From a womans point of view. Do you care whether a man is uncircumcised? Is it less attractive?

I am a 23 year old stay at home mom who is still brestfeeding my 8 1/2 month old daughter. I would like to start loosing some of my baby weight, (right now I weigh aprox 175lbs compared to my 145lbs pre-baby. ) I do yoga a few days a week, so I am fairly active, and I know that I should not really "diet" until I am done brestfeeding, but I was wondering, how many grams of fat a brestfeeding woman needs, compared to a woman who is not brestfeeding that is trying to loose weight. Thanks!

I constantly think about the future! I think it makes sense right now because my life kinda sucks (my family moved far away, I have no money to spend, I'm living on my own while I'm in college so I have to work a lot and still go to school, etc). My boyfriend and I have been together for over 4 years, so I plan our wedding, our move to another state, our house and other future things when I'm home...but in a weird way, like I calculate money spending/saving way too much. Lately I've been spending so much time online that I have little time for other things...I sometimes have difficulty breathing, heart palpitations, headaches, body aches/twitching, fatigue, trouble falling asleep/staying asleep, I've been avoiding people/doing things, I'm sad, frustrated, I obviously overthink, blah blah blah... I don't know if the future stuff is related to the way I feel right now, but I just wish I could be happy and relaxed and live in the moment..! Ugh! Thanks for listening ;o)

Lately, I have been on a health kick and taking vitamins, but I have the urge to just keep taking them three/four times daily. Is there alot of harm in doing this? Such as Biotin, Vitamin D, Saw Palmetto and Vitex?

basically i have always had a negative attitude, about myself and life in general, and feeling sad alot of the time, often for no apparent reason. but recently i went through a really rough time. i started to self harm, cried constantly, stayed in my room and took lots of sleeping pills....it all culminated in a paracetamol overdose....i went to hospital, stayed overnight under observation and was sent home no questions asked....about two weeks later i received a letter offering me an appointment with a psychiatrist. i went and was asked a few basic questions...nothing too in depth and was sent on my way and advised to speak to my uni councellor. surely this is completely inadequate? not that im an expert but surely my symtoms and actions should have been treated more seriously? what do i have to do to get some help?!!!

My doctor just told me that i have heterochromia(having a different eye color in each eye) my rigth eye is blue, and my left eye is green. I never noticed, i dont know why; but lately my friends noticed that my eyes are different. So i went to see doctor, and he told me; I never noticed because its not that rare as other cases in which people have one blue eye and the other one is brown. I just wanted to know if its bad to have heterochromia? or if it will damage me in some kind of way in the future?

Ox-LDL maybe more direct hit to health. How come they can provide the measured cholesterols and LDL but not this data. Low LDL doesnt mean low oxidation of LDL and vice versa. What are tools the lab need to measure ox-LDL?

I asked a similar question a minute ago. I believe I will get better answers if I include some of the embarrassing deatils.

This happens when I am on top, and not with positons where I don't have to do much work. I am fine untill I get up and start to look for my clothes. It starts out as my ears ringing and then the ringing goes away and I can't hear anything, my vision becomes spotted like I just got a hundred camera flashes at me and then goes dark, but I can still see, its just as if all the lights were turned out. At that point, if I haven't sat down I'll fall, and I'll be like that, deaf and almost blind for 5 minutes or so, all the while there is a strange painful sensation in my chest and head, and my skin tingles. It is so scary, Every time it happens I fantasize that I am about to die, and it scares my boyfriend as well.

What could this possibly be and what is the most eloquent way to bring this up to my doctor and express my concern without coming off as a hypochondrac

I recently bought this "Concept XT Mood Lights" for my car, which runs through the car cigarette lighter. It was only after I brought it home that I read this small warning at the back saying "The use of this product is likely to cause exposure to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm." Now it never occured to me that something like this would cause cancer. Can anyone tell me how this happens and is it because of the bulb or just coz its blue? Here is the item I bought. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MOOD-LIGHTS-SOFT-BLUE-ILLUMINATE-INTERIOR_W0QQitemZ190034138240QQcmdZViewItem

I mean like a completely safe liquid nitrogen but not nitrogen? Something that can help in, say, heat exhaustion? I would like to know about a chemical, not necessarily an organic, natural product.

I was just wondering.

2007-04-08 11:07:57 · 6 answers · asked by ? 1 in Other - Health

I'm 6'2", 200 lbs, maybe 14 or 15% body fat right now.

Currently, I weight train 4 days a week and bike ride about an hour twice a week. I eat about 2000 calories per day and I'm loosing about a pound a week.

But I want to try something. I want to cut back to about 1200-1500 calories per day for a two week period, and bike ride one to two hours per day while I'm doing it. No weights as I don't want to injure myself while eating so little.

I'll stay hydrated and get my nutrients, and I really want to try this experiment to see what happens. What are the risks and how do I do this safely and hopefully without lowering my metabolism?

Thanks
