Daily walking is good, but a 17 year-old should be doing more really, you are young and should be fit.

Whole grain is certainly best, higher GI, slower to digest and release the sugars. If you have already developed a balanced diet and are in great shape, then stopping the bread is not required. Some people eat about half a loaf a day - way too much energy. Yes, but not as a permanent change – just give up all bread for a week to assess how it affects your total calorie intake.

I'm confused because I thought whole grain bread was good for you. I haven't eaten white bread in years but I do eat whole grain bread pretty regularly. Although it's not the main source of carbs in my diet, I do try to limit it. By giving up bread, do you mean white bread which is highly processed?

Start working your body harder, aim to get fitter. Keep eating healthy and avoid all the little treats.

Im 24 & about 165Ibs. Im currently into weight gaining program so engage in weight lifting excercise. My only part in the body that is fat would be my belly. Most people give advices on losing body weight but here i want to gain more muscle mass & only need to shred those fat belly. Some even say that weightlifters dont engage in much cardio exercise since they want to gain mass. But with my research i have noticed cardio is important to lose belly fat. I need sum advice to lose my belly fat through some food habits & some stomach exercises. Thanks Hi. Im 24 & about 165Ibs.

Really, this may be enough, if you walk enough. On average running burns energy at about 4 times the rate of walking, but most people are capable of walking for 60 minutes, few are capable of running (not jogging) for 15 minutes. So for now, stick with walking and just get more active. Try to rely on private transport less, and get more active elsewhere. Just getting out of the house more often burns energy.

If you are not losing fat it is because you are consuming too many calories. Cut out the Syntha 6 and only have bread once a day, so drop the peanut butter sandwich and have soup or salad instead.

However, most women have stopped growing taller by the age of 22 so do not be surprised if you do not grow any more.
