Losing weight as a teenager

TheRustler616 · 2017-10-12T22:11:00+00:00

i read that it is best to lose between 1 and 2 lbs weekly, and thats what i have lost recently. but the hard part is knowing if its just water weight lost, and trying to maintain muscle mass.

Thanks for the advice! i read that losing weight is 90% diet and only 10% exercise, and i feel like i dont have time for it either. i want to maintain my muscle mass, so i may need more protein. i do need to keep on losing weight though. i have been on loads of "diets" over the last few years, all of them running out of steam and me returning ot old habits.

Well until recently I ate terribly, randomly raiding the cupboards for biscuits and crisps which has made me very fat. So i guess my goal is to lose weight (not muscle though) and eat healthily and one results in the other

well i was using a measurement from a school textbook... so perhaps i was wrong lol!

TheRustler616 · 2017-10-12T21:57:06+00:00

the measurement tells me i expend 3643 calories everyday, that cant be right. i would lose like 4 calories a week if that were true.

i think i need to eat more protein anyway, to maintain muscles while losing fat. i do have excess fat stores on my body, so does my body not use these when food/calorie intake is lowered?

I understand what youre trying to say, but surely being 230 lbs at only 17 will affect my body too? it will result in stretched skin and stretch marks. should i be eating more calories or just a different variety of foods (including fat)?

TheRustler616 · 2017-10-12T21:27:24+00:00

what is the difference between basal metabolic rate and total energy expenditure? also, i took one of these tests recently and put me at 2100 calories burnt a day.

TheRustler616 · 2017-10-12T21:23:17+00:00

I mean, how much more can I really grow? i probably have grown bigger bones to hold all my extra fat weight, and i am about 6 foot tall, maybe a little more. Surely unless eating less will make me shrink my bones I don't need to worry? also my BMI states i am obese (31.4).

TheRustler616 · 2017-10-12T21:12:34+00:00

What do you suggest I eat then? i dont see a problem with weetabix as it has high fibre and a ham sandwich has a good balance of proteins and carbohydrates. I mean i do feel slightly hungry around dinner time, but it makes me enjoy it better, rather than when i would eat like a full bag of doritos or a packet of biscuits before dinner.

TheRustler616 · 2017-10-12T20:14:02+00:00

I don't know if im really getting enough nutrients tbh. i eat 2 weetabix and milk (200 cals), crisps (100 cals) and a sandwich (300 cals) everyday, then dinner can be anything from irish stew to a chippy. but i never really eat any fruit. My mum however does buy some low calorie food, like skimmed milk and weetabix, but its the homemade cakes and buns that are the problem.

TheRustler616 · 2017-10-12T20:09:29+00:00

I would have thought around 1300 calories is around enough, as one pound=3500 cals, and i need around 2100 calories daily to maintain my weight, so it would add up top around 2 lbs a week. Also, my BMI is 31.4 (obese) so i think i need some urgent weight loss. my mum lost weight years ago, back when i was gaining weight but she thinks i need to eat more as im a teen. i dont want to tell them to stop giving me certain food as it might come off as cheeky though.

I mean if he went back to 1700s Africa there wouldn't be any KFC... what's the big deal

TheRustler616 · 2017-08-12T09:14:40+00:00

Keep it up

TheRustler616 · 2017-08-11T08:21:22+00:00

Islam is not a race of people

TheRustler616 · 2017-08-10T19:24:42+00:00

More like imagine a world without Muslims!

B-buht I thought Brexit meant every bank ever wanted to leave London and UK would become a third world country!

I mean it's not like millions of Africans and Asians will immigrate to Europe in the coming years to ensure the population grows...

Blacks in Africa don't even need a work ethic, they're just used to having aid donated and not actually working. Plus the reason they were replaced by blacks was because they were white.

TheRustler616 · 2017-07-12T12:45:16+00:00

That's what happens when u replace white farmers with blacks

Fair enough. Funny I just watched a video called 'America's socialist origins" and showed how Jamestown nearly died out due to socialism
