CONGRATS,Stages. I'm so happy for you. Please o,details soon. Thank God for the safe delivery. God bless you,your new baby and family.

Romeo can I drink lipton tea? I've been told it's not good for me to drink it right now because of caffeine but can I drink it say twice a week. I'm looking for an alternative to milk.

Aladunni:



thanks romeo

What's the matter Aladunni,it looks strange? What I do when exercising is that I begin with a number and work on building it. I used to do 20 reps of squats as a set(not funny) then I didn't exercise for a while but when I resumed I began with 10 squats a rep and was building to 20 squats a rep. You can do it as long as you set your mind to it. Our bodies are marvelous machines. If you do 7 now,okay. Maybe you can do that for a week then increase to 10 and in a month you'll find doing 20 squats a set to be easy as ABC. I guarantee that as long as you remain consistent. This was meant to encourage.


@cold,i dropped 6kg in 3 months. Healthy eating and exercise works,it's the consistency that matters and lack of that results in some of us having drawbacks.

Thanks Sammy

Comment - milk is becoming a no no for me

@confused,i guess you just have to drink it anyhow. Some people squeeze lemon into their water,you could try that. drinking water has been a trial for me for some weeks now but I drink it when I remember all the wonderful things it does for the body and after a while,you'll come to love the taste of water above other drinks.

@ Arly,it's well,your sister will deliver safely in Jesus name. Pregnacare is basically a multivitamin designed for pregnant women. It contain folic acid,iron,magnesium,vitamin B family etc. It can be taken berfore conception(as they claim,there's Pregnacare conception),during pregnancy and during breast feeding. I am presently using this as a prenatal drug and since it's one tablet a day,i find it easier to handle,except it makes me hungry

surgeon:

@Ejadamen

I know the difficulties of seeing medical specialists in our environment. Especially for a non-life-threatening condition. Ideally he should see a Consultant Dermatologist - they handle all skin eruptions no matter what part of the body they occur, including Venereal Disease with skin manifestations like Syphylis, for example.

He can start again with a general duty doctor, such as myself. They have a broad enough knowledge to handle easily diagnosable conditions that cut-across the different specialties.

Not a gnyae, @Eja! 

Thanks surgeon

mylove4him:

I tried jogging in one position last night but couldn't do it for 5 minutes because it was like I was gonna faint. Since my injury on my left angle, I have not tried jogging until yesterday. It was not easy as I was gasping for breath. What can I do?

I take cornflakes instead of Quaker oat when I don't want to eat breakfast or dinner. Is this healthy?

I thought oats are healthier than cornflakes. I eat oats a lot and it's low in calories. Also it depends on if you're using low or full fat milk and sugar. Use low fat milk i.e. skimmed milk and no sugar About the jogging,it'll take time for you to build endurance so keep at it.

Surgeon,thanks. I appreciate the difficulty of making an e-diagnosis. What kind of doctor will the guy go to? A general practitioner or a gynae

Hi Doc, this boils on privates is an issue. I know a guy who gets boils on his privates usually on the p e n i s just before the cap and/or on the area above the p e n i s where pubic hair is. The boils are usually pimple like,no pus,not painful,itches sometimes. Once in a while a boil with pus would appear and go. They come and go usually after a bout of antibiotics and application of antibacterial/antifungal cream. But they keep recurring. What could be the issue?

Welcome modath!

size12:

romeo,

i have been peeing a lot lately. about once or twice every hour. is this normal 

i am also introducing spinach, carrots, cole slaw, etc to my diet .ie. salads.
i know that salad cream and mayonaisse is a NO-NO.

But greens do not taste nice without some dressing on them. is it okay to put vinegar on them or some other sauce [/b]or should i just endure and eat them as they are 

i do not like wheat bread cos i do not like the way it tastes.  but i am replacing white bread with wheat bread in my diet. [b]any tips on what i can ''put on'' the wheat bread to make it a little tastier 

thanks for all your tips and posts. 

Olive oil is the recommended healthy dressing,about a tablespoon or two depending on the quantity of your salad.

In my experience,wheat bread tastes better on its own but you can try other stuff. I tried it with peanut butter(yuck!),margarine(ew!), toasted with egg(manageable). So you can try stuff and see what your taste buds like.

@ size12,you're welcome

Today

What was she thinking? Peek-a-boo

Mypeace all the best in your exams but this kain suspense you've decided to put us in,it's not fair o!

Update - experiencing different things,nausea,hunger,stomach upset,etc. It is well!

Hi peeps, welcome Aladunni This is my 2 cents,your regime looks harsh Like Romeo said,this is a lifestyle change. I've been overweight most of my life and tried different stuff but it wasn't until I started eating healthy and exercising that I saw good results. I still receive compliments till today about how much weight I lost,the compliments won't last long though but what the heck! Please do not starve yourself,it never works. One loses weight fast only to put it back on when normal eating resumes and trust me it will unless conscious efforts are made to eat healthy. That's my 2 kobo.

@ size12,it's not by force to eat beans,there's moinmoin. You might like that
