I'm a 14 year old, Male, that weighs 185 lbs. I'm 5'5" so, I'm considered obese. I have athsmatic issues and I can't really do a bunch of running before I start to breathe hard. I want to be around 135 lbs, or the healthy weight for my age!. I'm so confused about what to do, and how many calories to lose and to eat, and what to eat and do to lose weight! I want to be skinny, and have a flat stomach. Please Help! I have no exercising equipment and just myself. Help please!
Answered by Jamie Kerem You have come to the right place.I'll get right down to the science. 3500 calories equals 1 pound of fat. Therefore if you wanted to lose 1 pound a week (a steady and sustainable goal) you would need to consume 500 calories less than what you expend. Find out your BMR (there are plenty of resources online available to calculate your BMR - your Basal Metabolic Rate. Once you know how many calories you need to consume to maintain the current weight you have, start by dropping that number by 500 every day. If no weight loss occurs, drop that number by another 200. Do this until you are losing weight at a steady pace.
While your asthma does present an issue, it is no excuse to not get in shape. Proper nutrition and daily exercise will bring you to your goal no matter what.
You do not have to exercise in such a manner that will cause an asthmatic attack, but just moving everyday will teach your body that it's time to change!
You also don't need any equipment if none is available to you. DO bodyweight workouts (pushups, dips, squats, lunges) and play your favorite sports.
As long as you stay away from nutritionless food, you'll soon see your body change.
