What Is Li
hello :) im a 17 year old girl, 4'11.
ive been dieting for the past 3 months and i have went from 137 to 110 pounds. but i sort of did it the unhealthy way.
Answer
You need to lose 10 more lbs which takes only a month. Hereâs a good low-carb food/exercise plan:
Breakfast: Cook 9-grain cereal (from health food store) in water with rolled oats and wheat bran. Make a pot of it on weekends and nuke 1/2 cup each morning. Then stir in low fat milk or yogurt, banana, walnuts and berries. Drink hot Ovaltine. Breakfast should be your largest meal of the day to raise blood sugar level which falls during the night.
Lunch: Egg, tuna or turkey ½ sandwich on multi-grain (not just whole wheat) bread with bean or alfalfa sprouts, yogurt, fresh fruit. If you had meat loaf for dinner, bring a meat loaf sandwich on whole grain bread (NO mayo). On cold days, a squatty thermos of hot chili, split peas with ham, or beef stew.
Snacks: Fresh (not canned) fruit. Nothing ever from a vending machine.
Fruit smoothies.
Dinner: salad with white meat chicken and fresh (not canned) veggies: tomatoes, 2 kinds of lettuce, 2 kinds of shredded cabbage, shredded or sliced carrots, alfalfa or bean sprouts, zucchini, green or red peppers, hard boiled eggs, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, tofu, cottage cheese, spinach...Instead of dressing, squeeze 1/4 tomato over it.
Or homemade bean/vegetable soups; great way to recycle leftovers.
Or grilled fish with steamed veggies.
Or omelet: In blender, whip together eggs, tofu, cottage cheese, onions, garlic powder. Cook with mushrooms, chopped tomatoes and green or red peppers.
Avoid junk food, fast foods, gluten, pastries, desserts, syrup (even canned fruit in syrup), peanut butter, fat/grease (pork, wieners, chops, bacon, salami, pizza, chips, fries), pasta, potatoes, ramen, popcorn, white bread, rice, canned veggies, ice cream (itâs lard + chemicals), chips, tobacco, alcohol (kills brain cells).coffee (carcinogenic). no oil except olive and mac nut. Sodas (loaded with toxins; leads to stroke, obesity, kidney damage, high BP and inhibits bone growth in kids), anything with sugar (cancer cells feed on sugar, it wreaks havoc on your liver, mucks up metabolism, impairs brain function, makes you more susceptible to heart disease and diabetes),
To keep your skin clear, drink water, tea, veggie juice, unsweetened fruit juice.
Join a gym; they have all the equipment and staff to show you how to use it to get the look you want to achieve, but you have to ask them. Much cheaper than buying your own equipment. Go hiking, biking, jogging, bowling, swimming, rowing, jump rope, play tennis, badminton, volleyball, soccer, jumping jacks, lift weights, trampoline? To tone your tummy, do sit ups, push ups, pull ups, leg lifts, butt raises and crunches.
For more energy, take Super B complex.
How are you guys in Houston or Galveston area coping with Hurricane Ike?
Tuan
I hear Hurricane Ike is hitting Galveston at this moment, and that it will be catastrophic. I hope you keep safe.
Answer
Thanks for the good wishes!
I live near Med Center, I boarded up the back windows, locked all the doors, made sure the cats had plenty of food, extra kitty litter and five bowls of water, and got out. (Wanted to take the cats, but I can't...I'm at the in-laws house and they have a cat so they said my cats weren't welcome... and I didn't have the heart to leave them out in the storm!!)
Our place will be fine, I would have stayed, but we wanted the kids up here at Grandmas. In the Woodlands all the power lines are underground, so there is an excellent chance we won't loose power here. Med Center will probably loose power at some point.
The low-lying areas along the coast and Galveston are going to get scrubbed. The storm surge will be coming in at high tide, at about 4AM, and they say about 20% of the people in the mandatory evacuation zones decided to "ride it out". A lot of them are going to die. The storm surge will hit them in the middle of the night, and there just isnt' going to be any help coming for them. The EMS is already shutting down and preparing to ride out the storm. You know you are in a pickle when the Coast Guard has left the area you decided to stay in.
We are talking about a 20 foot storm surge, and that's NOT including the waves...waves will be higher. The water won't be going away either...as soon as the storm passes (that will take a couple of hours) and the tide drops, then all the water that the storm drops on the whole area will start to drain down to the bay. They will have high water for hours, and it is going to be in the dark. If anyone is haiving a "hurricane party" and getting drunk...well 20 feet of water with 100 mph winds, driving rain, at 4AM and you are passed out drunk.... the math does not work out well....
The key to a hurricane is that it either hits where you are, or someplace else. The key is to be someplace else. Even though this looks like it will be a direct hit on Houston, the storm surge will be limited to the areas near the coast, and the wind damage will be... well it will be interesting.
IT will be "only" a cat 2 when it hits, so when it gets into Houston itself it will be "only" a cat 1. Cat 1 and Tropical storm winds arent' that bad if you have a well built house. They aren't fun, but buildings don't colapse on you, unless you are in a mobile home. The damage comes from wind blown objects...lawn furniture, etc. I am most worried that my neighbors trampoline will wind up in my sunroom.
The big problem is we haven't had an ice storm or a wind storm in a while to clear out the dead tree branches...so all of those will be coming down and messing up the powerlines. After Alicia hit some areas were without power and water for weeks.
You will see lots of scary and tragic pictures out of Galveston and the Bay area (Clear Lake, Seabrook, and the Boardwalk, etc.). Most of the rest of the city will probably be up and running by the middle of next week, at the latest. I will have to be back to check on the cats on Sunday, (the house will STINK) and expect to be back to work on Monday or Tuesday.
