Gymnast Off-Season Diet Plan: Build Muscle & Lose Weight (15 Years Old)

Question
First let me say I am 15 years old. I just started gymnastics for the first time ever in November. Our season is over now and I am planning to take off season training to get much better. I was not able to do a pullover the entire season. A couple girls told me it was because i weighted too much. I know this is true and i am wondering if you could help me plan a diet that will help me build muscle and lose the weight before i start my offseason training. I weight about 145. That's so much. If you could help me i would really appreciate it!

Hi Yasmine,

Here's my motto:

When you get what you need from what you eat, you don't overeat. When you eat empty food, you can't stop eating.

You want whole grains, fresh produce and a little protein. LOTS of plain water - no sodas, no "juice drinks". Absolutely NO refined sugar or refined flour. Pack a snack of raw nuts, dried fruit without additives.
