Does anyone know about the idea of drinking your weight in water?

admin — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 23:05:34 +0000

Over the years, I have put on a lot of weight. So last month, I started walking, and now I have added excersise. I drink water throught the day, and I am beginning to see the results. But one time, I tried this "high energy" diet, and I was told to drink up to 96 ounces of water a day. Now, I drink a lot of water, but it’s probably only about 46 ounces in a day(if I’m lucky). And after drinking that much water, I feel water logged. Is there any truth about drinkng X amount of water to loose X amount of pounds?

What do you think about my poem? truth please :)?

Dieting and working out you think will take away your insecurities
But is your outward apperance is whats really bringing you down?
Or is it that your really just living with immaturities
Striving to look like someone your not will never fix that frown
Because no matter what you do you will always be you
Trying to be as skinny as her is not what your really striving for
Its to make your self believe that your perfect to
Why cant you just tell yourself your beautiful and nothing less or more
Stop putting other peoples words in there mouth
You dont know what they really think about your looks
And telling yourself what they think makes them think thats all your about
Change your thoughts and make yourself feel beautiful in every nook
Stop living by what you think people are saying and take the time to listen
Because they might tell you your beautiful and you just never knew
That they love just for you

I want to her some really criticism because that will only make me better thanks

Olive oil is a poor cooking oil?

admin — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 02:21:55 +0000

I have read all about Mediiterainian diets, which are based largely upon cooking with olive oil. I’ve read that while most oils are mostly unhealthy and have empty fats, that olive oil is packed with nutrients and is very good for you.

My wife, however, says that olive oil smokes up the room when used for cooking and that the heat of cooking destroys all of its famous nutritional value. She says that you should cook with canola oil, and only use olive oil for salads and for drizzling over food.

This seems to be at odds with lots of Italian recipes that I’ve seen in which olive oil is used for sauteing. What is the truth?

Is it true that if you cheat 1 day a week on your diet you will lose more weight?

Is it true that eating crocodile meat all thetime can make males sterile ?

I saw this documentary once about a remote Australian Aboriginal tribe, and it said that because thy constantly ate crocodile in their diet, all the men in the tribe except one young teen youth was sterile.
Is there any truth that eating crocodile meat can make you sterile, ( or is it just a croc ?).

Should men keep from becoming vegetarian?

admin — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 23:19:27 +0000

I’ve read about soy products affecting men’s sperm (thus lowering the chances for them to get women pregnant). I’ve also read about veggie diet affecting (lowering) men’s testosterone levels and thus libido (due to lack of zinc).
If so, should men be more careful and not become veggie?
Is there any truth in those studies I read about? I don’t even know what to believe.

admin — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 20:13:20 +0000

Okay so i am a 13 going to be 14 year old girl.First of all,I AM NOT sexually active.I have a boyfriend,and have for a very long time now,and im not just saying a few months,way longer..but we haven’t ever gone as far as outercourse.In june,me & my friend,bought condoms because we heard when you do diet coke & mentos with a condom,it makes it explode more into the air.We never tried it though,and i forgot about the condoms.Today my mom found them.It was one condom. when my mom came and got me,she was giving me all questions & stuff & i got really nervous..I lied at first,then told her the truth about the mentos & she didnt believe me.She’s acting sullen towards me.She says shes brining me for a test,to see if i had sex,but on the test will fingering show up,because that i did once,and i feel it’s alot safer then sex.I saved the condoms,because i thaught maybe if one day me & my boyfriend decided to have sex,i’d be prepared but honestly the idea really scares me,and im not ready and wasnt planning it.I really don’t know what to do,my own mother thinks im sexually acitive,is bringing me for a test if thats even possible to see if i am,but what im concerned about is the fingering showing up on there..Idk this is horribleeeee
HAPPY?!SHES READY TO RIPPPPPPPP MY HEADDDDDDDD OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Why are there so may misconseptions about weight loss and fitness in 2007?

admin — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 20:15:03 +0000

There is so much good info out there. The truth is so simple. To be fit and close to ideal body weight you must eat healthy reasonable meals and get some sort of exercise a few times a week. Genetics does play are role and determines how close you have to watch you diet and how much exercise you need during the week to stay in shape. There are some medical conditions that will cause a person to be big or small but those are not the normal cause of weight issues in America today. You do not have to be on any special diet, or have some special work out video to loose weight. Diet pills can cause temporary movement in you weight but are not long term fixes and can have very negative effects. Like most things in this world if you have is some motivation, self discipline, and education on the issue then you have everything you need to be a success. You do not need to pay to clean you colon or for a bottle of pills. Why is this so hard to accept for may people.

Alcohol and weight gain- does anyone know the truth?

admin — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 00:37:09 +0000

Don’t just tell me that alcohol has calories- I know! And obviously sugary or creamy drinks are going to have a lot more empty calories than vodka or red wine.

But I’ve done my research and I’ve found studies that support both arguments- that alcohol does cause weight gain and that it doesn’t. This site would obviously be biased toward defending alcohol…

http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/Alcoholcaloriesandweight.html

…but they site as their sources many well-conducted studies in respected medical journals. They insist that alcoholic calories are not efficient at all and that alcohol speeds up metabolism enough to compensate for those few calories.They insist that men who drink in moderation gain no weight and that women who drink in moderation actually lose a little.

But then other well-respected sites (like many universities and medical schools, and several other studies in medical journals) insist that while few alcoholic calories are converted into fat, the acetate that is created from alcohol conflicts with fat-burning mechanisms. Alcohol apparently also makes people crave sugar.

So what is the truth? Does anyone know?

[I know this would fit better in diet and fitness, but I don't think most of the people there will know much about something this specific- medicine is a better bet! Thanks for not lecturing me ]
