i really need to lose weight. being about 150 pounds and only 5′1”, my doctor and parents both say that i’m overweight and at risk for many diseases. but i just dont know how to go about losing weight! so i need your help.
*i’d like to start off with a detox diet…to get all the bad stuff that’s been accumulating in my body OUT. what’s a good one that i should try? i’ve heard about the lemonade diet, the hollywood diet, etc. but which one??

*after i detox, i’m thinking about starting the south beach diet. does it really work as well as the book claims? can i really lose 14 pounds in 2 weeks?

*i know that every good weight loss plan is a combination of diet AND exercise. i have so much exercise equipment at my house (treadmill, elliptical, bike, bowflex and free weights) but i dont know where to start. what exercises should i do? how long should my workouts be?

*finally, i’d really like to tone up my stomach/thighs/butt. there’s too much fat/cellulite and its sick. what exercises will help with this?

*is it true that there are negative calorie foods? if so, what are some examples?

*any other tips???

thanks in advance. you are loved.

Detox diets are both ineffective and incredibly unhealthy. Think about it: our bodies need many different nutrients, from vitamin A to zinc, and just drinking lemonade, even for only a couple of weeks, puts you at serious risk for vitamin deficiency. You could develop a thyroid problem, anemia, or any number of countless other problems. What bad things are you planning to "take out" of your body? Fats? Cholesterol? These can just be limited in what you eat in a normal, healthy way. Think of all the critical things that won’t be coming IN if you just don’t eat.

If you don’t suffer from a vitamin deficiency, your metabolism will still be incredibly messed up. It will go into starvation mode, and after you switch back to a normal eating schedule, you’ll balloon back up again. The whole process isn’t worth it. Remember how big the Atkins diet was? Where did it go? It disappeared for this very reason- no carbohydrates made their bodies starve, and they gained all the weight back later.

I don’t know enough about the South Beach to comment, but always be wary of these solutions- remember, companies are trying to make profits.

Other points:

You’re right, exercise is very important. You should try something like twenty minutes of cardiovascular activity three times a week. I mean things like running, jogging, or rowing- not free weights, unless you’re looking to gain some muscle.

No, there are no negative calorie foods. Celery is debatable because of how little is actually in it besides fiber- that is, your chewing may make up for the calories in it- but you might as well just use that time to exercise and eat something you actually like later.

Basically, don’t fall for the idea that there are magic tricks to losing weight. It’s a process- if you want to lose weight, you have to eat healthier overall- follow the food pyramid, and avoid eating too much of things that are obviously bad. Exercise regularly, get enough nutrients- you probably already know all this. Just apply it to your life.

I was injured very badly about 5 years ago with my knee. I don’t remember how long, but it took forever to heal. I was on serious pain pills. In Canada it can take a year just to see a specialist and by the time it was my turn, I felt I was healed.

Well the other day, in the rain, I was getting a toddler out of my car awkwardly because there was no room between the cars and the same knee went swinging out the same way as the first time.

I didn’t really notice it much at first but by the end of the day my knee/leg was 3x swollen…I mean it was huge! Impossible to bend it. Tons of pain when on it. Very irritable because I was trying to keep doing the norm. Had to use cane to keep weight off as much as possible and since it was a weekend, just stayed off it. Tons of ice and Motrin.

It has had popping sounds, very painful if I am on it or have to get up and down or go up and down stairs.

I went to physiotherapist and she figures it is torn ACL or cartilage but is seeing me in 2 days to see how it is…also recommending my physician send me to surgeon.

I had plans to go on Vacation with friends in July to the beach, and they wanted me to help with child care for little ones…where I am definitely needed to be flexible and up and down and ready to go. They need to know if I am not able to perform, or go on vacation with them. They are now concerned I will even be able to work for good now.

I’m like..how do I know how long it will take to heal?

I’m worried now and wonder if this sounds as serious as it could possibly be?

I am also overweight and was just starting on a fitness routine when this happened…can I eventually exercise enough to get in shape w/o hurting knee?

Thank you for your patience in reading my question.
The main part of the question was….approx how long can this take to heal if I don’t have surgery? Any ideas?

i suggest an eliptical machine for getting back in shape, takes the stress off of your supporting tissue and is low impact.
meninscus damage really only occurs from high impact. i.e. jumping out of a second story window and landing on your feet. its your knees air bags so to speak. it can get injured by a non high impact source, but it takes a lot to tear one of those. which direction did your knee go swinging out? any direction can injure the ACL, but depend ing on the direction it could be another ligament or 2.
really you need a doctor to do a few special tests on you to determine whats what. you can be pretty sure that it is not a complete tear atleast, if it was you would not be able to move your knee.

Min. Sylvester Dixon III: Born January 4, 1973 to Sylvester Jr. and Lois Dixon. Sylvester grew up on the streets of Long Beach California. He began amateur boxing when he was 8 years old at the Williams (Jeremy Williams) Gym in Long Beach. His dad was his trainer. Sylvester won many fights including the golden gloves and the blue and golden gloves. Both his dad and mom encouraged him to stay out of gangs and follow God. But, being a rebel at the age of 12 he was put on and became a gang member of Suicidal Town Crips on the east side of Long Beach. It was then he was nicknamed Scrap Dog, due to his boxing ability. At the age of 13 he found himself in jail for shooting at a cop. Over the next ten years Sylvester spent a total of 6 1/2 years in California State Penitentiaries. That’s not including County Jail time. Sylvester had four cases in which he faced life in prison without the possibility of parole. Sylvester’s mom Lois continued to pray for him. She would also have him attend church services with her when he was on the streets. It was during his last stay in prison when he finally realized it was God who was keeping him. He began to seek God. Sylvester started reading his bible, praying and fasting. He gave his life to God and asked God to get him out of prison. Sylvester became devoted in his walk for the Lord. While sitting in his cell praying he became filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak in tongues. He knew he had a work to do for the Lord. He asked God to allow him to be able to use his passion for rap to reach people. To let people know that no matter where you’re at in life God will be there with you. God told him he was to rap for Him. Sylvester has been rapping for God every since. Once released from prison Sylvester began to witness on the streets. He became an Ordained Minister and went to Juvenile Halls and ministered to the youth. He also councils other gangstas and thugs that are still within the gangs, letting them know that Jesus loves them and He can reach them where they are. Sylvester has been all over rapping for the Lord. From California to Canada, he’s been reaching souls through Gangsta Gospel Rap. His music lets people know that Jesus is the way and all things are possible in Christ.

hey. i’m 16 years old, about 5′1” and around 146 pounds. i’m going to start eating healthier (south beach phase 1), but i don’t know what to do for my workout. i have access to a treadmill, elliptical, stair climber-ish thing, bowflex, free weights, and when the weather gets a little warmer i can also walk or ride my bike around the neighborhood.

so yeah…what kinds of exercises should i do? how long should my workouts last? how many days per week?

thanks in advance. you are loved.

about 6 months ago, i was put into hospital twice and underwent a lot of therpay, so i was unable to exercise for a long time. i used to be one of the fittest people i know, now i cant even run for longer than five minutes! its really annoying me! please help design me a days worth of exercising to get fitter. please, please, please!!!!!!!!

ps: i am unable to join a join at the moment, i do have a treadmill and trampoline but prefer exercising outdoors. (beach, park, etc)

hey ladycadillac howsit!

my mum had something similar not long ago. 3 months in hospital and she lost a massive amount of muscle mass and had to go to rehab (no no no) to get her walking again. Maybe this is too basic for ya but it will prob help

The rehab place got her doing repetetive stuff. stairs were on the list and they helped her big time – muscular and cardio. Doing quad lifts and basic bicep and tricep exercises.

squats were a bit too hard for her but maybe be good for you. press ups against a wall too – you can move your legs beck and forward depending on how hard you want to go.

hope that helps
