Resolved Question: Why's my friend so skinny?

Hey me and my best pal are both in uni right now. She doesn't have an eating disorder i know that for sure, because i share dorms with her :) Also she ALWAYS has some nice of food in her mouth :( Its not fair! She eats like a horse!! She must eat at least a chocolate bar a day, she eats every the way through the day and she doesn't put on a pound, shes the skinniest person i know and shes the one every the guys want. Even in bio when we were doing body tests she came out as the healthiest! I really don't know how it works. She's not an exercise freak either! I've seen her eat a whole cheesy bites pizza from pizza hut herself, and then a massive peice of chocolate fudge cake AND half a tub of ice cream! She often eats 8 mars bars in a row to! It makes me feel sick thinking about it! Once we ate what we normally ate for a week but wrote it every down including the times, and then swapped lists! In that week after eating her diet i gained 5 pounds! FIVE POUNDS! And off my diet she lost 6 and a half pounds! And i eat a healthy diet of about 1500 calories a day! Whats going on with her! How can she stay so skinny? I felt sick after eating what she normally eats. Normally she'll have Breakfast: Either omelette and 2 peices of toast, or porridge 2 peices of toast and hot chocolate. Around half ten: 15 Strawberrys 11:15: Chocolate bar Lunch: Sandwich, fruit, biscuits, crackers some marshmellows, yoghurt and coke. Around 3: Ice cream cone and a banana 5 oclock: Cup cake, chippy chips,a whole cucumber, trifle Tea/dinner: Couscous, chicken, carrots, bacon, pasta, peas, mash potato Desert: Banana split with banana 5 scoops of ice cream whipped cream, sauce and grapes tardy snack: chocolate pops And thats just a normal day! Btw, in the icecream cone there was ice cream!

Resolved Question: I have daily gruesome headaches can someone help me?

I am a 17 year old senior in High School it every started about a year ago where I would receive headaches on and off. Only recently in the past month or two I remember getting them daily and they are more severe. I try my best to eat healthy and my parents try to provide healthy food for me and eliminate junk food from the home. I have no known allergies. I exercise weekly and I am in bed by 9:00 and asleep by 10:00. I wake up every morning for school at 5:55. Ive been trying to record my diet and times of headaches more recently. For example here is today's results: Breakfast: One bagel w/peanut butter(usually have cereal for breakfast but am trying to stay away from dairy products for awhile to test if I am allergic to dairy, I already know I am slightly lactose intolerant.). At 10:00 I had an apple and then at 11:00 I had a bag a carrots. At 12:00 I had pasta w/marinara meat sauce. Around 3:00 I had some pineapple bread and then about an hour later I had a bagel. I did not eat again until around 6:30 in which I had dinner chicken w/lemon sauce and some couscous like grain. I try to drink a lot of water. I had a glass of water before school and I bring a water bottle and drink it every during school. I usually drink water every two-three hours after school. Tomorrow I will be starting to not eat wheat because both my cousins and grandpa are allergic to wheat(I've never had issues with wheat, I adore it). Back to the headaches I usually have one really bad one sometime during the day usually at some random time during the morning and I have little ones later on that just may be me being sleepy. The little ones I can handle but the big ones during the day are so bad I cant concentrate and have to just sit there and tough it out. The big ones are decently painful and they occur usually up and behind my left or right eye(guessing somewhere in the frontal lobe of my brain). The little ones last only around 15 minutes but the big ones last at little 30 min but at most 70 min. I also have bad memory, sometimes feel like the guy from the Christopher Nolan movie memento in the sense that I believe my possess memory is unreliable.(hint take this next piece of information with caution). I believe most of my headaches are during the school year from what I can remember but I don't remember having the at the very start of the school year. I wish its not stress related I dont believe I am that stressed out. I take steps to avoid being stressed(go in hottub after school), just give up on homework after a certain time has passed instead of stressing out tardy at night over it value my snooze. Here is my school schedule 1st hour- Open 2nd hour- Open 3rd hour- gym 4th hour- Fim Crit(watch movies) 5th hour- AP Economics 6th hour- AP Computer Science 7th hour- Analysis 8th hour- AP Physics B then I go home and do homework then relax. I have no clue what is causing my headaches and its becoming a real problem for me and my parents don't seem to be taking it as serious as I would like them too... Its hampering my learning and concentration. So if anyone has any suggestions to help me please respond anything is better than nothing.

Voting Question: cant figure out my bad tempered bf and I dont know if it is me or him causing the problems ! . . .?

To clip a long story short we broke up for 6 months ( 7 years together) We broke up due to him letting me down and not being reliable etc. He came back said hed changed, which I did believe as he had enrolled in college. He had been on a 'date' with a couple other women and basically he said they told him I was mad for not wanting to be with him and they wanted to be with him. So I gave it another go. Two weeks together and last night we got some ingredients to cook a lovely meal. He was doing the cooking, me the cleaning. However I was to prepare the couscous and I went into the kithen to help out. It is my flat and my kitchen and of course Ima lady so I was saying oh you should keep stirring this and let me taste that etc, etc. Maybe I was being a little annoying to him but not intentionally. He told me to f*** off quietly and I said no! Then he told me to f*** off again this time louder! I ignored him and said Im here to do the couscous and he shouted quite nasty for me to F*** off ! I was mad as I was in my possess home, in my possess kitchen and I had bought every the food. I tried to keep calm but I slammed my kitchen door quite difficult as I was upset at how he had spoken to me. He came storming through absolutely blazing, slamming doors really difficult shouting at me how f****** dare I slam doors on him and calling me an a**hole, shouting he was getting the f*** out of here after his dinner and I can make my possess dinner and I can have new years eve on my possess ! He just went on a huge tangent. He then complained he had put 10 pounds to the food bill and I should reimburse him! ( When the food came to 43.50 ) So I gave him a bottle of champagne, food, and a film we had bought and not watched just to close him up. He said I told him to leave ( which I never) and I had to give him his bus fare also as he had no change and has lost his licence. Was it me being so silly in the kitchen that caused this ? I was only playing around and not being mean or anything, just trying to help him out in the kitchen. Im confused. . .

Resolved Question: How many calories approx is in my homemade curry recipe? Any idea?

I use the following: tiny chicken breast, sliced/cubed 2 or 3 medium onions 3 tomatoes, medium asparagus (4 sticks) 2 carrots (medium) and whatever other veg I can find. I blend every the veg together with a oxo chicken stock cube with water to make a glue and add to the chicken. I then add curry spices. If the curry is too watery I will add some plain couscous and let this dissolve into the curry to give it a creamy texture. Now I know that this is good in terms of veg count (its mostly veg as I tend to use a tiny amount of chicken) but any ideas on approximate calories?

Resolved Question: Today I converted to vegetarianism! What foods should I sample or avoid?

A few months ago, I tried tofu. Last week, I tried hummus with breadsticks. For breakfast this morning, I devoured tomato couscous with black olive chunks. And I think I'd like to become a vegetarian. For as long as I can remember, I've condemned animal cruelty and believe that the slaughter of animals was heart-wrenchingly upsetting and unethical. I would shudder listening to "Meat is Murder" by The Smiths. I used to sob my eyes out watching YouTube videos of distressed farm animals being flogged, tasered and tortured until they spasmed violently and slowly died on the floor. I like reading about people adopting animals, Darwin's theory of evolution and I admire PETA's campaigns for the prevention of animal cruelty. So my questions are: What health risks could I run into for avoiding meat consumption? (Anemia?) What are your favourite vegetarian foods? What foods wouldn't you recommend to a new vegetarian? What are your personal reasons for refusing to eat meat? How difficult is it to maintain a completely meat-free diet? As a vegan/vegetarian, what foods besides meat do you avoid eating? Thank you, guys! I'm fifteen years old it it helps.

Aside from holidays of course. I know Americans like turkeys with stuffing and cranberry sauce on special holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. And I know they like to order takeaway pizzas.

I've heard Americans are really big into microwave dinners (like Healthy Choice and Hot Pockets) and I also know they like to cook Hamburger Helper casseroles and sh-- like that. I know some of them like to stir-fry vegetables and chicken and similar. Most Mexicans seem to think that Americans eat nothing but McDonalds, but I know this stereotype is not true.

Resolved Question: if you can't prove anything, then you prove everything.?

Too much mental masturbation only leads to growing hair on the inside of your skull, completely obscuring and thus making it unable to differentiate imagination from reality, so that our sensual beings become disassemble from specific brain tissues in our anatomy that keep us orientated to the gyroscopic reality of this universe. Losing touch with our gyroscopic physical compass with enough physical sensual, structural gyroscopic external reality, we will atrophy the brain tissues and separate the neuron axon connections that separate the imagination from gyroscopic based reality. Thus disassociation and madness, leading to possible permanent brain damage, permanent or temporary self intellectual sensual entrapment, temporary or permanently lost of homeostatic balance in self, not knowing where the boundaries of exorbitance are, no matter what universe you might find yourself in. Absolutes on every planes seem to guide to rigid, limited and entrapping behaviour. A rock stays mostly a rock since it is in a mostly absolute state, which is rather rigid, but as the rock is exposed to the external reality, it becomes more like sand and thus less rigid in it's potential, moving toward differentiating potentials; it actually moves in the direction toward couscous awareness potential in some way, shape or form, therefore a person who can't differentiate, and thus loses potential, moves towards becoming a rock and mostly absolute with a loss in the ability to differentiate and deconstruction of brain tissue, possibly temporally, or permanently. So having enough of our unknown external environment acting upon us actually keeps us sane and balanced, so to talk; to much, or to little uncontrolled external environment can guide to madness, brain damage, sickness, delusion, PTSS etc., permanently or temporarily. ok, this my first time using this forum, trying to figure out how to post rebuttals. after speaking to about 30,000 people in meaningful way, in my lifetime so far, I have discovered that just because I don't understand what the person is try to say , in the way they are trying to say it, and acting in a fascist way toward what the person is trying to say, would only make me an elitist and fascist in belief and action, devoid of humility and full of arrogance and self pride. I learn a long time ago, that I can be wrong about anything at anytime, anywhere. It is the mind that needs to be right, that is the most vulgar of every, I was expressing an opinion, not an absolute conclusion. While every human being communicated in their possess unique bastion, it is interesting to look who are the humble from the arrogant, in my opinion of course. Question every authority, especially your possess, this I believe will guide to progress, enlightenment and eventually a higher level of world peace. It is very interesting to look , the "know it every's" arrive out and show their mental addictions, as I look it., but then again, I could be wrong, words that some of my respondents probably don't use too often, but then again, I might be wrong my thanks to the individuals who are trying sincerely to understand what I am try to convey, because I read your words and sincerely try to understand what you have to convey. Thank you for trying and thank you for you feedback someone just told me that my opinion was not philosophical at every, wow, I have never in my life had someone say that to me before, they also summed up what philosophy was in basically one sentence, I have never seen that before either. It seems to me that any book, author or philosopher that I have read, was like journeying into another universe. I'll have to rethink my whole existence because of him, okay done, after helping heal thousands of people, psychologically, spiritually, philosophically, I stick to learning from my balanced uncontrolled external environment, it really has so much more options and potential than a couple of sentences from just one person. I sort of tutor people to think for themselves and admit to their mistakes and be their possess heroes. From what I have leaned, true individuals are difficult to read, because they are unique, so you have to pay close attention. Whereas pseudo intellectuals and pseudo philosophers are a dime a dozen and very transparent, me thinks the basic alternate explanation is that boundaries don't exist, until they are proven to exist. Thus a person goes on believing in what ever they want to believe in, until the boundaries in the physical world catch up with them. That is how a baby and toddler learn, the physical world is always catching up with them promoting their growth. 75,000 years ago, a human tribe somewhere in the world was run more by what they could not prove, then by what they could prove. What they could prove was little in comparison to what they could not prove. The unknown boundaries where much greater then the known boundaries, so imagination in the unproven was paramount, thus the unproven became the proven and was followed as if it were fact. There are only two things that keep a human sane and psychologically healthy, a certain degree of predictability and a certain amount of power over you and your environment. People 75,000 ago had to believe in the unknown boundaries in order to stay sane. to the person who asked me to simplify what I am trying to say, I really am trying to simplify, what I believe is a complex ideas and train of thought, influence by positive and negative feedback, abstract ideas are not so easy to simplify. I wish that I will receive better at it, keep on reading please, it might evolve into something easier and clearer, but somethings take a lot of word to properly express. That is why poetry is so powerful. Thank you bwinwnbw, your response is poetic and to our point, my question was to twist out of the comfort zone and expand horizons, for those who pick to do so, it was a philosophical exercise to promote possible enlightenment. Thank you once again, you look, I have a learning disability and organizing my thoughts on paper,so to talk, is ridiculously difficult for me, without my computer, which only exists because someone twisted out of their comfort zone, is why I could participate here. Thanks for the summation.

Resolved Question: Can adding boiling water to brown rice make it edible?

Rice takes so long to make it's frustrating. If you treat it like couscous and add boiling water to it (then leave it for a bit) will it at least cease it from being so difficult? If this is not possible after I've cooked brown rice how long can I refrigerate it for?

Voting Question: Carbs, Cals or Fat? which one am I meant to be cutting down on?

I've clip out every wheat and most dairy...but from checking out various websites, I look now that it is fat I'm meant to be cutting down on? does that mean I can't have my handful of fattening nuts? this is so confusing. I can have low cal food, but if it's too high in carbs that turns to fat. but then I can't eat anything with fat in it either? on another note (yes, two questions in one but you don't have to answer the following), is this ok amount to eat in a day? I count about 1000cals and 50carbs but as usual I could be wrong! 2ricecakes with thin slices of full fat cheese and lunch ham. sml can tuna in sunflower oil fillet of salmon 50g couscous handful of nuts chicken breast THREE spoons of sugar with my tea :( can't help it... what do you reckon? is it ok? thanks for any insight you can offer into which one I should be counting. thanks don't know why pony and jonny have thumbs downs but thanks for the insight.

Resolved Question: I'm at a loss! Please help us!?

My sister called me this morning to tell me her daughter told her a close relative of ours has AIDS and they have known they've been sick for over a year now. I'm in shock, I wanna extend my adore and concern. I thought me and my relative were close and we could talk about anything. I'm confused as to why they didn't reach out to me. I have always known about there life style although they didn't know that I knew. I'm trying to wrap my mind around this I really just want to here it from them so I know it's a reality. I have never seen them take any meds or be extra couscous or anything. But I'm told that they are showing signs of depression like crying at any given time being withdrawn when they are a lively person. And when I saw them over the weekend they were talking positive they even went to church with me and had a good time. I don't know what to do to reach out. I almost feel like calling a family meeting and putting everything on the table but at the same time I don't want to create an uncomfortable situation for NO ONE. Yet I don't wanna find out that they have died and I didn't do what I could do to help them. I'm not a judgmental person and they know this so why have they chosen to keep this from me. We have an open relationship. The person they did confide in is a manipulator and you can't trust them as far as you can toss them, but would they lie about something like this. My relative is coming to my home next week for a few days and I wanna know is this the time for me to flat out ask or what. Before this info got out ppl were guessing why they were depressed so I took every those scenarios and gave them suggestions on what they could do and they still never expressed to me that they have AIDS wasn't that there opportunity to talk to me then. I don't wanna sound greedy but I just need conformation and understanding of how I can help them and help my family. I do understand that to admit this illness would mean to admit to there lifestyle but is this going to be a GRAVE SECRET?
