Hi, i'm 17, but i cant seem to lose the weight. i'm 2 young 4 diet pills and i work out regularly. please help
Question:
Answer:
Try eating less carbohydrates and stop drinking soda...
maybe the reason why it's not really "flat" is because your body is structured differently. if your torso is shorter and you are constantly slouching over, then expect to see some bulge in it. try standing up straight, notice how your stomach seems flatter?
ur too young for diet pills. i was taking them when i was 17 (im 18 now) u probably just need to find the right excersize that works on the places where u want to lose
Eat something for breakfast every morning. and be patient.
you could go to a doctor to see if you actually have a problem with your body about losing weight. you could also try to go to a weightloss center and eat many healthier foods. if you lose weight in one bite you could be putting more on. so watch your calories and try to excersise a little more.
Just exercise!
taking your age into consideration.you probably look alot better than you think you do.but pilates can make abs flatter ...also try "slim in six"...cheap on ebay.don't you dare try any pills...you'll just get more frustrated with no results
before breakfast eat an egg to get some protein and drink a cup of coffe. after that do a powerwalk for 40 minutes. When you get home eat some oatmeal and sandwiches and such so you are really full. eat a fruit as 10 o clock meal, at lunch eat really much, think long and hard on the sugar. dont eat much at dinner. dont eat anything before bed. do some wheight lifting also. And remember that it does NOT exist a magic pill to lose weight. And you cannot "point train" away fat. for example doing 300 situps a day does not effect the fat on your belly, it effects the fat on your whole body.
quick and dirty explanation :-) actually its really simple. eat right and excercise!
Try doing different excercises. Abs are hard to get flat, esp if you're doing the wrong thing. Try doing pilates, and read the article through the link below. Also, drink lots of water and get your proper 8 hours of sleep at night. It might not seem like that stuff plays any role in how much you weigh, but it does ~ trust me!
Here are some suggestions for losing overall body fat which will result in losing fat in your stomach area. I would recommend you to focus on cardio. Also you cannot "spot reduce" a certain area, the only way to lose fat from one area is to lose fat overall.
You need a good combination of aerobic activity and resistance training combined with a healthy diet.
It is not recommended to lose more than 1-3 lbs a week. If you want to lose weight the correct and safe way that will stay off for the long-term you need a good exercise and nutrition plan.
A good program looks like this:
Always warm up and cool down
Muscular strength & endurance-you need a good resistance training program that includes exercises for all muscle groups(hips, chest, upper and mid back, legs (quads and hamstrings), shoulders, lower back, upper arms (biceps and triceps), calves, forearms, abdomen, and the gluteus maximus).
Your intensity should be 70-80% 1-RM or 8-12-RM, 8-12 reps, 1 or more sets, 3 times a week for 6 weeks or more. You should begin with 1 exercise for each major muscle group and make sure the days you do resistance training are not consecutive meaning you don't exercise the same muscle group two days in a row. As you continue your program you can add more exercises, add weight, and change up your program to include more days or just work specific muscle groups on specific days. As your muscles grow stronger you will be able to reduce the rest time between each set. You should rest for about 30 seconds between sets. Muscle is metabolically active and therefore when you gain muscle it burns more calories and helps to raise your metabolism.
If you do not have money for a gym membership or do not have acess to one here is a great website to create a work out plan only using your body weight.

You can also search for all kinds of exercises that use weight.
Cardiovascular Endurance-this is where you can burn fat the most and that leads to enhancing your muscles such as the abs. You need to include a warm-up and cool-down. I have an extensive answer on this section if you would like to read it

Body Composition-this includes your body fat percentage, bone frame, as well as how much muscle you have. Most people focus on only weight, but you should not put as much focus on that as much as what your body fat percentage is (get it tested at an exercise facility with skinfold calipers). You should also get circumference measurements done. This includes your neck, shoulder, chest, waist, abdominal, hip (buttocks), thigh (proximal), thigh (mid), thigh (distal), knee, calf, ankle, arm (bicep), forearm, and wrist. You should be able to do this at a gym. You should get all of this information done before you start your program and then you can see how you improve.
Flexibility- Most people do not even think about this, but it is very important because it helps to prevent injury and it helps you to perform every day activities. It also has an effect on all your other programs. You should perform 10-12 flexibility exercises every day. Slowly stretch the muscle to a point of mild discomfort but not necessarily pain. Hold stretch for 10-30 seconds, and do 3-5 reps for each stretch. This should take about 15-30 minutes per session. If you do not have time to do this every day, try to do it 2-3 times a week.
You have to make sure that you eat right and that means following the food guide pyramid. I have another answer that discusses this
