I need to see a nutritionist about weight loss program. I know major hospitals in Singapore offer it but I juz wanna know which one is the best. So far I've looked at Tan Tock Seng, Raffles Hospital, and Mount Alvernia. Please let me know (from what you've heard) which one is the best, or maybe you have some other suggestions to help me, please give me. Thankie~

from those three above its mount alvernia but not the best 1 in whole Singapore

I'm thinking about what college i want to go to, but i'm really confused.

I'm majoring in Health/Nutrition so im leaning towards more of a medical college..

AND what is the best college socially?? that has nice structure and a good rep?

The University of Texas at Austin would be my first choice, for a variety of reasons. They have a great nursing school and public health program, though I cannot specifically speak about nutrition. UT has a wonderful campus, as it is large, friendly and diverse. More importantly, you get to live in Austin, my favorite city in Texas. Good luck and Hook 'em Horns.

By the way, my second choice would be UT Houston Health Sciences. I have attended both.

With exact diets&nutrition for different weights?

The best site for fitness and bodybuilding nutrition is www.bodybuilding.com

It's a huge site, so it takes a while to figure out how to navigate through it, but it has everything.

Of course there are nutritional drinks which will help you gain weight.
1. Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard whey protein. Add some creatine if you like and blend with skim milk.
2. Designer Whey is another excellent source of protein. Try to stay away from off-brands.

It's best to follow a bodybuilding or toning program while using these drinks, although it is not absolutely necessary.

does anybody know the best way to get into sports physio/sports nutrition.
what corses did you study at college/university

The best thing to do is to visit college websites or a career counselor. And then go into the department webpage and look to see if they have this major. It can also be called Kinesiology (like it is at Fresno State and Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo-I believe). If you do the research for which schools offer the programs then you will have different colleges to choose from.
Normally, you start out with the lower division classes like the theories and the sciences like anatomy and physiology and basic nutrition. You also may have to take a class where you volunteer in the locker room and work with athletes or shadow coaches and professors in this major. After the lower division classes you begin to take the classes that are more geared towards which specialty you want to major and minor (if you want) in.
There are programs all over the United States that offer these majors. If you have some free time, research which schools you are interested in first to see if they offer your major and then go from there!
Good Luck!

Just wanted to tell people what I discovered on the Unos site. I was looking for calories for an entree and discovered that ALL their entrees list the nutritional information as having "2 servings." So one hamburger, one personal pizza, one fish entree, one side salad are all listed as being 2 servings… meaning it looks like you're eating half as much calories as you actually are!

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. It's just so ridiculous!

I cooked at an Uno in Cincinnati for 4 years.
They're corporate, that's for sure.
You make a very good point. What's more, you just know they did it that way solely to fool ppl! Sketchy!

I am looking to start taking Whey protein for the first time I am trying to bulk up about 20lbs. I was wondering which protein is better from the following Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey or GNC Pro Preformance 100% Whey or other???

I currently have a weight gainer and I just want to put on muscle mass

I use the Optimum Nutrition whey, but I plan on switching to the GNC brand for financial reasons. I think both taste and quality favor Optimum Nutrition, but if you are strapped for cash like myself, then I'd go with the GNC brand. Your best bet would be to try different brands. Some whey protein is rather irritating to my stomach, such as NitroTech. If money is an issue, then the GNC brand will work just fine for you.

Because it's an eating disorder.

am a 16 year old female weighing in at 124-130. I am 5' 3"- 5'4", and I participate in both figure skating and soccer. I normally should and try to skate at least 10 hours a week. I will start playing soccer 4 days a week again in March too. I am always very low in physical energy and I get joint and muscle pain. I have seen doctors, gotten blood tests and other exams but nothing is "wrong" with me, as of now at least. Fibromylgia has been a possibility, and i always hear someone mention depression, but currently I am sure it is not that. I have had 3 recent recommendations to change my diet. I am a picky eater who is normally to tired to focus on what I should eat instead of what I want so I am in a viscous circle.

My typical diet is:
Breakfast- Cereal (such as Multi-grain cheerios,) with fruit (strawberries, blue berries, bananas,) and sometimes caffeinated hot chocolate in attempt to wake myself up. Sometimes I have a muffin with a piece of fruit instead.
(continued)

Well,female athletes especially are prone to iron deficiency,so your going to have to keep some red meat in your diet. And not cut down on calories,just calories from fat.
You'll need lots of lean meat,turkey,chicken,tuna,ext, green veggies like spinach,broccoli,asparagus,. Also plenty of citrus fruits,they help absorb iron,I would stay away from caffeine as much as possible,because that blocks absorption of iron,and you'll be where you started if not worse.
Now try eating oatmeal,and cereals rich in wheat and vitamins,and adding fruit. Drink milk,water,and fruit and veggies juice,stay away from drinks high in sugar. Having a regulated sleeping pattern is important also. So your body is guaranteed to be able to recuperate those long hours of physical activity.

proper nutrition as in american nutrition? if thats what you mean then nope, they will get fatter.

What should I do so that I would be taller?
I am confident of my self, no matter what I am. This includes having and average height of 5 feet 8 inches. However, it is still nice to be little bit taller. Now, I am not one of those people that hope for things that they cannot get. No matter what I do, I probably would not grow more than two more inches. However, for me, that would make all the difference. So, what exercises would you recommend to me?

i would recommend jumping ropes and or any activity that includes jumping. you can grow taller.

What I mean by this is if a person is an athlete, how much does good nutrition help performance and development?

What is the best kind of workout routine?
How often should one run to optimize endurance? (Is everyday the best?)
How often should one lift weights? Every other day for upper body and every other day for legs?
How often should one do ab work? Everyday or every other day?
What are the best types of foods to eat for becoming a better athlete?

Take into account that I am a female who is already very active and has good fitness, but is looking to develop more for college soccer.

Nutrition is everything. It will provide with amino acids, vitamins and minerals necessary for the development of muscle and having a proper balance of electrolytes.

As far as weights, I would say skip them. When I played soccer, running a couple miles everyday was more than enough to develop toned legs but at the same time wasn't too much as to hinder ability on the field.

Lean protein like fish, chicken, turkey is always good for your fitness.

If you bring up their site and under nutrition facts for 1 donut it says 0 ( zero ) trans fats.. But then, in the ingredient section it says it uses partially hydrogenated soybean oil..

partially hydrogenated soybean oil is the same as a trans fat, right?

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that soybean oil is not a trans fat. If they were talking about coconut oil, then they'd be lying.

EDIT: Next time, please visit one of the Food & Drink forums for questions like this. Trans fats are not uppermost in the minds of the women here.

Hey, I'm studying nutrition right now (focus on Dietics). All the jobs anyone ever talks about is in hospitals, and frankly I HATE hospitals. I would love to do something more with food/healthy food/cooking, etc. I was wondering if anyone has graduated with this degree what you went on to do? Or have any ideas of jobs I could do in the future, or do now. Other than food, I love learning about the effects of vitamins/food on the skin, I would love to work for Olay or something like that someday. THanks!!!

Hey Val, I'm trying to get into the same field. Good luck with it.

lets say 30 kg of calcium
25 kg of protein
saturated fat from our fat.
these numbers are just examples and not true numbers
anyone know?

interesting question.
i also wonder what non-edible food item's nutrition facts would look like just out of curiousity. like does lotion have calories and does soap have sodium etc.

I bought the Weigh Loss Liquid Nutrition at Costco, Body Choice Nutrition makes it. Has anyone used it or had results from it. It's suppose to supress your appetite and give you more energy. This is what the website says it has in it…

This product contains a proprietary blend of all natural herbs, antioxidants, green tea, and other natural ingredients specially formulated to increase metabolism and promote a lean body. In addition, it is enriched with Hoodia Extract, a natural African appetite suppressant.

Hey there! Yes, i have used the nutrition drink and it does seem to suppress my appetite. Though, I haven't felt any difference energy wise.

Does the cell revive when nutrition stuffs are provided after a long long ….. break?

If the answer is yes then cells should not die out of hunger.

While some bacterial and fungal cells are able to form spores that survive periods of starvation, most cells, including ours, die without an energy supply.

ok how do i loose weight!! i cant go on diets i try but it never works!!

how do you loose wight in your thies especially!!!

o and biking and lundges, dont work they just make your thies more MUSCULAR i dont want that

help meeeeeeeee

Here I come to save the dayyyyyy!!!!!!

Ok, I'm not really a super hero, though I look like one in real life.

I'm a former body builder, and when I wanted to lose the fat I gained on my bulking cycles, I would go on a CKD (Cyclical Ketogenic Diet), which I don't recommend to anyone other than body builders.

As a personal trainer, I have helped people lose over 100 pounds, each. Since you don't like diets, just try to make better food choices. High protein, high fiber, and low carb.

Don't try to lose weight on a single spot. It doesn't work. Fat accumulates on your body like a big sheet. You can't take part of that sheet off. It just doesn't work that way.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you don't have an easy path ahead of you, and if you really want to lose weight, you'll have to step up and put in the work. There are no excuses and no web site will be the answer for you (though you should check out www.sparkpeople.com for motivation).

Plan ahead for the week. Pick a single lean protein, make that the main part of your meals, and cook enough for the whole week. For example, this week I'm doing fish. I cooked enough salmon and halibut on Sunday to last me through lunches and dinners, all week. Now, all I have to do is pop it in the microwave with a vegetable, and I'm set for a meal. My breakfast is almost always oatmeal with whey powder and ground flax seed added, with berries or fruit to flavor.

For snacks, I eat string cheeses, fruits, vegetables, and sometimes I "cheat" and have some lunch meat.

Lift light weights three times a week. If you don't have weights or belong to a gym, do body weight exercises. Don't concentrate on a single exercise or you'll overdevelop that body part (lunges/bicycling/etc). Do cardio three times a week with one of those times being HIIT (Interval Training).

Take a day to rest.

Drink TONS of water.

Get plenty of sleep at night.

Drink your milk.

Good Luck!
