Going to school, maintaining a job, and having a social life can get super hard for a teen to focus on their commitment to working out at the gym.  According to the annual report, The State of Obesity, 14.8 percent of high school students are obese.  This cause can be due to stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.  

Whether you have a car or not, Pridetime has come up with a solution to help the Brien McMahon senators stay active by doing simple at home workouts, along with getting the right healthy nutrition and prices.  

The first way that you can lose weight without exercising is changing your diet by eating fiber-rich foods like fruits and vegetables. Some of the benefits that you can get from eating fiber-rich foods are low blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

Here’s a list fiber-rich food you can find at your local grocery store:  

1. Pears=$1.90 per pound
2. Strawberry= $2.00 per pound
3. Green Peas= $8.96 per bag                                                                   ​

The second best way to maintain your weight is by using apple cider vinegar to its best ability.  It is one of the safest ways to lose weight because it kills many harmful bacteria in your body, it can also lower your blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

A Pridetime student has been using apple cider vinegar for four days now.  She explains the difference her body has felt before and after and the results are good.  

If you are wondering how to fit apple cider vinegar into your everyday diet, here are a few ways to incorporate it:

• Salad dressing
• Natural Juices (such as lemonade)

The last and most important way to stay committed to maintaining an appropriate body weight is by drinking lots of water.  According to HealthLine, people should drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses, which equals 2 liters, or half a gallon per day.  

It may seem unbelievable to think water can help to lose weight, however, not only is it good for you but drinking water comes with a lot of other benefits as well.  Studies show that drinking water helps boost your metabolism, cleanse your body, and acts as an appetite suppressant.

If these 3 ways of losing weight don’t help you, Brien McMahon's Health teacher Stephanie Peckham explains, “I think to be a healthy person and to stay in shape you need to take care of your body, exercise daily, eat healthily and take care of your mental health.”
