Lower Appetite

Question: Can vegetarianism lower appetite and libido? I became a vegetarian about a month ago, and I didn't have to change my diet much since I ate meat only two or three times a week. However, quite soon after giving up meat I found that eating anything made me feel sick. Also, my masturbation frequency (I'm 16, so lack of sex life) has lowered from about every day to every four days. I feel depressed and I've lost weight, is this connected to my new diet?

Answer: No, but a nutritional deficiency definitely can. Becoming a vegetarian is about a lot more than just missing meat out of your diet. If you aren't careful to balance the remaining nutrition, it is easy to end up with too little of some nutrients, and too much of some others. Your loss of libido (sexual interest, including urge to self-pleasure) is probably a result of feeling depressed. This may have been triggered by a nutrition problem that developed when you gave up meat. Vegetarian diets are usually more healthy than those containing meat (including effects on sexual performance and desire). But that's because of the range of different foods you need to eat in order to get all the right nutrients. Eating meat can be a useful short-cut to some nutritional needs (that's probably why it became 'normal' behaviour). But if you fulfil those needs by eating the right mix of plant-based foods, you can avoid a lot of health problems that are caused or worsened by meat-eating. If you get a book about becoming vegetarian, it will tell you about the kind of nutritional problems that can happen if you don't replace the meat that you used to eat with other sources of nutrition. It might not mention libido (a lot of these books are for young people), but it will certainly make some suggestions to help you get a properly balanced diet.

Question: How can I make my Webkinz happy when it is down to 35 and lower, but appetite and health is full? I have had a Webkinz account since 2007 and I stopped in June 2009, but went back to it again about 2 weeks ago. Their health and appetite are mostly full, but I can't figure out how to make them happy! Help?

Answer: what i do to make them happy is I play tons and tons of games! after a while they should get hungry and then feed them their favorite food or a special recipe (you can find all of them at www.webkinzinsider.com) another thing to make them happy is to click on "travel agency" under the things to do menu on the right and send all of them to the spa. that might cost a lot but it takes under a minute.

Question: What are some herbs/vitamins/minerals that lower your appetite? i heard that taking 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar before you eat a meal helps to get rid of your appetite.

Answer: Green peppers, spinach, tomatoes, onions, I could go on. Eat them at every meal and you'll have a lower appetite (high in dietary fiber so they fill you up without a huge calorie load) If you like tomatoes buy some grape tomatoes and pop some in your mouth instead of a sugary treat. It'll work wonders

Question: What is wrong with my partner? bright yellow poo, lethargic, no appetite, lower back pain, belching and reflux partner used to have a substance abuse problem and still has a major drinking problems (carton of beer every 5 nights a week) and has not eaten much for 2 weeks. can also no longer tolerate alcohol even though wants one badly. no energy at all.

Answer: Your partner needs medical help, shortly put. There's a problem with the liver to say the least, perhaps the gallbladder, and also possibly the pancreas. The kindest thing you can do is take him/her to the ER. This just doesn't sound like something a roll of Tums is going to help, nor all the organic yogurt or over the counter medications in the world.

Question: How do I lower my huge appetite? I'm slowly getting fatter because I have this HUGE appetite where I just want to eat bowl after bowl of ice cream. But being pretty and slender is something I love just as much as a big bowl of mocha almond fudge ice cream! This is a very conflicting thing. Please give me advice.. Do those diet pills work much..?

Answer: diet pills only work for so long, then once you start you gain all your weight. as for your huge appetite you eat probably because you are bored. limit yourself and if you feel you are still hungry eat something healthier. also some people eat because they are bored, or when watching tv if this is the case then go out and do something, go to a friends house or go work out at the gym, or even walk around your neighborhood.

Question: How can I lower my MONSTROUS appetite? I'm a tiny girl - 5"2.5 and 100 pounds - but I have a huge appetite. I try to eat a lot of foods high in protein and fiber, or fatty like tortilla chips. But then I'll get really hungry and eat so much! It's making me gain weight more rapidly now - the fat is piling up on my underarms, thighs, and fingers. Any tips are appreciated. I heard that Hoodia Gordonii works -- hmm what do you think? Thanks

Answer: I think you should stay away from diet pills. Which will only increase your hunger when you're off them, and ruin your metabolism,as well as not being healthy to your body. If you're eating tortilla chips of course you're pigging out! Stay away from processed foods like chips and frozen dinners. Eat fresh meat, vegetables and fruits for your main sources of protein and fiber. It's not just about the nutrients, its about where the nutrients are coming from. Your stomach is used to large portions, so it has to be re-trained to feel full on small portions. Achieve this by slowly breaking up your daily intake.

Answer: The best thing you can do is eat 6 small healthy meals a day and exercise at least 30 minutes a day. Here's an example: Breakfast 7am: 2 hard boiled eggs, yogurt with granola, and orange juice or coffee Snack 9:30am: piece of fruit Lunch 12am: turkey sandwich with veggies and mustard (skip the mayo), carrots with peanut butter, water Snack 2:30pm: handfull of almods, water Dinner 5pm: 3oz. grilled chicken breast, side of asparagus, side salad with light dressing, and glass of 1% milk. Dessert: baked apple or almond butter on slice of wheat toast Exercise somewhere during the day. I like to go for a bike ride for 30 minutes and/or do some weight lifting in front of the tv. Stretching is also important. Hot tea with a little sweetener helps take away my sugar cravings.

Question: Can high cholesterol give woman lower sex appetite?

Answer: Yes, if the arteries are clogged then there's no blood getting to the va-jay-jay; thus, no or a diminished orgasm...which can contribute to a low sex drive. "Studies have shown that the width of the blood vessels leading to the clitoris in women are affected by the same kind of blockages that impact blood flow to the penis," says Susan Kellogg, PhD, director of sexual medicine at the Pelvic and Sexual Health Institute of Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia. When this happens, says Kellogg, a woman's body is far less responsive, and a drop in desire is not far behind. Complicating matters further: The more body fat you have, the higher your levels of a natural chemical known as SHBG (short for sex hormone binding globulin). It's aptly named because it binds to the sex hormone testosterone. Doctors theorize that the more testosterone that is bound to SHBG, the less there is available to stimulate desire.

I tried vitamin E and am eating tons of antioxidants for the antiinflammatory affect and can't take nsaids....so what else is there?

Answer: "Glutathione is the body's master antioxidant and best kept secret to maintaining health." Glutathione is a small molecule made up of three amino acids, which exists in almost every cell of the body. However, glutathione must be generated within the cell from its precursors before it can work effectively in the body. The presence of glutathione is required to maintain the normal function of the immune system. It is known to play a critical role in the multiplication of lymphocytes (the cells that mediate specific immunity), which occurs in the development of an effective immune response. Furthermore, the cells of the immune system produce many oxygen radicals as a result of their normal functioning, resulting in a need for higher concentrations of antioxidants than most cells. Glutathione plays a crucial role in fulfilling this requirement. Over the past thirty years, researchers have explored the role of antioxidants in good health as well as the treatment and prevention of diseases involving oxidation or fermentation by metabolic acids. Well known and widely used antioxidants such as vitamin A, vitamin E and selenium neutralize acid. They occur naturally in nature, but not in the body. They must be introduced as part of a balanced diet. Given the critical role of antioxidants in good health, it is not surprising that the body itself manufactures its own natural antioxidants. The most important of these is glutathione. Because all other antioxidants depend upon the presence of glutathione to function properly, scientists call it 'the master antioxidant. ‘Glutathione binds to toxins, forming a water-soluble complex - which is ultimately excreted in the urine or bile as waste.
