2. QUESTION:
   What is the best diet for women in their sixties?
   After menopause, most women have a heck of a time losing. Other than the acaia diet, what options are there?

   • ANSWER:
     Choose something that you will be able to stick with as a new permanent lifestyle. Check out the concepts of the Okinawan Program or the Mediterranean Diet. Veggies, fruits, whole grains and healthy fats. It's good for anyone at any age. You'll feel more energetic, the weight will come off at a good rate, you never have to be hungry and you can get creative in making or ordering delicious healthy choices. You can even do this if you don't have much time for cooking (crock pot, quick stir fry meals, dress up your salads with a variety of veggies and fruits, and there are even some good prepacked choices available now - be sure to read the labels). Attitude is more than half the battle. Get excited about your decision to be healthy, replace your poor habits with good ones that you enjoy and you'll be off to a good start. A 20-30 minute vigorous walk most days of the week will really help too. Good luck

4. QUESTION:
   How can I make the abs diet for women work with no meat?
   Now if you havn't read the book, it's not a diet. It's a lifestyle change. Although, it is high in protein. And one of the 12 power foods is lean meat but the only meat I eat is chicken, and so I need some alternatives to meat. Seeing as though I can't have that all day long! haha.

   • ANSWER:
     Since you are a women you can substitute soy protein foods for some of the meat. meat substitute foods made with soy or TVP are fine. You just want to avoid the carbs so look at the labels. Tofu, since it is fermented soy, is OK for men and women.
     Read the book and other info you will find that whole milk concentrates like full fat cottage cheese is good, low carbs, high protein and useful fat.
     All fowl is good and fish is great. If you are of child bearing age go towards smaller cold water fish like sardines and anchovies or wild salmon and herrings (they have less to no mercury).

5. QUESTION:
   Do anyone know of a good and realistic diet for women with PCOS that's trying to lose weight ?

   • ANSWER:
     There's only ONE WAY to lose fat - and that is to create a calorie deficit. However, there are two ways to create a calorie deficit - one is to decrease your food intake so you are eating less than you burn, the other is to increase your exercise and activity so you are burning more than you eat.

     Of the two ways to create a calorie deficit, burning the fat is far superior to starving it. You see, cutting calories too much causes weight loss at first, but it also causes muscle loss and it eventually leads to a decrease in metabolism, so the weight loss stops. This is very common on conventional diets, right? You lose weight in the beginning, but then you hit a plateau that you just can't break through. Cutting calories even more at this point only digs you even into a deeper "metabolic hole."

     Eating more of the right foods (up to a certain point) actually increases your metabolic "heat" like putting wood on a fire. Food is energy; food is fuel, and it produces (metabolic) heat.

     Exercise burns calories and creates a calorie deficit, but the real advantage of exercise over diet is that exercise increases your metabolism, dieting slows it down. Exercise also has major health benefits, while starvation can only create health problems.

     So if you eat more (healthy foods) and exercise more, you get a double increase in metabolism. If you eat less and exercise less you get a double decrease in metabolism. That makes complete sense doesn't it?

     The IDEAL exercise program for fat loss has a combination of cardiovascular (aerobic) training and strength training. But ultimately, you're not likely to stick with exercise long term unless you choose activities you enjoy - so pick something you enjoy, even if it doesn't follow the guidelines of "traditional" fat loss programs. It's better to do something than nothing, and all exercise counts.

     Some people may have orthopedic problems which limit the type of exercise they can do. But nearly everyone can walk. So if you can walk, then walk. And almost everyone can do some type of strength training. Instead of focusing on what you can't do or what you don't like to do, direct your attention to what you CAN do and what you would like to do.

     Maybe you don't like being couped up inside all the time. Maybe you'd prefer hiking or jogging outside. Or maybe boxing or martial arts sounds cool to you. Maybe you like basketball or tennis. Maybe you'd enjoy classes, or yoga or pilates. Your options are nearly unlimited, but you have to do something or your body will begin to deteriorate.

     As you increase your lean muscle mass, you'll also get a permanent increase in your resting metabolic rate. Muscle is what drives your metabolism, keeps you young and makes you look more physically attractive. Others will notice how good you look, and you'll feel better about yourself too. Yes, you may lose weight from diet alone, but you're likely to end up a "skinny fat person" with a slow metabolism and very little lean body mass (not to mention, you'll probably gain back all the fat)

     Last, but not least, be careful what you say to yourself over and over because that tends to program your subconscious mind and create your self image. If you've been repeating to yourself for years, "I'm not big on exercise" or "I'm not an exercise person", that eventually becomes a part of your identity. You always tend to behave in alignment with your identity in order to stay "true to yourself."

     Maybe when you look in the mirror after just a few weeks and see your body start to change you'll begin to like enjoy exercise a LOT. It can get addictive, you know. The endorphins that are released when you exercise are like opiates. Ever hear of "runners HIGH?" Ever hear of an "exercise addict?" What would YOU rather be hooked on? Forget about popping pills, Your body is the most exquisite pharmacy on the planet. Exercise is a better fat burner, health creator, energy producer and anti-depressant than any man-made drug will EVER be. Exercise can be fun and FEEL GOOD too.

     Human beings were meant to move. Bodies don't lose their function by being used too much and "wearing out", they lose their function by not being used enough and "rusting out." So if the positive benefits of exercise don't motivate you enough, then just picture yourself 10, 20 years from now and imagine what will happen to you if you DON'T start exercising today.

6. QUESTION:
   what's a good diet for women who are trying to get toned?
   I'm trying to get my body toned up before summer and I know that it's not possible without dieting. I'm not fat or anything I just don't have any tone to my body. So I was wondering what a good diet is in order for this to happen?

   • ANSWER:

7. QUESTION:
   Low carb diets for women? Are there any women who have done the low carb diet and it worked for them?
   I need to lose 30 pound of baby weight fast. My husband did the diet and lost 15 pounds in 3 weeks. I wasn't sure if it worked for women. Any advice? What was your experience?

   • ANSWER:
     I did the South Beach diet and lost about 7 pounds the first two weeks. It works for both men and women, and the amount of weight you lose depends entirely on how much you need to lose in the first place. If you don't need to lose as much as your hubby, you won't lose as much as he did in the first few weeks. Don't dispair though. Men tend to lose weight more quickly than women because they have a larger muscle mass, and muscles help to burn fat faster. That's why it's super important to do both cardio and weights when trying to lose weight.

     Ahem, back to the diet, it does work for women too. The reason being is carbs have a tendency to increase your insulin levels, which stores your fat. Protein, such as chicken, beef, and cheese doesn't do that, and so you don't store as much fat with those types of food. Of course, you gotta be careful though. Too much high fat cheese will make you gain weight simply because of the fat content. Make sure if you're going to try it is try drinking some fibre drink, and get LOTS of fresh veggies in your diet! If not, you'll become constipated. Good luck!

12. QUESTION:
    Gaining weight on the "Abs Diet for Women"?
    I recently started following "The Abs Diet for Women" written by the editor of Men's Health. I really like the food plan because you eat 6 times a day. However, after a week of working out and following the plan, I have actually gained 2 lbs!

    Is this normal when starting a diet that requires you to eat several meals and lift weights?

    • ANSWER:
      hmm..this has me debating to start. i bought it several months ago and thought i would try it this week (vacation from high school..). maybe it is that you are gaining muscle from lifting?

13. QUESTION:
    How effective is the Abs Diet for women? Please, only those who have completed at least 6 weeks on the plan.?
    I'm 5'4.5",167 lbs. I've already lost weight on another eating plan (Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid; I dropped from 185 to 171 lbs.), but my busy schedule (full-time student, married and an indie film actress), I was not able to always measure the portions of my food. So, I decided to go on the Abs diet as well as drink 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar each morning (to get toxins out of my body), which brought me to my present weight. I was just wondering if any other women have completed at least 6 weeks on the diet, and what were your results?

    • ANSWER:
      There is an "Abs Diet for Woman" but...I stuck to the original Abs Diet by David Z. I found this more effective than any other "diet" and "weight loss program" due to the ease and simplicity of it.

      The only thing I would advise is to prepare all the foods, smoothies, snacks, etc. in advance. Or you might get to lazy and eat other stuff. Also another book he wrote, "The Eat Right Every time Book” has healthy alternatives for restaurants, fast food places, etc.

      Run outdoors if you can, it's more beneficial than the mill.

      Measuring the foods shouldn't be a problem since you'll get a sense of what's too much and your body will tell you. All the foods are packed with vitamins, protein, fiber, and all that good stuff. Especially since you’re drinking the smoothies!

      Just follow the outline on eating and exercising and you'll see results. The schedules fit my busy lifestyle, I was a full time student and full time employee among other organizations when I started.

      Before you start exercising you might want to "eat right" according to his plan so that you can get used to the foods and it's preparation.

      I was able to shed off 12 lbs in the 6 weeks. Ever since last year I've stuck to this lifestlye! (You might lose more due to your height and weight. I started at 120 at 4'11" now I am at 101). However, my Mom and b/f immediately took notice after I was on it for less than month. Now I am more energized and loving myself more and more. I am hooked on those darn smoothies as well!

      Shoot me an email if you have any other questions or if you need some encouragement!

      Sorry so long....ugh!

14. QUESTION:
    What can you eat when your on a diet? (for women)?
    What can you eat in the morning,eveing,and night when your on a diet ?

    • ANSWER:
      You have a wide variety really. Any fruits and vegetables. Chicken, salad, fish, things like that are all very good for you. In the morning is a good time to have fruit, you could also have yogurt (i'd stick will low fat for a diet) A salad or smoothie for lunch, fish or chicken for dinner. Really it's not too hard, anything packaged you can just look at the label and probably be able to tell if it's good or not. Just make sure you don't over-eat fruit (it has a lot of sugar, even though its natural!) And the best tip you can get on a diet is to eat every two hours, even if it's something small. That way, you're kept full all day. Those 100 calorie packs are great for snacks, just check and make sure they don't have a ton of fat or sugar. Oh and drink the 8 glasses of water a day that'll do amazing things for you!

15. QUESTION:
    Who has gotten results from "The Abs Diet For Women"?
    I am interested in buying this book and I would first like to know if any of you have lost weight with it and acheived a flat stomach.

    Please tell me how much weight and inches off your stomach you have lost. Also if it is worth buying.

    All feedback on it is welcomed.

    • ANSWER:

16. QUESTION:
    Why do fat/overweight women drink diet coke with most of their meals?
    A diet coke wouldn't matter when you're eating a buffet sized meal and a few dozen donuts for dinner.

    It doesn't make sense!

    • ANSWER:
      The only people that I know who drink it are skinny...Personally, I prefer the taste of diet coke, so that may be one reason.

      But then, if you think, a normal coke has calories of around 200 (depending on how much you drink), say the meal is about 800, not having those extra 200 will help a bit.

      They may drink it because they're trying to diet, even if they're not totally committed.

17. QUESTION:
    Does the Ab's Diet for Women actually work?
    I'm very skeptical when it comes to the fad diets that are out there, so I was wondering if this really worked. I eat healthy, and exercise regularly...Anyone have any luck with this one?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes it works

18. QUESTION:
    The Abs Diet For Women- Just another Low-Carb Diet?
    I am planning to purchase this book based on a recomendation. Can someone give me just the basics of the plan. Is it based on a low-carb lifestyle?

    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      No. It's based on twelve foods you should eat. They include things like oatmeal, whey protein, blueberrys, almonds and other nuts. There are a series of weight lifting exercises and you alternate these with cardio (I do walking). The diet is great if you can afford the foods. You get to eat six small meals per day. I like it because you don't pay hundreds of dollars for it. Your initial investment is the book, you buy the food anyway, and you have the option of purchasing the weights and ball.

      You can use a chair and milk jugs instead if you have to.
      You can get a better idea of it at the men's health website. Check it out before you buy the book.

19. QUESTION:
    Women who diet. Why do you deny yourselves the basic pleasure of food?
    this is not for obese women. This is for women who want to look more like celebrities.

    • ANSWER:
      Contrary to what the guy said above me, a lot of girls do work out and participate in sports and still diet. The thing with girls is that we don't want the same muscle structure that guys strive for. We want to look more feminine with some muscle tone and we certainly don't want to overdo it. Personally, I only go on diets to maintain my weight and sometimes I go on them so that I can enjoy the food I love later. Diets for me aren't a constant in my life and most of the time I do enjoy food. Diets for me are just something I need to implement once in a while to maintain my body and weight

20. QUESTION:
    What is the best diet pill for women?
    What is the best weight loss/diet pill for women? either something youve tried that worked for you or maybe a legit website that has a list of good ones.

    • ANSWER:
      I don't reccomend that you take any diet pills. Let me tell you why??? Diet pills just speed up your adernal gland... making your heart beat faster... and making you more tired... after the rush... yet if you are looking to lose weight fast... try the Atkins Diet... the first two weeks are really hard but you can lose 10-15 pounds in only 2 weeks...

      Yet, if you still insist on diet pills... the one that I now works best for me is: Hydroxycut

21. QUESTION:
    How to weight gain diet for women?
    weight gain diet for women

    • ANSWER:
      Although technically we understand "diet" to mean a change in what one eats to lose weight, if you want to change your diet (i.e., what you eat) to make sure you gain weight, then you should eat lots of high-caloric foods, and lots of it. (Not exercising will also help you gain weight.)

22. QUESTION:
    what would be the Anticancer Diet for women suffering with Breast Cancer?

    • ANSWER:
      There isn't an anti cancer diet. There's no food or diet that has been scientifically proven to cause, contribute to, prevent, treat, cure or affect the progress of any cancer, including breast cancer (the exception being that a diet high in red and processed meat is known to be a major risk factor for colorectal cancers).

      A healthy diet is important, and will help you to withstand the rigours of cancer treatment.

      I have had breast cancer; I had a very healthy diet prior to diagnosis - I had been vegan for several years, I ate organic where possible and my diet was packed with fruit and veg. It didn't stop me getting breast cancer, it didn't cure me, and I'd be foolish to rely on it preventing recurrence or metastasis.

      Having cancer is bad enough; putting yourself on a restrictive diet is likely to make you feel worse, and won't treat your cancer in any way.

      As for cottage cheese and flax, that particular piece of quackery is as discredited in Europe as it is everywhere else, and is certainly not used as a cancer treatment

23. QUESTION:
    What is the best diet supplement for women?
    Hi! I'm 23 years old and am trying to lose some weight. I am doing some moderate excercising, as moderate is all I have time for, and am watching what I eat. What is a good diet supplement, pills or for shakes, that is safe to take and works most effectively w/out side effects?

    Suggestions would be greatly appreciated,

    Thanks
    Calcium? Interesting, thanks.

    Any idea where I can get Wu Yi tea?

    • ANSWER:
      Calcium.

24. QUESTION:
    What is the best stimulant free fat and carb blocker or diet pill for women?
    I'm a 30 year old female who can't take diet pills with stimulants. My diet consists mainly of dairy and pasta, so I need a carb blocker or fat burner. I've checked out numerous websites claiming to be impartial but they all turn out to be promoting one brand or another. Any advice, and please, I know that exercise is the best way to lose weight and i am active. So diet pill advice only, please.

    • ANSWER:
      I have been through it all and know what's it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can't be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I've worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

      Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.

      First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can't eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...

      This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it's good for the heart.

      However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It's so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I've found a great addition to help any one out, it's a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don't get all crazy on me and say diet pills don't work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn't meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It's an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace.com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it's the best pill I've tried and I've tried cupboards full. Now this doesn't mean you have to follow my foot steps but I've successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.

      Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

27. QUESTION:
    Is there a good diet for pregnant women with nickel allergy?
    I was diagnosed with a pretty serious nickel allergy several months ago. My allergist recommended a low nickel diet which has been difficult, but I've noticed improvement of my symptoms. I just found out that I am pregnant and I'm worried that avoiding foods will deprive me and my unborn child of important vitamins and nutrients.

    • ANSWER:
      Hi there, the best thing to do is talk to your allergist. Because your allergy were several months ago he might have prescribed a very restrict diet in order to get you better quickly.
      Now that you are much better (I believe so), maybe your he can revise it.

      Nickel is found in many foods, and oral ingestion can lead to eczema as well. While it is impossible to maintain a nickel-free diet, certain foods have extremely high nickel contents; among them are chocolate, canned vegetables, oatmeal, almonds, legumes, and shellfish.

      When we are pregnant is good to have a very mixed variety of foods in our menu. This will bring a health 9 months period for you and your baby. The fresher the better.

      Hope it will help,

28. QUESTION:
    What are the best diet pills for women? Can diet pills prove effective to reduce the weight of women?

    • ANSWER:
      All diet pills and supplement are a risk to your health and should be avoid at all cost. The more effective the diet pills is the more threat it will give to your health. Although a few type of diet pills have been approved by FDA but there were cases at a point in time, the FDA have approved a drug that is certified safe for the public but later recalls it back when there is a new finding that the drug is not safe in the long term.
      There is a blog dedicated to expose the risk of diet pills and criteria on finding a safe & effective weight loss program. Probably it could safe your life.

29. QUESTION:
    Does P90x work without the diet plan for women?
    I already eat pretty good- mostly vegitarian, not too much sugar. I'm 19 and 160lbs. (yes, overweight, but I'm working on it!) I just realized eating good wouldn't make me loose weight- exercise would, so I decided to try something extreme. Do I have to follow their diet plan? Have other people my ageish had good results with or without it?
    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      I've done p90x and followed the diet plan. It's great for toning up, improving cardiovascular health, increasing flexibility, and improving overall fitness.

      But the p90x diet plan is meant to get people "ripped" or "super fit" etc. It is not meant to cause weight loss.

      You can, however, combine p90x with a low calorie diet (high carb, low carb, vegetarian, whatever you want) to produce weight loss.

      So to answer your question: You will not achieve significant weight loss if you follow the p90x diet plan.

      And I just have to say this:

      Unless you are a world class athlete, a professional boxer, or Lance Armstrong-- it is impossible to lose a significant amount of weight on exercise alone. It MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST be combined with REDUCED CALORIC INTAKE.

      It doesn't matter if you're a vegetarian, or a vegan, or a carnivore, or whatever-- if you do not reduce your overall caloric intake you cannot lose a significant amount of weight (unless you exercise 4 hours per day 6 days a week at maximum cardiovascular capacity).

31. QUESTION:
    Jenny Craig, NutriSystem, others, which is the best diet prgram for women age 35?
    I want to get on a diet that provides food, which is the best?

    • ANSWER:
      Both NutriSystem and Jenny Craig are good, but here's the problem: Do you want to eat NutriSystem or Jenny Craig food for the rest of your life? That's what it'll take if you want to lose the weight and keep it off. If you think you can do either diet just until you lose the weight, think again. If you're overweight there's a reason for it, and that reason is you don't eat right and you don't get enough exercise. So if you go on a temporary diet and then go back to your old habits, you'll gain all the weight back -- plus interest.

      To answer your question: I would recommend Jenny Craig for women and NutriSystem for men, but before you start the program start thinking about what you're going to do once you've lost the weight to keep it off. Believe me, as you get older your diet has a lot more to do with your weight than exercise. Believe me, I know -- I was gaining weight despite increasing my physical activity, but once I got my diet in order the pounds started dropping off. So do yourself a favor and think about making permanent changes in your eating and exercise habits so you can kiss the extra weight goodbye permanently.

    Diet for women to lose weight?
    My girlfriend wants to work out with me and lose weight so what is a good diet for her to be on and what type of food drinks and exercises should she be doing to lose weight?

    • ANSWER:
      Your blood type is the key that unlocks the door to the mysteries of health, disease, longevity, physical vitality and emotional strength. Your blood type determines your susceptibility to illness, which foods you should eat and how you should exercise. It is a factor in your energy levels, the efficiency with which you burn calories, your
      emotional response to stress and perhaps even your personality.

36. QUESTION:
    what is a good diet for women?
    if u can put the list of foods we can eat and or an excersise routine.
    if possible not the japanese diet. and also something that is balanced meals.

    • ANSWER:
      I'm assuming you mean a weight loss diet, as opposed to a healthy eating general one.
      You have to exercise to burn excess calories, cycling, walking, running, rowing are all good calorie burners, but the key is length of time constant rather than a short burst,
      the same amount of calories are burned walking a mile as running one, because the exercise goes on for longer, although at lower intensity, so a half hour walk is better than a five minute run!
      Cycling is excellent as little pressure is put upon the joints, particulary knees and ankles which can be prone to injury in running.
      If your local gym or sports center does class cycling, aka Spin cycle, revolution cycling, veloton this is one of the quickest weight loss excercise programs, with classes at about 40 minutes.

37. QUESTION:
    How do you do the "Abs Diet" for women?
    I'm reading the book, "Abs Diet" It seems to be written for men. I'm a woman, 33, I'd like to lose about 10 lbs, mostly around the middle. Will this diet really work for me? Should I adapt it for a woman, I guess eat about half of the food suggested?

    • ANSWER:
      There is a book by the same author called 'Abs Diet for Women.' It's a green book. I bought it and read it, but there were just too many guidelines that I got lost in it. I like for any diet I do to be easy and straight-forward. But there is a book just for women if you'd like to try it.

42. QUESTION:
    Food Combination Diet For Pregnant Women?
    Do you think a food combination diet is safe for pregnant women to follow?

    Question: I am 5 months pregnant and do not want to gain a significant amount of weight, do you think a food combination diet would work well for me?

    • ANSWER:
      First of all, it is important for you to discuss health and nutrition with your health care provider. But there are numerous of delicious and healthy foods you can choose on a food combination diet. The diet does not restrict you from eating the foods that are good for you, which is important during your pregnancy. It just keeps you from eating certain foods combined together. So, you will not miss out of the nutrition that you and your baby both need during your pregnancy. On a food combination diet you will be able to get your protein, vegetables, carbs and other good foods. So, eating foods at different times and separate from one another may actually be a great way to watch what you eat, and your weight during your pregnancy. There is a lot of great information available on the diet. I think you will find the plan to be good one to follow.

      Here are a couple of good resources:

46. QUESTION:
    What is the best diet for women over 50?

    • ANSWER:
      Hi, grandma judy. I'm a grandma too and same age bracket. My doc recommends lots of fruits and veg and whole grains, low fat with plenty of protein through fish and lean meats, basically sensible eating. We should take a calcium supplement. Don't neglect the carbs though - we do need them. Walking is a great exercise, or any other aerobic exercise you are comfortable with about 5 days a week, but build in some weight lifting too. We need it for our bones.

      At our age our metabolisms are slowing down so we need to make sure we keep our activity level up to not put on the pounds. I use a website www.nutrawatch.com to record food, exercise, etc. It is a neat website as it will calculate what your caloric intake should be for age, height and weight, your BMI, and lots of other things. Another useful website is www.caloriesperhour.com.

      I hope this helps.

    If he is over 18, in good health and not playing a competitive sport.

      Yes.

49. QUESTION:
    What are the best diet pills for women to take?
    i need to lose 10-20 pounds in the next few months and was wondering what are the safest pills to use that actually help u lose weight ????? help soon...

    • ANSWER:
      Colon cleansing is required for the removal of toxic and mucus buildup in the colon and assists in recovering natural balance of good and bad bacteria and the adequate absorption and production of enzymes and vitamins. Proper colon cleansing will help reduce food intolerance, improve skin appearance, reduce cellulite, improve energy, reduce weight, and enahance immune function.

      A toxic colon is a major factor in the development of food intoleranc, malnutrition, and chronic ill health. The colon is a main organ responsible for ridding the body of toxic waste. When the colon is not functioning properly because of diet, stress, drugs, chemicals, parasites, and other substances, it tries to protect itself by producing more mucus. This additional mucus can bind with the sludge from refined foods, such as white flour products, and build up on the wall of the bowel, narrowing the lumen, and reducing absorption of vital nutrients. This layer of gluey, hardened feces can weigh several pounds and is a good place for harmful organisms and bacteria to breed. Do not think because you have regular bowel movements, or even diarrhea, that you have escaped this problem. The stool can pass daily through a dirty colon and leave the accumulated residue on the walls behind. There is no need to get panicky about the amount of weighty colon sludge you might be carrying around with you: there is a great deal you can do about it. Various supplements have been developed to assist in the process of colon cleansing.

      Hope it helps!
