I feel very saddened that so many teenagers are trying to lose weight by really unhealthy methods… is no one teaching youngsters about healthy eating? Don’t they teach nutrition in school any more? Do kids not do home economics or cookery? Why are so many teenagers over weight in the first place, then resorting to dangers ways of slimming down? Do parents not cook healthy meals or help their kids make healthy choices?
well as a 17 year old male, ive lost nearly 4 stone since i was 16, i’m now nearing my ideal weight for my height (5 foot 11).
the reason i decided to lose weight is because i was heavily overweight and very unfit, i wanted to look better and feel better, i’m now much happier.
i lost weight by eating healthily, 3 meals a day and only snacking on fruit whilst 90% of what i drank was bottled water, i’d also do a minimum of 40 minutes excercise a day 4 times a week, in school holidays i’d do 1 hour and 20 minutes.
that was extremely hard to do , but worth it i still have a small amount to lose but as i now go 2 the gym 4 times a week so losing that small bit and toning up shouldn’t be too difficult.
the reasons i was overweight are my parents were so i was given the same food they ate which was bad food and large portions of it, my metabolism was very poor i knew people that ate just as bad as me but didn’t put any weight on, i did no excercise.
i think parents cook less healthy meals because the world today is obsessed by money, and the more money the more working hours, with little time they go for the quick and easy options. people need to realise that wether we are billionaires or have very little money we all die the same and life is for living not for earning money and wishing you’d done something.
alot of teenagers that are overweight simply lack any willpower, they don’t want to put in the effort and determination (and its very hard work excercising especially as your unfit) but if you don’t keep at it you’ll never get slimmer or fitter.
most just want a quick fix like a diet pill that does the work for them.
