Alright, My name is Tom. Im 5"3 and i weigh 138.
My BMI is 23 :(. im not over weight or obeise. If i check a Rating thing , im under normal. Im trying to hit underweight.
Im going to the beach next year. And im planning on starting the diet on monday. I got a friend that wants to loose weight also. I do skateboard. About 5 hours a day.. ( Since 2 weeks ago ) i recently Broke my toe, Last night. -_-. So , im having trouble being active.. i try my hardest.. Im going to get picture of me w/o a shirt on also..
Can some one help me with a Diet?
Help me give me plans.. Im trying to loose the weight, very fast.. so best diet u can think of .. let me no.. and i eat ( ANY FOOD ).. i will eat anything. so thats not hard. And i drink Water only..
 
I assume you want to lose fat. If this is the case, which likely it is, KNOW RIGHT NOW that it takes TIME. You're DREAMING if you think you can loose everything in a few short months. This takes almost 1 full year of ACTUALLY STICKING TO IT to get what you want.

Anyways, I recommend that you keep on skateboarding. You enjoy it, and you burn calories, VERY good. I would also recommend weight training, and even cardio for fat loss.

Stay away from saturated fats, and sweets. Eat lotsa fruits, vegetables, ect. Sweets sure are tempting, but sweets are not as SWEET as your results that you could get without them.

No, sadly I do not use Aim. -__-'' Sorry.

Anyways, many people think of dieting as "oh no, I have to eat all that crap..". Which I found to be rather untrue. Salads are good, don't get me wrong, but they dont make the diet. You just have to generally eat good foods. Think of it this way; when people look at food, they ASSUME if its good or bad for them, and a lot of the time they're pretty accurate. Do that. Just stay away from sweets, though, its self explanitory, and butter and margarine. Basically, almost all of those things that are solid at room temps, like pastes, arent all that great. Its the single bonds they posses that make them the saturated fats, and those are bad.
 
alright , i dont drink pop no more.. ive stopped. ( Pop brings acme, am i correct? ) Ive started drinking Orange juice , and Water.. and a little cup of milk in the morning , along with a bowl of cereal and fruit =D.

Yes.

Orange juice and most juices in general have a pretty high glycemic index, which means that your insulin levels come up quick by consuming it. As a dieter, you want to have your insulin levels pretty stable to avoid storaging energy to adipose tissue (fat). But it does have some vitamin c, and it's not that easy to get too much fluids, so if you get tired of water, you can drink some juice also, especially during/after being physically active, when a bit higher insulin levels won't be of any harm even for dieters.

Tom,

You seem to have drive and that is a good thing. However, if you want to go to the beach next year with a fitter, stronger body, consistency is key. And you probably won't be consistent for long eating the way you mentioned. You need to eat more and not just fruit. Eat some protein. Eat lunch at school too. When I was in school, if I skipped lunch I would come home and want to binge. You should eat some eggs for breakfast (if you like them). If you don't like the school lunches (they aren't always healthy either) bring your own. Pack a sandwich on some whole wheat bread. Then you can have some of that fruit you like so much :D . I hope this helps. I saw your pic and you will do just fine. You do need to eat though. Especially with all that jogging and working out you plan on doing. Your body needs the fuel.
 
You should start noticing changes in a month or two. But be easy on yourself. Don't expect too much all at once. Take pictures of yourself every few months so you can really see your progress. Good luck!
 
I agree with SnoBunny you should be eating more. If you drastically lower your caloric intake (how many calories you eat each day) you will lower your metabolism and end up in starvation mode where your body clings to fat . . . not good *shakes finger*

If i were you i would use one of the free online calculators which tell you how many calories you need everyday to maintain, lose fat, gain fat etc. They arent completely accurate but they will help give you an idea. (just do a google search for caloric intake calculator or something similar)

To keep your metabolism up, it is recommended you eat 4-8 small meals a day(each meal should be the same size). I think the more the better, but its hard to eat that often with a busy schedule so heres what i do.

For 1300 calories a day I'd eat:
Breakfast - 250 calories
Snack - 100 calories
Lunch - 250 calories
Snack - 100 calories
Afternoon Meal - 250 calories
Snack - 100 calories
Dinner - 250 calories

When you eat smaller snacks in between its easier because you can eat a yogurt, or cottage cheese, or a piece of bread w/ peanut butter in class or wherever you are without too much of a fuss.
For my meals i try to make them more substantial with a complex carb, protein, and veggies at each.

Now your young and busy so you may not want to count calories- for me personally it makes it easier to find out how much i'm really eating. But just remember its much better for fatloss to eat smaller portions throughout the day. And drink as much water as possible that helps too (I bring a bottle with me to work and school). And definetly do not starve or practically starve yourself! Good luck and keep up the good work. . .
