I think my main problem is that I can get full after only eating a few bites. When someone makes food and I only ask for a little or dont eat all my food they always ask "what, are you on a diet?" so I always eat more. I'm too young to go to a gym, and I don't have a bike or anything. Also, when my mom goes grocery shopping, she buys food that we can make on our own, like frozen pizzas, stuff like that. I would really like to lose about 20-25 pounds. How long will this take? Are there any exercises I could do around my house?
How Can I Lose Weight in a Healthy Way?
Recommended Answer:
Losing 10 lbs a month is a good and safe target. Any faster weight loss is likely to be temporary only and in most cases you regain it all.
Running, jogging, cycling, swimming, dancing, push ups, sit ups, squats, brisk walking and power walking all help for weight loss but dieting helps more.
One of the healthiest weight loss diets is the DASH diet.
The healthy DASH diet can help you lose weight safely and effectively, lower your cholesterol and lower your blood pressure.
It is based on an eating plan rich in fruits and vegetables, and low-fat or non-fat dairy, with whole grains. It is a high fiber, low to moderate fat diet, and is rich in potassium, calcium, and magnesium.
You can see further details in a web search for "dash diet for weight loss".
- Well, your age is relevant here. If you're too young for a gym and too young to learn to cook, you're too young for us to give diet advice to. Talk to your parents.

- Since your young as long as your active then exercise is not an problem. You need to watch what your eating, DO NOT EAT FAST FOOD, fast food is empty calories and will only hurt you in the end. If your serious about it then ask your mom to make you more meals with much more vegetables in it. It may not taste good but will help your body and your weight loss. Also eat more chicken, not fried or kfc but lean white skinless chicken breast and lean beef. This will help your muscles grow and recover faster. Don't drink soda at all, limit the amount of juices you drink also. You should be pretty much be only drinking water, your body needs a lot of it. Don't serve yourself big portions, eat until your not hungry, don't eat to get full. This should be all you need to lose weight at a young age. Don't forget to exercise everyday, like sports or walking, biking, something active. Goodluck, the weight can take more than two months depending on how much your excersizing and how healthy you eat

- Fatty foods are actually more addicting than people would think. Ever notice how it's hard to just eat one chip or m&m? Your body adapts to the simple sugars and it becomes easy to digest those. Your body is very smart and has the ability to adapt very well to different situations. But when we put our body in bad situations constantly and supply fatty foods our body will actually have a harder time digesting fruits and vegetables. Ever get cravings? That's your body telling you that you need something, like a vitamin. But with an extended time without fruits and vegetable your body will no longer crave for that and recognize it as vital, however your body still needs this in the long run. Its important to build habits. It also goes the other way. It gets easier to eat healthy the more you do it. Your body will crave those healthy foods. I started making smoothies. They're delicious and satisfied my munchies and also were very healthy. Now I always crave smoothies. I lost 60 lbs!
Drink a glass of water before each meal. That will help fill you up a little so you don't eat too much.
