i'm 16/f.
i want to loose some weight, not alot, but some. and i want to get toned. i found a workout in seventeen that i've been doing for maybe 2 days. and i've kind of added my own moves.
i was wondering this...i've already decided to drop soda. which i know you can drop a TON of weight just by that. but what if i ate kinda small portions of healthy stuff? would that make me unhealthy? i was thinking like..oatmeal for breakfast or something, or some toast. and then rice cakes for lunch at school, or one of those cambells soup at hand things. and then have some kind of healthy dinner. would i basically be unhealthy? would it slow down my matabolism?
yes, dropping soda is great because sugar becomes fat eventually and excess sugar goes into your blood stream and becomes trigylcerides; not that you have to worry about that till you are much much older, but making new healthy habbits now is super!
all you really need to focus on is getting rid of sugar and portion control...don't think it means no good junk food; it means eating right ammout, being sensible...for example; i use to order a large meat lover's pizza; now it is only meduim's and they last three days at least!
if you plan on doing any weight training which is key to loosing and keeping off weight, go slow...don't go over board or you may burn out, get bored and quit...

You have to be careful with the diet plan you have laid out. Rice cakes provide very little nutritionally. Make sure you eat your veggies and fruits or take vitamins to make sure your body is still getting what it needs. I would say it's better to have a nuritionally sound breakfast and lunch, then eat little for dinner. Bigger meals are better earlier on in the day.
