the best one i can recommend is not actually a diet as you dont restricts your self from foods

just dont eat as much carbs drink lots and lots of water eat five small healthy meals a day eat plenty of fruit and veg and try not to snack on crisps and ice cream

do a 1 hr jog a day if you can and also try to fit in some muscle building exercise

and try to get the whole family to do it so your not alone

good luck x

also for dinner always have something steamed cooked

I did this recently and had good results. The Special K Protein Plus cereal. The nutrition of this is incredible. You can google it. But I would have a serving (using a cup instead of a bowl) for breakfast and lunch. And for dinner i’d have whatever I wanted while keeping it fairly healthy. Fish and vegetables would be ideal. And that was it along with less than an hour of exercise a day.

Went from 174lbs to 172 1st day after. After a week, I was at 162. I got off the diet and stopped exercising for a few days so now I’m stable at around 164 but I’ll probably get back on the diet to lower my body fat percentage a bit more.

The cereal really doesn’t taste that good but on the bright side it does fill you up. Perhaps it’s the dietary fiber.

Good luck.

Ok something to try. Use a plate for a toddler to eat off of. Seriously. It may sound crazy but this actually limits your portion sizes and losing weight is all about portions and choices. Period. Yes excersise is great…walking, swimming, etc. However you’ve heard this before: more fruits and veggies. Smaller plate ‘really’ helps.

most insurance will cover the costs you mention if the doctor thinks it is medically necessary.

I tried the slim fast diet, I had a shake for breakfast and one for lunch with something like campbells soup or roastbeef in pita bread and for dinner I just cut back my portions. I also ate things like fruit, pretzels with hummus dip, lowfat baked tortilla chips with salsa, ect. I managed to loose 30 pounds in three months! It takes disipline and you really need to commit but you can do it!

Since this is a pre-existing condition there is a good chance that none of them will be willing to cover it.

Every thing i’ve done has made me crazy.

I reccomend doing weight watchers if you can. You’ll learn the proper way to eat and hopefully those habits will stay with you for the rest of your life.

Good luck

Comment on What type of medical career am I looking for? by student p

i would suggest do a fellowship and get board certified in infectious diseases after med school, get an MPH and PhD, run clinical trials, and be in the board of an NGO. Infectious disease subspecialty because it’ll be very useful in the tropics, MPH because you need management skills to run your clinic, PhD because you get government grants that way and you will get grants if you publish and you publish more if you have credibility, Run clinical trials because pharm ppl will sponsor you and get access to drugs plus clinical trials pay a lot, and NGO board member because they’ll provide you with a network of staff to wherever you want to set up shop.

question is, are you capable? anesthesiologists dont go to the bushes sweety and be realistic

MD, MPH, and PhD with ongoing clinical trials and grants could fetch you $500,000 plus company shares which fluctuate in value. It could be more if you werent running around the bushes, but you give some up.

Comment on How do I plan a cancer walk for my school? by Diane T

Call the Susan G. Koman foundation, they do a breast cancer walk all over the country every year. They should be able to direct you in what you will need to do to start a cancer walk. They have individuals walk, team, and companies. I have been walking with them for 13 years now and I love it. A cause well worth it. As a cancer survivor I just want to say thank you for wanting to do this–God Bless You

dink2529 what kind of person are you???? Sounds like you need to come out and see what goes on at one of the cancer walks. It’s people like you that make me sick, I really hope you never have to know what it’s like to have cancer. Your type are the ones that talk bad about God and those that want to do good but then when it happens to you-your the first one to run to God and ask for healing. Or you would be the first one to yell loud and long that we need awareness. You better pray you never get cancer.
