round tummy problem?

Answer 1

Two choices, pregnant or fat. If pregnant, should go away in a few months. If fat, read this... all of it.

Losing weight really is as simple as basic addition and subtraction. If the calories you eat add up to more than what you burn in a given time period, you will gain weight. Conversely, if you eat fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight. Depending on your size and activity level, the number of calories will vary quite a bit. The secret is finding your “break even” calorie intake level. For most people, the “ball park” figure will be around 1800 to 2000 calories per day. If you are larger than average, this number will be higher, lower if you are smaller than average. Metabolic rate can have an effect on these numbers as well. Exercise plays an important role also, as this can increase the number of calories you burn by quite a bit as well as increasing your metabolic rate.

If you want a generally healthy diet that’s easy to follow and avoids hunger, the one I recommend will do the job very well. You can fill up and still lose weight. Eat lots of fresh vegetables as they contain very few calories yet are full of good nutrition. The less you cook them, the more nutrition they retain. Stick with whole grains, as they tend to be better for you and don’t turn to sugar as readily as processed grains do. For example, whole grain bread is much better for you than plain white bread. Eat a variety of fruit on a daily basis. Avoid empty carbs, fats, and sugars…. Examples: junk food and soda. If you feel you need protein to build muscle, add some chicken or fish to your diet. Avoid beef and dairy products, the cons outweigh the pros.

If you can’t get your mind into the ‘eat to live; don’t live to eat mode‘, you should probably read this short article on the psychology behind overeating:

Answer 2

There are actually more than 3 choices.

If you're pregnant, call your docotr and start reading up on pregnancy http://familydoctor.org/alpha_results.xml?letter=P (scroll down through the entries starting with the letter "P" until you see several Q&A's on pregnancy. Then call your doctor.

If you're overweight then the links provided abaove are helpful. If you'relooking for just a little less reading, you might want to ease into first with http://familydoctor.org/788.xml.

The third possibility is one that would be picked up only by those who know about it. I certainly hope that this does not describe you. Liver failure (from myriad causes) can cause "ascites" or fluid collection in the abdomen. This is fluid, not fat, not fetus. It is a sign of a serious medical problem and you should seeek urgent medical attention..

Another possibility is bloating. Bloating can be caused by cyclic changes in women's monthly cycles. Guys and girls can get bloated from minor intestinal infections or from a radical change in their diet (e.g. someone who rarely eats baked beans eats a whole can -- he'll be bloated with a round tummy for sure)

Hope this helps.
