Svelte teen girls -- being the ugly duckling in a school of swans

Count calories. Have her enter in the food into a food tracker including exercise. I use noom. You can see the bad foods and how high calories are. If you consume less calories, you will lose weight. She can be held accountable for her eating.

No. You do this bc you want to. This is a terrible thing to impose on a daughter.

I have been overweight my entire life. Finally losing. Always thought I ate relatively healthy. Nope. Too many (lower nutrition) carbs and not enough protein. Not saying keto level of rigidity. Just prioritizing protein at meals.

And then just make sure she's moving each day. Take walks together after dinner. Tell her you are doing it for you..but would love the company if she's up for it. Also a great time to just chat about life.

My lean boys are trying to gain weight and eat more protein. I’m not sure this is the answer.

Make sure your boys know they should be eating protein to help build *muscle*, but they need to be in a caloric surplus in order to do so, and for that they need to be eating lots and lots of carbs.

Protein is the most satiating macro.

They eat a ton but they are athletes and burn a lot of calories. They eat a lot of everything.

I was just with some friends who are middle aged and trying to lose weight. They keep calories under 1200 per day and exercise daily. I would encourage exercise whether it is running, biking, yoga, dance, etc.

Off-topic, but 1200 is a recipe for disaster.

Totally unsustainable in the long-term. And the best exercises for weight loss involve a dumbbell. Weight training, HIIT, and then mixed in with slow steady state cardio.

1200 per day + running?!?! they won't last more 3 weeks on that routine

Anyone see Jeff's recap of this thread where he says the OP is sock puppeting?

This makes me sad. We’ve gone from trolling grown women about their weight to trolling teenagers. Did he say anything about the teen on ozempic thread?

I’m not as disciplined as my friend. I work out (run, swim, Orangetheory) and eat around 2000 calories. I’m not losing any weight but I’m fit and a good weight.

And you all jumped right into it, didn’t you? Perhaps the OP did you a service by holding up the mirror so you could see what you really value.

No! Don’t do this.

You are only nudging her towards an eating disorder.

I don’t think keeping track of your food is an eating disorder. I posted a few times on this thread and said I have thin friends. They are all very disciplined, healthy and also attractive. Just because a woman eats salads and no junk doesn’t mean she has an eating disorder.
