Reply from Julie, Age 15 - 3/28/01 - IP#: 38.144.151.137I know it is hard, i have experienced it all. But what i have learned over the years is that skipping breakfast is the worst possible thing u could be doing. The reason for this is that by eating breakfast your metabolism is sped up for the rest of the food that you eat during the day. And just in case you don't know, your metabolism plays a major role in whether you gain or lose weight. Plus, if you don't have breakfast, you end up hungrier at the end of the say and as a result you tend to eat more food and stuff you don't need. It is best to spread your meals evenly over the day. A key tip is to have six small meals a day instead of three big ones. And in the middle meals eat healthy foods like fruit and milk. And don't forget, exercise will also help you lose weight, all you have to do if something which you enjoy, like maybe dancing, playing basketball etc. In no time you will begin to see a difference and above all you will feel healthier!! GOOD LUCK!! and if you need any more advice or of you need to ask questions just email me on pigeon_meaner@hotmail.com I would love to hear how you go :) |
