im 16 year old boy need some advice
Hi im 16 years old and im on a diet that has been affective but over time. I dont eat breakfast. I have my lunch at 12:30 and dinner at 7:30. My mom keeps bugging me that this will slow down my metablism and get really fat. My friends tell me that im getting weaker. Should i continue this diet or stop doing. It has been very affective. I am about 6 feet tall and I've went from 200 lbs to 170lbs since Novemeber. I work out occasionally and if i do its push ups. Shall i continue or stop doing this diet?
Thank you
Thank you

Are you eating too many calories? How long are you spending at the gym? Sometimes, if you're getting a lot of exercise, you're building muscle, so weight loss will be slower, but your body will be getting smaller.
Hi I'm also 16 but my weight is 220 lbs
So what should I do. I went to gym for 1 month but there was not a single kg drop

I'm glad to hear that you eat a variety of veggies. I do know that Indian food is usually heavily spiced AND I can tell you that some spices (for instance, red pepper) are conducive to weight loss, which is a good thing.
It sounds like you might just need to watch your portion sizes and make sure you get adequate exercise in order to lose weight.
As your body matures, you may naturally slim down.
By all means, don't hesitate to come back here, in fact, feel free to check in and post regularly.

yes i know , its not only tomatoes i eat , cucumber, carrot and many greens with the curd and at night the same thing along with a piece of chicken etc . so i guess lack of eating will loose too much weight and it sounds not good so i have increased in eating (only healthy) food. since you asked about my family when it comes to veggies its well .... i'm not really sure u'll understand cause we eat mostly indian food (and i dont know what they are called in english) like daal, all sorts of bajjies (almost all are very healthy) and when it comes to meats i hope you know that our indian culture is very rich in spices and most of the meat food are spicey but my aunt reduces on that (she may make the food spicey mostly during christmas and special events) and i am the only one who has changed the diet , my family is on with their usual. yes i do the nuts part for snacks instead of potato chips and all other junk foods, i quit all that. the bread i eat is completely fat free and is healthy. so now that you have said, i have understood the changes i have to make in my diet. thank you very much for you're generous help. if i ever again need help regarding my eating habits i'll definately come here.

It still doesn't sound like you are eating enough calories, but I don't know what the bread is made of, so can't really say on that.
You need more veggies - not just tomatoes.
I'm not a math whiz, but my calculation shows that 3-4 kg, is equal to 6.6-8.8 pounds. That's WAY too much to lose in 3 days.
Safest weight loss is 1-2 pounds (0.5-0.9 kg) per week.
You are still young and your body is not fully developed; in order for you to develop properly and be healthy, you need to eat well - not necessarily a lot, just things that are good for you. Often as children grow taller, they begin to slim down, so it's not unusual that you would look thinner at 16 than you did at 13.
I'm not familiar with your customs. Do all of your family eat the same things you are eating? You need to eat lots of veggies, lean meats (chicken is great) and dairy for protein. Most veggies have very few calories, so can be eaten freely. Nuts are good for you, but most have a pretty high fat content, so should be limited to a few/day.
Instead of "being on a diet", you should be making lifestyle changes that you can live with from now on, because you can't maintain this "diet" for very long and there's a good chance you will regain the weight. Watching portion sizes and losing weight slowly, will make it easier for you to keep it off, and will allow you to continue developing in a healthy manner.

and now that this is the third day i am following my new diet, i have lost 3-4 kgs.
thank you, hmmm, so i changed my diet when it comes to lunch as well as dinner. i started eating tomatoes, curd with 2 kabuuses (an arabic country bread (no fat), i am an indian from india but a citizen of kuwait )so i hope i'm not literally starving myself now i am eating more of veggies. my dad gives me a small piece of chicken for my dinner meal , even though it worries me. is this okay now ?

You are not eating nearly enough food, for a growing boy; you are literally starving yourself.
You need to calculate how many calories you need/day and eat them. You are getting very little nutrition in the diet you are eating.
