You are 15, 105 pounds and your nutritionist has you losing because you are 'fat'?

Firstly - you are underweight. Focus on gaining the 8 pounds and, provided most of it is lean tissue, your BF% will go down.

Secondly - At 15 yrs you do not need to be 'dieting' at all. You need to focus on eating a healthy variety of foods that will give you all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients that your growing body requires.

Thirdly - You Especially don't need to follow a 'low fat diet'! Low fat diets DO NOT work! This type of thinking is following all those modern day myths of nutrition. Fats are REQUIRED for health!

Jodie's thread "A guide to..." is an excellent place to start for nutrition information. I have also written some information here to some other people who were looking to start out.

1. fire your nutritionist
2. train hard eat good and read the training and nutrition rooms
