 Lose weight without dieting during adolescence

How to lose weight during adolescence? I don't want to go on a teenage diet but I can't lose belly fat , buttocks-thighs-hips and arms. I am 15 years old. I am 1m65 for 66kg, which I find too much. I don't really know what to do anymore.

No teen diet but qualitative changes

However, I play sports, tennis, twice a week. I would like to have a toned and firm body. It is difficult to decide on meals, since I have parents who still take care of me. I don't want to go on a diet, since I'm in my teens, but other food choices would surely be effective, right?... That's why I'm asking for your help. The school year will start again, I won't have much time left! I would like you to tell me what kind of exercises I can do to get back in shape!

No diet at all costs and a sport for fun

There are significant morphological changes in adolescence, linked in particular to hormonal changes. Faced with these changes it is preferable to do nothing in terms of diet; Above all, do not try to lose weight at all costs.

You already do regular physical activity, tennis is great!

You can complete with a practice of running in endurance , that is to say at a pace which is just above walking, but provided that you like it; indeed to hope to obtain lasting results it is never good to feel constrained. You should never practice a sport under duress but for the pleasure it provides. If jogging doesn't appeal to you, try fitness classes, swimming or cycling to develop your cardiovascular capacity.

If you choose running, approach it as a walk in a place that is pleasant to you. Jogging to music is also a very pleasant approach to running. If you manage to run for 10 minutes without stopping, you can add a few accelerations, variations in pace, first slightly marked then sharp accelerations over 15 seconds. The important thing is then to walk or run very slowly for 15 seconds to be able to recover and then start again. If the rest time is not sufficient, the intensity of the accelerations must be reduced, but above all you must maintain a rhythm of 15" effort-15" rest. 20 repetitions of this alternation are more than enough.

In terms of food, without following a low-calorie diet which would be ineffective and harmful to your health, you specify it yourself, it can be good to replace, when you have a little peckish, sweets or pastries with a fruit. , an apple for example, provided you choose it organic so as not to absorb pesticides from industrial agriculture.

Sugar is a well-known enemy. I suggest you to go deeper into the subject to consult the page 17 tips for eating less sugar .

To be in good health, you must avoid temporary diets and adopt 3 definitive rules of hygiene of life :

• Avoid processed products from supermarkets that are dangerous because they are too salty and dairy products made from cow's milk (especially cheeses).
• Limit your consumption of meat and cold meats in favor of locally caught small fish, eggs and vegetable proteins.
• Combine whole grains and legumes to have all the amino acids that are useful to us (semolina-chickpeas, red beans-quinoa, millet-red beans, rice-soya, rice-lentils, corn-beans).

Healthy living is based on a set of measures intended to preserve physical and mental health and, in general, to answer the question: how to live happily?

Whole and organic foods to avoid blood sugar spikes

Likewise for pasta, rice and bread, it is better to choose them whole or semi-whole than white.

White pasta is actually depleted, especially in minerals, and is less nutritious than wholemeal; we therefore eat more to be satiated; these are said to be empty calories. It's the fact of having to eat a lot to stop being hungry that makes you fat.

So start with semi-complete pasta and brown basmati rice, if possible from organic farming. Why Whole Basmati Rice? For its Glycemic Index (GI) of 45! The other rices are between 80 and 90! A low glycemic index prevents blood sugar spikes . At each glycemia peak, insulin peaks are automatically generated, to restore the original glycemia. The problem is that insulin promotes fat storage , so these spikes contribute to making you fat. The less there is, the less you grow! Even if you don't decide on your meals, you can certainly, during the purchases, suggest the type of food that I have described to you above, out of curiosity ;-).
