Well here’s a question I just had to answering straight away:
Question: I know they are used for cleaning out a colon before a colonscopy, but these days people say you can loose weight, or jump start a diet or something like that. Is this true? what have you guys heard?
Answer: Doing a colon cleanse for a medical procedure is necessary and the fluid used is prescribed to keep you from losing necessary components, such as potassium and sodium. Doing it try and lose weight is just plain pointless and possible dangerous.
You may lose a few pounds, mostly water weight, but that is it and it does nothing to "jump start" a diet of any kind.
Put quite simply, its not a good idea unless monitored by a licensed physician. Any fool can do them with the right equipment and I sure wouldn’t trust those people.

Well here’s a question I just had to answering straight away:
Question: im fourteen and i weigh 290 ibs. I have started a diet and i need extra tips, what to do and what not to do, what helped you.. Please dont be mean, its hard enough already.
Answer: Don’t starve yourself. It will slow down your metabolism. Start eating healthy. Eat salads with every meal. Drink a half of a gallon of water everyday and don’t drink anything else but water. The water will make you feel energized. Use the energy to exercise. Take your vitamins everyday. Since you’re too young to join the gym, I would go for an exercise dvd. My favorites are by beachbody because they’re fun and they even give you a diet plan and a workout calendar to tell you what to do. Avoid going to the store and if you have to go to the store, make sure that you don’t go when you’re hungry. Get a good night’s sleep. Diet and exercise go hand in hand. Remember that… Hope I helped and good luck

Question: On that show: ‘I used to be fat’ they had this message before the show started: all teens on this show were evaluated by a doctor before filming. please consult your doctor or local health care provider before starting any diet or exercise routine’. and when i started a gym, the pamphlet had the same kind of general message. and the exercise equipment there had the same message. and anything having to do with weight loss, it has that message. but why? i’m trying to myself and i’m fine and i never consulted a doctor. so why should anyone else?
Answer: Protect the producers and owners of gyms from lawsuits. Protects you from injuring yourself because of an undiagnosed illness or problem exacerbated by improper exercise/diet.
What’s this week’s question? Let’s dive straight in…
Question: So I have been running EVERY DAY. At LEAST 1mile. Usually 1-4miles daily depending on my mood. Let me inform yall that I’m 15 , and I weigh 191 . I been on this diet for over 2 1/2 weeks! I eat healthy and run more than needed daily! I check the scale! And yet no progress! I’m still 191! I don’t know what is going on ?! People say I gained it all in weight , others say I’m just getting slimmer! I don’t know ! But I need help from someone who knows. Please? Thank you all! (:
Answer: It takes six weeks to see significant results on a weight loss plan,
even though your body experiences positive cellular and molecular
changes as soon as you begin to eat better and exercise more. You may
only see little changes day to day–but stick with it! It IS working!
After roughly 42 days, those incremental losses will add up to a big,
motivating drop on the scale. In one study of 300 dieters who
exercised 30 minutes daily, those who were overweight or obese lost up
to 16 pounds by the six-week mark. The lesson: Don’t be discouraged if
you fail to see results quickly–your body is busy adjusting to your
changed habits and will produce positive news soon.

What a great weight loss question:
Question: Okay so I’m a bit of an overweight guy… Okay I’ll start with honesty. I’m fat. Fatter than I’d like.
When it comes to losing weight, when I diet, weight just sort of falls off, I’m just lazy and like to eat what I like, so it works against me. So, now with my rugby team in need of me to lose the weight and replace one of our veterans, I’ve got sufficient motivation to lose the weight.
I know how great of a weight loss method running, jogging, and walking are; but is riding a bike a sufficient replacement for that? (and I know, I know. There’s loads of running in rugby.. I’d rather lose the weight then condition. Running while fat blows). I absolutely detest running.
So would a mix of cycling & lots of crunches daily a sufficient replacement for running or jogging? (along with dieting).
Answer: Your proposed strategy of a mix of cycling and lots of crunches daily combined with dieting is very sound and should achieve your objective. Cycling is equally good as as running, jogging, brisk walking and power walking.
This week’s question is a good one. Let’s have a look:
Question: I’m 13 1/2 and I weigh approximately 190 pounds give or take a pound. I want to knoW what the average weight is for kids my age.?

P.E I can manage… I’m allowed to walk whenever I went as pon ad I’m home by a certain time. I have amweight lifting machine thing that works the upper arms/ legs. But the middle is what I have trouble with. Oh, also I don’t run around streets publicly I hav som weird phobia of that sorta thing. Plz help! Thnx!
