Hey, i think its great that you have decided to change, welldone it takes a lot of guts, guts that i can't find right now but im getting there! anyway, instead of eating 500 cals for breakfast and only 100 cals at lunch, split it 50:50 so its like 300 for each because if you only eat 100 cals at lunch you may find yourself dying for a binge later onin the afternoon! maybe not but its only a suggestion! x

For your age and my age we should be getting at least 2000 calories a day or else you are not getting all the nutrients that you need. You will still lose weight weekly if you do this. This is the kind of diet we are suppose to be on. It is not healthy for you to eat just like a thousand calories a day. It will eventualy catch up with you and you will not have very much energy. Us teens need a nutritional diet and something we will keep doing even when we get down to the disired weight. We need to stay healthy and learn healthy habits. Thanx for posting so I could respond. I hope this helps you out. I just got this great book that you might want to look into. It is called ,"The Diet For Teenagers Only." It is great you will love it. Sorry for my bad grammar. Love Chels.

Okay switch to low fat and fat free foods. Like switch to 1% milk and then work your way down to skim milk, use 50% light cheese, fat free mayonnaise (I prefer fat free miracle whip. It has more flavor) and stuff like that. Don’t eat a lot of butter. Try using Butter Buds which are butter flavored granulates. You can find them in the seasonings section at the store. Eat high in fiber foods like whole wheat bread instead of white. Instead of eating regular pizza try frozen smartones or south beach diet pizzas. And instead of ice cream try south beach diet cookies and weightwatchers ice cream bars, weight watchers cake, healthy choice ice cream, no pudge ice cream bars, or skinny cow ice cream bars. They have a lot of desserts out there that aren’t that bad for you! Some things I find helpful is to eat a small salad with fat free dressing with lunch and dinner. It makes you more full when you go to eat your main meal. Don't eat too many sweets. Make sure you don't have soda or chips on a regular basis. Eat LOTS of fruits and vegetables. And drink A LOT of water! Exercise daily. You can walk, or you can run, or ride your bike, or swim. Whatever you choose to do make sure you exercise for at least an hour daily. If you want you can just walk for thrity minutes and then swim for a little while and then just do outside play like jumping on a trampoline or playing basketball. weigh yourself every week and keep track of your weight. if you feel like snacking try drinking flavored water to satisfy your sweet tooth. Pay attention to portion sizes. If the serving size is one cup, don't have more than one cup. Portion sizes are one of the most important things in dieting. And remember to have faith in yourself. If you get yourself down it'll be ten times harder. And also remember to let go every once in a while and eat something that isn't in your diet! Good luck!
