Personalized Support for Teens Struggling with Weight Loss

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

It sounds like you’re already doing a fantastic job with your strength training, powerlifting, and maintaining an active lifestyle by walking 10,000 steps a day. However, weight loss can be challenging, especially during the teenage years when your body is still developing. Here are some tailored suggestions:

1. Intermittent Fasting: Consider trying intermittent fasting for two days each week. This method can help regulate your eating patterns and may enhance your metabolism. On non-fasting days, aim to have your breakfast around 10-11 AM.

2. Balanced Meals: For breakfast on fasting days, focus on nutrient-dense options like fruits or legumes. Ensure you're hydrating well throughout the day, aiming for plenty of water intake.

3. Healthy Lunch: For lunch, a small portion of boiled rice with a flavorful sauce can provide the necessary energy without excessive calories.

4. Reduce Unhealthy Ingredients: Aim to minimize your intake of salt, sugar, and total fat. This can help your body respond better to your diet and exercise efforts.

5. Nutritious Dinner: For dinner, incorporating grilled fish with fruits or legumes can be both satisfying and beneficial for your weight loss goals.

6. Consistent Activity: Continue with your daily sports or walking routine for at least 30 minutes, as this will keep your metabolism active.

Remember, weight loss is a gradual process, and what works for one person may not work for another. It’s essential to find a routine that feels sustainable and healthy for you. If you’re interested in personalized guidance, don’t hesitate to book a consultation with our doctors for tailored support and advice.

Thanks
