Im 22 years old and i had my daughter almost 3 years ago. Im not a big person but i am alot bigger than what i was before i had her. The hardest part about losing the weight is i absolutely HATE vegetables. I tried them every single way. I just cant stand them. I only like corn, potatoes, limabeans, spinach only when its in something( i cant eat it by itself). I tried salad 300 different ways and i cant stomach it. I seem to throw it up and i dont want to be anerexic/bilemic...I just want to do this the right way. Im just looking for some advise b/c it seems the only way you can lose weight is when you eat your veggies and i cant stomach the taste of em. Please be nice tho, im very soft hearted and dont like people saying rude things even tho i know some asses out there will!! thanks for your time in advance!
Answer:

Eat less. Exercise more.

After having 4 children, how fat is too fat??
I have 4 children, all under age 5. I am 5'2" and weigh 145 pounds.
Some days I feel very fat, some days I feel good about myself.
Should I relax just because I'm a mother??
Answer:
If some days you feel good about yourself and other days you dont, could it be on the days you dont, something else might be tugging at you? For example, could you sometimes enter the world of not feeling good about yourself because you're no longer working and making a place in the world of work? Did things not go well that day? A mom of 4 little ones under five tells me you've been having babies for the last 5 years.
To weight 145 is terrific. At some point, your body will adjust and before you know, you'll get on those scales and be truly amazed at what you've accomplished. You have a lot goin' on, girl, so just hang in there. in no time, you'll want to go anywhere and everywhere because you're gonna look like a million. Just hang in there.
stop having children! this world is overpopulated enough!!
Too fat is when people cant tell your pregnant.
relax, you're basically fine. sure you could lose a few pounds but those kids will keep you busy
it all depends on what is healthy for your height as well as how you feel. yes, you're a mother, you've had four children, your body isn't going to the be same as it was before and that's something you just have to except.
im a little under 5'2" and weigh about the same as you. i've had no kids and just like you somedays im fat and sometimes im confortable. Yes. Relax. But not too much.
but you know 'so wat'? Be who you wanna be. :) %26 enjoy ur kids.
You are only 145 after 4 kids? Thank your lucky stars you dont weigh 245. Relax...
You're fine! My mom had 5 kids %26 she weighs 130, she got lucky. You could loose about 5 pounds but you're NOT fat.

After exercising, how many mins./hr(s) should i rest before i take a bath?
after exercising, how many mins./hr(s) should i rest before i take a bath? and when is the best time of a day to exercise? in the morning or at the end of the day?
Answer:
i dont think it matters when you shower/bath. the warm water should relax and somewhat massage your body, which is a good thing. i would assume its similar to stretching after a workout, which many people recommend. i usually excercise in late afternoon when im awake and my body is stretched from whatever ive been doing all day, but it all depends on what works best for you and your schedule.
i think taking a nice cool shower after a workout is refreshing and i workout like in the morning cause then i know that i wont put it till the end of the day and not do it at all
hope i helped 鈾?

After exercise, splashing cold water on face, will it reduce the calories that are being burnt?
After I am done exercising and my face is burning and sweaty from the work out, if I splash cold water on my face many times to cool down; will it reduce the amount of calories being burnt because I cooled down so quickly? (not shower, just cold water on my face).
Answer:
No. Cooling down doesn't necessarily mean physically cooling down heat-wise, it means allowing your muscles and body to rest and slow down after a work-out.
No.
nope
No it won't because water has NO calories.
No.
The heat you are emitting is the body's way of cooling you off during exercise.
It does not affect the conversion of fat to energy.
no it wont, period.
No. As long as you worked out in your target heart rate zone (60%-80% of your max heart rate - take 220 minus your age to find your max heart rate) you are burning calories.

After boiling the egg does it loose proteins?
Answer:
maybe a little, but not much. How else are you going to eat an egg besides it being cooked.
Eggs are actually quite nutritious. They are not just fat (yolk) and protein (white). In fact, they contain a wide array of essential vitamins and minerals. Here is what's in an egg...
Vitamins
A: good for the skin and growth.
D: strengthens bones by raising calcium absorption.
E: protects cells from oxidation.
B1: helps properly release energy from carbohydrates.
B2: helps release energy from protein and fat.
B6: promotes the metabolism of protein.
B12: an essential vitamin in the formation of nerve fibers and blood cells.Minerals
Iron: essential in the creation of red blood cells.
Zinc: good for enzyme stability and essential in sexual maturation.
Calcium: most important mineral in the strengthening of bones and teeth.
Iodine: controls thyroid hormones.
Selenium: like vitamin E, it protects cells from oxidation.
best type of protein If that wasn't enough, egg whites contain the purest form of protein found in whole-foods. It is so high that nutritionists use them as the standard when comparing other whole-food proteins. Their "biological value" -- a measurement used to determine how efficiently a protein is used for growth -- is 93.7. Milk, fish, beef, and rice respectively have a bio value of 84.5, 76, 74.3, and 64.
The higher the value, the better the protein is absorbed. This is why many bodybuilders include eggs in their diet. When a person eats beef, for instance, all of the protein is not necessarily absorbed and used to rebuild tissue. Protein is a complex substance, which is why bodybuilding protein supplement makers are constantly trying to refine the quality of their product and why some protein shake brands boast that their protein is made from egg whites. Having said that, each large egg contains 6.3 grams of protein.
how to eat eggs Experts advise that despite being low in saturated fat, one should not eat more than two eggs a day on a low-fat diet. Egg yolk is mainly fat, so even though it doesn't raise blood cholesterol levels, it can cause other problems if abused.
Contaminated eggs kill up to 5000 individuals each year. One egg in 10,000 is contaminated with salmonella, so you should never eat undercooked eggs, make eggnog on your own or mimic Rocky by swallowing them raw. The proper way to cook eggs depends on the type of food served. The American Egg Board advises that grills should never be set higher than 250F. Anything above that will leave the interior raw while burning the outside. If an egg has runny parts, it means it is still not cooked properly.
mmm, mmm, eggs So now you know the truth about the incredible, edible egg. Once a foe, now a friend, this mighty whole-food contains many great nutrients and isn't as bad as people once thought. A great source of protein and easy to prepare, eggs are nature's golden food... if you don't eat too much of them, that is.
Well, the proteins, I forget the term(!).
It's like congeal. The protein strands unravel (or loosen) and just stretch out just a bit. Before the heating, the protein strands were all twisted up together. After boiling, the strands stretch out and lose their conformation (shape). That is why the white changes its consistency, and the yellow of the egg, too.
The egg is still nutritious, unless you boil it way too long.
After blood pressure is stable on medicine how long do you have to stay on a very low salt diet (2000 mg daily
I have been on medicine(Norvasc) and a low salt diet (less than 2grams per day). for four months now. I am really skinny and I feel like my diet is way too restricted, any advice...I really want to enjoy eating out a little more too
Answer:
To keep it stable, you'll want to stay on a moderately low salt diet. Everybody has days where they overdo it, just don't do it daily, and keep taking your meds.
Well, since you clearly don't trust your doctor enough to ask him / her, I'll tell you that you can go back to the high salt foods now. Once you're stabilized you can start to slack off and slip back into old habits, as long as yo stay on the medication. The meds are a bit like body armor that way.

After a work out, how long can one stay in a steam bath or sauna without doing harm with one's health?
and is it safe to go to sauna and/or steam bath after a work out? let's say 5x a week?
Answer:
Recommended at no more than 20 minutes. But that often, I would only do 15. Be sure to fully hydrate yourself before AND after!
Well, I know you arent sup to stay in a hot tub for more than 15 minutes, so its probably along those lines.
No more than 15 - 20 minutes and make sure to stay hydrated.
Also, don't forget to stretch.

After 40 weight loss is hard enough - how to tell them to let me do what works for me?
I've tried the dieting but no matter what I did, I was unable to lose weight - and keep it off. I have found that if I only eat one moderate meal a day, I can lose. I've lost 40 pounds so far - which is awesome for me and it has stayed off. The people around me are freaking because they don't think I am eating enough and am starving myself. But I take breaks from this so my body doesn't go into starvation mode - where I eat what I want for a few weeks. I know it isn't the healthiest way but having the extra weight wasn't healthy either. How do I make them listen?
Answer:
Although I've never had a weight problem myself, I've been around enough close friends who've struggled with obesity all their lives to really relate to your ongoing anguish. A roller-coaster weight problem can be a VERY tricky and frustrating ordeal. Worst yet, there is currently a cruel joke being played on you by Nature when you actually see RESULTS (I mean 40 lbs. that's nothing to sneeze at) for your potentially dangerous behavior - and results, as you know, usually speak louder than anything else to an otherwise discouraged lifetime dieter. Moreover, I also agree with you, carrying all that extra weight might eventually lead to some serious medical conditions (e.g. diabetes, heart disease, depression, etc.) Having said all that, I also (despondently) assure you that if you continue on the reckless weight loss path that you are currently on, the following “niceties among others” can and most likely WILL happen as well:1-You WILL eventually end up gaining all that lost weight back and then some;
2-You WILL start losing muscle mass/tissue which at your age (or any age for that matter) is NOT the smartest way to go about a long-term sustained weight loss program;
3-You WILL considerably increase your chances of coming down with a serious illness due to a weakened immune system.
So what then, you ask, should I do now that this crazy strategy has been the only way that I have ever been able to lose weight? What other option do I have?The good news is: You DO have another option and it is MUCH healthier and in many ways easier to stick to than what you are doing right now. It is called: Behavioral Modification. But it takes courage and dedication. There are even Organized Support Groups that you can join (for FREE) if group encouragement is a motivating factor for you. The weight loss equation, as I’m certain you are already aware of, is very straightforward. To lose weight you must take in fewer calories than you burn. That means eating right and exercising. It does NOT mean starving yourself to death. And I cannot possibly overemphasis the importance of exercise. Here is a basic game plan (to start with) see if you can make it work for you:Look up on the height vs. weight charts (there are zillions of them on the Internet) what your ideal weight should be (go with the upper limit instead of the lower one, at least to start with). Then look up (again there are zillions of calorie calculators online) how many calories you must take in to maintain that weight. Now make sure those calories come from decent sources that consist of the basic food groups, but ABOVE ALL make sure to spread those calories into 6 different unequal daily portions (take in more calories during the daytime than at night). Here is another very important tip: It takes roughly 20 minutes for your brain to get the satisfied/full signal from your stomach. If you have the urge to binge, just tell yourself I’m gonna give it 20-30 minutes and it WILL pass. Now combine that with drinking plenty of (mineral) water throughout the day and at least 5 days of 45-60 minutes of aerobic exercise per week (treadmill, bicycle, and/or swimming are my favorites, later on you can add some light muscle toning exercises as well) and you will SOON see some great improvements. This way you will gain a lot more energy and positive disposition, while losing FAT and preserving your long-term health. GOOD LUCK and hope it works out for you!
You're looking at it from a biased perspective; they're looking at it from the perspective they care about what is healthy for you.You ARE starving yourself if you are eating only one small meal a day. You can lie to yourself all you want, but that doesn't change the reality that your body needs more than that.Go talk to a nutritionist or a doctor. Tell them the same thing, and if THEY agree with you, then get the proof from them. If they don't, will they all be wrong, too?
Do you realize eating that way may allow you to lose weight, but it's gonna be a lot of the wrong weight? Super restrictive diets like this tend to lead to significant muscle tissue loss. So when you are over 40, that's one of the worst types of tissue to lose. Your body is already slowly losing this tissue as you get older. It will end up leading to more significant health problems in the next 10 years or so. I agree with them, and any health professional worth a salt will as well. You are heading down a dangerous path.

Advice on weight loss!?
Please help me! i need to lose weight! i was so healthy then i became unhealthy because... grr food. i want to go back to my old weight, which i had 6 months ago (not the weight when i was 80 pounds cuz thats just scary.) and that means i have to lose about 25 pounds. i was hoping to be in shape by school time.. september 4th. so i need exercises (that do not involve running/jogging or going to a gym since i have limited times) that will tone my abs, thighs, arms, yeah just my body overall (like get rid of fat though not make body builder muscles lol) and a diet like a specific one please. also, i heard cardio was good for losing weight... what are cardio exercises? can i have like a whole list of them? Okay... so this is what i need--1) specific diet to go on
2) exercises that don't involve running, jogging or going to a gym
3) a whole big list of cardio exercisesand how long approx. will it take to lose 25 pounds?
Answer:
Here's my briefest answer:1) Cut 1,000 calories from your daily requirements to lose 2 pounds a week. (calculate your calorie requirements at a website--google search). So to lose 25 pounds it will take you ~12.5 weeks. Sometimes it's just easier to watch your caloric intake than to go on a specific, boring diet.
2) Try dancing or biking as good cardio workouts, but running is the quickest calorie-burner. And getting into the habit of running is a good lifetime goal.
3) Any activity that raises your heart rate for at least 20 mintues can be considered cardio.

Advice for hardgainers...?
I'm trying to gain a bit more mass here...I'm 5'10" and fluctuate around 160-170lbs. my goal was always about 190-200lbs..i have tried every "miracle" product made by GNC, etc...all to no avail. B/c of some health issues, i can not have peanuts, peanut butter, multivitamins and some other stuff too... Is there anyone out there who knows a better way to gain some good mass? that is-withOUT a ton of supplements (illegal or legal). i refuse to go bankrupt on supplements that make me sick. Some more info on me-I have been routinely lifting for about 4-5 years, lowest weight being about 150 and highest about 185. I lift heavy about 4 times a week. I eat about 1500 cal/day and drink plenty of water. if anyone feels they have something to contribute (that i may not have heard a thousand times already) feel free to answer.. thanx in advance people.. and if anyone feels like talking at length about this, drop me a line/leave me an email address..
Answer:
yOU ARE NOT EATING NEARLY ENOUGH FOOD. 1500 calories at a bodyweight of 170? That's called a low-calorie diet. It would be a miracle if you gained any muscle, especially if you've been eating that way for a while. . .I would bump that up to AT LEAST 2400 if you are serious about gaining muscle, lots of protein (160 grams or more), complex carbs and healthy fats. Maybe more if you have a fast metabolism. Go to t-nation.com. They have all the info. you will ever need.

Answer:
Good start man!! I didn't start lifting until I was 16. Don't overtrain (by lifting the same muscles too often per week) You should lift the same muscles about 2-3 times a week (like 24-48 hrs. of recovery time). Make sure you use the right technique (especially with squats
seen too many people screw that exercise too much). Also Don't focus on putting much weight, You will build if you are disciplined enough (which it sounds like you are) and eat right. I don't think lifting it will stunt your growth and from what I heard people who frequently exercise generally have a lesser chance of injury than people who just casually do it. you seem to have a sound foundation, also don't focus on machines too much, it seems like dumbbells and barbells work better. Just make sure to put a proper amount of weight and right technique plus are you going for muscle power (low reps high weight - - ideal for a football player) or muscle endurance (high reps, low weight -- for a cross country runner)?This is mostly my personal knowledge and experience try to look up for many second opinions ( can't take a chance).
But overall it seems like you know what your doing.
keep it up!
No it wont. guys mature at different rates but mostly the rule is wait until after you are ten yrs old to lift.
LIfting heavy is fine if you do it correctly and it will strengthen you, not tear you up.
I lifted early with deadlifts and squats and eneded up the tallest one in my whole family of uncles and cousins too.
Just dont go too heavy. consistent workouts over time is more important,
Dont listen to people who have no facts but have heard somewhere that it stunts your growth. They dont know anything.
Lift and eat right and you will be fine., oh get good rest too.,
.
No.
Iam 15 years old and I do pretty much the same thing becouse Iam on the football team. The aerobic exercises wont effect your growth but weight training with heavy weights will effect you. You have to left light weights, becouse your muscles well more likely to show more and vans will show if you left light weights. Trust me, i've tride it and iam ripped as hell. But heavy weights may lead to growth stops.(stuned growth). But our joints as teenagers are very good. They will repair fast if they take impact. But once you get old (30+) your joints will go wronge. So i encourge you to keep doing aerobic exercises and lefting light weights.
At 14 your body is probably grown enough so your growth won't be stunted. If you ever feel like you are really tired and can't lift anymore during a workout, stop. Because the last thing you want is to get hurt. Also, if you don't have proper technique, you will increase your chance of injury. I started lifting at 13 and I am fine. Good luck!
not that i know of i am 16 and i have been lifting and doing basic workouts and i have not had any problems and i have been doing it for 3 years as long as u don't take to much supplements u should be good i workout for 2 hours 4 times a week i bench 250 and squat 310

Adipex... do i qualify?
I'm 15 years old, 5'1" and weigh 140 lbs. I haven't been able to lose weight and my weight is gradually going up. I went from a size 1 to a size 9 in just months. I've heard of people being 5'4" and only weight 140 and be on it... do you think a doctor would prescribe it to me or not? Just be honest, I don't want to waste my time with a doctor.
Answer:
No. A good doctor would not put a teenager on Adipex.

Answer:
Do not feel guilty now.Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.
you should do it 3 or 4 times a day for maximum health

Adderall and weight loss?
Has anyone experienced weight loss from taking adderall? It severely represses my appetite and I can barely eat while on it. Will this aid in me losing weight? I'm supposed to be taking it so that's not an issue. I am not taking it a lot now because I'm not in school, but I am wondering if I should start again since I'm looking to lose some fat.
Answer:
My son was on Adderall...and it did suppress his appetite. He has since been switched to a lesser appetite suppressing medication.Since you're not hungry...make the food you do eat count. Eat healthy snacks, an apple, peanut butter sandwich, celery and carrots. They're not real big meals, but you do not want to lose weight because of the appetite suppressive side effect of Adderall...To lose fat, eat protein and exercise. Being that you're young (assuming so since you're not in school), you really do not need to be losing weight. Maintain, perhaps...but do not use that particular Adderall side effect as a diet aid...it's not healthy and your doctor can pull you off of it fast. You will be going in for weight checks every so often...and blood pressure checks...monitoring that you are in your normal range and not losing weight.Do not use it if you do not need to for concentration for school, as weight loss is not the only side effect, but elevated blood pressure, which can hurt just about every system in your body later on in life.
not eating will aid you in losing muscle first than fat. you will look like a crack head. i wouldnt take that stuff if i where you. you know its a scam right?
It means you could become malnourished and lose not fat, but muscle.
For some this does occur. There are other meds which serve the same purpose which may be better for you.
Adderall has been shown to truly aid in weight loss in studies. I believe someone is doing a study now with putting severally obese teens on the drug to help them lose weight. I am not sure how safe it is however to be used in only weight loss. It is a stimulant drug much like cocaine and it stimulates the body's mechanisms including the metabolism. If your worried about weight loss talk with your doctor. If not and you are taking it as prescribed then the weight loss may be an added bonus.

Actimel, are they good or bad?
2 mths ago my 2 kids age 4 and 7 had a very bad tummy bug and diahorra which the 4 year old went into the hospital. He had rotavirus. I was told (by my sister in law who swear by it) that i should give them actimel as it would be good for the them to prevents any more tummy bugs. Since then they keep getting the tummy bug and diahorra (3 times) By any chance would it be the actimal is making them worse?
They used to eat yogurts but i stopped that and instead they drink 1 actimal a day otherwise they eat heathly enough
Answer:
There is a TINY bit of evidence that it is better than placebo, but is is difficult to justify the cost of leaving a family on it long term in the light of this minimal effect.
Its is good. A recent study was reported on TV that Actimel was being used in some hospitals to fight the deadly bugs MRSA or whatever you call it and another deadly bug and it proved to be very good in stopping people getting these bugs and it only costs the NHS 38p a day per patient instead of thousands of pounds trying to cure them
Take doc's opinion.Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.
If I were you I would call the doctors surgery (rather than make an appointment) and speak to your doctor. I know that Actimel is supposed to be good but is this just for adults rather than children? Maybe their systems don't cope with it. Sorry I don't know the answer but this is what I would do if you are thinking of continuning giving them Actimel. On the other hand stop giving it to them and see what the reaction is, if it's no more tummy bugs and diahorra, then they are best off without it.

Achieving optimum definition this week (details inside)?
On Saturday I have an event coming up in which I am required to wear an unbuttoned shirt on. I am perfectly fine with my body as is, but I'd like maximum muscle definition.On Monday I worked my Abdominals, Tuesday I did very minor back and bicep work, Wednesday was rest day, Today (Thursday) I did some tricep and chest work.Tomorrow I an debating if I should do another Abdominal day, because the over training might take away from some gains. I'd like an experts advice on the situation please.(Note: before you ask where's legs, I did squats and stuff on saturday)
Answer:
do a bit of everything, light weight and many reps. dont get too sore. If u want absolute maximum definition after that use some of that fake tanning stuff, that washes off but looks real.it really helps.
Absolutely! You can do abs..you've only done abs 1x this week.abs can be done 3x a week. You could do a nice ab session and then sat before your event another quick chest session for your unbottoned shirt.
I also recommend a solarium session for extra definition.
Good luck!

Abs training?
I want to have abs like my friends at the gym and I started my workout for a year, but all my daily training didn't come up with any results even though i walk a lot and i'm not overweight ( 5'8 and 160 lbs). When i asked my friend they advised me to lose 8 kg because the said that the fat may has covered the muscles. What should i do??
Answer:
You need to go on a low-fat diet, increase your cardio workout and continue your weight lifting. You can't "spot reduce," so kicking up the intensity of your ab workout will do nothing.If you're able, I HIGHLY recommend the Body for Life program. Go to www.bodyforlife.com to see the results you CAN achieve in 90 days.Look into the HIIT (high intensity inverval training) method of cardio. It's a better workout and guaranteed to trim the fat IF you stick to a good diet.
work on ab crunches for 30 min a day for like 3 weeks and ull have rock hard abs!
lots of abs work out. lot lot lots to lose the fat.
basically your friend is right. You need to lose the fat that's covering your abs. I would do a lot of abdominal exercises and a healthy diet. Should see results in a month or two.
ok.what i do is do crunches on a stability ball....250 a night (trust me...you'll get used to it) lay on your back on the ball.with your feet on the ground and pull yourself up to a crunch..i did 20,750 crunches so far....in about 3 months time.and my abs are showing now..so try that.stability balls arent expensive.just look in the work out/training section of any store.im pretty sure they have them
First of all genetics play a huge role when it comes body types, especially muscle structure. Not everyone is going to be able to gain a ripped stomach and even though you may not be overweight, your abdominals will still not ever look like your friends. That's not to say they won't look good though! The best way to get a good formed stomach is to do a lot of cardio exercise and eat a healthy balanced diet. I know, I know - You have probably heard that over and over and over. But seriously, it's not rocket science. Most people think you need to do a ton of abdominal excercises and well you do to build and form muscle but that will not take care of the layer of fat that most have covering their abs. You should only be training your abs about 2 to 3 times a week. Also, instead of doing crunches and ab exercises, switch it up and try doing some pilates or yoga. Those are great ways to tone your whole body and give you more of a variety so that you don't reach what is called workout boredom (in simple terms just means when your body is used to a certain workout).Good luck!

Abs question?
I no in weight lifting you have to wait a day before lifting so that your muscles can grow. but if you want to work on your abs do you do it everyday or everyother day like wieght lifting?
Answer:
When you work out any muscle group, you need to rest a day. This gives the muscles time to repair appropriately. Keep in mind that when you are working out your muscles they are actually being torn; they become larger as they repair themselves. It doesn't matter if it's your arms, legs or abs, always rest a day!! And drink lots of water as your body needs water to repair. Good Luck!!
your abs are just like other muscles u work them out and then you rest and so forth. would u work out ur biscepts everyday by doing curls. of course not, unless u want to loss muscle. another thing to keep in mind is that if u use weights to train the abs u will have a bigger midsection which is good for strength training, but not for looks. so do ab work outs with out weights for best results, looks wise.

Abs help...//ab lounge?
Im 14 and in athletics at school this last fall they had us do a lot of crunches. I had a belly at the beginning, but now its odd. the crunches have flattened the top third(ish) section of my abs, but the bottom 2/3rds is still "round".
any specific exercises that mainly work the lower abs?ive also been looking into the ab lounge. ive been reading the feedback here and it seems to be very extreme answers "it rocks!" or "its horrible!!'
opinions? worth money?
if so--

It is ONLY worth the money if it is the only way to get you to work on your abs! Otherwise, save your cash. Women have a very difficult time with the lower abs due to the way we store fat and our harmones. Try ab exercises that encourage you to pull your pelvis and your rib cage together to engage a fuller range of motion and muscle - basic crunch while pulling bent legs in at the same time. Pilates is fantastic for fully engaging your abs and your core! Also, if you are workig your abs hard, be sure to work your back as well or you will have muscle imbalance that can lead to injury, back pain, etc. Cheers...
PS - Hubby bought an Ab Lounge and using the exercise ball or doing pilates is WAY more challenging than that!
the Ab lounge is great maintenance - not start up, to help with lower abs try hanging leg raises, or lie on your back place your hands under you butt and keep legs together and rotate them in a large circle for 1 min then go opposite direction for another minute. then while still on your back have someone stand over you, hold their ankles and lift your legs together up to them and have them push them down, don't let them hit the ground, have them push in all directions - give 1 week of this and you will start noticing lower abs quickly. good luck
Just keep doing crunches and leg lifts DO NOT get an ab lounge it is a waste of money I did it 4 6 months and I saw NO results!Hope this helps!
any specific exercises that mainly work the lower abs?ive also been looking into the ab lounge. ive been reading the feedback here and it seems to be very extreme answers "it rocks!" or "its horrible!!'
opinions? worth money?
if so--
# of sets?
sets of ___?
how often a week?
when do results show?thanks.

Abs Excercises?
What are sum very good ab excercises that really work or a website with a workout plan without any stuff,i only got myself,a excercise ball,treadmill,and thats it,plzzz
Answer:
http://beauty.expertvillage.com/videos/a...Hopefully this one will work just fine it has the step by step video using your excercise ball in the routine as well. Good luck
Crunches, leg lifts, and put your legs straight up in the air and do sit ups. Fifty each.
Leg raises and sit ups are pretty much the core exercises. You do not really need any equipment, although a sit up bench only cost about 25 quid in the UK, I guess 30-50 USD. These can help as you support your legs to allow you to concentrate on the abs, and you can also do weighted situps by holding a weight to your chest.To take it one step further, get a pair of inversion boots, and somewhere solid to hang them, and do inverted sit ups.
Check out this website for ab excercises. It even has a animated picture for each exercise. I have used this site for ab excercises and the are effective. http://www.shapefit.com/abs-exercises-to...

Abs Abs Abs?
I've been working out for almost 2 months now on my mid-section but still have only obtained my top 4 abs that are barely noticeable. Does anybody know good exercises for those hard to get lower abs? Or how to make them more noticeable?
Answer:
Most of the exercises below are designed to work all of your abdominal muscles, not just the visible "six-pack" rectus abdominus, but also your deep abs (transversus abdominus), obliques, and even your lower back. By strenthening all of these muscles, which wrap around the lower torso like a girdle, you'll get a lean, defined middle that looks good and works even better.Have fun!
http://slideshow.ivillage.com/diet/get_l...
Abbs is one of the main things i work out...honestly doing 3 sets of 100 crunches is not gonna do the trick...When you do a crunch your leg muscles are helping...so next time you do a crunch lift ure legs up and cross/lock them together that way the MAIN way you're doing a crunch is by contracting ure abbs ...you can also do that with a weight on your chest. Then go for side abbs lay on one side hands touching each ear and move upward till your elbow almost touches your boob but a little outside of it. You can also lay upside down on an inclined bench and do sit ups ...personally i do 2 sets of 50 crunch 50 side crunch (left) 50 side crunch (right)
abs are not like a thing that grows over a short time
its also base on what u eat too
the best way i say is the classic sit up
and then about 20 push ups
just do at least 60 a day for like a year
this will do it
trust me i got my abs that way
also reduce the amount of fatty foods like fast food
try sticking to like types of meat and grain
also dairy
i'm not say this is what u always should eat
but it will help if u generaly eat this type of stuff
one more thing if u have fat on ur stomach then get rid of it
gaaa one last and final thing to say
it also depends on the type of body u have some people take longer to acquire abs then others, some just cant
but what i said should help
good luck getting those abs

About what height do u think ill be??
age:12
height:about 5`6
shoe size:10 %26 101/2
gender:female
Answer:
5'9-6'0
look at your parents. That's the fairest representation of your future stats. If your parents are short, you probably will be unless you have some dormant tall genes (and you' d have to ask a geneticist about all that) It also depends on when you take your spurts.but if you're twelve, that tall already, you'll be most likely taller before you finish growing. And your shoe size indicates to me that you'll be exceptionally tall.
It all depends on your parents height. If your mom and dad are tall (6'3'' and 5'10'') then more than likely I would say about 5'9''--6'0''. My sister was about that height when she was 12. If your parents are short (5'11'' and 5'6'') the you would be around 5'9'' stretching it. Women are normally the height they're going to be at 15 or so. Keep track of how much you've grown over a 3 month period. Do the math and that would be the approximate height.

About weight loss please help?
i am jogging (3kms) and brisk walking(3kms) continuosly that means i jog and walk 6 kms daily, do 100 situps , 30 dips , and i am taking 2200 calories daily i want to know that whether i will be able to loose some weight till 14th october say 15 kgs by this schedule and diet intake. my height is 6 feet and weight is 115 kgs currently .. (yeah i am obese)
Answer:
That seems good, it sounds like you should lose a decent amount of weight doing that. If you follow that until mid October then that should get you down to somewhere around 95kg if you keep at it good. Also make sure you follow a healthy diet as well, without a proper diet almost all exercise is for nothing. Also I'd recommend for you something that has worked for me and for a lot of other people: swimming. Believe it or not swimming will actually kickstart your metabolism and will really let you lose weight. In fact it'll make you lose so much weight that if you start it I'd recommend you actually increase (yes, increase) your caloric intake, that's how powerful it is and that's how much energy your body needs to replace. But I'd also cut back on the running a bit if you decide to get into swimming, you never want to overstress your body. And a few last words of wisdom: don't resort to diet pills! The pills that don't work just try to get over people's psychological blocks for their weight problems (they're a fully marketed placebo) and the pills that do work make you extremely skinny even if you're really overweight and will cause more problems like increased risks of heart disease, stroke, infection and can stunt bone growth. The pills that work aren't anything to be messed around with unless a doctor specifically gives them to you for a medication but even in that case you may be subject to a double-blind placebo test where the real thing will be distributed along with something that is proven to not work (placebo) where both you and your doctor won't notice the difference.
I don't know what you eat - but if you want a really good food plan for weight loss read "Skinny Bi tch"
if ur fat and can't lose weight it might be cuz u got it from ur family and u can't get rid of it.
how many pounds is a kg? if i know that, i might be able to help haha
If you eat more healthier foods and more veggies than meat. It will help.
Only for 5 days. take a 1-2 day break. on that Break you can eat whatever you like. but after your break you must start again. Continue until your happy. It does work. It worked for my aunt.
3 kms is only almost 2 miles, I would start out and 3 kms and within a week or so try to run 4.5 kms, that's factoring in your cools off period too. Your cardio is very crucial for losing weight. Also if you are able to get to a swiming pool, swimming is really good for toning your body and shedding the lbs or kgs in your case =) Make sure you stop drinking soda if you are, also something that I know helps is no carb's after five or six o'clock (at night)As long as you take out the bad foods; bring in the good foods; and excersice, you will for sure lose fat!Good Luck!!
Yes it is do-able but you will have to be motivated. Start running more of the 6kms and walking less. The situps and dips are great, you should add in some other exercises also: pushups, leglifts, weight training,etc. I would also try and drop the calories to about 1800-2000 per day. These need to be good calories from healthy foods. If you get into heavy weight training more towards 2000 calories. Remember muscle weighs more than fat so you may lose 15kgs of fat but only show 12 or 13kgs on the scale.

About weight lifting.?
I am trying to increase my strenght and the are different opinions out there. Is it better to do lower reps with heavy weights like 3 to 5 reps, or is it better to do sets of 8 to 10 reps. this might seem like a small difference to most but there is a big difference. Plus how many sets should i do of either/or?
Answer:
If your main goal is pure strength (ala powerlifting), keep the reps under 6 and your weight over 85% of your 1 rep max. If you are keeping the reps this low, you can do 5-7 sets per lift. If you're going the 8-10 rep route (more size building, but still building strength), keep your sets at 3-4.
You can actually increase strength both ways. Strength and hypertrophy gains occur when the muscle is exposed to a workload it is not used to, either through volume (reps/sets) or weight.
It is better to do more sets of reps instead of more weight, because adding more weight , can hurt your joints, and if you are strengthing, then more reps and sets are the smart way to go.

About treadmill?
hi i am over-weight..dats why i wanna buy treadmill because the charges for gym here r really high..but i am afraid my friends say u can't have that set up for exercise at home ..u can't make that kind of tempo...its useless to have treadmill at home..she said she bought that..didnt use it and now she is drying her clothes over there...what should i do:( bcz i know i am a bit lazy and may be if i buy that i wud use it for sometime and then may not because of my laziness..i lack will-power..how should i manage this?
Answer:
Don't listen to other people's treadmill failures, buy yourself a treadmill %26 use it faithfully each day. I had one when I lived up north %26 couldn't go walking in the local walking park during the winter. I walked on it twice a day because I enjoyed it so much. It was my time! I put on my headset, (love my music) started out slowly, then increased the speed gradually. When I was done, I slowed it back down %26 walked it for about ten minutes. I'd hop off the treadmill, sit down, %26 sip some water. I got into a walking routine %26 I wasn't going to give up. You have to be determined to start a walking regime or it won't work. I was a bit lazy too but I'm not anymore. I live where it never snows now, so I walk outside for three to four miles daily. To get motivated, tell yourself you CAN %26 WILL do it.
Put the treadmill besides the tv, so you can multi-task on the same time, it'll be easier and more fun than running all day, when you can watch tv too! :)
start by going for walks outside around the block. if you can do that consistenly for a month, then buy a treadmill - otherwise you really will waste the money. If you get a treadmill, use it whilst watching tv. If you do it everynight at the same time, it will be easy as long as you do it!
Don't be afraid to do something good for yourself! There are so many worse things you could buy. While it's true it could sit and collect clothes, it's also true that you could get in the habit of using it everyday and lose weight like I did. Don't let fear stop you; you won't succeed unless you give it a try.Good luck!
Hi. I have a treadmill and I use it here in my home. you have to tell yourself that you are "going to get on it once a day"
you have to start out slow. my Doctor told me 5 min. for a bit and then go higher. don't hurt yourself and just jump on there and start running.
I lack will power too, but when u get to a very fat point you will realize its easier to just do it and quit procrastinating and putting it off and half a$s doing everything because if you dont do it like you need to it won't work.I tend to buy alot of exersise equiptment, I have a perfectly good treadmill out on the back porch, probably with alot of **** on top of it. I hate walking and I hardly use it..However, I do have a"recumbent" exersise bike that I really use alot.. it doesnt make me tired like walking does and im able to sit back, unlike normal exersise bikes. You can sit back and relax while you do it.. Just look up.. Recumbent Air Bikes and they arent too expensive either..
You have the right idea. And you are right about most people buy them and don't use them after a while. If there were a good solution to laziness, that wouldn't happen so much.
Put the treadmill where you can watch TV. That helps.
Be sure and set yourself a set of goals. Long term, that helps.
The hard part is starting each time. You can try setting a set time each day. And start easy, so you won't dread starting.
dont listen to other people i have a treadmill in my house and i use it everday... put it by the tv.. thats what i did and it reallly helps cause i can get a great workout and still watch tv..
hope that helped 鈾?

About the "Curves for Women" Program of Working Out...?
Does anyone know anything about Curves workout centers and if those machines really make a difference? They aren't "free weight" based, but hydrolic, and work with your own body's weight resistance. How hard you can "push" and "pull" the bars on the various machines is the muscle builder, I suppose... do these work? Do they take longer than free weights? And can you work out daily with these machines as opposed to only being able to work out every OTHER day with free weights? Anyone know?
Answer:
I worked out at curves for about 1 year. My body defintely looked better but after 1 year and following a good diet I only lost 12 pounds. I needed to loss about 100. Dont' know why other people I worked out with lost much more. I down 2 dress sizes and that was nice but they emphasize they fitness level a work out produces not neccesarily the weight loss. They equipment was great. You stay about 30 per piece of equipment and there were 12 equipment stations plus 12 jogging stations. You do circuit training and complete 2 circuits. total 30 minutes. I liked the hydraulic based-equipment because you could work at your pace and strength. For example I would count how many thigh presses I could do in 30 seconds. I started out doing like 15 and by the end of the year I was up to 28. Doesn't sound like alot but the faster you move the more pressure builds up in the hydraulic pistons that move the equipment. Basically , the explanation provided was that if i started out with 5 pounds of lift by the time I was done with that piece of equipment I was up to 10 pounds plus. Which means that I did not have to go out and buy a complete set of weights and as I moved up in strength had alot of weights laying around that I would not use again. Recommended free weight for a woman is usually 5 Lbs. to start and gradually move up to 10--15-- etc. until you feel youv'e reached the maximum amount you can lift. Curves does recommend every other day for their work out. Your muscles need a day for recovery and the also recommend a day of cardio on your in between days. Don't know if I helped much but it just isn't a good idea to do weights every day any. It just causes muscle strain and the possiblity of injury.
I go to Curves. Hydraulic machines are better than weights because the machine will offer as much resistence as you can tolerate and then do the same for me.
My sister loves curves, because it's all women. And you go at your own pace she says it was the best because she never overdid it or hurt herself and also enjoyed not seeing perfectly toned and skinny women looking at her while she was pouring sweat. She's in fabulous shape but not tiny but healthy and thats what counts. Health and happiness above all else. Pearl I recommend it.
Answer:
I worked out at curves for about 1 year. My body defintely looked better but after 1 year and following a good diet I only lost 12 pounds. I needed to loss about 100. Dont' know why other people I worked out with lost much more. I down 2 dress sizes and that was nice but they emphasize they fitness level a work out produces not neccesarily the weight loss. They equipment was great. You stay about 30 per piece of equipment and there were 12 equipment stations plus 12 jogging stations. You do circuit training and complete 2 circuits. total 30 minutes. I liked the hydraulic based-equipment because you could work at your pace and strength. For example I would count how many thigh presses I could do in 30 seconds. I started out doing like 15 and by the end of the year I was up to 28. Doesn't sound like alot but the faster you move the more pressure builds up in the hydraulic pistons that move the equipment.

About how much?
time will it take if i eat corn flakes in the morning and bfore workout i workout at 6 and how long will it take me to lose weight my body burns around 2000 calories a day by itself and i workout on the treadill and burn 500 - 700 caloires so i burn total of 2600 in a day and eat about 600 so how long will this take please tell me
Answer:
well every 3,500 calories your body burns that is a pound of fat so if you burn 2,000 calories more each day than your body requires then that is 14,000 per week so you will lose just over 4 pound per week doing this! (more in the first week as your body loses excess water.)
everyone is different. not sure what corn flakes has to do with anything.
ugh wth. dude. u need to eat atleast 1500 calories a day or u'll end up in the hospital.
well obviously if u've been doing this for a week and havent lost any weight it's not working.

About how many lbs will i lose in a week doing this?
ok i am eating more healthy foods now and eating less, i am doing about 2 1/2 hours of cardio a day, different varieties of cardio, biking, walking, dancing, wii sports, cleaning, ddr, and more. if i do this everyday, about how many pounds a week do you think i will lose, i am eating about 1200 calories a day.
please help
Answer:
Well I would guess you could lose 2-3 lbs from the dieting and exercise. This would probably be weight in fat. However, you may also lose water weight due to the amount of cardio and heat (water weight leaves your body in the form of sweat) so you may be able to lose a few pounds here too.I don't think you'll be able to lose more than 4-5 lbs but getting rid of the water weight will reduce bloating that we often don't even notice because we're used to it so your tummy will look flatter.Don't forget to stay hydrated though! Good Luck!
Aim for 2-3 pounds per week. If you hit 1 pound, it's still a pound.
That really just depends on your metabolism.Its hard to answer that one.
Wait one week and then tell US !
I'm not sure about how many lbs you'll loose but i did almos the same thing as you and I lost about 15-20lbs in one month. I was a waitress before and i used to walk around about 4-5 hrs a day. So that's where i got some cardio especially when we were busy. At home i would do about 1hr of cardio (Latteral Thigh Trainer)and 30min to 1hr of abdomial work.
ABout the food.OMG i totally cut off all the fat and most of the carbs. No fired food or junk food, no carbonated drinks and very easy on the juice. Lots of water, lots of fruit, veggies especially the leafy greens and a good portion 4-5 oz of protine. Try to grill, broil or bake your protine. It really worked for me but everyone is different.
Try it and keep us posted!
Remember only do what your body can handle.

About how many calories do you burn from jogging at a moderate pace for 25 minutes?
Answer:
If you're going about 5 mph, which is a moderate pace, you'll cover 2 miles in 24 minutes and burn about 300 calories. You burn about 150 calories per mile, maybe slightly more if you run a little faster, but it's really not significantly more. You'll also burn a little more if you're heavier and a little less if you're lighter. But 150 calories per mile is easy to calculate in your head and is pretty accurate no matter speed or weight.Here are some caluclators that can help you with how far, how fast, or how long it will take to cover your distance...
http://exercise.bizcalcs.com/
about 185 im guessing.
maybe up to 250, but none from fat as your liver has enough glycogen for 20-30 min of exercise. Unless you are watching your carb intake.
About how long does it take for weight gainer to start working?
Answer:
What are you using? I tried a weight gainer from GNC in the past. It sucked. I found a much better way to gain the weight which includes proper nutrition and the right supplements. If you want to gain weight, you will need to eat A LOT. So if that weight gainer is a substitute for other meals you are not going to see any results. Also, if you've changed your level of physical activity, an increase in caloric intake could be canceled out.
About Curves?
How much does it cost monthly?
I've been reading up on it and people say the workout routines aren't challenging enough?
Would you recommed going here or somewhere else?
Answer:
if you are willing to spend money on CURVES, then you might as well be willing to buy your own exercise equipment and workout at home becuase i tried CURVES and for the money they dont do much... the advertising was more of a workout than the actual event..
Everyone I have spoken to about Curves swears by it... I am just waiting for my membership at the other ladies only place to expire b4 I join Curves... And no I wouldnt recommend the other one... WHere r u located
I don't recommend Curves.
I go to fernwood and is very challenging.
And gives great results.

About Atkins Diet (weight didn't goes down !)?
I have started Atkins 4 weeks ago,I didn't eat rice or any carbohydrates (25g under).But my weight didn't goes down.I am a student and I work infront the computer all day long.Is it means Atkins Diet also need excerise too??Help me.!If i go to Gym 3 times a week,everyday 1 hour and do Atkins Diet,can i lose 25pounds before the middle of Augest ??
Answer:
Atkins stated in his book "If you are not exercising, you are not doing Atkins".Have you read the book? If not, it's quite possible that you are not doing Atkins properly.As mentioned above, it's also possible that you are eating a lot of hidden carbs, especially if you are eating a lot of processed foods.Unless you are extremely obese (ie more than 100 pounds to lose) it is unlikely that you will lose 25 pounds in just over a month. But you should be lighter than when you started, and healthier too.It's also possible that you're shrinking, even though the weight is not changing. Have you measured yourself?When you don't have a lot of weight to lose, the loss can be very slow.
yes u must a least work out three times a week. but you don't have to go to the gym. you could work out in the house. buy a jump rope and do crutches that should work .
The atkins diet is not good for you. When you start the atkins diet you'll be losing fat and muscle mass, however, the minute you come off the diet you'll gain all of the weight back, but all of it will come back as fat, so all in all, you're less healthy than you were before hand. Try a simple diet plan of your own. 1.) Drink lots of water
2.) Eat all the fruits and veggies you want
3.) Cut out junk food, fast food, greasy food, and regular pop/soda.
4.) Continue to exercise even if just from home - crunches, bicycle kicks, run in place, walk/bike/jog around the block, swim for 30 minutes, hold 5 pound weights while walking up the stairs.I know this sounds weird because so many people rave about the amount of weight they lose on the Atkins Diet, but honestly, it comes back double what you lost the minute you stop the diet. Do you really want to have to diet all of your life to keep that trim figure?? Hope this helps. Good Luck! :=-)
look for hidden carbs in your food. Packaged, processed food is no good for you. Lots of marinades and salad dressings contain hidden sugar. Stick to lean meat and veggies, so called "raw foods" that you eat in as close to a natural form as you can. Keep away from the refined starches and sugars and you'll do fine

About anorexia...?
When you start eating normaly, but your metabolism slows down so that you weigh more that you did before you were anorexic, should you allow this to happen? Because your body needs the same amount of food as before? Or should you lower your calorie intake to match your metabolism?
Answer:
DO NOT LOWER YOUR CAlORIE INTAke. yes, that is supose to happen.
All i can say is eat alot and it is much better to be fat and have diabeatise
It's normal. Just keep eating like you are now, don't lower the calorie intake. Drink a lot of water or exercise to keep your metabolism up. It'll be ok.
don't lower your calories, your body needs fuel...eat right and exercise and eventually the metabolism should get back to a more "normal" state... 4 - 6 small meals a day keeps the metabolism burning at a higher rate for longer, than the typical 3 meals a day.also, the more muscle you have, the faster the metabolism, and of course exercise bumps it up for a while as well.
Do NOT lower your caloric intake. You need the extra calories to gain back some healthy weight. Initially, you may put on several pounds, but your body will adjust and your metabolism will start to speed up to burn the excess calories. You just need to be patient and let your body adjust.

About 162 about 5'7 13 yrs. old trying to lose weight and get in shape?
Ok I'm looking to lose some weight and get in shape for football when school starts in August like I sorta was last year. I'm thinking of running about a mile a day and doing pushups and situps and maybe lift weights. Is this enough for about a month and a half to get in good shape?
Answer:
That sounds like a good idea. I don't think you need to loose weight really, but to get you in shape that sounds like a good idea. But if you live where I do, do it when it's really early in the morning or later in the evening because it's so HOT!
Remember the water and GOOD LUCK!

Abdominal bloat?
What are some foods, or natural ways to reduce abdominal bloating? I know eating yogurt daily and drinking hot lemon water in the morning will help, anything else?
Answer:
Avoid chewing gum and drinking carbonated beverages. Eat slowly and drink plenty of water throughout the day. The bacteria in Activia yogurt also help with digestive problems.
I would think dairy products would help: lowfat / fat-free milk %26 cheese, and yogurt. Don't eat alot of sodium: condensed soups, beef jerky, ham.

Ab workout to tone?
Im in a good weight and eat healthy allready. I feel ready to start toning my stomach since I dont have all that ugly fat anymore. My problem is that I have no clue of any workout that I can fallow, please help me if you are good at this. by the way I do cardio, lift weight, and toned every where, I was just not a ab person,lol. thanks
Answer:
heres what i find really helps.
do 25 normal crunches.
do 25 crunches lying completely flat and just lifting your torso
do 25 crunches with your legs raised
do 25 crunches with all of your weight on one side of your body
the same on teh other side
do 25 crunches with one ankle resting on the opposite knee and twist your torso to the other side.
then the same on teh other side
lift your lets up for 25 seconds(a few inches off the floor)
do a V-Sit for 30 seconds.
Do this every other day and i promise you'll see results. Also you can try a pilates video because that focuses on your core, however you would hve to designate 20-45 minutes, but its really great!
you can also try the plank where you are in a push up position resting on your forearms and just hold that position for 30 seconds the first day and every other day try to keep increasing it until eventually you're up to 5 minutes. good luck!
Be sure to do exercises that work the full range of your abs. Such as leg raises for the lower, crunches for the middle and upper. Decline situps are also really good.
www.bodybuilding.com has many workout routines and articles, just remember that now you are building muscle and you must give your abs time to recover after each session so that they can be hit hard again.
Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.

Ab Workout Question...?
Is it better to do as many ab exercises as you can threw out tha day
or do only a couple of sets a day
Answer:
I work out my abs twice a day every other day.500 reps of 3 different ab exercises (totalling 1000 reps in all). I do one set on my own at home, and the other set at the gym.
Just don't do it too much in one day. Muscles need to be relaxed. Well, I think you should do some sets regularly and the most important thing is increasing the intensity. That's it!
Arnold cannot lift 100 kilograms for the first time too!

It's probably just the scale or your weight distribution or something. The best way to use a scale is to weigh yourself once a day, at the same time every day. Then, pay attention to the differences from day to day, not hour to hour. Weight fluctuates throughout the day, for all sorts of reasons.
Did you drink water during your workout? How reliable is your scale?

A very serious question!!!!!!?
this girl in my school is anorexic and i know about it and she is also bulimic
what can i do to help her???? she isnt even fat!!!!!!!!!!
Answer:
Most eating disorders are not really about weight, there are deeper issues under the surface. Here are some links that give some indepth infomation on how to help loved ones with an eating disorder:
http://www.mirror-mirror.org/applove.htm...
http://www.remudaranch.com/index.php/new...
http://www.newrealitiescan.com/what_do_i...There are more on google but those looked to be some of the better ones. You may also want to tell her parents and help with an intervention. Above all be there for her, she will need a great deal of support to start the recovery process. What ever you do I believe that you have taken the first big step with helping her recover by wanting to help her. Good luck to you!
Best think you can do is tell her parents. So they can get her therapy.
you can't be anorexic and bulemic at the same time. If she's starving she's anorexic, if she eats then throws it up, she's bulemic. If you really want to help, talk to her family and arrange an intervention so she can get some help at a clinic.
You need to tell a school counselor right away. If you know the girl as a friend, you should also talk to her parents.The girl may get mad at you, but don't let it bother you. You're paying that price in order to do what's right.
Well, do you know her well, or is she just a girl at school? People with eating disorders try to keep them very very secret, so if you don't know her well, you might just drive her away. Also, if you don't know her, you're assuming that what you've heard is true, and whether or not the rumor is true, it's just going to make things worse. But if you are really worried then I suggest that you talk to your school nurse or counselor, and then they can take it from there. If you know her well, it would still be a good idea to speak to the school nurse/counselor. But you can also talk to her privately, and let her know that you're worried about her. Even if she brushes you off or gets angry, just tell her that as a true friend you want the best for her. If she is in denial and truly does have an eating disorder, as you've mentioned, don't threaten her or force her to eat (well, don't do that anyway, but you know what I mean). but be very kind and gentle about it and encourage her to eat. You may also need to talk with her parents if they don't already know. It is good that you are concerned. Too many people either don't notice or think that eating disorders are a good way to lose weight, when in reality they pose serious health risks, and even death sometimes.
what can i do to help her???? she isnt even fat!!!!!!!!!!
Answer:
Most eating disorders are not really about weight, there are deeper issues under the surface. Here are some links that give some indepth infomation on how to help loved ones with an eating disorder:
http://www.mirror-mirror.org/applove.htm...
http://www.remudaranch.com/index.php/new...
http://www.newrealitiescan.com/what_do_i...There are more on google but those looked to be some of the better ones. You may also want to tell her parents and help with an intervention. Above all be there for her, she will need a great deal of support to start the recovery process. What ever you do I believe that you have taken the first big step with helping her recover by wanting to help her. Good luck to you!
Best think you can do is tell her parents. So they can get her therapy.
you can't be anorexic and bulemic at the same time. If she's starving she's anorexic, if she eats then throws it up, she's bulemic. If you really want to help, talk to her family and arrange an intervention so she can get some help at a clinic.
You need to tell a school counselor right away. If you know the girl as a friend, you should also talk to her parents.The girl may get mad at you, but don't let it bother you. You're paying that price in order to do what's right.
Well, do you know her well, or is she just a girl at school? People with eating disorders try to keep them very very secret, so if you don't know her well, you might just drive her away. Also, if you don't know her, you're assuming that what you've heard is true, and whether or not the rumor is true, it's just going to make things worse. But if you are really worried then I suggest that you talk to your school nurse or counselor, and then they can take it from there. If you know her well, it would still be a good idea to speak to the school nurse/counselor. But you can also talk to her privately, and let her know that you're worried about her.

A vegetarian diet... It's so hard, Any suggestions?
The weird thing is whenever I eat meat, I'm more sluggish or tired, I don't know why, but it's just really hard on my stomach to handle when I eat it on a daily basis... I asked myself questions like, why is my stomach hurting so much? Is eating meat everyday causing this?So I did a little research online on becoming vegetarian... blah.. blah.. blah. Anyways, the thing is when I was eating more fruit, beans, soymilk, cheese, and seaweed everyday, I just noticed something changed in my body... I'm like a new person whenever I eat a vegetarian diet everyday... I'm not moody or depressed at all, I feel more energetic physically and mentally.I just hope I can stick to this diet, but it's hard... not so easy because I grew up eating meat all my life, but I'm trying to change.Anyone facing a similar situation?
Answer:
I'm actually not facing a similar situation, but I've been vegetarian before for moral reasons (I still refuse to eat anything not free range) and yeah, it is hard at first. But it gets much easier. The thing that helped me when I first started was having a lot of eggs. Buy free range organic eggs and drink lots of organic RSBT-free milk so that you still get those animal proteins in your diet to keep that part of you satisfied. Also, there are many vitamins that can only be found in meat, eggs, and milk, so you don't want to miss out. Continue eating healthily and cut down slowly on dairy and eggs as you go and switch to soymilk and scrambled tofu. Also, to get motivated I suggest trying out delicious vegetarian entree recipes to see how good it can be! Nuts can make any dish amazingly hearty.
Well, I dont suggest the vegan way... your body needs protein...
And if you dont have it, you will lose alot of muscle matter...you can take protein and vitamin B supplements to recoop that... but its still hard...You can basically eat anything but meat...Have you checked with the doctor?
Maybe you have an ulcer or something...
Hmmm...well, I'm a vegan and I freaking love it. I couldn't imagine going back. Congratulations, by the way, for taking control of your diet and your life. I'm glad you're feeling better, but I admit, it was really hard at first. I had to re-learn everything about eating and habits...pretty much like food amnesia, lol.If you have a Trader Joe's in your area, you have to go. It's so easy to be vegetarian/vegan if you can shop there, and cheaper than being a meat eater anywhere. I feed my family of 3 for about 175$ a month, and we eat well.If not, look around your town and find your local whole food store. Look for brands like Morningstar Farms, Boca, Tofutti (my fave) Double Rainbow, Amy's, Smart Dogs, Silk...all of these things will make you forget that you're not a meat eater. Good luck!
don't go on any diet at all thats not healthy. simply eat a wide variety of foods. eat a lot of vegetables and fruits but eat meat and fish every once in a while. the reason you get tired and depessed when you eat meat is because your body has a hard time digesting it and because you probably didn't eat enough vegetables and fuits before which have a lot of vitamins, minerals and nutrients which help every part of your body. that is one of the "myths" of the vegetarian diet. humans are not vegetarians, they are omnivors so eat like a human. humans eat a lot of vegetables and fruits and a little meat and fish so do that and you will feel great.
I never really liked meat that much but here is some stuff i eatr that is vegetarian.I like eating cheese sandwhichs which is just sourdoughbread,jack cheese, lettuce, and tomato. It has high protein.Salads, salsa, chips, fruit smoothies from Jamba Juice, chips, cookies, and protein bars are good.Try Tofu some people like it others dont.
Good Luck
I am glad that you found a healthy diet for yourself. If you really miss meat, fish or poultry, eating a very small amount should not cause problems. Try to look up new recipes and try them at least once a week. I have been vegetarian %26lt;ovo-lacto%26gt; since 1970. I had some really bad feelings about eating flesh from the time I was about six. My reasons for my diet may be different from yours. My daughters have been vegan for 8 or 9 years now. They are both excellent cooks.Eat well and prosper!http://vegweb.com/index.php?action=recip...http://www.recipesource.com/special-diet...
omg yes i am facing the exact same situation! well, what i did to start out was this: if i had a choice between meat and vegetables (or something vegetarian) like at a restaurant i would get the vegetable one. instead of ribs or something i would get a salad. just force yourself to order the salad over the ribs. after you haven't had meet for about a week or so, it should prolly become a LOT easier to eat veggies instead of meat. after you dont have meat for a while the thought of it seems gross.after you can get yourself to make the better decisions at restaurants etc you can do the same @ home by only buying vegetarian approved items like esparagus, salad stuff, etc. if you live w/ ppl who arent a vegetarian you need them to help you. like if u still live at home and your parents make ur meals, have them make something that you can eat. it may take a little extra work, but then u should learn to make it yourself so you dont put the burden on anyone else.usually for most ppl after they dont have meat for a while they dont really want it or crave it so i just suggest for a week or longer until you dont crave meat just force yourself to make the right decisions.make sure you get enough protein in your diet! dont cut out dairy or beans because you need protein to function properly.well, hope this helps!! good luck w/ ur vegetarianness!! lol.::*sARaH*::.

A stone age diet please?
Answer:
mammoth, n. american camel, dodo birds, dead saber-toothall extinct sadly
sorry we only sell potatoes
Water, meat, sex.
Only things that could be hunted or gathered in your area. So say goodbye to most of your current diet.
just eat veggies and fruits all day + water ofcourse !
A stone age diet would have been seasonal, although meat would have been available all year round which they would have hunted for.
They were known as hunter/gatherers.
Seasonal fruits and berries/nuts would have been eaten, also grains, some roots and the meat would have come in the form of rabbit, deer, buffalo/bison, mammoth and possibly wild boar.
That would have been about it but all in all a very healthy and balanced diet.
The proof that it was a healthy and successful diet is in the fact that we are here today.
Water and meat. And the occasional vegetable!

A sin tax on fast food?
What do you think about this idea?
Answer:
It comes down to this. I don't want to pay more income tax, property tax, sales tax, etc. Yet, the country's infrastructure is falling apart and we have no way to pay for it. Maybe you are on to something here. I could live with sin taxing bad food. Now all we need to do is build more casinos and all will be perfect. Always double down on 11!
Its a horrible Idea
yeah fast food it bad for you
but it is a godsend on long roadtrips
why not? they sin tax cigarettes and alcohol .. fast food may not be as bad (i mean they do have salads) ... but it sure isn't great for you either.
Never heard of it. But fast food is getting better, and its a choice, so, no.
THATS THE DUMBEST IDEA IVE EVER HEARD
hell yeah!!
Dont you think that the damn goverment already taxes us far to bloody much without finding another excuse for them to take our hard earned money!
No. If you need taxes then just be straight forward about collecting it instead of playing games.
If a new fast food restaurant had healthy fast food (i.e. Tokyo Joe's), would you have a sin tax on that too? Even if the fast food is unhealthy, living in a democracy means that people should have a choice on what foods they eat (good or bad).
If you don't eat to much. You don't get any??
Who's telling me what a sin constitutes? If tax is needed for an item alright. Just don't assume that it's considered a "SIN" by me. Too many damn taxes anyway. It's a sin I tell ya.
Bad idea. The reason its constitutional to sin tax cigarettes and alcohol is because those are both luxuries than no one needs. Food, however, is a need for survival and there are many people who already can't afford anything but fast food (which is why its so popular). Sin taxing fast food increases the risks of people going hungry.

A simple exercise that works out stomach and lovehandles areas?
i need help figuring out how to flatten my stomach and at least minimize my lovehandles with a simple exercise that i can do either at home or with the machines at my gym. i just want to know if the treadmill, elipticals, etc. will do anything or if i have to do different things. i'm really quite clueless in this area. thanks!
Answer:
Best is crunches- look them up online for pictures and how to do them correctly- you do not want to hurt your back if you do them incorrectly. Also go out to your local mart type store (Wal, K-mart, Target etc) and pick up a silly fun workout video that specifically says for abs and tummy. Nothing for the pro's just fun looking. Dance type videos are fun, cardio striptease is way fun! Try it once a week, make sure the video looks fun otherwise it will just collect dust.
Make sure you are eating healthy too, exercise will make you tight and firm and sexy, but only if you are taking care to eat healthy.
Best of luck!
sit ups for the stomach and love handles don't know
Sex
Try turbo jam. Hip hop is so fun, and most of all makes you feel sexy!
Run outside and sweat, also limit portion size. If you eat enough for 2 people you will be the size of two people. That ratio holds true for all portion sizes.
sit ups!
wedge you feet under a sofa or the end of the bed and do 100 everynightstart doind 25 at first or something and work your way upive been doing them and i notice the difference

Are you from Cuba? I lived many years in Habana. Anyway, the best exercise that I have ever found for this is simply "crunches". In fact, do them till it hurts, take a day off and then do them again.
Viva La Habana, Viva Cuba
this is simple, and it works for me: lay on the ground on your back, with your knees to one side on the ground, so you're a bit twisted. do some crunches like that, and then switch your knees to the other side. works on abs and obliques. have funn!!
Cardio, Cardio, Cardio! Good Luck!
I bought a pilates dvd that has all different areas of workouts and the very first one is for the stomach and it works every part of the stomach and its not hard. It has Pilates for Abs , hips and thighs , strength(includs small hand weights), pilates burn, and pilates for flexibility. Each one is 10 mins long and not hard to do. It actually works.
There is a type of crunches that is extremely helpful for all regions of abs and somwhat for the back/lovehandles. It's a v-shaped situp. You dont need any equipment, just floor space!Start lying on your back with your knees up and feet on the ground, evenly placed. This is just your basic situp starting position. Your hands should be about at your heels if they are on the ground as well. That is just to make sure your legs are at the right distance. Then put your hands behind your head. You're ready!What you do to begin the exercise is lift both your legs and head (including shoulders!) off the ground at once. Imagine you are going up from the ground and forming somewhat of a V-shape. you can do this with your legs bent (you can do more repetititions this way, i like it better) or with your legs straight to make a true "V" which will work your lower abs more.It looks like this: http://www.ast-ss.com/training/exercises...Start with 3 sets of 25 crunches each, working up to 100 a day! You can vary the type of crunches but make sure you're doing at least 100 a day and are feeling the burn.
allright u should def. jog and do cardio 3 times a week and there is this exercise that goes somn like this:lay down on ur back with knees bent and feet on floor, then take one leg and rest the foot on the knee, so it kinda looks like ur just relaxing, then put your arms behind your head, and have your elbow touch your knee thats pointing out, kinda like opposites you know...ummm...i dont know how to describe this, but.umm...okay how about this, lay down flat on the floor, then with your legs make like a 4...just what it looks like, one leg over the other like a number 4.arms behind your head, kinda like you're in the field enjoying nature or somn, then bend the straight leg as if ur were looking at it from the side it would look like this: ^ . and then bring the left elbow to the right knee, then switch legs and bring the right elbow to the left knee...u know...lemme know if this makes sense lol
KEEP doing those machines that you have, but add in stomach exercises...Crunches, side crunches (where you lift one elbow to your opposite knee), and leg lifts will help (where you lie flat, and lift your legs, without moving your upper body off the ground, to straight up in the air.)Also, but more advanced are bicycle crunches..you lift your legs with knees bent at a 90 angle, then raise your elbows to meet your stationary knees,,,,,don't move your knees, move your torso. DONT cheat and bring your knees in to you closer, that is not targeting what you need to do..Do as many as you can, then build up to doing sets of 100 or so. Hopefully those tips flatten your tum out...A great cardio workout means doing AT LEAST 20 minutes per day, 3 times per week. That is you on those machines for that long, PLUS do the stomach work, and you should see a difference.
Pilates classes 4x per week, you can go to a class at a gym or the YMCA. Or you can go to ROSS dress for less and get DVD's cheap there. Maybe ebay.
This one works really quickly for me - kind of a modified plank/dolphin yoga pose. Get into a "push-up" position but rest on your forearms instead of your hands. Tighten your abdominals and hold for 30 seconds. Do 5 sets.

A reverse food diet..?
I read in a mag the other day that beyonce knowles done a diet called the reverse food diet (something like that (and no, its not about throwing up)) :oP
Anyway, she said she has a big meal for breakfast, a healthy lunch, and cereal in the evening instead of a dinner.
What do you think of this? Do you think its do-able? has anyone done it? did it help you lose weight? did it affect your body? was it bad?Any help on it at all would be helpful. Thanks.
Answer:
This is the same concept as eating like a king for breakfast, a prince for lunch and a pauper for dinner. When you are breaking a fast, you should eat as much as you can. Your body needs the extra food following such a lengthy period of non eating. Lunch should and could easily be smaller. Dinner can be even smaller but I ouwld never end the day with cereal. This will cause your insulin to rise a bit and you will be to hungry by the time your fast is over. Dinner should be a protein. So it would have been a better choice to end the day with a piece of cheese and strawberries or half a chicken breast and a small green leafy sald. I would pitch the cereal.
Yes, it would work just fine. Cereal is really good for you if you have it with milk!
I have not done it personally, but alot of people do it by using cereals like special K with 2% milk. It seems like it may work since the amount of food eaten at each meal is the key any way. Just be sure to incorporate healthy nutritious snacks.
the only healthy diet is a balanced one. you might look at her and go whoa shes skiny but she also works out constantly, and bounces around on stage for hours at a time. my advice is 3 meals and 3 snacks a day (about every 2-2.5 hours). exercise will help loose weight as well as knowing how many calories you need.
saw this on a tv programme being tested by someone. they said it is possible to lose some weight but it was a difficult way of eating to keep up long term.
breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dine like a pauper. it works just fine as long as you get all your nutrients. it makes sense to get most of your calories at the start of the day when you're more likely to burn them off.
I have heard that this does work.The reason is that if you eat a big meal late at night your body will not use up all the calories and will make them into fat. However, if you have your big meal at lunchtime you will burn it all up
Anyway, she said she has a big meal for breakfast, a healthy lunch, and cereal in the evening instead of a dinner.
What do you think of this? Do you think its do-able? has anyone done it? did it help you lose weight? did it affect your body? was it bad?Any help on it at all would be helpful. Thanks.
Answer:
This is the same concept as eating like a king for breakfast, a prince for lunch and a pauper for dinner. When you are breaking a fast, you should eat as much as you can. Your body needs the extra food following such a lengthy period of non eating. Lunch should and could easily be smaller. Dinner can be even smaller but I ouwld never end the day with cereal. This will cause your insulin to rise a bit and you will be to hungry by the time your fast is over. Dinner should be a protein. So it would have been a better choice to end the day with a piece of cheese and strawberries or half a chicken breast and a small green leafy sald. I would pitch the cereal.
Yes, it would work just fine. Cereal is really good for you if you have it with milk!
I have not done it personally, but alot of people do it by using cereals like special K with 2% milk. It seems like it may work since the amount of food eaten at each meal is the key any way. Just be sure to incorporate healthy nutritious snacks.

Check out the link for more info.http://www.drsears.com/foodblockguide.pa...There are good fats and bad fats.
Bad Fats
Saturated fat is the main dietary cause of high blood cholesterol. Saturated fat is found mostly in foods from animals and some plants. Foods from animals include beef, beef fat, veal, lamb, pork, lard, poultry fat, butter, cream, milk, cheeses and other dairy products made from whole and 2 percent milk. All of these foods also contain dietary cholesterol. Foods from plants that contain saturated fat include coconut, coconut oil, palm oil and palm kernel oil (often called tropical oils), and cocoa butter.Trans-fatty Acids and Hydrogenated Fats
Unsaturated fatty acids can be in one of two shapes — "cis" and "trans." These terms refer to the physical positioning of hydrogen atoms around the carbon chain. The cis form is more common than the trans form. Trans-fatty acids (TFA) are found in small amounts in various animal products such as beef, pork, lamb and the butterfat in butter and milk.TFA are also formed during the process of hydrogenation, making margarine, shortening, cooking oils and the foods made from them a major source of TFA in the American diet. Partially hydrogenated vegetable oils provide about three-fourths of the TFA in the U.S. diet. The trans fat content of foods is printed on the package of the Nutrition Facts label. Keep trans fat intake to less than 1 percent of total calories. For example, if you need 2,000 calories a day, you should consume less than 2 grams of trans fat.Trans-fatty acids are also formed during the process of hydrogenation. "Hydrogenate" means to add hydrogen. When unsaturated fatty acids are hydrogenated, some of the hydrogen atoms are added on opposite sides of the molecule to the already attached hydrogen. Cis double bonds convert to trans double bonds, and the fatty acids become saturated.
Good FatsPolyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are the two unsaturated fats. They're found mainly in many fish, nuts, seeds and oils from plants. Some examples of foods that contain these fats include salmon, trout, herring, avocados, olives, walnuts and liquid vegetable oils such as soybean, corn, safflower, canola, olive and sunflower.Both polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats may help lower your blood cholesterol level when you use them in place of saturated and trans fats in your diet. But a moderate intake of all types of fat is best. Keep total fat intake between 25 and 35 percent of calories, with most fats coming from sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids such as fish, nuts and vegetable oils. 1. Fat
At every meal, you must eat an adequate amount of good fats. Good fats include Omega-3 EPA/DHA concentrates and monounsaturated fats like extra virgin olive oil, almonds, and natural peanut butter. Bad fats include trans fatty acids found in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils and Arachidonic Acid (AA) found in fatty red meats and egg yolks.
2. Protein
To keep your insulin levels in the Zone at every meal, you must always consume adequate amounts of low-fat protein (about the size of the palm of your hand or about 3 ounces for most females and 4 ounces for most males). A typical snack contains 1 ounce of protein for both women and men. The best protein sources are skinless chicken, fish, turkey, lean cuts of meat, low-fat dairy products, egg whites, protein powder and soy meat substitutes.
3. Carbohydrates
In addition to good fats and protein, you must also eat carbohydrates at every meal and snack. However, not all carbohydrates have the same effect on insulin levels. Starches (like pasta, potatoes and bread), grains and rice elevate insulin levels too much, whereas, most vegetables and fruits do not spike insulin levels (a few exceptions are corn, peas, bananas and dried fruits). While this doesn’t mean you have to completely eliminate starches, grains and rice from your diet, you must eat much smaller quantities of them compared to your intake of vegetables and fruits.
It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3.
The Zone 1-2-3 Method makes it simple to determine the fat, protein and carbohydrate content of every meal and snack. For every gram of fat you consume you need to eat twice as many grams of protein and 3 times that amount in grams of carbohydrates.
Meals for Females
At each meal consume approximately:
10 grams of fat
20 grams of protein (2x the fat grams)
30 grams of carbohydrate (3x the fat grams)Snacks for Females
At each snack consume approximately:
3 grams of fat
6 grams of protein (2x the fat grams)
9 grams of carbohydrate (3x the fat grams)Meals for Males
At each meal consume approximately:
15 grams of fat
30 grams of protein (2x the fat grams)
45 grams of carbohydrate (3x the fat grams)Snacks for Males
At each snack consume approximately:
3 grams of fat
6 grams of protein (2x the fat grams)
9 grams of carbohydrate (3x the fat grams)
The 1-2-3 method is an easy way to make sure you get the right balance of fat, protein and carbohydrates to “turn on” a fat-burning metabolism and satisfy hunger at the same time. Remember, the above numbers are approximate. So don’t worry about being 100% precise. Hunger control between meals and how your clothes fit are your best barometers for success.
Timing
Eat a Zone meal or snack within one hour after waking. To keep your insulin levels in the Zone so you are burning stored fat instead of accumulating it, eat every 4 to 6 hours after a meal or 2 to 2½ hours after a snack (including one at bedtime), whether you are hungry or not.Liquid
Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day.
