What is a healthy way for my sister to lose weight?!
Question: She is 11 year's old and she wants to lose some weight before summer.
Answers:
Teach her to eat better foods in moderation and to become more active. By better foods I mean low-fat(not no-fat) meats and plenty of fruits, vegetables, and yes carbs in moderation. No really fatty sugary foods and not large quantities. If you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain weight. Being active takes energy and burns more calories than sitting around. Also, when you become more active your body usually craves the things it needs which you get from healthy foods. Those foods that were not so tasty before will start looking better. This is a long term fix. Over time you will be healthier and have less body fat. The quick fix of course is to find some crazy diet where you eat only certain foods or don't eat at all. This will drop weight quickly, but nobody stays on those diets and they can do more harm in the long run than good.
Other Answers:
Make sure you have lots of healthy snacks around. Encourage her to play more! Take walks with her and she'll get some good "sister" time in with you!
The most mechanical way to lose weight to expend more calories than you consume, so first diet hardcore, 5 small meals a day with mostly protein, vegetables, and fruits. also i would take some type of thermogenic weight loss pill, they will help boost your losses at first. then also, dont do any lifting but, do a lot of cardio (running, biking, jump rope.) to lose weight healthily you should only lose 2 pounds a week, so go at your own risk, work out 2 or 3 times a day and eat 5 very little very healty meals a day.
well if she thinks her stomach ary is fat do crunchers and hold them every night for atlaest 8 mins it will work but it does hurt. if she just wants to be lighter then yea play with her maybe go for a jog.

ptel her to play games.. have fruits instead of junk... b happy!
I don't know how much she weighs, but if she is overweight, which I assume she is, she needs to cut down on the fat, calorie intake, going on an exercise regimen (walking is the best form), drink more water. Stay away from sodas and sweets. Soda ain't nothing but extra calories anyway. It has no nutrional value whatsoever.
Find a healthy eating/weight loss plan. I recommend the GI diet. Exerise regularly. It's as simple as that.
she's 11...she shouldn't be worrrying about this already. unless of course she's morbidly obese.
you need to eat a hole day only milk products then the next day only vegetables then the next day only fish or grilled chicken and you keep this up for wen ever you think your thin enough.

my mom did this and she lost 10kg
Cut out soft drinks. Diet Coke/Pepsi is fine. And get her to cut out her fave junk food. Mine was chips and just by cutting that out, I have lost 7kg. I did that without exercise too. But walking every day for 30mins will help. Cut down on the carbs at night, and no late nite snacking.

I am going to reveal to you the “Secret Weight Loss Formula” that Celebrity personal trainers use to get their clients lean and fit in record time.
Before I reveal the secret, first I need to explain to you that there is process that your body goes through to burn body fat.
So how does your body burn fat?
It is a two-step process and in order to lose body fat you need to:
1.Release the fat from the fat cells and only then
2.You can burn the fat
How does your body release the fat from the cells?
Before you can turn your body into a fat burning machine, here’s what needs to happen: your body fat needs to be released from the fat cells. You can accomplish this step successfully with your nutrition program. Here are some specific tips that you can apply right away to achieve that.
1.Eat 4-6 small, frequent meals and never skip meals.
2.Eat natural foods; avoid processed & refined foods
3.Eat lean proteins with each meal.
4.Eat more complex carbs, fruits & vegetables.
5.Drink plenty of water
How does your body burn the fat?
When you go on a restrictive diet and then combine it with excessive cardiovascular workouts. You are destined to reach the dreaded weight loss plateau.
Here is the reason behind the plateau; you have burned more muscle tissue than fat with your workouts (and restrictive dieting). This is the worst thing that could happen if you want long term and permanent results.
Let me explain.
Excessive cardio + restrictive dieting = Less Muscle mass = slower metabolism = Weight loss plateau = Yo-Yo dieting
So how do you break this vicious cycle?
How to burn fat instead muscle mass?
You need to do some MODERATE cardio training. The key word here is moderate.
Combining restrictive dieting with too much cardio can be detrimental and I am sure you have seen those people that are doing cardio on a daily basis and still not getting anywhere. The result is a low metabolism. Low metabolism means, your body fat is not going anywhere, anytime soon. Here is what you need to do:
1.Do some moderate cardio training; the key word here is moderate
2.Never “diet” but consume just a little fewer calories than you do burn on a daily basis (No starvation diets, Please.)
Your muscle tissue is your best friend when it comes to burning body fat. You need to preserve muscle tissues in order to keep losing weight.
Most people go on a starvation diet combined a lot of cardio to lose weight. At first it may seems like this is working because the scale is saying so.
Now think about, scale weight does not tell you if weight loss is from fat, water or muscle tissue. Starvation diets combined with excessive cardio make you lose mostly muscle mass, water weight.
Scale weight by itself is not a good indicator of success.
The solution
To maintain muscle mass you need to:
1.Do some resistance training. (This is not optional, it is mandatory)
The secret
Now that you understand the whole fat burning process, I am going to reveal to you how celebrity personal trainers do to get those amazing transformations. The strategy is to combine all the steps that I outlined so the body works as a unit. First, the trainer makes sure that his client is eating the proper food on a regular basis.
By that, I mean eating so that fat WILL be released from the fat cells. Then and only then they exercise the body to burn the fat. The important idea to take from this is:
"The fat can ONLY be burned after it is released from the fat cells".
If you know anybody that has been exercising like a maniac and they don't seem to go anywhere, now you know why.
The reverse is also true, do you know somebody that is eating properly but they are not including any resistance training combined with moderate cardio. Now you know why their body still looks the same.
All you need to do is to combine a nutrition program, along with some MODERATE cardio program and maintain muscle mass with resistance training. Everything is combined with one goal in mind: Turning your body into an Automatic fat burning machine. It is that easy.
There is a final step to that process that almost nobody talks about.
It is tracking your results and adjusting your strategy.
Remember Dr Phil; don’t keep doing something that is not working. Tracking helps you determine what works for YOU and what does not. Without tracking, you have no idea on how to change your strategy.
Don't like the results you have been getting? Then CHANGE YOUR STRATEGY.
DO NOT continue doing something just because "THEY" say it's the way things should be done. Allow yourself to choose the solution that will work for you, regardless of what it may be. The only way for you to know who is right is to measure your progress and ACTUALLY track your results.
CHANGE IS HARD, but it's also worth it. Not getting results makes change EXTREMELY HARD.
Get support from friends, family or a coach who knows about body transformation. Losing weight is not as hard at it seems once you know what works for YOU.
