A. I would suggest just proper diet and exersize, because if you are still breastfeeding your baby, the chemicals in the weightloss pills could be ridiculously harmful to your baby, also, there is NO TELLING what they put in those pills.
Congratulations on your husband coming home, God Bless him for serving his country. My husband just came back in May and though he was injured, it was the happiest day of my life to see him alive!

Good luck and God bless!

A. lentils, chickpeas, eggplant, rice, dates, basil, oregano, lemon and garlic to name a few

Original Question

What do you know about the Mediterranean Diet?

Q. Is there a standard guideline? Or is it just a general rule of thumb? Any links to resources or information would be appreciated!

A. I would say itâs a general rule of thumb as a good diet is about listening to your body and answering your cravings (for missing nutrients),

Itâs not a diet about calorie content but about the kind of food you eat so youâre healthier.
Like eating a lot of olive oil (monounsaturated fats) that not only raises the good HDL cholesterol but also lower the bad LDH cholesterol as well.
You use the extra virgin olive oil for salad dressings and the extra light olive oil for cooking. Itâs lighter in color, not calories, as it was refined to withstand cooking temperature (375F). Do not use the pure olive oil as itâs the lowest quality because itâs not âvirginâ (who needs 3 different olive oils anyway?).

Compared to an American diet, they would cringe at the idea of eating 120 calories per Tbsp of olive oil (men need 2 Tbsp /day for heart health).
Americans (70% of them are overweight) go for low calories, fat free, sugar free, low, diet stuff with fake sugar that really messes up their health and then binge on fast food, fried food and sugary stuff (with taste buds messed up by sweet fake sugar). Since fake sugar creates hunger and leads to obesity, they get fat and get a heart attack before they get old or get some other obesity related diseases.

For me (Iâm from Europe) a healthy diet is just eating fruits and veggies (preferably organic or you grow them), using herbs and spices a lot, salt in moderation, like if you need sodium when making bread as some recipes are about chemistry and need sodium to achieve the proper result. I would never salt my food at the table (as to not mess up my taste buds and I never miss it), with the exception of French fries and potatoes in general which I think always taste better when salty.

If you avoid processed and/or canned food, you avoid a lot of sodium (used for conservation) and water retention.

I eat butter (organic one) for taste as you cannot replace butter with olive oil when you make a sauce (like a Hollandaise sauce for broccoli egg divine) or a cake or when you delicately pan fry your sea scallops in a buttery sauce with garlic, lemon, parsley and paprika.

A Mediterranean Diet would have the proteins not so much coming from red meat but like a pescatarian diet (you can eat dairies, eggs and fish).
But red meat is not excluded, just rare. Like sometimes, I get a craving for a filet mignon or a good steak (once in a blue moon) and Iâll get one.
Good high protein food (for pescetarians who are not vegetarians because they eat fish) are low fat dairies (milk, cheese, yogurts...), eggs (whites and no more than one yolk a day), fish, legumes (beans, peas, chickpeas, lentils, peanuts, peanut butter, including soy milk and tofu that comes from soybeans which are legumes), grains (rice, maize...called corn in the US, whole-wheat pasta and bread, rye, buckwheat, oats, millet...) and nuts/seeds.
If you combine grains with legumes, youâll get complete protein. Like eating a slice of bread with beans, or adding rice to lentils, or eat pasta with peas...even combining grains and legumes in different meals (during the same day) will have them meet later on in the intestines to form complete protein.

Iâm not a pescatarian as I eat chicken, beef, pork, veal but not often. Iâll try anything (short of live bugs)...I ate bison, crocodile, monkey, snake...I was always disappointed...those are too gamey (too chewy with a strong taste).

In Italy, they eat a lot of fish (theyâre surrounded by the sea) and pasta (lots of pasta, lunch and dinner). You can eat weird looking fish there. I tried fishes I could not name...and octopus...actually pretty good but weird when you eat those rubbery suction cups.


Compare to an American diet, you would have less sweets, like coming from sugar/honey (your taste buds are not messed up by fake sugar) and get your carbs from fruits/veggies and other plant foods. Youâll eat less eggs and meat and get your protein from plants food as well, like from legumes, grains, nuts and seeds. And youâll eat less dairies but more cereals and more fats (especially the olive oil).

Yeah...donât forget your glass or red wine.

What is a healthy diet for a swimmer trying to lose weight?

Q. I have looked at many weight loss diets and many restrict carbs, but I look at information about a swimmer's ideal diet and the main food is carbs.
How do you go about losing fat if you swim for 1hr/day for 4-5 days/week.

A. Regardless of your fat, protein, carb ratio, as long as calories in (eating) is less than calories out (burned off thru exercise and metabolism) you will drop weight.

The first thing you need to know is how many calories you need to "maintain" your weight (calculators will ask how much you currently weigh, height & work-out schedule). From there you can create a diet that is around 500 calories less than what you need to maintain (a 500 calorie deficit every day for 7 days will result in a loss of a pound..ie it takes 3,500 calories.). If you need "carbs" than you can focus on complex carbs (whole grains) to provide energy through-out the day.

Edit: There is a reason that health experts suggest only 1 - 2 pounds of loss a week. 500 - 1,000 calorie deficit is tough enough for most people...dropping it below that just isn't practical / healthy. This is especially true for people that are already healthy or close to healthy weights (and is what makes them anorexic).

Heavy people can drop off 500 - 1,000 calories a day easy but that is usually because they can eat 3,000 - 3,500 calories to "maintain" there current heavy weight. So what if they cut back to eating 2,000 calories a day that is still a good amount of food.

What is a healthy diet for 14 year old trying to loose weight?

Q. I have been getting out, riding my bike, exercising, etc., but i haven't noticed much of a weight change. I have have noticed that the things that the things that I have been eating aren't very healthy. I'm not sure what would be a healthy diet for me, but I am willing to go on one, so please help me!

A. Just eat things that seem natural. Get in your fiber, water, veggies etc.
Something that helped me was logging what I ate/how I exercised... I use myfitnesspal.com It's free and stuff but you'd just have to say you're older then you are when you make an account. It's now my new favorite thing... I love it. On it you log your exercise, calories, and water and it creates guidelines of how much of those you need to do to get a certain weight by a certain time.

What is a healthy diet for someone who is anemic and a very picky eater?

Q. So i recently found out that i am severely anemic. And im also extremely picky about what i eat. Does anybody have any ideas of any kinds of food that would be good for me?

Eat slowly, eat fiber rich food in small portions.

Drink plenty of water make sure you know how much iron is in everything so you can build your blood count back up.

I have been anemic at several times in my life and now that I eat balanced diet and have researched how much iron is in foodsI have not been anemic for about 10 years.

What exercise will get rid of stomach fat?

Q. I want a straight answer to this. Everywhere I've been has told me to do cardio and eat a balanced, healthy diet. I've been doing these things, but they don't work by themselves, and I need a specific exercise that will help me get rid of my bulging belly. I don't care about getting toned muscles or a hard abdomen, all I want is a flat stomach. I don't need a category of exercise, I need a specific exercise that I can preferably do at home without any equipment (for example, a side plank). Also, I've heard that side planks are good for getting rid of belly fat. Is that true?

A. - Get a strategy. Note down your workout routines, the time it needs, the time you rest what amount you exercise the amount of reps ⦠all the things. You simply realize youâre having more powerful any time you notice all those results rising.
- Carry weighty not light. Youâre exercising for power and in change you will acquire greater muscles groups. Raising light dos not pressure or struggle your muscles groups so is pointless.
- Simply work each muscle mass until you have pressured it to 100%. This typically intended I would probably do some heat up sets then my final one could be just 10 reps at highest fat. So weighty an 11th rep could be difficult.
- Donât above-work out. Relaxing is when your body cures and develops muscle, extreme workout routines must be accompanied by adequate period to relax and find slim to muscled growing.

What exercise machine is best for diabetic patients?

Q. My dad is a type 2 diabetic patient. His doctor said to buy a exercise machine. Now he wants to know what type of machine to buy. Is the treadmill the best one?

A. The best exercise machine is the one he will continue to use after he passes the initial "fun" stage. If he gets too bored to use the machine, if the machine makes him hurt to the point where he won't use it anymore, if he can't get the hang of how to use the machine, if it takes too much trouble to set up the machine each time--he's not going to continue to use it. This goes for anyone, not just a diabetic. I find a treadmill too mind deadening--I even tried to read while I walked and would fall off the tread, tried to listen to music as I walked but it was still dreadfully boring, treadmill made so much noise I couldn't hear the tv so watching tv was kind of frustrating, might have been ok if I could have a computer on the handlebars so I could play games but again I might have gotten too distracted to stay on the treads. The exercise bike made my derriere hurt after about 5 mins and each time I climbed on it would hurt more because the bruises (or whatever they were) hadn't recovered from the last time I pedaled so I came to dread doing the bike (maybe a different type of exercise bike might have worked better but I'd already bought this one and couldn't afford another one). Tried the Chuck Norris Total Gym but couldn't figure out how to do the various exercises and I live in an apartment with limited space--the thing took up about 6+ feet of space so everyone kept tripping over it. Does your dad want an exercise machine? My brother has diabetes and my mom keeps nagging him to exercise, says she'll buy him any machine he wants but he admits he's not going to use it. If your dad does want a machine, you'd be better off taking him to the store to test drive several machines to see which one he likes best and will use all the time, or maybe get him a membership to a gym that has all the machines so he can change his work out without having to buy his own machines (plus he'll be able to consult a trainer so he's doing exercises correctly so he won't hurt himself). My dad used to go to his gym even long after the doctor forbid him from using any of the machine or using the sauna/jacuzzi/hot tubs because of his health (or lack thereof) merely for the camaraderie.

What exercise targets one side of my abdominals?

Q. I seem to have more fat one my left side of my body. What exercises should i do to even out my body?

A. You cannot target fat-loss to an area of the body by doing an exercise that works the muscle in that area. This method has never worked in the history of mankind. Your body will lose fat in a genetically-predisposed manor, you cannot change it.

To lose body fat, you have to clean up your diet, eat every 3-4 hours (starting with breakfast!), work your ENTIRE body (weights, cardio, the whole bit), and get plenty of good rest.

Q. I have tried every diet book out there. So far, the only thing that's worked for me is a raw diet but I never can stick to it for long!

A. I still eat everything but in moderation and I count the calories that I take to know if I should stop eating for the day because I'm in a 1,000calorie diet, but in that everything I avoid junk foods like chips which I crave for and sweets because they have lots of calories but sometimes maybe once/twice a month its not bad to satisfy your craving, satisfy ok not to be gluttonous for a day and since dieting makes your metabolism slow I also do exercise like jumping rope.
p.s dont eat much carbs I'm Asian and one of our staple foods is rice so in a meal I ate half a rice and dont forget your water.

What diet pills actually work and are safe?

Q. I understand there is no magic diet pill to make you thin, but I was just looking for a good pill to jump start weight loss that works with exercise and diet. I gained about 30lbs a year ago and have just kind of been okay with it since then, until I saw pictures from my vacation then I realized I wasn't happy. So I started working out again and eating healthy and it just is not enough right now. I am looking for something safe, productive, and something I can get without a prescription. Any help would be wonderful!

A. Alli is the first FDA approved diet pill. It's a fat blocker so it won't make you too energetic or jittery. I suggest you look online for reviews of it and how it works. Good luck.

How do I get started on the south beach diet and what exactly is it?

Q. I'm really wanting to be fitter and healthier and thought the south beach diet could be the way to go.

A. First of all, you need to buy the book. It explains everything in there. But just a quick overview.... There are 3 phases, the 1st phase you do for 2 weeks. You can eat things like steaks, chicken, hamburger, all sorts of meats, cheeses, vegetables, eggs. No sugar or bread or pasta.It is the strictest part of the diet. But in the first 2 weeks you can lose 8 -13lbs. I lost 12 in my first two weeks. Then after 2 weeks, you slowly start adding the good carbs. Fruits and things that are very low in sugar. After you are down to the weight you want you can go to phase 3. Which is eating things that are low in carbs and pretty much eat the things that are healthy for you. I really like the diet and you will be amazed at how your cravings for sugar will go away! I've lost 35 lbs so far. I would buy the book. There are recipes in it and there is also a recipe book you can buy. Or go to this website http://forums.thesouthbeachdietforum.com/
there is a lot of info on there

Original Question

What is the south beach diet and the atkins diet?

Q. What the heck are a bunch of diets..I want to go on one of them, which one should i use?Results?Way to lose weight would be helpful too!

A. The South Beach Diet is a fine way of eating if you are close to normal weight and are not addicted to carbs. South Beach allows a higher carb level but fewer protein & fat choices (if you would rather eat beans than beef, this may be a better choice). Atkins (and I) believe saturated fat is a much more healthful fat for fueling the body. If you lower carbs you have to increase fats to fuel the body.


Eating carbs while trying to lose body fat is terribly inefficient. When in glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) you have to lower your calories (which slows your metabolism) & exercise heavily to deplete your glycogen stores before burning body fat.

The core of Atkins program is converting the body from glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) to ketosis (burning fat as fuel). Dietary fat levels need to be at >65% of total calories, if not, the body will still remain in glycolysis by converting 58% of excess protein into glucose (via gluconeogenesis).

It takes minimum of 3 days to convert a body to ketosis, (but only one bite to convert back to glycolysis). People feel sluggish the first week but most feel better than ever thereafter.

Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) trigger insulin which can store the calories eaten into fat. The more protein the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.

Simple carbs are addictive & can be disastrous to health. The best way to break the addiction is NO carbs for 3 days. Make a huge batch of deviled eggs, eat one every time you want "something" - have huge omelets with bacon, sausage, peppers, mushrooms & cheese. Pork chops smothered with peppers, mushrooms & cheese - pork rinds & dip or tuna/chicken/turkey/egg salad - steaks - a huge sugar free cheese cake. Eat so much you won't feel deprived of anything. By the 4th day, the addiction will be gone & you can start making healthy choices.

High insulin levels promote inflammation, weight gain, hunger & unbalance other hormones. Controlling insulin levels will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so lean muscle will be gained even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase muscle mass with high HGH levels.

You can lose more body fat eating protein & fat (don't eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast, eat all you want, but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter & half an avocado a day (for added potassium). Keep the calories high & the fat percentage high, at least 65% of calories. Green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.

The first 2 weeks eat several cups a day of (mostly) lettuce & celery, cucumbers, radishes, mushrooms, peppers & more variety of vegetables thereafter - add 5 grams per day additional every week (20 grams day first 2 weeks, 25grams 3rd week, 30grams 4th week etc) til you gain weight, then subtract 10grams. That will be your personal carb level (everyone is different & depends on how active you are.)

Start with meat, fats & salads for 2 weeks and then slowly add in more green veg, wk4 fresh cheeses, wk5 nuts & seeds, wk6 berries, wk7 legumes, wk8 other fruits, wk9 starchy veg, wk10 whole grains. You will learn how your body reacts to different foods.

The first week is just water weight but fat is lost thereafter if you keep your calories high enough. Otherwise the body will strip it's own lean tissue for nutrition. Although that may look great on a scale it will make it MUCH easier to accumulate fat in the future (since all that pesky lean tissue burning up calories will be gone). The body won't release fat stores if you lower calories below what it needs. It will slow metabolism to compensate & store every spare ounce as fat. If you continue lowering calories, it will continue lowering the set point, til it can survive off nothing & store fat on anything. The body will only release it's fat stores if it knows there is plenty of nutritious food.

Ground flax seed (2 Tbsp) 1/4 cup water, artificial sweetener, mix in a raw egg - let sit 10 min. to absorb liquid, put some cream cheese in the middle & nuke 2 minutes. Suggested for daily fiber needs.

As long as you have <9grams carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control & shouldn't gain weight, no matter the calories. Many people gain weight on high carb, do low carb to lose weight & then are shocked when they return to high carb & gain weight. Many people can return to moderate carb levels but very few can really eat all they want of sugar & maintain weight or health.

What weight loss program helps you detoxify and loss weight at a good rate?

Q. I want to detoxify my body and loss weight healthily and rapidly. I want to lose 90 lbs by the end of the year.

A. I did south beach and I lost about 50 pounds in not even 3 months. And I've kept it off for almost 2 years now. I found it to be the easiest diet because it pretty much told you what you could and couldn't eat and you didn't have to count points or anything like that. What I lost really isn't typical for the amount of time I did it but I know others who have done it and they got really good results from it as well.

How do weight loss and breast size interfere?

Q. In other words, if I loose 10 pounds, will my bra size go down? I plan on loosing it fairly quickly, but healthily.

A. I'd say it depends on your starting weight...and genetics of course. And what kinds of exercise you're doing (if any).

It is possible to lose 10 pounds and keep the same size boobs...but your back size could change. But yeah I've lost 10-15 pounds before and wore the same bra size, just the back didn't fit me as well...like in between sizes, that sucks a lot. I actually have boobs so it's not like I went from size A to size A. I think if you work out and you have boobs they will disappear. I'm pretty lazy so whenever I lose weight I just cut back on my calories and such.
