How to Lose Weight Fast for Teenage Guys

Everyone with extra pounds would love to lose the weight fast, especially teenage boys faced with peer pressure and self-esteem issues about their body. Teenagers normally are influenced strongly by peer pressure and prefer to keep their body in the best shape possible. Not only does losing weight improve physical appearance, it improves health. Weight loss can decrease the risk of diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. The fastest and healthiest rate a teenage boy can lose weight is 2 lbs. per week.

Instructions

Telling friends and famly about your weight-loss goals to increase your chances of success.

Talk to your family, friends and school counselor about your weight-loss goals. Before you begin dieting and exercising, tell people you interact with daily about your plans. This will prevent temptations to stray from the plan. With their knowledge of your goals, your friends and family can encourage you. Discussing your weight-loss plans with parents will lower the risk of losing weight at an unhealthy rate. They will be able to buy healthier food for you and avoid giving you junk food.

Fruits are a delicious and nutritious alternative to sweets.

Change your diet to include fruits and vegetables, and less junk food. Fruits and vegetables have water content and are low in calories, unlike greasy junk food, which is loaded with calories. Eating fruits and vegetables will provide you with vitamins and minerals that you need to grow into a healthy adult. As a teenage boy, you still need plenty of nutritional foods. Make sure you eat whole grains and foods with fiber along with low-fat and skim milk products. Look for foods such as oranges, strawberries, peppers, baby carrots, low-fat yogurt or string cheese.

Eat the correct amount of calories each day. The amount of calories you will need to eat per day depends on your age, size and weight. If you are a young or small teenage boy, you will only need around 1,500 calories each day. Older or taller teenagers need at least 2,500 calories per day.

Another option, wrestling, will also help tone your body.

Exercise at least three times a week, with four days of rest. Don't let exercising be routine and boring. You can make exercise fun. Play basketball with your friends, or go to the park to bicycle. You can join a karate or boxing class. Consider joining a sport at school such as track, baseball or swimming. It will be easier for you to remain physically active if others are having fun with you.

5




Eat a healthy cereal or fruits and vegetables for breakfast.

Eat breakfast to give a jump start to your metabolism and increase energy for the day. Starting the day with a healthy breakfast will raise your chances of staying on a healthy diet plan all day. You will be less likely to snack and your hunger will decrease.
