I want to drop 8-15 lbs relatively quickly. if I eat only things like raw celery and salad with vinegar/oil, steamed broccoli, and small portions of good proteins like egg whites or small pieces of fish like tuna or salmon, for 2 weeks, do you think I will lose any of the weight? (btw- i dont drink pop or sugar in my hot tea, dont eat carbs really anymore all the time, and dont eat many fried foods) Also, I was going to do about 45 minutes of cardio at least 5 days a week... Thanks for the answers and any suggestions would be great!

Hey folks,

Here is the problem, I have a friend who has a very strange eating pattern. This has been going on for about three years and is finally getting to the point where I’m worried for her. I’ll start from the top… three years ago she was over weight and didn’t really care about what she ate. Then suddenly she saw the whole Special K cereal diet that soon became popular. During this diet she only ate three meals a day. Two meals would be the cereal with skim milk and the third would be dinner and it would be whatever she felt like having. After about a couple of months she noticed a big decrease in fat and began to start this diet hardcore. Now that she had been doing that diet for about 2 years this developed a mind set where she could only eat 2 small snacks and a big meal at the end of the night. I’ve noticed over time that she has grown fatigued easy and I think her diet has gone on for way too long. It’s just not healthy to eat like that! I talked to her about this and she says that she is overwhelmed with guilt if she eats more than three meals. I’m truly concerned about her health. Anyone have any ideas on how to break this mind set and change her diet?

I have peripheral neuropathy ( numbness) in my feet. I am not a diabetic. I have had this now for 1 1/2 years. The 2 neuroligist I've been to do not know the cause. I've taken Neurontin and it really has been no help. Does anyony know of any kind of treatment program which might include some therapy like electronic stimulation and maybe a more effective drug. I am desperate. This is ruining my life.

I would like to know some of your experiences with getting dentures. I am 31, having 20 extractions, getting full set on top and partial on bottom. I will be getting an immediate TEMP set of dentures/partial that same day. Everyone I have talked to says the pain level will be no more than a normal extraction but I beg to differ. Can you offer your experiences??

ok, i need to get healthier. any help? please read all cause i have "issues" lol.

first off. i just quit smoking. 3 days ago. i've been smoking about 3 years. at most a half a pack a day. but thats that. i quit.

now for the bad stuff
i eat horribly. like only bread. ever. really. but i've always been like that and i've always been a picky eater. like fried chicken fingers, plain cheese burgers, and pasta with butter. or cheese pizza. thats pretty much the extent of my diet. oh yeah, and diet coke. i'll give you an example, today, i'll have a bagel with creamcheese and diet coke, then maybe for dinner i'll have a pb&j sandwhich. and some more coke. yesterday i had chicken parm (just a small order) and diet coke, then popcorn, carrott juice (sobe) and some english muffins with cheese, saltines, and some chocolates that were sitting in front of me. i just dont like much when it comes to food.

and then there is my exersize habbits. or lack there of.

Just started using this product almost a week ago. Already my face stings, looks sunburned, and is flaking off. I know it can take 1 - 3 months to notice full effects. However, I was just wondering how long these side-effects will last? I don't want to waste my time should this not be the product for me. Any tips/suggestions on how long to give it would be appreciated. Walking around with a red, flaky face is JUST AS EMBARRASSING as being broke-out....so how long can I expect this to take; and how long, or how exactly, will I really know Differin is working for me? Thank you for answers in advance!!!

I have a bad yeast infection. I don't know the cause. Has anyone had an infection that they think was caused by drinking to much soda? I am positive I read somewhere the soda to the excess can cause an infection.
