Question Posted Wednesday January 10 2007, 6:21 pm
Age: 13
Height: 5'8-5'9
Current Weight: 200 lbs.
I need to go on a diet. Simply out of question, it's something I chose and I must go on a diet. I'm looking to get down to 160 lbs at the minimum. I've tried Wight Watchers and the most I lost was 10 lbs but then I stopped because I couldn't handle the temptation. How can I get down to a flat stomache? I can't resist that well. How long will it take?
Additional info, added Wednesday January 10 2007, 6:23 pm: I am in school and I need a way to resist the food there. I heard you show eat 6 small meals a day but how can I do that at school? Or if you have any other programs or excerices let me know.. Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness? yoliv answered Thursday January 11 2007, 8:15 pm: That is really hard. My dad went on a diet for like a 3 days (haha) and lost 2 ilbs on Slim Fast. Weight Watches works well, uhh theres this thing, ii forget what its called, they send you food for like a week and its like desserts n stuff too?; anyways.... working out at the gym works. You could get those Lean Cuisene things.
Hope I helped!

Although some people are totally against it long term, Adkins is supposed to work wonders for quickly dropping pounds.
My mom actually went on Adkins for about six months and lost a total of like, 45 pounds.
The first week you try to each NO MORE than 20 carbs a day.
She doesn't really eat much breakfast, maybe a bowl of cereal, depending on the brand, then a large salad with low carb dressing [or lemon juice--that works too] and chicken [NOT fried. baked.] for dinner.
The second and third weeks are when each few days you allow yourself a few more carbs, to check if you are gaining weight. If you gain weight after you allow yourself ten more carbs--then don't each those ten more carbs.
If you don't gain weight with those ten carbs--that's ten more that you can eat. :]
A big side note is that WATER has ZERO carbs, fats, cals, but is VERY good for you. make sure you drink PLENTY of it.
remember, 'diets' like adkins aren't meant for lifetimes--that's not good for your system.
Eating healthy and excersize is the only lifelong, safe diet.
