heya guys- i hope you can help me out, because i am sooo confused!! My mom is a doctor, and she says that if i want to lose weight i have to cut down on fats like cake and fries etc, and eat a lot of bread, pasta fruit and stuff like that. But my dad says i need to eat the same as what i normally eat but half as much, and my sister says i can't eat any carbs like bread or pasta because they make you fat and that i need to eat more protein. Who should i beleive? Which would work best? I have also started exercising, which is the only thing that my family agreed on for weight loss. I am 5'3 and 118. Has anyone got any ideas on what actually works: hgh carb, high protein or half the amount.

Reply from Camille, Age 14 - 07/09/02 - IP#: 63.78.42.xxx Yes I have ideas for you! =) Don't eat too much of anything, but you should have slightly more carbs than anything else. Don't eat that much meat! Eat good meats like turkey, chicken (not fried) to get your protein. The main way to lose weight is to cut calories. Good luck! :P
