they have so many vitamins and so much protein I'd think you could.
Answer:
No, as you really need a well balanced diet with various foods including whole grains/whole wheat, fruits, vegetables and lean protein including nuts, legumes and skinless chicken. American Dietetic Association: www.eatright.orgThe new Food Pyramid: www.pyramid.gov
most power bars are full of high fructose corn syrup, which isn't good for you if you eat it all the time. Power Bars can be a good ADDITION to your diet, but you should check the ingredients. There are so many different kinds, and some of them aren't any different than a candy bar with added protein.
Youd have to drink a lot of water or you would get backed up.
no. you need real foods, foods like chicken have 10 times the amount of vitamins and minerals that a power bar has and its cheaper to! real food are better to eat period. now to eat a power bar as a snack 3-4 times of week because of lifestyle/schedule is acceptable.
Our bodies aren't designed for processed food, so when that's all you eat your body can't efficiently use them as an energy source, and it's really bad for the digestive system. Your body wants unprocessed foods...fruits, veggies, nuts, meat and whole foods.
Yeah, you could live off of them, but you wouldn't be very healthy.

Can you increase your strength by lifting a single amount of weight more times?
Let's say you're bench pressing 135 pounds. If you bench press 135 once and that's all that you can do, then 135 is your one rep max. So then you keep lifting 135 pounds over the course of weeks and months and then you gain the ability to lift 135 pounds 8 times in a row. That would mean that your one rep max is now above 135. So does this mean that the more consecutive repetitions that you can will yourself to perform, the more strength that can be derived from lifting an amount of weight? Is each marginal repetition like adding "points" to your strength level? If you are capable of lifting a weight 8 times in a row but you only perform sets of 2 reps, will strength decrease? I've noticed that it's possible to lift submaximal weight for weeks and then test your 1rep max and see an increase without ever having lifted maximal amounts during the time of the increase. Is it possible to just lift a weight more and more consecutive times and then it will correlate with a strength increase?
Answer:
If you want to increase your strength, instead of staying at 135 you would add plates.Higher reps are more for toning, not building.
If you want to bulk up your muscles you need to lift heavier weight, but less repitions. If you want to tone up, Or cut up, you lift lighter weight but more repitions.
It's difficult to have a very productive set that is fewer than 5 or six reps. If you can't lift a weight at least 5 times with strictlly controled form than you are just fooling around, stroking your ego and not on a path to serious strength gains or toward making good gains in mass. Only very occasionally would sets below five reps ever be recommended and even then it would only be at the culmination of a 7-10 week powerlifting program where target reps start near 8-10 and gradually decrease as weight gradually increases and even then such a plan would not be the way you would want to lift all the time. To see a plan like the one described check out:
strength is a technique of producing tension in the body. lifting less than 80-85% doesn't produce enough tension ./the 135 for one rep max theory seems flawed because because you bench pressing muscles are under 100% load which isn't good to do especially if its one rep and its every workout. looks like an injury waiting to happen.also, unless someone is competing in lifting,one rep maxs are of what value?over 5 rep max,pushing body to the limit for what purpose/ lifting strength is built ideally with 5-6 rep sets,80%-105% cycles./ learned what i know from book Power to the People and its so easy to increase strength, its unbelievable/about 2reps of 8rep max. ,you could even do it everyday. probably wouldn't decrease strength much,i quessing

Can you help me with my stomach problem?
Ok, I have been doing ab exercises so I can have a nice toned body. I have been doing these exercises for a couple of weeks and now my abs look really nice. The problem is I'm not 100% sure if I did the exercises properly because although they do look nice, I have got two red lines across my belly where my abs are. They look like scars, so I'm a bit worried if there suppose to be my ab lines. Also when I bend over or sit down I have three belly pooch areas and maybe that's why I have these red lines. I'm not fat because I workout a lot, I just think that I have these pooches from doing ab exercises because the pooches are the only pieces of fat I have on my stomach. How did I get these red lines and how should I get rid of them? Do I need to do exercises that target the pooches? What can I do to get rid of the red lines asap? Please I need help!
Answer:
Just keep exercising and stop looking so often - once a month is enough. It takes a while and may also be associated with specific items in the diet and genetics.

Can you help me to lose weight as fast as possible?
I am 18 years old. I have 1.59 metres and 58 kg. My sizes are 89-88-91. I think I am very fat. I forgot to mention that I am a boy. I want to look fine because the summer is comming and I am very shyto go on the beach because I lok like that. I am shy even when I go outside. Please help me! Any advice is usefull. What medicines, what sport, what regime.everything you can tell me. I mention that I had a hormonal porblem.
Answer:
honestly, if your data are correct you are by no means overweight. You BMI is 22~ and normal weight is defined as bmi between 19 and 24.
This said, fat weighs less than muscle so you might have friends with your weight and height that look thinner because they have more muscles.
IMO, you might better improve the way you look by practicing more sport than though diet.
A normal gym 2-3 times a week would be a way to start. Avoid eating directly after sport: it's better to eat 1-2 hours before and then 3-4 hours afterwards. After sport eat rather proteins, which your body needs to repair itself and to build muscles.
Avoid junk food and make sure your body gets all necessary vitamins and minerals. If you exercise regularly, take care that you drink enough water ( at least 2lts a day, more when you exercise).
A "diet" isn't too good an idea, but just stopping a little junk food intake will help, but sport is probably more important. Australian research shows that you should actually exercise 1.5 hours a day to be fit. (and probably not just walking). Drinking plenty of water also helps release energy. 2L a day.
Every morning exercise like jogging, play badminton, or volleyball.
Eat less more water.
Get plenty of rest and sleep.
Excersice and eat less, watch your calorie intake. Drink lots of water, avoid soda and caffeine. Rest enough but not too much. Take supplements with complete and balanced nutrition. I recommend Reliv. check the website at:www.NutritionalHealing.info
start with yoga as soon as possible.
Happy! Happy!

Hi, im 27 yrs old and just 3 months ago weighed 189lbs. now I'm 169lbs. I lost 20 lbs 1st because i was determined. I was determined to lose weight because i was getting married, so having a goal is number 1. Then, you have to lessen your food intake or if you wish to eat the same amount, choose your food wisely. Lastly is of course excercise. I ran 30 mins everyday, did abdominal excercises 4 times a week, did free weights at least 3 times a week, played badminton once a week for 2 hours and though at first it wouldnt be too obvious that your loosing weight, it's great when your friends start noticing. It's not easy but look at the fat guy beside you and tell yourself you dont want to be like that.

Can you help me on weith lost but with good prescriptin pills?
Answer:
No. Pills do not help you lose weight. They help your wallet lose weight. Only diet and exercise do that. you didn't put on the weight taking perscription pills nor does anyone realy gain weight quickly as these pills would have you believe you can drop pounds. Slowly losing weight is the key to permanet weight loss. Also weight loss not a temporary thing, it requires a lifestyle change. I lost 30#'s by diet and exercise and it took several months, almost a year. That motivated me in helping others seek to gain a healthy lifestyle. I kept it off over 5 years until I got pregnant now I get to look forward doing it all over again, that is the challenge. Persciption medication is never really safe look at how many lawsuits are popping up regarding perscription medications, Phen Phen is a great example.
Do yourself, your wallet, your body (you know like heart, liver and kidneys) a favor and adopt a new lifestyle and not what drug companies want you to do, believe in their hype and believe that becoming slender can be achieved by sitting on your couch and popping a few pills.
You don't really need pills to lose weight. Just eat healthier foods and exercise more.If you're looking for prescription pills, you'd need to discuss it with your doctor.

Can you help me find out something about Xangisteen juice, which is made mainly from the mangosteen fruit?
This is currently being marketed in the Malaysia/Singapore area in an Amway manner.
Answer:
my chiropractor uses it too and recommends for his clients, which turn good results.
I asked him where to get some, he gave me address below it that helps?
It is very expensive. We drank one bottle of it and didn't see any difference in our health. Didn't buy any more of it.You drink an ounce 1/2 hour before food, It doesn't taste bad, really has little taste. The link provides info from the company we bought it from.
Probably a big con. Mangosteen is a tropical fruit. Its rinds are used to make lipstick. Its color fast so don't let that get on your shirt. Local believes its yin effect balance the yang in eating durian, another malodorous fruit.
this juice has changed my life. I no longer need to take some of the medicines i did, and my quality of life is better.
It wasn't the amway brand though. It is one of over 200 spin offs of xango. That is the only one that uses the ENTIRE fruit so all of the xanthones work synergisticly. I am a customer of xango and will be for a long time.
for those of you who think i am saying this because it is set in a multi level marketing style (aloe was too, that didn't make any less popular) I am going to prove you guys wrong by saying where ever you get xango from, it will be the most important decision you will make. For reasons i mentioned, and so one wont think im just looking to make a fast buck, i wont even leave my website. Xango is popular BECAUSE IT WORKS! you are bound to find someone that can get it for you.The use of the fruit for centuries in all parts of world is enough for me to believe and use this product. One cant lie about the research. And yes there are no "double blind studies" because they only do those on DRUGS... paid for by the drug companies (hmmm?)just look at pubmed.gov and search mangosteen and xanthones or garcinone E (a element in pericarp of mangosteen recognized for outperforming chemotherapy drugs in recent tests)------------------------------
JASON: powerful testimony thanks for sharing
I have used XanGo for a year and a half now. A friend told me about it who was using it to help reduce her sickness caused by the chemo she was going through. I noticed my triglycerides were lowering (from 1600!) just taking lipitor lowered about 20 to 30 points a month. After the 3rd month i started using XanGo and with out changing diet ( my practitioner said my diet was healthy it was genetics that gave me the short end of the deal!) 2oz 3 times a day of the XanGo, along with my lipitor: month 4, trigs reduced 75 points, month 5: another 80... I got weened off the lipitor and still drop 60 to 80 a month and am lower than i have been in a long time... I ask ByeDr.com to not delete this because I am simply excercising my 1st amendment to personal testimony.
This is real and I hope one day that more people take it seriously one day. A fruit from nature shouldn't have to go through double blind studies to be taken seriously, especially since this fruit has been used for hundreds of years. look on the back of your juice, and back of XanGo. per usda regulations the main ingredient goes first. on back of many you may see water, or extracts. This company is the only one to use the ENTIRE (including all of the pericarp) Fruit. Not just part, or the white center.
The reason for the other fruits put in there, they are simply SMALL amounts mainly put in for flavoring because the pericarp itself has a bitter taste to it. The flavoring helps it to taste better (which i love especially on ice). To show im not telling just for the "money" I am not going to give my website. There are plenty of people you can get xango from. hope this helps
