1. Get plenty of protein. This will make you strong and healthy. Your body thrives on it. Get it in the form of chicken, turky, cheese, and nuts (almonds are great for you). But remember to balance it with the other food groups. You should NEVER eat protein by itself. For example, have a couple of boiled eggs for breakfast WITH a slice of whole wheat toast.

2. Take supplements. Vitamins will nourish your body. Take a multivitamin every day. Probably get some Biotin in your diet as well. Fish Oil would be good for your cardiovascular system. Gellatin capsules are great for your bones and joints, so they may help you grow. Remember, your body is a system. Every aspect depends on something else. If everything is being taken care of, your chances of growing to your full potential will be better.

3. Be mindful of your posture. Do exercises and other activities which will keep your head high and proud. A lot of people think they’re shorter than they really are because they don’t stand up straight.

Those are my tips. Please remember that you still have a lot of growing to do. There is a window of growth from now until you are about 22 or so. Do everything you can to be healthy!

It seems like you pretty much know what you have to do for eating healthy.
You won’t lose 50 lbs overnight, it’s going to take some time. I would suggest getting on the scale once a week. Losing 2 lbs a week seems like a reasonable goal (if you continue to eat healthy and start to exercise daily). Keep track of your progress.

Exercise and weight loss won’t help you grow, but eating healthy will. Make sure you eat your veggies, get all your nutrients in. Don’t skip meals, and eat healthy foods- whole grains, lean meat, dairy, veggies, fruits, etc. Continue to drink lots of water. I would drink less juice, it’s pretty sugary. Substitute it with water.

Good luck.

I’m currently a 15 year old male, I will be 16 this Feb 2nd 2010.
I am Caucasian, my nationality is Calabrese (Southern Italian of Reggio di Calabria)
I have wavy dark hair, people mistake it as black when it is really dark brown. Kinda course texture, so i use a leave-in conditioner to leave it nice and smooth.
I have brown eyes
olive colored skin slightly fair skin in the winter, and more tan/olive in the summer.

Plain and simple I’m an Italian, Guido etc. whatever!

I used to be thinner but between the ages of 12-15 I have gained weight alot so I went from 100 pounds to now 180

I’m not thrilled about my weight, I want to lose like 40-50 pounds, get ride of my love handles, my butt and thighs, belly more flat etc.

I’m ashamed to take my shirt off when Im at the beach.

I’d like to improve my muscle tone, but I’m happy with what I have. although I do have some stretch marks on my upper arms what can you do about those oh well, you cant see them when im wearing a shirt.

I have a height of approx. 5 feet and 3 inches, or 63.6 inches.

I want to be taller, my best friend who is like a little brother to me (13 yrs. turning 14 in March) is almost my height, he used to be shorter than me last year, he is growing like a weed, then again he is much thinner than i am. This is embarrassing and I don’t want him to pas me up.

Here are some steps that I have taken to help me lose weight;
-drink more water
-drink water w/ fiber supplement before going to bed
-fat burning pills and carbohydrate burning pills in the morning to help control cravings and appetite.
-I try to eat less or no desserts
-sit up straight in-stead of hunch.
-instead of drinking soda i drink more orange juice/ cranberry juice/water and sometimes diet soda.
-before winter i rode my bike and/or walked for at least 3 miles around my neighborhood after school.
-i don’t do sports b/c i work and i have lost interest
-the only sports i used to do is competitive swimming

Here is an important question…does exercise/weight loss help you to grow?
I don’t think I have had much of a growth spurt at all.

So please give me some tips to improve my weight and height

Also another important detail, not only is it difficult for me to lose weight b/c of my appetite which im trying to limit, I take prescribed medications by my doctor and psychiatrist for my newly formed depression which i have been suffering with for a year now. I have been on medications such as Lexapro & Seroquil which made me gain excessive weight from June 2009-present up to 50 pounds and I have told my doctor Im un-satisfied with the meds b/c of weight gain and they simply don’t help me, so now I’m on Wellbutrin.

This is a very personal and touchy subject please treat this with respect and sensitivity.
