weight
im 16, 5'2 and weigh 109 i know thats not fat but my stomach could use some working on. like 3 years ago i had the perfect body minus boobs haha but anyway like my stomach was flat my waiste was really small everything was wicked skinny but i got mono and i lost alot of weight but it slowed down my metabolism and i gained7 or so pounds. i diet and excerisine and whatnot but like i want my tiny body again. when i sit i have rolls and like it makes me so self consious. my dad tells me to do crunches but you cant "target" spots so i just run because hey my thighs and arms could get smaller too but like once your thighs are big is it true that they wont get smaller because like that fat turns into muscle so you get big muscular legs? im not sure but can someone give me good exercise and diet tips. i want some like fad diets like drink cranberry juice for 48 hours or like cute things like that. oh and im also a vegeterian.

You misunderstood me. I wasnt telling you to use atkins, I was using atkins as an example of a fad diet that does not work. South beach doesnt work.
Hmm. Perhaps sugarbusters. That is a bit more effective. Its not about focusing on meats its about cutting carbs and refined sugars. That might actually work if you work it into your lifestyle. Cut out soda, try to avoid white bread, that sort of thing.

Ok. First off, dieting isnt meant to be cute. And fad diets dont work, thats why theyre fads.
Generally a fad diet means that you are shocking your body into losing weight. Take Atkins. You eat meats but nothing that provides energy, and your body suddenly starved for carbs goes into panic mode and starts eating itself to survive.
Then it adjusts, and you stop losing weight. Then you go back to your old eating habits, and it comes back.
I'll tell you something. 5'2 and 109 is hot. As far as being in shape, that is in excellent shape and very attractive.
And something else. Having a little softness to yourself is not a bad thing. My girlfriend is 5'7 and about 150. She is in great shape, she has the tiniest bit of belly, and I think shes all the more beautiful for it. Shes soft to my touch, when I hold her I don't feel bones I feel... woman I guess.
And fat does not turn into muscle. Often if you work out alot you build muscle, and burn fat. But fat itself does not turn into muscle. Fat is made of oils and other compounds called "Lipids" which are a form of stored energy. Muscles are made of protein fibers. The body does not convert one into the other.
