Tips Of The Day

A good diet for teens does not provide a quick solution or rapid weight loss. Many of these, even if they work, are potentially dangerous. Far better is a teenage diet plan that is sustainable and maintains health in a growing and developing body. Dietician Sheela Seharawat of Diet Clinic has to say that the key difficulty is that many of the foods that teens enjoy contain sugars and fats and are the main reason for a teen being overweight. Fried foods, potato chips, buttered popcorn, sodas, and the like, add calories with little nutritional value. Instead of aiming for fast weight loss, longer term benefits will be gained by adopting a plan that includes enough proteins, carbohydrates and fats to provide the balanced nutrients required for good health as well as weight loss.
