In a day based on a 2000 calorie diet how much fat; carbs; sodium; and protein should be consumed in percentage or grams/mg? The more specific the better; such as what kinds of fat. Any help is appreciated (I'm using fitday.com). Factual answers only please. Im trying to begin a healthy lifestyle; but I'm not that educated with food and I'm trying to do it right. If I consume 2000 calories a day say by just eating pizza even though its 2000 cals I'll gain weight; what's the proper balance? Thanks a lot for everyones help.

A few years ago I was having terrible back pain - more then usual. My husband and mom talked me into visiting a chiropractor and he took x-rays and said I have sponylothesis. The x-rays showed my lower spine curved to the left and in that curve there were two vertibres that were out of alignment, the top one wash out in front of the bottom one by about 1/4".

He said I was born that way and it would just get worse as I age. He also said there was nothing he could do about it.

He was right. For the past 4 years I have been sleeping on the couch because the bed makes my back hurt. And I can only do about an hours worth of housework at a time. Also I have gotten to where I can only stand for about 5 minutes then my back starts to hurt. I then have to lean against something or sit down.

Basically, I want to know what the difference between scoliosis and spondylothesis is.

Thanks!

After hearing about SICKO (i havnt seen it) it just makes you wonder why we have to pay for it. If its between life and death, sure there going to save you but then you will die buried in bills. Insurance is becoming unaffordable.

My 2 yr old has 5 cavities. not too sure how he got them, doesn't eat much sweets, brush his teeth...but dentist said soda pop probably done it. my question is: should we do the procedure to get them fixed? they're baby teeth...should we just wait? the procedure will put him to sleep. and they will fix his teeth...but eventually he will lose them. what do i do???

I'm 14, a diabetic, and don't have a cell phone. I also have celiac disease yet still go to my high school football games. I get dropped off. But I have to search for someone with a cell phone all the time to get a ride home. Also, I do walk home from school which is 1 1/2 miles and ride my bike to the baseball fields to play. Sometimes, I do forget glucose tabs and go low. I think a cell phone would be good so I could call my parents when this happens. In one year, this has happened near 20 times. They still won't get me one. My sister got one for her 16th birthday. I have 2 years to get mine and I will be a junior then because I have a July birthday. My sister is a sophomore but has a September birthday. Should i getone for emergencies and convenience.

Ok, so i used to be around 13 stone and ive lost about 2 stone and my body is almost how i want it to be.

But my concern is that during this time ive lost little or no weight from my face, its gonna look pretty dumb having a decent toned body and a chubby face.

Im aware that i cant spot reduce because weight has to be lost equally across the body, but im worried that for some reason im incapable of losing much weight from my face, i'd like to have a chizzeled jawline and all that jazz.

anyone got any ideas as to why im not losing much from my face? coz if i cant im never going to look how i want.

any help would be great. thanks.

My father died August 25 one month before his 59 birthday. How come doctors didn't treat my fathers case seriously? In a month he gained 30lbs had hard time breathing, his diabetes shot up quite high all of a sudden and had phemona.He was rushed hospital they drained liquid from abdomen, had hard time with breathing they put a oxegen mask on him to help him breath, they controlled his diabetes and then sent him home a week later. Still had trouble breathing gained more water, they told him to double then triple his water pills. A week at we had to rush him to the hospital the second time. He was complaining he was so tired went unconcious they performed surgery to take away more water from his heart. Aparently test showed no water origionally then they took more tests and it showed the water. He didn't make it through the surgery his heart stoped. After only 2 hours in the hosptial he passed away. Why did they send him home? I wonder if he would of been saved if they monitered himlonge

I walk my dogs to the bay and back everyday which i would think is about two miles in total. Would it be better to get roller skates or bike ride for longer distances? Which one is more of a workout?

Since my last job, I've been unemployed for two years and this question paralysis me when I think about interviews. I shut down immeidately after scheduling a interview and it's like my mind goes blank and I know I carry this state of mind to the interview with me, which projects bad vibes. The only hope I run with is that maybe this time I'll get lucky and they'll pick me, other then this I feel like a brick wall standing in front of the interviewer .

I have heard that snorting percocets instead of taking them the traditional oral way will do the reverse effect and become uppers rather than downers. Is that true?
