This week’s question is as follows:
Question: Okay so I’m 14, 5′7, and around 180 lbs. I really want to lose weight around my thighs and belly so I can swim at the lake in my bikini. Can someone please help? I know I will have to exercise and eat healthy. But I don’t know what exercises to do or how much I should be eating. I really want to do this to help my self-esteem and to gain confidence. Does anyone know any good exercises that I can do to get in shape? And what should I be eating and what should I stay away from? Please and thank you(:
Okay, do things like slim fast work?

Answer: Exercise is not nearly as important as eating right, so i would suggest a low-calorie diet. So if you eat around 2500 calories a day normally, you should try for 1500 calories a day. You can basically eat as many fruits and vegetables as you want because most of them are at least 90% water. (Not to mention they work miracles for you).
Stay away from MEAT, any salty, greasy things like chips and french fries, anything artificial (if you CAN stay away from it..) dairy (especially products made from cow’s milk) however it’s alright in small amounts.
For exercise I would just try going on really long walks. I’ve been walking 2.5 hours average per day and it feels awesome. Running isn’t my thing so I’m not going to tell you to do that…
Good luck sweetie
