Question 7

is the keto diet a safe diet to use?

keto

Accepted Answer

Depends on details: The only way to lose weight is to use more calories than one is eating or drinking. Losing 10 pounds can take 10 weeks, and can happen if a person eats or drinks 500 calories less than she uses each day. For example, eat 1300 calories a day but use 1800 each day. That means she can eat many calories, as long as she uses 500 more than she eats every day. Eating less is much easier than exercising!

Accepted Answer

Khat: is drug which may be abused as a stimulant.

Question 9

could all people who take khat get impotent?

Accepted Answer

No: That's an exaggeration, though it's said it slows libido in some guys. I'm sorry somebody frightened you. The stuff is a moderately powerful stimulant, like strong coffee. I thought the decision to ban it was "politics as usual", but you'll need to decide that for yourself.

Question 10

can i take kava kava while on citoprolam hbr?

Accepted Answer

Kava possibly unsafe: Check out http://umm.Edu/health/medical/altmed/herb/kava-kava & http://www.Nlm.Nih.Gov/medlineplus/druginfo/natural/872.Html which both mention concerns about liver safety from kava. I find it more curious that you asked about taking it w/citalopram but not lisinopril. Ideally, you need to check w/your family doc or prescribing physician regarding any otc supplement you take in add'n to prescripti.
