What is the fastest way for teens to lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weight loss: weight loss for teens should be done slow and steady. "Quick" weight loss is not healthy and often leads to rebound weight gain. Starting with a healthy lifestyle (proper diet, avoiding sugars/sweets; exercise at least 5 days per week; getting adequate sleep). Set weekly goals and aim for 1 lb of weight loss each week.
