Yes, there are routines and they are called diets. A simple regimen of cutting down the amount of food you consume and increasing your physical activity will do the trick. Not eating can lead to many harmful effects on the body such as lack of proper nutrition, gall stones, diabetes, low blood sugar, etc. Eat every meal but avoid in between meal snacks. Eat sensibly...vegetables, lean means, fruits, etc., in smaller quantities. Actually, it's best to eat five or six small meals a day but that may not be practical if you're in school. Be sure to drink lots of water, at least six to eight glasses a day...or more if you can. Be sure to get plenty of exercise. Fast walking to begin with, then later on a nice ten minute run each day...increased to 20 minutes over time. There are also some exercises you can do in place such as jumping jacks, sit ups, etc. The school coach may be able to suggest some for you.
Meanwhile, stop what you've been doing. Not eating is very dangerous and can lead to gorging yourself with food later on and a sudden jump in your weight, eventually to a weight greater than you started with. Don't do this. Proper diet and exercise is a lifetime thing. You can look good and get enough to eat as well. Being overweight is JUST a sign you are eating too much food for your body to use up on a daily basis...and often too much of the wrong foods. Avoid ice cream, candy, cookie, and other sweets. Eat carbs like bread, potatoes, etc. but eat them in much smaller quantities. Carbohydrates are taken into the body, converted to sugar and eventually become fat if you don't burn them up. Be sure to exercise vigorously.
I recommend that you see your doctor for a thorough examination prior to beginning you exercise program. Also, tell him about this starvation diet you're on. He'll croak when he hears about it.
