Accepted Answer

Whole grains: Your diet is part of a healthy lifestyle along with exercise. Carbohydrates are absolutely healthy and you should choose whole grains and high fiber carbohydrates that take longer to break down. Here is a guide on choosing whole grains:http://www.choosemyplate.gov/grains-tips

Question 2

what are some great suggestions on learning how to eat healthy, such as carbohydrate intake and more?

Accepted Answer

As listed below: You should consume plant based foods in preference to animal based foods. This would include cereals, grains, veggies, salads and fruits with each meal. Also take a good share of proteins which require eating eggs, tofu, fish, nuts and low fat milk and no fat yogurt.. Avoid animal fats and meats as much as possible.

Question 3

i do aerobics 5 times a week and trying to eat healthy without too much carbs. what else can i do to lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Left weights: That sound like a good game plan. I think just being patient may do the trick. However, if you hit a roadblock and want to add something, you can try lifting weights. If you can put on some muscle it will help you burn fat. I think lifting weights is very undervalued for weight loss, and may be more important than cardio. Personally, i like lifting with 45 second breaks between sets. It does both*.

Question 4

i have a friend who was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. he doesn't  have to have insulin but need to eat healthy with high carbs. can you please give me a website or some information on how to take care of this? he has been exercising and watching what he

Accepted Answer

Thank : Thank you for your question. I would suggest you look at the website for the american diabetes association, www.Diabetes.Org. This site will provide a wealth of information for you and your friend. As you may know, type 2 diabetes is a condition where the body develops a resistance to insulin. As a result, the body has to make more and more Insulin to process glucose properly. The excess in glucose and Insulin eventually has several bad effects on the body, and can result in heart disease, vascular disease, kidney disease, eye disease and nerve problems. A diabetic diet is low in carbohydrates, especially simple sugars. By following a diabetic diet, and losing weight if one is overweight, some people can treat and even cure their diabetes without medicines.

Question 5

why on nightshift do i become extremely dizzy faint shakey feel sick even tho i eat healthy including carbs for energy drink lots water i can't cope?

Accepted Answer

Jet Lag: You're probably suffering from severe chronobiological desynchronization--better known as jet lag.  You're sleep-wake cycles are completely screwed up.  The best treatment is to take melatonin before your new "bedtime."  you may require 10-20 mg.  As you become used to your new hours, you may be able to progressively reduce the dose.  Let me know how you do.

hormone imbalance and weight gain?

Accepted Answer

See your Dr.: It sounds like you need a full workup to identify the cause of your hair loss/weight gain/ hormone issues. Go to your Primary care Dr for a thorough physical exam with labwork. In the meantime, keep a food diary where you record foods/ drinks, especially amounts and frequencies This will help your Dr. It is surprising how portion control is easy to overlook when on a low carb diet.

Question 7

if i eat a lot of starches during meals, how can i obtain a healthy eating diet, and lose all my excessive weight?

Accepted Answer

Less carbs, more exe: Less carbs, more exercise.

Question 8

i exercise but i think i need more help can anyone recomend a safe diet pill to add to my exercise and healthy eating?

Accepted Answer

Diet pills: If there were a 'safe' diet pill, everyone in america would take it. There is no pill for safe weight loss. Diet and exercise are key. Adding resistance to your workouts, or increasing reps and lifted pounds, within safe margins, is always a good idea.

Question 9

what type of diet or healthy eating should a person with sepsis consider?

Accepted Answer

Too late: By the time you have sepsis your diet for days and weeks prior to your illness have led to the condition. To prevent severe sepsis have a diet rich in broccoli, omega 3 fatty acids and other anti-oxidants.

Question 10

what is a good healthy eating schedule/diet?

Accepted Answer

Small frequent meals: A good rule of thumb would be 3 meals and 2 snacks. Focus on some protein in each meal balanced with a complex carb. Avoid processed foods and focus on fresh whole food.  That's food that can spoil. Avoid high calorie fluids like sweet tea, juice and soft drinks. Eliminating a diet that's high in liquid calories can shed almost 25 lbs in a year.
