Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello.  One of the problems with not eating is that your metabolic rate will drop. Your body will go into a protective starvation mode. It will use less calories to get more done. Thus, your appetite will drop off because you don't need as many calories to get the job done. It becomes a vicious cycle. At this point, you likely have a low metabolic rate. Strongly recommend that even if you aren't hungry that you force yourself to eat. You might consider eating 6 small meals per day. You will need to this for a while (ensuring that your calories are increased) before your metabolic rate picks back up. You will need to eat to live rather than eating because of hunger. Take care.

Question 7

is plain chicken breast, asparagus, broccoli & cauliflower, mushrooms, and sweet potato a human healthy dinner?

Accepted Answer

Amount just as: Important. All of the foods you described are healthy but if you do not control the amount, even healthy foods will cause obesity and related problems.

Question 8

soup including broccoli, carrot, potato, 3 cloves of garlic, chicken breast and marrow enough if taken just twice a week?banana, apple&orange everyday

Accepted Answer

Soup Sensation: Soup can be an excellent meal as you can add very nutritious constituents to the mix.  Consuming adequate proportions of carbohydrates, proteins and fats is essential to good health.  Depending upon the quantity consumed at each sitting, soup could be a "complete" meal, however care must be taken to avoid soup if it cannot be stored properly based on the components in it.

Question 9

toddler poop light tanish/green. diet is primarily veggies (squash peas cauliflower carrots broccoli corn zucchini chick peas and pinto beans) as well as milk every day and chicken occasionally. consistency is good. is poop color ok?

Accepted Answer

: The main agent adding color to the poo is the material made by the liver called bile. It starts out a dark green and goes thru the greens to yellows to brown depending on the influences of various factors in the intestines. Rapid transit thru the system, as may occur with diarrhea or breast feeding may have a greenish yellow or yellow appearance. The slower, more likely browner.

Question 10

im on a diet with high protein to lose fat and gain muscle, my diet is 2000 calories per day and only consists of: protein shakes, milk, flaxseeds, chicken breast, broccoli, brussel sprouts, green beans, egg, pasta. am i missing any vitamins?

Accepted Answer

: No. Your diet covers all of the vitamins and essential trace nutrients.
You will need to exercise to gain muscle, diet alone will not do it. A combination of aerobic exercise and resistance exercising/weight training will be needed to improve your muscle mass. The amount of gain will also be determined by your genetic make-up.
Wish you good health!
