I am a thirteen year old girl, and i need to lose weight (20-25 pounds) and keep it off as quickly as possible but i don't want to buy any fake "miracle weight loss products" or hire a personal trainer. What should i do?

Try to eat healthy, small portions every 2 hours so you matabolism will be running constantly to burn off what you eat. Also, drink 64 oz. of water daily (IMPORTANT) it's better to drink it during or after a meal.example..

breakfast- fruit
snack- anything under 150 calories
lunch- 4 oz. of meat, 1 cup veggies
snack- fruit
dinner- 4 oz meat, 1 cup veggies
snack- anything under 150 calories.

**Don't drink regular pop!!, if needed, drink diet!
**Try not to eat for 5 hours before you go to sleep
**Lower your salt intake, stay away from fried foods!

Also, try to get in some exercise! Even 15 minutes a day will make a big difference. Dance in your bedroom, go for a walk, anything will work!

- I've been on this diet for 2 months and have lost 30 lbs. Your only 13 years old so I would try to stick to something similar to this, that way your getting in healthy foods and not restricting yourself from anything that your body needs. Try to keep motivated! It's hard at first, but after the first week you will start noticing good results and it's simple from then on!! Also, I don't know how much you weigh, but try to stay at a helathy weight, don't try to lose too much! Check out a BMI chart to see what a healthy weight range is for your age and body type!

GOOD LUCK!!!

I'm a 16 years old girl and I'm not fat at all but my arms look a little big and I want to make it skinnier.
I'm a vegan already so I know what right foods I should eat but what exercise would help so that I won't gain muscles?
I know If I want to lose weight from my arms then I'll have to lose weight all over my body.
So what types of exercise and how often should I do them so that my arms will be in perfect shape?

If you lift weights focusing on your biceps and triceps.
You will gain muscle if you keep increasing the weight that your lifting. However, If you focus on a light weight and just keep increasing your reps, then you may increase a little bit of muscle, but it will mostly just help you "tone" your arms so they arn't flabby, you definitely won't look muscular..lol.

I am trying out the South Beach Diet and it has been a challenge since I am a total bread lover. What should I do if I finally caved in during Phase 1 and consumed bread? Do I recover myself the next day and continue on, or do I have to reset and start the two weeks all over again?

I am beginning to think the South Beach Diet is not for me, because I have not lost any weight in the 1st week that I was on Phase 1 (before finally having bread)

Listen, dieting isn't about cutting out one thing to lose the weight. The only thing that will happen is that when you do lose the weight and you start eating 'normal' again you will just put the weight back on, fast. What you need to do is change how you eat. Eat bread, but whole wheat bread and pasta. Add more veggies to your diet. Eat 5-6 times a day. Eating small meals boosts your metabolism. When you eat 3 bigger meals that's when some of it goes into reserves, otherwise known as fat. A meat portion is the equivalent to a deck of cards.

I lost almost 10 pds in less then 2 weeks just by changing my eating habits. I cut out soda completely. I DIDN'T cut out sugar. Your body craves it and when you don't give into cravings then you will over do it when you do. Fake sugars only make you crave the real stuff more.
