Hunger can sabotage all your weight loss efforts. If you are a fast growing teenager, you are probably hungry most of the time even without dieting. What can you do? Eat! But eat only "right" foods even if you don't get used to them. You'll learn how to like them, eventually.
Salad is king! Take a *big* salad bowl and tear some dark green leafy veggies in it. Add tomato and cucumber slices, shredded carrots, chopped quarter of an apple and a handful of almonds, squeeze in a little of lemon juice, generously pour olive oil and top your salad with protein-rich foods like chicken, or tuna fish, or hard boiled egg, or cheese cubes.
Eat all you want, even all you can. Make this salad every time you feel hungry. Ounce for ounce, salads make you feel full on fewer calories.
In a hurry? Here's a "movable" salad idea. Take some baby carrots, string cheese, celery stalks, cauliflower florets, a couple of Laughing Caw cheese servings, baby salami or other firm sausages, put all these in a bag. It's a finger food, just make sure you don't forget a couple of napkins.
