Overweight and obese children and teens is becoming an epidemic in the United States. Many teens are very sensitive about this issue, and wish to change by losing the belly fat. Here are a few tips especially for teens to help with the battle of the bulge and lose the weight especially the belly fat.
- Commitment is necessary! You really need to want to lose the weight and be prepared to do the work to get the results.
- Step away from the junk food! Junk food is not just chips and burgers and fries. Junk food includes white bread, white pasta, and processed foods. Eat whole natural foods whenever possible.
- Hydrate! Drink water and green tea instead of soda and energy drinks.
- Starvation does not work! Do not starve yourself; instead eat small amounts of healthy foods often throughout the day. Try to include protein with each meal including breakfast.
- Skip the fad diets! Instead focus on boosting fiber and nutrition through developing healthy whole food eating habits.
- Get off the couch! Find something that you enjoy, start slow and build up your exercise program. Work out moderately with both cardio and strength training but do not over do it. Do not just focus on sit ups and crunches but focus on the whole body.
- Be patient! You didn’t gain all the weight in one week so you aren’t going to lose it all in one week either. Remember that you are making lifestyle changes concerning food and exercise.
Typically teens have a high metabolism; however, when overweight the metabolism slows down. The good news is that teens can rev their metabolism back up easier than adults by simply eating right and beginning a moderate exercise program
