Fruititarian need Fiber supplements??? WTF??!?!?

bodybuildingsupplement — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 02:42:08 +0000

For cost reasons, I’ve become a fruititarian….and yea im no ‘malnourished’, I’m pre-med and know about nutrition so I know how to get all the protein, fat, blah blah I need.
So…anyone heard of a fruititarian that needed fiber supplements? i think my dr. was a bit retarded when she prescribed me 25 g fiber via metamucil bowl of fiber1 cereal daily fiber yogurt daily fiber bars….ALL on top of my reg. meals which primarily consist of beans/legumes, tofu, veggies and fruit
Wouldn’t taking fiber supplements while being a fruititarian be BAD for you? I mean, too much fiber can screw u up….
I appreciate all responses but please stay away from passing judgement:
1. bashing my typos…if typos make you lose credibility on this casual site, then that’s just insane.
2. assuming that I feel superior to my medical doctor. I am allowed to ask questions to see if anyone else has had to utilize fiber supplements while eating primarily fruites/veggies because I find that strange–whats so wrong with that?
3. I get my protein and fats. I just said that. So please answer the question according to the details given., more

Home Remedies for a cold or flu?

bodybuildingsupplement — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 02:28:08 +0000

First off let me clear this up: I’m not looking for remedies to keep me from getting a cold - although that is great. I am looking for remedies and herbs to take once I have a cold and/or flu. Specifically something other than Echinacea. Echinacea works. Well. Too well. Lol! Echinacea works so well that it eliminates my pain medication from my system. Until I get my teeth fixed I’m going to need those chemicals. So Anything else?
I’m interested in alleviating symptoms but mainly recovering 100%. What about Vitamin C supplements; Vitamin E; and garlic? I used to take garlic but then I couldn’t find my brand one day and bought another brand. I still have it because it makes my head hurt. I don’t know if it makes my head hurt because something is wrong with it or if that means it’s working. Lol! Let me know.
Thanks in advance., more

Am I doing good by staying away in the evening?

12 week old screamed for hours after having formula..?

bodybuildingsupplement — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 02:11:25 +0000

I exclusively pump and give the breastmilk to my daughter in the playtex drop-ins bottles. Occasionally I have to supplement with a bottle of formula, which is very rare. My 12 week old daughter goes to the sitter’s house during the day while I am at work. I send her with freshly pumped milk, a refrigerated bottle of breastmilk, and some bags of frozen milk. Yesterday I forgot to send her with a frozen bag for her afternoon bottle, and she had to give her formula. It was the similac advance. My daughter only drank 1 ounce, this was at 4:30. Come 5:30ish, my daughter started screaming uncontrollably, like she was in pain. (She never really cries, just whines when she needs something) So this realy concerned me. I took her temp and everything was fine. I changed her diaper which was runnier than usual and she continued to cry uncontrollably. I rocked for about two hrs until I finally had my hubby drive her around in the car. This seemed to settle her, because she fell asleep. But the minute my hubby got home and set the car seat down in the living room, Lillian woke up and started screaming again. I tried to feed her some pumped milk several times during the scream fest and she wouldn’t take it. I gave her Mylicon and it didn’t seem to help. Finally after 3 hrs of screaming non-stop I gave her about .4 drop of infant tylenol. She fell asleep shortly after this and slept for 45 mins. She then woke up again screaming, almost like she would’ve had a bad dream. By that time it was close to her usual bedtime so I gave her a bath, which calmed her. After the bath she took about 3ounces, which she normally drinks 5 before bedtime. And she didn’t sleep well at all last night, which is strange behavior for her. Do you think the formula was what caused all the screaming, changes in behavior, and messed up sleep patterns? She’s had a few bottles of the similac advance formula before, it never made her scream, just kind of gassy and mylicon usually helped…. What’s your take on my situation?, more

How much protein, carbs, and fat are needed in daily diet?

bodybuildingsupplement — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 02:03:09 +0000

I am a 5â11â male, and weigh at around 190lbs. I have around 20% boy fat, and would like to lose as much of it as possible, while maintaining my muscle and perhaps even gaining some.
I am a beginner, I mean I have been working out for the past 3-4 years, but have been on and off every 2-3 months, so never really had any real gains from it, so consider myself a beginner. My diet was also primarily comprised of junk food, and over the past 6-7 month, I have tried to curb the junk food I take in.
Given the goals I have in mind, and the timeline is not like a month or two, maybe even 4 months is good as long as I see continued benefits.
My current diet profile looks like this: Daily calories â 1800-2000 (counted for variations, and 1 day over feeding will be around 2500); Proteins â 125 grams per day; Carbs â 320 grams/day ; Fat â 30 grams/day.
Supplements: Whey Protein Isolates â 24grams Protein/scoop, 3 times daily with 1% reduced fat chocolate milk; 4 grams Creatine, 4 grams L-Glutamine, around 2 grams BCAA, 1 tablet Multivitamin.
Additional Supplements: Mil fat burners â Prolab Cuts2 â 2-3 times daily (4 tablets), Prolab Metabolic Thyrolean â 2-3 times daily (2 capsules); Night time thermogenesis (by Lean) â 3 capsules daily before bed. I do apply the Ab Solution Plus topical fat loss cream 1-2 times daily.
Workout Schedule:
Mon â Back/Biceps (3 exercises per part, 5sets x 7-8reps), 10 min HIIT, 10 mins Abs
Tues â Chest/Triceps (3-4 exercises per part, 5sets x 7-8reps), 10 min HIIT, 10 mins Abs
Wed â Shoulders/Legs (3-4 exercises per part, 5 sets x 7 reps), no cardio, 10 min Abs
Thur â 25 min HIIT, next level Abs exercises (almost double the intensity and diff exercises), 15 min HIIT
Friday â Full Body (compound exercises), 10 min HIIT, 10 min Abs
Sat- Full Body (compound exercises, different exercises than on Friday), 10 min HIIT, 10 min Abs.
Sun â Off
I donât lift too much weight (well, I cant over a certain weight for a given exercises), and thought of adding creatine just so I can lift more, so that even when I quit taking creatine, I would still have moved up from what I am doing right now.
Please analyze my schedule and give your comments on it. Does it coincide with my goal? I plan to continue doing the same for about 8-10 weeks, then maybe change some diet/supplements/workout. I donât want to bulk up (not literally), I wish to gain some muscle, more definition, and lose fat to get to about 13%-15% (from 20%-22% right now).
Would really appreciate any help from all you guys there, who are experienced in bodybuilding. Thanks for taking time to read through the long post., more

I am going for the travel opportunties, to hang out on the beach and relax before law school. Can I get by on this? I am willing to live cheaply, but I’m wondering if this income will allow me to go out some and take some weekend trips around Europe. Would I need to supplement this income? Please advise.
I am going for the travel opportunties, to hang out on the beach and relax before law school (it’s an 8 month program). Can I get by on this? I am willing to live cheaply, but I’m wondering if this income will allow me to go out some and take some weekend trips around Europe. Would I need to supplement this income? I would have to pay for my own housing and the IRS would tax my income. Please advise.

What's the best way to become big? (Increasing muscle size)?

bodybuildingsupplement — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 01:42:14 +0000

Hello, I’m a 19 year old guy that’s really skinny 6′0 (183 cm) and 135 lbs (61 kg). I eat a lot, try to train 3 days a week (heard you can injure yourself otherwise) but I just don’t see any results. I take normal Creatine but it doesn’t seem to help a lot.
I don’t care about the time it costs (up to 2-3 hours a day is fine with me), I can buy supplements or stick to a diet, I just don’t know how I should do it. Does anyone know a training program that would definitely work for me?
I don’t got much space in my room so it would be best if it was dumbbells only because I don’t got anything else at the moment.
Thank you for your time :), more
