Q. Whenever I eat meat or think about it I start to feel sick. I can tolerate hamburgers and fish but anything else digusts me, I don't know why. Does this happen to anyone else? Should I go vegetarian? I used to be for a few months. It's just hard cause whenever my family cooks dinner there's meat and I don't know what else to have...
Answer
Just have all the other dishes and skip the meat. If your family cooks traditional healthy dinners there should be vegetables and salads which you can eat. If you get hungry between meals, eat fresh fruit and nuts - they are very nutritious and need no preparation.
You don't need meat, and maybe your body is also less tolerant and is trying to warn you. Maybe you can sometimes cook for your family. It might motivate them to become vegetarian too. It's much better for your health and for the planet. Watch this video to see why:

Edit: Someone said 'Ask your doctor'. It's not even necessary. Here's what dietitians say:
It is the position of the American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada that appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. ... Well-planned vegan and other types of vegetarian diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including during pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence. Vegetarian diets offer a number of nutritional benefits, including lower levels of saturated fat, cholesterol, and animal protein as well as higher levels of carbohydrates, fibre, magnesium, potassium, folate, and antioxidants such as vitamins C and E and phytochemicals."
The only supplement you need is vitamin B12.

I want to loose 20 puonds in 2 months is there any remedies besides exercise and dieting?
Hello everyone!
I had a baby a year and a half ago and after the birth I gained 20 pounds over of what I had gained during the pregnancy. I have tried diet pills, exercising, liquid diet with only one meal a day and nothing works in matter of fact I think I just gained 5 pounds in the last 2 weeks. I have always had a big behind and thick legs to go with it and it did look cute but its not looking cute if theres a gut to with it. With the first kid it was easy to loose the weight. I honestly dont know what else to do.
Please does anyone know of any home remedies that i could use that actualy works?
Thanks.
oops! I just noticed I spelled pounds wrong. Thanks to that guy..
Answer
First, make sure that you are healthy, no diabetes, no heart stuff, and check to see what you should weigh for your bone structure, height, AND family genes (which are important). Some women never get rid of that extra 10 to 20 lbs., others can eat you out of house and home and never put on a pound.
Worrying about weight actually makes you think about food more. The word "diet" is a bad word too. Eating right is the only way. LOTS of quick diets only last a quick time. You can lose a lot of water with pills, but your body needs a lot of water to lose weight.
Our family is Native American and Scotch and Sephardic. Weight is easy for us to put on. My sister found it easier with doc's help to eat 6 smaller meals each day. Kept to 1200 to 1500 calories daily with 2 glasses of water with each meal. She lost 15 lbs. first month, 10 the second and 5 the third. She added more carbs the 2nd and 3rd month and it made a difference. So she cut out white sugar, white flour and corn, potatoes (kept the sweet), rice, but eats brown, uses grapeseed oil and walnut oil. She feels a lot better and some months hardly looses, but the weight has shifted, has more muscle then fat, but muscle weights more, so she bikes with her kids and hates running, but like roller skating. You don't have to over do it, live. You have kids and the time is short. You marriage needs work too, not just your body and if you can make good looking low fat carb, meals romantic, or picnics, with husband, isn't his view important?
So lots of high fiber salads, like with turkey, chicken pea pods, spinach, peppers, onions, scallions, mushrooms, gluten free muffins (yes, you can have muffins, breads and even cookies, low carb). My sister takes a few hours off at night to fix a weeks worth of cooked mushrooms, peppers, onions, and other ingredients and freezes into individual packets to thaw and heat when mixing with other stuff. She also has yogurt and 1/2 banana for breakfast, midmorning a gluten-free cookie and green hot tea, lunch vegetable soup with brown bread (gluten free), and ice tea, mid afternoon, fruit with fish or meat salad or just a fruit salad with cottage cheese, dinner a hot meal with hubbie, before bed, muffin or 1/2 a low carb sand., or gluten crackers with cashew butter and 1/2 glass of low fat milk ...
Sometimes she makes low fat ice cream with real fruit, or a smoothie with tofu. There are so many good recipes on line that take little time to make. You will lose slowly if you eat well and drink water and be involved in family, your mental and physical health is so important. Gut someones will get smaller, but nothing like situps to tone you, but biking will help, otherwise look at your children and if you had a choice we all would grow older gracefully with them and stay as healthy as long as possible. Good Luck.
