   • ANSWER:
     Bro, I would try something like a green tea about 3 times per day. don't go with any of the scam pills in the bottle. If they worked people would be skinny and stop buying them and the pill companies would be out of biz. But people just keep getting bigger.

     Usually losing weight is simple numbers. You need to know your basic metabolic rate (BMR). Once you know your BMR then you can design a diet lower in calories than your BMR.

     But.... it is not always that simple. You could also have metabolic anomalies or even hormone irregularities that can make losing weight virtually impossible.

     Start with the simple stuff. Calculate your BMR right here http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ then alter your diet if necessary.

     Now, if you don't see results after that you may look into the hormonal or metabolic areas. Also make sure you are being realistic, and that you do have weight to use. Don't forget... celebrities use tons of drugs and have personal trainers! We should all be so lucky

     I have been doing the crossfit workouts and they have shredded my body big time (removed my body fat). They are pretty tough, but the results are quick!

     give them a try and see what you think. I usually do the WOD's

     Also to tone muscle, make sure you are getting plenty of protein to aid in recovery and building of new muscle tissue

2. QUESTION:
   I'm on a diet, but lately I've gained weight because I haven't been able to go to the bathroom...?
   I've been trying to lose some weight lately and it had been going great until about the last week. My plan was to go from ~190 lbs to ~170 lbs. I reached 183 lbs pretty quickly, in a matter of 17 or 18 days, but this past week I've gained anything I've lost. I'm back to 189 lbs.

   For some reason, my bowels must be acting up and I haven't felt any need to go number 2. Therefore, any food I eat stays in my body and has not left it for the past week, and I've now gained any weight I had lost. The same thing is happening with my bladder. I've been drinking about 40 oz or 5 cups of water a day, but lately I've only been able to go number 1 maybe 2 or 3 times a day, and not even much at all on any trip. I've been urinating approximately only 50% of the water I'm drinking.

   So I'm back to square one on my weight loss. My daily meals amount to about 30g of fat (20g in just milk fat from the 2% milk), 1000 calories, and 140 carbs.

   I get plenty of fiber. I replace two of my meals a day with a bowl of healthy cereal (often Multigrain Cheerios), and I get even more fiber on my third meal, as well. Just today, I decided I'd take even MORE fiber by drinking Metamucil, which is soluble fiber supplement. I've taken two glasses of Metamucil so far today and I still feel no need to go number 2 or number 1.

   What's wrong and what can I do to fix this? I'm beginning to consider to supplement my diet with some daily Dannon Activia yogurt to get some bowel regularity, and I'm even considering taking laxatives.

   Although I look trimmer than when I was just a few weeks ago, I still weigh the same. When my bowels get some regularity back, will this weight that I just gained shed off quickly? Because I find it hard to believe I have 6 or 7 lbs of food in my digestive system that has yet to come out, and I'm bummed that I'll have to start over because my bowels decided to act up. Also, does this phenomena happen often with other diets?

   Anyways, thank you for reading and especially if you answer with some tips!

3. QUESTION:
   loss of circulation in hands when using xenadrine?
   i started using xenadrine yesterday ( a dietary supplement that speeds up metabolism and helps lose weight). i do have a sensitivity to caffeine, and there is caffeine in xenadrine pills... the circulation was cut off in my hands last nite. is this normal? because once i took a whole bunch of No-Doz and my mouth went numb and got frozen in one position.

   • ANSWER:
     Any circulation problems can be a sign of heart disease. You need checked for that. It may be early, but at least you can keep it at bay if it's that. My mom always said that when she took diet-like pills her circulation was affected,too. So, maybe... I really believe all those diet pills are bad for your heart- no matter how au-natural they say they are. Marijuana is natural, but it can still trigger cancer's.

6. QUESTION:
   Vitamin B12 Deficiency or French Polio?
   So, about 3 years ago, my mom began to eat much less than one probably should. I’m talking about less than 1,000 calories on a daily basis. It may have started as depression after the death of her mother in 2002 and then father and brother just months prior to her changing her eating habits, but after losing some weight, she began to eat even less, perhaps in attempt to lose more weight. She was 250 lbs at the time and has since then lost about 75 lbs. She does so by eating as little as she can, no more than approx. 300-400 calories on most days. It’s not as though she counts calories, but comes up with excuses such as why something doesn’t taste any good, having a late lunch being a reason not to have dinner, or eating half of virtually everything she eats, no matter how small.

   Anyway, although I have noticed signs of nutritional deficiency for a long time, last month she began to complain about not having the strength to walk and about how her hands and feet were numb. As time progressed, things have only gotten worse. The numbness has spread up her arms and legs, in addition to experiencing tingling and a sharp pain, especially in her feet. She also complained about the loss of feeling in her hands. I have also noticed her muscles almost becoming as jelly. She now cannot so much as lift herself up and it is extremely difficult for her to stand up just for a moment to get in a wheel chair.

   She began visiting a chiropractor a few weeks ago. He thought she might have MS, and suggested she visit a neurologist. They did multiple tests, including scans and blood tests. They concluded she was dangerously low in potassium as well as folic acid. She will need to take supplements. However, that doesn’t appear to be causing her problems. I’m almost certain she’s deficient in other nutrients as well. Recently, she was told that she didn’t have MS and suggested that she had French polio. French polio is characterized by the loss of myelin which surrounds nerve cells. This causes the symptoms I covered earlier. However, these symptoms also describe vitamin b12 deficiency. I’m no doctor, but I’m led more to believe she is suffering from protein and b12 deficiency rather than polio or ms, based on how I know she’s already deficient in several if not more essential nutrients.

   I am just worried that if they treat her for having polio, that they’ll be ignoring the cause of the problem. What do I do? I may be wrong, but it wouldn’t be the first time a specialist would be wrong either. I had an ENT specialist treat me several years ago. I knew for a fact that I just had temporary damage to my ears after being around loud noise. He tried to convince me I had allergies in my ears. He was so off the mark. My point is, more often than not, they can’t be trusted. Do I trust my instincts? What kind of tests need to be done for b12 deficiency, and wouldn’t they have caught it when they did other blood tests? Do you know anyone who experienced the above symptoms? What was the diagnosis?

   • ANSWER:
     Hi, To diagnose vitamin B12 deficiency they do what is called a schilling test which is a 24 hour urine test, to determine if the body is absorbing B12, if after this test it shows that the body is deficient in B12, then they usually start with 1000 micrograms 2-4 times a week (this depends on the severity) for six weeks, then once a month injections.Deficiency of B12 can result in anemia and possible damage to the nervous system, and may show symptoms of weight loss, depression, personality and mood changes. A check with her doctor, could confirm that while she was undergoing other tests, she did have a test for B12 deficiency. I wish you and your Mom well.
