i am 13 and i am 15 pounds overweight. dance starts in month and i want to lose it by then. a list of foods that will help will be awesome. and other tips will really help. please help!
for the past 4weeks ive been dieting strictly.in the first 2 week i lost about a stone but then it started to slow down and wouldnt get any less. anyways ive since realised that my body went into starvation mode so everything i ate my body stored more fat from it because it didnt know when i would eat next. in the 4th week i realised that despire eating less than 400 calories a day id put on weight! now im trying to budge it up abit and eating about 700 calories, (which may still not be healthy but im taking it 1 step at a time.)
anyways if your finding it hard i would suggest using lipobind (its safe and you can pick it up from anywhere e.g. boots) It binds fat from foods so you end up taking in about 30% less fat.
If thats not for you try going on the spark people website. Its amazing- and FREE! You can get anything from recipes, motivation, tips, calories counter etc. http://www.sparkpeople.com/
Also switch foods. I try to snack on anything that has less than 100 calories. Boots Shapers crisps are amazing, they taste lovely and have about 65- 80 calories per pack. snack a jacks are yum aswel. also if you love chocolate have abit of dark chocolate to satisy your craving- try ‘eat natural products’ (dark chocolate and nuts) which you can get from sainsbury’s.
Finally, try to walk (ie. invested in a stepometer). basically you should aim for 7000-10000 steps a day. 10000 steps burn on average 500 calories. but if the weathers rubbish or you drive alot like me, invest in a stepper. i try and do about 2000-3000 in a day while watching tv.

Eating less and moving more is an free way to lose weight.Not necessarily easy or fast though.
Eat 5 servings of fruit and vegetables daily.Cut red meat from your diet, choose white, lean meats.Eat less dairy, opt for low fat or fat free.Choose high fiber, low fat foods such as beans, vegetables, whole wheat pasta and grains.Steer clear from processed foods.Avoid high sugar, high fat foods such as cookies, candies, chocolate,etc.Exercise at least 30 minutes, daily.

15 pounds in a month is really pushing it.
its healthy to lose 2.5 pounds a week… but that goes for adults, not teens.
Eat 6 *small* meals a day to jack up your metabolism and do cardio 3-4 times a week (for atleast 20 mins).
you still wont lose 15 pounds in a month, though

You cannot loose 15 pounds safely in a month. You need to concentrate on toning and the loss of inches and building muscle to replace fat. Take your measurements. Embark on a daily and appropriate cardio and weight/toning program. Eat a high protein and low carb diet with plenty of fruits and veggies and dairy. Take a multi vitamin daily. Seek out some information and a daily diet from your doctor/nurse – they know you and can best advise you as to the number of calories that would be best for you to pursue on a daily basis at your age. Avoid soda – switch to water, flavored water without sugar in it. Do away with chips and cakes and cookies – eat veggies and fruit and low fat yogurt. Avoid diet fads/pills/foods. Take your measurements every two weeks to see the results of your program. Don’t concentration on the number of the scale – that does not tell you if you are fit and toned! Don’t compare yourself to a friend or group of friends – everyone’s body structure is different!

Nutritionist advisement
Really, you’re 13 so you shouldn’t be worried about your weight yet. But here’s what works for me:
Stop eating carbohydrates. Completely eliminate bread, pasta, fruit and sugar from your meals. You basically have to survive on meat, cheese, diet drinks and vegetables. This is tough to do, but it works really fast. If you look on the nutrition label on foods, you can see the number of carbs in a food. If you can’t completely eliminate them, then try only eating them at one meal a day, and even then in moderation.
A sample day’s meals (this is the kind of thing that I like to eat):
Breakfast: Omelette with cheese and veggies (I like to top my omlettes with salsa) with a few strips of bacon and a glass of milk.
Snack: 1/2 cup cottage cheese (I like to eat mine using strips of red or green peppers to scoop it up). You can cheat a little here if you like and add some Catalina dressing (sooo good!)
Lunch: Salad with an oil vinaigrette (I like Balsamic), cheese, veggies (cucumber, red & green pepper, celery) and diced ham or turkey.
Snack: Turkey or ham slices wrapped around sticks of cheese.
Dinner: Turkey or chicken burger (unbreaded), without a bun, with mayo, relish, or mustard on top. Try it with salted cucumber slices on the side.
Plus if you’re dancing that weight will come off.
