Suppose you eat 6 oz of the richest, most decadent chocolate mousse in the world. Can you gain more than 6 oz of weight as a result? Why or why not?

The law of conservation of mass would say that it is impossible to gain any more mass than what you eat, at least in a closed system. It doesn't matter how much your body processes food, it cannot generate more mass (weight) from that food than what is in that food. However, theoretically it might be possible to gain 2 pounds from that 6 oz of mousse if somehow it changed the way the rest of your food was processed, say if it caused your body to metabolize other food differently.

But I'm betting it doesn't work that way. Still, I don't know what really happens.

(Yes I am trying to justify something I did, and actually it was closer to 8 or 10 oz.)

My cousin was recently diagnosed with bipolar II disorder, and despite all of the medication and therapy, he still feels like he is losing his grasp on the world. I don't know much about bipolar II, and there does not seem to be much information on it. Is there anything that I should know about it? More importantly, what is the best way that I can help him?

it says to mix it with juice or anything with glucose in it. The thing is I don't drink juice or drinks with sugar in it. I prefer stuff made with splenda. Can I still mix the creatine with those types of drinks or should there be sugar in it? The brand is Precision Engineered Creatine Hardcore powder pure creatine monohydrate. 5000mg per serving

I want to know how to become...I guess you could say a more practical person. I have a horrible habit of losing things, and it makes me really mad! And I always leave the house only to remember that I've forgotten something.

I feel like I'm constantly taking extra precaution because I know I have this problem, but it also makes me spend more time doing things that other people can do in less time.

Oddly enough, I have good memory and organization skills...until I'm loaded with stuff that is. Just today I was carrying lots of things, and because I was so worried about leaving anything behind, I ended up losing some cash I had just earned...

The same is true with tasks. I do a super good job on most things...until I have tons of things to do, then nothing gets done! I can only focus on one thing at a time.

I think that, in certain situations, this can be very serious. I am really mad at myself right now for losing the money. I know I need to change, but how? Please help!

I have really sensitive skin and for some reason stupidly used Sally Hansen's Hair Removal cream. I'm having a severe allergic reaction, it itches and hurts and my (white) skin is now almost purple. I've taken some Prednisone that i got last time i had a really bad reaction to poison ivy since this is so similar, but it's old and not doing any good. i also tried aloe but it's not any better. i cant go to the doctor because i dont have insurance.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Antihistamines? Even something natural like putting some kind of food on the skin??

I want to ask that we have a different approach while judging others but when others are judging to us, we start taunting, criticise them if they are right like we are now-a-days comparison between SRK's KBC & Amitabhji's KBC. Is it really good to judge by not giving a chance to them ?

I'm a 22 year old female. I've been pretty in active since high school and have really put on some weight. I'd like to lost about 50 pounds. I'm out of shape and have a bad diet. Can someone help or guide me in the right direction? I'd like to be able to run and not get tired easily. I'd also like to be able to be able to go out to eat or whatever with my friends occasionally. I need help!

I am in the normal bmi range for my height. My workout routine is boxer conditionning:

Stretching, abdominal toning, flexibility exercises for approximately 20 minutes, 20 minutes interval running, circuit training of 5 rounds, each lasting 3 minutes. Then, it's on to the bag, etc. and boxing techniques. I do this three times a week (should i be doing more?)

I'm curious, are carbs REALLY good for you post workout?

What about the huge deal people make about carbs making you fat? I am not fat, but I wanna really tone up my belly and arms, etc. (my abs are covered by a thin, uh, "layer" that I wanna get rid of!)

Would eating carbs right after a workout be a good idea? I find it hard to accept this, in that people make such a big deal about not eating carbs (with all the crazy diets out there, etc.)

Any advice and/or extra information is appreciated!

I need to make contact with anyone who answers the following questions with a yes..1. Are you currently using nicotine replacement gum to keep from smoking or did you use it for at least two years? 2. Do/did you use at least ten 2 mg. pieces per day? 3. Did you experienced severe body aches or muscle cramping during nighttime hours while using the gum? I suspect my nighttime charlie horses and body aches early in the day are somehow related to lower levels of nicotine during those times. Always feel much better later in the day. Please answer and if willing, send me an e mail to discuss this possibility. I need your help. My e mail is shopkeeperibo@yahoo.com. Thank you.

I must assure you, my lips ARE NOT dry at all. They are normal, and have not changed. My lips are splitting on the sides of my mouth, which is causing me a great deal of pain. I have been eating purified foods for a week now because the sides of my lips will break open. I wake up in the morning and I have blood in my mouth and on my face. My lips are not dried out and I have tried polysporn and other topyical treatments to help heal/prevent them from breaking open again, but it seems like I am getting nowhere. The sides of my lips are not healing and I want to know what is causing this and what else I can do since I have tried many different things.
