Question

Sue is 17 years old and believes she is overweight. Which would be the best strategy for maintaining her health?

Answer 1

Sue should have a well nutritionally balanced meal, and a caloric deficit of 20% from her regular daily caloric intake if she wants to lose fat. Prioritize strength training rather than cardio despite the false common belief that cardio is the best way to go in losing fat.

Let Sue slowly build a habit that she likes and can maintain and consider a lifestyle that she can live with.

Answer 2

here are the answer choices associated with this problem:

analyze her weight with available tools and a doctor's advice, then adjust her diet and activity level.

lower her daily caloric intake to 1,800 and get lots of physical exercise every day, especially while she is young.

cut out fat and carbohydrates from her diet and take up a rigorous swimming training regimen.

Answer 3

Im sorry but this is a misconception. DO NOT cut out fat and carbohydrates in her diet, carbohydrates are essential in performing Physical activities and is a source of energy in general, carbohydrates won't make you fat but an excess of carbohydrates will(anything that is excess is bad for you)

Fat WILL NOT make you fat, if anything it helps you lose fat especially if it is Mono and Polysaturated fat such as those coming from Salmon, Avocado, Olives etc. (Also known as 'good fat')

Also, the reason why I said a 20% caloric deficit instead of a specific number of calories is because everyone has a different normal daily caloric intake depending on their Sex, height, weight and Physical activity. "1800 calories a day" could be excessive or too little for the wrong person. If there is anything you should be cutting from your diet it should be Sugar(Use apps such as MyFitnessPal to find out about your intake needs)

Trust me on this one, if your goal is to lose fat your priority when it comes to training should be
1. Strength training(weights)
2. Cardio

No, it will not make you "accidentally bulky" if bulking up is not your goal. It is your way to a well toned and fit body.

If anyone is doubtful about anything that I have mentioned, you could do a simple search and source check on Google, make sure your source is legit and do your research properly.

I have seen alot of these type of false information getting passed around and I hate seeing people following these and ending up failing and being depressed.
