If you are an adult you cannot grow taller by losing weight. Not if you have already finished growing. Though an adult will not actually grow taller if they lose weight, they can appear taller because they are now slimmer.

Do you lose weight and get taller by playing football?

The workout, practice and game schedule might well induce one to lose weight, but like all exercise any weight loss program also involves controlling one's intake. As to getting taller, the answer is absolutely not. You have the causation exactly backwards. Taller people have an advantage and therefore do better in the game (all else being equal), which means that players tend to be taller. The game doesn't MAKE them taller any more than basketball does.

Does it depend on weight for height?

No. I don't think weight determines someones height. Once you grow as tall as you're gunna get, you stop. You don't shrink if you gain or lose weight and you don't get taller if you gain or lose weight. But, being short and fat isn't a real pretty combo, or being really tall and extremelly skinny.

You are 21 and you weight 120 it that the healthy weight that you have or do you have to lose weight?

No you do not need to lose weight. 120 is a good weight (in pounds or kilograms it depends on your height), but it all depends on how tall you are. If you are any where from 4'11 (150 cm) to 5'4 (162 cm) 120lbs is a good weight if you weigh 120 kg you should be much taller (over 6'8" or over 204 cm) . If you are shorter you may need to watch what you eat. If you are taller you might want to make sure you are not starving yourself.


I am a 15 year old boy 5'6 220 pounds and I am going to lose weight will I become taller and how do I become taller?

You will become taller during puberty and will also lose fat during this period, though your total weight will probably increase due to increased height and increased muscle mass. Each boy has a slightly different time that they start hitting their growth spurts, but it should happen to you soon.


Do you lose weight when puberty PROPERLY hits you?

It varies. Often the child don't lose weight but get taller so it evens it out. Just eat healthy and exercise and wait until you are out of puberty at 18-20. You are like a bun in the oven so we have no idea how you will turn out.
