Question 2

Reduce calories: To less than you burn off so that you can lose weight. Don't increase or restrict any dietary component (protein fat or carbohydrate) too severely. Eat a healthy and well-balanced diet, coupled with exercise. Talk to a good dietitian for advice.

Question 3

i am looking for help. i am naturally skinny but wanted to put on weight. whats an eexample diet plan i could use. i really don't understand carbs etc.

Accepted Answer

Skinny is good: If you are otherwise healthy, being skinny is not an illness and do not try to put on weight. Soon enough you will start gaining weight and miss this time when you could eat what you wanted and not gain weight. Eat a mixed diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, low fat milk products; low in saturated fates, no tobaco and no more than one drink a day, exercise 30 minutes a day.

Question 4

i am currently on medifast a diet plan that is 800-1000 calories a day and 75-85 carbs im on a night schedule need to flip it around is it save to not eat to stay up all night and flip my schedule or should i eat?

Accepted Answer

You need energy: to fuel your activities when you are awake. The Medifast program can work but it is a very low amount of calories and you need to eat all of them. Take in about 200 calories every two hours while you are awake, whether it is at night or during day. It will be OK to go without food when you are sleeping. Hope this helps...Good wishes:)

Get a Check up: Maybe you have an underactive Thyroid gland. Need to see a doctor for check up and labs.

Question 7

are triglycerides of 224 a major concern? have been dieting, lost 30 lbs, am on low carb diet. what should i change?

Accepted Answer

No, however...: Congratulations on your diet and weight loss!
That mild elevation of triglycerides is still a sign of excess weight, too many carbs, insulin resistance and/or is genetic, but isn't particularly hazardous in and of itself.
Keep doing what you're doing and it will continue to lower. To reduce further exercise, take chromium picolinate or polynicotinate 200 mcg/day and esp. pantethine 600-900 mg/day.

Question 8

what happens to your body if you are consantly dieting on a low calorie and low carb diet, can you gain body fat easier in the long run?

Accepted Answer

No: Insulin is a growth hormone for fat cells.  if you eat a diet that requires little insulin (low carb) you don't grow fat.  It is the sugar that makes you fat not the fat you eat.

Question 9

will low carb diet help pcos patients if they are lean? i'm lean,but when i was low carb dieting and lost even 15pounds, my period got more regular.

Accepted Answer

Yes: With PCOS, you have insulin resistance. that means you have to make more insulin to control your blood sugar. The higher per levels of insulin then effect the ovaries. By lowering your carbohydrate intake, you will keep your insulin level down and you are more likely to ovulate on your own.

Question 10

please suggest what foods have carbs that you should cut out when dieting?

Accepted Answer

Sugar, processed: You should avoid processed foods, and simple sugars. You want complex carbohydrates that are high in fiber to make your meals more satifying. They are found in beans, legumes, fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Grains stripped of their fiber, like white rice, and bleached flour are not healthy choices.
