  • Should I try laxatives?

    I've haven't really been doing much...solid waste releasing lately(as in not for a few days now) I'm kinda worried that it's causing me to feel puffy and not really helping the scale go down(before this issue, it was going smoothly)

    I follow a vegan diet and I already get plenty of fiber...I eat lots of veggies like broccoli, peas, black beans, etc, and almost all whole grains. I also exercise quite often and drink nothing but water and some hot tea so that's not the issue either.

    Anyways, I'm wondering if laxatives are the way to go in order to get me back on track and maybe stop this puffiness/weight issue.

  • Won't raising my caloric intake make me gain weight?

    I'm struggling with issue involving food...I hate myself when I eat or get full and I try to purge. I usually don't go above 800..sometimes 900. And this is an increase from my 200-500 limit. If I go up to the recommended 1200-1400 won't I just gain weight?

    Also, I don't eat meat or dairy and I rarely eat eggs. I don't drink sodas, eat fast/junk/super-processed foods. All I drink is water, tea(fresh), and sometimes soy milk. I am overweight at 5' 7" and 162 lbs(when I weighed almost 2 weeks ago) I have been exercising 5 times a week with some cardio and toning.

    I'm so scared to eat food and gain weight, but I need to know if I'm just setting myself back more.

    Please help?

  • How can I safely bring my caloric intake up to where it should be?

    For the past two weeks I've been having an average caloric intake of 400-700...sometimes more. I'm almost done with this near fast where I don't go over 200. It's over after Thursday, and I'm thinking I should go back to 800 or so calories a day...no more than 1000. I've been having issues with making myself throw up; this is another habit I know I need to stop...before it gets out of control.

    I don't want to hear any whining about what this is doing to my body. Obviously I know this or I wouldn't be asking for help. This fasting thing was just to be a test of my willpower and to kick-start a bit of fat/weight loss. I'm starting to get intense pains and cravings, so I know that's not good. I don't want to go all out Friday, so I need some help. Please?

  • Carb Intake: Good or Bad?

    I generally get around 80-140 carbs in a day. Almost all of my bread/carb products come from whole grains or whole-wheat sources...hardly any white products when I can help it. However, I'm not sure how much is the average or recommended dosage. I'm 18, 5'7" and 165-170 lbs. I follow a meat-free, dairy-free diet and I'm working towards losing weight. Please help?

  • Harvest moon 64 rom assistance, please?

    I'm trying to start a new game using an emulator, but when I get to the 'chose a diary' screen I'm unable to do anything. My key pad can go to different diaries and to 'delete' and 'move'. However, neither the start key or my A key will do anything, so I can't select a diary. And I have tried all the buttons, just to be safe. I don't know what to do....

  • In William Wordsworth's poem 'Stepping Westward" what is the meter?

    "What, you are stepping westward?"--"Yea."

    ---'T WOULD be a wildish destiny,

    If we, who thus together roam

    In a strange land, and far from home,

    Were in this place the guests of Chance:

    Yet who would stop, or fear to advance,

    Though home or shelter he had none,

    With such a sky to lead him on?

    The dewy ground was dark and cold;

    Behind, all gloomy to behold;

    And stepping westward seemed to be

    A kind of heavenly destiny:

    I liked the greeting; 't was a sound

    Of something without place or bound;

    And seemed to give me spiritual right

    To travel through that region bright.

    The voice was soft, and she who spake

    Was walking by her native lake:

    The salutation had to me

    The very sound of courtesy:

    Its power was felt; and while my eye

    Was fixed upon the glowing sky,

    The echo of the voice enwrought

    A human sweetness with the thought

    Of travelling through the world that lay

    Before me in my endless way.
