Diet Fitness Questions and Answers

How many grams of protein should an average person eat per day?

Answers: there isnt really an average person amount, it varies from person and also what you are trying to do. if you want me to give a number...say 50grams a day, up to 100g if you are seriously working out and want to get in shape.

Avergae is 0.5g per pound you weigh but if your exercise regulary, everyday for atleast 45 min..you should eat 1.0 gram per pund you weigh..bodybuildinyou should eat 1.5-2.0g per pound

Why can't i loose the wight?

I'm 17 ( female) and i want to weight 135-145lbs! buti weigh 180! i'm 5'7 ( average height) but i've tried lost of things includin fruits vegtables and excercise and diets never seem to work ! i either crack or they just fail! i want to do this naturally (no pill or surgery) but this really hard for me! can you help me out? please no smart

Answers: Well, one thing to do is to cut out all soda, mochas, fast food, and anything with heavy sodium, then drink water. Natural juices like freshly made is good. Walk or jog for at least 5 miles a day.

Or, what I do instead is play DDR. That is a cardiovascular workout thats also entertaining. Plus in the winter you don't get cold. Its a great alternative to running.

Another thing is to eat small portions. Get a whole plate of stuff and only eat half of it. As you eat less, your stomach will gradually shrink to the point where eating a lot is hard cause you get full quicker.

One thing that I started, and changed a few times now, but its working is, I eat a single Blue Berry Bagel in the morning, plain, nothing on it. Then lunch consists of something like an icecream bar, small bag of chips, something like a snack food in small porportions. Or, I just drink water and forgo the food. Then dinner consists of a cup or two of rice and a small scoop of butter, and water.

It sounds plain, but its not so bad. Eating something like an icecream bar helps cut cravings and helps me from falling off the diet completely.

Make sure you are balancing out your diet.. Don't overeat or anything like that. You don't weigh enough to qualify for any type of surgery either.
You may have a thyroid problem. That's the first thing that comes to my mind. Talk to your doctor and work out a plan and see if that works. Make sure you stick with it. If not, you may just have an internal health problem
Good luck hun!

I know what it feels like to try almost everything and never have any success. But losing weight all comes down to this...you have to burn more calories than you eat. It seems almost impossible right? Well no! Eat about four 300 calories meals every 3 hours, and try to burn about 300-500 calories a day (go to www.nutristrategy.com to find out how many calories you burn a day). Within a week, you should see atleast a 2-3 pound weight loss.
Best of luck!

Stop eating fast food, cold cuts, junk food and stop drinking soda. Drink skim milk instead of homogenized milk.
Drink grapefruit juice not from concentrate.
Drink lots of water, eat whole wheat grains such as whole wheat toast, whole wheat pasta, whole wheat bagels, and brown rice instead of white grains such as white bread, white pasta, and white rice.
Eat low fat yogurt, not the Balkan kind.
Eat extra old cheddar cheese, and Swiss cheese.
Eat meat without the skin. Eat egg whites, no egg yolks.
You're doing the right thing eating fruits and vegetables however when eating potatoes be sure to eat the skin.
Before you bake the potatoes wash the skin well because you will be eating it. Don't drink coffee.
Exercise 50 minutes 5 times a week through muscle training.
Muscle weighs more than fat, and it's also smaller than fat.
So when you get down to 145Ibs in muscle you'll look like 130Ibs. If you get to 145Ibs in fat you'll look like 155Ibs.
Don't get upset over _itchy skinny womens nasty discouraging comments of how you'll never be thin because they just want you to be fat so that you never get an opportunity to be more attractive than them.

DON'T TAKE ANY FREE TRIAL DIET PILLS.
DON'T TAKE ANY DIET PILLS!

You may call your doctor.There is possible to be a medical problem. If is not you may try a very special diet which helped me several years ago-without any food after 6 p. m. and swim in the pool two or three times a week.

How can i get smaller/bonier hands?

I'm tall and skinny and i like my body and everything except for my hands they are fat.
Not like I have man hands but they're fat like chubby. How can I make them boney?

Answers: You probably can't. Most of your hand/fingers are bones.... and some people are born with bigger hands/fingers. Look at your parents and/or grandparents and you should see some similarity.

How many calories do you have to eat before you gain a pound?

Answers: One pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories

One thing that will help you lose weight: diet pills. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few. The best product I found on the market is made with pure hoodia and it works great! You can go to

Why are we not losing weight?

Sorry if this is a common question but my friend and I need help. We started working out in the beginning of September. We reduced our calorie intake and started working out at the fitness center for a half an hour each day. We were still gaining so we decided to reduce our calories again and increase the excersize. We now excersize twice a day, 5 times a week. She runs on the treadmill and burns 600-700 calories a day and I do a calorie program on the eliptical which burns 1400 calories a day. Then we lift weights for a half an hour. Even with all of this, she is gaining, and I am staying the exact same on the scale. I can feel the workout in my abs but I don't know why we aren't losng the weight. She is about ready to just give up on excersizing because she is gaining.

Answers: You should be losing inches. You are probably not gaining because you are losing fat and replacing it with muscle, which weighs more.

I can tell you that Isagenix worked for me (and many others). I have lost 40 pounds and shrunk from a size 14 to an 8! I am 55 years old and not an exercise person. But now I have energy, am sleeping better, thinking clearer, my skin radiates health, and I feel like I am 40 again. I have stamina and can play with my grand kids and do so many things I never desired to do. By using these products as a nutritional food supplement and cleansing my body of all the garbage and replacing with vital minerals and nutrients...I have gone from feeling like a "slug" to an alive, vibrant, healthy exciting woman. The changes in my husband are amazing too! Yes, it is an MLM, and I am building a successful team of other healthy people who are changing lives "one person at a time". These are amazing products. For you both, looking at calories and gaining muscles mass doesn't adress so many of the issues that people still have going on inside their bodies. I just wanted to share what has worked for me. Good luck in your program and God bless you<><

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!?

ok so my 12 yr old daughter wants to play volleyball so shes goin to try out shes 5'2 and wieghs 145 will this help her lose wieght...........................oh and how much does she need to practice to be ready 4 tryouts on november 6 and i dont want her to diet just to exercise so what does she need 2 do

Answers: I don't understand, did you mean you don't want her to just diet/exercise? If so, she is just 12 all she CAN do is diet and exercise. She will get in much better shape and boost her confidence with a sport, all she needs to do to prepare is move around. Go fast walking/light jogging with her, buy a volleyball and practice back and forth with her, or have her do that with friends. At 12 she didn't get to 145 alone, nor does she need a weight complex for life. Be supportive

Answers: I'm sorry, but nothing works that fast. You'll just have to tell them the truth. It'll be ok. If it's your boyfriend and your best friend, then they should accept u as u are.

Hey, does anyone know if Pro-Active really works?

I mean, ive seen the commercials but, not sure if i can beleive..them...Anyone know? Thanks for reading.

Answers: I was really skeptical of Proactiv before I bought it. When I factored in how much I was spending on regular skin care crap from the drug store, I decided to go ahead and try it, and I'm really glad I did. For the first week after I started, my skin got really bad, but for the last 6 months, my skin is better than it ever has been.

I really liked it when I bought it in the US but I can't afford it here in the UK but I think once I get a job I'm gonna order it in the US ship it to my moms and have her mail it to me .. Much cheaper than paying what they want for it here....

But yes I loved it and it worked great .. I really loved the clay mask

It does really work. It's worth a try. You could ask if they have a money back guarantee. A lot of those things on TV do have a money back guarantee. Call the number on the screen and just ask them any questions that you have. If you get it; follow the directions every day and you will get results.
Good luck.

Ugh i just binged?

i've been trying my hardest to eat healthy & lose weight. And I just binged horribly. I feel discusting.

It's only 12:21 and so far today i've eaten 12 peanut butter sandwich cookies, 2 bowls of ziti which had meat balls & pepperoni in it, a non fat yogurt, & an apple.

Am I going to gain major weight? :( What if I just start eating normal again tommorow?

Answers: One day will not wreck a diet. A lot of diets and fitness regimes allow for a cheat day, where you can eat more than normal and eat things you wouldn't normally. like ziti and cookies..

Today is your cheat day. Don't worry about it or beat yourself up.

Most people fail at diets because they have a slip up and just give up.
Look at the big picture. It's what you do over time that matters.

Note: I don't know if it's possible for you to do, but if you can keep cookies out of the house. You can't eat it if you don't have it in your kitchen.

I feel the same-I just lost a load of weight and thoght ooh just one biscuit...and ate THREE!Plus a slab of chocolate and 2 eggs on toast.I hate feeling guilty about food but I am just bored.
Anyway one bad day is ok-back to normal eating tomorrow!!

I'm not a diet and fitness expert, but I think any of them will tell you to forgive yourself for a mishap and move on. As long as you exercise and avoid binging, you should be fine.

talk to a nutrienist and maybe u should also talk to a phsyciatrist

Why not try & 'release' the guilt by doing a little exercising now? If you're feeling kind of sluggish after binging drink lots of water & try to keep your diet more scheduled for tomorrow. The trouble with dieting is the strong will needed. Good luck.

You need to get help for this as bulemia is a mental illness and you need to address it before it spirals out of control. Please tell your parents.

Get over it and exercise.

just make sure after you eat all of that be proactive dont sit around and be sad about it go out and do something without driven bike ride,walk,run dont sit on your *** and be sad about it

this isn't serious. Chill out.

Honey, you need help! Not for weight gain but for the issues that are causing you to turn to food. You need to channel your cravings for food onto something else because what you're doing is really unhealthy.

Don't forget to swallow.

No it depends on your body, but I don't think you'll gain weight, it's never too late to restart, you should go on a diet and write a chart to make sure you stay on track. Not to mention exercise, depending on how "chunky"(I hate the word fat) you are.

no u won't
u will just have a tummy ache
I have done the same
just restrain
think of the consequences
and change the food ur a bout to eat
ok
(it happens)u can enjoi this pig out day and resume to normal tomorrow(there is always room for error)

No, 1 binge wont make you get fat all of a sudden. Just make sure you go back to your routine. You should always have a deterint when on a diet, when I was on mine I had a little zapper.
When I would wanna pig out knowing I was full I would zap myslef,
11lbs later and I feel good. And dont feel disgusted at yourself, be dissapointed and dont let it happen again if your serious about losing weight.

Well, I can't disagree, you REALLY overdid. Drink a lot of water and get outside and run, walk, ride your bike and then for the rest of the day keep busy so you don't keep on doing this. We all overindulge at times, which is okay, but then limit to some extent what you eat for the next few days so things balance out and keep on with the exercise. You really didn't have to eat that much you know. Half of that would have been more than enough. I'm sure your belly hurts.

Remember you want to be able to fit into cute clothes and not just wear sweat pants with a stretchy waist and how bad you felt when you couldn't wear the clothes you wanted to. It's not about being skinny, it's about being a decent, healthy weight where you can wear cute clothes.

Don't start tomorrow, start again now!

A couple of things you can do:
1) go for a light walk. This will help rid you of that 'ugggh' feeling. 20 minutes is good.
2) plan your next meal and make it a healthy one.

Also, try to find out WHY you binged. Are you banning foods and your cravings became too intense? If so, plan on allowing yourself a treat once in a while. Its great for morale, and keeps cravings under control. Was it stress? Emotional eating? Finding out why it happened can help prevent it in the future.
NEVER GIVE UP!

Most people binge when they are dieting. You need to just make sure you go back to your same routine weight loss plan as soon as possible. You might make sure you take plenty of fiber to make sure all that bad food all clears your body.

You should buy yourself a steady supply of Promise "shots" from the grocery story to clear your system of excess cholesterol. (Yogurt Dairy Section)

Also, buy yourself a supply of phase 2 carb intercept, for the next time you binge.

Beer weight?? OK so my really good friend quit drinking beer bout 3 months ago.?

She is really stressing her weight because she is not losing anything . She was a beer drinker then quit bout 3 monthsw ago. I keep trying to tell her it took her like 9 months to put it on and just be patient. She is 5ft6 and 158pounds.. ANyone out there with any kind of tips or words of encouragement to help with this sityation... Has anyone quit drinking beer and lost an weight??

Answers: Is she drinking alot of sugar based soft drinks now instead? Because those can be just as bad as the beer. Alot of people also eat more to fill a void when they give something up such as alcohol. She has to really monitor what she eats and make changes from there. If she had significantly taken alot of calories out of her diet she would have seen results already in 3 months. I doubt she will start losing the weight now if she hasn't lost any in 3 months unless she changes her lifestyle.

My field is in fashion, as a result many people ask me how they can slim down. My answer is always the same: good diet and exercise. But I found this great product which I think helps a lot in the process. I recommend you check this website

Whats the average weight for a 20 year old female?

whats the average weight for a 20 year old female?

Answers: I don't think that there is an "average weight" for a 20 year old female.
A healthy weight depends on several things, including height and body shape.
Personally, I am quite curvy yet im not unhealthy or overweight (I go to the gym several times a week and eat healthily), however I weigh 10kg more than a friend of mine who has no curves, yet she has a higher fat percentage and would be considered closer to overweight/unhealthy.

Basically, weight is not the issue. Rather, your BMI is what is important. You can calculate your BMI on several websites on the internet by entering your height and weight. Just look in a search engine!

it really depends on the height. she could be very short or very tall. if she is of average height (64-66 inches) I would say between 124 and 144 lbs for a medium framed girl. here is a table:

http://www.lowfatweekly.com/height_and_w...

That would depends on her height, body frame, bone density, muscle/fat ratio, body type, etc. There is no one 'average' weight for a 20 year old female.

Could be anywhere from 100lb-200lb....how long is a piece of string?

If you're worried about your weight, you can check your body mass index (BMI) at the attached link. It takes into account your height and your weight and tells you where you fit in the whole scheme of humanity.

Or try this website: http://www.healthchecksystems.com/height...

It'll tell you what weight to aim for for your height and bone structure.

How can I make my body?

I go to gym everyday for workout, after 3 month I can see some result in my body,,, but when I workout my muscles shows big but after 20 min being away from gym their blow out... and I'm worout hard(lifting, bench,...)

Answers: It takes time. The reason your muscles shrink is because during a workout, blood pumps them up for the job. After they relax, the blood flow slows and the muscle shrinks back.

In time your muscles will grow larger with continued working out. Just stay away from steroids. That's not the way to build muscle mass.

Try visiting GNC stores to find protein drinks that help bulk up muscle. I've never had that problem.

Good luck.

Since I started to work out I was looking for a good weight loss product. I was on a diet but I felt that I needed a little "help" so I decided to try this great product and I had fantastic results. You can check their website at

you should see a gym profesionalist or something like that. i just work out at home so i don't really know if there is a gym profesionalist. the sporty hott dudes always fall for me when they see me. you should also try seeing a docter or whatever.
