Forget about fast. Losing weight fast is the wrong way to lose weight at any age. Most people simply can’t lose weight fast. You might actually be one of the few people who can, but people who do manage to lose weight fast almost always gain it all back within a year. Almost always!So let’s restate the question: How can a 13-year-old boy who’s 260lbs lose weight effectively? By asking your parent or guardian to call your physician and make an appointment for you to discuss it and set up a plan. If that’s not possible, then go into the health office at your school and talk to the nurse. Those are the only two ways you should even consider trying to lose weight.It’s good that you’re concerned about your weight. It really is! But you’re asking strangers on the internet for advice about your health and fitness. That is a really, really, really bad idea for a 13-year-old.First of all, it’s just not safe, for about a million reasons.But more to the point: You can’t trust an opinion about your weight from a stranger who can’t examine you, measure you, and look at your growth history and your personal and family medical histories.If I were giving you advice myself instead of telling you to talk to your doctor, how would you know you can trust me? Someone else could just as easily give you very, very different advice. That happens all the time here on Quora. There’s an awful lot of very bad advice about weight loss here. There’s some good advice, too, but how would you know the good advice from the bad?And here’s the most important thing for you to know: Teenagers are different from adults. You’re still growing and maturing, and losing weight at the same time that you’re doing that can cause problems. If it does, the result will be that you end up going through the rest of your life with a body that will never reach its full adult potential. A lot of the people who answer questions about weight loss here on Quora don’t take that into account, so not only is there a lot of bad advice about weight loss here, much of that advice is very, very bad for teens!
