Question 1

is no carb diet healthy?

Accepted Answer

Low carb diet: Best way to loose weight is to reduce carbs.  Not sure you can reduce it to zero however.

Question 2

is the nitritarian diet healthy?

Accepted Answer

Nutritarian healthy: I have never heard of a "nitritarian" diet but dr. Joel fuhrman's nutritarian is the diet i recommend most to my patients. It's a superb diet not only for weight loss but for maintaining optimal health. Even if you don't follow it exactly, if you eat like this most of the time you will benefit. So yes, 2 thumbs up for this diet! see http://www.Drfuhrman.Com/library/what-is-a-nutritarian-diet.Aspx.

Question 3

is a juicing diet healthy?

Accepted Answer

Depends on "diet": Juicing is generally considered a healthy way to consume additional fruits and vegetables.  It should not, however, be the sole source of nutrients.  Juicing should be a part of a balanced diet consisting of lean proteins, complex carbohydrates (including fruits and vegetables) and unsaturated fats.

Question 4

is a vegetarian diet healthy?

Accepted Answer

Controversial: This is a topic that i dont think there is a straightforward answer for! a vegetarian diet can be healthy because you lower your saturated fat intake from animal fat!  however, it is not the end all answer to eating healthy! I have encountered many obese vegetarians and vegetarians with terrible cholestrol panels.  I believe a well balanced diet with lean meets can be just as healthy or healthier!

Question 5

is a green tea diet healthy / safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I in favor of green tea.I opine it has health benefits like relaxation , anti-oxidant activity and it is mostly water.

Question 6

how can i eat healthy enough to repair any damage from bad diet?

Accepted Answer

Just do it: The benefits of a healthy diet and reasonable weight loss can slow down or reverse amny of the bad effects of a poor diet and obesity.

Question 7

is a vegan diet healthy?

Accepted Answer

If done carefully: There is limited research but a careful vegan diet can be very healthy; vegan diets reduce risk of obesity, high blood pressure, lower cholesterol &amp; likely reduce cancer risk. However, certain nutrients such as vitamin B12, carnitine, taurine &amp; DHA are difficult to obtain with a vegan diet so should be supplemented. See https://vegetarian-nutrition.info/vegan-diets-pros-cons/ for more info.

Question 8

is a cheese, beans and rice diet healthy?

Accepted Answer

No, yes, no: Cheese and other dairy products can no longer be considered healthy if they come from hormone fed cows. Yes from non-hormone fed goats. Beans, lentils, chick peas are very healthy. White rice has little nutrients other than those required to be added back by us law. Brown rice is somewhat better but go for quinoa for the best side dish.

Question 9

is an all fruits and vegetable diet healthy or do you need bread, eggs, etc?

Accepted Answer

You need variety...: Fresh fruits and veggies are good in general because they provide some good vitamins/nutrition, but as human we cannot digest cellulose--the main component in veggies/fruits, which the cows/horse can. They can turn grass/hays into proteins/meats, we cannot. A variety of food types is recommended--see the pyramid for example. Consult your doc/nutritionist. Live well, melani6. Good luck.

Question 10

what's a safe, effective and quick diet for a 18 year old female? be more specific than eat healthy and exercise.i want lose 10-15 pounds.

Accepted Answer

Eat less & exercise: The key to losing weight is to eat less, but not all calories are created equal. Sugars & simple carbs from grains esp cause weight gain. I like dr. Furhman's diet: http://www.Drfuhrman.Com/library/what-is-a-nutritarian-diet.Aspx dr. Weil has useful info: www.Huffingtonpost.Com/andrew-weil-md/carbohydrates-weight-loss_b_1937312.Html- see his "discuss that" link in his article. Also see comment:.
