Weight Loss	special k diet	Feb 15 2007 01:54 (UTC)	1
Research has shown that eating the same thing for 2 meals a day can over time make you loose weight. I have lost over 40 lbs. on the Special K diet.
The Lounge	Subway... you suck.	Feb 11 2007 16:55 (UTC)	31
Subway is good...... I would eat half of the sandwich and save the other half for another day of the week. Try putting half of it in a to-go box/bag before you even start eating the other half so you are not as tempted to eat the other half then and there. Good luck!
Health & Support	The Master Cleanse/Lemonade Diet	Feb 11 2007 16:50 (UTC)	75
I only have one piece of advice for you: Always contact a medical professional before starting any type of dieting, excerise, or cleansing program. Cleansing programs can flush out nutrients needed. Too much water can reduce salt levels to dangerous levels. Contact a registered physician before starting this plan.
Weight Loss	need help	Feb 11 2007 16:47 (UTC)	1
According to the BMI index, you are at a healthy weight for your age. I would maybe consider doing toning excerise if that is what you are looking for. Remember: You should always contact a medical professional before starting any diet and excerise plan. Good Luck!
Weight Loss	What's happening to me?	Feb 11 2007 16:44 (UTC)	3
When your immune system is down, it has a hard time controlling weight loss. Do not weigh yourself every day, as water levels flucuate from day to day. If you ever get sick, I would eat lots of liquid-condensed foods like soup, etc... Drink lots of water. Since you are currently on a diet, I would eat a little bit more normal amount of calories when you are sick and slowly transition back to the diet when you feel better. Get better soon!
Motivation	my story, can you relate? (plz)	Feb 11 2007 16:39 (UTC)	9
My advice to you is to not loose any more weight... You are at a fine weight for your age. Too much weight loss can also effect your health. You need so many calories a day so your body can operate normally which is including breathing, etc.... If you have more questions about your weight, talk to your doctor or your school nurse. I am sure they would be more than happy to talk to you about what you should do. I calculated your Body Mass Index and you are at a healthy weight. Good luck and feel free to ask more questions!
Weight Loss	Is dairy a culprit...	Feb 11 2007 16:25 (UTC)	47
The effects of drinking skim milk over 2% is great for your body. Milk contains a lot of calcium (which most of you I would hope already know). However, your body does not need the extra fat from 2% milk. It has been proven that milk can help you lose weight. The 3 a day of dairy plan is an example of that. Anytime you have dairy products, I would reccommend that you have low-fat or fat-free products. The American Heart Assocation reccommends that anyone over the age of 2 should have skim milk. Stay away from that ice cream! lol Edit: (Got some extra info your you) Drinking milk regularly does not cause coronary artery problems and can actually protect against poor health, say scientists. There had been concerns that too much milk and dairy products could be harmful to health as it leads to high cholesterol levels. And researchers had linked milk drinking to breast cancer. Our study does seem to show that a bit of what you like does seem to do you good Dr Andy Ness, Bristol University But the Bristol University study revealed that even drinking full fat milk, more common a couple of decades ago, was not linked to an increase in deaths from coronary heart disease. In fact heart disease death rates among regular milk drinkers were even found to be lower. Report author Dr Andy Ness, a senior lecturer at Bristol University, said his research could not find any health problems associated with moderate milk consumption. "People have been discouraged from drinking milk, but we cannot find a link between this and heart problems. Moderate consumption "We are not talking about people who are drinking pints and pints of milk, but a moderate consumption of about a third of a pint a day. "Our study does seem to show that a bit of what you like does seem to do you good," he said. But Dr Ness said low fat and skimmed milk is still generally considered better for health than full fat milk. The 25-year study of 5,700 Scottish men found that heart disease death rates among men drinking more than a third of a pint of milk each day were 8% lower than those who drank less. Deaths from cancer and strokes were 10% lower among the regular milk drinkers. The research team said the benefits of milk could be linked to its high calcium levels and that this might counteract the adverse effects of the saturated fat content of milk. Childhood They also found that those who drank milk in childhood tended to be healthier than those who did not. Regular milk drinkers were also found to smoke less than others. But a spokesperson for the British Heart Foundation said they wanted to see more research done on the effects of milk on health. "Recently there have been conflicting research results regarding the effects of milk in our diet. Milk is beneficial. It is not a good idea to cut out dairy products Anita Wells, Dairy Council "Until further randomised controlled trials can be conducted milk should still be included as part of a healthy balanced diet, but reducing saturated fat through drinking skimmed or semi-skimmed milk may help reduce the risks of heart disease." Anita Wells, nutrition manager for the Dairy Council, said the study validated what they had been telling people for years. "Milk is beneficial. It is not a good idea to cut out dairy products. "We are encouraged by these findings which are adding to a body of evidence, which says that you should have three portions of dairy food in your diet each day."
