Hello, I'm 12 years old trying to lose weight! I'm 170 pounds, even though it's embarrassing to share.. I'm not doing this because I'm bring bullied by it, I'm doing it because I know it probably isn't healthy for my age. I'm making sure not to overwhelm myself by doing too much exercise. Today is my first day! And I'm doing this during school, so I usually start working out after school and dinner. But, the only things I struggle with are food. I get crazy cravings and my mom sometimes makes or buys unprocessed food while knowing I'm in a diet. If anyone could share any easy recepies to make, that would be helpful! Tysm for reading this 💓 (edited by moderator)

Hey little queen! You're on the brink of your teens so congratulations on taking care of health so early! My weight fluctuated throughout 12-20 - because of hormones. Please keep that in mind and be patient with yourself. You're in prime growing years so your body might require a bit more. Have you ever tried tortilla pizza? Flour wrap, tomato paste on top, cheese and spinach or chicken topping. Pop in the oven on a baking sheet at 375 degrees until cheese is melted and the edges look crisp.

Hi!
First, POWER TO YA! That is not embarrassing at all, it is actually AWESOME! I am so glad that you’ve found your way to the Chloe Ting community, it’s amazing here and I hope you’ll stick around!
There’s lots you can do! I understand that your parents are most likely the ones doing the grocery shopping so it can be hard to get what you truly want. Maybe these will spark some ideas to add to their grocery list, or some ideas for what you can already do.
1- Fat Free Greek yogurt and microwaved frozen blueberries or raspberries. Take some frozen blueberries or raspberries, pop that in the microwave in and smash it a bit when it comes out. It turns into basically a homemade syrup/jam! I like to add cinnamon to my microwaved blueberries. I’m just suggesting Greek Yogurt here (DO NOT MICROWAVE THE YOGURT LOL) because it’s such an easy source of protein that literally requires nothing but taking it out of your refrigerator. The microwaved blueberries are also really good on top of protein pancakes.
2- egg whites or eggs in general. Carton egg whites literally require nothing but microwaving in a bowl. And like the other commentors said, eggs are pretty easy, scrambled eggs are easy too.
3- spinach and salads. I personally love spinach because you can eat it raw in salads and whatnot, but you can also microwave a portion for less than a minute and it is cooked. I like to top microwaved spinach with leftover cooked meat (think ground meat, like taco meat!), or serve by itself with garlic/seasoning or with balsamic reduction. And like the other commentors in this thread suggested, salads are so easy to make and require no cooking. The thing about salads is that you can make them filling by ensuring that you add plenty of protein, and some carb and healthy fat (healthy fat is usually in the dressing, nuts you put on the salad, or the cheese on the salad). Be mindful of the type of dressing you are using, that is where salads can become “less healthy”.
4- Deli meat. So easy. Great to snack on. I actually like to take some thinly chopped carrot sticks and wrap the deli meat around it.
5- Steamed veggies, frozen veggies. Frozen veggies are great since they were refrigerated at their ripeness, they keep for so long in your freezer. they are affordable so your parents will probably be okay with it, also you don’t have to deal with cutting them up. I always keep a bag of frozen veggies and fully cooked chicken in my freezer, which turns into a really easy microwave meal with plenty of seasoning.
6- Rice and potatoes. Super cheap. Easy and quick carb sources. People say to be cautious with the rice for it’s higher energy content per serving, but in the right portion sizes it’s actually a helpful carb source because it refridgerates so well for leftovers.
7- rices cauliflower. Honestly, cauliflower tastes like nothing to me which makes it so easy to add flavor and to also “bulk up” a meal.
I have so many more ideas, lol!

I forgot more! LOL!
Oats! Oats are so easy! They can literally be built into a full meal in many different ways!
- You can microwave single portions with some veggies and protein powder/egg whites.
- you can make several breakfasts in one go by making “protein baked oats” (literally just look up that term).
- you can make overnight oats (also look into overnight chia pudding, I believe chloe has recipes too)
And hey, here are some guidelines that will help you to build a plate of food. (I say “guidelines” because they’re just a recommended starting point!)
- aim for at least a fist sized amount of protein. :)
When building an actual plate:
- fill half with veggies
- fill a quarter of it with protein
- fill the last quarter with healthy complex carbs
- a thumbfull of fat (often is already woven throughout the dish, like the oil food was cooked in, or the oil in your dressing, or the oil in things like nuts).

Hi! I’m 14 years old and I’m currently overweight at 201 pounds I started my fitness journey in 2020. I lost almost 50 pounds. And the easiest recipe I eat almost every day is boiled eggs and avocado toast, I usually drink water after it but other times I drink vitamins. Lunch I usually eat in school and they usually serve sandwiches so I eat that. When I get home I usually eat chicken or protein with some liquid chlorophyll (helps with acne and weight loss etc) not much info but hope this helps. 😚

Yo can make salad rich in protein and fibre. Take 1cup soaked beans then steam, it add chopped cucumber, chopped tomato,beetroot, onion ,green chili,pink salt,black pepper powder. Add half lemon if you want, this is best for weight loss I think you can take it replace beans with black chickpea,white chickpea, lobia or any other legumes soaked and steamed if you want
Second you can make oats by just adding some veggies in oats
Or just steam veggies and have it with pink salk and black pepper powder
you can add green tea is your diet and In winter season I would say this is the perfect time to loose your weight
