Is this starving?

Breakfast: Bread+ Organic Peanut Butter + Water.

Lunch: Some fruit + Water

Dinner: Small Portion of Meat + Some Bread or Rice + Water

Is this a good diet, or will I starve to death? I'm 168 lbs, 5 feet 8 inches. 15 yo

I look like diarrhea so I need to lose this FAST like 2-3 months, but realistically less than a year at most.

You don't need a starvation diet. Get off the couch more.

Thanks for the book reference, I know I have to exercise too, but exercising is just a plus to a diet.
I guess I can add a few things to the menu.

thx

No. You need to get these thoughts out of your head at your age.

No diet is good for everyone we all have different nutritional requirements. Start training properly. And increase your protein intake cus it looks like your getting about 60gs at the moment.


Will you starve to death? No but you won't be able to build any size or strength and you'll just end up skinny fat.

I really need a personalized diet plan, I have no idea where to get it

No you don't.
Eat the food your mom gives you.

[Lazerdragons]

Wtf OP, are you eating like less than 1000 calories? Why are tou cutting calories so low at 14, it can really mess up your hormones n stuff

[GettyGetSome]

No snacking in between any of those meals?

Seems odd you are that weight at that height while eating what presumably seems to be less than 1k calories per day. Or is it a new diet you're trying out? (in that case it is way too harsh, you should be eating between 2-3k calories per day depending on your activity level)

You won't starve to death assuming you have enough fat stores to sustain life throughout the diet, however it's not a good diet and you might wind up stunting your growth (both muscularity and physical development), and you could be well on your way to an eating disorder (which is also not a fun recovery).

Your weight at your height is not obese and some would argue not overweight at all. It's on the high end of normal BMI. You might be overfat, and that is best addressed with exercise. Your best bet is to eat a balanced, healthy diet and exercise is going to be the key in changing your body's composition. You said exercise is just a plus to a diet (in your case a crash diet), but I would say you have that backwards. A good diet is a plus to a consistent exercise routine.

If you want to tweak that diet of yours, first you should be drinking water all day long not just at mealtime. Second, I don't see much value in adding a piece of bread to your meal--try a protein shake instead. Third, don't deprive yourself of the nutrients necessary for growth. Cut the fast food/pizza/junk food and make sure everything you put into your body has a purpose and isn't just loaded with fat and sugar.

Pizza is tomatoes, cheese, meats, veggies, and wheat (bread). Bad pizza! Bad!

Pakistani cuisine? Yea that'll get me in shape

Idk, I used this online calorie loss calculator and it said if I want to lose 2 pounds a week (which is VERY steady) I have to consume 1300ish calories

Thanks for all that info. Protein shake sounds like a good way to get nutrients + not gain fat from it. Plus i'll try adding more meats and veggies
to the diet

[ahmedc786]

BTW I play basketball for half hour everyday

[Henchmandan]

Fat gain is calories in vs calories out. Pizza or protein shakes it doesn't matter

That may be true, but it's not the whole story. If you decided to consume your entire daily caloric allotment in alcohol, for example, and your intake didn't exceed your daily expenditure, you may not gain weight. But you would die in short order. You have to take into account the quality of the energy you are putting into your body.

I have been surviving on that. Never had a problem.

lmao.

[ErikTheElectric]

Eat a little less each day until you are in a calorie deficit. DONT GO OVERBOARD or you can mess yourself up.

Please refrain from giving any further advice.

[MBoux2000]

I respect Brent's advice. He may be younger than us but he is doing a pretty good job. Nobody's advice is " flawless "and on the internet you'll get a whole ton of different opinions. Believe me, I have over 38,000 followers on ******** and sometimes people say rude and hurtful things to me, but most of the time everyone is great. Brent is correct in saying that if you want to lose weight you should be in a small caloric deficit, but nothing nearly as low as 1000. Although I'm not convinced the OP needs to lose weight since I'm an inch taller than him and the same weight. It depends on his body composition though.

[Artic1]

No you don't.

[MBoux2000]

Thank you.

Erik is against counting calories and cutting during teenage years due to his experiences of anorexia. In a sense, he is right. Someone who cuts out to many calories will ruin their lives and hormones. I don't condone reducing that many calories at all.


But he was wrong by being rude about it. Perhaps he misunderstood what I said. If he could've corrected me and answered OP in a nice manner, it would benefit everyone.

no problem man. Keep up the good work. I'm always happy to help a friend.

[ErikTheElectric]

How about giving OP advice instead of being rude?

All I said is be in a small calorie deficit. Other people have already told him that 1,000 calories is too low.

16 year old teenagers do not need to be in a calorie deficit. Again, please think before posting things like this.

[claimyourgains]

Bro you dont wanna **** up your hormones at this age believe it bro all a starvation diet do will lead you to be skinny fat and have ****ed up hormones. Eat clean with adequate protein and balance between lifting and cardio. We still growing brah.

[ahmedc786]

Sorry for the necro bump guys, but I dont think i messed up my hormones, as I never went through with this diet, I just kinda ate alot over the next 1-2 years. Im safe and healthyish, thanks for asking.

You are just 16, at your age you are still growing. Thus, you can eat a lot more than, say a 24 year old. If you are weightlifting, then you need a lot of protein. But that is not all, since you are just 16, I am assuming you are not bulking or cutting. Therefore, I would recommend eating a lot of carbs. You can have fat in your diet. There is nothing wrong with fat, in fact your body needs it. However, every time you eat something, take a look at the label and take a mental note of what you are consuming. Sugars are the biggest problem. This you need to limit in your diet. Try not to drink soda, eat cakes or anything that has a surplus of sugar.
