Quick Weight Loss Tips For Kids

Posted in Uncategorized | June 7th, 2011

Is weight loss for children easier?

I’m 5’0 tall….12 years old….and 150 pounds. My mom and doctor are obviously concerned and stuff…but the other day, my mom told me to start losing weight now as I’m a kid because If i get MORE fatter as i become an adult, its going to be even more harder to lose all this fat. She said something about children’s fat not being as stubborn as adults because it hasn’t been in your body for so long? Now my mom is no doctor..but is this true?? and some tips for MY weight loss would be great.

Please..don’t say..”oh, your OBESE….consult a doctor..get medical ATTENTION QUICK!!

I already did….so screw off and answer the question above ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It is true, it is easier to lose weight when you are a kid! This may turn out to be really long but it isn’t me lecturing or anything mean, it is me trying to help!

Some things you can do are drink more water! Sound cliche and silly but its true! You body stores fat, and all when it thinks it needs it later because it is dehydrated. If you give it more water it won’t feel the need to store it. I know that wording didn’t really make sense but bare with me, I am a teenager! :p. I’ll put a link to an article about it.

Also you don’t have to totally cut out junk food just limit it! A big problem is limiting the ‘bad’ foods, say you open a big bag of chips don’t sit there with the bag of chip in front of you, you will never know when to stop or how much you ate! Get a small bowl and fill it up this way you limit yourself and don’t go back for seconds! Don’t forget to have a glass of water with it, it will make you feel fuller, and more satisfied, less likely to want more.

Do you ever feel hungry just because you are bored? Like you are not actually hungry you just want something to do? Have a piece of gum! And a glass of water! Oh gosh, I sound crazy! But just try it there is no harm. Did you know many people have trouble telling the difference between hungry and thirst?

Another thing is have more fruit! Instead of grabbing a cupcake have a peach or watermelon or your favorite fruit, try it at least once or twice a day. You can still have some junk food but try to limit yourself, it would be awesome if you could cut it out totally but who can do that when your young, like come on? :p. Hahah.

And eat more vegetables with dinner and lunch. Instead of french fries have green beans or something. Instead of mashed potatoes have broccoli. Vegetables should be colorful! You can also chew on carrots as snacks when you are hungry outside of meal time.

OH WAIT THIS ONE IS REALLY IMPORTANT: no soda, no soda, no soda!!!! when you are a restaurant get a lemonade or… water :p. Soda does really bad things to your kindeys and other organs and there is so many calories and sugar in it and causes you to gain weight. Simply cutting out all soda can greatly aid you in losing weight.

***Okay enough of me babbling here’s some water articles:

… And of course EXERCISE.. but, I am not one to comment on that one, I am not a really big exerciser lol. Walking, jogging, jumping jacks if you don’t have access to a gym. Look up zumba if you like dancing, a lot of people love that. Cardiovascular exercise if KEY for losing weight so you can google that for other activities.

Another random tip: Don’t lay down after eating, it makes it harder for your organs to digest weight could make you gain weight.

Good Luck! (: Message me if you need further assistance.
