Try to drink a couple of glasses of water before eating. Eat lots of veggies-they're full of fiber so they're very filling. Make sure you eat enough protein. Try eating whole grains instead of white but use portion control. Get up and brush your teeth-no one likes to eat with a minty mouth lol.

well definetely eat two meals during the day. If you're starving yourself during the day you will for sure eat more. And you should cook only enough food so there won't be more than one serving for each person, and try cooking filling veggies with dinner, like a whole sweet potato which only has like 110 calories. I think I read that the more variety you cook the more you will eat. So try to cook meals where there's only 2 things on your plate. ahh... sorry for the long post, but I hope it helps!

eat every few hours but smaller portions at first I find planning what you will eat helpful. Like when I first try to get eating right I allow more at first and tend to go to fruit alot. Maybe look for healthy alternatives to not so healthy things you really like.

For me, I found that if I try to make choices, then I don't always make good choices. What works for me it to take out the element of choice. I have to feel like I will eat healthy, no matter what.

I started an actual diet program that has a meal plan that has a list of allowable proteins, starches, vegetables, and fruits. It also tells me how big a "portion" is and then how many portions of each I get each day. I am a rule follower, so these simple guidelines eliminate my choice of what to eat and how much to eat. I find that it is now really simple to eat healthy and eat reasonable amounts. It's becoming second nature to me, so I'm hoping that once the official diet is over, I will continue to eat with similar habits.

Try adding a few snacks in between meals. I've found that a meal replacement shake or bar helps quite a bit. Take Care!

This is all good advice. You definitely can't starve yourself. Keeping 4-5 small meals a day is the best. Lots and lots of veggies are key. For me, I know that if I eat something that doesn't fit my new regime, I will pay for it and I can't afford that.

Once you start feeling really well and knowing that giving in to temptations will cause a set back, the temptations become less and less tempting.

I eat a big salad with dinner every night and vegetables too. I've read a lot about switching up our portions to 1/3 protein and 2/3 vegetables versus the opposite which is generally the American way.

I'd recommend finding something you can enjoy snacking on that is good for your progress. Have you tried collard greens? Do you like them? Vegetables, quinoa?

Best of luck in conquering this!

I agree with just about every single thing mentioned here. The only thing I can add is to try to eat s-l-o-w-l-y and thoughtfully/mindfully. Try not to wolf down your food, go slow, and stay engaged and thinking about what you are putting in your mouth. I find that is a necessity for controlling portions. Also, planning your meals and your portions and sticking to the plan can help with this.

Not eating isn't a good thing. You are starving yourself and then you can not lose weight as your body goes into starvation mode.

As for enjoying the food and eating too much. You are hungry. all the advice given is good. find what works for you.

Do you have any real plan besides skipping meal?

A book that helped me was "Thin Commandments" Maybe, it will help you too.

Some great ideas given here. I believe, since you are a teenager, and still growing, try to eat healthy foods. Try for portion control on the bad stuff. Like fill up a plate, and don't let yourself get seconds. But, please eat at least 3 meals a day and a few snacks (apples, oranges, grapes, etc....It is good when you are young, to start good habits, so when your 62 like I am, your wt will not do the yo-yo.
Happy, healthy eating to you.......
