Meguro Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusticeZero Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 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.

ninjanurse Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 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.

Aodhan Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 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' " Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 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.By the by I'd take a solid woman in good shape over a flabby anorexic any day.

Hawkeye Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 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. Every timely action will bring results ... Without difficulty. Every untimely endeavor will fail ... If the moment is premature or if the right moment is missed. - The Tree Poem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Martin Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 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.
