Weight loss
Hi, I’m 16 years old and weigh about 200 pounds. I’m an amputee, with my prosthetics I’m 5’7” but without them I’m 5’2”. Obviously I am pretty overweight, and in reality very short so I’m scared once I lose weight I’ll have a bunch of extra/loose skin especially my breast area. Can anyone tell me what weight I should be at (I get very confused on that since I have “two heights”), what kind of diet and how much exercise I should be doing daily? Thanks so much :)

You need to take high fiber low fat diet. Drink lot of water everyday. Take small and frequent meals at regular intervals of 2-3 hrs. Avoid outside food completely. Do crunches and pushups daily to reduce belly fat. Ask me directly for customized diet plan for you.

To reduce weight you need to avoid processed ready to eat foods that come in a pack like backed, fried and confectionary, minimise dairy food, rice and wheat based food, sugar, oil & salt. Increase intake of fruits and vegetables, sprouts, nuts and seeds.
