William asks…
Are their any diets that follow the food pyramid at least almost perfectly?
I am not fat. I am a skinny teenager who doesn’t want to become a fat adult. It has happened to a lot of people in my family and I don’t want to be like them. I don’t want to go on a hardcore diet I just think that maybe I am eating to much junk food because I am eating a lot. I still want to be able to get the sweets and other good foods I like so do you know any diets that might work for me.

Welll , if you dont want to change wht you eat ,
you could always use the method i use :
“breakfast like a king,lunch like a queen and dinner like a pauper”
basically it means, have a big breakfast , a fairly decent sized lunch and just enough to curb your hunger for dinner.so you can eat all your good foods during the day and you’ll have more time to burn them off.also more healthier as breakfast is meant to be the most important meal of the day and boosts your metabolism …
David asks…
Can anyone name diets that actually work?
I am exploring my dietary options. Does anyone know a way I should balance my food intake, how many calories a day i should consume, or just anything?
I’m wondering about life style changing diets, or quick diets. I just want to look healthy but right now, I am not happy. I really hate not being comfortable in my own skin, so all help is welcomed!
Thank you!

I haven’t tried my self but i’ve heard a lot about people who had! So it takes exactly 100 days and you loose about 10 kg or about 22 pounds! So you don’t have to lessen the amount you eat, you just have to control WHAT you eat:
1. Things not to eat:
*junk food of any sort
*NO fast food
*nothing with too much flour or sugar
2. Exercise!!!!- skip for thirty minutes every day and go on a jog around you neighborhood. Just get between an hour and two hours of exercise every day!
3. Don’t eat after six in the evening!!!!! Eating before you sleep is very bad.
4. Don’t go on a diet with someone you know!- if you go on a diet with someone else, it might seem smart cause you can “suffer” together, but you end up comparing yourself to them!
5. Do not weigh yourself until the hundredth day!!!- you end up slacking off if you loose you weight faster than you expected.
6. Follow the food guide for your diet!
GOOD LUCK!!!!

How do people on low carb diets prevent constipation?
It amazes me to think that some people do low carb diets and don’t get constipated?
How so?
weight loss cardiff answers:
The first 2 weeks when foods are limited you still eat a high fiber diet – just these 4 foods which should be eaten daily during induction, gives you 33.5grams of dietery fiber – well over the RDA of 25g & much higher than the Standard American Diet. After 2 weeks, you are allowed almost all nonstarchy vegs (less than 25g net carbs in week 3)
21g total carbs – 13g fiber – 8g net carbs – Lettuce, Romaine- 1 head
12g total carbs – 8g fiber – 4g net carbs – Celery – 4 cups chopped
6g total carbs – 4.5g fiber – 1.5g net carbs – half an avocado
8g total carbs – 8g fiber – .5g net carbs – Flaxseed 1 ounce 4T
————————————–…
47g total carbs – 33.5g fiber – 14g net carbs
* Dietary fiber RDA (recommended daily allowance) values are based on 25 grams of dietary fiber per day. It is generally recommended that adults eat 25 – 30 grams of dietary fiber per day.
