Free Dieting Knowledge Base
While dieting, are sugar free energy drinks significantly less destructive than regular? I’ve heard in passing that despite being labeled as “diet”, and having 0 calories listed under the nutritional facts, diet sodas aren’t all that much better than regular sodas. Does anyone know how valid this is, and what the evidence behind it is? With that example out of the way, the main question: Does the same thing apply to lightly carbonated, sugar free energy drinks as well? And should someone dieting avoid indulging?
Teens, Would you prefer a free telephone conference call or a podcast on "How to lose weight without dieting"? I have a weight loss company for teens and want to do a free call or podcast for teens on "How to lose weight without Dieting." I'm wondering what would be better, a free conference call or a podcast. I appreciate any answers. The following are examples of problems I help teens resolve in order to lose weight (it is not a typical weight loss program). Do I eat for emotional or external reasons (boredom, procrastination, lonliness, sadness, body dissatisfaction, even happiness, because the food tastes so good, because my friends and family want me to eat, because food is expensive so I have to eat it all, because children are starving in the world, etc.) Do I eat to cope with stress? Do I binge eating? Is it possible for me to feel fabulous about myself at my current weight as I am losing? Our mission is to help teens to stop dieting (it only works for 1 of 100) and how to permanently solve their problems of excess weight. Thanks! Kim Hiatt, Ph.D. http://www.thinfromwithinkids.co

Can anyone give me realistic ideas for feeding a 12 yr old boy a gluten free and casein free diet? My son was diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome at five yrs old. I have read a few things that said a poor diet can increase his problem, but that some people have had luck in diminishing tics with a gluten and casein free diet. SO, if you are on a diet like that, could you let me know what kind of foods a 12 year old could find tolerable, being that he is used to the typical American diet. Any info will be much appreciated!

Are there any free diet websites the give you meal plans? I was told by a doctor I have to go on a low fat diet. He gave me some pointers, but I think it would be easier if I had a meal plan.

What are 5 essential "survival" ingredients for gluten-free diet?

What are approximately 5 must-have ingredients to have around the house for celiac sufferers?

If I always have a few basics around that I can reach for when I need to eat, I'm less likely to cheat on the diet.

Has anyone had a child with chronic ear infections and tried a lactose free diet to try and prevent them? I have a 3 year old whp gets chronic ear infection (1 a month) and doctors have told me that grommets will do no good. I am at my wits end with her as her bahavior is TERRIBLE when she has an ear infection and she is in pain all the time. I have heard that a lactose free diet may help, wondering if anyone has had a similar problem and if a lactose free diet helped?? Thanks everyone for your advice. The ENT spec said that she doesnt have glue ear so grommetts will not help. He suspects she has allergies and said to try antihistimines to keep her nose clear, the only problem is that she get ear infections without any warning(no runny nose etc) so this really isnt a help.

dieting....with free days? i am currently dieting and exercising (ie: 30 minutes of treadmill every weekday). now on the weekdays i am fine, i can control my urges to not eat fatty/greasy/sugary/bad foods. so far ive lost like 5 pounds in 2 weeks. now on the weekends, its a different story. on the weekends i always have an urge to splurge. i just want to eat whatever looks good. i figured that saturdays and sundays arent bad. they might as well be my free days. but then i start feeling guilty when i eat unhealthy on the weekends. are free days bad for you or is it ok?
Need to lose 70 pounds (aiming for 5-7 months - if poss) Carb free dieting, losing weight and feeling happy??? OK, some of you are going to be like 5-7 months? Are you smoking crack? I was 120 and now I am 190. I feel like poop and I want tolose weight and I also want to feel good. This isn't just about the way I look but the way I feel. Carbs make me cranky! I did Atkins before and lost 30 pounds within a summer with very little exercise and some cheating here and there (fried foods, breaded chicken, etc) Like MOST people I want to lose weight this year and I want to be strict but real about it. Weight Watchers - made me cranky and it's very carby. Atkins - will power (dude, I gotta develop it eventually) but the protein made me feel great and clear my skin and I lost it quick. QUESTION : If I go on a basic induction based way of life (with some fruit here and there if it's needed for some situation) how fast can I lose these 70 pounds? I know it's better for it to be slow, but the sooner I get thinner the better my mind will feel and it will help encourage me to say buhbye to chocolate and YEAH I gotta exercise (joining the gym and doing pilates at home). Any other exercise I should know about, please let me know!

Gluten free diet help me? I had alot of problems as a kid. (I am 13 now) When I was 8, a physcologist diagnosed me with ADD, a mood disorder and depression. I also had bad stomach cramps. They suggested taking Retilin and prozac, and other crap drugs. My parents refused, and my mom suspected I had a gluten sensitivity, so she started weaning me off gluten. My mood disorder "dissappeared", I didn't feel depressed anymore, although I still fidget, and have alot of trouble concentrating, I am not as overly hyper as I was. The change was dramatic, but it took a couple years for these problems to go away. So i guess what my question is..... Was it the gluten free diet that did this, or is it possible to grow out of mental illnisses? The reason I am asking this is because I have ADD, and I am wondering if its worth going on the diet again to see what happens. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Sugar-free vs. carb-free, which diet is better? My husband has high blood pressure and wants to lose 20-30 pounds. We did a fast with our church that was extremely strict(i.e. no sugars, carbs, meat, dairy, etc) and he felt great after the first two weeks. Problem is I felt miserable and we have two children who hate trying new things. I want to start cooking better and he insists that a carb-free diet will help him shed the weight and lower his blood pressure, but I have also heard the same benefits can be achieved through a sugar-free diet, which would help everyone in the family. Has anyone tried these diets and can attest to the benefits of them? There are plenty of books out there but I haven't found one that seems to have the answers I need. So I figured I would seek those who have been there-done that! Thanks everyone!
Is a low fat/fat free diet good? Does it work? Hey, I'am on a low fat/fat free diet. I weigh 175 lbs and I'm also counting calories as well as I can. I read somewhere that being on a low fat/fat free diet isn't good and it just makes you fatter. Is this true? I mean the only fat I eat is meats and breads and stuff because they're good for you. But I stay away from ice cream, sugary foods, and cream cheese and yogurt and stuff. I drink fat free milk. And I eat lean cuisine. I'm also exercising daily. Will this help me lose weight? Or is low fat/fat free not the way to go?

100% fat free diet. Please help!? Hello! At first this might now make sense, but you'll find out soon what my question is! :p These last few weeks I've been watching what I eat and I've been avoiding (successfully) everything and anything that contains fat. I'm following a 100% natural diet (vegies, and fruits) prepared in different ways without using any type of fats. I've been losing weight so that's good! I've been reading about anorexia and i've read that sometimes liver/heart, and other type of organ failure is caused because people who suffer eating disorders do not eat any type of fats; and since the body needs some fats to burn after they are done with carbs, they use the little fat in our heart/liver and other organs to burn it causing liver/heart failure. So the REAL question is, if i go on a 100% fat FREE diet (vegies, fruits) will my liver/heart, or other organs fail to function properly and then ultimately cause my death?
