Best weight loss diet for busy vegetarian mom?

I am a busy young mom with 3 kids, ages 3, 2, and 4 months. I have gained a lot of weight in my pregnancies and would like to lose about 80 pounds. I want to lose it slowly and healthfully. I do not have the time or money to join a gym, and do not have the child care. Also, I can not afford to buy any exercise equipment or expensive pills/gadgets etc. What are some healthy diet plans that are vegetarian friendly, and what are good exercises for targeting belly fat. PS-I do not need to hear "eat less exercise more." I need specific routines and referrals to eating plans that work for my lifestyle. I also need to know what kind of exercises to do and when/how to do them, plus some healthy foods that will satisfy my sweet tooth. Thanks!
I forgot to say that I am also allergic to wheat.

Im writing a healthy eating article?

Im doing a project in language arts and me and my group have to make a magazine. So Im in charge of making a section about healthy living. Ive done an article about fitting healthy habits in your schedule, Ive done one on a true story on a girl that was extremely obese and lost the weight. Now I have to make one on the whole controversy over how some people think that its mcdonalds fault for obesity.

I think its the choice to eat there that makes them fat…. but not the point. I was wondering if there are some certain facts I should put in now or if i should include something on that page to make it more catchy? The question doesnt make much sense but its kinda hard for me to explain.

Hi, i dont know the facts, but here you may find articles with pictures about healthy living, eating habits, american diets and similar stuff. I believe it could help you on the whole matter. http://www.jurgita.com/articles.php Also you may submit your article in the same category if you are interested in some critique or just publishing it on the net. If you will collect many useful information, than it should be accessible for many people :) Anyway, good luck with your writing.

What is a prescribed diet for a post-cerebrovascular accident / stroke patient?

like what specific nutrients they really need to recover or prevent reccurrence of stroke…

You may be eating plenty of food, but your body may not be getting the nutrients it needs to be healthy. Nutrient-rich foods have vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients but are lower in calories. To get the nutrients you need, choose foods like vegetables, fruits, whole-grain products and fat-free or low-fat dairy products most often. more

Vegetables and fruits are high in vitamins, minerals and fiber — and they’re low in calories. Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables may help you control your weight and your blood pressure.

Unrefined whole-grain foods contain fiber that can help lower your blood cholesterol and help you feel full, which may help you manage your weight.

Eat fish at least twice a week. Recent research shows that eating oily fish containing omega-3 fatty acids (for example, salmon, trout, and herring) may help lower your risk of death from coronary artery disease.

Anybody out there controlling Rheumatoid Arthritis with diet alone?

I’ve read a couple instances on the internet where people have gone into remission using food alone. I’m just wondering if anyone else out there has been able to do this. If you have, can you leave a way for me to contact you? I’d be much obliged.

I can’t have drugs as I am allergic to them, and so have to control my RA and I have OA and osteoarthritis with food and diet also I use aromatherapy, massage, healing etc.

I then qualfied in complementary medicine and though I have had RA and OA since 1982, when it was first diagnosed I am not too badly deformed.

I do have a lot of trouble walking and am in pain a lot but as I have said I can’t have drugs only half a paracetamol every four hours at the most.

If you would like to email me I will send details and help where I can.

Is there a good Weight-Loss Diet program for Type I Diabetics?

I am a 23-year-old Type I diabetic, and though not overweight, I would like to lose a few unneeded pounds. As you may know, the use of insulin often negates weight-loss efforts, and I have struggled for some time now to get back to my "ideal" weight. If anyone can recommend a good diet program or even throw out some suggestions of how to combat this problem, it would be greatly appreciated!!

Even type 2s on insulin have a very hard time keeping unwanted pounds off. I was the original skinny minny when the doctor decided I needed to take insulin injections along with my oral meds.

I follow the South Beach phase 2 food plan. I follow it pretty religiously too. and have for the best part of 10 years because it is very low carb and you can tailor it to fit your needs.

Contrary to popular opinion, it and Atkins are NOT high fat or high protein food plans!!! They have sensible serving sizes and the choice of foods is great. You do not HAVE to buy specialty foods on either one.

If you eat sufficient saturated fats and sufficient protein, you will be fuller faster so more sated and not want or need as much of the carb stuff.

This study was with type 2 people, but same works for type 1.

Just count carbs very carefully, medicate only enough, and get movin!!!

congestive heart failure from retaining water?

How do I keep someone with congestive heart failure from retaining water? We follow a low salt diet, take lasix and potassium.

Your question: "How do I keep someone with congestive heart failure from retaining water…?"

When you say, "how do I…" that is, meaning you?

Well, you go to medical school, finish your residency, and do a fellowship in cardiology, become board certified, then examine the patient. Based on your education and experience, you treat the patient accordingly. Reevaluate the patient every few months just in case the condition changed.

Failing that, you find a board certified cardiologist, and have him or her examine the patient. Based on his or her education and experience, they will treat the patient accordingly. They will reevaluate the patient every few months just in case the condition changed.

I’m not trying to insult you, but rather to make you realize the depth of the question that you’re trying to ask. The other respondents are indeed right. You need to bring the patient to a qualified doctor and do all your question asking there. Its one thing to get on the internet and ask about the side effects of medications; its quite another to solicit treatment modalities. That is something that only the patient’s doctor is qualified to answer.

Good luck.

Just looking for tools that people find helpful. The reasoning behind them is pretty straight forward.

What is a good healthy eating plan for a teenage girl?

I am happy with my size at the moment but i think i could be healthier, i dont want to go on one of those diets and loose heaps of weight, i just want to have a healthy body. Are there any simple sugestions to help me keep on track with my healthy eating?
I am turning 15.

A healthy diet is easy to say but hard to stick with.

·It is important to maintain a good diet so you don’t compromise your health. Damage done because of lack of nutrition is not worth a nice body. Some diet damage cannot be fixed.
·
·When you deprive your brain,(your brain craves sugar) the brain will take other body cells to convert to the elements that it needs. And the cells it takes are BRAIN cells. OOPS. I don’t want to lose brain cells to have thin legs. But I would like to have both.

DECIDE TO MAKE A LIFE CHANGE TO A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE.

1) fruits and veggies, all you want, organic, raw, vine-ripe if possible. Steamed is OK, sautéed is OK even canned or frozen is OK, but lots of them.
2) limited or no meat. Read Dr. Campbell’s book “the China Study”
3) nothing fried-saute with some olive oil, extra virgin(from first pressing)
4) no FAST FOOD- is junk, no nutrition, empty calories
5) NO PROCESSED FOOD. if you can’t pronounce it don’t eat it.
6) nothing white, salt, sugar, mayo, milk, (or at least in moderation.
7) NO DAIRY-dairy is great for baby cows, your body does not even digest it properly. And is loaded with pus and bacteria check out www.notmilk.com
8) EXERCISE- and be sure to refresh your body with water and fresh fruit
9) NO PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS. Muscle is made from water, replace the water. You get enough protein from the food you eat, You get more protein from spinach than the supplements you take and your body does not get toxic on food protein the way it will with supplements. Supplements can really tax you liver.
10) Good supplement would be Omega 3, and Juice Plus+

11) NO CARBONATED DRINKS, or at least limited. They actually dissolve the calcium in your bones.
12) Calories in calories out.

AND DON’T GO NUTS, MODERATION.
