They say a serving size is about a fist?

Given that, I would have to eat 6 fists of grain, 3 fists of veges, 2 fists of fruits, 2 fists of dairy, 2 fists of meat and lets not count sweets.

THATS 15 FISTS!!

I think I would have food coma 3 times over. Is that amount unrealistic for anyone? Im sure thats more than the daily calories too.

Prednisone and Cortisone. Are they the same thing? I'm wondering what they do and how do their side effects differ? I have a friend who is having a cortisone shot today and she is worried that it is going to make her feel bad. I told her it shouldn't but she seems to think it will be as bad as the side effects caused by the Prednisone. Any info? Thanks all.

I have a friend who lives with her uncle and aunt, her uncle is the main problem, he is constantly making rude comments about her body/figure constantly saying she will get fat and criticising everything she eats (she is fit and skinny and athletic) he is 70 and has a huge gut and is constantly putting her down. Its taking a toll on her and I would like to give her some good advice, anyone can tell me what to say to her? or have any articles I can forward to her? I already told her she that he is doing it to make himself feel better about himself. She has to live with them she is going to school and they are letting her live at their home for very cheap because her parents don't live in the same state she goes to school at. Thank you!

I have no idea what it's from. I've had it for a week or two now. I'm also only 16 so it seems rather odd. Does anyone have any ideas to make it stop hurting or what it could be. It almost has a burning sensation when it hurts really bad.
