Q. I had a night of binge drinking in which i threw up all of the vodka I consumed. After drinking water and eating some saltines, I felt better. But every occasion afterwards in which I drank (any kind of alcohol, even Jack which i drank before the incident) I have some pretty bad pain in my stomach usually during just my first drink, which has never happened before. This binge drinking happened about 3 or 4 weeks ago and this still happens to me, wussup with that, stomach?
A. Quit drinking. problem solved.
How can i lose weight in a week?
Q. im 115 and 4"10 and i wanna lose like maybe 5-6 pounds before school starts how can i lose it?

eat about 1200 calories per day. no junk.for dessert treat yourself with a sugar free fudgesicle or a sugar free pudding
exercise!! try everyday, 45 mintues of running or 35 minutes of cardio liek dancing,biking, or rollerblading. do 25 reps, 2 sets of: crunches, lower crunches, twisting[for the waistline], lunges,sqauts,and lift 5 lb dumbells.
drink ice water! it burns calories!! aim for 8-10 glasses a day.[drink alot of wwater when working out]
fill up your ipod with tons of songs to stay focused.
friends can be good for your fitness or bad. when they bring nachos over try snacking on up fat free pringles. exercise with your friends!! do a kickboxing tape[that brigns ALOT of calories], yoga,pilates, and go swimmign for a couple hours with them!! throw a party[healthy food!!] and dance the whoel night!!

Vegetarians, vegans or whatever else there is like that please help me?
Q. Ok so I am a big time meat eater, and I would like to quit eating meat and become vegetarian for diet purposes and my own personal reasons.
I have no idea what I am suppose to be doing to become a vegetarian, so anyone of you vegetarians or vegans mind helping me out on what to buy/what to eat. Thanks

A. Not a problem!
First I would like to call to your attention the huge variety of non meat foods you eat. Pasta, bread, rice, beans, fruit, nuts, seeds and vegetables can all be prepared completely free of animal products. For now just take comfort in that knowledge.
Comforted?
Ok, you've made a great first step in becoming a vegetarian; asking some one. If you want a quick start, before you go out and borrow the maximum limit on your library card and sift through hours of internet web sites (not a bad idea), I'll just let you in on a few ways to become vegetarian/ vegan.
1. you could choose to not eat a certain food category, like beef for instance or dairy, if you choose not to eat dairy, do this for about a month or three, and try new foods and recipes that omit your "bad" food. If you have a craving, indulge it, even binge on it, then the next day go back to not eating it. Next month choose another food category to abstain from, so now you are abstaining from two categorizes of food, all the while trying new foods and recipes that you didn't before. In a few months you will be a vegetarian/vegan. http://www.amazon.com/Gradual-Vegetarian-Step-Step-Eating/dp/0440215854/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1251526158&sr=1-1
2. The second choice is to change just one meal category (breakfast, lunch, dinner) or just one day of the week to not eat any meat at all for the entire meal category/day of the week. Then once you are comfortable with that, expand.
3. Stop eating meat over night. I don't recommend this. At all. A lot of people planning to be veg. think that they might crave meat, some people actually claim to. This wasn't the case for me, I simply didn't have enough creative ideas on hand to substitute my eating patterns. It's better to be gradual if you are a big meat eater, sometimes it's difficult to realize just how big the world of food really is.
If you need a list of things to buy I would put Beano at the top. Followed by a good multivitamin, and a trip to your doctor, ask them to do a blood test and see if you are healthy, if not, what can you do to correct it.
a sample of my most commonly purchased/used items, off the top of my head.
loaf of bread
hamburger buns
peanut/nut butter
jam
margarine
cereal
rice dream
vegetarian re-fried beans
vegetarian baked beans
garbanzo beans
pasta
pasta sauce
veggie burgers
brown rice
vegetarian tortillas
tofu
bag of mixed frozen vegetables (unless you are handy in the kitchen) for stir fry
carrots
celery
onions
cucumbers
romaine lettuce
salsa
garlic
olive oil
white vinegar
oatmeal
salt
pepper
soy sauce
mustard and ketchup
spinach
bananas
frozen blueberries
corn meal
Eggs
Most people rotate between 10-12 different dinners. If you try one new dinner idea for a month, perfecting it to your tastes in a year you will have all 12 different dinners. Ok, it's 11:47 pm, and i'm starting to not make much sense, so ok right. hope it goes well.

How do YOU stay on your diet?
Q. Please, I need some help.
A. 1) I'm not "dieting." I changed my whole approach to food, step by step by gradual step, starting in September 2010. If YOU are trying to be "on" a diet, you're setting yourself up for failure already. You'll also gain all the weight back as soon as you go "off" your diet.
2) Clean out your house of junky food choices and keep it clean. If you live with other people, you have to get brave enough to put your food down and say, "No more _____ in this house!" Try the book "Crucial Conversations" if you're not sure how to say that and be taken seriously. It was easy for me since my husband went right along with my new house rules, and I do all the grocery shopping anyway.
3) Don't just NIX things from your diet. Also ADD things. You'd be amazed how many healthy options are out there that you don't eat now but will really enjoy. My diet these days is much more diverse and exciting than it ever was before I quit all the bad stuff. There are just so many yummy, flavorful things out there! I highly recommend Clean Eating magazine ( http://www.cleaneatingmag.com ) as a great way to begin to introduce yourself to cuisines from around the world, tons of interesting produce and spices, and lots of cooking techniques.
4) Realize that it gets easier a few weeks in. After a few weeks, your brain's sugar addictions or sodium addictions will finally begin to break. Your tastebuds will seem to "come alive" and you'll find veggies sweeter and sweets more revolting.
5) Plan ahead. Research shows that we always make better decisions about what we want for the FUTURE as opposed to what we want right NOW. Always write your grocery list beforehand, preferably a whole day before you go to the store, and don't get anything that's not on your list (unless it's a fresh vegetable, which is always permissible). Also, plan ahead each night. Pack your breakfast, snacks, and lunch for the next day to take to work with you. Doing it in the morning makes it more likely you'll make worse decisions. Not packing up your food choices at ALL pretty much sets you up for failing miserably over horrible restaurant/cafeteria/snack machine choices.
6) Eat breakfast. Not just any breakfast. A filling one. And then gradually decrease your meal sizes throughout the day.
7) Don't quit all fats. Fats and proteins together make you feel full. If you eat nothing but "low-fat" foods, you're likely not going to feel satisfied. This in turn makes it more likely that you'll binge, since your body will literally drive you to keep eating and eating until it feels satisfied. At that point, it's your willpower left defenseless against a hungry monster. Just keep the monster satisfied with some light servings of healthy fats. I never buy "low-fat" anything, yet I've lost and kept off 45 pounds.
8) If you don't already have a faucet filter and a few reusable water bottles, do it now. There's no excuse not to. Easy access to cheap, safe water where you know you're not adding to pollution problems. You need to plan on drinking lots of water, all the time, from now on.
9) Have a plan for cravings. Some ideas: A) Always keep water with you (you should anyway), and chug 8 oz every time you get a craving. See how you feel about your craving after you have all that water. Many cravings are actually dehydration signals that we misinterpret. B) Always keep an acceptable munchy with you if you've got a nervous habit of eating mindlessly. Raw vegetables are the best: Carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, etc. C) Keep sugar-free gum with you. (Note: It's better for your waistline, but the jury's still out on what sugar-free gum does to your teeth. Dentists disagree.)
10) Plan on treats. You're never going to be successful as a teetotaler. Just like all your other planning, plan on when you get to relax and have treats. One moderate treat each weekend day is reasonable. A more lavish treat on birthdays, promotion days, major anniversaries, or to celebrate an accomplishment is all fine. Just make sure that when you have a treat, you focus purely on it and the company you're with. Savor every taste, go slowly between bites/sips, and absolute do NOT consume it in front of a television.
11) Get support from someone. This may or may not be someone doing it with you.
12) Combine your food plans with some sort of exercising. Running is the most effective/cheapest way to lose weight, but anything you LIKE doing will the best thing to do. Power-walking, dancing, tennis, swimming, whatever. Living an active lifestyle actually helps you to stick to better food choices, psychologically. Likewise, making better food choices will give you more energy that you WANT to burn. It goes together, hand in hand. If you feel sluggish, something's still wrong with your diet.
