Rules to Follow – teenage diet plan
The teenage weight loss plan makes it clear what to do:
Follow Height/Weight Charts to Help Set Goals and Monitor Weight Loss

Eat a Balanced Diet

Lose Weight Mostly by Burning Extra Calories…Which Means Exercise!

Go to Bed at the same time and Sleep 6-8 Hours Every Night

Drink More Water
Rules Not to Break – teenage diet plan
The teenage weight loss plan clearly outlines things that can ruin your dieting efforts:
Never Lose More Than 2 Pounds per Week

Never Lose Weight by Eating Fewer Calories without Exercising

Never Limit or Completely Avoid Eating any Food Group

Say No to Fast Foods (at least most of the time say no)

Don’t Fast or Skip Meals — The Best Way to Lose Weight is to Eat 5-6 Meals Everyday

Don’t Let Emotions Drive You to Eat
The Simple Steps – teenage diet plan
There are only four steps to complete when on the teenage weight loss plan:
Exercise
This is in addition to any physical activity you do during school. You need to combine some form of aerobic exercises with resistance training. This is the best thing for growing bodies.

Your muscles will become tone and "tight." The more tone your muscles are the more you can control your weight and prevent weight gain.

Here are some examples:

Walk with wrist and ankle weights 4-5 times per week for 45 minutes. Walk up hills as your conditioning improves.

Aerobic class with wrist and ankle weights 3-4 times per week for 30-40 minutes.

Swimming organized laps 4-5 times per week.

Circuit Training with Resistance Bands.

Supervised strength building routine using free weights and machines followed by 1-2 mile jogs, 3-4 times per week.

Eat a Balanced Diet and Slowly Reduce Calories
Reduce your calories by 5% of your normal caloric intake for two weeks. Then reduce your calories by 10% for one week. End with a 15% reduction in your daily calories for one week. That’s a total of 4 weeks of a reduced calorie diet.

Continue exercising and monitor your weight loss. Never lose more than 2 pounds per week. Add calories back to your diet as needed to stay below 2 pounds of weight loss per week.

Never try a low Carb diet, low Fat diet, or any diet that severely limits one food group.

Go on a Diet Holiday
Every 5th week of dieting, when you’re trying to lose weight, stop the calorie reduction and start eating the amount you normally would, but following a more balanced diet.

Continue exercising during the Diet Holiday.

Do this for one week and then restart the 4 week calorie reduction plan. Like before, start by reducing your calories by 5% of your normal intake for two weeks, followed by 10% for one week, and then ending with the maximum reduction of 15% for one week. Now repeat the Diet Holiday again.

Follow the Diet Cycle
In case you didn’t notice, it’s a diet cycle that you’re following. You gradually reduce your calories from 5% to 15% of your normal intake over 4 weeks and then start a one week Diet Holiday. Repeat the process until you reach your ideal weight.

That’s it! And, yes, it’s that simple. Tone (and maybe build) your muscles, slowly reduce your calories over 4 weeks eating a balanced diet, and end the cycle with a one week Diet Holiday (but keep exercising).

Is my diet and exercise plan healthy? 5

Posted on July 24, 2010 by lowfatdg

I recently lost 22 lbs. by cutting calories and working out. Now that I’ve lost the weight I want to keep it off, but I want to stay healthy and not go overboard. I am 5′ 7” and went from weighing 160 to 138. I was probably consuming around 3,500- 4,000 calories a day and working out for 30 minutes three times a week. I don’t count calories, but I know that I am eating much less than I was. I am careful about how much I fill my plate and don’t go back for seconds. I also cut out evening snacks ( I used to eat a lot of popcorn and ice cream). My guess would be that I’m consuming around 1,500- 1,800 calories a day now. I do aerobic exercises for 30-45 minutes every morning, then 10-15 minutes on my eliptical mid-day, and 10-20 minutes in the evening either on the eliptical or another aerobic exercise (30 minutes if I have a small snack after dinner). I exercise 6 days a week. Am I overdoing it? I feel that I need to consume more calories, at least 2,200, but if I eat more than I am eating now, I put on weight quickly. I also can’t skip a day of exercising or I put on weight quickly. I want to be healthy, but my family is starting to worry about me exercising so much. I’ve always eaten a low-fat diet, and I am trying to watch my sugar intake as well, otherwise, I haven’t changed WHAT I eat hardly at all. I just eat less of it.

I have been trying to lose this weight for 7 years, I don’t lose weight easily. I don’t want it to come back, but I want to be healthy. Is there anything I need to change? Thank you for your input!
