I Need To Lose Weight Bad, Im Thirteen And Considering Diet Pills, Help?
Ok, i am about 5′2 and WAY overweight.. im like almost 180?
Serious answers only.. but i was wondering, i work out a lot but i just continue to gain weight.. could i use hoodia green tea diet pills? I have read everything about it and it seems ok.. help?
I dunno.
I’ve taken hoodia, but it doesn’t help you lose weight, it just suppresses your appetite so you don’t feel hungry. but you can take the green tea pills if you want just to help, but make sure they’re natural. here are other things you can do to lose weight:
drink lots of water, and eat regularly. don’t starve yourself, because once you start eating again, you’ll gain everything back, trust me.
eat lots of fruits and veggies, and if you eat bread, make sure it’s whole grain. white bread is pretty fattening. you can also eat lean meats, like fish, turkey and chicken breast.
skip out on sweets, candy, sugary foods, chips, ice cream, cake, and cookies.
if you feel hungry, but don’t want to over eat, chew gum. it’ll keep your mouth busy and it tricks yourself into thinking your eating.
cut out ALL soda! if you stop drinking soda, it helps you out a lot!
and don’t forget to exercise!
try walking, jogging, jump rope, dancing, bike riding and swimming. try exercising for 45-80 minutes a day.
good luck!
Don’t take hoodia. A lot of the answers you will see here will tell you to buy some sort of supplement. Don’t take diet pills. They are unnatural and dangerous. It is not the lack of pills that got you heavy; that is not the fix you need. It was (most likely) improper diet and lifestyle that got you the extra weight. That is the fix you need.
The best way to lose weight is through the principles of balance and moderation. You need to eat good food and eat enough of it.
Shoot to lose 1-3 pounds per week. No more. Don’t go hungry, just keep yourself filled with good, natural foods.
Don’t worry about calories. Caloric science is flawed for several reasons. 1) it assumes 100% absorption, but we all absorb and excrete different amounts; 2) It assumes all calories are processed the same, but calories from natural sources are burned more slowly and evenly than from refined sources; 3) It assumes that the amount of energy released by combustion (burning) in a lab is the same amount of energy released when the food is broken down enzymatically in the gut; 4) It assumes that the same exercise done by different people will burn the same amount of exercise, but different exercises will be harder or easier for different people; 5) Correlation does not prove causation. People who are heavier eat more calories: did the calories make them heavy, or did being heavy make them need more calories? Maybe they are both symptoms of a deeper problem. 6) people in China consume 25-40% more calories; even the sedentary office workers have more calories and less obesity than we.
Asian cultures have long ago figured out how we should be eating, Ever since we have looked to science to tell us how to eat we have seen more obesity and diet-related disease. If we eat like the Asians, we will look like the Asians. This doesn’t mean you have to eat Asian food, just adhere to the principles that are common to the different cultures and cuisines.
You should eat mostly vegetables, mostly cooked (cold and raw foods slow your metabolism because they need to be cooked in your stomach) and a wide variety, mostly fresh and in-season and local, simple grains (more rice, less bread), some fruit, a little meat, no dairy (it’s for infants and grows tissue), and no artificial foods.
Avoid artificial foods, including sugar substitutes. Don’t worry about calories, fat, protein, carbs, nor any one component of food.
There are several books that explain this strategy of eating. “The Asian Diet: simple secrets for eating right, losing weight, and being well” by Bussell explains the diet and its rationale. “The Asian Diet: get slim and stay slim the Asian way” by Tran has recipes that adhere to the principles. “The China Study” by Campbell has the science behind the recommendation.
Get some exercise every day, but not too much and not always the same exercise. Start slow and work your way up. Calisthenics are great, as is Tai Chi. Walking and swimming are also great. All other exercises should be in a wide rotation.
Follow the principles of balance and moderation and you’ll be fine. Most diets in America are not balanced nor moderate.

i wouldnt recommend diet pills. you’ll probably become dependent on them, and ive read so many reviews, and you lose about 4lb a month on them, which makes them such a waste of money.
i would start an exercise regime, something fun that changes everyday.
and get a dance mat, they burn SO many calories and its so easy to spend hours on them.
also visit your doctor, you could have a food allergy thats causing you to gain weight the more of that food you eat.
and maybe switch to a gluten-free diet. x
I am afraid if you start down this useless road you are pretty much doomed. 2 in 3 so called dieters who use pills or other so called quick fixes end up heavier in the long term.
You must combine sensible diet with regular vigorous exercise to stand any chance of sustained weight loss.
Seriously, you need to eat less. In the end it is a matter of calories consumed versus calories burned. Burn more than you consume in order to lose weight. Continue your regimen of exercise and cut down on your calorie consumption. Ask your parents to prepare lower calorie meals.
whats your diet like? how many times a day do you eat? what kind of workouts are you doing? diet pills are never really a very good alternative to good diet and exercise because as soon as you stop taking them you will regain the weight and they are not designed for you to take for extended periods of time…

You need to eat less. Eating a pretty vegetarian diet would help (a lot of fruits and vegetables have low energy densities). Go a little hungry throughout the day or part of the day, and exercise. Diet pills are nothing but speed and/or laxatives.
No diet pills! Most of them just accelerate your heart, which is dangerous.
Use cardiovascular exercise jogging/running.
It’s work, but almost definite results.
Make sure you set goals otherwise you have nothing to measure your progress, and make it realistic.
Diet pills will damage your kidneys and liver permanently. This will make your life miserable as you get older. If you live that long.
What type of exercises are you doing? You shouldn’t take any pills because they don’t work and if they did, once you stop them the weight would go back on
Diet pills only allow you to ignore your bodies pleas for nutrition. Your body won’t release fat stores if you lower calories below what it needs and increase exercise. It will slow your metabolism to compensate and store every spare ounce as fat. If you continue lowering your calories, it will continue lowering that set point, til you can survive off nothing and store fat on anything. The body will only release it’s fat stores if it knows there is plenty of food.
You will lose more body fat eating protein and fat (don’t eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast eat all you want but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter and half an avocado a day (you’ll need added potassium). Keep the calories high and the fat percentage high, at least 65% of calories. Adding in green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.
If you starve yourself by lowering calories lower than are needed for the body to function, your body will freak out and will want to store every ounce in case it doesn’t get nourished again. You need to give it adequate nourishment so it doesn’t slow your metabolism down to adjust for lower calories.
Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) triggers insulin which can store the calories you eat into fat. The more protein you eat the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate you eat the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.
Simple carbs are addictive and can be disastrous to our health. The best way to break the addiction is NO carbs for 3 days. Make a huge batch of deviled eggs and eat one every time you want “something” have huge omelets for breakfast, with bacon, a lil onion, peppers, mushrooms & cheese. Pork chops for lunch. Get pork rinds and eat them with tuna salad. Steak for dinner. Make a huge sugar free cheese cake for dessert. Eat so much you won’t feel deprived of anything. By the fourth day, your addiction will be gone and you can start making healthy choices.
High insulin levels unbalance other hormones. Controlling your insulin level will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so you will gain lean muscle even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase your muscle mass with high HGH levels.
Once you get near your goal, you start adding 5 carbs every 3 days til you gain weight, then you subtract 10 carbs. That would give you your personal carb level (everyone is different and it depends on how active you are.) As long as you remain <9 carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control, and shouldn’t gain weight. Many people gain weight on high carb, then switch to low carb to lose weight & then are shocked when they return to high carb that they gain weight. Many people can return to moderate carb levels but very few can really eat all they want of sugar and maintain weight or health.
Dr.Atkins was a cardiologist, low carb was a health plan easier sold as a “diet” Read any of his books for easily understandable science. Lutz “Life without Bread” & Taubes “Good calorie, bad calorie” are excellent books that dispel all the nutrition myths.
Reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass will have you in awesome shape in no time. Good luck!
