Question 5

will a carb diet work on a 13 year old boy?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: Usually it is not recommended for teenagers to be on very restrictive diets (like giving up all of one type of food, or only eating one type). The best diet is a balanced one with small portions of healthy foods. Paying attention to eating when you are hungry, and not just "because" will also help. Get some healthy exercise. If you are concerned, see your doctor.

Question 6

can you tell me diet plan for a 13 year old boy?

Not in 400: Characters or less. You may wish to consult with a nutritionist who can provide individualized recommendation (if weight loss is medically indicated).

Question 7

is it unusual for a 13-year-old boy to masturbate?

No: This is the time when he is entering puberty with all the hormonal changes that typically occur. During this time, there is curiosity and increased awareness of sexuality that is generally associated with masturbation and self-sexual exploration.

Question 8

how much should a 13 year old boy that is 5'2 weigh?

Accepted Answer

85-119 lbs: Using a body mass index (bmi) percentile from the 5th-85th percentile as healthy (defined by cdc), a 13 year old boy who is 5 ft 2 in tall would have a healthy weight of between 85 and 119 pounds.

Question 9

can you tell me how could a 13 year old boy get six pack?

Accepted Answer

Overall fitness: You'll need to have very little body fat from diet and aerobic exercise, and also do some specific training of the abdominal muscles. This is easier to do now than at any other time in your life because of your growth spurt and increasing levels of testosterone. It would be great if dad or some other positive experienced men would be your coaches as you undertake this.

Question 10

what's the fastest way to lose weight for a 13 year old boy?

Accepted Answer

Teen age weight: The best way to loose weight is with control of diet and exercise.  For most teens the fastest way to do this is to cut out sugary beverages from their diet (soda, juice, coffee drinks, gatorade, etc).  From one 12oz sugary drink each day in addition to all the regular foods a person will gain almost 20lbs per year! cut that out and fast weight loss.  Healthy weight loss is 1-2lbs/week.
