what would you say is a normal clothing size for a teenage girl? like 2, 4, 6, 8...
also, for junior sizes, is a 1 equal to a 0 or 2? (link)
|
There is no "normal" size for a teenage girl.
There is a great variation of clothing size in healthy teenagers.
As long as you are at a healthy weight for your height you have nothing to worry about

What foods have lots of protein in it? (link)

Meat or soy.

i am balimic and i want to know how long will it take to loose at least 15 poundz plez tell me (link)
|
I know I probably won't get to you by only saying that being bulimic isn't healthy.
But I'll tell you exactly why it isn't healthy.
The health affects of bulimia include:
-Erosion of tooth enamel, cavities, and tooth sensitivity to hot and cold
-Swelling and soreness of salivary glands
-Stomach ulcers
-Ruptures of stomach and esophagus
-Irregular heartbeat and sometimes HEART ATTACK
And I once read about a girl who had bulimia and she couldn't stop because as soon as she swallowed food her body thought that it was a normal response to vomit.
Being bulimic can majorly mess up your metabolism. It can even make you GAIN WEIGHT.
If nothing else in this message gets through to you, hopefully that last thought will.

right, i know people wont like this question as 100's of other people ask the same thing. but i actually do need to lose weight, i need to loose 36 pounds to be my right weight for my height.
my career actually depends on this, i want to join the army or royal marines (i live in the UK) so yeah this needs to happen by about this time next year.
i am so desperate to do this healthily and slowly so i won't put all the weight back on.
i just have NO willpower at all, i say i wont eat chips/chocolate/fizzy drinks.. and i do i just can't help it.. i think im also addicted to carbs i can't stop eating potato based foods.. chips/fries/chocolate that kind of stuff.
so if any one has any tips on how to stick to this, i know what i have to eat/excersise etc but how can i stick to this and not give into carbs??
thanks soooooo much x x (link)

If you have a problem not being able to resist foods like that, just don't buy them.
If you live with your family or a roommate, and they aren't willing to keep junk food out of the house, make them hide it from you so you can't have any.
Another thing you could do is go on one of those diets where you buy the food from them and you eat only that for a month or whatever(i.e. Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig...I don't know what you have in the UK). That way you could keep only that food in the house and you won't be tempted to eat anything else.
Also, get your friends to be supportive about this. When you go out, have them remind you to order a salad or something healthy, and no matter how much you beg, they can't give you junk food or share theirs with you.
You need to keep reminding yourself that your job depends on this. It's not just you wanting to look better. If you don't do this, you can't join the army. Keep that in mind. You can't follow your dream if you don't stick to this.

I would like to gain at least 20-30 pounds before April 11th, 2006 (my b-day) I am at least 120 pounds. All of my life, I have been skinny. I'm now 14 years old and in high school. Most of the girls are thick with boobs and butt. I got butt but nothing more. I'm a black girl and I'm not thick but long and skinny. If I were to gain at least 30 pounds (of thickness!) I would fill out my clothes better and feel good about myself.
1.) Can someone give me websites on how to gain pounds faster?
2.) Can someone tell me how they gained weight? (if you tried to gain weight and succeeded)
3.) You can also give food ideas!!!!!!
*~* please don't tell me how stupid this is because that won't change the way I feel about this. Please don't give me websites about how to gain muscles because I am already exercising. *~*
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH IN ADVANCE :-* Lol : ) (link)

If you want to gain weight, there is one thing you definately should not do: DON'T DON'T DON'T eat a lot of crappy food. That will not only make you gain weight but it could mess with your heart.
Eat high-protein foods. Fat is okay, but better if it comes from nuts or certain types of fruits and veggies than from red meat.
Don't do aerobic exercise, because that will burn fat. Muscle-building exercises should be okay, though.

I'm 5'7, 170ish pounds, and very inactive. I go to school, and then sit at the computer all day.
A few days ago I decided to start a diet, but I don't think I'm doing it right. I calculated that I need about 2300 calories a day, is that right? Or is that how much I consume? How much do I actually need a day?
Today, I consumed a total of 1163 calories. A pound is 3,500 calories. Does this mean that I'm -1137 calories today, meaning I lost half a pound? I'm very confused with everything, but I want to lose weight, and I need to know if I've planned it correctly. I just need to know if I've got it all wrong, and if I do, what can I change? (link)

You should worry less about calories, it can drive people crazy.
If you burn more calories than you eat, that is losing calories.
A good amount of daily calories if you are on a diet is 1500. The average person has 2000 a day.

I've been losing alot of hair lately, mainly when I take a shower/bath there is a large amount of hair on top of the drain and when ever I run my hand though my hair there is always a few strands.
so I was wondering if its because of bad nutrition, dying my hair, or from straighting it.
I've died my hair many times before just this time its black. So maybe I'm just seeing all the hair now because its black and not the light brown it was before.
I'm vegan so I know I don't get enough calcium or protein ( I take a multivitamin for everything else ).
So could my hair loss be because of either those three things or some other reason? (link)
|
Dying and straightening your hair is probably not the problem. The only thing that could make your hair fall out would probably be over-bleaching your hair or dying it too many times in a short period of time.
You should get more vitamins in your diet. I know that some people's bodies can only use vitamins if they come from food, not from pills.
You should talk to a doctor because this could be a sign of a serious problem.

I'm 5'8, 158 pounds, 15 years old, not active at all.
On this coming monday, im starting a diet which will hopefully help me lose 1 or 2 pounds a week, but I need to know if it will work. Here is my daily plan:
Breakfast: Honey bunches of oats cereal, 1% Milk
Lunch: Fruit salad, water
Supper: Anything my mom makes (healthy)
I will also be running on the treadmill for about 20 minutes at 4m/h. I've sort of been using the calorie-counting method.
Anyways, will I lose weight with this, or is it a waste of time? What can I change?

You should have some lean protein for lunch so you're not tempted to snack later. Poultry or some sort of soy product would probably be a good choice.
But other than that it looks pretty good.
Drink a lot of water and don't worry so much about calories as fat. Stay away from saturated fats and high-cholesterol foods.

Hey. I've been a veggietarian for nine months now, and I've changed so much. I am so malnurished and I'm having like a million mental break downs. I've become really sad and angry. I wanted to stop being a veggie but its so hard! I wont eat meat or i'll start like crying...well not really but ill feel really sad and become moody. im also really malnaurished cause im allergic to a lot and cause im kosher. i need advise from a veggie or someone who once was one. thanx to anyone who can help! by the way...incase you wanna like address me in ur note back my names joey f/! thanx!!

If you are malnourished, you are obviously not eating well enough.
Being a vegetarian does not mean you eat only vegetables. :-P You need protein, and if you can't bring yourself to get that from meat, you can get it from nuts and legumes, and there are many soy products out there.
You should probably talk to a doctor, though, because being a vegetarian might be a bad idea when you have allergies.
And keeping kosher shouldn't be a problem if you aren't eating any meat. Most laws referring to kosher food has to do with meat(i.e. not mixing meat with dairy, only eating fish that have scales, etc.).
Talk to a doctor about your malnutrition and in the meantime start getting more protein in your diet.

does peanut butter help you lose weight? or is it at least good when your on a diet?
cause it is peanuts and peanuts are nuts. so shouldn't it be good for dieting? (link)
| |
It's pretty good for you, but also has a lot of fat, so I wouldn't classify it as something good for eating while you are on a diet.

Hey all, I'm working as a waitress and often times I get soooo tired because I normally dont get off work untill about one in the morning. Anyways, I was wondering if there were any types of things I can take or do to boost my energy?? I havnt drinkin' any carbonated beverages for over 2 years, so those drinks are out, and when I take caffine pills, or energy pills, they make me sick. Its so anoying!!! Anyways, this is an easy five question and any help would be great!! Thanks
(link)

You could drink energy drinks(like red bull, etc), coffee, or anything caffienated.
There are also caffienated mints that you could find.
If you want lasting enerfy, eat a lot of protein. For quick energy you want carbs or sugar.

Dear Advicer,
My question to ask is about Health & Fitness.I've always been going on diets but they never seem to work for me.I mean I want to have the perfect body and be perfectly fit.I weigh about 140 I'm like medium not fat or anything just a little.I would like to weigh at least 110.Do you have any Advice for me? I always been eatting the wrong kinds of food because its soo hard because my mom makes brownies and cookies stuff like that sometimes.I try going on diets but I always seem to eat alot.I did try to starve myself the one time but I told myself thats not the bright Idea.I need too be skinny I want to be skinny and phsyically fit.Please help me
(link)

Hold up. No one NEEDS to be skinny. As long as you are healthy, that's what matters. I don't think it would be healthy for you to lost thirty pounds, but if you want to lost weight, try eating healthy food in small portions, but don't cut out things that you like, that will only make you eat more, eat them in moderation.
|
i want to go on a diet but i dont no how to go about it. please could some one help me
thanx for ya help (link)
| |
The best way to diet is to eat healthier food and smaller portions. Don't deprive yourself from food you like, though, eat it in moderation. Don't go low-carb or slimfast or anything like that, because it will help you lose weight, but you wont be able to keep it off once you go back to the regular food you eat.

okay first of all i dont think im fat at all and i like the way my body looks. however im very health conscious and eat healthy food most of the time. i count calories too. if i didnt eat the daily number calories i think is efficient ill go eat until its exactly the number i want it to be, because i don't want to become too thin. i think about food a lot. i never thought i was fat and i know im not and i love my body. im a cheerleader (a flyer) so i try to remain small. oh yeah and i love cooking and food overall, mostly healthy food. i mean ill choose a grilled chicken sandwich over a big mac you know? could this possibly be anorexia? (link)
|
This is nowhere near anorexia. As long as you don't purposely starve yourself, you're not anorexic. And because you prefer healthy food, that doesn't mean you have an eating disorder!
|
|
okay here's the situation. my parents are going through a divorce. my dad has a good job, but my mom is only part time. to spite everyone, my dad refuses to buy groceries for the house and my mom cant really afford to either. so i have just been accustomed to rarely eating ( i usually only eat at work). now whenever i get hungry, i eat only a little of something and i feel really full.. like sick full. whats wrong with me? am i anorexic? im not skin and bones or anything, but i think im underweight ( im 5'2'' and 110 lbs.) ugh i think im broken :( help fix little old me (link)
| |
You're not anorexic. Anorexic people purposely starve themselves because they think they need to be thinner. It's healthy to eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full. If you're really worried, go to a doctor, but I don't think there's anything wrong.
