Answer:
Yes, follow the same guidelines as adults. Try not to deprive yourself of food either. Set weekly goals that are attainable and in three months, it shouldn't be a problem.

It should be the same as adults. Just don't starve yourself, your bones are still developing.

Quit drinking sodas, drink more water, quit eating sugar, and exercise daily

You can get away with following the same guidelines that adults SHOULD follow, and I don't mean fad diets.Stop drinking sodas, even diet sodas. Try to drink 8 to 10 8oz. glasses of water a day.Eat smaller portions and try to get a good mix of carbs, protein and fat.
