Here are excellent ways for a 13-year-old to lose weight. Ideally, weight loss for a 13-year-old is best achieved through complete family participation if and when possible. Thirteen is the perfect age to create optimum health patterns for the rest of one's life. You may first wish to check with a physician before significantly changing eating or exercise habits.

  • Regular cardio exercise is excellent for weight loss. When done correctly, it is a super fat burner. Cardio can be such things as brisk walking, jogging, running, or cross-country skiing, etc. For safety, exercise with an adults. Further down this page, listed under Sources and Related Links, there are two free cardio exercise plans to show you how to do it or to advance you further.
  • Strictly limit refined processed carbohydrates(apart from a weekly treat). Refined processed carbohydrates are a major cause of unwanted weight gain, obesity, type 2 Diabetes, Heart disease, and other diet related diseases. If you are unsure what these foods are, you will find a list, further down this page, listed under Sources and Related Links.
  • Replace those foods with nutritious 'fat burning' foods and make good use of the thermic effect of these foods to burn body fat. Drinking plenty of fresh water daily will help your body to do this. If you are unsure what fat burning foods are, you will find a list, plus more about the thermic effect of these foods, further down this page, listed under Sources and Related Links.
  • Get your carbohydrates from natural sources such as fresh vegetables and fruits such as berries. Eat plenty of quality protein such as fish and chicken (unless vegetarian, or course). Your fish and chicken, etc., should not be coated in breadcrumbs or batter. Add to your protein plenty of fresh vegetables and salad, and a little fruit every day. Remember to include beneficial fats and oils; they are essential for life and good health. Seriously limit junk food and sodas (apart from the occasional treat).
  • Do not severely restrict calorie intake. It can slow down your metabolism and make it harder for you to lose weight. This is another reason why it is better to count carbohydrates rather than severely restrict calories.
  • In summary, strictly limit refined processed carbohydrates (apart from the occasional treat). These foods are a major cause of excess body fat and many other diet related diseases. Get carbohydrates from natural sources such as plenty of fresh vegetables and some fruits. Replace refined processed carbohydrates with fat burning foods to make good use of the thermic effect of these foods. In addition, do regular cardio exercise, which is an excellent fat burner. It is important to do cardio exercise at the right intensity. For fat loss,this should be not too low and not too high.
