Teenage years are an ideal time to get a leg up on building a healthy lifestyle. Teenagers are often just starting to prepare some of their meals and make their own decisions about what to eat. Though some teens may diet in order to lose weight, it is also important to develop a way of eating that makes your body function well. Athletic teens should pay close attention to their nutritional habits as they will be stronger assets to their teams if they're in optimal health. Dieting teens should work with their parents or a nutritionist to make sure that they are getting all of the nutrients they need on whichever plan they choose.
Atkins
Dr. Atkins diet has been popular since the 1970s and is often thought of as an extremist plan. However, there is truth to the foundation of the diet, and, if followed properly, dieters can reach their goals. The major premise of the Atkins diet is the restriction of carbs and simple sugars. Dieters focus on consuming protein and produce. This diet is easy to follow as there is no counting calories or fat. Foods are either acceptable or not on the Atkins plan. Athletes should be careful to make sure they are consuming foods that will supply them with energy as many athletes rely on "Carbo-loading" to get through long events.
Calorie Counting
Restricting calories can be annoying, but it's not difficult as long as you're willing to keep a record of what you've eaten. It takes some practice but after few weeks, anyone can make a solid calculation of how many calories are being consumed. This diet is all a matter of math. You need to consume the appropriate amount of calories for your body in order to provide it with just enough fuel. Its important to work with a doctor/nutritionist to decide how many calories you need to maintain health. Over-restricting can affect growth and cause malnutrition. By over-restricting, you could end up losing weight, but damaging your body in the long run.The amount of calories you need are also determined by the amount of activities you participate in. An inactive teen might need 1600 calories, but that same teen might need a few extra hundred if they run several miles each day.In the end, if you consume the amount of calories your body needs, and maintain an active lifestyle, you will stay/be fit.
Gluten/Dairy/Sugar Free
Everyone's body reacts different to certain foods. It's important to know how foods make you feel. If you are otherwise healthy, but feel sluggish after eating lunch each day, you might want to examine the specific foods you eat. Some people feel weighed down by bread. Others have a difficult time digesting dairy products. Others yet find that sugar makes them excessively tired. If you have an extreme reaction, it's wise to get tested for allergies.Regardless of any official allergies or intolerances, consider giving up one possible offender for your health. Some athletes find that they function better without excess sugar. Others can workout harder by switching from skim milk to almond milk. Try this diet plan by eliminating one item from your diet for several weeks. Keep a log of how you feel, and if you feel better without that item, keep it out of your belly. Avoiding foods that don't react well in our systems can help keep us healthy and fit.
