Want A Healthy Diet For Your Teenager?

In choosing a healthy diet for teenagers, there are a few important things that need to be considered.

First, one needs to consider how easily the diet will fit into the teenager's lifestyle. The last thing that a teen wants to do is be on a diet that will make them stand out from their peers.

It should be a diet that a teenager could stick to as well, since something unrealistic or too restrictive will make them resentful and likely to give up, which would not only give them further health problems, but self esteem issues to boot.

The healthy diet for teenager should also have some "fun" in it. Not many teenagers want to stick on a basic low calorie diet of the same boring foods all the time.

If the teenager is a picky eater, that needs to be taken into consideration, and not to mention their normal need of your support.

One diet meets all of these criteria. The diet, called calorie cycling, is a new spin on a popular bodybuilding tactic. Calorie cycling allows people to lose weight very quickly, and is highly recommended by doctors and psychologists.

The reason that this is so highly recommended is because there's a lot of leeway in it. 5 days a week, the teenager would eat a moderate amount of calories (it's calculated based on the age, weight, and activity level of each person). For 2 days, they get to have "cheat" days.

Teenagers generally love this diet because they don't feel as if they have to be strict all the time... and although it doesn't seem like it would help, the high calorie days actually allow dieters to lose even more weight through "tricking" the metabolism.
