Doctor told me I had to get on Atkins for 6 wks to take off weight and get blood sugars down. It is week 3 and I only had one apple and one buscuit one time all other times basically this: I eat an egg and saussage for breakfast, cheese and lunch meat for lunch and dinner two veggies and more meat. I have snacked on dry roasted nuts and gained two lbs in one week. Lots of water and walk three times a wekk for 3 miles. What is happening? I do notice I have stopped craving sugar but blood sugar is too high still.

I get pretty severe cramps during my period but for the last 2 months or so the cramps continue even after my period is gone. It's almost every day where I have a constant crampy pain. It seems to be lower than the period cramps though. I don't have any other symptoms. Any ideas what this might be?

I know it's the job of Dental proffesionals to save as many teeth, in as many mouths as possible. However, My upper set of teeth, are so cosmetically, and structurally disfigured from years of, shall we say "poor choices", that to be honest, I'd be very happy to have the ones that are still there removed. constant pain in the ones that aren't visible, and most of the ones you can see when I speak are either missing, broken, or black. I went to one dentist that wanted to charge me several hundred dollars per extraction. the math here boggles my mind, and over strains any dental plan out there. I appreciate any advice offerred, and hope for the best. Thanks

22 year old male, 5'11" .Weights > Jan 06 = 380#s, Jun 06 = 343#s, April 07 = 298#s. Eat less more often, but thats about it. Want to slim down and gain some muscle / strength. Been told a recumbent bike, weights, and pilates might do the trick, but unsure. I seem to lose inches more from shoulders, arms, legs, and my butt. But my chest and gut are still highly jiggly. Although I still need much work all over. I would like to be in the 170# - 200# range.
What options does one with goals similar to mine have?
Whats the ideal weight for someone my height ?
What would be the lowest possible healthy weight attainable since I have some muscle from being close to 400#s?
What kind of results can I expect and in what amount of time?
What foods are suggested to maximize the effects of my efforts?
Any additional advice would be greatly appreciated.

I need to start eating healthier because lately I have been feeling gross. I was curious what would be healthy for breakfast and lunch? I like to eat my own dinner (in moderation)... but I need a good list of breakfast and lunch meals.
So here is what I was thinking about for possible meals for breakfast
-Berry smoothie
-Banana and yogurt
-Iced mocha and banana

which is healthiest? and other ideas that I could have to eat? cause I want food what will help me stay the same or keep belly weight off... (I do workout a few times in the week)

I want to use a penis pump for a harder fuller erection (not to add "permanent size"). My question is if I used the pump with viagra before sex would it be alot better? assuming viagra relaxes the vessels to allow more blood to flow, and the vacuum pump bring more blood in?

This month my period was a couple days late and I was sure I was pregnant. I just had this feeling(hubby and I hadn't really been trying hard but, if it happened, it happend and we would be thrilled). My period finally did come a couple days late and it hasn't stopped, since. I've had it for a week and a half, now and it's still heavy as ever with clotting. Usually I have a very heavy flow for about 2-3 days and a light-moderate flow for about 3-4 more days and then it's over. This time I've had almost 2 weeks of non stop heavy flow. IDK if something is wrong with me or what is going on. Could I have been pregnant and miscarriaged and not known it? Plz. help.

Why do men have to shave everyday cut up thier face and all that fun stuff to look presentable? yet women get nair and hair b gone suff? it looks like it be so much better to rub a rag on your face and its gone, not drag a knife across your face. (unless you a hippie).

Do that many people have such blind faith in random internet goers, rather than just asking a real doctor? Is there a way to stop this lunacy?
