Obese

Wow man you dont know how much this will help me. But, the things your said to eat like, kiwis and all that stuff. Most of the time when I try to limit my foods to healthier things, alot of the time if I want to make a healthy shake I dont have the essencials I need, b-berries, kiwis, soymilk..Etc. Its not that I cant afford it, its just that I never ask for those things. So thanks ill try to follow your routine and see how it works out.

Handy,

you don't have these essentials in the house at the moment. Here's a trick.


soy
costco has this killer soy mil called natur-a. They sell them in packs of 6. It's an enriched organic soy beverage...Get the original/flavorless one. The stuff at the local supermarket seems to be full of crap. Natur-a is high quality and can sit in your pantry without refrigeration for almost 1 year. A good soy beverage has about 1y shelf life. You'll notice the stuff at the supermarket expires a month later ;-)

blueberries
in the frozen section of your local supermarket you should find frozen containers of mixed berries or blueberries. Women use these for cooking. So year round you've got berries. Even when frozen you can easily break them apart and put in a shake.


kiwi + banana
this is something you'll have to get weekly at the store but bananas are super cheap and freakishly good for you.


parents might annoy
you're parents might give you grief. They might think you're going over board with soy milk and caca. Dont listen to people around you unless it's words of encouragement. Avoid the arguments....Just go about what you need to do.


Routine is really how you'll make this all happen.

Yea thats it, its like when I ask for something healthy or whatever, see we never buy soy milk so when I ask for it theyre like....Uhh ok? Why?

14 year olds go through weight fluxuations. However, at 14 and to weigh as much as you is dangerous. Your bones, your muscles, your heart is not designed to carry around so much extra weight.
You are on the right track by wanting to make a change!!!

No soda. Period. Drink water. (i don't know why anyone would say to drink soy milk. Soy in an unfermented state is bad for you. If you must drink something other than water try almond milk or rice milk. Squeeze your own juices. Water is best--for your skin, your hair, your body.)

walk, walk, walk. This is the easiest, non impact exercise available. It's free, it's useful, it's easy.

Don't eat carbs like bread or pasta. This includes whole grains. Goodness, whole wheat bread is still just as bad (for weight) as white bread! If you must do grains-- spelt, kamut, and brown rice flour based products are best. These do not break down into sugars in your body.

I get the impression that your parents are not in for the ride as far as you wanting to make a change. Are they overweight? Sit down with them and have a frank discussion about wanting to change your diet habits. It's so much easier to have everyone you live with on board if you do something like this.

Also, allow yourself to "cheat" and be okay with it. Maybe for the first couple weeks, you could cheat once every other day...Then space it out more gradually. You'll find your tastes changing and you'll look at the crap you used to eat and be repulsed by it.

Good luck! The biggest motivator of all is when you see the scale sliding down, and your pants sliding down your legs! :)

Thanks guys, I know im not so healthy but can someone tell me whats right to eat, maybe for a whole day? Day by day? Becuase im saying soy is good/bad and im getting different answers, I need whats right. And another thing, I run and walk, plus I work out my muscles, I have pretty buff...I guess, arms so some of the weight could be muscle mass, im pretty sure. And no my parent arnt overweight, my mom is a liiiiiiiitle chubby, and yea your right, my parents dont know that I want to commit to something, they think I slack off and all.

Here's the thing, there will always be conflicting opinions when it comes to nutrition.

look at the menu on the left. Educate yourself.

- fruit in the morning is great because of its high source of natural sugars.
- carbs before workout (at least 2h before you work out)
- protein after working out (within 30min if possible)

cheers,

Thanks but those links dont work

You weight 70 pounds? You really need to improve your habits of eating and go to a doctor!
