Question 7

how do i know if i have dandruff or knits?

Accepted Answer

Dandruff or nits: Both nits and dandruff cause itching of the scalp, but the similarities stop there. The causes of nits and dandruff, as well as the treatments to treat these conditions are vastly different. Nits are the eggs of lice. Dandruff is simply dry skin on the scalp. Nits are not on the scalp but on the hair shaft.

Question 8

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!

Question 9

whats your opinion 
about keto dieting?

diet?

Accepted Answer

Keto diet: Studies have shown Keto diets to be effective if they also reduce the number of calories taken in over a 24 hour period. Make sure you consult with your Dr before starting any significant diet so that they can identify any problems which make you high risk for side effects (ie: Diabetes, Thyroid problems, Metabolic syndrome)

Question 10

what are the differences between dhea and 7-keto?

Accepted Answer

The branding...: These 2 compounds are basically similar; and some even come in the same formulation/powder; so you can make shakes from it to enhance your workouts.  Companies like twin-labs; now foods, etc. All have their own...And my sage advice on questions like this is let the buyer beware!  always ask your doctor before starting any new medication/supplement!
