Im currently 165 lbs, 15 years old and 5, 10 almost 5, 11

The Exercise of HITT I understand and started doing a week ago, feels great

on the other hand the nutrition side of this seems insane.. all the food your reccomending and such

I havent had soda, candy, donuts, bacon, chips, or fast food in over a month.. but other than that i kind of just eat what i want..
i

I would like to lose 15-20 lbs

Is that even possible without restricting my eating further?
 
Try it and get back to us in a month or so and let us know about your progress.

Considering you're only 15, I think it will be easier to lose weight than if you were older because your metabolism is going much faster. HOwever, after a certain point of only eliminating the junk foods, you will most likely plateau. Also, eating 5-7 meals w/ protein helps boost the metabolism - so you'd probably have better results because you'd have the calorie deficit + the higher metabolism.

On calorie deficit:

You have to burn 3500 calories to burn 1 pound of fat.

Here's an example: Each day, you burn a certain number of calories - let's say 2000, with exercise - and on your diet you ingest about 1500 calories. That's a 500 calorie a day defecit (1500 Kcal IN - 2000 Kcal OUT = -500 Kcal).

So, after 7 days of losing a net 500 calories a day, you've lost a total 3500 calories, or 1 lbs of fat.

Now if on day 7, you eat pizza and have 3000 calories in that day, you get a surplus of 1000 calories (3000 Kcal IN - 2000 Kcal OUT = 1000 Kcal surplus). This takes the 3000 calorie deficit you've built up during the week down to 2000 -- delaying the time it takes to burn off that pound by another 3 days.

So, this way it takes 10 days rather than 7 days (remember, just an example) to burn a pound of fat. Small difference? Over time it amounts to quite a bit.

If you stick the diet, you can lose 4 lbs in a month.
If you cheat too badly, you'd only lose 3 lbs in a month.

By the same token, if you stick to the diet, you'd lose 48 lbs in a year.
If you cheated too much, you'd only have lost 36 lbs. Big 12 lbs difference.

Are beef tenderloins good for your diet if eaten regularly? or is chicken breast much better? I dont mind chicken, but sometimes you'll get a bad cut of chicken breast from the store and it turns me off to chicken for awhile..

Also, are baked beans ok? I would assume so..
 
i had a friend who didn't snack, but ate big meals - she was fat from too much chicken and broccoli!

extra calories of anything is stored as fat in the body. but you're still growing, take it easy on yourself!
