Question 4

when you grow taller do you lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Growing taller: Does not cause you to lose weight. However, it is possible that you may appear more slender if your height grows more quickly than your girth.

Question 5

i was wondering how i could grow taller and lose weight naturally?

Accepted Answer

After puberty- can't: Grow taller. If you've completed puberty you aren't likely to grow taller.  Girls complete puberty by ages 15 to 17 & for boys it is by ages 16 to 17. However, if one enters puberty late, they will usually also complete it late. Our height is largely determined by genetics (our parents' height).  If you are healthy (no unusual causes for stunted growth/ smaller stature) then there is not a way &gt;&gt;.

Question 6

at what weight can a person make a surgery to lose weight if he is  170cm tall
thanks?

Accepted Answer

Weight loss : It's so interesting how people look at surgery to lose weight. It is certainly very effective, although I have seen people gain weight after losing it, The medical need for surgery includes a BMI over 40 , or over 35 with an unlying condition or poor quality of life.  To start the consideration a person of 170 cm would need to be over 101 KG. No one wants surgery before trying other ways. See a MD

Question 7

im 5' 7 inches tall and i weigh 181. do i really have to lose weight or can i jus be the way i am?

Accepted Answer

It's OK to be you!: Google up "bmi calculator." this will give you your "body mass index, " a number based solely on height and weight - and not accounting for how much muscle mass you have. You do fall into the overweight category, but are not obese (bmi would be 30 or greater). You may feel just fine at your current weight. If you gain, however, you may wish you had paid attention to this issue now - not later.

Question 8

i am trying to eat clean and lose weight. i am 200pounds at the age 20& i'm 5ft tall.. so i want to know how much sodium i should take in daily. thnks?

Accepted Answer

Not sodium: Sodium high or low will not help you lose weight. The issue is sugar or carbohydrates and the total amount of calories you are consuming. Sodium varies widely and is of no consequence in the scenario you describe.

Question 9

i am 188 pounds and 5'6" tall. i have an important event in 2 months how can i lose weight quickly and how moch weight could i lose in that time frame?

Accepted Answer

Quick weight loss: Any quick weight loss tends to be followed by weight gain. The best solution for weight loss is a long term change in diet.
Raw food diet or a cleanse may help you loose quickly.

Question 10

Accepted Answer
