How to lose 1-2 pounds in shortest amount of time?

Hi everyone!
I'm 13yo from Canada.
I'm about 5'1", 110 pounds.
Lately a bunch of fat has gathered around my belly area, and i really want to get rid of it.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi there and welcome to the boards.


First of all, I'm guessing you're not looking to lose 1-2 lbs, you're looking to get rid of your "flab".

At your age it its normal to not yet have grown into weight, i wouldnt worry too much about it.
That said, if you want to get rid of it, diet and exercise are your keys.

Because of your age I wouldn't suggest going on a calorie deficit, but rather eating your normal maintinance calorie, just from healthy foods at the right times, and combining it with a lifting and cardio program.

edit: Just in case the 1-2 lbs you want to lose is for wrestling or something like that, the fastest way to lose 1-2 lbs would be to not eat/drink for X hours and do a sauna. However this is not fatloss, and is not healthy and is just a temporary water loss.

You're 13... Don't worry about losing fat now, you are still growing. If you are concerned, just focus on staying active and living an active lifestyle rather than dieting and exercising while you are still have so much growing to do.
 
Thanks, but for cardio, i have a excercise bike, how long and how frequent should i ride it for? and what speed

For efficiency I'd recommend doing an interval program if your bike has it. Makes riding it much more fun and less time consuming.

Personally I - if time allows me - enjoy doing some cardio in the mornings.
Kick-starts my day, and I'd recommend anyone to give it a go, how ever light.
Remember to eat first though.

If you can handle it, and you can include a morning session, try to do 2x a day. This recommendation is presuming you are not doing real HIIT in which case 2x a day every day would be nuts.

Also, and this is a big one, you should get an exercise program that involves your largest muscle groups(Legs shoulders etc etc). You don't need a bunch of gear to do good exercises, check the link on this site for good body weight exercises.
 
Well, the main reason i want to lose my belly, is because im going to a beach in about 2 weeks, so i wanna look good.

and also, i think i have abs :S like when i tense it up you can see the top pair, and sometimes the 2nd pair, but never the 3rd pair cuz of the belly
 
Yeah, when you say weight, I'm assuming you don't want to lose muscle. First and foremost you need to shift your thinking, it will help you out in the long run.

You want to lose fat... so the best way is to do 10-10-10 split low-med-high intensity workout in the morning. The lbs of fat will just melt off.

Also incorporate spices in your foods to drive your metabolic rate through the roof.

Hope that helps. If you want more details on the 10-10-10, just download my free report. I go into detail (3 pages long) and provide a full fat-burner workout plan that spans for 3 weeks.

All that info is obviously too much to post here.
Let me know how it works out for you.

Flab isn't just the 2 extra pound of fat you can see, it's probably closer to 5-10lbs of extra fat on your entire body. The part you see is just where your body concentrated the storage. Your body does not evenly distribute fat. It has parts of your body where it prefers to store extra fat before storing it elsewhere. The stomach is one of these areas.

You say you can see your abs? Abs are EXTREMELY hard to define, and for some genetics, maybe even impossible (I can't say that for sure though, however I can assure you that the abs are, generally speaking, the hardest area of your body to develop visible definition of the muscle. Not only do you need large muscles, but you need a VERY low percentage of body fat so the muscle isn't hidden under the fat padding.

You definitely don't sound overweight. It just sounds to me like your body stored some fat in your gut rather than spreading it out all over the body. A little pudge of flab at the bottom could be a number of things, especially at your age. Hormones, growth spurts, anxiety, these could all cause your body to store extra fat here and there.

When you do hit your growth spurt, you'll probably notice yourself getting a little pudgier. Slight accumulations of fat or weight gain is perfectly normal at your age and is just part of growing into a new body.

This doesn't mean you shouldn't be exercising though. Exercising will definitely help to keep your overall weight down, and is most beneficial when you're still going through puberty, so now's the best time to start.

Just eat well, be smart, realize that your body is only going to reflect how you treat it. If you know you're healthy, and you know that your body can perform well athletically, you have all you need to find complete confidence in yourself, regardless of whether or not you have a little patch of growth weight showing every once in awhile.
