Because if I don’t see results in a few years time, would getting liposuction help to kick start a new healthy eating plan? And I would also like to get it if I don’t see results to make me feel better. I know that it wont make me fitter, or healthier. But like I stated. Is it a good way to kick start a new healthy eating plan?
well not really, you’ve got a few years to see results! That is plenty of time to change an unhealthy lifestyle. Just find ways of motivating yourself to get there!
If someone could give me the whole rundown on these banana nutrition I would appreciate it.
A dehydrated banana would be cut about a half inch and put in a food dehydrator.
reulaer bannas are helther!
Stop the nonsense. Snake oil salesmen abound. Use common sense and your doctor’s advice; don’t expect anything but scams from so-called "alternative medicine" practitioners. Wasting your money on crap like that is like giving donations to organized crime.
I have been dieting for 3 weeks and want to keep it up. I did diet and bacardi before but that gets old. Any suggestions? I am going to a party and wanna have a few drinks with out totalling botching my diet?
It’s not so much the alcohol as it is the mixers. Sweet and sour mix, fruit juices, and things like that are FULL of sugar! Try getting used to drinks like martini’s and other drinks that are centered around the alcohol itself, not the mixer. Something else you can do is start making them old school, like how they used to be made before premade mixes were available in stores. Here’s a website that has a lot of really good recipes.

You can eat healthy at whatever age right? Im 14 and my mom thinks Im too young to be eating organic/healthy.

Wow… just… wow!
Of course you should eat healthy at any age! It is especially important for children to eat healthy. It really breaks my heart when I see obese mothers feeing their obese toddlers cola and junk food… argh!
You need healthy, wholesome food for your growing brain and body. What you do now plays a role in your health as an adult, especially when you become old. Do you want to be sick all the time? No, of course not! That’s why you have to eat healthy!
Now, that doesn’t mean you can’t have "junk" once in a while. Moderation is the key.
There’s a follow-up question after this: What is the comparison and contrast between the structures, nutrition and reproduction of the 5 kingdoms ( Monera, Protoctista, Fungi, Animalia, Plantae)?
Please reply A.S.A.P. Thanks for helping.
The five-kingdom classification of organisms
Nomenclature: Naming of organisms
Binomial: Biological name of an organism → Genus species
Taxon: Set of organisms within a category / Taxonomy / Study of biological classification
Different levels of taxons: SPECIES, GENUS, FAMILY, ORDER, CLASS, PHYLUM, KINGDOM
Most number of species on right
Most similar organisms on left
Unicellular: Single cell; Colonial: Groups of cells; Multicellular: Many cells
Autotrophs produce energy from inorganic sources
Phototrophs from photosynthesis/sunlight
Chemotrophs from simple inorganic (oxidative) processes
Heterotrophs digest and absorb organic molecules
Prokaryotae (prokaryotes)
Cell structure:
Prokaryotes, unicellular
Prokaryotes lack cytoplasmic organelles found in eukaryotes
Cell wall: murein
Nutrition: autotrophic (photosynthesis, chemosynthesis), aerobic heterotrophs
Divide by binary fission, not by mitosis
≈10μm in size (bacterial cell, filaments of blue-green bacteria)
Mutualistic nitrogen-fixing bacteria live in nodules on the root of legumes / symbiotic
Protoctista (protoctists)
Cell structure: eukaryotes, unicellular and multicellular
Cell wall: (sometimes) polysaccharide
Nutrition: autotrophic, heterotrophic
Placed in this category by exclusion / cannot be placed in any other kingdom
Slime moulds / fungi characteristics
Protozoa / heterotrophic and ingest food
Algae / photosynthesis
≈10μm (amoeba) – 1m (Laminaria / large brown alga)
Fungi
Cell structure: eukaryotes, multicellular and unicellular (yeast)
Cell wall: chitin
Nutrition: heterotrophic / saprotrophic decomposers or parasitic
Genus Penicillium
Body of a fungus is composed of thin filaments called hyphae / form a mycelium
Secret enzymes / external digestion / absorbs resulting nutrients
Erect hyphae that grow upwards from the mycelium carry their reproductive spores
Chains of spores on the erect hyphae / coloured mould visible on stored food
Break down organic matter
Plantae (plants)
Cell structure: only multicellular, eukaryotic; large vacuoles
Cell wall: cellulose
nutrition: autotrophic (photosynthetic)
Growth is restricted to meristems (layers/patches of dividing cells)
Non-motile; adapted to land / strong tissues, leave gas exchange system, waterproofed
Eg mosses, ferns, conifers, angiosperms (flowering plants)
Plant kingdom has two different types of adults in their life cycle
Gametophytes, hidden in plant / sexual reproduction forms multicellular zygotes
Sporophytes, what we call plant / asexual reproduction to form spores that germinate into gametophytes
Gametophyte (n) → gamete (n) → fertilisation → zygote (2n) → mitosis → sporophyte (2n) → meiosis → spore (n) → mitosis → gametophyte (n)
Animalia (humans, animals)
Cell structure: eukaryotic, multicellular, no cell wall
Develop form a blastocyst / embryo
Have nervous and hormonal control systems
No cell wall!
Nutrition: heterotrophic, involving a digestive system
Are motile and grow throughout tissues (no mersitems)
This maybe filmed and will be in an auditorium. Its for a sports nutrition class
The standard business suit.
Thanks

I am a 23 year old mom, and feel I need to lose about 5 to 8 lbs. I’ve been told that fish is good to eat when dieting, but was not sure exactly which ones were the best. Thanks.
salmon…..its very healthy
I would like to eat healthy but keep my weight the same. I would also like to use a healthy eating plan which is free. Any help?

I want to know of some legit online colleges that have courses for nutrition? I would like to know if the school is accredited and once I finish if I will be able to use my schooling? And is there anyone who has gone through college for nutrition and now is working?
"Global College of Natural Medicine" is a notorious unaccredited crackpot altmed school for bogus nutrition and other quackery. Avoid.
