My friend doesn't eat meat, but is not a vegetarian either. She does eat it if its minced and a component of some food. But never plain protein filled meat like chicken breast or beef. She doesn't eat fish. She eats vegetables (basically boiled, baked, pickled - not fresh... etc. with differet fatty sauces). She also eats rice, pastas etc. But I am concerned as it seems to me that this nutrition is somewhat plain. It looks like aditives to something that should be the basis of the meal, but I cannot of course make her eat what I find healthy. How do you see this diet?

I am 21 F, 5'4" and weigh 174 lbs. I lost twelve pounds in the last month. My body fat went down 2% in the past month (per meter from gym). I've been faithfully attending the gym for elliptical and treadmill workout 3 times a week for 30 mins each, pushing it to the limit. I am doing free weight training with a cardio/aerobic dvd every other day. I am getting in my squats, lunges, all that good stuff.

My recommended calories is 2500/daily. I take in about 1200-1500, depending on whether or not it is a cardio day. I drink around 85-100 oz. of water daily.

What else should I do to keep it up? I am afraid my body will just stop shedding pounds like it has been. I am wondering is it a crazy goal to want to be 145lbs by June 15?

Last time I lost weight, I kept it off. I am very disciplined and I take good pride in my appearance. I had a surgery on my intestine last year which made me gain 50lbs.

Well so i wake up wednesday morning and my tooth is hurting pretty bad and its kinda loose. Which its permenant of course so i knew something was wrong. When i was younger i was jumping on a trampoline and chipped the bottom left corner of my tooth off. I have been getting it fixed ever since. The filling has fell off several times so i guess its finally caught up to me. I gave it a day then went to my dentist and he said i had an abscessed tooth. I call the oral surgeon here and they scheduled me for an appt for today which is tuesday (6 days after it started hurting) But i had surgery 2 weeks ago on my knee so i can't drive myself, my father is out of town on buisness which is normal. So i had no way to get to it, my question is if i keep taking (cephalexin) will i be ok until my re-schedule? Its re-scheduled for next week on wednesday which is a week and a day from now. The pain and swelling are almost gone, just have a little pocket of puss type stuff at the top of my tooth. Thanks

I hav been working out near 4 months. But then, my weight only decreased by 3kg/ 6.6lbs. But then i could see my triceps, biceps, my legs muscles bulging out, and my stamina increased by 3 times. The problem is, i only lost 6.6 lbs and the stubborn bellyfat is still there. Pls tell me how to lose like 10 lbs by august and drop like 4 inches of belly fats.
And pls do not post those answers like asking me to buy those slimming pills, or diet pills or other slimming products because i dun believe in such things. Thanks a lot.

I was fine this morning till I went to pick up a bag and as soon as I lifted it I felt this extremley sharp pain in the middle of my back. Now I can barley move. I bent over a little a minute ago and I was almost not able to get back up. Biggest problem is I work nights and I'm stuck at work right now b/c this all happened right as I was about to get off. Luckily I work at a hotel and am able to lie down. I have to get home soon though to take my wife to work. What do I do to make it stop? Please help!

Please don't be alarmed, I'm asking this to get some product info. My wife told me that women sometimes use what is called "tawas" here in the Philippines (ammonium alum) as a feminine wash, and that it has the effect of tightening the vagina. Is this true? Is it safe? Does it have any side effects, such as causing irritation? How does one prepare it for use? I know it's a pretty good deodorant, but I -- obviously -- don't know about this other stuff, and would like to know if I can responsibly advertise another use for the product I sell.

My mom had tests done, they found a few growths on her liver, but after a biopsy they said that the cells in the liver does not indicate on liver cancer, but indeed originated from somewhere else. Does anyone know where that can be and of any cases that that has happened before. Any help would be appreciated.

I have been told that I have an infection at the top of my tooth (it has a big filling in it - inlay). They have given me Metronidazole tablets. I am now on my 3rd day of a 5 day course and the pain has subsided slightly but not much. How long do you think they will take to work?
