Anyone know the top secret fat loss secret? Who would be willing to share it with me?
I am a 15 year old, overweight girl. I hate it when people make fun of me because of my weight – it is so embarassing! I would like to know the top secret fat loss secret from someone who is willing to share it with me. I’m desperate. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Any fat loss tips, too.
Thanks.

I only know of one real answer: Eat less, exercise more.
Before you make any drastic changes though, you may want to check with your doctor to see if there are any medical reasons for your weight.
Increase your exercise level. Add a 20 minute walk daily. The walking will spend calories and improve your muscle tone.
Keep a log of what you eat. Learn to estimate portion sizes and calorie counts. After a couple of weeks, you will have an idea of your eating patterns. Reduce high calorie foods and substitute fruits, vegetables and whole grains if you can. Fats have more calories than carbs or proteins, so most people try to cut fats. Don’t go on a zero-fat diet as your body needs some fats to process other foods.
Mayo Clinic is a good web source for information. http://mayoclinic.com/health/HealthyLivingIndex/HealthyLivingIndex
Good luck!

I was in a car accident at that age. Went from 170 down to 95 in 1 month in the hospital. Mostly muscle and water loss which I wouldn’t suggest. Also had my wallet stolen at the beginning of a 7 day bus ride cross country. Ate one Milky Way bar that whole trip- lost 20 pounds then.
Not eating works, but extreme amounts of exercise is best. I biked 20 miles to work every day as a kid and was thin. As soon as I got my truck and started driving I got lazy and put on the pounds. Get in shape now because as you get older it only gets harder to get/keep the pounds off.

Low Fat Foods don’t work
You cannot lose weight using Low Fat Diets. Low fat foods have been popular for more than 15 years, but yet our society is getting more overweight as each year passes. This fact alone should tell you that eating a purely low fat menu is not the answer to losing weight.
Low Calorie Diets don’t work
You won’t lose weight using a Low Calorie Dieting Plan either. In fact, eating low calories is the worst thing that you can do to your body, since that will only slow down your body’s fat burning engine and ruin all chances of losing weight (low calorie diets may allow a few pounds of weight loss for the first few days, but then after that all weight loss comes to a halt — known as a dieting plateau). You can never get slim by starving yourself.
Low Carb Plans don’t work
You’ll probably find it extremely difficult to get slim using a Low Carb Dieting Plan. Low carb diets have recently become popular over the last couple years, but the problem with low carb menus is that they are too strict and TOO HARD TO FOLLOW for average people. Low carb menus tend to rob your body of too much energy (carbohydrates) and make it nearly impossible to remain on the program for very long. This is why so many dieters find it difficult to follow a strict low carbohydrate menu.
