Health - 15 June 2007

If I ate a small breakfast, a meal replacement bar for lunch, and a meal replacement bar for dinner - would this be an effective way to lose weight? Also, what are really good tasting bars that you have tried, but are still healthy/low calorie? In addition to this diet, I would work out like crazy. Would I lose 15-20 pounds in a month?! Please don't tell me this is wrong, it's my life. Thank you, I appreciate all of the helpful people here <3

im really worried about my brother, he is 16 and uncontrolable, he has always been really good until about 6 months ago, then he started getting drunk a few times a week, at first my mum and dad would tell him off and ground him and this worked (as it did with me!)but then his best friend killed himself at the end of feb and things have got really bad, he drinks every day (says it is nothing to do with the death) but i not sure? my mum and dad just cant controll him anymore, if they try to ground him he would just laugh and threaten to get more drunk than usual, they are walking on egg shells constantly as they know he has been through so much this year (also just done gcse's) he has been to counceling a couple of times but says it was useless, he knows he can get away with anything (though he would never do anything criminal) we have never had to deal with a suicide before so do not know how best to handle this? anyone elso who has experienced this sort of thing? tried talking to him

Every so often, I get tremors in my hands, and I start to feel jittery. Actually, it feels like my blood sugar is low, but I've checked it the last 5 or 6 times, and it's been normal and consistent. I don't have any other symptoms. I've tried to pinpoint what causes it, whether it's stress, exercise, caffeine.. but there aren't any consistencies that I can see. It only affects my hands. I thought it might be a sodium deficiency, because it seems to get better if I eat a lot of salt or take a salt pill, but when I did some research, my symptoms aren't really consistent with a sodium deficiency (which is quite serious, from what I can gather). I'm planning to bring it up with my doctor next time I go, but wanted to get some input from anyone else who might have gone through this. Thanks!!!

I have been having this discharge for about 1 year. I have been reading about it and I hear it is called a yeast infection. Do I have to have medication to cure this or can I just leave it alone. I just want it to go away.

if you touch poison ivy but clean it right after (like within minutes) and like 6 hours later there's no rash or itch, does that mean you're fine, or does it take a while to develop?

I'm struggling with quitting smoking. I'm using the patch, but it seems like I'm extremely irritable and can't control how cranky I am. I've been so snotty this last week that a lot of people have just told me to call them when I'm doing better and until then to leave them alone. My girlfriend is pissed at me(more than usual), too, and I've been very depressed(although there are more reasons for this than just quitting smoking). Does anyone have any suggestion for helping me deal with this?

I was hit in the face by my airbag in an accident, where my nose took the majority of the injuries. After such force to my nose, I was left with two black eyes (on Wednesday). At the hospital, they immediately gave me ice packs for my eyes, though they really weren't bruised too terribly. After ice and heat alternation for two days, my eyes and the swelling look 100% better, but beneath my eyes is still a little dark and slightly purple. Is it unusual for the bruising to subside so quickly (not that I'm complaining)? Is is possible that my bruises could clear up for the most part by Sunday (turn yellowish, greenish, and fade)? How long does it usually take for black eyes/swelling to go away after trauma to the nose?

Tips on how to lose weight...I'll love you forever.x

2007-06-15 10:51:44 · 4 answers · asked by ♥ Steph 2 in Diet & Fitness

I am a 28 yr old female I weigh 124lbs and I am 5'7. I quit smoking over a year ago and I went from 100lbs to 141lbs as a result. I decided 141 looked terrible on me so I've been exercising 30 mins per day and I am down to 124. I think I look nicely toned, not too skinny, a very healthy looking weight on me since I have a small frame. My only problem is my stomach looks like it doesn't belong on me. I still have some extra fat there and little, but noticable, love handles. I also bloat if I drink more than a few drinks of anything a day..especially water. I don't know how I can possibly lose it. I jog everyday but it seems like all it does it build muscle in my arms and legs..

Any suggestions?

I am a 17 year old female
Need to be able to do at least 50 push ups by the end of the summer. I am planning on joining the Coast Guard and need to pass the PFE test. Everything I read tells me how to improve the amount of push ups I can do but it doesn't help if I cant even do one! Please someone help. I am not fat or anything like that. I am 140 and 5'5. I am also a athlete, just cant do any real push ups.
