Yup, it's alright for kids around the age of 15 to be dieting! I've dieted before and I was 13 years old! The South Beach diet is really great! You can buy a book about it and it'll tell you how about it! Hope I helped :)

Generally speaking, it's not a good idea to be getting into quite severe diets (things like Atkins or the 'cabbage soup' diet which cut out whole food groups for any length of time) when you are young and still growing, as these can alter your metabolism in the long term, which can be bad for you and can make it harder for you to maintain a good weight for you in the future.
That's not to say that if you are overweight you shouldn't try to reach a healthier weight for your height (the 'if' part being key - nobody who is't overweight should be dieting, period), it's just that given that you are young and still growing, you've got to be careful about the way you do it, cutting down sensibly and exercising more rather than going for 'fad' diets which often provide only short-term solutions. Cut down on rather than cut out things you enjoy like sweets and fizzy drinks, as this is infinitely easier to stick to, and try and drink lots of water. Do exercises that you'll enjoy - rather than just simply trying to do x many situps or cruches a night, do sport which is also fun and social, as you are more likely to form good habbits if you enjoy the things you are doing.
Loosing weight the sensible way can take what feels like a long time, but it's much better for you given your age. Talk to a dietician at your doctors if you can and feel this would be beneficial. Good luck and all the best.

ok. . . well dont consider it a diet first off, because then you will go back to eating and exercising normal and you will put it all back on, depending on your lifestyle now. So, consider it, a way of living. Eat healthy, low-carb food, and stay active, 20-30 minutes of cardio a day. Something reasonable and achievable. My guess is that you dont want to lose weight, you want to lose inches, and that would be the best way that I could think of doing it, it's also the most common weight-loss solution for kids that age. Try to stay away from high-starch foods like bread and pasta, rice, etc. Good food would be, most vegetables, most dairy and meat products.

no more soda, its really really bad! eat more breakfast and less of other meals. stay away from grease and salt, drink lots-o-water. water is the key to life. and the key to losing weight. its your best friend, it washes out your entire system in time.
