"Lose weight"... is it possible that on a subconscious level people fear "losing" or "loss" ?
Q. fear of losing or loss results in people not being able to "lose" weight? Is their any evidence you can think of that might support this? Thanks :-)

A. Yes it's true. I know of someone who lost alot of weight in the summer but didn't realize how much until "fall" came and she tried on her jeans. They practically fell right off her. She got scared but didn't know why and immediately started eating as before. She said that it was as if she became a different person and she didn't like it.

How many pounds lost is classified as "extreme weight loss"?
Q. I have read that you can get stretch marks from extreme weight loss. I plan on losing about 25 pounds...am I at risk for getting more (than I already have)??
Asked by callybumble - Mon May 3 21:42:10 2010 - Diet & Fitness - 1 Answers - Comments
A. Hello. Many people are interested in this answer so I will give you the truth once and for all. The truth is ye extreme weight loss can give stretch marks. But, if you are only planning on losing 25 pounds I wouldn't consider this extreme. Extreme would be anything over 50-75 pounds and even then the stretch marks would be minimal. Extreme weight loss more is for people looking to losing over 100 pounds in most situations and often times you will see many of these people with stretch marks. The most important thing is a new healthier body!

A. First let's learn how fat gain occurs, which is being in a hypercaloric state for a period of time. If your BMR(basel metabolic rate) is 1500 and you have a daily energy expenditure of another 250 that leaves you burning 1750 calories a day. If you eat exactly this amount(called eucaloric state) then you will not gain but maintain weight. However if your eating say 2000 calories when your requirement is 1750 calories/day then you are 250 calories over(this is called being in a hypercaloric state). Now over time 250 adds up... These excess calories usually are converted and stored in fat cells(fat cells hold stored energy). 1 pound of fat has roughly 3,500 calories, so stay in a hypercaloric state for 2 weeks you should gain about 1lbs(give… [cont.]

A. Our body goes into conservation mode when we eat a low calorie diet every day. This is an age old response to guard against starvation. There are two things you can do to 'trick' your body into losing weight again. First, vary your calorie intake day to day. Have a high day one day, and a low day the next. Even a change of 300 calories can make a difference, but it can be more, depending upon how much you now weigh and what your requirements are. Second, boost your exercise. This will help burn the fat. To burn fat you need cardio, brisk walking, swimming, jogging, bicycling, etc. If you are doing 30 min, step it up to 45, then eventually an hour. It will get your body losing again. And finally, has anyone noticed the spammer with the… [cont.]

I doubt it's anerexia etc. but it's worrying that he keeps telling me he wants to lose "just a few more kg's" What can be done about this? I don't think it's a disorder but it's not healthy or normal, and i don't know what I can do.

A. It is obvious that weight has become an obsession with your friend, that he is so intent upon losing the excess poundage that he is carrying it too far. If you go without food for a certain length of time, you lose the fierce hunger and, although your body cries out for food, you can ignore it. The big problem in dieting is not losing the weight. Determination, adherence to a strict regime of one kind or another will work. The biggest hurdle is keeping it off. Your friend knows this, so he is still dieting long after he could ease up a bit. I think the answer lies in nutritional education. Give your friend some pamphlets and books on proper diet. Show him that eating rationally will keep that weight off, without the problems of starvation.… [cont.]

Dose Glipizide for Type 2 Diabetes cause weight loss?"?
Q. My grandmother is on Glipizide and appears to be losing weight. She is thin and dose not need to lose weight.

A. Most diabetic medication cause a weight GAIN, because the body is better using the blood sugar -- and that includes converting excess to fat. Your grandmother needs to consult with her doctor. weight LOSS is a sign of majorly out-of-control diabetes. if your grandmother is "non-compliant" (not following doctors orders concerning diet and exercise) then the Glipizide may not be working, and her diabetes is getting WORSE.

At what point does "unexplained weight loss" become "substantial unexplained weight loss"?
Q. I know that one of the symptoms of some illnesses is "substantial unexplained weight loss". I've lost 10-15 pounds recently without trying at all, but I'm also aware that my lifestyle has changed a lot recently (done with college, basically), so I'm not sure whether to even pay attention to it. I weighed around 135 before college and got up to 175 during college, and now I'm at 160, so I'm thinking I have a long way to go before I need to start worrying or caring. Over about two months, Max, so a fair amount of time. And nope, no risk for HIV here I'm glad to say.

A. Sounds like your diet or your activity level has changed since you are no longer in college. If you were only 135 before you started college, then it sounds like you don't have anything to worry about. On the other hand, a substantial weight loss is one of the signs of HIV. If you participated in any homosexual activities or intravenius drug use while in college, then HIV is a definate possibility. If you didn't, then I'm sure you are OK and the weight loss is just being caused by your change in lifestyle.
