Diet plans for teens
ByI get tones of emails about diet plans for teens. I don’t answer teens personally because my understanding is that they need to speak with their parents not to a strange in Internet (aka me). Anyway, I decide to share my personal opinion what should be a good diet plan for a teenager.
The first thing that needs consideration is that teens spend/need more energy compared to an adult person. Or this was true 10 years ago, when computers were not so spread and teens didn’t tent to sit for a long time playing games or chatting.
I will assume that a teenager is more active person who grows and needs a little bit more energy to sustain life. Diet plans for teens can’t be very restrictive in calories; they need to be restrictive by the type of foods but not by calories.
We all know that junk food is not good for the health and you can gain weight if you eat it regularly.
1. It is a cliché but stop eating junk food and you should see quick results and you will start to lose weight immediately.
2. Stop drinking soda.
3. Stop eating sweets more than twice per week.
Follow just these 3 steps and you should see fats weight loss.
Activity is important. Consider sport activity once or twice per week – this will speed your metabolism and combined with above 3 steps is like a fat eraser.
You don’t need diet plans for teens – just don’t eat and drink junk things and consider some activity – it is so simple!
But if you insist here is a good diet for teens.
TIPS !
1. Eats Healthy
2. Workout 3
hi am a wrestiler and i am on the point where i may not make the waith that i want! i wheight 51.8 kilos and i whant to be in the 51 wheight class! that means that i must be under 51! i don’t want to move up what do i do!

no u should not stop eating. studys show that if u stop eating u will actually gain weight. SORRY BUT U WILL. u probably have more mussle then u have fat and mussle weighs 3 times more then fat good luke and injoy life.
ok my brother is a wrestler and no dont jut stop eating because as soon as u do or drink water its gonna come right back. try to sweat more if u want to loose weight. some people dont understand how wrestling works but i o i know how tough it is. so trying eating just tons of fruits and veggies. drink only water and wear tons of clothing all the time so u sweat and run a lot it helps
hope this helped u some
good luck xoxo

Hello, I am the mother of a very insecure thirteen year old. She has begun to get really interested in boys at her age. She always say “mom i need to lose weight”, and I know she is self concious at her age. What could work best in helping her to get what she needs before going into highschool
Should we go on a diet together?

I’ve figured that people my age, (13 to 14) are so obsessed with being skinny. And i admit i want to be thin, but boys do like curves! So just cut back on the junk food, and go for a jog occasionally. It’ll soon go:D
hello, i am so impressed to read all of these comments. i have a 15 year old daughter who has been going through an eating disorder disease for over a year now. she started by being obsessed about loosing weight. she kept on saying that she wanted to “feel” good, “look” good, and be “confident”. everytime she looked at herself in the mirror she saw a fat image. things got worst !!! she stopped eating…. all she put in her stomach was ice and drunk a lot of water. yes… i wont lie to you…. she did loose weight…. but she had to pay a very high and sad price for it !!!! she got anorexic. she lost a lot of weight and became skin and bones. she lost control of her weight and life. i forced her to eat…but it only made it worst… she would eat… but she would run to the bathroom to trow up. she developed Bulimia. today… she still hates it when i ask her to eat. she is still seeing therapists, but no matter how many times she sees them…. it is up to her to get better… she still has in her mind that she has to loose more weight. i hope that this help you understand that you can easily loose control of your mind once you get obsessed with the thought of wanting to loose weight. please be careful.
