Teen Weight Loss


Teen Weight Loss – Are You Overweight?

teenager losing weightWith today’s society obsessed with weight and with approximately 12.5 million of our nation’s children overweight, it’s no wonder so many of you are looking for easy weight loss for teens.

In my research for this website, I have come across many forums and discussion groups where teens are looking for easy and quick weight loss for teens.  At first, I was not going to include any information for teen weight loss as I never experienced any weight issues until I became an adult. 

However, with all the thousands of teens looking for quick weight loss and of these thousands, many are not actually overweight, I felt it was necessary to provide some valuable information on this subject.

Before reading on, please first check your Body Mass Index (BMI) to see if you are in fact overweight.  This interactive calculator is valid for teens and adults as the calculation is the same, however, the results of the Body Mass Index are interpreted differently for children and teens. 

If after using this calculator, you do find that you are overweight, then please read on to see some tips on a healthy way for teens to lose weight.

You can also see what percentile your BMI is in for children and teens by using this calculator at kidsnutrition.org.  This calculator will also give you the proper teen calorie intake.




Teen Weight Loss Advice

Like I stated earlier, in the forums and discussion groups I’ve joined, most teens in these groups want a quick and easy weight loss for teens.  But before moving on, I just want to state that quick and easy weight loss for anyone generally does not last.  So, instead of thinking of a quick weight loss, think in terms of a long term and lasting weight loss.  After all, why go through all the hard work to lose weight quickly only to put the weight back on later.

Be sure to read these weight loss tips.  These tips are valid from tots to seniors and will help you build a healthy weight loss eating plan and make the needed lifestyle changes to keep the weight off.

Although many teens are looking for a quick weight loss, most of you also want to ensure you are doing it in a healthy way.  I have seen many questions posted on forums and discussion groups on what is the proper calorie intake for teens.  Be sure to read the Teen Calorie Intake to find out what your daily nutritional needs are.  

Okay, I’m done giving my lecture and 2 cents.  If you are truly interested in a successful teen weight loss, then let’s continue.  Before moving on to the quick weight loss for teens tips, you may want to read The Don'ts of Teen Dieting.

Be sure to check out the free weight loss programs.  These programs are totally free and there's even a free weight loss for teens program.
