Nowadays, getting fat is becoming a common problem, even for teens. But not to worry: There are many ways to lose weight quickly. You can take weight loss pills, or in extreme cases, you can opt for liposuction. However, liposuction is expensive and very risky surgery, so this is not really recommended. Before taking any weight loss pills, you should ask your doctor and your parents first as this may have unhealthy effects on your body. The ideal way for teen girls to lose weight fast is to diet and to have regular exercise, which is a safer and healthier method. If you want to lose weight fast for your upcoming prom, then it would be best to start a healthy diet at least a month before the prom.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Take note that dieting does not mean starve yourself. To starve your body of nutrients is definitely not a good way to lose weight. To diet means to make a few changes to your accustomed eating habits and for a fast result, you should stick to your diet.

  2. Step 2

    Learn about the food pyramid so you can plan healthy meals. Include fewer fats and oils, but add more fruits and vegetables to your meals.

  3. Step 3

    Reduce junk food snacks because they have high oil content. Instead, you can have a carrot or banana for a snack. Skipping meals is also not a solution to fast weight loss. So if you are used to eating in between meals, you can opt for five small meals instead of three full meals a day.

  4. Step 4

    Start a healthy routine of exercise to help burn the accumulated fat in your body because dieting won't be enough. Remember that the exercise need not be very strenuous as long as you burn those calories. If you are not fond of running or weightlifting, you can opt for brisk walking. Your exercise should last at least 30 minutes to an hour a day.

  5. Step 5

    Consume nothing after 6 p.m. except water or coffee. By doing this, it is more likely that all food will be digested before bedtime, reducing the chance of fat buildup from undigested food.

Tips & Warnings
  • You can take a day off each week from the diet so you will not get bored with it. It will be best to avoid sweets such as ice cream and chocolate. Determination and motivation play an important role in your weight loss goal.
  • You should see your doctor first if you are obese to get help with meal planning. If you take a day off from your diet, make sure you do not overeat because it can ruin your diet. Self-discipline is the key to achieving your goals of losing weight fast, so when you plan to diet, make sure you follow it strictly. Teens who want to take diet pills should consult with their doctor and parents for proper advice.
