Weight loss for teens

There are several easy and healthy steps for teens wanting to lose weight. 1. Move more. Take more gym or dance classes, use your bike to get to school if possible, ask you parents to buy you a simple inexpensive stair climber and go climbing when you watch TV, talk by phone, or whenever you have time. 2. Stop eating any junk food, sugary foods, sweets - unless they are artificially sweetened. Choose whole grain breads instead of white one, have vegetables for side dishes instead of pastas, rice, potatoes, etc. 3. Eat more: - leafy green veggies - olive oil - nuts and seeds - fish - fresh fruits and berries - yogurts (no sugar added or with sweetener or fresh fruit) - green tea instead of sodas
