Question: Do people know that tipping is a part of eating out in a full service restaurant?

Answer: Absolutely! I was raised that if you can't afford to tip appropriately, you don't go out to a restaurant; you go to McDonald's or something like that. My husband and I always tip well over 20% if we get great service. And not because we are rich either (I wish lol), but because I've been there and I know how hard it is to make a living on 2 or 3 bucks an hour. The tips are where they actually make their bills, the check they recieve might cover a utility bill if they are lucky. But people are often under the erroneus assumption that servers make minimum wage, or that any little thing that goes wrong (that is often the cooks fault) is the servers fault and that therefore they do not have to tip. If every person had to walk a mile in a waitress' shoes, or support a family doing it, they would be much more generous!

I hear teas are good....please help?

Answer: prune juice or milk of magnessia

Question: What is the difference between eating out and dining out? I'm applying for a job as a waitress and on the application it asks where my favorite restaurant is for eating out and then again except for dining out. I don't know the difference.

Answer: Dining implies a sit down, more formal type of restaurant. Eating out, means just that; anywhere that you eat that is not at home. It could be a McDonalds or Red Lobster. Hope this helps:-)

Question: What happens if you work out frequently without eating a lot? I've been working out more and more. But I haven't been eating more. I generally eat less than 2,000 calories a day. I'm 6'2", 180 lbs. Daily I ride 10 miles on a bike, run a mile, 2 max sets of hindu pushups. 2 max sets of situps and 3 sets of 10 pull ups. I know conventional wisdom says I need to eat like 9 meals a day of a dozen fruits, nuts, and what not to get up to probably 3k calories per day. But could this be wrong? Basically, I feel great, have very good energy (great energy when I get red meat) and I look great too. Has there ever been any research into this? Does anyone have any personal experience or know the effects of such behavior?

Answer: The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better: *1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities. Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight: Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. *2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement. Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs: http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/carbohydrates.html Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d *3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities. Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly.

Question: What is the best way to practice eating out? Hey all, i have a special formal outing i will be attending and i need to know the best way to practice eating out. I've never eaten out before so I need to know the do's and don'ts. Is there any special technique i should use? Is it polite to stick my tongue out? About how long should eating out take? What should I do if i spill something/have an accident? How many tines does a chilled salad fork have?

Answer: Just eat naturally as possible. Don't open your mouth and show your food to others, it's not that polite. Avoid slurping and chewing with your mouth open. Don't make weird humming noises when eating. There's no special time limit for eating, just try and stay the same pace as everyone else. But don't eat too quick; you'll likely vomit. As for the fork thing, look it up. Sorry. =[

Question: How did you start your child out on eating finger foods? I'm wondering how to start my daughter out on eating things like crackers, cheerio's, and finger foods? She is 8 months old and I have been hearing that I can give her things such as crackers and bits of bread and veggie/fruit puffs... But I'm afraid of her choking! Also when I do give her small bits of chunkier foods she gags a lot and makes some really funny faces lol! What do I do to get her used to the feeling of chunkier foods and what worked best for you? Thanks for any input!

Answer: Try Fruit Puffs- they dissolve in the baby's mouth... our son loved the Banana Puffs... he hated almost any other kinds. But at first I'd even break those in half. Then to cheerios... my son never choked on those. My son also loves cinnamon graham crackers. Just make sure the foods you let her try are small like a pea to start out with. I had to give my son baby food - and still do now- and he's 16 months... but he does sooo much better now with regular foods. But because he doesn't like textures of regular bananas yet, I give him the baby food instead. Now that he just got his molars in, he chews his food up really well. She's still young, so try those puffs for a while... then move to cheerios. Her formula or breast milk will provide the main nutrients she needs for now. Good luck, I was worried about this stage as well... my son just didn't really like textured regular foods at all, but he will eat more and more now that he's a little older... he loves trying my food... so in a few months, if you make something, try to make things like mashed potatoes (you can even try small bites of that now)... but things like that she can eat, and she might love trying different foods you eat :) I have to add-sorry- but if your daughter does choke- the food is usually very easy to grab- you take your pointer finger like a hook, and grab the food out of the mouth. I've done this a couple of times with my son (more when he was a year old) not as much now that he has those molars.

Question: How long should I wait after eating to work out? How long should I wait after eating to work-out (not including abs or core)? What about to work out my core? How long should I wait after working out to eat again?

Answer: Lately I've heard many trainers say that it's best to work out right after eating. That way you burn the fat or carbs that were just consumed and have more energy to work out. And same for eating after working out. The faster you eat after a work out, the faster the nutrients get to your body, thereby recuperating.

Question: If your hair falls out from an eating disorder will it grow back? I had an eating disorder 4 months ago and my hair started falling out in handfuls. My hair is thinner now but im eating well again. Im 25. Will it all grow back?

Answer: Yes. Take a silica beauty supplement while you are getting back on your feet, nutritionally. Think about food in terms of how many nutrients it has, and how processed it is, not in terms of how much fat, carbs, or protein or whatever it has.

Question: I work out constantly and try to starve myself do i have an eating disorder ? Im 16 years old and have been on the bigger side for a while. Im tired of it i have always been one to starve myself sometimes and i constantly check the scale. I also recently picked up the habit of working out alot. Is this something i should keep an eye on ? I don't want to have a eating disorder but i also don't mind losing the weight.

Answer: Sorry you don't want an eating disorder, because you already have one.

Question: How to stop binge eating out of sheer boredom? Im really fat, and its ALL from boredom eating, its getting too out of hand and i really need to stop it. Please help its really ruining my life.!!! Ive been fat forever, please any advice, i would like to be skinny at some point in my life before im 25.

Answer: I find that you can still snack from time to time, but make sure it doesn't take over your life. When you do snack make sure it's healthy. Find a healthy food (fruit or vegetable) that you really like. For me it's carrots! I have learned to love them, and am addicted. When I want to snack, I snack. I grab like 4 handfuls of carrots and eat away. IF you are trying to loose weight do it healthy. Try to boost your metabolism by eating six small meals a day and eats lots of fiber, protein (nuts), lean meats, and lots of fruits and vegetables. Try to cut back on junk food. #1 suggestion: RUNNING! I know most people dread it and hate it, I did too when I first started. The first two weeks were bad, I was sore, and tired and it was hard. Over time I built up to it and now I'm addicted! Just start out easy, walking a mile, jogging a mile, running a mile, then 2, then 3. Before you know it you'll be running 6-8 miles a day, and the pounds will just shed off without you knowing it. Also exersice helps to prevent you from getting cravings and hungry all the time. When you run you want to be healthy and you'll subconciously start eating healthier and less. When your bored instead of reaching for the bag of chips, lace up your tennis shoes and go for a jog...your body will thank you forever!

Question: How to cut out sugar while still eating healthy? I want to start cutting back on sugar, because I know the adverse effects it can have on health. I do plan on cutting back sweets, but I'm confused about how to get rid of sugar while still eating right. Fruits are high in sugar, and whole grain carbohydrates are converted to sugar in the body. How can I get essential nutrients while still cutting out sugar?

Answer: You cannot cut our sugar completely for the reasons you have noted--carbohydrates convert to sugar in the body. But not all sugars are the same. Complex carbohydrates (whole grains) convert to sugar at a very slow rate. So they do not cause spikes in your blood sugar which can lead to swings in appetite and overeating. You can still have fruit and whole grains. Just eat them in moderation.
