Best food to eat to lose weight?

I wegh as much as a 16 year old... I'm only 13 and I need to be aleast 105 pounds but my goal is 110 right now! Just wondering what the best food are to eat other then salads...

welll...those lean cuisine meals are healthy and the weight watchers like snack bars and stuff like that are good for losing weight cause they help you stay full longer. Celery is a negative calorie which means you burn calories when you eat it!

I've heared that melons are good for you when you want to lose weight!, eat healthy over all (lean meats, low fat yougurt, low fat/partly skimmed milk, organic foods, whole wheat bread...ect) - don't forget to put in some exercise into your diet too!! wish you luck!!

Simply a Rose to brighten your day,
And maybe lessen the cares in your way;
And also, too, to help you to know,
That in knowing you, many others grow!

How to LOSE weight?

First, determine from the information below, what your weight should be. Then set yourself goals of a week, 2 weeks, a month, 3 months, 6 months and a year. As you see yourself meeting your goals it becomes easier. Remember, you didn't gain your weight overnight so don't expect to lose if overnight. Plus, weight lost slowly is more likely to stay off than weight lost in a hurry.

How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?

One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it's not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.

What should a minimum calorie intake be?

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.
