I am 14 and 190 pounds. I am at a very unhealthy weight for my age and i need to change that. I dont really know how to lose the weight. Its difficult for me to eat healthy with school. I want to go on the Special k cereal diet. My problem is that i get very hungry at school. I eat a good breakfast but i am always starving by lunch. What should i do? I dont have any time to eat in between classes. And i just know if i go on this diet that my stomach will be growling through all my classes and thats just so embarassing. My other problem is the schools lunches. There so unhealthy, the healthyest thing they have is a sandwhich and its loaded with manonaise. I dont know how to go on a diet and not get hungry. What should i do?
to keep from not being hungry, snack on healthy snacks: nuts, fruits, vegetables, or if all else is a pain, then go for a protein bar. i used to pack 2 protein bars a day to eat between breakfast/lunch and lunch/dinner. and i always packed a sandwich for lunch.
Try to eat lots of fiber and protein. The fiber will fill you up and keep you fuller longer. Isneeze funny is right on about packing protein bars (make sure they're not overloaded with tons of extra sugar. I like luna bars or balance bars and I eat one for breakfast almost everyday) and packing lunch, because then you know what is in your lunch.
You can pack some healthy snacks in a baggie like nuts or vegetables or something in your bag. I do this quite often, especially if I know that I'm not going to be able to eat for awhile.
Also drink LOTS of water. This will help keep you full too.

Hey there.
If u don't want to feel hungry the best way i feel is to drink lots and lots of water all the time not only at lunch time.
Benfits heaps to mention u might find on the net but for now Ull feel less hungry and Ur body toxins are being removed as well.Noting xtra to buy & safe way too.i guess u can continue with ur diet but ull cut down most of it as u wont feel much hungry with the help of water filling up ur stomach.
Hope it helps u.
Well if you want to go on the special K diet then they have that special K protein water which will help you to not be hungry till lunch. Also pack a special K granola bar in your pocket and eat it between classes or in class when your teacher is not looking...I did it all the time when I was in HS, just have to be slick with it. I weigh 187 pounds right now so I know where you are coming from. I know its hard but if you stay committed to your goals you will be just fine!
personally, i try to drink a bunch of water and have some protein to start the day, and less carbs. eat often but less. the protein bar is an option for a quick mid morning snack. then, if the school lunch isnt healthy, you dont have to eat it all... portion control is good. again, drink water. take a multivitamin... dont starve yourself... itll backfire. stop with sodas, especially those with tons of sugar.
when it comes to changing your diet, you shouldnt try to radically change it all at once. start with a little portion control maybe... eat a 2/3rds of what you would have before... yes... you might have to leave food on the plate. put in a healthy snack and drink water. sometimes thirst is interpreted as hunger.
some say it takes 6 weeks to develop a habit... that you need to be ready to keep trying and trying... but, again, this isnt about a diet... this is about health... you dont need to fix everything all at once.
also, there is absolutely no substitute for excercise. start with a short walk if you cant run. your day screws your schedule up maybe with school and all, but some suggest excercising in the morning is better than late... your metabolism is more fired up earlier in the day and youll get better results.
so be patient... and dont knock portion control and small meals with healthy snacks and even a treat now and then. you can be amazed at how even just two weeks of eating a little less at each meal will leave you satisfied with less food once your body gets used to it. in fact, if hunger during the day is a big problem, maybe start cutting back at dinner... we tend to overload at the last meal of the day when we need food less...
and try to find a way to workout... it doesnt matter your age... its the best way for your body to shape itself into a healthier you, and coupled with thoughtful eating, its a double plus.
you cannot always choose the food you are going to get at this stage in your life, but you can choose how much to eat... pare it back bit by bit and/or replace poor choices with better choices. you still need calories and good nutrition to be healthy.
remember... six weeks to form a habit. give it time and ease into it.
Get slimquick the podered fruit drinks they made me eat so much less which i kind of thought was unhealthy for me at the time and sometimes i take breaks from it, but also drink lots of water and try to go for as many walks as you can. Don't just stop eating all together because that;s really unhealthy and it's Slimquick not slimfast too , people confuse the 2 a lot.
I currently am seeing a dietician and they encourage small meals (6 a day) to stop hunger and not "crash" throughout the day. Pretty much anything with a lot of carbs or sugar is going to make you crash and make you hungry. Normally I eat a string cheese and a small apple or orange for breakfast (7 a.m.) and around 10 i get hungry again and I am eating South Beach Diet granola bars (they have 10 grams of protein each) and then I am good til lunch. Lunch you can eat whatever you want, just try and have a BIG salad or a cup of soup first to fill you up, and eat as slow as possible. Then the same thing with dinner. I switched from regular to diet pop and dont miss regular at all!!!
Oh yeah... also my fav way to get in a little protein and fill me up is just eat a plain TBS of peanut butter. Full fat peanut butter (not the low fat stuff)
