How do I lose fat on my body?
I’ve been wanting to lose fat for over 2 years now, but I’ve realized I don’t know how. I’m in the swim team, but thats not that effective really. I don’t know about a diet because I’m still 14 and I don’t get to choose what my family eats at dinner. So that basic question is, what are some ways to lose fat on the body? (like overall stomach, thighs, arms, ectect) Thank you!

well to lose fat u hav to burn more calories than u intake, u can eat less but u still have to make sure u r eatn a balanced diet. But if u still want to eat lots than balance it with more exercise.
U cant really choose where exactly u lose fat, but if u plan to make a exercise timetable for urself. It gives u something to follow. and also choose a realistic goal to follow like i want to lose at least 2-3 kg this week that way u have something to aim for.
as for exercises try cardio workouts like using a skipping rope, walking, jogging and such, but doing something u like e.g. swimming will make it more interesting

Usually when an individual decides that they want to become more physically fit…it means to lose weight. This is most common because 65% of Americans are overweight or obese. This literally means that about 2 out of 3 people are affected; that 2 out of 3 Americans are unhealthy. Decreasing body fat percentage rather than weight will not only make you look and feel better, but it will also make you healthier.
Try this next time you are in a public place. Look to you left and to your right, and then look at yourself. Do over 60% of the people around you look physically inactive, overweight, or obese? Now look at yourself. Are you included in this number?
Cardiovascular training is a great resource for decreasing body fat percentage. When combined with the correct diet, it can also lower cholesterol, improve cardiac response, and increase blood flow. The benefits of cardiovascular training are endless, but depending on your goals, there are certain things that you must keep in mind.
When doing cardio for body fat loss, be sure to maintain your Target Heart Rate. Your Target Heart Rate is basically a range of two numbers that the hearts beats per minute (bpm) should be in between. Here is how you can find out how to find your THR:
First thing in the morning, while still in bed, calculate your heart rate (HR).
Subtract your age in years from 220 to get you standard maximal HR.
Subtract the your morning HR from your standard maximal HR.
Multiply the result of step 3 by 0.60.
Multiply the result of step 3 by 0.70.
Add your morning HR to the result of step 4.
Add your morning HR to the result of step 5.
Your target HR training zone is between the two results of steps 6 and 7.
THR is important because it puts the body in its favorite fat-burning zone. If you go above these numbers, you begin to break down protein and amino acids, the building blocks of muscle. So it is possible to do cardio without losing muscle, and actually decrease your body fat percentage.
Resistance Training to Decrease Body Fat Percentage
While it is very important to do cardio, it is also very important to participate in resistance training. When you do cardio for the purpose of losing Body Fat (BF), you are basically reducing the amount of fat between the muscle and the skin. Individuals who are very lean have a small amount of fat blocking muscle.
Resistance training while also doing cardiovascular training is essential. When done correctly, you will begin to cut into that layer of fat between the skin and the muscle. Resistance training will then increase the size and strength of that muscle, pushing it toward the surface, creating an extra lean look.
