Your Questions About Healthy Lifestyle Changes

Mary asks…

Can anyone suggest a healthy menu for a lifestyle change?

I really need to lose about 20 lbs in the next couple of months. I’m willing to work out hard but I also need to keep a healthy diet. Can you guys help me out and come up with a nutritious and delicious menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner with healthy snacks in between. Thanks so much!

admin answers:

NO junk food, fast food, or soda pop. You can lose quite a bit just by that. If you snack, snack on fruit and veggies. Work out. Eat small meals throughout the day and drink lots and lots of water. You don’t really need a menu, that might get boring, but low fat meals is a plus. Sandwiches are good too….good luck!

George asks…

Can drastic lifestyle changes lead to rapid [healthy] weight loss?

A friend of mine had a sudden change of heart about how she’s living. She’s 23 years old, about 5’6 and weighs close to 370 lbs. If she drastically changes her diet and begins exercising regularly, she thinks she might be able to lose 140 lbs. by the middle of December [about 7 months from now]. This doesn’t sound like a healthy amount to be losing that quickly, but her logic is that if she’s switching from an unhealthy life to a healthy life, she won’t encounter any problems.

I’m kind of worried for her health. I’m glad she wants to do something about it and I’m proud of her for trying, but I also don’t want her to get her hopes up for something that’s not even possible… what do you think? Is that possible? Is that healthy?

admin answers:

Safe maximum weight loss is generally considered to be 2 – 3 pounds a week. Five pounds a week is unrealistic for the the long haul. She may loose that much for a short time but not likely over 7 months.

Sandy asks…

Is anyone here planning on starting a new years healthy diet change resolution?

I have gained an increadible amount of weight in the last 10 years, and I have dieted off more than some people weigh. I want to start eating healthier, drinking more water, and exersizing after the 1st of the new year. I dont want to think of it as a diet, but rather a healthy lifestyle change. Any suggestions to improve my eating and exersize plan. I live in freezing east central Illinois. No warm weather here until about May. Do you have any tips or suggestions? I need to drop about 80 lbs.

admin answers:

Go to www.sparkpeople.com
It is a healthy way to lose weight and it is a free site. It’s like having your private nutritionist.
You type in how much you want to lose and by when etc…and they plan out your meals so you can achieve your goal. They have a calorie counter and everything. Plus they give you a fitness plan according to what type of exercising you like to do. It is free with support from the members and a real neat site. I’m really impressed.
Enjoy!

God Bless!

Lisa asks…

Do men and women adapt differently to lifestyle changes?

If you had to, in the space of two months, stop smoking (say it was a light habit: a cigar once or twice a week), drinking (a drink or two a day), caffeine (tea, coffee, cola, energy drnks), red meat, fried foods, salty foods, would you expect your mood to improve due to the healthier lifestyle? Or perhaps might your reaction be quite different?

admin answers:

Those are a lot of dopamine enhancing stimulants and blood sugar raising things. I’d be on suicide watch if I gave them all up at once. A drink or two a day is enough to create withdrawal symptoms in most people.

You haven’t mentioned sugar. A person who has quit caffeine and energy drinks and alcohol is going to be either jonesing for sugar or destabilizing her blood sugar by drinking a lot of fruit juice and other sweet things. Unstable blood sugar is a biitch.

Salt deficiency may cause aggression. That may be what’s wrong with the Yanomamo. Do some research on sea salt and blood pressure. It maty be that sodium alone is what causes blood pressure to rise while naturally occuring salt is a mixture of salts and minerals that balance each other.

Sandra asks…

Cancer & a healthy lifestyle?

How can a healthy lifestyle change a person’s risk of getting cancer?
how it change the risk of getting any type of cancer? I know that cancers are not entirely genetic at all, there are many other factors

admin answers:

I don`t believe it can,. In all cases, lung cancer maybe if you don`t smoke, but there is no proven cause for breast cancer etc. I think your body is either predisposed to over produce cells or not, it`s luck of the draw.

Which of these will make you gain weight and make you fat the most?? (to eat in one day!)

1. Eating 600 calories a day but all unhealthy food (chocolate, ice cream, bisucits etc.)

or…

2. Eating over the recommended calories (about 3000+ calories) but all healthy foods (fruit, meat, veg etc.)

???? thank you!

admin answers:

Number 2

You can’t gain weight if you eat less calories than you need to maintain your weight. But you might become unhealthy if you only ate junk food.

Sandra asks…

How can I lose or gain weight?

The question may be odd. But ive been noticing something about my body, Ive always weighed around 185-195 im either scaling up to 190 then back down to 187 then up again then downer by 185 then it goes on, this has been going on for years. I do work out (running and weight lifting mostly) but there are times i may slack off for a few days, There are times i eat less and work out but i never lose weight. And over the years i can tell my body has lost body fat because a lot of people say i lost weight, yet it doesnt seem like it though because i still weigh the same!..And yes there are times i consume a lot of foods and it can go from fattening foods to non fattening and just a mixed diet of everything, even late nights i would eat sometimes if im up late. I would feel “fat” and when i work out i feel the same again. But still…I am wondering why my scale hasnt gone down, and wondering why i havent really gotten fat like most of my graduate friends from high school. I dont know if i am lucky or not but my height is 6’1 and i weigh around 185-190 around there. I run occasionally and sometimes go to the gym to lift some weights, yet my diet is crap and i pretty much eat anything,..i really need help in maintaining a good diet without going hungry.

Laura asks…

Why is the United States so overweight?

Let me start by saying that I know that a lot of people are born that way but I would like to know why. Here’s my experience based on state:
I live in Georgia, though I lived most of my life in Virginia. Where I lived in Virginia there weren’t nearly as many people that were fiercely overweight. I lived in Tennessee for 3 months, we had a lot of fat people, but not too many.
Now let me get onto my theories as to why the United States is the most overweight:
1. We eat meat from animals raised in factory famrs where they are fed fast-fattening foods to gain weight quicker, and under circumstances where they can hardly move so they can’t exercise, so we’re eating the animals that are more fat than lean meat.
2. We have cut gym out of many school schedules or have severely reduced it’s presence.
3. We have not tought people proper hygiene or health practices.
4. A lot of people refuse to work, exercise, etc. and instead spend time on youtube or on WoW.
5. The presence of all of these game systems have gotten people into the habit of spending all of their time playing games rather than doing productive stuff.
Am I correct here? Are these reasons why the United States is so fat?

Your Questions About Reading Food Labels For Healthy Eating

Carol asks…

Can microwave Pop Corn Kill You? Is this true?

Can microwave Pop Corn Kill You? Is this true?
When you smell that irresistible popcorn popping in the microwave, don’t get too close to smell it because you could end up with popcorn lung disease, a real lung problem caused from inhaling diacetyl. This disease is a rare form of lung damage that causes inflammation and can even lead to the need for a lung transplant if the lungs stop working. Workers in food production often develop this disease from being exposed to the diacetyl on a daily basis.

You’re probably wondering by now how the government of an advanced country can allow chemicals such as these to be in the food of its people. The point of food production today is not to provide healthy nutrients that keep the population healthy. No, it’s to produce more food, more quickly, for more money. Who’s to blame? Are farmers, or the government that mandated that foods be labeled? Small farmers are still a lot like they were generations ago, working their land and feeling good when their crops mature into healthy grains and foods that can be sold to support their families. They are not the guilty party in the slow death of Americans who are fooled into thinking they’re eating healthy food.I read this at www.newsonhealthcare.com
This is the article i found it at,,,,Food That Kills? http://www.newsonhealthcare.com/foods-that-kill/

admin answers:

Diacetyl is no longer present in the major brands of microwave popcorn. And in any case, it was never present in amounts large enough to pose a danger to the average consumer, although it has been implicated in the health problems of some workers in popcorn factories. One consumer who ate many bags of popcorn for years also had some problems, presumably from exposure to diacetyl.

Keep in mind that diacetyl is naturally present in butter, too, and is responsible for part of the odor of melted butter. It’s dangerous to inhale it in large amounts over long periods of time, but it’s not exactly poisonous.

David asks…

Calorie Counting and Dieting: Any Additional Suggestions?

**If you don’t feel like reading the whole thing, assuming you lead a healthy lifestyle (dieting/exercise wise), simply go ahead and leave your best tips/suggestions regarding dieting/exercise**

First of all, I guess I should mention that I’m a 5’8″, 21 (soon to be 22) year old male. Oh, and I weigh 215 lbs =S (38″ waist/pant size). I carry my weight well though, I promise. Most people doubt me when I say I weigh that much; they usually estimate 170-180. At the moment, I can do ~20 push-ups before I have to take a break. I don’t mean for that to sound impressive, but I’m sure it’s more than usual for someone of my stature who leads a sedentary lifestyle (full-time student, part-time desk job, and no exercise). Other than 2 weeks of my freshman year in high-school, I’ve never lifted weights. No sports team either, for that matter. I guess working summers as a carpenter, as well as stacking hay on the side, built me some muscle.

But anyways, I’ve recently started dieting/calorie counting in order to reach my goal of 175 or less – hopefully by summer, but definitely by year’s end. Main reason being, I intend on joining the military once I graduate from college this December. Before this past week, whenever I got hungry (generally 2-3 times a day with a snack or two), I basically ate whatever was around until I was full (usually equivalent to two dollar menu double-cheeseburgers and a small fry). As you may or may not know, when living on a large college campus, there isn’t much more than fast food joints available. So, if it wasn’t fast food (burgers, fries, Chinese takeout, wings, pizza, etc) I was eating, it was homemade beef bologna sandwiches w/ junk food (primarily Cheetos and pop-tarts). Healthy, huh? Well, like everything else I do, I waited until the “last minute” to get in shape. I never doubted my ability, but now that the time is here, it’s time to get to work.

Like I said, I started counting calories and eating healthier foods 8 days ago. The first 2 days, I tried to get by on 500-600 calories a day (crazy, I know). The second two days, I upped it to 900-1000 calories. After still going to bed hungry, and waking up starving, I’m now on a [roughly] 1500-1600 calorie diet. And this is how it looks like:

Breakfast: [7:30-8:00AM] 2-Egg Vegetable Omelet (No Cheese) and Medium Banana (Est. 300 Calories)

Snack: [10:00AM] Medium Banana (Est. 100 Calories)

Lunch: [12:00-12:30PM] 1 and 1/2 Half Cups of Frozen Vegetables (Microwaved), and a Sandwich Made with 100% Whole Grain Bread, 1 Slice of Nonfat American Cheese, 6 Slices of 97% Fat Free Chicken Breast, and Mustard (No Mayo). (Est. 400 Calories)

Snack: [2:00PM] Medium Apple (Est. 80 Calories)

Snack: [4:00PM] (Generally “Heavier” to Last Me Until Dinner)
One of the Following:
1/2 cup (measured dry) 100% Whole Grain Oats with 1 Tbsp of All Natural PB (Est. 350 Calories)
1 serving (~24) Special K Multigrain Crackers with 2 Oz Fat Free Cream Cheese (Est. 190 Calories)

Dinner: [6:30-8:00PM] Wait to Eat Until First Sign of Hunger
One of the Following:
Same as Lunch (Est. 400 Calories)
Subway 6″ 9-Wheat Turkey Breast with Vegetable Toppings and Mustard (No Cheese or Mayo), and Medium Apple (Est. 360 Calories)

TOTAL:Anywhere from 1430 to 1630 Calories Daily

Most of those calorie estimates are quite accurate, since I read all nutrition labels when available, and am an accounting major, therefore know how to count ;P I should note that when it comes to dinner, I wait until I’m hungry to begin eating, so I’m not hungry again by the time I lay down for bed (which I try for 10:30PM). So far (in 8 days), I’ve lost 5-7 pounds, depending on how accurate my scale is. Don’t forget that I practically starved myself for the first four days though. There is also water weight to account for, but if anything, I like to think I’ve gained water weight. Before this diet, I’d drink MAYBE a glass per day max, with no exercise/sweating. However, I did drink two or three bottles of diet coke or diet green tea w/ citrus a day. Now that I’m dieting, I’ve only drank water, and that’s a 16.9-20oz bottle with EVERY meal/snack, PLUS SOME. I forgot to mention that earlier. Oh, I’m also taking 400mg of caffeine, a complex B vitamin, as well as a men’s one-a-day multivitamin with breakfast everyday, for energy and as an “insurance policy” for vitamins I may not otherwise consume. Without the former two, I wouldn’t make it through half a day, because of the minimal calorie intake. I’ve used a couple BMR and RMR calculators, and the average is around 2300 calories; which means I’m running on a deficit of roughly 700-800 calories a day. I have yet to exercise any, but I have a stationary bicycle being delivered in 3 days. I plan on biking an hour each morning when I wake up, at 60-70% of max he
As I was saying, before it cut me off… I plan on biking an hour each morning when I wake up, at 60-70% of max heart rate, but I may have to add an extra snack in there somewhere.

The above is my usual meal Monday through Friday. On the weekends, I actually eat less, since I sleep in and eat less meals during the day. Plus, I actually make my own omelets with egg whites only.

And I know that there are a lot of carbs included in my diet, but bread is quite filling for its price. Keep in mind that I’m a poor college student with a small budget, haha.

Overall, good routine, yeah? Anything else I should consider?

admin answers:

Make sure you are getting everything you need by using the tools on http://www.choosemyplate.gov/

If you find yourself unable to wait between meals, try smaller meals throughout the day. Also make sure you are drinking plenty of water. If you haven’t already, get a reusable water bottle and fill it up at your campus water fountain or hydration station if you have one. Not only is it calorie free, but it’s also free from an economical standpoint.

I’m also a college student and understand the frustration of not being able to find anything besides fast food and well… Fast food. :D LOL If you have a grocery store nearby — try buying some healthier foods and preparing yourself snacks and entrees to substitute the fast food. I live in an actual house (not a dorm) so this is pretty easy for me. If you live in a dorm, there are some quick and easy dorm recipes online, and you can kind of do your best to substitute unhealthy things for healthier options (ex: ).

Other ideas include: using those food tracker apps (there are dozens of them for smart phones, tablets, and the iPod Touch).

Best of luck, hope all goes well for you! :-)

Joseph asks…

I think it’s pretty stupid how all these girls are considered chubby when…?

I weigh the same and I’m on the track team.

I just got done reading a bunch of questions asking about being overweight at 5’1, 140 lbs.
I’m 5’1 and 135, only 5 pounds lighter. But, I actually have breasts and have since a young age, and I’ve been on the track and field team since freshman year, and I joined cross country in 7th and 8th grade.

I don’t see why these girls are being told they should weigh 110-115 when they’re 5’1, because that definitely will not be a possibility for me. But I excersise. And eat healthy. My mom wont buy junk or unhealthy foods, she does calorie and total fat counts on the food labels.

So doesn’t muscle weight count for something? Why do people say girls at 5’1 should weigh so little?

admin answers:

Youre right, its more about the body fat percentage than it is about weight.

You need to judge yourself by how toned and muscular you are, not by what you see on the scale.

Peoplke are just stupid on here soemtimes and do not know what they are talking about. You need more than just weight to determine a person to be fit or unfit.

Lizzie asks…

Teenager, obsessed with being vegan, to the point of eating disorder? Please, help me.?

Sorry this may be rather long but any help is appreciated…
I’m a fifteen year old girl , and I became vegetarian when I was 12, and vegan at 13. I’ve always loved animals and the thought of eating them upsets me. When I was a vegetarian I felt great, so I went to vegan. My choice to go vegan was mainly ethical, but I think part of it was a way for me to cut my calories and find ways to get out of eating. After a few months of being vegan, I started really researching EVERYTHING I ate, reading labels like crazy, counting calories, and becoming really obsessive. It’s been two years of this. I count every calorie I eat. I went through a phase where I would only eat celery and broccoli (everything else had too many calories) until I started getting dizzy and eventually fainted.
I stopped all the crazy starving myself for the most part, but when I feel I’ve eaten too many calories I sometimes make myself sick. I know it’s disgusting but I can’t help it. (This happens maybe once or twice a month.)
I am so obsessed with food and I hate everything about it. I’ve been gaining weight, and I think it’s because I’ll go a period of days without eating, and when I do eat I gain all the weight. (I know about getting at least 1200 calories, starvation mode, BMI, my healthy weight, and all that.) I’ve been going crazy trying to get all the B12 and iron I need.
I always skip breakfast (and lie to my family about eating), I never eat lunch at school (I lie to my friends about forgetting it, not being hungry, etc) and I eat when I get home from school.

My question is, would it be better for me to go back to being just a vegetarian for now? Or stay vegan? I’ve become so food obsessed that I have anxiety now, I have nightmares about gaining weight. I think going vegetarian might help me stop worrying so much, but the thought of the poor animals makes me sick. I don’t know what to do.
Please, help me.
Also; Could it be just that I’m not mature enough to handle being vegan and healthy? If I do go back to vegetarian, it would be only until I can get myself back on my feet, so to speak. I love being vegan.
And to Alice; You posted that 10 seconds after I posted my question. You didn’t even read it…/: thanks though.

admin answers:

Veganism isn’t the problem, it’s your disordered eating.

Please remain a vegan, if you can. See a therapist who specializes in this area. It could be developing OCD, even.

Take care, lovely.

Ruth asks…

Stop counting calories and start living :) ?

That’s my new philosophy. Honestly, I’ve counted calories for the past 4 months or so and lost a lot of weight. Now that I’m happy weighing 105 lbs and more health concious I have learned to listen to my body and live an active life. I eat when I’m hungry and stop eating when I’m full (I only eat healthy foods so it’s not like I eat cakes and brownies when I’m hungry). I’ve learned to trust that my body will naturally let me know if I need those extra 300 calories to reach the amount that is RECOMMENDED I need. I trust that my body will probably consume those 300 calories I underate that day and maybe make it up another day by eating 300 calories extra. it will balance out. I don’t know, I’ve just realized that I’ve become aware of what foods I need to eat and counting calories doesn’t really affect me. I mean I still read labels to make sure I’m not putting junk in my body, but I don’t really see any use in looking up how much you should consume a day and try to reach that number.
I mean look at other countries. The people there are for the most part thinner than us Americans and they don’t obsess over how many calories they consume. They eat naturally, the way we’re suppose to.

admin answers:

You trained your body in that 4 months when enough was enough. Most Americans eat and eat and eat and do not know when to stop. During soccer season, I may consume 3000 calories but I am using most of those on the field. Therefore, the counting is not the most important part but rather knowing what you should eat and how much.

Congrats on your accomplishment.

Your Questions About Obesity Epidemic Causes

Betty asks…

Could you critique my argument on the obesity epidemic in the US? SORRY but it’s about a page?

TELL ME WHAT YOU AGREED OR DISAGREED WITH. THANK YOU. :)

America is definitely not trying hard enough to push towards a healthy diet. The US is one of the fattest countries in the world. With approximately two-thirds of Americans being overweight, this is the first generation in 2 centuries to have a shorter life expectancy than its predecessor. Something has to change. If other countries can live a healthier lifestyle, so can the US.

In my ideal world, the government would step in and enforce healthy foods in America. High fructose corn syrup and hormones in meat, the deadly ingredients in the majority of artificial foods, would be banned by the FDA or highly discouraged like in Europe and Canada. Fast food restaurants such as McDonalds would close down like in Iceland or just wouldn’t be a popular place to eat. Politicians would have listened to Michelle Obama when she criticized the golden arches for contributing to child obesity. (Surprisingly, few politicians validated her argument, since obesity is an American stereotype eminent around the world. McDonalds needed to add more healthy items on the kid’s menu just to win her praise.) And lastly, there wouldn’t be a fast food place or a Starbucks at every corner of downtown Chicago.

But let’s come back to reality. The real reason why America doesn’t push for healthy eating is the economy depends on junk food. American companies earn too much money mixing in corn syrup, fat and salt to their products. I agree with the author that Americans – people- like to eat tasty items that aren’t healthy. Baby carrots cannot compete with a Key Lime Pie right now. Furthermore, fast food restaurants like McDonalds are universal, earning billions of dollars overseas. How can you get rid of something that’s profitable? The US health care would not be rolling in money either if it didn’t have sick and obese Americans to treat. The American healthcare system ranks 37th compared to other countries. Many Americans cannot pay the crippling medical bills. Suppose that you suffer from heart disease, the leading cause of death in America, which is also triggered by obesity. If you can’t afford treatment… you’re screwed. If the US truly cared about health over money, something revolutionary would have happened a long time ago.

In contrast to Alicia Garcia from the Chicago Tribune, I do believe placement of supermarkets could encourage a healthy lifestyle. Case in point, Detroit is considered a food desert. It lack places with fresh produce, but it has loads of fast food places, liquor stores, and a dozen billboard promoting cigarettes. Often times the only place to buy a gallon of milk or oatmeal is at the gas station. We take the availability of grocery stores for granted. I agree with Garcia that fresh fruits and vegetables can be pricey compared to Big Macs. Thus, economic status and location can be correlated to weight gain. America needs to include more grocery stores in impoverished areas, raise awareness of healthy eating like in the suburbs, make bike pathways, and create food gardens in vacant lots. Informing the public about healthy eating is most crucial, otherwise people will walk right past the fruits and vegetables no matter where they live. Location does make a difference. Without grocery stores, residents are even allowed the option of healthy choices.

Americans cannot close their eyes to the obesity epidemic any longer. We can’t have an “Oh well” approach to our health. Problems are tackled one step at a time.
Apparently the ones in Icelands aren’t doing so well which is unheard of in US

admin answers:

Carol asks…

ISN’T obesity good? SEE & reflect?

Sure, obesity is an epidemic and causes serious health problems, it also takes a lot of our taxes away because people with obesity have medical problems but …

1) Obesity is a lifestyle, people choose to eat foods they like over exercising. (Yeah, people with genetic disposition could exercise and eat healthy as well.) Living in the U.S., I say we can’t limit freedom.

2) They generate huge economics for companies, weight-watchers, gym, pharmacy, cloths, etc. That’s a lot of revenue going on. They are part of the driving force behind capitalism.

3) They create loads of jobs for everyone, such as nurses, doctors, physical therapist, psychologist, journalist, tv host, advertistments, media, dietition…the list goes on.

admin answers:

You know, I just read a story that said while obese individuals are more prone to heart attacks, they are also more likely to survive them… Isn’t that weird? And i think obese individuals spending more money on medical and pharmaceuticals bills actually HELPS the economy… Unless they’re on welfare, but then they should be able to afford to get that big. On the other hand, it IS cheaper to eat unhealthy what with $1 menus and all… All in all, freedom reigns. It’s their choice.
Oh, and obesity surgery does NOT clog up the OR… There are specialists that do just that, obesity surgery. Would someone who needed open heart surgery go somewhere where they only do gastric bypass??

Richard asks…

The obesity epidemic?

Is it being caused by women’s rights movement? If so this is a dreadful movement! Now they sit around stuffin their maws with nothin productive to do, gettin fat and not half worth a second look. You know back in the old days women churned butter and milked cows and whatnots and if the horse died on the way to town well goshdarnit she pulled the wagon. All this nonsense about women’s rights has us bein a downright fat and unhealthy society Im tellin ya.

Sharon asks…

US Obesity Epidemic: Your opinions please?

I recently posted a question about this and asked if people didn’t agree that it is mostly caused by our city planning, and the ideal that everyone should live out away from urban centers, and basically only need to walk from the front door, to the car, then to the car to the door of whatever building, and most people answered that it was the food we eat. Well I’ve lived half of my 30 odd years in various parts of Europe, and the other half in the US, and I can tell you first hand that the food is not that different, and people young and old eat high fat, high carbohydrates, McDonalds, fast food and sodas, just like Americans. The only real difference I see is how we structure our towns and small cities, and how much Europeans, because of a lack of space, are forced to walk so much. Believe me, if you haven’t been to Europe, its too inconvenient to drive and park everywhere you need to shop, go to the bank, pharmacy, work, school etc… You save time by walking, so everyon does it.

admin answers:

You have a point vis-a-vis Europe vs. The US. There are more wide-open spaces in the US; cities are bigger, more spread out; the countryside is vast. Maybe we should be compared to Russia and surrounding ex-Soviet territories or perhaps China. But Europe would have to be squeezed much more tightly together; thus walking to all destinations in a city might be doable. An interesting case in point for “squeezed together” is the extreme example of Japan. Living space is at a premium there, and while the Japanese are still less obese than Americans, they and many other countries are slowly catching up. It isn’t just the city planning but a fundamental shift in the way consumerism has taught us to eat.

Donald asks…

Does eating fat make you feel full for longer?

I’ve been hearing that fat is actually good for us and that refined carbohydrates are the real cause of obesity epidemics. Is this true?

admin answers:

You have hit the nail on the head you are exactly right in your thinking.

In the 40/50′s fat was seen as the BAD macro nutrient and related to high cholesterol levels which promoted and age of high carbohydrate resulting. Result of that out dated thinking is a nation/nations which are fatter than ever as science now shows that fat helps stop you from overeating by keeping you fuller for blood glucose levels stable. This is essential for maintaining a healthy weight.

However; as we are now eating a high carbohydrate diet we gaining fat at an alarming rate even though we are eating low fat; why? Carbohydrates elevate blood sugar. This in turn controls your hormones that are responsible for fat release, fat storage and the feeling of satiety/fullness because this will in turn stop a person overeating. Because we are not taking in fat and in a lot of case enough protein either, the high carbohydrates we are taking in are readily converted into saturated fat and body in the body causing much more damage then if we were to have just eaten fat. This completely negates the whole point of eating low fat, doesn’t it. Had we just eaten fat we would more than like have eaten less. Our blood sugar levels would have remained more constant and you body would not store your meal as fat.

So yes you are right. Science now supports this yet we still use the same outdated food pyramid from a bygone age.

I actually use a high fat, high/medium protein and a low carb diet. This keeps my weight where I want it.

thanks

admin answers:

When you use a bmi calculator, it doesn’t ask you how active you are or what you eat and vice versa.

The only way I think you can really tell is if you feel good, eat well and exercise, which it sounds like you do!

Thomas asks…

are BMI calculators on the internet accurate?

ok so im around 202
6’0 male
and i do a lot of weight training
most of the time twice a day (been workin out for 1 year and a half)
i have a lot of upper body muscle (arms, chest, etc)
well so the thing is that the BMI calculator tells me im overweight
would this be accurate for a muscular person like me?
im not like pro bodybuilder buff but im in the buff category : )

admin answers:

Since you are a muscular person, the BMI calculators would not be accurate for you. Muscle weighs more than fat, so even though the BMI calculators say you’re overweight, you’re probably at a healthy weight.

It’s just I used the NHS BMI calculator, and said I was 16… and all that, and it came up saying I was a healthy weight, but on the graph, it said I was nearly overweight!! I barely look overweight, and I do exercise so does it matter if it says I’m nearly overweight if I do exercise?

Is BMI really reliable?

Im a 20 year old male. Im 5 foot 11 (180cm), and I weigh 184 lb. According to the BMI calculator I am overweight. But according to the body fat, I am considered as lean (my body fat is 17%). I work out regulary, so I have a big body.

admin answers:

The BMI doesn’t take into account muscle mass, so unless you’re fat and devoid of any muscle it’s not accurate.

Anyone that is in shape and works out will be overweight according to the BMI.

Can someone please help me summarize :( ?

I have always had trouble summarizing.
I simply don’t know what to eliminate! :(
My summary that i wrote so far is longer than the article!!!!!! =[

The article is on Cholesterol :

Few people recognize cholesterol as a natural and essential part of our body. To many, it’s something that should be avoided completely and people go to great lengths to avoid foods that contain it.

But our body needs cholesterol to digest foods, produce hormones and to protect our cells.

Confusion about cholesterol exists because many people don’t realize there is a difference between blood cholesterol and dietary cholesterol.

Blood cholesterol is the cholesterol that circulates in your blood. Most of it – about 80 per cent – is produced by your liver. Dietary cholesterol is the stuff found in foods from animal sources (there is no cholesterol in plant foods). Meat, fish, poultry, eggs and dairy products all provide cholesterol in varying amounts. Only about 20 per cent of the cholesterol in your blood comes from eating foods that contain it.

If you have been told that you have high cholesterol, your health professional is talking about your blood cholesterol levels. These are a concern because they’re a major risk factor for heart disease. If you have high blood cholesterol or have a history of heart disease in your family, reducing your blood cholesterol to a healthy level is important for long-term good health.

Cholesterol from foods is often blamed for high blood cholesterol levels. But for most people, cholesterol from foods has little effect on blood cholesterol levels. Family history, diabetes and thyroid, kidney or liver disease, smoking, lack of exercise, excess body weight and high fat diets are all important factors.

High intakes of fat, especially saturated fat and trans fatty acids, are mainly responsible for increasing total and LDL (bad) blood cholesterol levels. Saturated fats are found mostly in meat, egg yolks, dairy products made from whole milk, and foods that contain hydrogenated fat, including palm or coconut oils.

Trans fats (also called trans fatty acids) are found in foods that contain partially hydrogenated fats such as shortening, some margarine, French fries, doughnuts, breaded and fried chicken and fish, crackers, chips, cookies and bakery products. Trans fats act like saturated fats in our bodies and increase total and LDL blood cholesterol levels but also reduce HDL (good) blood cholesterol levels.

Monounsaturated fats are found mostly in canola, olive and peanut oils and foods made with these oils, nuts and seeds. These fats help decrease total and LDL blood cholesterol.

Polyunsaturated fats are found in oils made from sunflowers, safflowers, corn, soybeans, nuts, flaxseed and sesame seeds. These fats have been found to reduce total and LDL blood cholesterol levels, particularly when eaten as part of a diet that is lower in fat.

The accepted approach for lowering or keeping blood cholesterol levels in a healthy range is to focus on reducing your total fat intake, especially the amount of saturated and trans fat that you eat. Omitting foods simply because they contain cholesterol is not the answer. Dairy products, meat and eggs all contains cholesterol but avoiding these foods could prevent you from getting some of the important nutrients found is these foods such as calcium, protein, iron, zinc or B-vitamins.

Follow these steps to healthier blood cholesterol levels:
.

Exercise regularly. Make higher-fibre foods such as whole grain breads and cereals, fruits and
vegetables the focus of each meal. Include more meals made with meat alternatives such as beans, peas, lentils and tofu. Choose lower-fat dairy products such as buttermilk, skim milk, 1% milk, and yogurt and cottage cheese made with 1% milk fat or less. Enjoy fish more often, choose lean cuts of meat, have poultry without skins and limit serving sizes to about the size of a deck of cards. Eat foods prepared with little or no extra fat. Have foods containing shortening or partially hydrogenated fats and oils in moderation.
Read labels: “Cholesterol-free” foods can still be high in fat. Some examples include potato chips
and cookies.
Switching to a diet that is lower in fat, higher in fibre and participating in regular physical activity can help keep your blood cholesterol in a healthy range

admin answers:

Your problem is that your are explaining everything in far too much detail

example

Monounsaturated fats are found mostly in canola, olive and peanut oils and foods made with these oils, nuts and seeds. These fats help decrease total and LDL blood cholesterol.

Polyunsaturated fats are found in oils made from sunflowers, safflowers, corn, soybeans, nuts, flaxseed and sesame seeds. These fats have been found to reduce total and LDL blood cholesterol levels, particularly when eaten as part of a diet that is lower in fat.

Change to something like “The article explains the effect of monounsturated and polyunstaured fats and gives examples of the types of food they are in”

You can do drastic surgery like that on most of your explanation

Lisa asks…

Does eating fat free foods lower cholesterol?

Not concerned about losing weight but our doc said my husband is at a good weight and overall healthy but is leaning towards having high cholesterol or triglycerides and recommended pills but we’d like to avoid that as long as possible. Of course by eating better but will eating fat free foods help? Even if its just a little bit, he doesn’t seem to notice the difference in taste but I keep seeing all the articles about how fat free is ‘bad‘ so I really like to know if this is for the better or not.

admin answers:

You should listen to your doctor. Dietary fats do not necessarily correlate with blood lipids. The body will make cholesterol and some people will have high cholesterol while eating very limited amounts of fat. Still others will have low cholesterol while eating a lot of fats. The high cholesterol problem seems to be genetic in some, dietary in others, and still a combination of the two in others.

Meds like Zocor offer good protection with minimal side effects and may have other benefits for heart health as well.

Good luck and good health!!

Ken asks…

Reflux what foods to avoid?

Ok two nights ago i drank heavy while watching the boxing match end of the night i was getting drowsy so the boys got me a vodka and mother energy drink. The next day i woke to have a coffee then 2hrs later i had a glass of coke a half hour later after that at around 10am i had a meat pie for lunch swallowed it fine, but was still hungry so had a small pasta dish as well with a tomato based sauce in it and found i had trouble swallowing it.

Then i had real hard time getting a breath in and the shortness of breath and tingling in the face and arms got worse i ended up in the er of hospital for 5hrs I had tests done blood results for heart cholesterol etc were fine (father has heart problems)and my chest was clear (an ex smoker too btw) had a little excessive burping and heartburn too from the burps and was finally told the prognosis was I have GORD Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.

But I have only had heartburn a little like last week where i had it for two days and just passed it off has either too much wine the night before or the chilli in the meal the other night and yesterday the swallowing trouble got myself worried same with the SOB they think my symptoms were a combination of reflux and anxiety and hyperventilation but is it normal to pick up reflux problems just like that? i thought it was something one would have a born disposition to. What foods drink should I avoid so to not get the heartburn again.

Sharon asks…

Is margarine really as bad as the email I read?

I read this email that said that margarine is really really bad for you and is only one molecule away from being plastic. Is this true? Here’s the email:

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it
killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the
research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure
out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a
white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring
and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it?
They have come out with some clever new flavorings.
DO YOU KNOW…the difference between margarine and butter?
Read on to the end…gets very interesting!
Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5
grams.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over
eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard
Medical Study.

Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in
other foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few only
because they are added!
Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the
flavors of other foods.
Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around
for less than 100 years.
And now, for Margarine..
Very high in trans fatty acids
Triple risk of coronary heart disease.
Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and
lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)
Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.
Lowers quality of breast milk.
Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.

And here’s the most disturbing fact..! .. HERE IS THE PART THAT IS
VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC..
This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and
anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added,
changing the molecular structure of the substance).
You can try this yourself:
Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded
area. Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things:
* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that
should tell you something) * it does not rot or smell differently
because it has no nutritional value; nothing will grow on it Even
those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow. Why?
Because it is nearly plastic. Would you melt your Tupperware and
spread that on your toast?

Mark asks…

What natural supplements can help control cholesterol?

I have elevated cholesterol and I would like to get it under control. I have changed my diet considerably. I am eating very healthy foods now and I am avoiding junk and non nutritional foods at all costs, including diet soda. I would like to help get it under control even further. Please let me know what I can take to help get the bad cholesterol under control. I have been taking a slight break from the gym this summer, but I will return in September. I know exercise is good. I thank you for all of the good and informative responses in advance. If you do not have a good response, please do not post it. I wouldn’t want you to lose 10 points. :-)

admin answers:

I am a third year medical student, and we prescribe niacin, also known as vitamin B3, to help lower cholesterol. It specifically raises your HDL, or good cholesterol, which in men should be above 40, and women above 45. It also helps to lower LDL (bad cholesterol) as well as triglycerides. It is also known as nicotinic acid, and should be available in the vitamin section of your local store. It tends to have the side effect of flushing, but you can lessen that if you take it with an aspirin (just make sure it is ok for you to take aspirin… I don’t know your medical conditions! For instance, if you have stomach ulcers or if NSAIDs bother you, you probably shouldn’t take it). I pasted a link here about it which will help explain it better. Good luck!

We are doing a Physical Fitness test soon in PE class?

Our gym teacher said if it is raining tomorrow, then we are doing our fitness test, but it isn’t gonna rain, so we are doing flag football outside. However, we need to do it some point, maybe this week, and we have to do pull ups (I can’t do those!), and he has to see how many pushups, situps we can do, and do the meter run.

Your Questions About Healthy Foods For Kids

Donna asks…

I need some healthy food ideas for my kids to go to daycare with. I work full time so easy foods but healthy?

admin answers:

I’ll bet your kids would enjoy fresh fruit with fruit dip. Fruits dips are easy to make, and kids think it’s really elegant to have personal cups of dip. Here’s a big collection of different fruit dips. There should be something that the kids would like – well – several I’d think.

Sandra asks…

Should parents be charged for letting their kids overeat?

When parents allow their child permission to devulge in many inappropriate foods, it starts a slow engine of destruction to their bodies in the future, physically and emotionally. This habit leads towards different factors of death, whether the parents know it or not. Some parents don’t have enough funding to give their kids healthy food; others are simply not informed about how to maintain good health; yet others knowingly give unhealthy food to their kids because they themselves cannot cut their habits. Where should society draw the line as a whole and should the government be held somewhat accountable and thus do something to fix this problem? Or does this really lie only in the industries that push this way of living forward? What should really be done?

admin answers:

Aside from education there should be no government involvement in the matter.

Healthy food is not nearly as expensive as junk food.

A culture that is less exploitive of labor and more conducive to education and having a parent in the home is needed.

More police-state rules and guilt are not the answer except for the few who would profit from it. I can just imagine how well mandatory nutritional counseling would be received. Probably result in a lot of dead nutritionists.

Sandy asks…

healthy meals for my kids..?

Ok, so i want to start feeding my kids healthier foods when they are younger & myself and my husband as well. I was wondering if anyone had a few healthy (but that kids will eat) for me to try out? An entire meal would be great! Thanks.

admin answers:

Cut out the crap, fast foods/fat. Eat lots of veg (do ya need a list of veg). Chicken is good, grill sausages/bacon stay off French fries (ya think they are made with potatoes?) buy oven chips the list is endless .lol

Mark asks…

what r some healthy fast and easy food i can cook for kids under 5 yrs old?

ok I need to cook so healthy food for my kids but im not a good cooker at all!
so what will ya recommend i need something fast and easy.

admin answers:

Part of the trick is to make things they like but in a more healthy way. For example most kids love chicken nuggets and french fries. From McDs they’re very unhealthy but if you do it at home they’re reasonably healthy and taste great. Also kids will love fruits and veggies if they just get used to eating them. I grew up in a house where they were served every day and I love them to this day.

Oven Chicken Nuggets – two options here, both really good

2 skinless boneless chicken breasts
1 ½ cps cereal flakes (I like Product 19 best)
1 tsp Parsley
1 tsp Basil
½ tsp oregano
Salt & Pepper

1 egg
1 Tbls water

Preheat oven to 350*. Trim chicken breasts of all fat and cut into chunks. Mix egg and water in a shallow bowl. Put the cereal in a blender and grind as fine as you like. Place the crushed cereal flakes in a shallow bowl and stir in the herbs, salt and pepper to taste.

Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Dredge the chicken chunks in the egg mixture and then coat them in the cereal a few at a time. Place the chicken chunks on the baking sheet. Bake 20-25 min or until chicken is done through.

OR

2 skinless boneless chicken breasts
1 ½ cps Sour Cream and Chive Potato Chips, crushed
1 cp Ranch dressing

Preheat oven to 350*. Trim chicken breasts of all fat and cut into chunks. Put Ranch dressing in a shallow bowl. Put the chips in a baggie and crush till they are small crumbs.

Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Dredge the chicken chunks in the dressing and then drop them in the baggie with the crumbs a few at a time. Place the coated chicken chunks on the baking sheet. Bake 20-25 min or until chicken is done through.

Oven Fries – I love fries and these are much healthier than those from your favorite fast food place but just as delicious – better than some.

2 med baking potatoes (great with yams also)
½ tablespoon olive oil
1 pinch white sugar – helps with browning
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon Salad Supreme

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil, and coat well with cooking spray. Scrub potatoes well, peel or not as you like and cut into 1/2 inch thick fries. Place cut fries in a lrg bowl.

Sprinkle with the olive oil, sugar and seasonings, toss to coat all fries evenly. Spread on baking sheet in one layer.

After 20 minutes, remove from oven and turn fries with a pancake turner. This will help them brown evenly and keep them from sticking. Bake another 10 minutes, until potatoes are tender and browned. Serve immediately.

To cut the potatoes – first, cut them in half lengthwise. Then take each half and cut it vertically into strips. Lay the strips on their side and cut them vertically in half. The strips from the sides may not be wide enough to cut in half. You should have about 16 – ½” fries from a med potato, more or less.

Christine Johnson, a researcher and author, compiled this list of conditions documented in the scientific literature to cause positives on HIV
tests, and provides references for each condition.

Christine notes:

“Just because something is on this list doesn’t mean that it will definitely, or even probably, cause a false-positive. It depends on what
antibodies the individual carries as well as the characteristics of each particular test kit.

For instance, some, but not all people who have had blood transfusions,
prior pregnancies or an organ transplant will make HLA antibodies. And some, but not all test kits (both ELISA and Western blot) will be
contaminated with HLA antigens to which these antibodies can react. Only if these two conditions coincide might you get a false-positive
due to HLA cross-reactivity.

There are conditions that are more likely than others to cause false-positives. And there are some conditions that we aren’t aware of yet which
may be documented in the future to cause false-positives. Some of the factors on the list have been documented only for ELISA, while some
have been documented for both ELISA and Western blot (WB) tests.

People may be eager to argue that if a factor is only known to cause false-positives on ELISA, this problem won’t be carried over to the
WB. But remember, a WB is positive by virtue of accumulating enough individual positive bands to add up to the total required by whatever
criteria is used to interpret it 39. So the more exposure a person has had
to foreign antigens, proteins and infectious agents, the more various antibodies he or she will have in their system, and the more likely it is
that there will be several cross-reacting antibodies, enough to make the WB positive.

It is to be noted that all AIDS risk groups (and Africans as well), but not the general US or Western European population, have this problem
in common: they have been exposed to a plethora of foreign antigens and proteins. This is why people in the AIDS “risk groups” tend to
have positive WBs (i.e., to be considered “HIV-infected”) and people in the
population don’t. However, even people in low-risk populations have false-positive Western blots for poorly understood reasons 47.

Since false-positives to every single HIV protein have been documented 36, how do we know if the positive WB bands represent the various
proteins to HIV, or a collection of false-positive bands reacting to several different non-HIV antibodies?”

I”M NEG woo hoo just wanted to know what does this mean,,

admin answers:

There’s a bunch of people out there who variously believe that HIV does not cause AIDS, or that AIDS does not exist, or that HIV is not sexually transmitted. They have been well and truly refuted on all counts.

They make pests of themselves by spamming various websites and bulletin boards with long copy and paste posts, mostly taken from two or three AIDS denialist websites. They attacked Yahoo answers for a few months last year. It looks like they’re still spamming boards with the same stuff. The numbers in this post originally referred to footnotes, but the text has been copied and pasted so many times that the footnotes have disappeared from most versions.

————————————————————–

It is true that false positive ELISA tests for HIV occur – about 3 in 1000 tests give a false positive. The list is of apparent causes for these false positives.

Positive ELISA tests are always followed up by a confirmatory test – usually a Western Blot or similar. A diagnosis of HIV infection is only made if both tests are positive. The rate of false diagnoses using both tests together is extremely low.

Negative ELISA tests by themselves, however, are quite reliable, so long as they are done after the window period (13 weeks).

David asks…

How well do you know your food? (carbs, proteins, fats, diet + health issues + obesity)?

**Answer any or all if you know them off the top of your head, don’t research if you don’t want to (but you can if you do want to!)

1 What is the difference between “complexcarbohydrates and other kinds of carbohydrates? Why are complex better?

2 What is the healthiest kind of sugar substitute, if you want to avoid too many refined sugars in your diet? Why is it a good choice?

3 What are “trans fats” that have been in the news so mnuch lately? Why are they being banned from restaurants and processed foods?

4 Why is too much protein in your diet not a goood thing? What happens when you eat too much protein? How much is enough?

5 What are the best sources of protein for someone who is a strict vegetarian (vegan)?

6 Where do all the nucleotides come from to make DNA and RNA? If you started out as one cell with 6 billion DNA molecules in your 46 chromosomes and now you have trillions of cells with that much in each, plus all the RNA in each cell, where does it all come from?

7 Which countries have the healthiest diets? Do they also have the best record for staying healthy and living longer?

8 What states have the highest and lowest obesity rates? (List 5 for each) Where does Maine rank?

9 List the 3 most serious health issues facing people today and how diet could be a part of the prevention and/or treatment for each one.

10 If a food package claims that there is no cholesterol in the product, does that mean it is healthy? Describe at least 2 reasons why this is often not the case.

admin answers:

1, Complex carbs i would take a stab and say are better because they are slow-releasing, thus release energy slower e.g oats, bread are typical complex carbs. Other carbs like chocolate give you immediate energy but then it quickly goes, and you’re hungry again….not good if wanting to maintain or lose weight.
2. Honey
3. Hydrogenated fat is the biggy here…..look this up for more info but it is thought that it can cause cancer. Lots of products are working to cut hydrogenated vegetable oils out of their foods now.
4. Too much protein puts a massive strain on the liver and kidneys because they must work harder to remove the excess amino acids from the body. Kidney stones can be caused.
5. Umm….i’d guess and say nuts but i’m not too sure what vegans eat.
6. I’m clueless lol
7. The mediterranean diet is meant to be the best.
8. American =The highest obesity rates and i’d say the UK is up there too.
9. Heart disease, cancer, stroke……good diet prevents this
10. There is good and bad cholesterol.
