How to Lose Weight Fast for Teens

Recommended Answer:

For weight loss, dieting is more effective than exercise.Reducing your intake of junk sugar will help as in items 22 and 106 in http://www.rheumatic.org/sugar.htmThe natural sugars in fruits are OK as they are metabolised to glucose slowly due to their high fiber content. Fruits are low in calories and are not fattening.Most fruits are metabolism boosting foods and most vegetables as well and that helps for weight loss.

Other Answers:

• uhh, exercising and not eating junk food but instead healthy food might help
• GM DIET! 10 LBS IN A WEEK AND YOU EAT NON STOP. GOOGLE IT. Fasting is good if not done longer than a week.
• It actually helps to lose weight if you do eat. But eat right. Lots of water, about 8 glasses a day. Eat about 6 meals a day, but little things, not like big dinners. Have a healthy breakfast, and maybe a morning or evening jog.
• If your friend is anorexic, she may already be at an unhealthy low weight. If that's the case, she doesn't need any healthier ways to lose weight- she needs to deal with her eating disorder and start getting serious about being healthy.If she's not truly anorexic, but is showing an unhealthy body image and eating disordered behavior, she still needs to deal wit her eating disorder and start getting serious about being healthy.The most important thing is to be healthy and sane. Being thin should not be a priority. Model healthy body image and behavior by never making "I'm fat" comments about yourself or in relation to anyone else. Be active- walk, run, go swimming and play sports. Enjoy healthy delicious meals but don't focus on them excessively. Hopefully your good influence will rub off on your friend- or at least you can help to avoid triggering her, and you can make sure that she doesn't make you uncomfortable about your own body. http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/developing-and-maintaining-positive-body-image
