Hey there! You’re 15, so your body is still growing and there’s a good chance the weight gain is because of that and the hormones going on in your body. I wouldn’t be too worried about it at your age- I remember being 15 and thinking I was fat but knowing I wasn’t overweight. Looking back at it now I was much too thin- I lost my period for about a year around that time because my body fat was way too low. If you want to just make your lifestyle healthier I’m all for that though- I’m just not an advocate at all for aims to lose weight as a 15 year old, because at least in my personal experience it definitely leads to some messed up views on body image and food- and I’m still fighting these habits and thoughts I picked up around your age.

As far as becoming healthier, I’d try to just drink more water- aim for at least 8 cups a day and even better would be 10. Just make sure you spread this out throughout the day and don’t just try to drink it all at once. And maybe switch out some sodas or juices for flavored water or something- you can get the packets for flavored water or just make your own by adding fruit or something if you want a sweeter taste than just plain water. I’d also just try to limit sweets/desserts to just one or two servings a day for the most part- by all means eat to your hearts content on special occasions or just every once in a while. Just try to take baby steps to eating healthier and you’ll see a big difference in your mood and overall health and maybe even lose a couple of pounds if that’s healthy. I’d also recommend just trying to go out and take a walk for maybe 15-20 min every day. It doesn’t have to be a power walk by any means but just a nice stroll to enjoy the lovely weather outside and it’ll help clear your head too if you have a lot on your mind. Much love! X

What's your view on musli ? I wanna try it for my breakfast routine, from what I heard : musli + milk + apple + one slice of whole bread = don't feel hungry for at least 7 hours. If you did try it, does it taste good ? Healthy or not I won't be able to eat it if it tastes like crap :p ^^'

I LOVE MUESLI! It’s a lot like oatmeal, so I mean it’s not for everyone- my best friend hates oatmeal and I love it haha. But she does like muesli so I mean TRY IT!! Haha Anywho, I’d recommend trying it at least once just to get a feel for the taste and texture and all. As far as the foods, that would differ from person to person because some people stay full longer than other depending on metabolism, but for the most part muesli, like oatmeal, pretty darn filling and good for you. Two thumbs up from me! X

I feel cluesless, for the moderation thing. Cause everythime I eat "traditionally" I don't feel bac, just a liltle bit but just a bit upset that I'm cheating on my diet. I can't always eat healthy if I want to keep with all these traditional stuff and it kinds of pisses me off :/

Ooh is this the continuation of the last ask? Whoops. But I still recommend making the two lists!! I completely understand what you’re thinking. Today my dietitian gave me some tough love and was like mix your lists. Eat a couple oreos as a side for lunch even if you think it’s awful and super unhealthy- you like oreos so if you eat it in moderation and don’t think of it as bad food. Don’t put it into a dark place, because this is what makes you feel deprived and is why you break and have really bad days eating all and only junk foods. So rather than having really “good” and “bad” days have moderate ones and that’d get you further in your fitness goals and you’d be a lot happier too. I LITERALLY LOVE MY NEW DIETITIAN BECAUSE SHES MORE BLUNT AND I LOVE THIS TOUGHER LOVE.

Here's the thing : I live with my parents and most of the time, my mom's cooking but sometimes it's me or I can just cook for myself and have my healthy meal on my own. I haven't eaten a lot of my mom's cooking lately and now she's like 'I know you wanna be healthy but don't forget your roots. You'll regret it when you won't be ble to eat a good traditional meal' ... Soomehow she's right but my culture (talking bout food) is so unhealthy. So much white rice , meat, oil ect ect ...

Hey! MODERATION! Make a list of things you would consider healthy and one that you would consider unhealthy. Then combine them and that’s what I would recommend eating daily. So all of that food like white rice and oil that your mom makes that you think are unhealthy should be somewhat incorporated every day. Even things like white rice that you would consider unhealthy still should be somewhat considered just to ensure you get enough carbs- carbs provide you much needed energy! I just went to a different dietitian today and I LOVED how she had me do this today. Hopefully it works for you! X

The Best Cardio Drill You've Never Tried

The fastest way to accelerate fat loss and get your heart pumping is to stand in one spot. You just need to plant your feet, grab some heavy battlingheavy battling ropes, and prepare to rain sweat. “Rope training is an easy-to-master, no-impact workout that raises your heart rate quickly,” says Todd Durkin, C.S.C.S., author of The IMPACT! Body Plan. Just because it’s simple, though, doesn’t mean it’s easy. The constant motion of the ropes will blast your core and upper body. Plus, ropes generate more sustained power than running. That means you’ll get an unbelievable metabolic and conditioning workout without taking a step.

Ready to try it? Watch the video below to see how to make parallel slams with the battling ropes. Then, complete 75 slams as fast as possible.

Durkin completed 75 slams in 1 minute and 3 seconds. Next, Durkin had his NFL clients attempt the challenge. Chicago Bears cornerback Charles “Peanut” Tillman and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Josh Johnson each finished the challenge in blistering 48 seconds. What was your time? Let us know in the comments below.

Need another way to ignite your metabolism, raise your fitness level, and break the boredom of your cardio finales? Try one of these Best Fat-Frying Finishers.
