Question 1

i am an endomorph and want to bulk up as clean as possible, should i follow a high protein and fat diet with one day of carb loading a week?

Accepted Answer

Bulking up.: Sounds good.  A high protein diet along with resistance exercises or strength training will help you build muscle mass.  Be sure to alternate muscle groups each day to allow for muscle recovery.

Question 2

should i get my gallbladder removed? i am 14 weeks pregnant, and i just found out my gallbladder is full of stones.  i have had 4 strong gallstone attacks and 4 mild ones in the past 7 wks. i've been in a low fat diet for 5 weeks and i lost 12 lbs so far.

Accepted Answer

I : I am so sorry to hear that you are having all of these health problems while you are pregnant.  You are asking doctors who have not physically examined you, viewed your lab results, read you radiographic studies or obtained a comprehensive medical history if you should have abdominal surgery while pregnant. Any surgery during pregnancy is serious. It takes looking at your total medical situation to determine if the benefits of having the surgery outweigh the risks. If you don't get the surgery, the risk to you and your fetus also has to be weighed in. This is something that your medical team needs to discuss, so that they can provide you with options. You are also a member  of your health team - as you get the final say so about whether or not to undergo surgery at this time. Your general surgeon and your obstetrician should be collaborating closely as this would have to be a team effort. I wish you best.

Question 7

is mono unsaturated fat healthier than polyunsaturated fats? which one will affect our diet more? and why is that so?

Accepted Answer

Tough to say: According to recent research studies, there is no conclusive evidence that mono unsaturated fat is healthier than poly unsaturated fat. They are both healthier than saturated fat, which is found mostly in animal fat. Unsaturated fat tends to lower bad cholesterol and makes less cholesterol plaques which cause blockages in the arteries.

Low carb: Has been shown to be effective in wt loss.Simple carbs, often from processed  foods, are just long chains of sugars, absorbed rapidly, causing spikes in blood sugar and insulin.You may look into the " glycemic index".

Question 10

is blood pressure 104/74 too low should i lower dose on meds. i the only one with family with hbp i suspect it only from being fat. i on diet losing ?

Accepted Answer

Not low: It's within normal as long as you're not having symptoms of low blood pressure such as dizziness or fatigue. I recommend you monitor your BP more often (x2 a day) for the next week and keep a diary. We care more about the trend of your BP rather than a single read. If the blood pressure is low (&lt; 90/60) then hold off on taking your BP meds and consult with a physician ASAP.
