I am always hungry. Why?
Many Thanks for your question.
It is more than likely that you are always feel hungry at the moment because of puberty and you are growing at a very fast pace.
Try to keep a healthy balanced diet by ensuring you have regular means (3 meals a day, morning, afternoon and evening).
Eating foods from all of the food groups (grains, fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy proteins and healthy fats) each day Balancing good foods with other foods, such as sweets and fast foods Eating when hungry and stopping when you are full For more information on healthy eating visit www.nhs.uk/change4life.
If you are concerned that although you are eating much more than you normally do you seem to be loosing weight make an appointment to see your GP or come and see us at CHYPS Plus.
I want to lose weight because I'm getting tired of being fat, but for some reason i cant stop eating a lot.
The first thing to establish is whether you are actually overweight or not. You can do this by attending CHYPS Plus or GP surgery, or using a website that calculates BMI (I recommend the NHS Choices one http://www.nhs.uk/Tools/Pages/Healthyweightcalculator.aspx).
If you are overweight it would be good to see a dietician or nurse who can talk about your diet and exercise. If you are not overweight, it doesn’t matter how much you eat, but what you eat that you need to think about for good health. For example eat from all food groups, have lots of fruit and veg, have little refined sugar and fizzy drinks (see our website for more info) - a dietician can help you with that too.
You may be missing a particular nutrient that is affecting your vision; and poor concentration may be due to lack of energy if you have restricted your food intake.
The best diet is three to four healthy meals a day. These meals should represent all the food groups and be moderate amounts. Water and juice to drink.
If you wish to lose weight it is best to do this working with an expert such as a dietician (we have a dietician here at CHYPS Plus) or with a recognised organisation such as Weight Watchers. This way you will learn healthy habits that will lead to a healthy weight for life.
Healthy eating is a way of balancing the food you eat to keep your body strong, energised, and well nourished.
Look at the eatwell plate to see what proportions of each type of food you should try and eat at each meal:
Remember, there's no good or bad food - it's the balance that counts!
