Help lossing ten pounds soon

Question
Hello , I am here to ask about how to loss 10 pounds without starving... and being extremly cranky lol. I am 5.4 in height 16 years old and 145 pounds and have meduim/large bone stamina(only "dumpy" child out of five lol). I have the extra weight around my lower belly and thighs and would like to take away my "pilsbury dough boy" roll and have my thighs thinner. I recinitly got an exercise bike from sears its a free spirit... works great but I seem to get sore legs when I use it(I put it on 2 or 3 and pedel relitivly slow)... is there a way to make my legs not get sore from doing this? I walk my two dogs daily... one by one(i've got two) and walk to the shops near by at the very lest every two days(sometimes twice a day), I don't like just sitting around. I hav dieted on and off for almost a year now... its getting anoying... when I come off the diets I eat too much and then in two weeks am over weight again and start over only to have history repete itself over and over. When I diet normaly I crach diet... 600/800 calroies a day, Slim & Trim diet pills(no enfedimen... only herbl green tea extract and gensing root... too boost matablizem), I also normaly do hundreds of sit ups a day during these crash diets and tons of light weight lifting arm curls/extream dance sesions and run with my dogs instead of walking them... it was its flaws.. I get very Sore, Crabby, irritable... snappy with other people and some times am very tired and rest when not doing my exercises... don't get me wrong these diets work but I hat ehtey way I act when I'm on there(hateful towards other...extremly). I want to lose the ten pounds because I'd like to fit better into my old pants and not feel so bad when I look at how wide my legs are at the thigh and not have to see that belly roll, I am hoping you can help me... I really don't want to go on a crash diet again and hgope to lose this weight very soon, I look forward to hearing from you,

Ps; I could also use advice on how to maintain the weight I'm at after the diet,

Tara.

Answer
Hi Tara,

Thinking that your diets "work" is a misconception.

Crash diets just lower your metabolism. Your "inner manager" doesn't have windows in the office, can't see that you are surrounded with food, just what is coming in. When what comes in suddenly is a lot less, your I.M. just figures locusts have hit the crops, a famine has hit, better start storing, not burning fat. Dump the calorie counting, focus on the quality of what you eat and the quantity will take care of itself. You/any Body over eats when you eat empty stuff. see http://www.premiumfuel.com for the details on eating/metabolism, Real Food vs. Flavored Packing Material. And dump the pills, guarantee backfire.

Drink lots of plain water, esp. before the bike - what you describe reads like chronic dehydration. Use it to get to breathing hard, slowly build up muscles. It is just fine to do it for a couple of minutes, a couple times a day.

30 minutes A WEEK of resistance training is THE most effective way to build muscles. 5 minutes per each of 6 muscle groups - 5 sits ups that take a minute a piece, forget this hundred a day stuff. more at http://www.premiumfuel.com

p.s. I get hundreds of letters describing the same thing, you have a talent for writing, it was a pleasure to read. Specific enough to create images, humourous.
