Answer

Just google it.

Best extreme diets out there,do they work?

Im wanting to go on a diet, and my friend recently did the cambridge diet and she lost a lot of weight doing it. But I was wondering if there were any other diets out there that are similar, and if so has anyone tried them? I want to lose weight fast so I can get the breast reduction I so desperatley need. I know exercise plays a big part and I understand that, so any tips would be great, but I need exercise that doesn’t hurt my boobs.

Thank you

xoxo

Answer

In the first place, you don’t want to lose weight quickly, that messes up your bodily functions and can become dangerous. All you have to do is eat less, some say that if you eat a little every three or fours hours is better than three full meals, especially anyone that is a diabetic. Watch your fat and calorie intake, stay away from high sugar levels, drink plenty of water and instead of a running exercise, make it a fast pace walk. Just remember this, if it tastes really good and sweet, it’s no good for you. Eat more baked chicken and fish, stay away from reg. Coke or Pepsi an especially Mountain Dew, eat vegetables and salads with light dressings or vinegar and oil. Snack at night on fruit and drink more water, or a cup of green tea or decaffeinated tea sweetened with a sugar substitute. Drink skim Milk and put it on a cereal like Special K. When I was doing this, I would diet and exercise Monday thru Saturday. Sunday I would eat normal, but still walked, then Monday, back o
n my diet food. A fast pace walk is all the exercise you need, and ride a stationary bike some. Once you lose your weight, you’ll need to do some sit ups and small weight lifting, and just some basic exercise to firm up where you lost the weight. Wish for you the very best luck young lady.

Which is the best fitness dvd to buy?

im having to cancel my gym membership coz i cant afford it anymore

i want to stay fit so which fitness dvd should i buy?

i like dance workouts and things that are similar.

ive tried the davina dvd and just found her annoying.

Answer

The P90X its a 90 day challenge , ow its perfect , check it out i have one actually and my mom and i partake in it . It has two dvds but u must follow them in a certain order , from

1 dvd. intro tape , back and chest, plometrics ( to rasie your heart rate ) , shoulders and arms , yoga , legs and back , kenpo ( like kick boxing )

2. dvd Back and Biceps , Cardio X , X Stretch , Chest, Shoulders and Triceps .

Its a great challenge if you are willing to take it on and have that willpower and not lazy or get to tired. All you need to do though is make you also get your own mat , weights , plates, and stuff u will need in some of the workouts are a chair , water , mat etc .

But its not really with dance , and u dont have to follow the 90 day thing if u dont want , u can just do your own routine if u want ;)

Gym in st thomas?

what is the most convinient option for gym membership for someone who lives works and plays in the west side of st thomas?

paradise fitness is gone

Answer

There’s a new gym called Extreme Fitness.

All about P90x and Tony Horton’s 10-minute Trainer!!!!!?

Is P90x worth the money or is it something that is to hard so you just throw it in the corner and forget about it? Also how long do the exercises last and how fast do you see results, are you on a strict diet or anything? Is it for people who need to lose about 20 pounds and get in shape like me?

I also saw tony horton’s 10 minute trainer (same guy) and was wondering if that worked the same, does it take longer to lose weight and see results, which one would be better?

Also I would like to lose the 20 pounds and get in shape in about 3 months. Thank you!

Answer

P90x is difficult, but exercising and weight lose is, period.

M - Chest & Back - you need a chinup bar, DB’s and/or tubing. You will be doing a ton of pushups and various pullups.

W - Should/Bis/Tris - again you need DB’s and/or tubing

F - Back and Legs - more pullups and DB’s

M/W/F you do ab video - 16 minutes.

All the weight workouts are under 1 hour

T - Plyometrics (jump training) 1 hour

Th - Yoga 1hr 30 minutes

Sat - kickbowing

Sun - rest or stretch

4 weeks and then you change it up.

There is a diet program and you will see results in 2 weeks if you put forth the effort.

It will cost about $130 without the chinup bar or other assoccories.

Good luck, I loved it!

I am having nasty chest pains and can’t breathe properly… and I am only 20! Please help!?

I am only 20 years old. I am having chest pains quite frequently and at night and also heart pains. I have veru shallow breathing and ifind it hard to breathe especially before I fall asleep. I am VERY fit- I exercise daily and combine running, kick boxing, cycling and weight training. In morning I have a phlem build up from my chest in which I spit out lots of thick phlem off my chest and occasionally have a small bit of blood.Last year my friend woke me as I had chest pains and couldn’t breathe well and while asleep she heard my breathing stop. When I woke I couldn’t move I was in so much chest pain and was sat on floor with head between my kness before ambulance arrived. They said it was nothing and I thought they were useless as it clearly IS something. Even my kick boxing partner noticed I ‘don’t breathe’ while exercising’ its not that I dont more so that I breathe so so shallow. Please help!

Answer

They said it was nothing? WTF kind of people are working there?! You need to go to your doctor or to the ER. Demand that they find out what is really wrong with you.

How do I get abs and get rid of love handles/obliques? What workouts are best?

I know I have to lower body fat. I eat 5-6 small meals a day. I do 3 days of strength training and 3 days of 20 min cardio workouts. I also do ab workouts on the 3 days of strength training and 8 minute abs (youtube) on my cardio days. What can I do to eliminate my obliques/love handles and reveal my abs? Any info would help. I’ve went from 211 to 197 in the past 8 weeks.

Answer

Keep at it and vary your workouts.

Variety of exercise is the key I have found. For example..an exercise called Mountain Climbers.

Mountain climbers are done by starting in a pushup position

and then shuffling your feet in and out so that your knees are

moving in under your chest and then back out to starting

position. It sort of resembles climbing a mountain but flat on

the floor. If you want an advanced version, you can also shuffle your hands 8-10 inches forward and backward in

addition to the leg movements. This really makes it a full

body exercise and MUCH more difficult than standard mountain climbers.

After finishing each exercise, rest about 30 seconds before

starting the next exercise. Rest about 1-2 minutes after

completing each “tri-set” before repeating.

This will give you one of the best ab workouts you’ve ever had

without even doing any direct ab exercises. You’ll see what I

mean after you try it!

Once you get away from the myth that a 1000 crunches and 500 situps a day is all you need to do for great abs, then amazing results can be seen.

There is a completely free 65 page ebook about exercise, nutrition, abs and stomaches in particular at http://www.projext.co.uk that you can download (no catch!) and it is excellent.

It helped me greatly.

24/7 gym membership price?

what is the normal 1-month cost for a membership….and can you buy them just one month at a time?

Answer

Mines $50 per month at my local Gold’s Gym, a little steeper then the others but worth it. I use to attend planet fitness and it was super cheap ($10 a month) but the place was so packed i had to wait to use machines and what not. So where ever you decide to go definitely look into it. Good Luck!

Exercising for extreme fitness

That perfectly toned body does not require you to put an end to your social life and spend hours and hours doing those strenuous weight trainings in the gym. What comes to aid is a regular full body work out. A regular full body work out not only gets you that perfect muscular body but also comes with several added advantages, it not only helps you save time by cutting down on the amount of time spent at the gym but also prevents burnouts apart from boosting the cardiovascular system which leads to extreme fitness. What cuts down the time is that one needs to spend around an hour in the gym three times a week and that is what makes it a quality workout rather than concentrating on the quantity.

The biggest advantage of having to train only thrice a week is that it gives ample time to do cardiovascular exercises during spare time that ends up adding to the efficiency of the exercise regime. One thing that is very crucial is heavy weight lifting. Desired results can only be achieved with heavy weights; light weights would not serve the purpose here. Another thing to be kept in mind is to target one muscle group at one time.

The secret behind the success of this regime is that it not only boosts testosterone levels but at the same time also increases levels of cortisol in the body, both of which help you get that dream body by building your muscles.

Stomach ulcers?

ANSWER :

Hi Casey K, signs of a stomach ulcer can include nausea, loss of appetite, abdominal pain just beneath the ribcage, indigestion, vomiting, symptoms of anemia, weight loss, and blood present in vomit or bowel movements.

If you experience these symptoms for any length of time, it is important to seek medical attention. These are not symptoms to be ignored.

Stomach ulcers occur when there is a break in the tissue lining of the stomach. These ulcers normally occur in the stomach or the first part of the small intestine that leads out of the stomach, called the duodenum.

Treatment options for stomach ulcers can consist of over the counter medications, prescription medications, modifying your diet, perhaps a lifestyle change that includes the addition of exercise and reduction of stress, and as a last result, surgery.

Quick and Rapid weight loss

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

If a slimmer and sexier body is your dream then this is not a high ambition. Many people have succeeded in sculpting their physiques to make them look healthy and desirable. However, this goal is not reached in just a piece of cake or skipping a night and dinner. For some people do, patience is not a virtue. They do not seem to be able to afford so much attention, time and money to obtain compensation from the authority they have always wanted. As a result of these people lead to rapid weight loss practices and programs that might not be as effective as these people are led to believe they are.

Fast-track diet is one of those rapid weight loss practices which may not be very inviting as they seem, according to the study. Fast-track diet programs, such as scientific research shows, are only good while they last. Rapid weight loss often results ironically, to rapid weight gain. people who have been subjected to a low carbohydrate or low calorie diets usually revert back to old eating habits just because humans can not actually live with this type of diet for the rest of their lives.

Now there is scientific research has shown that rapid weight loss does not imply an individual loses unwanted excess fat, it is generally water that has been lost with the following rapid weight loss practices. This can lead to certain alarm, but actually, water is lost very quickly restored. So there is actually zero net weight lost after all. So it should not be foolish enough to do so gullible with the advertising of certain diet pills that are in the market, especially those claiming to aid lose no less than an amount of fat in a short time. They will only dehydrate the body. And just as clearly, the body can only lose two kilos of fat per week, an exception might be lucky if he can lose three, but normally, and only two .

Another rapid weight loss product on the market slimming soap. Claiming that these soaps are made from a unique concoction of rare chinese herbs and seaweed, they claim to help people using them to shed off body fat emulsifying by them at the request while taking a bath. Some are even specialized such as those who promise to give the user beautiful thighs. The ingredients may be helpful for improving the quality of the skin, but no investigation has ever come to the aid of demonstrating the efficacy of these ingredients in emulsifying excess body fat.

A more rapid weight loss product there in the market promises to suppress hunger while contributing to an improvement of the body and metabolism. He also claims to be able to accelerate the healing process and the reduction of certain physical pain, all these plus it is a very chic fashion accent. Well they actually called magnetic weight loss earrings.

The secret of this set of earrings in the magnet, so it says. Wearing them near the ears of the magnetism balances in the body so one will experience all the above consequences. Although press reports say that there are actually studies to back this allegation, yet nothing was found in the medical journals. Although the purchase of a set may not kill a person, and probably not a wise investment. One can also wearing a horse shoe earring for a more sophisticated fashion statement .

Bottom line is no pain, no gain. If one wants a beautiful body, one must sweat it out. And as for that rapid weight loss products on the market if they are too good to be true, they are probably not.

2. Keep your stretching position for more than 60 seconds to increase flexibility. Keep your position 20 seconds is enough for warm-ups that every position at least 60 seconds, the development of the body and flexibility .

3. Go never in a position that extends beyond immediate return to the relaxed position, and do it repeatedly. This is better described as returns, while in a position.

Teenagers and whey protein for building muscle and gaining weight?

Hi,

I have several questions regarding a teenager who is trying to build muscle when going to the gym.

First, he wants to gain some weight so he can “bulk up” (not gain weight and get fat). He eats a lot, but just cannot gain weight. Would whey protein be good for this.

Also, he is trying to build muscle and get the most out of his workouts at the gym. A trainer said to have 1 whey protein shake an hour? before the workout, and another one directly after working out. Will this help build muscle? Is this healthy? Is this the correct amount to have? Also, how long should he have the whey protein for… every time working out… until we see some results (in muscle and in weight gain)? Should he weene off taking it or just stop? Will the results stay, or will he rely on having whey protein every time he works out.

Sorry for all the questions… your help is greatly appreciated.

Answer

a lot of protein is great, too much protein does nothing( the excess protein will just not be absorbed and will exit the body)

take roughly 1.5 times the amount you way in pounds a day. slowly over the day. The body can, again, roughly, absorb 30-35 grams of protein at a time. It is a good idea to drink a protein shake and have a carb source such as a banana before work out and after work out. Have another low carb hi protein shake right before you go to bed to refuel your muscels when yo uare asleep. That is when your muscles need the protein the scond most, the first most important time would be right after a workout(within an hour of end of training)

Just keep working out and pushing yourself harder and adding more weight, 4-5 days a week at max 1 hour sessions. remember the exercise should burn during the last reps of each set. Goodluck!

Best maximuscle supplement for building muscle?

looking at geting some maximuscle which type is best.

Answer

Well, it depends on what exactly you’re looking for. According to their website, they’ve got 11 different products in their “build muscle” section. They have proteins, creatines, combinations (mostly with protein and other things), meal replacement bars, ZMA, etc. All of those can be used together if you wanted to, but you may want to buy from other companies that don’t charge as much for the simple ingredients (like the ZMA and Creatine at least).

Protein is basic fuel for your body and all muscles. Creatine is quick energy for your muscles. Meal replacement bars… well, that says it in the name. ZMA helps to boost Testosterone levels.

Each of those help different aspects of your workout and can help build muscle in their own way. I’d suggest taking a look at their website to see what’s available.

What are the best foods to eat for building muscle?

And what are are the best drinks?

thx ^-^

Answer

The basic norm for Muscle Building foods is “Eat, Eat and then eat some more”. Lets discover what to eat Now.

 

When eating to build muscle mass don’t get too fancy. The list below contains the best Muscle building foods proven to add pounds of muscle to your body.

 

The Best Muscle Building Foods

 

Any food that has high quantity of carbs and protein qualifies itself as best muscle building food. The best way to ensure that you get adequate muscle building nutrition is to combine 2 high quality sources of carbs and protein.

 

High Quality Muscle Building Carbohydrates

 

Carbohydrates are Muscle sparing nutrients. The body uses carbs for energy and muscles are filled with glycogen as well. Quality carbs will help you with high energy so vital for Muscle building workouts.

 

Complex carbs are the best as they are slow releasing. Simple carbs like fruit juices, energy drinks should be restricted to around workouts period as they provide immediately useable energy { insulin spike }, which if not used will be stored as fat.

 

The Best Complex Carbs

 

Bread

Brown rice

Oatmeal

Bagel

Pasta

Cereals

Potatoes

 

The Best Simple Carbohydrates

 

Fruits like Apple, Orange, Grapes, Raisins and Mango

Honey

High energy carb drinks

High Quality Muscle Building Proteins

 

Protein are regarded as the building blocks of Muscle. Not all foods contain enough proteins and their protein completeness also differs. Vegetarian diets have to be combined to get all essential amino acids in order to make a complete protein meal.

 

Without sufficient protein you guarantee failure. So make sure you eat one of the listed protein every meal.

 

The Best Protein Foods

 

Chicken breast

Turkey

Tuna

Egg whites

Cottage cheese

Yogurt

Protein Shakes

High Quality Fats

 

High quality essential fatty acids help the production of testosterone and hundreds of biological functions in the body.

 

The magical omega-3 fatty acids required for this can be found in the below listed foods.

The Best Fat Foods

 

Flaxseed oil

Olive oil

Udo’s choice

Cod-liver oil

High quality Energy Drink - Water

 

There is no replacement for water. Colas and alcohol cannot. Only Water means water.

 

Not many people drink enough water, not many people get the Muscle gain results they want either.

 

One Last Tip

 

Remember “Eat, Eat and then eat some more”. Your Muscle Building Gains will not disappoint you.

Building Muscle?

How can i build up my strength fairly quickly, preferably without supplements, particularly my legs? Where could I download a decent workout? What exercises would you recommend?

Answer

very simple…. every muscle needs to be worked out once a week….

for the legs do squats, leg presses, hamstring curls and calf raises…..

Whats the best muscle building supplement on the market today?

Answer

I use N.O.-Xplode before work outs and drink a Whey protein shake after work outs…and it seems to be working fine. N.O.-Xplode basically allows more oxygen to get to your muscles when working out, therefore allowing you to get more reps in each set. You can def. tell a difference the first time you use it. And taking protein after helps rebuild your muscles after tearing them down during a workout.

Difference between strength training and building muscle?

Is there a way to do both? build muscle and build your strength, and can you show me the difference between the 2. To build strength you do alot of weight and fewer reps but more sets right? so like 5 reps but like 6 sets of it? i’m just looking for how many sets/reps you should do for strength training and building muscle. just differences

Answer

You are talking about the same thing, strength training is building muscle. How else would you get stronger, by putting on fat?? Yes, typlically to lift heavier weight you will want to do less reps with more weight. But dont overdo it. It is easy to injur yourself if you are not training all of the muscles needed to perform an excercise eaqually. Dont neglect the importance of your arms and back in performing chest excercises etc.

What is better for building muscle, creatine or whey protein?

Answer

Whey protein hands down. To build muscle you need to get several things straight: your workout, rest, and nutrition. Nutrition is probably the most important. If you’re not eating enough, you’re not going to grow. The most important macronutrient for building muscle is protein, and different sources will tell you you need different amounts, but the general “number” accepted by bodybuilders and weightlifters (e.g. not doctors and researchers) is 1g/lb bodyweight. So if you weigh 170lbs, you should aim for at least 170g protein a day. Drink lots, and lots of water, even if you aren’t thirsty, so that this does not task your kidneys.

So, whey protein is essential as it helps you get your diet in check. Creatine is extra, like icing on the cake. It can help you make great strength and muscle gains, and even though you will lose some of it when you get off creatine, your hard earned muscle will not just “disappear” contrary to what a lot of people think. Creatine does make you gain some water weight, but not all of it is just “water.” Also, newer formulations such as creatine dichelate, creatine magnesium chelate, etc. (a lot of time has passed since just normal creatine monohydrate years ago) transport the creatine better into the muscles so that it doesn’t get trapped just under your skin and give you the dreaded “creatine bloat.”

Do bodyweight exercises burn fat while building muscle? and is it a great way to get rdy for lifting weights?

is that True or should i just start lifting? im 16 yrs old btw

Answer

At 16 bodyweight is the IDEAL way to get yourself ready for heavy lifting. Your bones arent formed properly at 16 and heavy lifting can actually stunt your growth or cause permanent damage. Where as body weight will keep you strong, and in the condition you would need to be in to play most sports.

You may want to also take up pilates (bodyweight exercises) or yoga (which will increase your flexibility, reducing the amount of injury you are likely to cause yourself).

If building muscle…?

should i limit my cardio so i don’t lose my muscle???…i am 14 and a hockey player..i want to build muscles and increase speed wat should my weight time and cardio time look like. e.g 1 hour daily weights and 20 mins cardio

Answer

Don’t lift every day. But one hour is good, 3, 4 times a week. I’m not sure as to whether cardio will make you lose muscle. Cardio will slow your metabolism down, while if you gain muscle mass, that will speed it up. If you eat a lot and your metabolism is slowing down, that might help you gain weight. But if you burn too many calories while doing cardio, you might lose weight. If you do a lot a lot of cardio that will make you lose weight also because of the way it trains your muscles. But I don’t think 20 min a day would be bad at all. More than 60 min every day would be bad. But 20-30 min sounds good. Good luck!

Wat anabolic steroids caqn i take for building muscles?

wer can i buy them from in india , chennai

Answer

I suggest none. No steroids are safe, because you never know what you are getting. About the safest you can get to taking roids is if you have a verrrry good friend that has been taken them for a while. Get them from him, but remember, there still not safe, he doesnt know who made them, and he doesn’t know what in them.

My suggestion keep workin out, get ya some protein and creatine!!

 Small Ways to Lose a Big Belly

1. Fried foods are garbage. Potato chips, French fries and onion rings are pregnant with saturated fat and calories, yet they contain zero healthy or muscle-promoting nutrients. If you’re on a fat-loss plan, simply eliminate fried foods. That alone will allow you to shed lard quickly

2. Drink a glass of skim milk as soon as you wake up. Some quick protein before you even step into the shower will energize you and end those morning cravings for Egg McMuffins and pastry.

3. Do 2 minutes of pushups every morning. It’s tough to exercise as soon as you roll out of bed, but you can burn off 21 calories a day–2 1/2 pounds in a year.

4. Toss a quart of water in your briefcase. Water helps you burn calories–96 calories just by carrying a bottle while you walk for 20 minutes. Serve it over ice in your office and your body will burn 31 calories warming it to 98.6. Then there’s the aerobic effect of all those bathroom runs.

5. Want to look better naked? Try drinking half as much alcohol. Alcohol contains calories. You may drink like a fish, but booze isn’t water. Even a light beer has more than 100 calories. Booze makes you store fat. Your body sees alcohol as a poison, and tries desperately to get rid of it. Your liver stops processing all other calories until it has dealt with the alcohol. So anything else you eat during the time you’re drinking is more likely to end up as fat. Alcohol also lowers testosterone. With more abdominal fat, testosterone drops.

Diet Fitness

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Many people today are much more aware of their own health and fitness. In addition, these people, and many others, are now with that desire to sculpt their bodies to ahieve that magazine-cover look. As a result, gyms, spas and other health fitness centers have proliferated across to meet the needs of the fitness buffs and lovers .

Even on the television fitness equipment, weight loss products and other paraphernalia to improve fitness have more or less gained control over the airwaves and their way into the households. But exerise is not the only way to that body beautiful. It also means that part of the responsibility of the food choice to eat. Because the healthy and fit doing a diet also requires fitness.

Diet fitness is just as essential as exercise itself. Diet for fitness gives the food an essential needs to restore worn-out muscles and a healthy growth. Diet fitness should never be taken for granted. With the popularity of keeping fit, many different views, methods, programs and diet strategies have been formulated by many professionals. These include high-carbohydrate diets and high fat diets. Whih a more effective and which one must choose to follow?

The first thing to know would be the fundamental differences between these two approaches diet. As the name indicates, high-carbohydrate diet focuses on taking carbohydrate-rich foods, while high-fat diets endorses fat-rich foods. High-carbohydrate diets have been used to glycogen stored in the liver and muscles. Glycogeen is a complex glucose that large amounts of energy ready for use in anaerobic exercises .

Fats, on the other hand, accounts for nown is the richest source of calories. It actually contains 2.5 times more calories than carbohydrates and proteins at each other. Studies also show that the body 24 calories to metabolize carbohydrates, while only 3 to burn down fat. So which one to follow? A person can follow a high carbohydrate and low fat diet fitness or vice versa. It is absolutely not advisable to both simultaneously, unless of course if you want to gain body fat.

But then diet fitness is not all about the loss of fat, one must also take account of their diet, so bold way. Research shows that sustainable loss of weight can only be reached on a diet that suits the individual food preferences, lifestyle, medical profile and satiety signals.

Fitness programs everywhere can help you shed from excess pounds, but only one diet can help you stay sexy, and it is one that you most satisfied. Other important elements of a diet fit moderation, balance and variation. One must be careful not to leave important nutrients and other substances for the healthy body works. Health organisations are clear about the quantities of nutrients an individual should have the body .

Low Fat high sugar, low-fat high-sugar, the question is not the diet program will work, but it is the work for you. The quest for a sexy and healthy body does not have to burden an individual, health, fitness, nutrition does not mean that the same type of food for life. You can also try to adventurous and testing of new foods out there. Who knows? You may even discover spinach interesting.

Weight Gain Faq

Opposite of Weight Loss FAQ :)

Does the weight gain typically speed up during the last 2 months or does it slow down?

7.5 months preggo with baby girl. What end were you guys on with the weight gain?

Answer :

I gained the most weight the last month or so

Pregnancy Weight Gain?

How much weight did you gain your first trimester? I am 7 weeks 3 days and have gained about 1/2 a pound. Is this ok or to much?

Answer :

Sounds good to me.I was wondering how you was doing.Take care of yourself.

Which is the best antidepressant that will not cause weight gain?

Answer :

I agree wellbutrin is an effective antidepressant that works well without weight gain or sexual side effects for most people and is generally well tolerated. Like someone else said which ever works best for you, as each person reacts differently to certain medications.

Wellbutrin XL is now available in generic (the SL has been generic for years). I find I tolerate the extended release tablet once a day tablet much better than the slow release which you need to take more frequently.

Statistics: Best formula for average weight gain?

I did a survey of nearly 1000 people. In the survey I have the starting weight and ending weight (the participants were trying to gain weight).

What is the best formula for eliminating the most errors in finding the average weight gain?

Right now I am using the standard elementary formula for finding a mean: (Total weight gain by all participants/ number of participants).

Is there a more accurate way? I find that a few participants are throwing off the average, probably because they reported wrong (the survey was online).

Answer :

The most accurate way, if you have the before and after results (paired test), of each subject is to perform a hypothesis Z-test on the DIFFERENCES of before and after weights. Analyzing it this way, there can be no outliers and the differences in the starting weights is eliminated.

Your test statistic is Z = Dbar/(sd/vn)

Where Dbar is the average difference weight gain and is compared against a 0 weight gain.

sd is the standard deviation of the differences.

The critical Z value depends on your a-risk.

I need your opinions on weight gain PLEASE?

I’m 5ft, I weigh just over 6 stone. I am unhappy with my size, I want fuller breats, a bigger bum & definately know I need more meat on me.

I do eat like a pig, however, I have fast metabolism and I can’t seem to gain weight.

My family suggested eating atleast 4000/5000 Calories per day if I want to gain weight because that may work?

But - I don’t really know what foods are best to eat to help me reach 4000/5000 Calories if I only eat (normally) 2 hot meals a day & then snacks all through out.

Would it be best if I tried eating 3 hot meals a day?

And snacked 15-20 minutes in between or what?

I really want to gain weight, I feel uncomfortable with my size. I don’t look super skinny, I am in proportion but I would feel more comfy if I was atleast a size 8 or 10. (Currently a UK size 4, which is a US size 0)

I’m not sure if I can get pills or liquids to take from my doctor to sort out my metabolism?

Please help, It would be much appreciated!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Answer :

you would be very silly to eat 5000 cals a day, you will do yourself more harm than good, your heart will not be able to stand the sudden change in diet and no doubt your arteries will start to clog prematurely..my brother had this same problem and he went to a health food store and bought food supplement that weight lifters ect use, but didnt do any excercise, he manages to put on a few extra pound..theree are lots of people out there who are trying to lose weight but people dont appreciate what it is like to be under weight, and its not usualy because of under eating………if you really need to do this then i stress to you, please try to do it healthily and not just eating crap cos thats not good…hope this helps x

What is the best weight loss method for diabetics type 1?

It is known that insulin creates weight gain so what can a diabetic do to lose weight? Is there a better insulin system or pills which can be added aside from Metformin? Thanks for all replies.. cherie

Answer :

Insulin plays a major role in weight gain, and even keeps us from losing weight. Insulin is responsible for the storage of all the foods we eat: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. However, high glycemic carbohydrates cause blood sugars to rise very rapidly, therefore causing the pancreas to release insulin very rapidly. In some people the body overcompensates and releases too much. The insulin will store these carbohydrates/sugars very quickly. The good side is you get a quick burst of energy; the bad side is most of what is eaten will be stored as fat. Since the blood sugars rose very rapidly, the insulin will try to bring the blood sugars within normal ranges very rapidly, causing the sugars to be pushed by the insulin into every cell, including fat cells. On the other hand, if you eat low-to-moderate glycemic carbohydrates, blood sugars rise more slowly; therefore so does insulin. When this happens more of what you ate is pushed into your body’s cells to be used for energy, and w
hatever is left over will be stored in fat cells. Weight loss programs ensure how to control insulin and blood sugar levels so optimal weight loss results will be achieved.

Insulin activates lipoprotein lipase. This enzyme acts as a roadblock for the removal of triglycerides (fat) out of the fat cells. Insulin also inhibits another enzyme called hormone sensitive lipase. This enzyme is responsible for the breaking down of stored fats, on your waist so to speak. During exercise if insulin levels are high, your body will use more energy from carbohydrates/sugars than from fat. Now you can see why most people see very little or no results in weight reduction, even though they exercise. The key is to control your insulin and blood sugars levels

Which is worse? Gain fast or lose fast?

I have heard many people say it’s dangerous to lose weight fast but what about all those people that gained weight fast.

I think rapid weight gain is more common than rapid weight loss.

Answer :

You know it’s interesting, I was in your same situation about 3 months ago (during Christmas time), and it wasnt until a friend told me about http://www.findhowtoloseweightfast.com that I was able to get a solid answer!

Basically a group of people are reviewing all the different weight loss methods that ARE working, from herbal supplements to diet strategies. My mom (who is in her late 50s) lost about 20lbs over the last 2 months through a diet plan they recommended.

I lost 45lbs!! Of course I “cheated” and went the herbal supplement pill route, but I chose the same one Oprah now uses, so to each their own right :)

Good luck either way! Tons of information to success out there!

Diet has ronaldinho’s weight gain issues under control????!!!!?

DID ANYBODY NOTICED THAT HE PUT FIVE-KILOS ON WEIGHT SINCE THE START OF THE LIGA CAMPAIGN???

I didn’t!!! but under the new weight-loss regime, Ronaldinho reportedly has lost close to three kilos and is approaching his ideal weight once more!

BUT WAS THAT THE REASON WHY DINHO HAS BEEN SLOW OFF THE MARK IN THE 2006/07 SEASON?

HOW MANY PER CENT WOULD U GIVE RONNIE AT THE MOMENT?

I would say 80% but I hope he will be 100% soon!!!

SOMEBODY TELL RONNIE TO GO JOGGING OR STOP GOING OUT WITH RONALDO AT MC DONALDS,OR SOMETHING!!! just kidding…I’m sure he doesn’t do that and that he is still a sweet goody!!! LOVE HIM!!!

he’s got a match today against mallorca and I’m gonna pay attention at every sign of fat and see if it’s true or not!

~peace allz~

Answer :

“SOMEBODY TELL RONNIE TO GO JOGGING OR STOP GOING OUT WITH RONALDO AT MC DONALDS,OR SOMETHIN” <<<< this statment from you made my day! this is so hilarious. hahaha. you are so adorable especially the way you care for “your” Ronnie.

I have noticed myself he was little bit out of shape but I am not really all that concerned. Real Madrid and Brazil have their own physical fitness team and I am sure they must have brought it to Ronaldinho’s attention. Plus he has been the top scorer for Real Madrid this season so he seems to be enjoying his game with Real Madrid. IT IS ONLY WHEN HE IS PALYING WITH BRAZIL SOMETHING GOES WRONG- HE JUST IS NOT AT HIS BEST! It really puzzles me but Ron is Ron. A True Soccer Genius but at the same time I hope he starts shedding the pounds which I am sure he hass been doing.

Added : LOL …..You are totally right! I confused myself there for a second. Just replace Real Madrid with Barcelona and You will get what I am saying. I know you were talking about Ronaldinho but for some unknown reasons instead of using Barcelona, I was using Real Madrid…In fact, I was tired last nite when I wrote the answer. So, I lost my concentration a bit.

Thanks for the Correction!!!!

What is the best weight loss supplement on the market?

I am trying to lose weight. Have been for 4 years. I am a vegetarian and i know the right things to eat. I exercise 5 days a week including cardio and weight training i still to this day havent lost over 20 lbs. And it yo-yos . i want to try something new. Please let me know thanks.

ANSWER :

They are all expensive and a waste of time. The best way is the natural way. Eat less calories, do more exercise. If your are honestly doing both of these things on a consistent basis and you still aren’t losing any weight, get a checkup to make sure there is nothing physically wrong (like thyroid problem) that is keeping you from losing.

And don’t believe that “cell cleansing crap”. It’s just making someone rich and is a scam.

Weight loss taking Lamictal?

I just recently started taking Lamictal for bi polar disorder. I’m only on the 50mg because I just started taking it about 2 and a half weeks ago and my mood has been great so far, but me and my girlfriend have just been noticing that my appetite has changed and my weight has just gone down ever since I started taking it. I’m not exactly the type that should be losing weight either. I’m 17 years old, about 5′2″ and I usually weight around 105 lbs. Lately though, my weight just keeps going down and down and now I weigh about 97 lbs. I love the way the medication is working on me psychologically, but physically, it feels like it’s sucking the life out of me. I don’t know if I should just talk to my psychiatrist about it or ask my therapist on our thursday meeting about it and see what he thinks. Is it normal for me to lose weight as a beginning stage of taking this medication? Or is it something I need to look into and start taking a different medication?

ANSWER :

I suggest mentioning it to your doctor. If you are like me when I am happy and feeling great I lose weight. And the opposite when I’m depressed. Lamictal itself usually will not affect your weight either way. It will not prevent you from losing weight as most drugs do and does not increse appetite. It could simply be that you are losing weight because you feel great. In any case discuss it with you psychiatrist not your therapist, I know mine are very clear as to who I should talk to regarding the medical aspect of it(eg:medications) and let him know what is going on. Good luck, I hope I’ve helped a bit.

How to deal with people/situations that could sabotage weight loss?

Trying to lose weight (unsuccessfully) and notice with all the best intentions, my efforts go to pot at work and with family (that’ll be most of the day, then :-))

If a friend wants to go for lunch, I usually agree to get out of the office - then end up eating crap food (work in a very very backward town).

Our office is terrible for people bringing cakes in and I can’t stop myself.

And my parents buy snacks sometimes and I can’t say no.

Any advice?!

ANSWER :

Recruit! Tell your friends and family what your goals are and how they can specifically help you reach those goals.

Mom, I’m really trying to lose weight and it would make my life so much easier if you could not keep ______(fill in the really tempting snack here) in the kitchen until my willpower is stronger.

Next ask the girls at work to do lunch with you, and pack some healthy stuff for everyone. At lunch tell them what you are trying to do, and see if you can’t all pack lunches together.

Social support is the number one factor in how successful a person is in making lifestyle changes!
