I'm wondering how to lose those last fifteen pounds, i mean i'm honestly in really good shape, but i still have about fifteen pounds until, i think i'de be my ideal shape. I workout five times a week + mostly consistening of weight training i'm 5'11 weight about 185 pounds, and i'm sixteen years old, and i was wondering if somebody could tell me a diet, to lose weight not really a diet more like a guideline, i'de go insane going on a diet. just what to avoid and what to eat. thanks

I'd say, don't diet, eat healthy but not a "diet", diets by nature are a change in eating habits that you stop after a while, and thats when all the weight comes back.

My advice, just start running/cycling/swimming/rowing it might take longer, but the weight lost will stay off. and it'll build stronger muscles.

i agree with the previous poster.. i like (for those that read my posts regularly skip this part)

I like Dr. *******'s picture perfect weight loss its eating less calories but not less food! AND there are no rules, no musts, no can't have, no counting anything and it works!!! really fast for some people , slower for me but i am happy for more info do a search on Dr *******, firemen you will find transcripts of a Tv news show that featured him and his work.

Have a Great Day

If you are lifting a lot and want to drop some fat, you might try cutting some carbs and upping your protein to keep the muscle mass you have while getting cut. Even a relatively small shift can make a difference. Avoid french fries and pizza (I know, the "all american staples"), anything with a lot of grease or high in simple carbs. If you drink soda, just eliminating that will do wonders. And it's not as hard as it sounds.

I'd also recommend throwing in a little cardio. Maybe run, jog, swim, bike, play basketball... anything to keep the heart rate up for a while, just a couple times a week.
