A member asked:

I am only 16 years old, 5'5" and i weight roughly 217 lbs. what's a good diet plan to follow to lose weight?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See ped, dietitian: You do not want to lose too much weight at this age, you are still growing. What you want is not to gain more weight currently. I would seek out a pediatric dietitian to give you accurate calorie counts depending on your level of activity
