Health Food: How can I get in shape without eating SO much health food

How can I get in shape without eating SO much health food?
I'm 13 years old, and I really want to get in better shape. But I can't eat a lot of healthy food. My mom refuses to by healthy food. She says it's too expensive. She makes healthy things for dinner but I have to have cereal for breakfast and just a sandwich for lunch. I can't go all out on the fruits a vegetables. So how can I get in shape?? All you fucking diet pill spammers will be reported

Check out youtube for good cardio exercises. Just be more active everyday and plan out how much you will eat so you don't overeat

what your doin right now is good dont worry so much about what to eat. You should worry about exercise. I eat fast food everyday but i also exercise everyday 2 hours 7 days a week and i have the body that ive always wanted without those crazy diets. just balance it and youll be fine

Watch your portion sizes... I have gone completely vegetarian for over a year, actually gained weight, 2 months back eating crap, ie fast food and barely any fruits and vegetables, I've lost 7 pounds pretty much doing nothing ALL because I watch how much I eat, don't eat the fried foods and drink lots of water instead of juice or sodas... all those contain are empty calories! Instead of kids cereals try Multi Grain Cheerios, Honey Bunches of Oats, or any of the Total products.

I don't eat healthy foods either, but I jog around the block 4 times a day, and do 10 pushups (2-3 times a day) and as much situps as I can do using the bottom of my bed. Easiest workout

Skipping breakfast is really the WRONG answer!!! Getting into shape is more than just diet. It's fitness. How "out of shape" are you? So many teens think they are out of shape when in fact, there is nothing wrong with them. Healthy food is really a great start, but because your mother is a lot like mine, you don't always have than option. So...one thing you can do is have the cereal for breakfast, that's fine. Most cereals aren't as bad as you think. If you can get mom to start buying Cheerios or corn flakes, rice crispies and that sort of thing, then that's an AWESOME start. You can even have cereal for 2 meals. Sandwiches are ok for lunch at school too...as long as you don't have a whole lot of fluff with your pbj, you'll be ok. One of the most important things to remember though is to stay active. Go for a nice long walk after dinner, shoot hoops with your friends, dance in your room, that sort of thing. Good luck...

Although your mom can't always buy the healthiest foods, there are little things that can help without advancing the cost of things. Have your mom buy a whole grain or healthy cereal with no added sugars or flour and fiber is a plus. What kind of bread are your sandwiches made with? If it is white, ask her to buy wheat bread instead. It is much better for you and way more nutritious; anything "white" or made with white flour isn't very good. The rest will be common sense... try not to eat things with a lot of sugar and fat such as cookies/ice cream or processed foods. Beyond that, exercise is your very best friend. Even if you can't have a perfectly healthy diet, staying active is the best way to keep you in shape. It builds muscle, which naturally speeds up your metabolism and helps you burn off fat and extra calories. Try to aim for at least 30 minutes a day, whether it's jogging or swimming or riding a bike.

I don't know if your a guy or a girl I think girl but Ill say how i got in shape as a guy. I was flabby and couldnt do 10 pushups less than a year ago. Now I have a 6-pack, can bench my body weight, do 60+ pushups, and 20+ pull ups. I'm 16 now started when i was 15. Honestly the easiest way to get in shape is to do a sport/work out with friends. Running gets you in shape and at most schools its a social sport so get some friends to do it with you. My diet consists of cereal, sandwiches, eggs, and other for dinner when dad cooks. Eggs are good for snacks or meals. Just scrambled in a pan with cheese and ham. Don't use slice cheese it tastes like crap. 60 calories an egg. 20 if you just use egg whites but that's a waste of food. Do be afraid to snack a little but i used to have a problem with binge eating. For things other than running do sit ups, crunches, and push ups. Do them on your knees if you cant do real push ups. I hope it helps.
