Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
You shouldn't cut off all sugar entirely. Especially if you go to school and read on a daily basis. By doing that you burn off all the sugar in your brain, and in order to stay all up-and-at-it ect. you need to eat some sugar from time to time.
I suggest fruits and vegetables, and exercising. It's definitely a must. Just try not to tire yourself out; you need some of that energy you'll be burning off.
Ahem. I have carefully done some research on this. -stacks papers in a nice pile- :]
I'd say you definitely need to stay away from pastas, rich sauces; starches, like potatoes. Those are things that will weigh you down and undoubtedly cause the scale to add a few pounds. A really good thing is salad with fish [ignoring the fact that i hate fish] if you like it, then salad with fish is wonderful.
If you don't want to eat as much, then drinking water throughout the day will keep you hydrated and your stomach full. And if you start to get tied of just plain old water, Crystal Light recently put on this cool-new-product for a calorie-free drink mix. (It's called Crystal Light On The Go, incase you were wondering.) It's very cheap. You can buy it at gas stations and stuff. You just open the little package, pour it into your water bottle, and then shake it up. (just be sure to put the cap back on. heh.)
Oh, and if you want to start running, I suggest you use an mp3 player while you're doing it, and put on some loud up-and-at-it dancey music. It'll take away the pain of running.
Just remember, it's nice to do stretches before exercising. You don't want to pull a muscle or anything. Then do some simple stuff, like jump roping, jumping jacks, running, knee-hoping. There's stair climbs, swimming, kick-boxing, and yoga.
Now, to get some fat off your thigh region, I quote,
"Starting Position: Standing up with feet together and arms at sides.
Lunge one leg forward making sure that the back knee almost touches the ground but never actually does. Now lunge back leg in front of the other and repeat this "walking" motion across the room. Don't pull ant muscles by moving too quickly; the slower the better and the more you will feel the exercise working. Use a long hallway for this or go back and forth a few times in a room. Do 25 lunges per leg.
*Hold hand weights if you are up for it."
And for your abbs and your stomach, and just want to keep it simple, do about 25-100 situps every other day -- Just don't forget to give your muscles a rest every once in a while. Otherwise all of this work will be for no good. Also, if you're exercising, don't follow what the scale says. Really. Just don't. Muscle weighs more than fat, but if you're comfortable with the way you look in the mirror, that's all that really counts, now is it?
I apologize for the long-ness, but I do take a lot of time to think out my advice. Hope this helps.
