I’m asking this question because I’m concerned about my girlfriend. She seems to live off milk and yogurt. If we go out for a meal she’ll have a salad or nothing. She does enjoy food but Shes concerned about her weight and shape (she’s not fat or bulky-she’s about 52kgs and about 5ft 5, therefore healthy bmi).
A normal breakfast for her is about 400-600mls of milk (skimmed) or a herbal tea. She may have part of my lunch, like a bite of a sandwich or the crust of a pizza- just something to take off the edge. But that’s about it food wise. She would then move on to milk for the rest of the day. She can consume about 4 litres of milk in 2 or 3 days. Occasionally if she’s feeling exceptionally hungry she will have a sandwich, or a salad, or tomato and onion soup, or some fruit. But most of the time these servings are similar to that of a desert or a starter. She has also recently started fasting every Saturday for religious reasons-which I don’t think would be good for someone with such a poor diet.
On top of all this, she likes to exercise every day. She always gets in stomach crunches, and various stretches and mild resistance exercise, and goes to the gym most days as well, where she will go on the bike and crosstrainer mainly.
The problem is that she wants to lose weight and she isn’t doing with the diet that she’s on, and with the exercise she’s doing, but I can’t understand why she’s not anorexic to be honest, nor can I explain anything about it to her. What sort of damage is she doing herself? She has low carbohydrate and low protein intake from what I can tell. She does admit that she has a problem and she knows that the way that she eats and thinks of food is wrong, but she doesn’t want to help herself. I know going to a doctor is the obvious solution, and she knows this too, but she never gets round to it. She has also admitted she may need to speak to a psychiatrist or something. Right now my main concern is what damage is she doing? Thanks for any advice I receive. Mark

breakfast: scrambled eggs with bacon or cereal with milk and a sip of coffee.

snack: 5 cheezballs, chips, cookies or biscuits & cheese

drink: horlicks (its a barley and malt nourishing drink) with whole milk.

dinner: whatever we’re having (either chinese takeout or pizza or veggie casserole). Sometimes we just feed the dog cooked white rice with tea (her fave)

She’s a large lab mix, if it makes a difference.
but he doesn’t feed it a lot of snacks and dessert. and my dog hates kibble!
everyone says my dog is going to die at 7, but my male mix who is fed the same is alive at 14.

Ok, I see so many freaking advertisements, and I’m kinda tired of them.

"Wanna know how to lose weight, buy my book for 100 bux." It’s like… why?

I don’t exercise much, and I’m of average weight, I don’t do diets, I tend to eat whenever I’m hungry, I just have these love handle-ish things I don’t like. I don’t want to even attempting to do sit ups. Is there some type of standing exercise or activity I can do to keep that mid section fit… that doesn’t involve me wasting an hour, drinking/eating shit I don’t like, and getting sweaty and disgusting? I would usually swim, but I don’t have a pool, and im scared to mix relaxed hair with chlorine >_> SO yeah… any suggestions? I’m not looking to become a body builder, I’m looking to maintain my current figure till I die!!!

Oh yeah I don’t consume alcohol, don’t smoke, and my main drink of choice is iced tea. Sadly do eat pizza often/chinese food, I’ll probably need to cut that down a little, but I’m perfectly capable to make myself chicken and some spinach or whatever.

goal: to find what foods trigger my acne
full diet: Yes:lots of water,meat, veggies, fruit (except citrus), herbal/decaf tea, eggs, bread, olive oil
No: enriched/refined flour, trans fats, dairy, coffee, white potatoes, pizza, sugar/candy
Sometimes: dark chocolate, decaf coffee, honey, butter, heavy cream, almonds
Should I go on the full diet all at once? Or remove one aspect from my diet (such as dairy products) and see how things go?
henry, you are so fake.

Overall am starting to eat a healthy diet with lots of fiber, fruits and veggies, some fish, portioned meats, no sodas, vitamin supps, lots of green tea and water, low salts,sugars, and trans fat. I know I can have rare cheat meals but if i stay within the limits say within 20 g of saturated fat and a 2000 calorie diet; is it ok to eat 2 slices of pizza or chinese for dinner but eat good throughout the day and excercise as well.

I asked this in the afternoon but didn’t get as much as answers as my mind would like.

I ate healthy as can be but then I hit 30 weeks and my diet has been cruddy. Not horrible but for instance, today was -cereal, pistachios, pizza, milk, water, and chinese food….
Ive been eating more junk and soda/tea than ever.

Anyone else’s diet just go haywire in late pregnancy? Any suggestions on how to get it back to a somewhat decent state? lol

I’m talking about authentic food, not Wong’s takeout, Ray’s Pizza, or Taco bell…I mean, you always see these people having relatives who eat their food live up to be very old…but which is the healthiest in your opinion?

(correct me if i’m wrong on these)

Chinese: heavy use of vegetables (meat is usually not the main course) and some fish. Green tea, ginger, and rice all consumed regularly. Diary not very popular.

Italian: lots of tomatoes in food which boosts immunity, fish, diary for strong bones from chesses/milk, wine

Mexican: …beans? i dunno much about authentic mexican food…but it seems healthy doesnt it?
