. Especially if you drink a lot of juice to begin with. Make sure you are drinking water because you are either eating, exercising, or thirsty. Not just to drink it.
Take a close look at your eating habits. It may be fairly healthy, but if you still have that doughnut or danish every couple of days, substituting it with fresh fruit and a little whipped topping will likely save you an extra 1000 calories a week. Also, make sure you refrain from eating 3 hours before you go to sleep.
Incorporate new exercises into your routine. Running will only do so much. Full body cardio and light weight routines will help get rid of extra fat. Swimming is also very good Also, be sure to change your workout routine every month. Otherwise your body will reach a roadblock.
Don’t rely on any kind of diet pills or miracle shakes.
Hope that helps. Good luck. 🙂
Michael asks…
Do I have to lose weight?
I’m a teenager, 130 pounds or so and Im working out at home and in the gym doing crunches, benching etc. One thing I’ve noticed is that after some time, you could barely see my abs but I know they’re there cause if I pulled some of the skin on the bottom of my stomach down you could see them. I think I’m a little bit overweight and a lot of it is mainly fat =. How much weight do I have to lose to make my abs noticeable and make me healthy.(I get shortness of breath easily when working out)

You seem fine!!!
The way not to do it is starve yourself, to start with. Just exercise and eat right. I did….lost 90 LBS because of it. Starving yourself won’t help at all. Drink more water, eat less before bed, and don’t eat for stress are the 3 things I follow and i’m going pretty well if i don’t say myself. 90 LBS isn’t anything like 5-10lbs so take my advice. If you want anymore details, feel free to email me. Just please be patient for ppl seem to email me for advice on this, I will reply, don’t worry! ~Adia
