Don’t tell me its not healthy b/c I DON’T CARE. I don’t exercise but tell me if this diet is good.

I’ve been taking a teen vitamin which has 100 something cals. I also take 2 kid gummies (they taste so good:)) & they r 15 cals each. I don’t eat breakfest or lunch. My dinner is a bag of popcorn (I know it sounds dumb, but popcorn is healthy & doesn’t have a lot of cals at all & I love popcorn anyway). I’m going to have 1 tbs of olive oil b/c i heard its good for the colon or something, is that true?

I 1st started doing this 2day, If I do it for a week or at least a few days, can i lose a few pounds? Don’t bother telling me that I’m an idiot b/c I kno I probably am but I really wanna lose wieght. So yeah, can i lose 5 pounds?

I just want to know what kind of weight loss aids i can use IN ADDITION to diet and exercise. I know that there is no magic pill and that i wont be losing that much extra… but reallly i dont need to lose that much. Im a 6’0 male that weighs 215. want to get down to like 180. Im eating really well and doing cardio everyday for about an hour, and liftin every so often
im considering green tea extract, acai berry, alli, and colon cleanse. MY doctor told me that alli was probably the healthiest and most effective. thoughts?

I did. I was severely criticized because they thought I was feeding this to my husband and kids. At one time I made a roughed out menu, for myself only, for the week. My husband and children did not eat this menu. I never set tuna salad sandwiches in front of them, not once. They would not have eaten them. My food cost less than theirs. I prepared what they liked within our budget, They ate a healthful, varied diet.. I enjoyed fitting into my clothes. I liked the way I looked. It is beyond rude to tell someone if they would get fat, they would look better, especially if they themselves are ugly as sin, are not pretty nor handsome themselves. I would rather be healthy than pretty. If someone does not like the way I look, they can go where they do not need to look at me I liked the way I looked and felt when I was a normal weight of 135. I never knew of anyone on earth who was forced to get fat, or they tried to force them to because someone did not like the way they looked. What audacity. In my case they were looking for a perfect diet pill, through me, and I weighed five lbs less than she.. My diet, or my menu, never caused anyone problems, ever, not financially, not socially, not in any way.That is it. I do not and will never
weigh what someone else wants me to voluntarily.. If I were married and he said to gain or lose because I was not pretty, we would divorce.

At one time, I had severe dietary problems, WW helped me a lot.
I have a history of ulcers. I have gerd at times and a spastic colon, hernia, blah blah. Stress is a factor, huge factor. I have severe stress, unrelenting.

I have seen very very few truly beautiful people in my life. I never made fun of my husband’s physical appearance, nor did I ever make fun of anyone else over their weight… NEVER DID. I was thin as a child. I put on about ten lbs about age 11, and then I was thin in high school. Maximum weight in high school was 137. It is a matter of personal choice. There is no perfect weight or body type.

It is as simple as if you do not like the way someone looks, leave them alone, someone else might. You cannot possibly speak for the entire world. I am grossly overweight now. I look worse than I ever looked, and worse than I have ever felt in my life. My unhappiness is not all due to weight. . I have many GI problems. I do not really care anymore. I am not ever going to have what I call a normal life.. I do not have the money to go to WW. WW never did anything but good for me. I have a horrible feeling someone sued them? Why? I loved the meetings. I had no problems with the program ever.
Some creep here took exception to my weight, wanted me to get fat, thin to see which they preferred.
He ,himself was ugly as sin. I have no idea how he married if looks had anything to do with it.
,
The photos of me making horrible faces were one…when I was very pg and not on any sort of diet, and not premenstrual…being harassed endlessly by my husband. The other, I was not pg, same reason. only I had been ankle deep in mud, picking corn, shucking corn, hair strongly, makeup running and he was taking pictures.

My weight is my business. I will not see 137 again. That makes them very happy, I am sure. I will probably never weigh l50 again. That is all that matters to them, that I am grossly obese, feel like crud, and cannot get out and do anything because I do not feel well at all. I am not depressed.
If you walk up to someone and make fun of them due to their not being what you call attractive, you are pretty sick and rude. Even if they remind you of someone they dislike or fear, you need to be careful what you way.

Yes. I always liked style and fashion, pretty clothes….the ideal was not Wal-Mart. I want no new clothes. Nothing looks good. I hate shopping for clothes when I am grossly obese, nothing looks good. Nothing. It is not body dysmorphia. I was a normal wt all my life and I would not marry or date anyone or be friends with anyone who wanted me to be obese, or to stay grossly obese. My weight is my business. I will wear the clothes I have until I die or they wear out, because I am not wasting money on anything but underwear when they look like absolute crud as does my face and the rest of my body. I don’t want to hear it. Keep the criticism and the other to yourself. I value the opinion of people I know and trust, unless asked for. I know I am overweight and not attractive.

My mom recently got through thyroid cancer, and contrary to popular assumption, actually gained quite a bit of weight. Having always been active, this is hurting her lifestyle now that she’s done with chemo and getting back into the swing of things. She’s gone through cancer once (colon) and was able to bounce back into her normal lifestyle pretty fast, so the key problem she’s facing is the weight gain (other problems being controlled with medication). It just puts too much stress on her joints.

Her doctor gave her the okay to go on an 800 calorie (mostly) liquid diet. He explained to her that it would throw her into a state of Ketosis, where the fat would be burned instead of the glucose. However, keeping in mind that she has always been active (although always maybe 5 -10 pounds overweight), he’s saying that he doesnt want her to exercise. Not because she cant. Not because she would hurt herself. But because he doesnt want her to build muscle while she’s losing.

Does that make any sense? Because it doesnt to me. My mom isn’t trying to lose weight for vanity. She doesnt care what the number on the scale says. She wants to be healthy, and I’m concerned the doctor is only worried about getting her the scale number down.

Can anyone explain this train of thinking? I’m not being confrontational, I just legitimately dont understand.

For some reason Ive never quite pooped "right". I always would take a longer while to get it all out. Back before everything described below happened, it would take maybe 20-30 minutes to get everything out and be done. Ill give you a quick history of my poop paterns lately…

A month or so ago I had to poo after everything I ate. Anytime my stomach got some food in it, it would become very upset and I had to poo quickly after, many times being diareha. This went on for 2-3 days. Then after that was gone, it became very hard to poo. I would have to strain to get it out, and after a while it became VERY VERY painful to poop.. every time I had to poo I would expect going through hell again. I had to resort to a laxative for a couple days, and then I increased my fiber diet and began drinking more liquids, but that only helped a little.

Now, I am still eating more fiber and liquids, but I still have to strain when I poo. It doesnt hurt as much as it did before, but it is still a little painful. The poo was green for maybe no more than a week, but recently it is not. Now there is a decent amount of blood when I poo (there was blood a little before, but not enough to be notable or significant). The blood will first come out on end part (or the beginning part? cant tell) of the poop, and then I wipe just to see if the blood will show on the toilet paper and it does (bright red). I wipe a few more times in hopes to "clean up" the blood. The first wipe has a bunch of blood on it… enough to cover a good amount of the toilet paper wad, but not enough to make it dripping with blood or anything. With the second wipe, the blood is mixed with feces. It maybe takes 3-4 more wipes to get all the blood off.

After researching online, my first thought was hemmroids caused by my straining. But I just checked in a mirror (about 20 mins after I pooed) and I didnt spot any blood or veins coming out (though it is a bit hard to see past the hair). So what could it be? I went to WebMD and selected all the "bleeding" options in the rectum section and it gave me 20 results ranging from hemmroids to colon cancer. I dont know which one of these many things it is…. HELP!!

Hi there, I’m going on a trip in a few months and I’m hoping to lose 15-20 pounds before I go. I’m not a bad eater, but I do have a little bit of weight I’d like to shed. I work out daily, yoga and swimming. My doctor suggested before I really start dieting to do a colon cleanse because I don’t go very often (if you know what I mean) But I was wondering if anyone has done a colon cleanse before and how much weight did you lose? I’m only really wondering because I’d like to know how much more pounds I need to shed after the cleanse to reach my goal weight. I did the "10 day master cleanse" last year and seen dramatic results but this year I’m not interested in starving myself. It was just too much for me.

Thanks for your time. Hope to year from you

Will acai pills used for vitamins work? The diet pils are 4x as expensive…
I don’t have much money, so I was wondering how effect acai pills would be when they are used for vitamins, will I still lose weight? Do I still need a colon clense?
I’ll be started a tae-bo-type class in a few weeks, which is when I’d buy them, to use them to help me lose fat, not do the work for me! X3
Eduardo- tey giving me an actual answer, just because I used the word ‘acai’ does not mean I want the stereo-type answer…
But nice try~ :]
people-will vitamin aci pills work as well as diet acai pills, or not?!?

so im 11, im an okay weight but i wanna lose about 30lbs….in about 2-4 months, but healthily
NO STINKEN ACIE BERRY OR COLON CLEANSE or any of that stupid stuff that could possibly harm my body in some physical, or mentally way, i dont wanna end up in a hospital…..i want to lose this weight by a normal good diet to follow, you know, like 500-1,200 calories a day, and some excersizes. but i dont know what kind or anything, i want something i can write down, hang on my wall and follow every day, im doing this for me
im 5ft0
130lbs, and wanna be 95lbs before 5 months
so heres my "now" routine:
breakfast:nothing(sometimes some chips)
lunch:nothing cus i wake up so late unless school days i have a turkey sandwich
dinner:salad, or something
i usually over eat in between like 500calorie snacks, and i stopped eating for a day but i literally almost cried when i saw food and like mentally exploded, and began eating more than normal.
i have a small frame….but waaaayyyy overweight
i need alot of help before i go to the doctors again, cus i gotta see my weight, and wanna be real thin
NOONE TELL ME TO STOP EATING AND BECOME AN ANOREXIC, ID NEVER BE THAT INSANE!!!
so please be nice to me!
oh and im a vegetarian, so i dont have turkey sandwich, i have pb&j, see im goin crazy LOL

I have heard so many different things. One person tells me to take a fiber supplement. Someone else tells me to try a colon cleanse. Yet someone else tells me that hoodia is the best. Now I am hearing all these things about the Acai berry diet as seen on Oprah with Dr. Oz. Has anyone tried any of these, and if so, which ones worked best for you, and how fast? I have been starting an exercising routine, but the faster I can drop the weight the better. It will keep me motivated!!! I have a lot to go!
P.s.
The reason I have so much to lose is because I had 2 back to back pregnancies, where I was never able to lose the weight with my first child. I have been trying to diet, but I’m just not losing it fast enough to keep me motivated, at this rate, so the guy who decided to refer to me as a F* pig can rot and has been blocked!!

Does anyone know how harm full/helpful the Master Cleanse is? It’s basically Water, lemon juice, Organic Grade B Maple syrup, and Cayenne pepper or supplements! I know it sounds gross, and it’s not intended for wait-loss, but mainly a colon/intestinal/waste cleanse! My friend said she did it for 3 days (recommended around 10) and she said don’t do it more than five, so that it won’t ruin my metabolism!

I am in my second year of college, and while this semester I have been feeling unhealthy and gross, I got on the scale when I got home and I am 15 pounds more (20 on a bad, bad day)! So I need help! I am SO uncomfortable in my jeans, I want to swear sweats everyday.. (I feel like I have a tire around ear arm, each upper thigh, AND about 7 around my waiste!

I know what you’re going to say, diet and exercise! I am a full time student, and it’s hard to find time when I have to study a lot! Also-bikini season is coming SOON. I have ONLY 42 days until I leave for spring break! I HONESTLY want to lose the 15 pounds. I KNOW, I know that is drastic, but I HAVE TO! I will eat, I will eat healthy, but adjust my body to less calories, and by working out!

Along with telling me your opinion about the Lemonade fast, if you know can you please tell me some foods that you can eat plenty of and it’s healthy? I drive to class each and every day, and it’s around 40 minutes, so coming home for lunch is silly with gas prices and time! What are some things that I can just throw in baggie? I am completely cutting out carbs, I know people need some, but I’ve eated enough for my entire life!

Sorry my post is LONG, and I didn’t mean to ramble.. which I did! So thanks for reading if you got this far!

Don’t tell me its not healthy b/c I DON’T CARE. I don’t exercise but tell me if this diet is good.

I’ve been taking a teen vitamin which has 100 something cals. I also take 2 kid gummies (they taste so good:)) & they r 15 cals each. I don’t eat breakfest or lunch.

okay so i have candida. this means if i dont follow a strict diet, i am very very sick. I eat alot of raw salads and fruit. i consume a ridiculous amount of fruit. i know they recommend a size of a deck of cards of meat to eat each day, but with my diet should i eat more since i don’t have dairy or bread? iv been on this for two years. i used to eat tons of meat each day but now i eat very little. is this bad?
oh iv tried going off this diet but every time i do i just get really ill. i am going to try a colon cleanse though

ok ive noticed that my stools have been occationaly pencil thin, accompanied by pebble like stools, this happens probably 2 to 3 times a week. the rest are loose stools of no particular shape, is this colon or rectum/anal cancer or a poor diet? im 14, male, 5 4, 105 lbs, on most days i prolly get about 2 and half to 3 hours of exersise.

My grandfather is currently in 4th stage cancer. He had a tumor removed from his colon last year and now has just acquired Jondus as the cancer has spread to his liver. We fear that he does not have much time left at all.
I just found out about this Budwig Diet yesterday. I have gone over the web site and there seems to be different variations of the diet depending upon the stage of cancer one has.
Can anyone direct me to what set of instructions I should follow? The home portion of this news group, is that enough to get started? Do I need to purchase the Budwig books? Also, my grandfather is currently in India, Chandigarah. Are there any groups there that may be able to help?

I appreciate everyone’s help. Thank you and God Bless!

K so I am 6 foot tall and 2 inches and weight 225 and am fairly big in the stomach and chest areas. I would like to get down to 200 by the end of August and I just need to know if what I am doing will work.
Power Walk up hill everyday (200 calories) for 30 min
Swim (laps and few workouts) at least 3 times a week
bicep curls (2-4-6-8-10-10-8-6-4-2) 12 pound every other day (Every week increase by 2)
Chest curls (works pecs) (same as above) the problem is that my pectoral muscles are already as big as I want them and so I don’t want to increase them anymore then they are, I just want to loose the fat around it
5 Stomach vacuums (30 sec first 2 weeks then 45, then 60, etc…)
Food I have a big meal between 1000-1500 calories in the morning after my workout and then a 100 calorie protein shake for lunch and dinner and for dinner I add some kind of vegetable and protein.
8-10 bottles of water
Colon cleanser for a month as well
I have already been doing it for a week and I can do the diet this way because it doesn’t have me eating more than once so if I over eat a little for my meal it doesn’t hurt me and then I do not snack because I am not hungry and by keeping busy I am not bored and snack.
Please let me know if you think this will work and healthy I know it is not the best thing a person can do diet wise but it works for me and I am getting all or most of the nutrients I need. Thanks
Also I am a male and I need about 2500 calories a day to maintain my weight with light activity.
Question: Theoretically, I eat 1000 calories for breakfast and theoretically it all turns to fat, which I believe doesn’t happen because I eat after my workout and so my metabolism is high and my body uses that quicker than it can turn to fat. Correct? I know the starvation mode lowers metabolism and turns everything into fat. But if I eat 1500 calories in a day but need like 2000 I am still burning 500 calories a day of fat. And yes I know bicep curls don’t burn fat. Am I correct or do I now know what I am talking about?
OK so I know this isn’t the best way to do this and I know that after I loose the weight I will struggle keeping it off which is why I will start the normal 4 meals a day but here is the deal the reason I am doing this is because it is combating my main problem that when I eat I eat whats on my plate and 1000 calories is not that big of a meal I mean most entres at restaurants exceed 1000 calories. And it isn’t like I am eating crap all I am doing is eating what I would normally have for dinner. For example this morning I had a piece of lasagna, garlic bread, and some salad. Tomorrow I will have chicken, salad, and corn. I always have eaten healthy dinner (which is what I am eating now just in the morning) it was just the other times that I struggles. And it isn’t like I don’t eat all day I have a protein shake for lunch and then for dinner I usually have another shake, turkey or chicken and a fruit or vegetable. As for the starvation mode here is my question.
and it isn’t a protein shake thats just what I call it but its not. Its got most of the vitamins that you hear about and with my balanced meal for the rest of the day there is no reason I shouldn’t get the vitamins I used to get. All I am doing is cutting out the junk I ate with my lunches and the snacks I would have throughout the day the healthy things are staying

I was fine….but decided to try a gluten free diet to see what it’s all about and see if I felt better on it. Well I have been doing it for a week now..and I have now had diahrea twice bad right after eating lunch and very loose stools and pain/burning in the colon/rectum. I am concerned that I should stop this diet. I just ate one 96/4 foreman grilled burger and 2 slices of Udi’s whole wheat with some sauteed onion and within 20 mins I ran to the bathroom. I am seeing a dr on Friday but dont want to keep going with this if its that bad. The one new thing Ive added to the diet is the Udi’s could the bread be the problem. Maybe I need the Gluten….maybe some of this hype about Gluten free is not all that…Please help

i have been changing my diet so it could be constipation but i have been having a bad pain on my lower left side and i found blood in my crap last night but it also hurt…i havent crapped right in a while and i wanna know if its constipation or colon cancer.
ive been drinking alot of water and i just recently had xrays done for my chest and shifted ribs. could those all play in as factors?

so everyone is talking about the acai berry diet. ive seen the juice in the store or the pills. all the websites and everything says to take acai berry and a colon cleanser. but has anyone ever taken it and lost weight by actually doing it? and if so, what exactly did u take and where did u get it? my husband says that all those free trial things are fakes and that if i want to try something like that then i should go to a store myself and purchase it. im trying to find a way to help me lose weight with exercissing and eating healthy but maybe a little more help too becau

I’ve been having some trouble getting these last few lbs off after having a baby 8 months ago. I was breast feeding and that helped a lot but after I stopped about a month ago the weight has just been sitting there.

I’ve heard about the Olive Oil diet which you take a shot of olive oil every morning for breakfast with a piece of fruit and it helps you lose weight. I’m assuming it helps by reducing cravings and hunger.

Does anyone have any information (pros/cons) or experiences with the Olive Oil diet. I want to do something natural.

Also will the Olive Oil help cleanse my body (like a colon cleanse)?

I just bought I bottle of Acai Berry Juice and colon cleanser and since sat DEC20 I’ve lost 3lbs it is now Tues Dec 23 …I cant believe it!!!! It was purchased as GNC I don’t trust that online pill bullsh%! But um YES Pray for me people I’m trying to lose about 54lbs by April and I know that at first with any diet you lose weight fast AT FIRST but then it slows down BUT Who thinks I can Do it?

Which of the following is NOT true about some of the risks from a diet that is high in protein and low in carbohydrates?
A) a diet high in protein can cause kidney disease, since we have to excrete protein wastes through the kidneys
B) a diet that contains excessive protein (whether from animal source foods or plant sources such as soy) can cause an increase in calcium loss excreted in the urine
C) a high protein diet that comes from animal sources (meats, dairy), can also be a diet higher in saturated fat and cholesterol
D) high intakes of animal sources of protein, particularly red meats, are a risk factor for several kinds of cancer, including colon cancer, breast prostate and pancreatic cancer

I am looking to jump start my dieting and I feel that a colon cleanse would be a good idea to help. I did one several years ago and I felt amazingly well after. What products should I use? There are so many out there I am just not sure!

I just read that Julia from Channel 6News did this diet and she loved it. So I want to try it. The thing is, I’m nursing my son. He’s 11 months so hopefully will be weaning soon (hes going in for tubes in his ears, and possibly his adnoids and tonsils out, so I wont be forcing the weaning till after hes better)

I want to know tho, is the acai trim and colon healing safe for me to take when Im nursing. Ive heard that because the acai is natural, its okay for him, but any additives they put in it (for weight loss) may effect him.

I def don’t want to be using something that can effect/hurt him. But we’re going on vacation this summer and I REALLY want to loose some weight. Ive tried eating healthy and exercise, but its just not cutting it. Plus I cant seem to get in enough time to exercise with my kids. 5 min here and there isn’t enough, and if I try for more, then my son cries and wants me.

I know I should talk to his dr to make sure. But I wsa wondering if anyone on here knows the answer.
thanks.
btw I’m going to post this in a few areas since Im not sure where it should go.

I got her at 6 months old from a reputable breeder. She was the *runt*. She is a year old now and weighs a big 14 pounds.

The first 2 months we had her she was doing great then we had a bout of Pancreatitis.

That cleared up then Giardia. For the last 3 months the Giardia has come and gone. Got her going on Metronidazole 250 mg twice a day for 2 weeks. Did a re-check. The Giardia was worse. Then we did 3 weeks of Panacur. She was starting to have hard stools (which were so big (!) she screamed when she defecated!). This only lasted about a week with diarrhea in between the harder stools.

Now, once again, she is having explosive diarrhea. When I say explosive I am not kidding.

Got another stool sample to my vet. Will know tomorrow if we are dealing with Giardia again.

My vet is thinking about doing biopsy of her colon. He has already done x-rays of her spine which is perfect.

Anyway, I am now putting her on a bland diet of skinless boiled chicken and white rice. If anyone else has any other suggestions I am wide open.

I have also been all over the internet looking at different things this could be and I am coming up with IBD, Colitis and a bunch of other stuff. Very frustrating.

Yes, I have talked to the breeder and she is says there has been no problems with any of her dogs. She was feeding raw and California Naturals. She also raises chickens and sheep. The property and area was very clean and she does the show dog thing. As far as I could surmise she is a reputable breeder.

I feed Evo Chicken and Turkey. Raw is difficult because I have 9 other dogs.

Any suggestions and/or advice is greatly appreciated!
Em: Great idea. I am getting some super answers. I am going to try several things suggested. She had boiled chicken tonight. I have to get the rice but I think I will try the canned pumpkin, yogurt and even the baby food. Her system just needs a good cleaning. I don’t want to have to *fast* her. my vet is trying to stay clear of any kind of envasive procedure which requires anithesia. (sp). I was a nervous wreck when she was spayed. My daughter was in the surgery room and 3 other techs. She was closely monitored.

Okay 2 things, I started Atkins on Monday, and today I noticed when I drag my fingers across my back or stomach skin drags along with it. I don’t know if this is normal since I’m a pretty large dude. All I have been doing is what I’m supposed to be along with some working out, not much like 6 minutes of step ups 40 push ups/ sit ups, mountain climbers, and jogging in place for 10 minutes. I do that maybe 2 times a day. With a less intense version in the middle of the day. And today I feel bloated, like I’m fatter. Please help?
By the way, please no answers telling me they don’t trust the diet. I’m doing it regardless.
And I asked my doctor weeks ago, they said it should be fine as long as I don’t continue on with it forever because it might lead to colon trouble, so I won’t continue with it. Don’t worry.
