Answer:
First of all you are not at all overweight. But if you want to shed a few pounds do cardio exercises and eat healthy with VARIETY. Cardio exercises include running, jogging, biking, or boxing. Pick the one you like the best and stick with it. Do not starve yourself eat a variety of foods but eat healthy. This entails eating fruits, veggies, carbs, meats, dairies, and fats. Just limit the amount of fats. Eat healthy and stay fit and you will be happy with your body no matter what your weight.
go to a doctor and ask him her to give you a diet, at that age you need someone to tell you what is important for you or not, you are still developing your body and growing up so he will be the best one to tell you what to eat and what not to eat and what kind of exercise will be good for you.
Eat watermelon in the morning instead of your normal breakefast...in-addition to doing 20 situps before each
meal.
Hey I completely understand. When I was 13 I felt the same even though I was skinny. I am 15 now and love my body. I eat whatever I want but I work out for 30 - an hour a day. I think a diet would be wise also. Try to limit the sugar and salt. Hope I helped. By the way I think your body is good. But I understand not liking it.
Properly diet by eating healthy food choices! Avoid "starches" such as bread,rice,potatoes and baked goods. Limit your sugar intake as well-You don't need all those empty calories! Eat until you are contented,not until you are full. The hunger feelings will only last about half an hour,or until your body has been satisfied with food. And you don't really have to eat alot to satisfy it! Try more healthy snacking-as opposed to Large Meals...and drink alot of water too! It would not hurt to also incorporate some Light Abdominal Exercises as well. They do not have to be hard or painful excercises,just enough to work the muscles around your tummy! Go peddle a Bike,or even a leisurely walk would assist also. Key word (Stay Active). For your Height and Size,I would not recommend that you lose any more than 15 pounds. That would put you reasonably close to your "ideal" body weight and mass! Also try drinking Citrus juices...that have no added sugar! (ie) Grapefruit,Orange etc. It will take abit of time before you see results,but do not get discouraged...this is quite normal! And your body needs the time to make adjustments...before shedding off any excessive fat! Also,while dieting...you should get yourself a good Multi-Vitamin supplement like Centrum! Good Luck!
Ur tummy isn't that big u know... Anyway, since u're still 13, it's better if u have lots and lots of exercise... And btw (in case u don't know, it means by the way), My mom once said that when u want to lose some weight, not eating when u're not hungry isn't really a good move coz sometimes, I forgot why, but it can make u fatter instead... U can also try being taller, that way, u won't lose weight but u'll lose u're tummy. Oh, and one more thing, try to have a balanced meal, not too much food if u don't really need it... And also, don't eat snacks while u enjoy watching TV too often. If none of these stuffs I said worked on u, try seing a doctor instead... OK?? Gbu...

Always Think Fit:First step in exercise is to always Think FIT. To make physical improvements, you need to work your body harder than usual. This is referred to as the overload principle. As your body becomes more conditioned, you need to increase the frequency, intensity, or time of your workouts in order to continue improving your fitness levelChoosing an Exercise:
The best exercise is an activity that you enjoy enough to really pursue enthusiastically.
鈥ndoor (Facility) Activities: If the treadmill, stairmaster, rowing machine or stationery cycle doesn't excite you, sample some group activities that strike your fancy. Participate in a group cycling class, beat stress with yoga, find balance with martial arts, stay cool with indoor swimming, or kick some you-know-what with boxaerobics.1. Change your eating habits (i.e. start eating smaller portions of food) before if you ate a full plate of food try eating 2/3 of a plate instead.
2.
o Substitute aspartame for sugar
o Try eating 3 or 4 smaller meals during the day rather than 2 large ones
o Eat your main large meal at midday with the other meals much smaller in content
o Don't eat heavy meals late in the evening as the body wont have time to digest it so it ends up stored as fat in your body.
o Balance your meals out during the day so in one day you have a mix of protein, carbohydrate and vitamins
o Drink lots of water during the day and before, during and after exercise, you should drink at least 8 big glasses of water per 24 hours
o Drink alcohol in moderation
o Stop smoking if you smoke or cut down
o Eat more fibre i.e. pulses grains nuts, pasta, brown rice, cereals, fresh fruit
o Eat more vegetables as part of your diet
o Eat less dairy products or choose those with less fat content i.e. cottage cheese
o Try steaming or poaching food instead of frying it, frying adds calories by the bucketful
o Cut down on Red meat and eat more lean or better still chicken and fish instead
o Use low fat oils in cooking i.e. sunflower, corn or Mazola
o Cut down on your salt intake, there are hidden salts even in tinned foods
o Try substituting carrots or fresh fruit instead of biscuits and sweetmeat when you have a craving for something in between meals.
o Drink semi or skimmed milk as opposed to full cream
Simply choose a diet which is low in fat and cholesterol, moderate in sugar and salt and high in fibre but at the same time has a variety of everything thus making it a balanced diet.Calculate your BMR!!
BMR means Basal Metabolic Rate.It is used to estimate how many calories you should consume.By using a simple formula called the Harris-Benedict principle, you can assess your BMR.
Your BMR is the amount of energy your body needs to function.Then, to lose weight, you'll need to cut calories or burn extra calories and shoot for a level lower than the results you get with this formula.
We use about 60 percent of the calories we consume each day for basic bodily functions such as breathing.Other factors that influence your BMR are height, weight, age and sex.
Step One : Calculate your BMR with the following formula:
鈥omen: BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)
鈥en: BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)
Step two : In order to incorporate activity into your daily caloric needs, do the following calculation:
鈥f you are sedentary : BMR x 1.2
鈥f you are lightly active: BMR x 1.375
鈥f you are moderately active (You exercise most days a week.): BMR x 1.55
鈥f you are very active (You exercise daily.): BMR x 1.725
鈥f you are extra active (You do hard labor or are in athletic training.): BMR x 1.9
Create a Calorie Deficit:
In order to lose weight, you must create a calorie deficit. It is easier and healthier to cut back your calorie intake a little bit at a time.
Every 3,500 calories is equivalent to 1 pound.
If you cut back 500 calories a day, you will lose 1 pound per week.
If you exercise to burn off 500 calories a day you will also lose 1 pound per week.
Ideally, you should do a combination of both, (e.g. cut back 250 calories; burn an extra 250 calories).
