NY trip in 1 month!
16/f vegetarian
How can I lose 15 pounds in a month? I know I can work out and eat healthy (cut down on sweets and stuff like that) but could you give me a detailed list of exercises and foods so I can lose this weight. If you need more information then ask for it in your answer and I'll add to this.

the best thing for you to do is consult a nutritionist at your local health clinic for adequate diet advice. everyone's body is different so one diet might not work for you like it does for me.

You shouldn't try to lose that much weight that quickly. You need to talk to a nutritionist before you go on any type of serious diet or exercise regime. Call your family doctor, or look someone up in a phone book. Hope I helped!

*BELLY ROLLS*
Works: vertical ab muscles
What to do: Sit with your legs bent, feet flat on the floor and arms straight in front of you. Exhale and roll back until your lower back touches the ground -- stop. Inhale and roll back up. Repeat 15 times. Now exhale and roll back until your shoulder blades touch the ground -- stop. Inhale and roll back up. Repeat 15 times.

*TUMMY CURLS*
Works: horizontal ab muscles
What to do: Lie on your back and bend your knees at an (almost) 90-degree angle with the floor, raising your feet slightly higher than your knees. Exhale, lift your butt and roll back to your shoulder blades. Inhale and roll to your tailbone -- stop (don't let your butt touch the ground). Repeat 20 times.
~~~~~
*CROSS CRUNCHES*
Works: waist
What to do: Grab a liter bottle of water and lie on your back with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle with the floor. Cradle your left hand behind your head. Now hold the water bottle in your right hand, lift your head and shoulders off the ground and reach across your body, so the bottle is outside your left knee. "Pulse" 20 times. Switch sides and repeat.
~~~~~
*TAILBONE LIFTS*
Works: lower ab muscles
What to do: Lie on your back, arms stretched straight over your head and legs fully extended and crossed in the air. Exhale and lift your tailbone, then slowly lower as you inhale (don't just drop -- resist on the way down). Repeat 30 times.
~~~~~
*INVERTED CRUNCHES*
WORKS: lower back
WHAT TO DO: Lie on your stomach, arms in front of you as if flying. Exhale and lift just your right arm and left leg as high as you can. Inhale and lower. Then switch, lifting your left arm and right leg. Alternate, doing 20 lifts on each side. Finally, lift both arms and legs 20 times.
~~~~~
*DOORKNOB SQUATS*
Targets: butt, quads, hamstrings
Set a timer to 100 seconds. Stand facing the narrow edge of an open door, with your legs hip-distance apart and a footstool directly behind you. Holding your arms straight, grip one doorknob in each hand. To a slow count of 10, lower your body until it touches the stool (but don't sit down!). Pause, then raise yourself to a standing position to another slow count of 10. Repeat until the time is up.
~~~~~
*SIDE-LYING LEG LIFTS*
Targets: butt, outer thighs
Set a timer to 100 seconds. Lie on your right side, with your legs straight and your head propped up in your right hand. Bend your right leg at the knee and place your left hand on the floor in front of you for support. To a slow count of 10, lift your left leg 80 degrees off the floor. Pause and squeeze your hip and butt muscles before lowering to another slow count of 10. Repeat until the time is up, then switch sides for another 100 seconds.
~~~~~
*SINGLE-LEG CURLS*
Targets: hamstrings, calves
Set a timer to 100 seconds. Secure a one-pound weight on one ankle, then stand with your feet together. Keep your arms straight and lean forward, placing both hands on a footstool 12 inches in front of you. To a slow count of 10, bend your weighted leg, raising your ankle to your butt. Pause, squeeze your hamstring and lower your leg. Repeat until the time is up, then switch sides.
~~~~~
*HEEL RAISES*
Target: calves
Set a timer to 100 seconds. Stand facing a wall, with your feet parallel and hip-distance apart. Place a rolled-up towel under the balls of your feet, then lock your arms and place the palms of your hands on the wall for support. To a slow count of 10, raise your heels off the floor so you are standing on your toes on the towel. Pause and squeeze the muscles in your calves, then lower to another slow count of 10. Repeat until the time is up.
Also, working out in the morning before you eat burns more calories. And you need to run or do some cardio so that you won't just build muscle.
I think green tea helps to "clean" you out or something, i did hear that it was good for you.
Fruit, veggies, tuna, lean skinless turkey/chicken meat, WATER!!

First of all it would be very unhealthy to lose or even try to lose 15 pounds in 1 month, 3 months sounds like a better goal. By losing that much weight that quickly you risk flabby skin from where the fat was lost. If you want to lose weight eat only light foods such as salad, fruits and vegetables as well as noodles ect plus drinking plenty of water aids weight loss. Stay away from soda as it is high in sugar and sugar is what makes humans gain weight. Jog/fast walk/swim everyday for at least 30 minutes and do as many situps as you feel you can do. I will tell you running is the best way to tone and lose the pounds. good luck!
