A. Im doing the 1200 diet i think its fine as long as your eating plenty of foods and veg!!
Ive lost a total of 3 stone so here are my own tips from experience:
An important thing (for me!!) is to track down all my food..whether its down on paper or on a word document...anything... because sometimes you don't realise how much your eating and how calorific the food really is...everything adds up so thats my number 1 piece of advice! If your looking for a calorie counter i use a brilliant one on www.makemyplate.co that counts up all your calories on plates in a visual diary. Its great because you can interact with other users and get inspirations off of them. Also it tells you how much you should lose and you record everything you eat in a diary!!
So tip number 2: Fill up your plate with as much veg as you like. Veg is full of fibre vitamins and minerals and is extremely low calorie. Because of this you will feel satisfied and not binge on other foods. A flapjack has about 400 calories and a big tuna and egg salad has 300....which one will fill you up more??
Tip 3: Snack on FRUIT. Its the best snack you can ever munch on. Apples particularly as they fill you up no end, if you eat one 15 minutes before your meal they say that you eat 20 percent less than normal. Also low calorie and packed full of vitamins and minerals.
Tip 3: Balance your plates with proteins carbs and veg. Whether the protein is from nuts meat or eggs etc, its a must in your diet to stop you craving other foods and giving you that energy boost. For example eggs for breakfast is great as it keeps you full till lunchtime. Sugary cereals on the other hand leave you craving foods all morning making you lose concentration!!
Tip 4: Portion size is important. I always said that its not what you eat to a certain extent but how much you eat. Theres nothing wrong with a packet of crips or a chocolate bar its if you have 4 of them!! If your restricting your calories its fine to have a cake every now and then but write it down... don't go over your calorie intake of the day and your fine!!
Tip 5: Forget the processed stuff stored in supermarkets/shops, its full of additional salts and sugars that will leave you unsatisfied...and normally are packed with unnecessary calories and lack of fibre..
Tip 6: THINK NATURAL....nuts, fruits, fish, chicken, vegetables... forget the additional sauces.. for example mayo (1 teaspoon) has 100 calories..whats the point? You may as well eat a kitkat instead!!
You'll lose weight if what your eating is less than 1500 cals approx..check it out on www.makemyplate.co. you can put all those foods on plates in your diary and it will count how many calories and nutrition exactly in your entire day. Then you can find cool alternatives to what your eating and check up if its good for losing weight...
Good luck and hope that helps!!!!

What is the uk's official diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa? I heard it had change...?
Q.
A. We're still going off the official DSM IV criteria but yes, this ARE set to change. For example, under the current criterion, to be diagnosed as having anorexia nervosa, a female must have stopped having periods. That is absolutely not the case because many people can still have periods at a very low weight.
There are, however, subtypes now. Rather than just a broad spectrum of 'anorexia' or 'bulimia', there are purging and non-purging subtypes, and restricting and non-restricting subtypes.
The changes will benefit many. They'll be a long time coming.
The currect criteria are:
DSM IV-TR Criteria for Anorexia Nervosa
Criteria
â¢Refusal to maintain body weight at or above a minimally normal weight for age and height: Weight loss leading to maintenance of body weight <85% of that expected or failure to make expected weight gain during period of growth, leading to body weight less than 85% of that expected.
â¢Intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, even though under weight.
â¢Disturbance in the way one's body weight or shape are experienced, undue influence of body weight or shape on self evaluation, or denial of the seriousness of the current low body weight.
â¢Amenorrhea (at least three consecutive cycles) in postmenarchal girls and women. Amenorrhea is defined as periods occurring only following hormone (e.g., estrogen) administration.
Type
â¢Restricting type: During the current episode of anorexia nervosa, the person has not regularly engaged in binge-eating or purging behavior (self-induced vomiting or misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas).
â¢Binge-eatingâpurging type: During the current episode of anorexia nervosa, the person has regularly engaged in binge-eating or purging behavior (self-induced vomiting or the misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas).

What are the side affects of lexapro?
Q. Is there any weakness drowzyness
A. from wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexapro
Escitalopram (trade names Lexapro, Cipralex) is the pure (S) enantiomer of citalopram and is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Escitalopram is used in the treatment of depression and anxiety.
The side effect profile of escitalopram is close to that of other SSRIs, with nausea, somnolence, and gastrointestinal side effects reported as relatively common. Escitalopram, like other SSRIs[14], has been shown to cause sexual side effects in many patients. Escitalopram is not associated with significant weight gain. For example, 0.6 kg mean weight change after 6 months of treatment with escitalopram for depression was insignificant and similar to that with placebo (0.2 kg).[15] 1.4-1.8 kg mean weight gain was reported in 8-month trials of escitalopram for depression,[16] and generalized anxiety disorder.[17] A 52-week trial of escitalopram for the long-term treatment of depression in elderly also found insignificant 0.6 kg mean weight gain.[18] Escitalopram may help reduce weight in those treated for binge eating associated obesity.[19] It may also cause dizziness after exercise in children.[citation needed]
A meta-analysis of clinical trials database conducted by the escitalopram manufacturer Lundbeck found no indication that escitalopram would provoke suicidal behaviour compared with placebo in patients with major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders, on the contrary, suicidal thoughts in the escitalopram group were significantly decreased.[20] An analysis conducted by the FDA found a statistically insignificant 1.5 to 2.4-fold, depending on the statistical technique used, increase of suicidality among the adults treated with escitalopram for psychiatric indications.[21][22][23] Similarly, the UK MHRA data indicate an 80% increase of suicide-related events, not reaching statistical significance, in the escitalopram vs placebo patients.[24] The authors of a related study note the general problem with statistical approachesâdue to the rarity of suicidal events in clinical trials, it is hard to draw firm conclusions with a sample smaller than two million patients.[25] A single case report described a patient developing suicidal ideation after beginning treatment with escitalopram, and suicidal ideation disappearing after stopping the treatment.[26]
Escitalopram should be taken with caution when using St John's wort
