At least for me.
I know being 13 years old, people are always telling you, it doesn't matter if you are a little overweight now, you will grow out of it...I usually watch my weight very well, but over the last few months I have noticed myself slip. Here is my diet:
Jog 1.6 miles everyday after school (it's not as long as it feels)
Food Diary (it really works...by writing down what you eat, it makes you realize that you are eating too much, or just enough.)
Watch what you eat (diets where you cut one thing out (cals, carbs), may be effective in a quick fix, but they can actually be quite unhealthy for your body, unless you keep it balanced)
Here is my weight chart:
5/14/05 - Before Jog: 146, After jog: 144.5, Waist size: 35.25 in
5/15/05 - Before jog: 145, After jog: 143, waist size: 35 in
As you can see it is quite effective and healthy...I recommend this 'diet' to everyone. What helps me to push my self to go faster when I run is I think about my brother...he is a star track and cross country winner, and is known throughout the county...this helps me because I push myself faster imagining beating him in a race. I guess it might help if you imagined you beating me beating my brother when you jog.
I will keep this up until June 14 (one full month), and then maintain what I eat forever on. If you try this, let me know how you do.
