Is it okay if I have a day where I eat whatever I want?

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday, August 28, 2013
Hi, I'm 5'3 and 91 pounds. I'm supposed to gain weight up to about 97-100. I don't eat very much but lately I am just craving so many foods; so I'm planning a day where I can have whatever I want. I'm not talking an extra piece of pizza, I mean with all the things I would like to eat it would probably be about 3500 calories (1 pound). I know I will gain a couple pounds, but that's okay since I'm expected to gain it anyway. I know that I can't continue to do this but now since I am underweight would it hurt to have one day like that? what sort of effects would it have?I'd also like to add that I exercise and eat healthy (lots of vegetables and fruits) most of the time and I'm not planning on making this a regular thing, definitely not weekly.

health wiseunless those fats are the healthy type (guessing not, you suggested pizza), you can have severe heart problems, sometimes fatal, if you make this a habitif you want to do this like once a month go for it, but once a week is too much,plus this is a way to build bad habits, and soon that 1 day will become 2, then 3, and so on

Other Answers:

  • It is absolutely fine to have one day where you are able to eat as much as you want. As long as you dont indulge yourself like crazy I dont see any type of bad things that will happen to you. It is actually a little healthy to indulge every now and again so your body can consume anything that you might not be getting.
  • Why put crap into your body? Weight is not the only indicator of health. In fact, it is can be a very bad one, as it is very misleading. Someone can be in the right weight range and be totally unfit. If you eat proper portions sizes, a balance diet, and get plenty of cardio and resistance training, then your body will equilibrate to its natural weight, which will be healthy, regardless if the number on the scale. Stop worrying about your weight and make an effort to be healthy.

  • Slim quick works really good and u c results in a weekk i think. my mom is taking it and its helpin.
  • You should do a cleanse... start with a 3 day cleanse. That isn't too long. Dr. Oz has a 3 day cleanse recipe and shopping list. It's super simple to follow as everything is right there listed for you. Try it... you got nothing to lose but weight :)
  • You should do a cleanse first 5-7 days. Then work on your diet. Try to include a lot of monounsaturated fatty acids. Those help to break down long chains of fatty acids in your body which will then help your body digest them faster and you wont store them. Portion out your food too, increase the amount of fiber you take a day to 30g. Fiber will help you feel full throughout the day as well as help with your digestion. Then the idea is burn more calories than you eat. start with something small like maybe 2000 calories a day and just work out 3-4 times a week for about an hour. Do weight resistant training to help build muscle which will help break down fat. if you want to take pills, you can take 4g-8g of CLA which is a monounsaturated fatty acid, you can also take fat burners like Dextafin from image sports or Oxyelite Pro from USP labs. those are some really good ones. But the diet and exorcise alone should be enough, go for the pills if you need that extra push. Oh and make sure to always take a multivitamin with whatever you're doing
  • If you want to lose weight faster, you'll need to eat less and exercise more. Essentially, you need to eat no more than 1,050 to 1,200 calories per day (for important health reasons calorie intake should not be lower than this) and take one hour of exercise a day.
  • For weight loss, dieting is more effective than exercise.Reducing your intake of junk sugar will help as in items 22 and 106 in http://www.rheumatic.org/sugar.htmThe natural sugars in fruits are OK as they are metabolised to glucose slowly due to their high fiber content. Fruits are low in calories and are not fattening.Most fruits are metabolism boosting foods and most vegetables as well and that helps for weight loss.

How to Lose Baby Weight After Two Years

Recommended Answer:

become fat adapted then cut the dietary fat so your body still expecting a LOAD of fat from your meals every day will target your body fat even more in order to receive those fat calories for energy ...the inches of blubber which you now possess will simply vanish over the next few weeks and you'll become ripped...eat this for 14 straight days then stop and then begin Part 2 of this plan... HIGH fat foods ...healthy fat / oils but you can have basically whatever you like ie eggs and bacon ....etc...now this is crucial...keep your protein moderate ... BUT... cut your carbs down to a bare minimum ...fibrous green veg are excellent as they provide plenty of fiber ..very low in carbs and extremely good for you...so basically your changing from being a carb burner to a fat burner (fat adaption)...while your on this plan keep lifting HARD / HEAVY and performing cardio ...low intensity is ideal...by doing so you will keep your muscle while shedding the fat...its simple...remember. AFTER the first 14 days have gone .. the protein intake is HIGH ...carbs low...and of course dietary fat low ..

  • You're 285 pounds, you're not gonna become model size fast hahaha
  • good diet and good workout routine and that muscle will show up
  • Amputation
  • Run a lot to burn fat then use weights to grow muscle
  • If u watch tv try working out during the previews it will burn a lot more calories than rather sitting down and whatching through the previews. and at night do 50 crunches, the plank hold for 1 min 15 lemon squizers, and do lunges

Scared of going under for surgery, any tips on how to stay relaxed?

Posted by Unknown
I'm 18 and graduated about a month ago. My weight is 150 kg ( 330 lbs ), before I start college I want to lose weight. I have tried multiple diets over the years and nothing seems to work! My dad had a restriction operation ( weight loss surgery ) a little over a year ago and he went from 170 kg ( 380lbs ) to 90 kg ( 190 lbs ) in that time period. So I convinced my parents that I needed to do this and they were on board from the get go! I went to meet the doctor a while back and I went for a blood check up and everything, I was very excited. Today we get a call from a receptionist telling us that the operation is on Wednesday ( 2 days from now ) and that I have to be in my hospital room the night before. At that very moment it was the most amazing news ever! Now, I'm very worried about the surgery and going under. In my country hundreds of people had this surgery because we have a lot of obese people, this comforts me. We rarely hear a story of someone passing away from this surgery. Also the same doctor who did the procedure on my father is doing it on me. I am also afraid of not waking up which sounds ridiculous I know but I'm just scared. However, I'm not scared enough to not want this but I just worried I guess. Ever since I was a kid I was bullied because of my weight, heck even my grandmother made fun of me. I don't have a lot of friends because I hate myself for being fat and so I don't appeal to other people. I was always quiet because being fat made me feel less of a person than anyone else due to the snarky comments and bullying. I hate being known as ______ the fat guy. I even turned down summer jobs I dreamed of as a kid because I'm afraid of being made fun as. I feel like I wasted a lot of my years because I was too ashamed of myself, and I want that to stop. So do you have any great tips to calm down? It will also help if you share a story about you or something you've heard related to this subject.

How to Lose Weight Taking Apple Cider Vinegar Pills

Recommended Answer:

I have had operations and yes, everyone is nervous. You will be given a sleeping pill the night before so you will have a good sleep before the operation. Before you are wheeled into the operating room you will be given something to relax you. By the time you get in there you are going to feel very sleepy. Then you will be given something else and away you go into dreamland and you will not wake up until much later. And it is over! You will be very sleepy and dopey the first day. You will be kept comfortable with medication so you do not have much in the way of pain. You will recover very quickly. They get people up and moving the next day if they can. It is better for the patient if she starts getting mobile as soon as they think she can. You will be having good chats with the nurses and other patients and enjoying it even though you have just had an operation. Believe me. Some of the patients you might want to keep in contact with after you get home. I have made friends the same way. Some of the doctors can be very funny people, too. Best wishes with your new start on life. I'll be thinking of you on Wednesday.

  • uhh, exercising and not eating junk food but instead healthy food might help
  • GM DIET! 10 LBS IN A WEEK AND YOU EAT NON STOP. GOOGLE IT. Fasting is good if not done longer than a week.
  • It actually helps to lose weight if you do eat. But eat right. Lots of water, about 8 glasses a day. Eat about 6 meals a day, but little things, not like big dinners. Have a healthy breakfast, and maybe a morning or evening jog.
  • If your friend is anorexic, she may already be at an unhealthy low weight. If that's the case, she doesn't need any healthier ways to lose weight- she needs to deal with her eating disorder and start getting serious about being healthy.If she's not truly anorexic, but is showing an unhealthy body image and eating disordered behavior, she still needs to deal wit her eating disorder and start getting serious about being healthy.The most important thing is to be healthy and sane. Being thin should not be a priority. Model healthy body image and behavior by never making "I'm fat" comments about yourself or in relation to anyone else. Be active- walk, run, go swimming and play sports. Enjoy healthy delicious meals but don't focus on them excessively. Hopefully your good influence will rub off on your friend- or at least you can help to avoid triggering her, and you can make sure that she doesn't make you uncomfortable about your own body. http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/developing-and-maintaining-positive-body-image

How to gain weight (I'm a girl)?

Posted by Unknown
I'm a 14 year old girl, 5'5", and everyone tells me I'm too skinny. I guess I am skinny, cause I only weigh around 90 pounds on a good day. Sometimes even 87. I really want to gain weight so that I can fit into more clothes and feel better about myself. I tried eating a whole lot, but I only gained like 2 pounds because I have a fast metabolism. I am also a healthy ovo-vegetarian, which means I don't eat meat, cheese, milk, high fructose corn syrup, any GMO's (genetically modified organisms), aspartame, even enriched flour. So it's hard for me to gain weight by just eating bread, fruit, veggies, granola, and eggs. Any tips on how to gain weight? My goal is 100 pounds by the end of the year. Thanks <3

How to Lose Weight Without Eating Healthy

Recommended Answer:

I had the same problem. I couldn't gain weight at all. I just started eating like a pig and lifting weights. It helped me move up from 112 to 130. Having a fast metabolism is very annoying when you're trying to gain weight. You may talk to a doctor, if your metabolism is too fast, then it's life.threatening. it's called an overactive metabolism if I remember right. You can't gain weight quickly by not eating meat and dairy products. They help you gain the most weight. I'd say that your diet is the biggest problem with your low weight. Anyways, if you eat a lot right before you sleep, it helps you gain weight. Some people say to eat junk food, that's not a great thing to do. There is good weight, and bad weight. One if from healthy food such as meats, breads, dairy, ans vegetables, and the other is from soda and junk food.

  • Maybe go to your GP or a dietician and they can't tell you how much you have to eat to gain weight. You're beautiful Hun, and I'm glad that you're trying to gain, it's refreshing to hear. Good luck with it! :)
  • Im 16 5'5 and weigh about 102 but when I was your age I weighed about the same as you. My advice to you is love yourself as you are. Do you know how many women/girls wish they could be skinny? Tons! So love it. People that tell you that you're too skinny can kiss off. They're probably mad cause they aren't your size. I can fit all my clothes, thank God. But just be happy with who you are
  • eat tablets for gaining weight. eat a cheeseburgers ? and eat snacks between your meal. and eat late night snack. HEAVY late night snack. i guess that works. You really are lucky. to have a strong metabolisms. i used to starve myself. well, not literally but you know, i eat peanuts instead of heavy meals to lose weight.
  • To gain weight you need to combine protein foods with starchy carbohydrates as indicated below. Good weight gaining combinations are bread, cereals, pasta, rice, potatoes or sweet potatoes combined with meat, poultry, eggs, cheese, nuts or sea food. Peanut butter sandwiches and cheese sandwiches are good weight gaining combinations. The protein in the above combinations will help to gain extra muscles.

I am so skinny and I really want to gain weight. People always think bigger people are the only ones struggling bit skinny people are too. I hate when people be like you need to eat.

Please dont say love your weight just give me some tipsI also cheer so its keeping me the same weight from exercisingHeight: 5"6'Weight:116Hips:36 1/2Waist:24 1/2Thighs: 21

  • Well since you cheer anyway, a good way to go would be to gain muscle by weight training. Muscle weighs more than fat and is a much healthier way to gain weight.
  • My family and friends always call me skinny too at first it annoyed me and made me feel bad about myself but at the end of the day I just ignore them because I love myself. Girl I'm sure your beautiful don't change yourself because other people don't like the way you are. If you love the way you are then stay the way you are. Be you you don't need to change. :)
  • just eat tons of protein and keep doing cheer. you will gain muscle which weighs more than fat does :) good luck!
