Teen Weight Loss Diets Because teens and preteens are still growing, it's really important that any diet plan they follow cover their nutritional needs for good growth. Weight Loss Diets for adults are not designed to meet those needs, especially "crash" diets, diet pills, and diets that have you eat very limited types of foods! What's recommended for people under the age of 18? What is recommended for people under the age of 18 is that they follow an eating plan for maintaining their weight, and follow a program that increases their physical activity rather than just cutting back a lot on calories. This will help them become a better "calorie burner" as well, and this will help to ensure that they get their nutritional needs met while they reduce body fat and build muscle.  Look for a weight maintenance diet If you're child needs to lose weight buy a weight maintenance diet: Weight Maintenance Diets.   After clicking the link listed you will access our diet profile and a diet survey.  Fill out the diet survey for your child as best you can and be sure to designate that the diet for your child is for weight maintenance only.  Please note we do not provide weight loss diets for minors - purchases therefore must be made by a family member 18 years or older.  Once purchased, your child's PersonalDiets plans will be completed within 2-3 business days and published online for convenient access for you and your child to utilize.
