How can I lose 10 to 15 pounds in 1 month?
Hi, I am 14 years old, 144 pounds, and I am currently 5 foot 1. I really want to lose 15 pounds in 1 month for about 2 or 3 months. I lost 20 pounds in a month at fat camp. And I understand that it was a program designed specifically for quicker weight loss, but I would like to try anyway. I eat a yogurt or a serving of special K cereal for breakfast, a luna bar for lunch, and then when I get home from school I have a small snack (smoothie, pretzel, ect.) but recently I just cannot get past this number on the scale. Oh and dinner really varies from day to day, but I try to keep it under 300 calories. I also exercise every day, I burn 300 to 400 calories by taking a walk with my dog. I also have lacrosse practice twice a week. But, nothing is working! I want an easy diet that will help me to lose 10 to 15 pounds per month so I can be ready for summer in 4 or 5 months. So, by the end of 3 months, maybe I can be about 110, which is my reccomended weight. I have talked to my doctor and she said that this is a realistic goal so don't get all self righteous, I know what I"m doing. Being a middle schooler, and a girl, I have a lot of pressure and I just want to be skinny. 10 PINTS FOR BEST ANSWER!!! THANKS IN ADVANCE <3 pa sorry if this was like reaaaallly long

You will lose faster if you eat protein. The foods you listed are mainly carbohydrates. Protein raises your metabolism so you burn more calories, it keeps the muscle tone so you look more fit and not flabby and is better at keeping you feel satisfied so you don’t eat more. Don’t eliminate carbs, just make sure there is protein in each meal. Could be that with the carbs you metabolism has slowed so it is harder for you to lose.

looks to me like your eating well. a good way to burn calories is to do incline. you can run or walk. stair steppers are also a good way to get your heart rate up. you cant lose weight only dieting you need to be active and work out. cardio
Drink at least 32 oz. of water a day, eat only food with high amounts of protein, always read the back of your food labels, try to consume 1200 calories a day, stay away from soda/juice it is only added calories, make sure your eat breakfast. Go for a nice walk around the neighborhood as exercise. If you don’t like walking alone, ask a friend to come with you or walk your pet.
Your not eating enough. What you need to eat it chicken. It has protein and is healthy. It will fill you up. Not eating at all or enough will make your body fat. Keep doing the excerside but give your body the nutrtion it needs
Something i did which helped me lose weight was.
i ate special k in the morning.
an apple at break.
a healthy sandwich (tuna or something)
an apple with that.
then for dinner id have vegetable stir fry.
now you can get healthy vegetable stir fry then get something like quorn or there is some fish which are good or you can always get some chicken or pork and you put that in with it that’s just to mix it up abit.
now whilst doing all of this drink water, lots. apparently around 80% of the time you think your hungry you actually need a drink.
i did this for a while and i ended up losing a stone and a half in about a month and a half.
oh yeah whilst doing this exercise.
exercise helps as well.
i used to walk my dog then do 50 sit ups before my dinner (because then your exercising on an empty stomach so burning off more calories for the food) id sit up for three rest for three (seconds)
and it worked well.
But be careful. i now you said don’t be self righteous, but seriously dieting can go wrong so please be careful and keep your doctor informed.
With that said.
Good Luck.
um hi and i might have a answer for your question see im 17 and i reacenty lost 100 pounds and how i did is i just ate fruit you need to eat fruit most likely apples people that have a high fiber deit usaly have a healther weist size oh and i ran every day i spead my matablism up
I’m 14 too, am 5′ 4", and weigh 100 pounds. I lost 20 pounds from last year by controlling the portion I eat, and I NEVER eat junk food. All my meals are very light, and I never take second servings. Check your weight every day to see if you are on track. DRINK LOTS OF WATER! It flushes out the toxins and fats from the body! I exercise 5 days a week, and burn 400 calories each time I exercise. I lose weight pretty easily, but everyone’s metabolism is different. I lost 3 pounds from last week. Looks like you’re on the right track. If you continue what you do, I’m sure you’ll lose weight soon enough! Good luck!
Well, this is not by any means healthy, but I tried lipex 2 and it works really good. It’s a quick fix and isn’t designed for long term use but I’ve been using it and lost 8 pounds in just over 2 weeks, so I love it. I got mine from a store called gear but you should be able to get it from any store that sells work-out supplements. It’s about 60$ for a bottle, i think you can get it online too. If you do decide to give it a try make sure you drink lots of water or you will get major headaches from all the caffeine.
Good luck
1.Set goals. You’ll be better able to make a realistic weight loss plan if you know how much weight you want to lose.
2.Identify your weaknesses. Are you a bread fiend? Do you have dessert after every meal and every snack? Is McDonald’s your second home? Find the weakness and throttle it. It does not own you, you are stronger and cooler than to allow some silly little craving to knock you off your path.
3.Throw away anything you know is tempting. Those cinnamon buns with 500 calories each? Gone. The ramen noodles in your cabinet? Gone. The problem is that this is not always feasible. Often times we are not the only ones in our homes and therefore the call of the food must be withstood. In this case, out of sight truly is out of mind. Put unhealthy, unfilling foods in a drawer or in a cabinet that you rarely use. Put them all together to make a particularly unappetizing sight. Don’t place them all in a decorative basket out on the counter. Place them in a drawer. A drawer heaping with pastries rarely looks like anything but a drawer of fat.
4.Eat less, but eat more often. If possible, eat 4-5 meals a day. This helps your metabolism and blood sugar to stay level as well. This does require a change in your schedule. Eat less within 6 hours of your bed time. You’re less likely to burn the calories closer to your bed time. It’s fine to eat a large breakfast and lunch because your body will be working on burning those calories for the whole day. Large dinners are likely to go unburned and converted into fat.
5.Do not skip breakfast. If you don’t have time to prepare breakfast, buy healthy breakfast bars or those smoothies on the go. It is important to eat breakfast to jump start your metabolism and give you energy for the day. Otherwise you will probably end up falling back on unhealthy foods during the day. Yogurt is also known to boost your metabolism.
6.Eat healthy snacks when you feel hungry between meal times. Healthy snacks would be things high in fiber, fruits and vegetables. Avoid high sugar and high calorie snacks. This will help you get nutrients as well as help lower your appetite so you won’t overeat during meals.
7.Increase your fiber intake. Fiber acts as negative calories. It’s also filling and healthy for your digestive system. Make it a part of every meal.
8.Eat slowly and chew more. Take time to enjoy your meals. This will help you to finish at the same time as others, and you’ll not be tempted by a second helping. Also, chewing more will ensure you get the most out of all the food and it will be digested faster. The more you chew, the more your appetite will be satiated.
9.Drink more water every day. Stay hydrated. While you don’t need 8 cups of water a day to stay hydrated, it’ll make sure you’re hydrated as well as cut down on your hunger levels and force you to get a little bit more exercise (trips to the sink, water cooler, water fountain, and bathroom). If you’re a heavy soda drinker, permit yourself to only one diet soda per day, maximum. Just one extra soda each day can add 15 pounds. Recently, fizzy drinks, even diet ones, have been said to slow down metabolism.
10.Increase physical activity. There are two ways to reduce net caloric intake: 1) reduce the number of calories in your diet and 2) Increase the number of calories that you burn in your daily activities. Both approaches are usually necessary and healthful and both are effective in losing weight. You can pick and choose which exercise you want to do, depending on your fitness level and drive. For example: walking, jogging, using the stair stepper, using cross training machines, swimming, tennis, and basketball. Weight training (and resistance training) can help reshape your body. The more muscle you have the higher your metabolism will be.
11.Find active friends. Find people that will drag you out to do more active things. It doesn’t have to be much, but any exercise even walking around the mall is better than none.
12.Don’t get discouraged. After one or two weeks of initial weight loss, it is quite common for your metabolism to slow down as it adjusts to the new calorie count. Stay on course and you’ll see results. In some cases, the scale will tell you your weight is barely changing, but you may be gaining muscle weight while losing fat weight. Also make sure to weigh yourself first thing in the morning to try to avoid the fluctuations in weight due to water.
13.Take all advice with a grain of salt. Everyone is going to have some tidbit of information for you. What worked for them might not work for you. Take it all in stride and work with what is getting results for you. Trying to do everything everyone says will only cause overload.
14.Eat more protein. If you choose to go this route, do not cut out all carbs. If you do so, as soon as you start eating carbs again you will regain your weight back. Instead of eating stand alone pasta, throw some meatballs or chicken in. Eat some beans, they are high in protein and very healthy for you. Increase the ammount of protein, but not by too much. The more protein you take in, the more water you should drink as well.
15.Eat less calories. The average woman should eat around 2,000 calories a day and the average male 2,500. There’s many ways to reduce the calories you intake. Try not to eat frozen dinners, pizza, or from fast food joints. There’s also certain drinks, such as Green Tea that are calorie reducers. Lettuce is another calorie reducer, but be careful because dressing tends to have the calories. Low fat/light vinnegette, balsomic vineger, red wine and vineger are pretty healthy dressings, but do not load it on
