Easy Weight Loss For Teens – 5 Weight Loss Tips For Teenagers

Posted on by

The best time to learn to live a healthy lifestyle is now in your teen years. Your teen years are the easiest time to lose unwanted weight and learn how to keep it off. I will show you some easy weight loss for teens tips that you can use for life to stay fit and trim.

I know how hard it is to lose weight but as a teenager it is easier to lose weight now rather than later in life. The older you get the harder it is to lose weight. Your metabolism slows down the older you get leaving you gaining weight if you do not learn to live a healthy lifestyle.

The first weight loss tip for teenagers is to get off the video games, computer, couch, and stop starring at the TV screen. You need to get up and get busy. Play sports or go for a walk around town with friends. Do anything that gets you up moving. Playing Wii or Kinect is OK if you are actively moving and getting your heart rate up.

The second tip for teenagers is to put down the sugary drinks. This includes Kool-Aid, soda, fruit drinks, and sports drinks. Drink more water than anything. Even diet soda is not good for you and does aid in losing weight. Add some lemon to your water if you need some flavor. You need to have your daily supply of milk but make sure it is 1% milk or nonfat skim milk.

The third weight loss tip for teens is to stop eating fast food, chips, sweets, candy, anything that is high in fat and calories. If you need something sweet try a flavored yogurt. I know that teens love all these foods but they are not good for you and you can do without. Try hitting up Subway instead of the burger shop.

The fourth tip for teens is stop eating when you are not hungry. Adult and teens alike enjoy eating while they are bored or because others are eating. If you are not hungry then do not eat.

The fifth weight loss tip for teens is to eat less. I know that this is easier said than done, I get that, but taking it day by day will make it easier. Reduce your food intake a little bit every day rather than all at once if this is easier for you. In a week or two you should be eating a lot less than you are today.

Follow these 5 weight loss tips for teenagers and you will see a change in your weight. The sooner you start exercising, drinking more water, and eating less more nutritious foods the sooner you will begin to loss the weight.

10 Tips for Writing Better Poetry

Posted on by

Have you ever had trouble with writing great poetry? Are you looking to develop your craft, and become better at what you write? These ten tips can help you on the road to getting the results you want.

Tip #1.) Remember, everyone is different. Your poetry, or creative work will be different from everyone else’s. Don’t be too critical with your work, and try to avoid comparing yourself.

Tip #2.) Be honest with yourself. Do you have the ability to write great poetry? Some people are just born creative. It is completely OK to not be the next Shakespeare. If you need help in determining this, grab a buddy that you know will be honest with you, or a group of buddies.

Tip #3.) Now that see where you stand, you can hone the style that YOU have, and not styles that others have. You can develop your own hooks or styles that uniquely sets you apart from others. Say you have a way you like to express certain words. You can write that way. You could misspell words to make it edgy. Whatever you can come up with to set you apart, and not be another follower, will help you be better. Different is always better in my opinion.

Tip#4.) Write about what you are able to write about. Some people hit the bull’s-eye with writing fiction, while others are pros at non-fiction. Some people are born with left brains, and some with right brains. Yes, I do believe you can pump your right brain up with some practice, but I’d say: STICK WITH YOUR STRENGTHS! If you are left brained, figure out what left brained people are best at writing, then do that.

Tip#5.) If you are attempting to be more creative, and you have determined you have a creative mind, now we can start doing things that help to bring your creative side out more. Practice coming up with scenarios, start dreaming. Get your head in the clouds a little bit. Write down short stories, or whatever you can to get in your groove.

Tip#6.) Modify existing styles of poetry, or create your own structures of poetry. You could mix styles too!

Tip#7.) Join an online poetry website that has classes, or a body that can critique your work. I’d be careful with this one though. Yes, on one hand, people can give you great tips, however, realize that they are speaking to you from their perspective as well, and may not like your style. Some people, and some styles just do not mix well. If you get a bad review, look at their work. You may not like theirs!

Tip#8.) I’m really big on finding, and working on strengths. If you can tell a story with your poetry, do that. If you are good at teaching, maybe an informative poem might be a good idea to write. There are all different types out there, anywhere from Christian to poems from aliens from Mars. (I bet if I looked that up online, I’d probably find it LOL.) Find your niche.

Tip#9.) Find yourself an environment conductive to the style of poetry you are writing. If you are wanting to write a peaceful piece, go somewhere you can get in the zone, and become peaceful. Prepare yourself for your piece, and get in optimal surroundings.

Tip#10.) If all of these tips didn’t help flush things out, and steer you in the right direction, keep searching for ways to improve your craft from any other source you can. Talk with friends, teachers, look online and do all you can to grow. Attend seminars, and practice, practice, practice! You can do it!!
