iv tryed everything !!! what should i eat that will help me lose weight!!! immma fat Teen and im sick of it!! im never going to be happy with myself intill i get that flat Belly!!!

I usually exercise, as in run and do free weights, but I haven't been able to lately. So I don't need to keep eating the way I do, at least until I can exercise again. What are some healthy foods and what are some foods to avoid?Some foods are obvious, but some aren't because of how things are processed and packaged these days. Also what is the healthiest way to cook the food mentioned. Because sometimes it is just about how it is cooked, not what it is. Don't talk about being vegetarian or vegan or any of that crap. Humans eat both meat and plants. Also 'real' food not imitation food. Thanks.

I am going to trying to bake some vegan, diabetic friendly carob-chip cookies for a library event, and am not sure about what sweetener to use. I have heard splenda can work well, but that it is not necessarily safe for consumption. I have also heard that lowering the amount of sugar works, and of course will be doing that, though I do not know how well that will work in my gf recipes. Normally I use maple syrup, honey, and am thinking of trying agave nectar. If you are diabetic or bake food for people who are, your advice would be much appreciated. Miz Lamb, have you ever eaten gluten free baked goods? GF food is often positively disgusting, gritty and full of unfortunately unforgettable flavors. Hence why I also don't want to subject anyone else with diet restrictions to really bad food if I can help it. I was asking here because I was under a time-restriction to have a list of ingredients made, and I figured if I couldn't find what I needed on my own, I'd come here. Fail on the snark. But thank you for the information about carbs and a more well-rounded approach. I'll keep that in mind.

I'm 5'11" and I weight about 160 pounds. I love everything about my body EXCEPT the lower belly bulge. I've been on a diet where I only drink water eat 3 meals a day with snacking in between.. like celery and things such as that for about 2 weeks now. I am going to start running/jogging everyday with a friend and I hear cardio is the best thing for weight loss. Now, what are some good belly exercises for me to lose this weight before summer.. I guess I'd like to lose about 10 pounds in the process. I'm female.. btw. and I have an ab lounger ultra and a bicycle machine. So, give me these ab workouts and do you think I can do this before summer?
