In the USA i’ve seen a couple and i think there is a supplement called "charge it" which you can add to your drink to give you a boost throughout the day. I’m very active and don’t like all these ingredients i keep finding out about on the energy and sports drinks i sometimes use.
Any advice would be great 
Thanks.

And what constitutes "carbs" in this sort of diet (as far as vegetables & fruit go)? I’ve heard of people eating beans (high protein), but aren’t they more of a starch?
And if people DO eat a few carbs, how much?
I’ve also heard that giving yourself one (or even two, if you want to push it) cheat day a week helps. You consume whatever you want to, but your body doesn’t absorb the junk you eat because it’s still on the "dieting" part of processing. And then the next day you go back to your normal eating habits to continue the cycle…

I am thinking about starting to make my 3 rats food from scratch. Some of the ingredients in the mixes sold where I live are pretty iffy. Also, they refuse to eat everything out of the mix so I know they aren’t getting any of the vitamins and minerals they need.
I was thinking about doing a grain mix with a high quality dog kibble as well as fresh fruits and vegetables.
Does anyone have personal experience with this?

This question is only for educational purposes. I’m just curious on how the two differ (Potassium Chlorate and Potassium Nitrate).
I’m guessing Chlorate means a compound of Chlorine and something.. And Nitrate would indicate Nitrogen instead. So, how big of a difference does Chlorate and Nitrate make?

Hello, I don’t know much about vitamins and whatnot. Would it be too much vitamin D for me (6′1 140lbs) if I take a One-a-Day (700 IU 175%) and a teaspoon of Cod Liver Oil (462 IU 116%)? I hear vitamin D is good for you (though I don’t exactly know why). I’m confused as to why the daily values go over 100% as well.

I recently discovered that when I take energy weight loss supplements before a work-out that I am able to work-out longer without getting tired as quickly as I would without taking them. I tend to work-out in the evenings starting out with running. (The supplement I am taking is the Quick Trim the ISO-BURN AM.)
It doesn’t make sense. I eat a terrific diet. Only whole grains. Almost no red meat. Tons of fruits and vegetables. Virtually NO fast food (pizza, McDonalds). I am a normal weight and I exercise 4-6 times per week. I lift weights.
So why the heck is my blood sugar reading high? Everything I read about type II diabetes is that it’s caused mostly by overweight and inactivity in older people. I’m really confused and upset about this.

I am having problems with water retention, and hoping someone might have a little insight to share.
I have a very healthy lifestyle – daily exercise, approximately 100-120 oz of water a day, diet high in fiber, fruits, vegetables, etc.
Regardless of how much water I drink to flush my system (whether I try to limit or drink my regular amount), I go several weeks at a time with very high retention. I will urinate very little, my fingers get really puffy, I usually get headaches, and strange as it may be, I get really constipated (even with 30-25 grams of fiber a day). The retention isn’t just in my head, as I see a noticeable ‘gain’ on the scale as well.
I have scheduled a doctor’s appointment for this Friday, but am looking for any thoughts that can be shared in the meantime. I am concerned that the doctor won’t do anything because a doctor I saw in the past just told me to increase my water and fiber – which didn’t help even a tiny bit.
Any ideas or thoughts? One last thing to mention . . . both my mother and sister are on water pills from their doctors. So far, nobody has suggested doing the same for me though.

A healthy person is often described as someone who has a good diet,
gets lots of exercise, and avoids stress.
What do people do to stay healthy in your country?250 words
Scientists have proved that in order to be physically strong and not ill people should lead a healthy life. Leading a healthy live involves eating more fiber-rich food, regular workout, no addiction to alcohol , smoking, and drugs plus also avoiding stressful situations.
Unfortunately, according to the statistics Russian people do not lead a healthy life and as a result mortality rate is very high in Russia. The most harrowing thing that almost 75 per cent of population are addicted to smoking which can cause a fatal disease such as cancer. Moreover, Russian people are inclined to consume a quite big amount of alcohol which also harms their health.
Russian authorities pursue a police to make the nation more aware about being healthy. There are social advertisements which encourage people to stop smoking and avoid drinking spirits. There are also several campaigns to fight with unhealthy habits. For example, shops are forbidden to sell spirits and cigarettes after 10 p.m. A lot of fitness centers and swimming pools are being build nowadays.
Fortunately, the recent poll carried out among adolescents shows that there is a tendency to improve their fitness and to take care about their health. More and more young people are giving up smoking and take up different sports such as skiing, swimming, and visiting fitness centers.
As for me, I think that I am quite health-conscious. I do not smoke and never drink spirits, most of my diet consists of fruits and vegetables. I often brew green tea and try not to be physically active in one word not to be a couch potato.

The ones where you get fresh veggies and fresh fruits and juice them yourself. I want to do one. People say you don’t get protein, but what if you juice vegetables that are high in protein, and if you juice vegetables and fruits that are low (but not too low) in calories, and sugars. Some also say you don’t get the right nutrients but isn’t that the stuff we are supposed to be eating anyway?

I eat a lot of complex carbohydrates such as whole wheat pasta, brown rice, lentils, etc. My diet is very low in sugar; it mainly consists of these carb sources, vegetables, some fruit, and water. If I’m hitting at or above 100% of the DV for carbohydrates daily, is this a very bad thing for blood sugar levels and will it put me at risk for developing diabetes?
As I said, my diet is very clean and very low in sugar. I exercise daily and have a healthy weight, but I’m concerned about my high carbohydrate intake. Thanks for reading.

Okay, so i want to know how you can loose weight in a healthy way. i found this on a website when i searched it. it says to…
Cut out anything containing sugar, or high fructose corn syrup, including breads, and cereals, all prepackaged junk that contains mono sodium glutamate/hydrolyzed protein, including boxed "dinners", drink no milk, and buy bottled drinking water (store brand is just fine). You will lose 40 pounds by the end of 30 days. Eat all the fresh low carbohydrate fruits and vegetables you want.
Eat well balanced diet-max 1500 calories-take vitamins-eat low fat- do 1000 calories of aerobic exercise every day-at least 6 days a week-lift weights for 20 minutes three times a week-I am on this program as we speak and am losing on average 4-5 lbs a week.

The Vitamin C is like 1500 something, and the multi vitamin is like 100 of each vitamin.
Is that too much? What could happen?
Also, Isnt Vitamin C water soluble, so if i did take too much i would just urinate it out, right?
Some say i have to put myself into complete starvation. But some diets (like the Atkins diet plan) say you have to eliminate all carbohydrates to less than 20g per day. I dont eat meat, i know all fruits and vegetables have high carbs.
What would i have to eat to get into ketosis?
And approximately how long will it take for ketosis to kick in?
And how long can i stay in that state?
