My diet
I'm not sure if you are someone who knows about these types of things, but if you don't... please don't ignore my question, instead could you give me the name of a columnist who may be a nutritionist? or just knows a lot about nutrition? Thank You :)
Anyway, I am 5'1 and I'm about 156 pounds. I wouldn't say that I look as short and fat as I would seem to be. Most girls my age are about 110 pounds and most of them are even taller than me! They all look so cute in their bikini's and I just am so jealous. I refuse to go to the beach with them and pool parties just because of the fear for being in a bathing suit. I know that there isn't anything wrong about wearing a one piece or a tankini, but most of the other 16 and 17 year old girls wear bikini's. I'm sick of being so afraid of my body. This summer I want to wear a bikini and I'm determined.
I went to Whole Foods today and talked to the guy in the section with all the nutrition shakes and pills. I told him that I wanted something to loose weight, that was good for me. He let me buy two samples of this shake that I replace with two meals a day with. Here are the facts:

He said the mix half of the powdered substance with vanilla soymilk for breakfast, and then the other half for lunch. Then eat a meal for dinner of all the food groups.
I was thinking for my dinner I would eat (all small small small portions)....
Meat- half a link of turkey green onion sassuge chopped into rounds and cooked on a hot pan on the stove.
Vegetables- Half a cucumber
Fruit- Half a banana
Fats Oils and Sweets- NONE (since thats what I need to get rid of)
Grain- None...
..... does that sound good? I'm really picky. I just want to make sure that I am doing this right.
ALSO, I know I have to exercise, and I have exercise videos that I will do DAILY. I will do a cardio one and a yoga one everyday.
How long do you think that it would take for me to get this flat tummy?
(oh and can I also copy and paste this question to someone else because I really need the answer by tomorrow :} ) (But you were deffinatly my first choice, Young Grandma! )

Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
I really wish I knew more about this! I have the perfect person to help you though. I just hope he
answers as quickly as you need him to. He is very good and while he is not a nutritionist, He is a certified fitness trainer and knows a LOT about diet and exercise in a healthy way. I personally would ask him this question.
Let him no you are serious. He has stopped answering a lot of questions because when he gives people the good advice they need, he has been rated down because people just don't want to hear the truth.
Feel free to copy/paste your question to him. He is going to give you the answers you need to be a success! Good luck. :)
