What is the proper nutrition and diet I should go on to "tone up" not "lose weight"?
I am 14, I am not really harsh to my self about my body, I love myself, But I have been wanting to tone up for a while now, tone up but not lose weight, I have a gym and fruits and vegies, everything, but what diet should I be going on?
What nutrition should I be getitng??
At age 14 I don’t think you need to be too picky yet about your diet. You’re body is going through many changes that requires good nutrition. I think it’s a good idea to eat as much fruit & vegetables as you can, but don’t cut out dairy & whole grains. Start drinking skim milk if you can, eat yogurt, & eat whole wheat toast. Also, if you’re already out of that "fruit loop, cocoa puff" stage then I suggest eating Special K cereal. I especially like the fruit & yogurt flavor. Try it you’ll like it 
And don’t cut out lean protein either, eat plenty of chicken, tuna, & healthy cooked fish. You might want to check with your parents first before starting your diet, because they may not be in tune with your new found diet plan. Maybe you can integrate (introduce) healthy eating habits among your family.
Exercise is a good way to tone up your body. Have you ever thought about gymnastics? I know at that age I was well into gymnastics & it definitely helped my physique. You can also jump rope, that is a very good work out & easy too. You can maybe even buy one of those mini trampolines, same kinda workout. But it works, trust me! You’re smart to start taking care of your body now. I hope this helped, good luck!

Don’t diet…just get plenty of exercise…the key is exercise and portion control…you can eat what ever you want…especially at 14 just don’t over do it. As for the exercise do something fun like softball or take a class at the local gym…those can be alot of fun.

My girlfriend who was a fitness trainer, said the easiest way to just keep fit is don’t eat white bread, white pasta, white potatoes, white rice, candy, ice cream, cookies ( anything loaded with sugar spikes your blood sugar level ) drinks lots of water,and lo fat milk. Eat 6 smaller meals a day rather then 3 big ones and it keeps your metabolism more steady thru out the day.
I was so glad you said you love yourself, that is delightful to hear from a teen girl~~~ YOU ROCK !!!!!!!!!!
