don't let it be available to you, hide it or let someone hide it.  that would probably help, i know that when i have junk food around i will keep eating it, but if i don't then i dont complain.....

my dad passed away when he was 42 from heart attack...\nso i share the same concern with you\n-first try to control the diet by reducing fat in it encourage  fruit and vegitble intake \n-by the age of 20 let them do lipid profile test to see the amount of fat in their bodies\n-avoid hypertension(don't add extra salt for their food)\n-avoid smoking\n-avoid alcohol \n-avoid obesity\n-do exercise \nwhat i want to tell you here is that for ischemic heart disease there are unmodified risk factors and modified risk factors \nunmodified it means that you can not change it as ;age,male gender,family history,race\nand the modified risk factors which i told you above how to beat\nwish you luck

id say dont go an a diet just learn how to eat good, eating good doesnt nessecarily mean a diet, just read up when ever you can, not any fad stuff. just learn to read labels, like ingrediants and the rest of the stuff. switch to whole wheat breads and pastas,  and buy more fruit and veggies. If you learn to eat good you wont nessecarily be on a diet and you can pass the healty eating on to your kids too. im 26 and have been reading up on this stuff for about a year now and still have a lot to learn. so id say just read, read, read, ( i get a lot of info from mens health mag.)

I must admit that I am in no way familiar with "The Tao of Health, Sex, and Longevity", however, I am currently a Dietetic Intern and have a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics. \n\nWhen anyone tries to eliminate entire food groups or classes of foods it is very hard. I would recommend that when you get those urges to make your own desserts/cravings at home. If you are not a big cook try the Kraft Foods website or other recipe websites. Kraft has simple, easy recipes and you don't have to use Kraft products to actually make the recipes, they just recommend that you do. Making your own cravings at home is usually cheaper and healthier and may be an excepted part of the regime you speak of. \n\nTruly healthy eating is not the elimination of foods but smart thinking and moderation. Many times distractions come when we place ourselves in places/situations where the distractions are. These may include television commercials, friends/family who do not follow the same regimes, etc. You may have to turn the TV off or inform your friends/faily of your regime and ask that they respect you and not take offense if you decline. \n\nSome more tips for resisting the urge include\n-chewing gum\n-sweet candies like Jolly Ranchers (just a few)\n-snacking on fresh fruit/vegetables\n-water or flavored water\n-exercise\n\nGood luck. As I said before, I'm not familiar with your regime, but the more you deny yourself, the more you will want it, so do everything in moderation and when all else fails, make it at home yourself.

The best thing to do is to make an appointment with your doctor (and if you don't have a family doctor go to a waslk-in clinic) he/she will be able to give you the best advice on a good eating habit.

You are right, what parent would tell their child they were fat!?\n\nDo one thing, next time you are at the doctor's office have the nurse weigh you and then ask the doctor how you compare to other healthy girls your age.  Then you will know if you are just being crazy or if you should watch what you eat.\n\nIf you should watch what you eat, then try this first:\n\nStop drinking sodas!(or pick the worst thing you do regularly, like eat french fries, or drink whole milk and stop that one thing).\n\nThen do this next:\n\nReplace your worst habit with a good habit.  Drink diet sodas (I know sometimes they taste bad, but it is better than nothing, even if it isn't quite as good as drinking a lot of H20).\n\nEasy right!  Just stop one thing and replace it with one thing.  Do it until you feel you love what you do.  It will help you to feel a bit skinnier, and successful.  You are being healthy!  Awesome.  Now, you can try another thing...like....you be creative.....always improving is what it is all about.\n\nOne last thing; if a new food or habit should come along (ie smoking) save yourself the trouble of having to quit it in the future.....don't start bad habits.  Don't start being addicted to cheesecake if you aren't already.\n\nLearn moderation while you are young, you will be so happy with yourself when you turn 30.  Haha.\n\nGood luck my friend

If you are only 14 then you should talk to your parents and let them know that you are not comfortable with your weight and would like to try dieting and exercising...you are so young and have plenty of time to get your body in the shape you want if you start now then you will be able to maintain that shape you are looking for...If you have tried dieting and exercising and it didn't work talk to your doctor you may have a medical condition that prevents you from losing weight without some form of treatment

Pass out little debbie cakes to all of them and tell them all to eat something!!!!  Just kidding sweetie.  I actually used to be really really big and recently lost 87 pounds.  I don't really like outside kind of exercises because I feel like everyone is watching me so I dance all the time to my radio at home.  And I dont eat until i am full anymore.  I stop eating when I don't feel hungry anymore.  Plus I drink water constantly all day long.  It helps to flush out your body so you lose weight faster. I hope this helps you sweetie and Good Luck!! (NO SODA!!!! it is really bad on your kidneys and lowers your metabolism)\nBut if u r really only 10 years old...then u shuldn't be worried about your weight right now.  Just enjoy your childhood sweet-heart!  Live Life Happy...that's why God put us here!

You mean diet? Well diets are free if you just do some research on the web about food and then create your own diet. One with the healthy food you like and that you can live with. Also just dance around like a crazy person as excercise. It is fun and burns calories.

The best way is by acquiring good habits.  Not just good eating habits but also a couple of rules of thumb:  If eating carbs only do it in the morning b/f 10 a.m, don't eat after 4 or 5 p.m, don't skip meals, drink lots of water.  Stay away from temptation and people who overeat (if family members try to eat at a different time at leat at the beggining), exercise.  Start incorporating these things little by little into your life.  Overdoing anything being diet or exersice will make u not want to do it again so start slowly accepting that u might not be so strong willed all the time and that if u do diviate from your plan b/c of cheesecake or ice cream its OK but u have to pay by exercising more.

the easiest thing for you to do is be your own dietician and trainer.  Go to the bookstore and read up on stuff.  most sites, even if you don't have to pay, are going to be aimed at people over 18.  Its hard for a internet program to be accurate with teens cause each one is so different and is changing.  \n\nthe basic rules are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fruits, vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. No alcohol if that applies. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. \nAs for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym even if its just for a month or two to educate yourself. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me. Good Luck!
