How do I go about teenage weight loss?
You are absolutely right to be worried about interrupting the growing process! I have been short all my life as well, and can relate to that concern. It sounds like you are a great weight to me for that height and age. If you really are concerned, the best way to lose fat is not to “go on a diet” but to make a lifestyle change. http://www.mypyramid.gov/ is a good site that tells you what foods to eat and how much. Following those guidelines will help you to get all of the vitamins and calories you need to grow tall without growing fat. It is all about a balanced diet and getting enough fruits and vegetables. Honestly, it is impossible to lose weight in just one place. Your body will decide for itself where it wants to store fat. For some people, it’s their stomach, for others it’s their butt or hips. Don’t listen to those advertisements you might see, you really can’t choose to eliminate fat in one area. Sometimes, just standing up straighter will help make your tummy look flatter. Exe
