As a 13 year old you shouldn't be too self-conscious about your appearance. In truth, most people feel awkward at this time. It passes. However there are some sensible things you can do now that will end up paying benefits as you get older. Be active. Spend as little time in front of the television and pc and more time outdoors playing soccer or in a dojo doing your favorite martial art. Avoid soft-drinks and junk food, and get a good night's sleep.

I don't believe in diets. A good diet contains a little bit of everything, in moderation of course. The fad diets you hear about might not be the best thing for the growing bodies of children.

I double that. Just eat healthy, drink lots of water every day, not much sugar and soft breads, shy away from caffiene, fatty foods only in moderation, and stay active.

I too am a vegetarian. It is important that you are getting enough protein in your diet via beans, soy, etc., and not getting too much fat or simple carbs.

Being a vegan I do not eat eggs or dairy either so my protein sources come from rice, soy, peas, and whole grains. Protein powders work well and come in various flavors and bases (rice, pea, soy, etc.)3. Increased fruits and veggies, whole grains, and water is also necessary when you are training as you need those complex carbs to fuel your muscles. As far as fat goes-processed foods are evil and should be avoided at all costs! Check the labels and buy/eat whole foods when possible. Lastly, 13 is an age when your body will be starting to undergo a lot of changes. Pick a healthy goal and stay at or above it as your body grows. It may be wise to enlist the help of a parent or friend to monitor you so that you remain healthy.

Saw a great T-shirt today. Was in the grocery store near my apartment, and saw a Native American wearing a T-shirt that said "Vegetarian - Old Indian word for 'Bad Hunter' "

Exercise, exercise, exercise. Forget all that about finding the exact right diet. The key is variety and lots of exercise.

Trust me, you'll feel better if you're big and muscular than if you're of average size and weak as a veal calf.

Forget about the "SPECIAL DIET"! (Unless you have a medical condition that calls for one.) Eat well, stay hydrated, get your rest and stay active. Try different activities and see which ones are the most fun. If you are doing activities that are fun, you are more likely to stick with them. Doing these things go a long way in keeping your body (and mind) in good shape.

lots of fruit, you could try having all fruit breakfast then graze on it until lunch. cut out complex carbs if you want to lose weight fast. or cut out carbs all together for faster (but not healthy) results. lots of water and no processed foods or sugar.
