I already exercise, but I really want to lose like, 10 pounds in two weeks. So if you have any easy diets that are good tell me. And like, are there any good weight loss drinks, or power bars or something? Thanks:)
Hey buddy
if you wanna lose weight
short term = drop carbs (bread, rice,sweets,pasta)
long term = increase your metabolism… how?
by building more muscle… the more muscle the more calories
your body has to burn to just maintain the muscles…
Goodluck

My friends son must avoid gluten in his diet. I wanted to inquire about this, but I felt it would be impolite of me to ask. So, why must some people completely avoid gluten in their diets?
Gluten sensitivity, intolerance or allergy.
An allergy is a histamine reaction (like the reaction to peanuts or bee stings that people need an epi- pen for) they can be a lesser reaction with vomiting, hives, etc. or it can be severe and life threatening.

If the child is sensitive, it means that they have a reaction to gluten, but not a histamine and not an auto-immune reaction (where I am heading next).
Go here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten_sensitivity
Then there is the autoimmune reaction which is called Celiac or Coeliac disease. This is a genetic, autoimmune disease. There is an antigen reaction by the body when exposed to gluten (the sticky protein in wheat,barley,rye, spelt, triticale, durhum and other related grains in the Triticeae). The resuts and symptoms of the reaction vary from person to person, but usually the reaction destroys the villi in the small intestine resulting in malabsorption and all the issues that go with that. It is quite serious and very common, affecting 1 out of every 300 people (or more) and one of the most under diagnosed diseases in the US. Please go to the following links for more information:

To Skorpian: PLEASE!! Stop eating gluten, you do not seem to understand your disease. Panadol only relieves your pain and does nothing to stop the destruction of your bowels and body. This is a very serious disease. Please take time to read the links that I have on here and go to celiac.com to learn more about the destruction you are doing to your body!! You can and will destroy your brain and body if you keep doing what you are doing! There is help and support out there to get you on the right track. My heart is breaking for you that you are destroying yourself like this! Please get help, educate yourself on your condition, get dietary and emotional support and get healthy! Blessings!
Is it unhealthy for growing teens to go on calorie-restricting diets and cut out certain foods from the diet? What are some possible consequences if a teen was to do this?
Yes, limiting calories is about the worse thing you can do as a teen. Not only do you need the calories for your growth and nourishment, but cutting calories can also mean cutting out vitamins and minerals that you would have otherwise eaten had you not went on the calorie-restrictive diet.
Consequences would most commonly be stress, anxiety, tiredness, and irritability from lack of food, and they may even develop some vitamin or mineral deficiencies over the long run.
I need to lose some weight with out going on crazy stupid diets that don’t work. I am young, 14 to be exact, and I need to lose weight!
go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food after 7 p.m.
I know a woman who lost 60 pounds a month on it. She did nothing else!
I’m just curious as to why most of the diets that I have been on in my life have wanted me to avoid caffeine. When I was on the Atkin’s diet some years back it advocated avoiding caffeine. Now that I am trying out the "raw foods" diet, the guidlines to it advocate avoiding caffeine as well. Why is this? Is caffeine fattening? I can find no information to tell me that it is for a fact fattening available online, so I’m turning to you people for an answer. Thanks for the info!
It can make you jittery, increase your heart rate, cause you to have difficulty sleeping, etc., and is often used in diet pills due to it’s appetite suppressant effect. It also has diuretic properties, which will cause you to urinate more frequently and could potentially lead to dehydration if you consumed enough and then went on to work out.
It is a natural product, but if you want to feel full then consuming more fiber at each meal is a good way to do it – and you can do this with the raw diet. Good luck to you.
What are some good diets and exercises that will make my stomach flat and possibly give me a 4-pack?
Walk, go up and down of stairs. Plus buy you an exercise ball but make sure buy the correct one for your height. On the diet
side start with small portion on any given meal and avoid fatty
foods,sugary treats. You got to walk every other day and on the alternate day use the exercise ball but follow the instruction. you got to work for long term results. Once you lose your belly fat, the four pack or or six pack will appear. Just don’t over do it and take your social life. You got to walk at least 30 -45 minutes every other days and do the same for exercise ball. If you do more than an hour of exercise a day before you know it you will give up. Just spread the exercise time to get the the effect to last longer . You got to get your metabolism up to burn the excess fat. You should lose one 1lbs per week that way you will be committed. See a dietitian and your DR. First

Contrast the diets of the peasants and nobles in terms of our modern ideas about healthy eating.
The basic diet of the peasants consisteds of carbohydrates in the form of grain, mostly barley and oats, which were baked or brewed into bread and ale. Protein, in the form of meat and eggs, was in short supply. Some fruit and vegetables (ssuch as beans and onions), would have been included in the diet. Not all the food of the peasants was grown: some was bought, in most cases in the fairs and markets which were frequently held in towns.
In the thriteenth and fourteenth centuries most peasants were subsistence farmers, growing crops such as grain, peas and beans to feed themselves and their stock. Later, many of them were waged workers on a large farm owned by someone else. How far the majority were above mere subsistence level is unknown, but a holding of 20 acres (which many had), is generally accepted as being enough to raise the holder above that level.
There are several descriptions in contemporary poems of food eaten by peasants. There is a list of the food eaten by the shepherds in the Chester Mystery Cycle. This conssissted of bread, bacon, onions, garlic, leeks, butter and green (fresh) cheese. To this was added ale, hot meat (apparently supplied as part of their wages) a pudding (type unspeciifed) a ‘jannock’ (an oat cake), a sheep’s head soused in ale and sour milk (that is curds). another of the shepherds added to this fairly large amount of food a pig’s foot, and a third added smoked ham, other meat and another pudding.
Another list occurs in Piers Plowman as a description fo food given to the character ‘Hunger’ by the poor Piers and his neighbours. Piers first of all described the food he had in his cottage: two green cheeses, some curds and cream, an oat cake, and two loaves of bran and beans. He also has parssley, leeks and much cabbage, but no money with which to bu pullets, no eggs and no salt meat. His neighbours, however, managed to supply much more:
‘All the poor people then peascoddes brought,
Beans and baked apples
Onions and pot herbs and ripe cherries many.’
The large quantities of bacon eaten would have come from the pig that most country people (and many town people) would have kept. Apparently even the very poor ate bacon, at least occasionally, as described in Chaucer’s Nun’s Priest’s tale. Here the diet of the poor widow and her two daughters was said to include milk, brown bread, bacon and an occasional egg.
The nobility and gentry would also eat much bread, but it was likely to be made of finer white flour than the coarser brown types eaten by the poor. They ate a quantity of meat of many kinds: beef, mutton, pork, veal, lamb, and game like deer, rabbits, hare, etc. Hunting was a popular activity in medieval times not just for sport but to provide food for the table as well. Fish was eaten on fast days, which included Wednesday,s Fridays and Saturdays. Fish replaced meat completely during Lent. The variety of fish eaten was very wide indeed. Mackerel, hake, haddock, cod, whiting, ling, salmon, flounder, plaice, ray and conger eel were all eaten. Some fish and meat might be salted, some manors kept huge stocks of salt. Much shellfish was eaten, among which were mussels, whelks, cockles, crab and oysters. Meat and fish might be eaten boiled or roasted, with a variety of rich and spicy sauces, and might also be made into stews, pies, pasties and fritters.
In addition to roasting and stewing, meat might be pounded up to paste, mixed with other ingredients, and served as akind of custard. A dish of this kind was blankmanger, consisting of a paste of chicken blended with rice boiled in almond milk, seasoned with sugar, cooked until very thick, and garnished with fried almonds and anise. Another was a mortrews, of fish or meat that was pounded, mixed with breadcrumbs, stock, and eggs, and poached, porducing a kind of quenelle, or dumpling.
The most common vegetables, besides onions and garlic, were peas and beans. Staple of the diet of the poor, for the rich they might be served with onions and saffron. Honey, commonly used for sweetening, came from the castle or manor bees; fruit from the orchard – apples, pears, plums, and peaches – was supplemented by wild fruit and nuts from the lord’s woods. In addition to thsse local products, there was imported luxuries such as sugar, rice, almonds, figs, dates, raising, oranges, and pomegranates, purchased in town or at the fairs. Ordinary sugar was bought by the loaf and had to be pounded, powdered white sugar was more expensive.
I just started College a month ago and also started the birth control pill about that time and have put on a couple of pounds. Nothing to worry about but I don’t want those 2 pounds to turn into 20. I’ve heard negative and positive things about detox diets. I’m just curious what your opinion is on it.
Detox diets are quackery, plain and simple. Not only is there no scientific evidence that detox diets work, there’s no scientific evidence that the problem they’re supposed to solve is real.
I really need to, but I want like easy-type of diets. Not those hard-core ones with rules and stuff.
And without exercising please.
Thanks…
