If you want to feel full up but not be eating too many calories then one thing that has helped me in the past is by drinking low fat soups. Any supermarket will have these. They are usually about 50 calories a can. Also nosh on fruit but not bananas or grapes and drink lots of water. There are low calorie milk drinks which are filling and nutritious and those have worked for me in the past but, again, if you lose the weight quickly then it will go on again quickly. There really is no quick and instant fix that is going to be healthy for a growing person to take. You have to educate yourself to eat sensibly and healthily. You really do have to be patient but if you lose weight by eating sensibly then it will stay off as long as you carry on eating sensibly. |
