most dietary programs are created for adults, who have pretty stable metabolisms, and if you take the program if could hurt you in some way. I suggest just a simple 2,000 calorie diet and continue your exercise

No.
“It is not recommended that a growing teen try this diet. It is fine to reduce the intake of refined carbs, but they should still have a good balance of whole grains and healthy vegetables and fruits in the diet.
The other drawback to Atkins is the high fat content. Many people go overboard, eating bacon and eggs, steak, and other proteins high in fat because the diet “seems” to give them carte-blance to do so.
The healthiest diet for teens is one that is well-rounded nutionally with no food groups completely eliminated. This way you can ensure the nutrition touneeds to continue to develop physically and mentally.”
A safer way to lose weight is by eating sensibly and exercising.
