Calories a teen girl needs?1,600 calories or 2,300 calories or somewhere in between?
im a 15 year old 5'7 and 155 lbs girl. im trying to get to 140 within the next 2 months but so far have had no luck. the cc calorie counter given to me was 1300 but as im a teen who works out for an hour on an elliptical at 5.5 mph 6 days a week i know that i need more than that or else my metabolism will be too slow. Problem is is that im not sure how much more i need and how much more would still allow me to get to my goal. about a month ago i started on cc with a limit of 1500 and after 2 weeks i saw no results so i upped it to 2,100 calories a day(on people i know suggestion). but i still noticed no results 2 weeks later and actually had gained around 2-3 pounds. So now im just not sure what i should be eating. i wanted to lose 15 pounds in 2 months but since i wasted a month with no results a now have 2 months. Any suggestions? i really want to get at least some weight off before school starts.
ps. im also taking amitriptallyne for ibs which has a side affect of weight gain(which im sure does not help this goal). any ideas of how to combat it?
The side effects of allergy medications keep some people from using them. Natural remedies can be a great alternative, but some are more effective than others.
