Again, you’re one of those people who make things so complicated.

Eat protein and walk seven miles everyday for a few weeks. Then start jogging quarter miles, then two miles, and et cetera. Sweating like a pig’s GOOD. Staying dehydrated is GOOD. Even at night, when you’re all sore. You’ll get over it.

You could probably lift ten pounders (dumbbells) easy after a month or so. Check out Men’s Health website/magazine.

NOTE: Walking burns calories off different parts of body, like your thighs. Running takes all the meat off your bones and keeps you healthy.

Question: I’m Really At The End of My Rope Here… Weight Loss Help?
Alright so this is my second question asked this morning in “Diet and Fitness”, but I really am at a loss of what to do right now…
In my last question I stated I’m 17, a little under 5’6″, overweight (160), and have a large cup size (38DD)… and I’m not sure what to do anymore…
I’ve become morbidly obsessed with the scale, I’ll weigh myself 4-10 times in just a day. I’ll go one or two days without eating then I’ll relapse and eat and eat and eat (about 2 meals and 1 or 2 snacks). I’m going to the doctor in January because for years I’ve been plagued with dizzy spells and not eating ha made them worse and worse.. I exercise obsessively, but I never do it when anyone’s around, and that includes family! I exercise every chance I get when I’m home alone and I’ll do it until it hurts.
I’m tired of my friends calling me “curvy”, I’m tired of guys only looking at my chest and not my face, and most of all I’m tired of whenever I try to get help with my scale obsession in this family all they say is “oh us ____’s don’t care what the scale says.” which just really ticks me off because I DO!
I need help!
No one is willing to help me and I’m pretty much at the point of OD’ing on diet pills and laxatives and not even caring if they kill me or not!

Well’ First its what you get and then what you do after. Exercise before you eat, the best time is in the morning before your first meal. you eat 7 meals a day. breakfast, lunch, dinner, in between those you eat a light snack such as an apple. It takes self encouragement. Eating healthy is the best thing to do. Eat 500 calories a day. No more! and read the food label. so you; yourself can see how many calories are going inside of you. Also, you might wanna try asking your doctor. & about your boobs. that’s awesome because people wish to have bigger breast; but the guys are always going to look, it just depends who you fall for. – Good Luck

I’ve asked it in this section instead since “Diet & Fitness” is mostly just spam.

The true answer is unfortunately not an easy one to accomplish. You need to be stronger mentally. The truth is most people will gain weight and never lose it, but if you really want to then you need to stay focused and stay strong. I find that for myself, when in a relationship I get comfortable and usually get a little out of shape. When I find myself single I have no problem with not eating all the extra foods and sticking to a strict exercise routine and getting back in great shape, and then all over again. Also when you start working out (and I don’t mean once or twice) give it at least 2 weeks, you will find yourself feeling better and feeling better about yourself. At that point it will be much easier to stay in the routine. As long as you eat poorly and don’t exercise you will find that despite your want to change you wont have the energy or self esteem to go through wiith it all the way, IMO. Hope this helps, stay strong and focused, joining an exercise club for at least the first couple of weeks might help especially if you do it with a friend. You can keep each other strong and you won’t want to let each other down so that may keep you going. Just don’t miss even one day or you will find you can too easily make excuses for not going.

Part of the problem in finding drugs which may be effective for dementia is that our ideas about what constitutes dementia have been undergoing radical change in recent years. It had been traditional to distinguish between Alzheimer’s dementia, or senile dementia of the Alzheimer’s type (SDAT) and multi-infarct dementia (MID), which is theoretically caused by small strokes which insidiously pick off brain tissue to the point where an individual’s cognitive function is compromised.

It was originally thought that MID accounted for 60%+ of the dementias. Accordingly, early attempts to treat the dementias concentrated on the multi-infarct dementias. The initial hypothesis was that these multiple small strokes were being caused by a process of hardening of the arteries, sometimes called arteriosclerosis and sometimes atherosclerosis (although these terms refer to two quite different disorders) which impaired blood supply to the brain. The logical treatment, therefore, for this condition was to attempt to dilate blood vessels. This led to the use of a wide number of vasodilating drugs such as hydralazine.

It is quite rare now for such drugs to be used for this purpose. Arguably, if anything, such treatment may have made the condition somewhat worse in that a potential effect of vasodilators is the reduction of blood pressure and reducing blood pressure would mean that the brain would be less perfused with blood, as one of the functions of blood pressure in the first instance is to provide the propulsive force to send blood up against the force of gravity to perfuse the brain.

Stage 2

More recent attempts to treat the dementias have proceeded on the basis that Alzheimer’s dementia is the commonest form of dementia. For many years, the term Alzheimer’s dementia was reserved for dementias that came on before the age of 65 (for this reason it was also called persenile dementia), which were not obviously caused by strokes. It was conceded that there was another dementia that was like Alzheimer’s dementia, which appeared to come on after the age of 65 but this was thought to be less common. Distinctions on the basis of age have now collapsed and both dementias of the Alzheimer type are now called senile dementia of the Alzheimer type. The amalgamation of these two groups led to an awareness that Alzheimer’s-type dementia is the commonest form. The primary therapeutic focus in the field, therefore, has been on an attempt to reverse the deficits which are supposed to be present in SDAT.

In particular, it has been held that in Alzheimer’s, there is a dysfunction of cholinergic pathways in the brain, for which there are both historical and clinical reason. Historically, when early work in psychopharmacology began, there were only four known neurotransmitters – noradrenaline, 5-HT, dopamine and acetylcholine (ACh). Noradrenaline quickly became the neurotransmitter involved in depression and mood disorders. Dopamine was known to be involved in Parkinson’s disease, and, when it became clear that neuroleptics acted on it, schizophrenia, after which the psychoses in general came to be seen as disorders of dopamine neurotransmission. For the most part, 5-HT was associated with either depression or anxiety. This left ACh without a function. It seemed convenient to parcel it out to the dementias.

There was, in addition, some clinical evidence in favour of an association between the cholinergic system and dementia. Part of the reason for this claim can be seen in a number of the chapters of this blog, in which drugs with anticholinergic effects have been noted as potentially causing amnesia or confusion (see The Management of Side Effects & Side Effects of Antidepressants articles).

Stage 3

In the last 5 years, a number of other dementias have been described. A distinction has been drawn between cortical and subcortical dementias. The cortex of the brain is the area responsible for higher cognitive functions, such as speaking, reading, planning and executing actions, etc In the cortical dementias, memory is usually the function most noticeably affected but those who are affected also have problems with planning even simple functions such as dressing and they typically cannot read, draw or execute any complex tasks. Alzheimer’s and MID are cortical dementias. There are also subcortical parts to the brain which are common to humans and other mammals. They involve a number of what are termed midbrain and brainstem structures.
