Question 1

if i wanted to diet... and have a meal delivery service. which one do doctors recommend the most... nutrisystem, bistro md, jenny craig delivery..?

Accepted Answer

NoneBestLearnReality: Despite all the commercials, they are not selling health but convenience ; reduced quantities, for a price! none of them have done large clinical trials (exempted by dshea act 1994) to evaluate their efficacy; instead hiring well-paid "celebrities" to sell their wares. While they do occasionally work for some, none have any long term success. Best study issues yourself ; learn what works for you!

Question 4

i don't like my figure and i've started skipping out meals, what should i dl?

Accepted Answer

Don't skip meals: Consider "grazing"--eating small meals frequently.  Try not to focus on your figure too much and avoid this turning into an eating disorder.  Even though it feels good to look good, long term relationships are best when built on who we are, not how we look.

Question 5

what are healthy meal options?

Accepted Answer

Healthy eating....: First, control portion size.  It's also important to eat a diet that is low in sugars, starches, and grains.  Get plenty of vegetables.  Fruit should be kept low if you are quite overweight and/or have a lot of trouble shedding weight.  A mediterranean diet modified by reducing or removing grains and fruits is a good basic idea for healthy living and/or weight loss.

Question 9

can i gain weight even if i skip meals?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This is a defense mechanism from our more primitive days. When we skip meals, the body will store some fuel at the next meal just in case you skip a meal again. The body does this to provide protection against starvation. We usually still eat more calories than needed in a day so you may actually gain weight. Better to eat small meals and control total calories, than skip meals.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

No: You should avoid bedtime meals.  They lead to reflux and can be more prone to weight gain.
