I get tones of emails about diet plans for teens. I don’t answer teens personally because my understanding is that they need to speak with their parents not to a strange in Internet (aka me). Anyway, I decide to share my personal opinion what should be a good diet plan for a teenager.
The first thing that needs consideration is that teens spend/need more energy compared to an adult person. Or this was true 10 years ago, when computers were not so spread and teens didn’t tent to sit for a long time playing games or chatting.
I will assume that a teenager is more active person who grows and needs a little bit more energy to sustain life. Diet plans for teens can’t be very restrictive in calories; they need to be restrictive by the type of foods but not by calories.
We all know that junk food is not good for the health and you can gain weight if you eat it regularly.
1. It is a cliché but stop eating junk food and you should see quick results and you will start to lose weight immediately.
2. Stop drinking soda.
3. Stop eating sweets more than twice per week.
Follow just these 3 steps and you should see fats weight loss.
Activity is important. Consider sport activity once or twice per week – this will speed your metabolism and combined with above 3 steps is like a fat eraser.
You don’t need diet plans for teens – just don’t eat and drink junk things and consider some activity – it is so simple!
But if you insist here is a good diet for teens.

DESPERATE 4 RESULTS!
Okay I’m going to answer the two of you for her.
I’m 17 years old and I like to think I maintain my weight pretty well. A fun activity for girls, honestly, is getting a group of your friends and all of you just go for a walk together. That way you aren’t just walking, but you’re also playing “catch up” with all your friends. For guys, get with a bunch of your friends and have a weekly football game or basketball game. If that doesn’t give you results that you want then try to change your diet. Don’t cut things out all at once, but try to cut certain things out slowly, like instead of chips try grapes or bananas. Try multigrain wheat bread instead of white. Try vitamin water or V8 juice instead of soft drinks. Doing any of these tings can help.

Hi (: I am 14 years old & I weigh about 130 pounds. I want to lose anywhere from 10 to 20 pounds by September (it’s now July). It’s hard for me to get motivated to excerise & stick to eating right. I’m hoping to do cheerleading & softball this next school year (9th grade). I’m also thinking about riding my bike daily or a few times a week for 20 to 30 minutes. I think a specific ‘what to eat & how much’ type plan would be best for me. I would really like some help, from anyone. Please, give me any kind of ideas. I would really appreciate it (:
Hi..I am a 16 year old and I know it may not sound like much but I weigh 122 or I did. Before our house had to go back I was a good level and felt pretty good about my weight. Now ever since I moved in with my mamaw I’ve gained it all back. The worst thing is that they eat fast food almost everyday and theres nothing in this house that I like to eat. Also, the pop. My dad and everyone always has a pop in there hands, but I wont drink sink water. Its really hard with my lifestyle because Im always doing something like babysitting and school work. I really wanna lose weight because we are going to the beach soon and Im afraid to show off my stomach. PLEASE HELP ME! WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THIS OFF IN LESS THAN A MONTH????

Hi! My name is emily and i’m 13 years old. its almost time for back to school, and i really want to look good when i go back. i weigh about 115-117, and i feel terrible about myself. i know it doesnt sound like much considering that i’m 5 4, but i just wanna feel good about my body again. i would like to lose 15-17 pounds before school starts, but i’m not sure if i can. i really want a toned belly as well. i feel somewhat confident about my legs, but i would love to tone them after i lose the extra fat. my soccer season is starting soon, and we run a mile everyday, and i was wondering if that would help gte off the weight as well. thank you for your help! – Feeling Fat
hi my name is nicole and i have obese daughter. she is 5’3 and 235 pounds. i would really like to see her lose weight. Not for me but for herself. i want to see the cofidence that once was. can you help?
Hiya. I am 13 years old and I’m 14 in 2 and a half months time. I am 5 foot and 5 inches. I weigh 8 stone and 10 pounds / 113 pounds / 51kg. When I look at myself I feel depressed and jealous of other people I know. I recently decided that I wanted to seriously lose some weight. I have been on several websites to find out if I am the right weight for my height and age. Heres what they said:
1. For my height I should be 9 stone 7 pounds.
2. I am in the ‘healthy weight’ zone
3. I am in the catogory ‘UNDERWEIGHT’ and showed me a list of illnesses I could get.
I was shocked to see the 1st and last ones come onto the screen. I would never class myself as underweight! However, I now realise that I shouldn’t feel pressured to lose weight because I feel overweight. It’s quite common for people to look at themselves and see a bigger version of what they are because they persuade themselves they need to lose weight to fit in with today’s society.
I would like to be 8 stone. Although by the time I achieve this I will probably need to be at least 9 stone to avoid illness! lol
For the moment I will just stick to trying to excersise more concerntrating on specific areas, getting out of the house and off the computer and T.V., toning up and eating healthier. I strongly feel that creating specific, tailored plans and charts for yourself and sticking to them easier.
If, after reading this you still feel unsure whether your healthy I highly recommend looking at reliable sources of height/weight charts, BMI calculators, ect. I find the internet a great source of information for these topics on weight issues, prehaps reading some agony aunts and real life stories of all sides of the ‘argument of weight’, would also help. Try not to quit anything ‘cold turkey’ or take on too much at once, and do things that are planned around you not your friends or family as they will be different to you. Consulting your doctor or privatly diccussing things with someone you trust can help too.
Remember that life is for living and living is learning! I hope you have found my comments helpful and I hope you succseed in whatever you decide to do. Try not to feel pressured by anyone or anything, it’s your choice!
Have fun and live wise! Thank-you.

HELP!!!
To Samara,
And from what I have read it does not sound like your obese, you may be SLIGHTY overweight, but not much. All I would say is that the beans you eat are good for you, if you would like to lose some weight, try cutting down on some bread or rice as thats alot of carbohydrates if you eat lots of both each day. Or you can try doing a little more excesise each day building it up slowly, to keep fit. Dont worry too much and sorry if what I have said hasnt helped. Have fun! 
P.S. ive heard of a puertorican band called tick tock are they still together?? 
xx
I think its great that you eat alot of fruit and veg (its something I need to improve on)
To Fatteen,
xx
Please do not give up hope on life you have to live it to the full! Have you tried anything to help you lose weight if you feel you have to? If you haven’t you could try;
1. surfing the web for info and help
2. excersise! definatly important anyway!
3. healthy balanced eating
4. gradually cutting out things that aren’t going to help your body eg. junk food but only gradually and not altogether!!!
Try hearing other people’s life story’s to become more knowledgable on the subject, it may help.
Lastly, please do not say you will grow old, fat and lonley. All you need is some willpower and that will not be true. GOOD LUCK!
To Nikki,
It’s great that your friends can be honest with you no matter how much it may hurt, but at least if you do get serious about losing weight you have them there supporting you! 
Stay positive! xx
I’m sure your not ‘totally ugly’ it may just be the way you see yourself because you persuaded yourself thats how you are. Try to not be embarassed of who you are. I would need to know what youve tried to help yourself lose weight before i can advise you because obviously im not a professinal advisor, I just tell people what I think will help them.

Hi … i need help.i’m 12 years old and weigh 130 pounds.my family and i are all seeing who can lose the most weight…
i have to lose atleast 10 … my sister (14) has to lose 15 … and my dad has to lose 25
i need to do this before christmas … if i dont noone in my family gets christmas presents and io give away my ipod touch …
i have like … 4 months … HELP !
please just give a good diet plan to follow that wil help me lose atleast 5 pounds a month !
To Brianna,
I have also had someone call me fat before and it hurts, I agree, but there could be many reasons that this person has said this, like they could be jealous of something about you or they might want to knock your confidence for some reason. Also think about when they said this was it recently? Try not to let it bother you and just believe in yourself and you’ll be fine! 
You also mentioned that it was a he, maybe he just wanted to get your atention after all boys can be strange! 
It’s ok that you don’t eat red meat, but it is a good source of protein, which helps you to grow, so you may want to search for other foods you can get protein from. If you still feel you need to lose weight then keep up a healthy balanced diet and keep up your excersise. I know its probably not exactly what you wanted to hear but your only 11 and you dont need to lose weight. So stay positive and happy and have fun! 
xx
By the sounds of things you ARE a healthy weight!
FOODS WITH GOOD PROTEIN LEVELS:
*Eggs
*Milk
*Soya milk
*Tofu
*Low fat yoghurt
*Cheese
*Fish
*Roast chicken
To Sara,
Enjoy your life! xx
You are a healthy weight for your age and height. You have to believe that, you don’t need to lose weight all you need is a confidence boost! Look at yourself every day and believe you are beautiful because I’m sure you are!
To i was ok,
Try to find some kind of activity or sport you enjoy and stick to it! You can also try making a plan of healthy eating, stick to the usual rules – 5 a day ect. Get some relevant information so you know what your doing and dont go too far. Try little things at a time. Don’t worry if it takes a long time. It won’t be instant so keep perservering and don’t give up till your happy! Stay positive and good luck!!! 
xx
I’ll admit weighing more than your dad would be embarassing! But you’ve faced that now so just forget about it for a while and concerntrate on you and what you want to do. Lose weight. So really persuade yourself that you want to lose weight and you can.
To Chantel,
Anyway I think it’s great having some fun with a friendly family competition, it’s great motivation! Sometimes it can be quite easy to make targets maybe lose one or two pounds a week, in which case it would only take you just over a month to lose you target weight. It may be a little drastic to get no presents if you dont lose it all, but again it’s a motivation target, however maybe something a little less over the top is better 
(unless of course they were just joking lol 
) Dont worry about it too much just make a plan or “timetable” and STICK TO IT! Let me know how you do and good luck! 
xx
First of all I love your name
To all the girls who have ever posted on this site,
Hey you guys!I just wanted to offer you all some encouragment here:
To the girls who have encouraged other girls:
You guys are amazing! I think it’s wonderful that you have seen where people are struggling and you’ve encouraged them, thank you for sharing your heart and stories with other’s and i am sure that it’s a blessing to other’s to hear your words
To everyone who has self-esteem issues:
All of you are a gift from God! I am not a perfect girl whom you can not relate to, i myself have problems every day with my own self image and sometimes I get very depressed about it but i am learning that i am important to God and to the people around me, and so are you! I pray that you do not even toy with the idea of anorexia or bullehmia! Please do not do it, my own friend had prblems with an eating disorder before i knew her and she has asked God to help her with her self-image and she has moved on, but i pray that none of you will ever have to deal with the horrors of anorexia! You all are so prcious! Just eat healthy and get exercise, but do not stop eating, it with only hurt you and the people around you if you stop eating.
God loves you all so much, and even though i don’t know you i know that God loves you all very much!

i’m kayla i’m 5’2 a wegiht is 131 i need help to lose this or i’m suck with my family medical problems so please help.
Okay, This is to Everyone that has been reading and/or posting things here about their weight and how they need help.
First of all, I’d like to share a little story about myself and how i made a change in my life.
I used to be 145 lbs when I was only 13 years old. My self esteem fell drastically and all i saw in the mirror was an ugly girl that no guy would ever consider kissing or even looking at twice. So, I decided I wanted to change. But, the problem was, I changed for the wrong reasons. there was a girl in my school that every guy adored and drooled at as she walked by. And I wanted to be just like her. I stopped eating, pleaded my mom to bring me to the gym with her, i took up cheerleading and softball and soon i was 130 lbs by 14 yrs old. The only problem was-I still saw that ugly, fat girl. My personality changed drastically. I became moody, constantly tired,and always angry or upset about something! It began effecting my relationship with my family and friends. Then one day, my best friend came up to me and told me something I would never forget. She says: “Shannon. You were more beautiful before. You had a smile and a laugh that brightened everyone’s day! Now, You’ve lost yourself in becoming someone your not.” That’s when it hit me.
LOSING WEIGHT FOR ANYONE BUT YOURSELF WILL **NOT** WORK!!!
Why? Because once you feel you need to change yourself and your appearance to impress a boy or fit in with the popular kids, or just to feel normal! then you’re wrong. Losing weight should be about getting healthy and staying healthy. That’s all thats gonna matter in the end. When you’re healthy, your outlook on life changes dramatically. But you have to change your opinions about yourself first. Soo, Here’s what you gotta do!
1.LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SAY YOU.ARE.BEAUTIFUL!!
BECAUSE YOU ALL.ARE.BEAUTIFUL!!
2.go into your pantry/refrigerator and pull out ALL the stuff you feel you can live without that DOESN’T HAVE ANY NUTRITONAL VALUE!! such as: ice cream, soda, cookies, donuts, white bread, bagels, etc…AND THROW.THEM.OUT!
3. write a list of food you like that are healthy! Even experiment a little. Write down things you’ve never tried before!
4. GO TO THE STORE WITH YOUR PARENTS/GUARDIAN! They will not know what you want! You Have the LIST! And noo dont GIVE them the list because now THEY have the power of what THEY think is NECESSARY! Trust me, my mom pulled that on me PLENTY of times.
ex: Me: “Hey ma, did you get low fat yogurt?”
Mom: “Why the hell do you need low fat yogurt for?”
Exactly…
5. Talk to Someone…Maybe they want to lose weight too! If they do, make it a competition or make it a tag team kind of thing. Plan walks, go to play in a local park, go to the gym together, ANYTHING to get you moving and out the door for at least an hour!
6. Can’t get to a gym? Go outside and kick a soccer ball around for 40 min. There you just did a cardio workout for the day.
7. For lunch on school days: Bring a small sandwhich (I brought whole wheat bread with turkey and lettuce with either mayo or mustard! Get at least some protein in your diet each day! plus whole wheat bread is WAYY healthier then white or italian bread. :] ) A fruit and a vegtable and some water or vitamin water.
8. Believe it or not, Gatorade, Powerade, Redbull, and Monsters will NOT Help you lose weight OR boost your energy. Drinking WATER after a workout and a banana will help with enery, hunger, and the banana will prevent a lot of soreness the next day. :]
9.Don’t CONSTANTLY weigh yourself! It will become an annoyance and can turn into an obsession. For Example. Say one day you realize you gained .2 lbs, you flip out, say you can’t do it, and give up! (Trust me, its happened to me PLENTY OF TIMES!)
**10. ITS OKAY TO GO OFF YOUR DIET ONCE IN A WHILE!!!
so what, You went to Wendys! Your not gonna gain everything back! but instead of ordering the most fattening thing on the menu, get it in smaller porportions. and instead of a soda, get bottled water or bring your own. There u just save yourself two dollars!
ALL of these things helped me change the way i looked at myself and how I felt about MYSELF! When youchange Your ATTITUDE And your MIND set, nothing can stand in your way.
I am Shannon. I’m 15 years old, 120 lbs, 5ft. 5in. And I’m healthy, in shape, and Happy.
?’m here to chat and to listen?
I am 14 5’2″ and I weight 244 pounds. I don’t feel good about myself because I have been teased on about my weight since Elementary School. I don’t like shopping or taking pictures because I always grew up knowing that being thin was pretty. I have slapped myself tried to choke myself, and cut myself with glass because I don’t love myself. I am on the marching band at school and I play two other instruments, but it doesn’t seem to help me because I eat junk after it. I am sick of crying and moping around. I need to gain confidence and change before I kill myself!
i am 12 years old and i weigh 10 stone i am fat i get depressed because all my friends aren’t that big and i look at them and wish can be that small but need to go on a diet i have stopped eating crisps and i don’t eat a lot of fatty food but i need to give up the soda but i need to know this will it go when i get older and instead of drinking soda can i drink squash because i don’t like water unless it is freezing cold but not to cold i am fussy

IT’S TRUE IM OVER WEIGHT BUT I DON’T GIVE A DAM.
Hey, I am 13 years old, and I have cystic fibrosis and diabetes. With my cystic fibrosis, most survivors are extremely skinny and can never gain weight. but ever since Ive had diabetes, i gained a lot of weight. I am 5’7″ and like 120lbs. My stomach is huge due to my CF and my face. I want to lose the fat off of them both, but not go to dramatic because I dont want to go extremely skinny. I need help.
I’m 14 going on 15, 5’7 1/2 and weigh about 160 pounds.
My doctor tells me that I’m perfectly healthy for my age and height,
but I just don’t feel good about myself.
I eat vegetables and fruit, and work out 4 times a week, but to no avail.
I could really use some advice on how to reach my goal of losing 20-30 pounds,
Thank you:)

hi am a wrestiler and i am on the point where i may not make the waith that i want! i wheight 51.8 kilos and i whant to be in the 51 wheight class! that means that i must be under 51! i don’t want to move up what do i do!
i swim for two hours a week and wrestilel for 10. i eat really healthy! should i not eat!
no u should not stop eating. studys show that if u stop eating u will actually gain weight. SORRY BUT U WILL. u probably have more mussle then u have fat and mussle weighs 3 times more then fat good luke and injoy life.
ok my brother is a wrestler and no dont jut stop eating because as soon as u do or drink water its gonna come right back. try to sweat more if u want to loose weight. some people dont understand how wrestling works but i o i know how tough it is. so trying eating just tons of fruits and veggies. drink only water and wear tons of clothing all the time so u sweat and run a lot it helps
hope this helped u some
good luck xoxo

Hello, I am the mother of a very insecure thirteen year old. She has begun to get really interested in boys at her age. She always say “mom i need to lose weight”, and I know she is self concious at her age. What could work best in helping her to get what she needs before going into highschool
Should we go on a diet together?
Sarah:
hi, im 16 and i totally under what your daughter is going through i went through the same exact thing and the best thing to do is not a “diet” but a “life style change”. ive done the diet thing and they dont work just cut back on junk and bring on the fruit and veggies and have the whole family do it, it shows that every1 is supporting her….i wish my family would have so i hope this helped and if she needs someone to talk to let me know i would love to help her out

I’ve figured that people my age, (13 to 14) are so obsessed with being skinny. And i admit i want to be thin, but boys do like curves! So just cut back on the junk food, and go for a jog occasionally. It’ll soon go:D
hello, i am so impressed to read all of these comments. i have a 15 year old daughter who has been going through an eating disorder disease for over a year now. she started by being obsessed about loosing weight. she kept on saying that she wanted to “feel” good, “look” good, and be “confident”. everytime she looked at herself in the mirror she saw a fat image. things got worst !!! she stopped eating…. all she put in her stomach was ice and drunk a lot of water. yes… i wont lie to you…. she did loose weight…. but she had to pay a very high and sad price for it !!!! she got anorexic. she lost a lot of weight and became skin and bones. she lost control of her weight and life. i forced her to eat…but it only made it worst… she would eat… but she would run to the bathroom to trow up. she developed Bulimia. today… she still hates it when i ask her to eat. she is still seeing therapists, but no matter how many times she sees them…. it is up to her to get better… she still has in her mind that she has to loose more weight. i hope that this help you understand that you can easily loose control of your mind once you get obsessed with the thought of wanting to loose weight. please be careful.

In just a couple of mOnths, I am 264 pounds and I want to change
That!! I am so sick of not being able to fit into the cute tiny little clothes
All of my friends are wearing! I have tried to diet before and I could never
Ever sick to it, it’s like I just got bored with it? I am so tired of being
The “big girl” I am not ever teases anymore because I am in with the
I guess you would call “popular” kids at school and they like me for who
I am, idk how when I can’t even love myself. I have gotten so down and out
On myself I feel like I have to turn to boys to make me feel better about myself?
I have alot of guy best friends and I always crave attention from them
But I never notice it untill I’m basically what you could call “all over them?”
I am wanting to lose weight for me because I’m sick of being fat!
Any good diet ideas or meal plans or good work outs?
KenzLeigh, you are commenting on the page with a diet plan for teens, did you read it? Check the menu above for Workout videos, I have many and they are free. Only you can do something for you, you need to eat right and you need to workout regularly, nobody can do this for you. You need to start and changes will happen, it will take time.
Hi. I am 16 years old, I am 5’8″ I weigh 190 pounds. I am on a diet plan, I eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, no red meat sweets or pop ever. I excercise plenty, my pedometer says over 20,000 at the end of every day and I do 2 hours of cardio. I do the lemon cleanse once every 4-5 months. Is this healthy and safe for me?
Cynthia, it is better to follow the diet plan above. Plenty of fruits is ok if you don’t want to lose weight, but otherwise you should limit fruits to 2 per day. Eat plenty of veggies, red meat, chicken, eggs, yogurt.
I am 15 years old. I weigh 200 pounds. I know its not healthy at all. I try and tell myself I’m going on a diet but never do it. When I went to the doctor I lost only 1 pound. Which i know I gained back. Its like sometimes I don’t be hungry but i eat and I try to slack but i cant help it..I want a slim figure so I can be comfortable in my skin and know I’m healthy.Its hard for me to get my mind set up to exercise or eat healthy.I get tired so quickly.I’m going to try this even though its going to be hard for me because I’m a pop drinker.I will try
Okay, I’m 16 years old, and like 176 pounds, I would really like to get rid of this stupid tummy of mine, but I just can’t seem to find a way or find the right plan that will work for me, please, please if you have any ways of helping me, please tell me. Thank you(:
Hey I’m 13 and im 5′ tall and im like 110, 112 i have somewhat of a big tummy and i need it off im insercure about my body and wear scafts to cover it. please help!
I’m gonna be 17 this august and my final year of school is coming soon along with the graduation party (Debs in Ireland) I am a size between the sizes 16-20 depending on the shop and clothes quality but everyone who sees me doesn’t think I look the weight, they do say I am a big girl but I don’t look the weight.I need help. I want to be able to wear the clothes my friends wear. I want to be able to go and out and feel good about myself but I can’t. Its puts a struggle on me to find something to wear going to parties, usually I wont go but this year I noticed I am starting to kind of get a nice womans shape and I have been cutting down on sweets and junk food in particular. I think this dietry plan is good it worked for me along with doing situps and I lost 2 more than 2 stone in less than 3 months when I was 12. I am going to do this plan again and try and get down a few sizes.
i am 14 years old and weight 195 lbs. every time i go to the doctor she tells me im over weight, which makes me uncomftorable. my stomach pokes out like a pregnant woman’s belly, so if it 95 degress out side i wear a jacket to cover it up. without my jacket/sweater people always ask how many monthes am I. that makes me even more uncomfotrable. I sometimes try to not eat for a day and a half, but my mom wants me to eat. i eat but end up eating more than i know i shoud be eating. i know its my fault im uncomfortable with my body, and now i want to get comfortable with it. i do eat healthy but i just eat to much.i want to lose about 35 lbs. is that possiable for my age?
Hi. My name is Sarah. I’m turning 16 in two months, I’m 163cm tall and I weigh 52kg. I used to weight 69kg when I was 13-14. Since young my parents have been letting me eat all the junk I want to eat and I was a very lazy person. My best friend and mum tells me to be active but I kept telling them I was comfortable with the way I look and feel. I got teased a lot, being called ‘fat’ and that affected my self-esteem a lot, especially since I’m a growing teen and of course, I do have crushes and what’s not. I started jogging but I still ate the junk I’m used to and wasn’t serious with exercising. One day, I got real tired of being teased and I decided, once and for all, I want a change and wanted everything to stop. I stopped all the junk, started jogging/running 3-5 times a week and within three months I went down to 57kg. I remained constantly active, getting myself involved in physical activities in school, walk instead of taking the bus if the distance is near, climb the stairs, plain get off the couch and finding an activity to do. After a year and a half, I am now 52kg and I still jog/run, took up Muay Thai, lift weights, walk and climb the stairs and I treat myself to junk only during weekends, my ‘off days’. It’s not something hard. if you set your heart and mind to it, it will happen. Don’t just say you’re tired of your body yet do nothing about it. Don’t believe in diet myths guaranteeing you to lose 20kg in a month or whatsoever because it is plain unhealthy and ignorant. Everyone’s body is different and you should know your body before believing what the internet says. What the author said is true, cut the junk and partake in an activity – you’ll easily see a few pounds off your belly. After that, consistency is the key. Add foods healthy for you, lile yoghurt, wholegrain foods and fruits. Green tea is also great for weight loss. Now, after a year and a half, I consistently tell myself I never want to go back to the way I was before and I can say I never felt better. My stamina and metabolism increased, I don’t get tired easily, I’m very active and I’m a more positive person than before. No one’s teasing me anymore and I’m not brought down by bulges, I fit into beautiful clothes. All I can say is, get all the negative energy off your mind and start doing something good for yourself. Whenever I see scrawny models, I tell myself before my work outs that I can be better than them and I don’t have to be unhealthy to be like them. Motivate yourself, endure, and the effect will cause you great euphoria once you know it’s off your own hard work and determination.
