I am only interested in those who are serious about this way of eating. I would like to lose 15lbs., but would like to keep it off instead of going back and forth with it. I have read the book and now want some serious advice or tips from all of you out there who eat low carb to be successful. I also work out an hour a day 5x's a week regardless of my wanting to lose weight or not.

Ok well, i am 20 years old, 5'5 and weigh 150 pounds... i used to weight 130 and was cut up..had abs and all but for some reason i gained weight... I recently started running every other day at the track and it's been about a week and i haven't let of any weight... I goal is to weight 130 pounds and get my abs back. I have a heart condition so i am not allowed to lift weights...so running is the only option i have... I do eat healthy on the most part, also since i have gained the weight my face has become puffy and would like to get rid of it. A friend of mine told me to just drink muscle milk 3 times a day along with some fruits and vegetables and a lot of water for a month... I thought this sounds a little retarded...Someone give me their thought on his....

Please someone give me advice ... maybe what to eat? ... how to lose 20 pounds, get abs back, and lose the puffyness in my face... TY!

Over the past couple of weeks, I noticed that one of my bottom teeth has shifted and sticks out a little. It's uncomfortable and I feel extremely self conscious. I set up a consultation with my dentist who said that I probably wouldn't want to go through the trouble of wearing braces again (I wore them 19 years ago at the age of 15 for 2 1/2 years) and that my top row of teeth are pretty and that I shouldn't worry about it because no one would notice. I'm constantly looking in the mirror and feel that others do notice it. I would sacrifice wearing braces just to avoid this awkward feeling (my tongue always seems to touch in that area too). Other than invisilign or regular braces, are there any other alternatives, such as a retainer to help with this type of minor problem?

Firstly I'd like to say a big thank you to all the people who responded to my last question.Your answers were very helpful.Just to recap I'm a 43 year old Brit living in Japan married to a local lady with three young daughters.Last year I was diagnosed with bicuspid aortic valve by chance.My mean pressure gradient was 28mm and at another hospital 22mm. My valve area was 2.3cms.This year soon after having a very heavy meal the echo gave a reading of 37mm and 32mm.I'm going to another hospital to have a transoesophageal echo in June.I feel terrified that that my pressure gradient increased so much.The doctor said not to worry as I have no symptoms,stenosis or regurgitation but I'm afraid to say I still have sleepless nights.Last year the doctor said weight training,yoga and running was ok but now nothing is allowed.Would having an echo directly after eating a heavy meal cause this increase or is it due to my exercises.The doctor said Japan is quite medically advanced but I'm very down.

If you had an accident how long did you put off the surgery? If you were diagnosed with arthritis, etc., how long did you wait before you decided it was time to go under the knife? Was the pain unbearable and ,if so, how did you cope? Which medicines worked best for you? Did you do any kind of at home treatments that helped? Thanks in advance!
