Entering puberty, girls experience accelerated physical development, and secondary sexual characteristics start to develop, making them fuller. If not careful about controlling diet and increasing physical activity, it is easy for adolescent girls to gain weight. If a teenage girl's weight exceeds 20% of the normal weight, she should start losing weight. If she chooses to diet, she needs to pay attention to the following aspects.
1. Avoid inappropriate weight loss methods
Liposuction, medication for weight loss, excessive exercise for weight loss, and excessive fasting are not suitable for adolescent girls. These weight loss methods can lead to poor development and various diseases.
2. Avoid starving
Adolescent girls are in a period of growth and development, and their bodies need a large amount of nutrition. Excessive fasting can hinder their physical development, leading to poor development of secondary sexual characteristics and height.
3. Maintain physical and mental health and happiness
Being mentally happy and participating in social activities can not only burn calories but also help forget hunger. Conversely, if a person is depressed, they may unconsciously eat a large amount of food, leading to weight gain.
4. Ensure sufficient nutrition, moderate calorie intake, and a reasonable diet structure
The intake of calories should not be too high. Pay attention to the combination of various nutrients and eat less high-fat and high-calorie foods such as cream desserts and chocolate.
5. Consume foods that contain protein, various vitamins and minerals, and dietary fiber
6. Drink plenty of water, generally 6-8 cups per day for each person
Drinking water is not related to obesity, so there is no need to restrict water intake. Moreover, water plays a significant role in promoting the normal function of antibodies in the human body, so it is advisable to drink more water.
In addition, adolescent girls should participate in outdoor activities, which can not only exercise their bodies but also increase calorie expenditure, helping them maintain a slim figure.
