Question 1

diet food programs that cause fastest loss?

Accepted Answer

No such thing: I'm afraid no diet program promotes rapid or good weight loss.  The best weapons to use in losing weight are healthy, balanced meals and regular exercise.  There are several commercials on tv that promote success stories with weight loss, but to be honest, no program is successful unless you change your eating habits for the rest of your life, vs. Just a short term diet.

Question 3

any 30-day diet food programs you can think of?

Accepted Answer

Eat less + exercise: There are a huge number of diet programs. Most emphasize high quality foods like vegetables. Any diet that actually reduces your caloric intake to less than you burn in a day will work. It's not the diets that are in question, it's our ability to follow them long enough to get results. Weight watchers has a nice online program that my patients like, but do any diet that you feel good on and can do.

Question 4

how do food programs boost the health of the community?

Accepted Answer

Unclear question: Availability of healthy, fresh foods in the neighborhood may facilitate healthy eating by the members of the neighborhood.

Question 5

how to get skinny with eating dorm food programs?

Accepted Answer

Stick to Fresh Food: Try to stick to fresh food, vs. Heavily processed foods.  I know that's tough in a dormitory cafeteria/eating facility (believe me, i've been there), but stick to veggies, "plain and simple" meat dishes and whole grain foods.  Avoid the flavored milks, soda, white breads/pastas and dessert (except on special occasions).  The biggest culprit in gaining weight in college is snacking in your room!

Question 6

what are some healthy foods or healthy food programs?

Accepted Answer

Start with local: Community-supported agriculture programs are spreading throughout north america. Farmers' markets are popplng up. Even traditional grocers are stocking some local produce. One can start by doing a search online, asking local chefs or contacting a nearby university with an ag or environmental studies program. Also one can ask people with healthy-looking active kids the difference is often apparent.

Question 7

what food can act as an emergency contraceptive? there isnt any ecpills here in my country

Accepted Answer

There's no such food: It would be fascinating if certain food items could prevent pregnancy, and would likely be hazardous to the human race, too. A woman can get an IUD, which prevents pregnancy after sex, and continues to work for many years into the future. A woman can also get birth control pills, and ask her doctor how to take them to mimic an Emergency Contraception effect. See the site    http://ec.princeton.edu
