Hello. Let me cut to the chase- I am 14 and 200 pounds. Dun Dun Dun. XD Anyways, my goal is to drop to 150 in TWO years, alright? I know it's completely do-able, but could I have some help to get me started? The thing is, I want to lose weight the 'real' way, by that I mean not eating all diet foods but normal, healthier foods and exercise. (That word makes me cringe, lol) Can the nice community of Yahoo! Answers help me out here by listing some healthy/normal foods you like for breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, and occasionally desert? Also examples of meals? There is one more big problem... I'm addicted to caffeine. I am pretty much powered by caffeine on weekdays. If I don't drink at least 3 diet sodas a day with caffeine I will get a serious headache. (Average day is around 6.) By serious I mean when we didn't go to the store my head made me sick to my stomach and I had to come home from school and miss the next day. I want to break this addiction as well, but I don't want to just not drink it because I fucking love it and I don't want to get physically hurt during the process. XD I was thinking about going on a low-carbohydrate diet but really, that's not very healthy, is it? Please give more than one options for each food category as examples. Also, what amount of food-categories do I need again? One more thing, salad is not something I 'enjoy' unless there is quite a bit of ranch dressing on it...but I'll force myself to eat it if I have to. I love tomatoes. I hate carrots plain but I will eat them with ranch again...I love tomatoes and carrots with ranch, but ranch is probably horrible for you. Are granny-smith apples (the green ones) worse for you than the standard red ones? Thanks. Oh, one more thing- is this too much vitamins? I've started taking two vitamin Es and one vitamin C a day. Not at one time, I'll usually take 1 E or an E and C in the morning then an E later. Is this too much? omg you guys are dumbshits and wont even answer my question
