Question 1

i have lost a lot of weight after a recent break up, what are some good ways to gain weight fast?

Accepted Answer

Depends: You need to think about why you lost weight after the break up and why you want to gain it back quickly. The most likely reason for the weight loss after a break up is that you developed a significant depression. Until you treat the depression you may find it difficult to regain the weight. Perhaps you should talk with your doctor about depression and see if you show other symptoms.

Question 2

i want to fast for wiegt loss , i am planning to fast a week at a time . i just wanted to hear a professional opinion before i dedicate myself. how should i then break my fast at the end of the week and after how long could i fast again ?

Accepted Answer

Different approach: Fasting for a  week is not a good way to lose weight or maintain good health, Reduce your intake by half, drink enough water so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 30 minutes/day. Aim to reduce weight by one pound per week, If you are losing less than that, reduce your intake of food further. Consult a nutritionist.
Wish you good health!

Question 3

how can i break down my fats in the fasters way?

Accepted Answer

Diet and exercise: when performed sensibly are the best way. Eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables with 80-100 grams of protein per day and no more than 100 grams carbohydrates. Reduce sugar, baked goods, pasta, potatoes and rice. Aerobic exercise for 30 minutes or more per day 5 days per week. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Question 4

can i drink hot ginger water while i'm in intermittent fasting? it will break my fast? thank you

Accepted Answer

Ginger : It’s fine, you can drink it while fasting, ginger is a fat burner.

Question 5

how can i decrease my sugar level without medicine? my sugar level fasting 274 and after break fast 201. please help?

Accepted Answer

See details: It is highly unlikely you can control a fasting sugar of 274 on just diet and exercise. This level requires medication to prevent serious medical complication of uncontrolled diabetes. See a doctor now.

Question 6

my baby son 12 months old was diagnosed with kroep, a week ago today his temperature doesnt break and hang in the high 38 and goes to 39 degrees celcius.
his breating is fast and he is coughing like the flemg doesnt want to come loose.
any advice?

Accepted Answer

Re-check: Croup is often triggered by a group of upper airway viruses. It is often complicated later by middle ear, sinus or chest infections. If the kid has not improved significantly by day 5 of the illness there is likely a secondary infection that needs treatment.

Question 7

what could i do to break free from fast food addiction?

Accepted Answer

Fast Food addiction: Very challenging but can be done.  First you have to change the lifestyle that makes these (very addictive) types of foods easier for you to consume.  I guarantee that if you make the commitment to eating only healthy whole foods for even just a week or two, you will find that the old unhealthy foods are unappealing.  There are many programs to assist with that transition.

Question 8

i eat a lot of fast food. but my metabolism is really high. i am addicted to eat fast food & i want to know how to break my habit?

Accepted Answer

Introspection: Hi. Good for you. Fast food is poison, and is killing Americans in the name of corporate profit. Awareness is the first step in treatment. To eat healthily, you kinda have to shift to eating at home. That takes more time and effort (and, yes, money), but the payoff is huge. You're young, and starting to eat healthily (and exercise regularly, and OF COURSE, don't smoke) will serve you well lifelong

Question 9

39wks/2days. totally effaced but just became 1cm dilated. how fast can i end up getting to over 4cm? also what are the chances my water will break now

Accepted Answer

Higher !: As your cervix effaces and dilates there's a higher chance that membranes may rupture. On first pregnancies the time between initial dilation from 2 to 4 cms may take over 24 hours if you are not in the active phase of labor.

Question 10

30 to 45 mins.after break fast i sometimes feel a total run down feelings. i have no blood sugar. i am 69 yrs.with a very good health and very active.

Accepted Answer

Needs physicial: This may be true hypoglycemia (very rare) or  a multitude of different causes.  Get a STAT blood sugar when you are feeling tired and exhausted. If that is normal then a A full physicial and de3tailed evaluation is called for here.
