I am asking for my daughter she is currently only seventeen , and has struggled with weight her whole life. She has tryed everything, now just wondering which diet pill is best to aid her in her quest of a healthy weight. Please do not answer with diet and exercise as the only way to go , i know that people say there are risks and i understand that.
A: Please do not let your daughter take diet pills. That will be the worst decision. I have tried at least 10 different ones and none of them worked. They just made me very sick and miserable.
If you can afford it then enroll her to a weight watchers class.

Try to keep calories at 1,500. Doctor says thats the best for my weight and body type and height if I want to lose weight/stay healthy. Am trying to avoid too much sugar and carbs. Will eat them, but not many!
A: When you are cooking instead of using sugar use artificial sweeteners.
I bought a Diabetes's Cookbook for the same reason as you.
Q: Can diet coke stop your heart beating if you are malnutritioned?
I am in a bit of financial trouble at the moment and dont have a lot of money for food. I have hardly eaten in 2 weeks, just a few bits of bread and cheese mainly.
My dad came over and i asked him for some money to buy food, he said he didnt have any money, but i could take what he had in his car. I found a few old muslie bars and some cans of diet coke. I already ate the muslie bars, but i havent touched the diet cokes yet.
My friend told me that if you are malnutritioned that drinking diet coke can stop your heart beating. Could this be true?
A: I have never heard of that
but more importantly if you are in Australia go to
Salvation Army they wont let you go hungry you poor thing
Go to a Charity no matter where you live & get some food
& whats wrong with your dad that he would let you go hungry
Q: Is it true diet coke or diet pepsi is not good for your bones?
My mother told me the other day to stop drinking so much diet coke and diet pepsi. I'm 21 years old. It is my favorite beverage and I drink diet coke's or diet pepsi's about once a day. I usually have three or four diet cokes or diet pepsi's once a day. My mom said it is not good for my bones. Is what my mom told me is it true? Is diet coke or diet pepsi bad for your bones?
A: Yes, but it isn't the caffeine, it's the carbon dioxide. Drink a few glasses of low-fat or non-fat milk a day instead, and maybe cut back to just one can of soda a day. Don't overdo it on the milk, though, as that can be bad for you as well. Usually a lot of any one thing isn't good for you.
If you are lactose intolerant, then you can always try drinking soy-milk with vitamin D and calcium added.
Q: What are the chemicals in diet soda that make diet soda bad for you?
I'm looking at waist watchers brand soda, and none of them appear to have Phenylalanine or Aspartame, which i hear is pretty bad for you. But it still has artificial sweetener, splenda. Is waist watchers more healthy then other types of diet sodas?
A: People who drink diet soft drinks don't lose weight.
Q: What is the difference between the slimfast diet and the cambridge diet?
I want to do 3 slimfast meals a day (no evening meal), isn't that like the cambridge diet or lighter life diet? It works because you don't have to think about food at all.
A: My sister tried Slimfast and lost a little weight but she couldn't afford the food/drinks. She went on a low carb diet called Kimkins and lost 70 lbs. in 5 months. It's like Atkins but cheaper.
Q: Whats the difference between BARF diet and raw prey model diet?
People are always saying raw meaty bones and whole prey is better than the BARF diet. Isn't barf raw too? People say BARF is expensive. Is that the only difference?
A: BARF = Biologically Appropriate Raw Food
So a raw prey model diet would fall into the BARF category. If you're feeding a BARF diet to a cat, it does NOT include grains or other foods that cats are not designed to digest, as they are obligate carnivores.
Q: What is the diet of a high milage runner?
I am training someone to run, what is the diet of a runner?
We are putting in around 50 miles a week. I know diet is important but I don't know how or what one should eat? I am afraid this is my weak link and I need help. Running these miles leave very little time for any thing but running, eating and sleeping. I think diet might make a difference and open up more time for other things. Where can I go to find the proper diet, amount of calories , and what foods to eat?
A: lean protein and complex hi fiber carbs. Always eat a combination of protein and carbs following a run to aid your muscles in repair. Bananas are good to build potassium levels.
Attached is an article from Runners World on Nutrition for a runner. I hope it helps

Q: What Is The Best Online Diet Program?
I need to lose about 25 pounds this year and I'm planning on starting a new diet program. I've been looking around at some of the diets available online and I'm wondering if anyone has had success (or not) with any of them?
A: I think it has to be The Day Off Diet and I don't only say that because it worked for me, I also just think it's the diet that will most likely work the best for anyone else too. And it's just got the coolest features of any diet I've ever tried. The "day off" really does make the diet easier to follow because you always have that day to look forward to every week. And it's amazing how taking the "day off" actually made my weight loss speed up. So yeah, I'm definitely glad I found The Day Off Diet last summer.
Q: What is the best solid diet for a rainbow lorikeet?
We have a 7 year old rainbow lorikeet, she is on a nectar diet, some pellets for rainbows and fresh fruit and vegetables, I want to know a healthier solid diet I can put her on to avoid the mess they make?
A: Harrison's Pellets are the best. Even the famous African Grey, Alex, is fed Harrisons's. It is a high quality pelleted food and has little waste involved if fed by the instructions. The staff is friendly and is available by phone to answer questions. It is organic, as all bird foods should be, since they are highly sensitive to pesticides. Good Luck with your Lorikeet.
The below info is from the Harrison's web site, which I also listed below.
How to Keep Your Lorie Healthy, Happy and Safe!
Give lots of attention. Feed a fresh, high quality, pesticide-free diet formulated, like Harrison's Fine Grind products and add a little sweetner specifically for lories. Limit supplementation to pesticide-free fruits or vegetables.Do not offer a source of grit. Provide clean, fresh, uncontaminated water (try using water bottles). Remove and replace food and water containers twice daily to maximize activity in a healthy bird. Provide clean water for bathing.
