Diet Fitness Questions and Answers
Does coffee count toward your 8 glasses of water a day?
I drink a ton of coffee every day. Since it's made with water, does that count toward the daily amount of water you need to drink?Answers: No, the caffeine is a diuretic and will pull water out of your system. If it is de-caffeinated coffee, then it does count.
well yes and no!
the thing about coffee is that it contains the drug called caffeine and is not good for your body to have large amounts of it. but on top of all the coffee you should still have at least 6 glasses of water just plain water. water will make your skin rejuvenate it self and also give your body a better chance to flush out some of the toxin that your body contains.
No, they mean PURE water. It purifies your body and washes away all the bad. But don't drink it all at once. And don't buy bottled water, too many bottles to go through, bad for the environment. Fill up a squirt bottle, if you have one, of HARD tap water. Not softened, it's not good for you, only for your skin, hair and dishes. And just drink it throughout the day. Hope this helped!
no caffeine actually dehydrates you. so if you drink a cup, you should drink a cup of water to replace the fluid you lost. same thing with tea, any drink with caffeine, or alcohol. 8 glasses of water means pure water
no it does not. please dont believe people who say yes, coffee is mostly caffine and sugar. caffine is a drug that boosts your energy levels right up and they quickly come back down. Making you feel tired and dehydrated. It does not contribute towards your daily water intake.
A human being needs 8 glasses of water a day. You can only get that from water. You may get some from pure fruit juices.
You should stop drinking so much coffee, its really not good for you to take in so much. Same with anything.
How long does it take for you to loose weight with Hydroxycut?
Answers: That depends on how much you excercise and how well you eat. If you diet and excersise you can see a dramatic change in as litttle as 2 weeks. Excersice at least 3 times a week follow the directions on the bottle, drink plenty of water, and eat right dont eat fast foods.
Are you aiming to lose weight or lose body fat? With or without hydroxycut you can only lose an average of two pounds of body fat every week.
Its easy to lose water weight and muscle (but you dont want this to happen). So if you want to look better, i suggest your aim would be to lose body fat - not body weight.
But of course you wont lose weight by just taking hydroxycut. You need exercise as well - but even the harshest of trainers still wont go far above 2 pounds of body fat a week.
You think by popping a pill you will lose weight??
Oh my....
Just diet and exercise!
Pelvic floor toners? smartballs or tens?
Whats the best kind to get, the balls or machine, I read that you'd have to do over 350 of the excercises a day that midwifes recommend after birth to feel the benefit, and I haven't. Do these machines work?Answers: Man&Womankinds greatest enemy = Impatience.
See your doctor,physio or nurse and get advice everybody is different but if your not going to do the exercises on your own get the tens machine!
You'll reap the rewards in the future as long as you take action!
If you see your local Physio dept they will have someone specialised in pelvic floor dysfunction. This is not an easy question to answer... Physio's use the muscle stimulators, weights and exercises but you do need to be assessed to see what will suit you best.
How many miles or km can you run..?
honestly without stopping , i can do 8.10 km which is 5 miles what can you do ?xAnswers: about 10-12 K is my max limit I have done so far. It's under 8 mile.
Now I run about 5 mile 2 or 3 times a week in the evenings. Takes me an hour, as I am not a fast runner, I run for endurance.
PS- 'ykantskizzitread' you are running 70 mph on a 5% incline on the trade mill?...this is impossible, 70 mph is just about the car speed on a motorway...
did you mean 7 mph? that's more like it :)
That's really good - I am very unfit and don't want to embarrass myself with a distance, lol.
Keep up the good work though!
Correct/average weight??
for 5'4 female.. 16-17 yrs old?!?!Answers: there is no correct weight.
I can't tell you your exact perfect weight.
but go to google and type in bmi calculator and click on the link and it will tell you.
i dont know exactly but i'm 5'4 and 114 lbs. i have no idea.
look, dont obsess about weight though! muscle weighs more than fat, and different body types affect weight differently. it all depends on how YOU feel and how you view your body! if you feel good, you're fine. confidence is key!
There is a more average weight based on calculating your BMI.
For you I believe 140 is getting to the top range of the normal weight range.

Question about creatine. Serious answers only?
I am an avid lifter, and have been for over 4 years. I never got the results I wanted, due to the most part, I didn't know what I was doing. I was a steady 200 lbs for the majority of that time period, with a fairly high fat % at 6 feet even, id say around 18-20%.I recently however am undertaking LL Cool J's platinum workout, and have seen amazing results because of it. I am down to 175 lbs but I had to sacrifice some strength because of it and replace it with more cardio.
I am wondering if it would be beneficial to start using creatine during this time period to help me gain some strength back.
But here's my concern, I am afraid that the creatine will make me look bigger instead of cut, and i don't want that at all. I just want to have the extra boost i need to get my strength back.
Answers: Creatine will result in a bigger amount of water retention, but for the most part it wont be noticeable to the extent that it will make you look "bigger".
It will help to get some strength back faster, and will help to grow your muscles. So since it grows your muscles, it will make you heavier, but provided that you keep with a good diet, it could actually help you look more cut.
I'm on creatine all the time, and it doesn't make me any fatter. When I went off it for a while, all I noticed was a drop in strength!
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
http://www.trim-fit.info and order you free trial, also you only pay $6.95 shipping and handling. Good luck!
I'm trying to get skinny.?
well would it be ok if i didn't eat unless i was hungry, and only ate enough that would keep me happy and energized, but didnt do it at certain times of the day? [breakfast, lunch, brunch, dinner] just had them whenever i was hungry?? and if i [3.5-4.0] on a treadmill a day until i reached a mile? how much weight do you think i would loose in a month?Answers: Fat weighs as much as muscle, so you will not lose weight by building muscle, (well eventually you will, but after a while) but that is good because you will be losing inches and that is what counts. Eat lean meat, fruits and veggies. Celery is good because since it is hard to digest, it is actually negative calories because your body burns calories to digest it. Just eat healthy and workout.
Good Luck!
Getting skinny may not always be healthy . But if you are fixed on the idea get ready to go hungry often till you acquire the desired state and instead of so much exercise which is healthy, read a lot . It's sentient and as you atrophy from lack of properly needed exercise and calories you will get skinny . then you can go to a competent physician to help you deal with the damages . Don't stop drinking water or you will die and hydration shouldn't make you gain any permanant weight.
Sorry for the bad advice but that's what you wanted and I doubt if you would see a therapists anyway.
if you substitute breakfast and lunch for a low calorie diet shake(slim fast) with a small snack before a sensible dinner (fruit) and you hit the treadmill everyday for about 30 minutes you could lose anywhere from 6 to 7 pounds in a month as long as you follow a strict diet and drink plenty of water.
thats a tough question concidering everyone s body and metabolism is diffrent but as long as you're gettin all the stuff your body needs you should be fine....it's actualy encouraged to eat more meals a day but only very small ones that way your body keeps trying to get mroe and more and the second that small meal is digested u start burning fat...also remember not to ever do it and stay healthy & that the less you eat the more you have to stick to a healthy foods so you're getting everything you need...good excercise is always good to & that as well dont ever do just as much as your body allows dont go half dead on the treadmill when your muscles are telling you that they cant any more than stop
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

You should think about going to a weight loss type of boot camp like the ones on http://www.fitnesscamps.net/ I went to a camp and in addition to losing more than 30 lbs in less than a month, I learned an amazing amount of nutritional information that i rely on whenever i have doubts. At least it helps to answer these questions! hehe.. Good luck.
Is it healthier to eat fast food than to not eat at all?
No food or Grease.. They're both bad but which is actually better for your body?Answers: living with fast food is not as bad as living without food
if you dont eat you die...
...simply put any food (except chinese SARS infested food) is better than NO FOOD.
I would think skipping luch over a greasy burger is better for you. I think people eat more often then they need to anyway.
Like someone said though, if fast food is your only food source at the time, there are healthy options now, like salads.
And of course over a long period of time, (as you would die without any food) Even greasy food would be a better option, but not the best one.
Also I find that warm water supresses my midnight hunger craves, as that is the worst time to snack.
*Edit* The guy that said eat your food slowly cracked me up, a different type of fast food eh? Although he's right... not on the correct question. Anyway, I had a good laugh.
As with everything in life, moderation is what’s needed.
~
You should eat several times per day. You should drink regularly all day long. So if the alternative is to starve - to go many hours without food or drink - then fast food is better. However... Your total calorie and fat intake for the day should not exceed the amount of energy you burn. Fast food tends to contain a lot of calories, and a lot from fat. Try choosing a smaller burger, or skip the fries. Choose a salad, or buy some fruit. Have a baked potato, rather than frying everything.
Nobody has to give up fast food. You just have to make sure you eat other food too, and work or exercise enough to balance up the calories.
Hope this helps
it's always better to eat something that is unhealthy than to not eat at all. human beings are not plants we can not create energy from collecting sunlight, the energy and nutrients that are essential to our survival need to be ingested or we do not get them, end of story.
Muscle or fat?
So I've been going to the gym for a month and a half and have gained 7 lbs. I realize this is the muscle weight, but if so, how come my clothes don't fit any better?Answers: its muscle you just havent lost the fatty weight exactly
When you ache all over and you feel like your body is out of balance what should you do?
Answers: Is this just the flu? If so, I know you are miserable now, but it will be over soon.
Do your ears hurt especially--infections and other ear problems can cause problems with balance.
If it is an infection of any kind, or if you have no idea what's wrong, go see a doctor--you may need a prescription. If you think it could just be the flu, you could wait another day to see if you feel better (try to drink water and juice). If anything starts to feel dangerous (trouble breathing, so dizzy you crawl to make sure you don't fall) get to an ER or call an ambulance. If it lasts longer than three days see a doctor. In fact, the only reason for not seeing a doctor is if you do believe it is the flu--if you know what the flu feels like and this isn't it, get a doctor to figure it out.
Why is your body out of balance? You need to give more details
What are you doing to cause this are you overdoing exercise?
Get some rest and then address being out of balance> Is there and inner ear problem. ?
Stress Fat?
Ok so I am 20 years old 5'6 and 145 pounds. When I met my current boyfriend I was 17 5'6 and 108 pounds. So how did I gain 40 pounds in 3 years. And how do I quit stressing out over it so I can lose the weight. Also my chest went from a nice big B to a very large C. How do I shrink them? I just started working out and eating better but can't quit stressing about the fat. I don't want to be 108 pounds again but want to look good. Any suggestions?Answers: Reducing your bodyfat will help reduce the size of your breasts.
Remember you need to use more calories than you take in to acheive weight loss. Eating a balanced healthy diet and a combo of strength training and cardio trainng will help you acheive your goals.
Try not to stress. Just make a plan of what you are going to do and set some goals then work toward them. If you fall off the wagon along the way dust yourself of and keep on going.
