Question 3

i need help losing weight?

Accepted Answer

A good tasting diet: Successful dieting requires that a person stick to a plan for months or years, so a good tasting diet is important. She must be happy with the foods she gets to eat. Severe calorie restriction is usually unsuccessful. A person can cut back on calories enough to lose 1 pound a week, and she will be more likely to stay with that modest type of plan. One pound a week is 52 pounds a year!

Question 4

should i stress over losing weight?

Accepted Answer

No: Stressing over losing weight probably wont help you accomplish your goals. It might help to have professional help to monitor you. I wouldnt weigh myself everyday. I would try to learn nutrition from a certified professional dietician, or physician nutrition specialist. Aiming for 5-7 fruits and fresh vegetables a day- not fired, or with oil, is a good way to start your journey.

Question 5

could losing weight cure hypoglycemia?
