Answer 1

To try to increase your metabolism, increase your protein intake, and try to eat 5-6 meals and snacks per day. A great diet is the Six week body makeover diet. It's high in protien, such as; Breakfast 2-3 egg whites, plain oatmeal, 1/2 apple. Lunch a can of tuna (strained in water) on 1/2 head of lettuce w/tomatoes and oil/vinegar or non-fat dressing or 1/2 chicken breast, veggies like brocolli, and 1/2 yam. Dinner can be the same as lunch. In between you'll want to snack on a piece of protien like the grilled chicken, fish or hard boiled egg (just the whites.) For your excercise, get a yoga/pilates tape for some low impact type workouts on the floor. You will still sweat from it and it will raise your heartrate into the fat burning zone. Keep drinking water and lots of it, but it's ok to add Crystal Light to it for flavor. Since you are not working right now, increase your exercise to twice per day. Now don't kill yourself, it took a while for the pounds to come on and it will take time for them to come off. Don't focus so much on the weight as on your general health and how you feel after a good workout. Good luck. (I hope this helped)

Answer 2

Good carbs like celery and carrots will never make you fat. Bad carbs like cake will, but you don't need to know the whole science of glycemic index and load. It is mostly NOT your fault, if you need to lose weight. The way we have been taught to eat is responsible for making obesity the number one health problem in the world (according to Atlantic Monthly magazine) replacing hunger and infectious disease. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin. Not a diet, but diet lifestyle.

Find out about fastest way to lose weight, gradual ways to lose weight, most effective exercise, good and bad carbs and anti-water. Lose bodyfat and retained water which also makes you a lot fatter (bloated). Links page has gov. BMI calculater to find out just how much overweight you are (teens plug in your age to compare to others your age). Get latest info like American Heart Association does not want you to eat more than 6 ounces daily of meat, fish or poultry. Most important-- make sure to read the last "fat loss tip", first before anything else, to see the number one food that causes Americans to be fat.

Answer 4

You should go see an expert in male hormone replacement therapy/ These are endocrinologists who specialize in supplementing hormones in people who have diseases caused by one or more of these being low. In a man, there are three likely candidates:

1. Thyroid - This is a big one in people who gain alot of weight despite having healthy eating habits. It is not enough to simply measure TSH (what most doctors do when they suspect thyroid problems). The reason is that most thyroid problems are the thyroid is putting out plenty of hormone, but the hormone has several isomers (same chemical, different shape). Different isomers have different biological activity. Most people with thyroid problems have plenty of thyroid hormone being produced but its mostly of the form with low biological activity. This is something measured on a special test for it. An EASY test for this is to take your temperature ten minutes before you get out of bed, every day, for a month. Average it out. If it's low, this is likely the problem.

2. Other than thyroid, two other hormones are common culprits. The first is testosterone. A man with low testosterone will gain weight easily and not benefit much from exercise. Exercise will tend to cause injury which is slow to recover. You may see various levels of sexual dysfunction and atrophy of the person's muscles. The person may develop diabetes, especially if he gains alot of weight. Measuring testosterone will feret this out. Supplementing it if it is low will help alot. Also, the herbal, Tongkat Ali will boost your testosterone and is used by alot of people for sexual performance enhancement, weight lifting supplementation and as an herbal treatment for diabetes (large doses of tongkat ali tend to suppress blood sugar levels but only in people where it is abnormally high). In other words, there may be a hormonal link to diabetes, which would account for the effect Tongkat Ali has. Real Tongkat Ali (as opposed to the crap sold by most websites) is kind of a pain to get ahold of. Here is the only good source for it, I know of:

www.tongkatali.org

If you decide to try this, contact these guys by email and ask for the details needed to send them a wire transfer. The exchange rate between the Euro and the US dollar is crappy. If you use the credit card option, it will cost you FAR more than the stated price, after they convert it over for you. This can be avoided by sending them a wire transfer from your bank.

To get an idea of how to use Tongkat Ali, including dosages, read the series of articles on it at this website. Scroll down to the links on Tongkat Ali.

3. The final culprit you should have your doctor investigate is growth hormone deficiency. This is very common in men and can cause problems with weight gain and lack of response to exercise. Again, a hormone test will be able to detect this and supplementing it if that is the problem will help.
