QUESTION:
I drank Dark Dog Energy Drink and my head started to hurt every morning?
I'm 13 years old, I don't have a high blood pressure, I'm not those kids who eat sweets like mad, but I drank a Dark Dog Energy Drink (Lots of caffeine) and my head has been starting to hurt like hell every morning.
I get up and I feel nothing, until I come to my Classrom at about 8 AM the pain starts..
Neither I have Sinusitis, because I don't even sneeze or feel my own scum. I've got to take an Aspirin or Ibuprofen every morning which is bad because they're drugs... and sometimes even that doesn't help too much, it reduces the pain, and at about 7 PM it stops.
I'm constantly drinking Soda or drinks like Pepsi so I doubt it could be because of low percent of water...
What it is?

• ANSWER:
  You are at age 13, already becoming addicted to caffeine - the most commonly used drug in our society!! Pepsi, Coke and any other cola drinks and some other sodas also have caffeine in them - sometimes a lot - and TONS of sugar.. so you ARE a kid who "eats sweets like mad" if you drink soda pop. Your headaches are probably the result of a) an "after caffeine crash", and b) perhaps also not enough water: any drink with caffeine in it, will cause you to pee more - so you lose more water than you take in!!

  My advice: cut out caffiene and sodas completely - go cold turkey. Drink water, juice (but only natural fruit juice, not the other fake ones, which are mostly just flavored sugar-water), and you can start trying herbal teas: peppermint, for example, tastes NICE and perks you up also - a couple of cups of peppermint tea in the morning can really help you stay focused in school.

  There is one easy way to tell if you are getting enough water (and again, energy drinks and sodas don't count...): your pee should be almost clear: if it is more than just a bit yellow, you need more water. This will give you much more energy, believe me!!

  Finally (for now at least!), make sure you get enough sleep: at your age you need at least a SOLID 8 hours per night - any less and you will not be as alert and full of energy as you could be. Teenagers actually need more sleep than 10 year-olds, because your brain and body are growing and changing so quickly that they need extra sleep time for repair and renewal and growth.

  I am sure if you put this advice to work, in a couple of weeks you will be feeling MUCH better!!!

QUESTION:
I think my dog may have eaten some dark chocolate..?
When I came home I found a wrapper from a dark chocolate bar on the floor along with some things my dog had torn up. The last I saw it, there was a chunk (about 1/8 ounce) left in the wrapper.

I also found a small pile of vomit with a chunk of raw onion at the top.
Seems like the dog got into the trash while he had the house to himself.

Anyway he's acting kinda low on energy compared to his usual hyper self, he's walking with his head down and sitting in a ball by himself. It seems like he doesn't feel to well.. he's still playful and stuff though.

I gave him some dog food but had trouble getting him to drink, though he might not be thirsty. Also it seems like his stomach might be twitching a little bit.. it's going in and out slightly like he has mild hicups.

I was wondering if any of this is synonymous with chocolate poisoning, and if anyone knows how much chocolate it takes for a dog to get sick, if I should take him to a vet, etc.

Thanks.

• ANSWER:
  Take him in. Worst case scenario they'll pump his stomach and give him fluids via IV. Best case, they'll tell you he's fine.

QUESTION:
Dog has dark red, almost black gums?
My dog has been acting strange, she has been really tired and has a few sores on her legs. I just checked her gums and saw that they are extremely dark. I don't know her normal gum color, though. We spent the weekend at a cabin by the lake, and she did lots of swimming, much more than she usually does. Does exercise have anything to do with the gum color?
She is a black lab, 2 1/2 years old, and she is still eating, drinking, peeing, and pooping normally. Please give me an answer, I'm worried.
Also, she had energy all weekend, but when we were at home Sunday night, she seemed tired.

QUESTION:
dog stool - solid but black?
My choc lab had very dark, almost black stool this morning. She's eating and drinking fine and her energy level is also normal. Should I be worried. There were no sign of blood in her stool. Does the stool turn dark if the dog has been holding it for a long time (overnight)?

Thanks

• ANSWER:
  In simple terms...
  BLACK= blood. Blood= problem needing vet attention.
  There is one exception that I have found to this rule...fresh liver aka lambs fry. Liver is just full of blood and occaisonally I give half a raw one to my medium sized dog (on consective days to use it up)- when I do it causes black tarry stools just like blood affected ones.

  If you are not feeding the dog liver then I seriously suggest that you go get the dog looked at as soon as possible. Both human and doggy illnesses can usually be fixed if you get them early enough but left untreated can be fatal.

QUESTION:
How come vets say never to fed a cat food to a dog, as it too high in protein & fat? ?
How come vets always tell you never fed cat food to a dog as it is
Cat food is too high in protein and fat for a dog.
The recommended protein for adult cat is 30%!?

How come then that many holistic, organic and natural dog food contain 35%+ protein, some contain 42%protein and other contain 52%protein? Yet are apparently safe to feed, without causing kidney damage? I have numerous vet tell me that high protein leads to kidney failure and i also read plenty of information from people who have fed these dogs, these high protein diet and have gotten damage kidneys? here is just one website-
Here is one of the review

Please be aware that this IS a great food, but is very HARD on the KIDNEYS!! Especially in small breeds. We have a 5 yr old Shih Tzu. He is allergic to EVERYTHING, Innova Evo, Chicken was the best with the least allergens. It did reduce the poop, not that his tootsy rolls were and issue any ways compared to my lab. It does make the coat beautiful. We almost lost our Shih Tzu though. This food and this food alone was the cause of my babies Kidneys nearly shutting down. It was AWFUL! We had to go through Many days and night at the vet and weeks of IV fluid therapy at home and loads of money at a vet to fix this problem. His Kidney is forever damaged. Innova is a great food and I still tell people, just check your fur babies kidney levels periodically to be sure everything is functioning normally. As in everything, this was MY experience, just sharing

I have been using EVO for about 3 months for my 9yrs old 50lbs mix breed. First Chicken formula where she gained so much weight I decided to switch to reduced fat formula. I did see a great improvement in less shedding. I switched foods very slowly and am now on the reduced fat completely. In the last week she has become severely dehydrated and is drinking so much that she urinated in the house twice (hasn't done this in 8 years). She has also suffered from terrible upset bowels. I have her on rice now to calm the stomach but I am going to have to switch foods. Her symptoms are the same as the pom listed in a previous post.

When I first got my pom I had him on the red meat formula due to his chicken allergies, shortly thereafter he was inhaling water as though he was severely dehydrated, his stools were foul smelling and dark and he was urinating everywhere. We kept him on this diet for a full week to give it a shot but with no improvement. I think this may be great for working breeds or very active dogs but the protein levels were much too high for my house dog.

TeresaG (31)
I recently responded to this food as just Innova, and not EVO ~ so I need to say, while the ingredients are good, please be aware that the ADULT food is 42% crude protein. That is VERY high for most dogs, so if you do not have a Working Dog ~ ie. Hunting Dog, Police Dog, etc. just be careful about the weight if you have a not so active dog.

We started feeding evo to our Toy Manchesters on the advice of a customer who was showing our dogs..at first it looked good,,less poop better haircoat...but in time we had problems with patchy hair coat, and frequent urination...all tests were negative for any mange, thyroid etc...after removing from evo it was a turn around..it is dangerous for small active house dogs..

howlingwolf (0)
Fed my Great Dane+Rottweiler mix dog this food for 1 year. During that time, she would eat grass all the time, fart a lot, be hungry all the time, beg a lot, poop a lot and have diahorrea occasionally. My dog is a very high energy dog that plays fetch everyday for an hour and a walk for an hour. She started urinating in the house involuntarily and I took her to the vet. Vet said the protein levels are too high in the blood, kidneys are under a lot of pressure and asked me to stop feeding this food. My rationale: If 42% protein in this food is not for a high energy and athletic dog like mine, then what kind of a dog is this suitable for! Although the ingredients are good, protein levels are too high for any dog and most of it is not digestible. So this food is not good. Reviews from people who fed their dogs this food for more than 8 months have not been good. So please use the brain cells you got and analyse and stay away from this food.

QUESTION:
What should my dogs 'spay' incision look like after a week?
It's dark brown and really scabby looking. It looks pretty gross. I have been keeping an eye on her though, and she acts completely normal, and is playing around with our other dog as ususal. Still eating and drinking and has plenty of energy (husky). Just want to make sure she is ok, as it's Saturday and I can't call the vet til Monday.

• ANSWER:
  She is fine. Scabs are a good thing - scabs signify healing.
  I kept a close eye on my eldest female's incision because I had never owned a female prior to her since I was a kid - her incision was generally a little brown nearing the end of it all. I wouldn't be concerned unless the incision opens up at all or it starts to puss and bleed.

QUESTION:
First time dog owner worried about sick dog.?
His nose is very dry and he has diahrea. He will not eat his dog food, I got him to eat a little bit of roast beef then hid the rest in his normal dog food and he still refused to eat it. I haven't seen him drink anything either. Normally he is a very hyper dog, his is a 1 yr old Jack Russel, Foxterrier, and Poodle mix he has energy for days and does not quit running. I let him out of his crate to take him on his walk and he usually goes crazy running around. He was outside rather late last night and it was close to 30 degrees. He doesnt seem to have any energy, while on his walk he seemed to have trouble urinating and usually marks anything he can due to being an unfixed male. He only urinated one time and it was dark yellow and only pooped one time and it seemed to be all water. He hasnt had any change of diet and was fine yesterday.

I am a first time dog owner and am just concerned about my dog please help me out.

QUESTION:
Very Active Dog..Food Adding?
Hi, i have a 4 year old intact male reg cattle dog. He is VERY fit and VERY VERY active. I do fly ball and agility with him. As well as working on the ranch i live on, so daily he works 2500+ head of cattle and 400+ sheep. I do utility level obedience training with him. I jog with him every morning, and in the after noon I bring him down to the lake where he goes swimming for 2-3 hours, playing fetch and Frisbee, as well as jumping off the dock. And 4 times a week we go to the local dog park and he plays with all the dogs there. I do go horseback riding daily and he follows along on the trail rides, or on the quad or dirt bike which ever i take. However, he still has energy even after all that. The past week on the way down to the lake, i have let him run beside the vehicle (off leash), normally about 25-30kms. And let him choose the speed. He loves it. He could do it for hours, however, i have only let him do it on and off for 1 and a half hours- two hours. He could still go for a while but at a slower pace 10-15 kms, or a steady jog/lope. I normally only do this when it gets cooler before dark. How can i tell when he is tired enough that i should make him stop? Each go around on the lake trails is about 15 mins, then its by the docking shore, where i let him play in the water and cool off and drink etc for about 15 mins then we go with the truck again. This dog will not stop, he loves working and being physically active. Rawhides are finished in 15mins-1 hour, even the great dane sized bones. I give him treats in a jar/toys but he really isnt food motivated (he doesnt even eat steak or other treats, never mind dog treats lol)

As you can see Rocky is VERY active. Which means he needs and eats alot of food. I feed Orijen and mix all the flavors together normally 2 bags puppy flavors to 1 bag adult formulas. He eats 4 level cups in the morning with 1 table spoon wet cat food(kitten formula) with a small scoop of dry cat food. At night he eats 3or4 level cups of food with a table spoon of wet cat food and a small amount of left overs, mainly things like peas, carrots, left over gravy etc. He gets 2 raw hides a day. And he gets a bully stick (bull **parts**) twice a day. With branding season the working dogs often get a bunch of prairie oysters, sometimes baked, sometimes raw. And with the local Mennonites getting rid of the "unwanted" egg layer hens, we often get 10-20 of them at a time and give him one every few days. Every Friday Rocky gets ONE raw egg mixed into his normal ration to help coat and for extra vitamins. As treats though out the day i give him 20-30 baby carrots cut up. I put 1ml of K9 Natu-Joint in his morning meal. I give him K9 Blu Lite on the days that its very hot and he is working hard. I give him ONE K9 Restart Bar if he is working hard as well. Everyday he gets a spoon of K9 vit. supplements. The vet said it wouldn't do him any harm. However he still remains a little under weight. (Feel and slightly see his ribs. and feel his spine. however he is one solid brick. Literally.)

• ANSWER:
  His meal plan sounds fine to me, and your vet seems to be ok with it.

  Honestly, your dog is super active and always on the go. Just like humans, if we excersize constantly, we're going to stay lean and fit, very slim.
  You could add more to his food if you wanted, but I personally don't think it's necessary. These dogs are suppose to be slim and lean. You're doing fine.

  Best wishes!

• ANSWER:
  One thing I would say is that any dog / person that exercises to this extreme amount will actually have more energy because their whole metabolism goes up, and therefore it is a self perpetuating situation. As a dance teacher who used to dance endless hours a week I know that feeling. You literally live on adrenalin and just don't stop.

  However, exercise to that extreme isn't always so good for the body and quite honestly I really do think he is getting enough. As the doctor always tells me "you dancers keep your muscles in tone but don't do your joints any good at all"...... "yes doc"....!!!! lol...

  I would also like to say to any potential cattle dog or border collie owners who just do not realise what these dogs are capable of or need then this is a prime example of a dog of this nature fulfilling his daily needs.

  I think you are doing an excellent job with him (obviously) but maybe you should think about his joints just a little more now, and leave the exercise as you already have it.

QUESTION:
my dog is sick idk what to do!?
She an 8 year old mini schnouzer and she went into heat about a week and a half ago and it wasn't right. She bled mroe then normal a dark dark blood. since she has had barely any energy and won't eat she is losing weight. I don't have a lot of money so I want to try to refrain from going to the vet. does anyone know whats wrong with her? i can't lose this dog i already asked this but have added info. she has been drinking plenty when i bring water to her and she is no longer bleeding. she just has no energy and won't eat?

• ANSWER:
  A neighbor of mine had a terrier mix who would get really ill like this whenever she went into heat. She stopped eating, would mope around, would run a fever, and the problem lasted until about a week after her heat cycle ended. In the end she had to get spayed and the problem instantly stopped. It truly had something to do with her heat cycle.

QUESTION:
Identify three playstation1 games that I can't remember? A funny alien one, and a creepy one.?
Okay the first one was about aliens, you were an alien and there were many just like you and you were trying to save them from being made into pop, or an energy drink or something. And you could walk around and fart on other aliens and they'd slap you and stuff? (Haha, funny game..) And then there was the other one where you were a kid, and it started out with a cutscene of you and your dog, and your dog got taken away or something. And you go after him and end up in this dark world, and there are creatures in the shadows and stuff and you have some invention you use to kill them or zap them or suck them up or something. And the last one you're a zombie guy that was revived or something and you leave your crypt and your trying to get somewhere and there are other zombies running around that attack you?

QUESTION:
What could be happening to my dog?
I just want to start off by saying that "Scooter" is at the Vet, but Im not going to know anything until the morning.

So yesterday my 4 yr old Jack Russel "Scooter" was acting different. Usually he is full of energy but yesterday he was acting so sluggish and he didn't want to do much. I assumed he was still a little sore from when he injured his leg a few days before so I just thought Id wait until tomorrow to see what hes like.
Today I woke up and he wasn't on the couch where he usually sleeps; he was sleeping on a blanket on the floor. So again I thought that his leg was still sore and he didn't want to jump up on the couch. So I picked him up and put him on the couch. That's when things started getting weird. His eyes started to become unfocused and I couldn't do anything to get his attention. He was just staring. Finally after 30 seconds of saying his name and petting him; he looked at me.
So I picked up the phone and started talking to the Vet and while I was put on hold Scooter did something even more scary. He went to get a drink of water and along the way he falls over, lays flat and does the whole staring thing. It took over a minute to get him to focus. I then told the vet what was happening and he told me to get to the clinic asap.
Along the 20 minute drive Scooter had 2 more "staring" episodes. It got to the point where he couldn't even walk and his stomach started to bloat.
After he was examined the Vet told me that his red blood cell count was so low that he was wondering how he was even alive, he has internal bleeding and that he thinks he might have gotten into rat poisoning. But the thing is that I dont have anything like that around my house and when I take him for walks I always see what hes doing.

Has anybody had this happen to their pet, or know of anything like this? I just hate being in the dark, and the vet will only tell me whats going on when HE phones.
So any insight will be helpful!
Im pretty sure there was nothing he could get into. The only thing Im thinking is that someone put something in my yard, but I cant think of anyone who would do that. (Maybe a random sadistic person?) I literally combed my yard and asked my neighbors if they had anything bad he could have eaten. No one did..
As I said before. There was nothing he could have gotten into. I checked everything, everywhere. Of course there is a chance he could have gotten into SOMETHING, but I havent found anything, and Scooter isnt the type of dog to wander...
Thank you for all your answers. Sadly Scooter passed away last night. An autopsy was done this morning and it was determined that he died from a blunt force which ruptured 2 arteries. Now I have the task of finding out what could have done that.

• ANSWER:
  Yes - I have lost 2 dogs over the years to secondary poisoning - i.e. eating poisoned mice. It only takes a couple mice to kill a Siberian and the mice can travel over a mile after eating poison.

  If it's a slow bleed, you have a chance to save the dog (but it's expensive) - Tiandra had a slow bleed and was too lethargic to walk but we did save Ti. But her daughter, Heller, died instantly when a major organ bled out.

  At that point I had no idea either dog was eating "kills" - yes, they had brought me dead mice, birds, etc. but Pride was the only one that ever ate "prey" (the neighbor's chickens that Heller would bait into the dog yard - some 300 ft back on MY property).

  Some 20 years later, a 3 yr old EmCee, also collapsed and died on the way to the vets. Unfortunately in the country, especially when you have a wooded area and an unused pasture, field mice are a major problem and although I don't bait, I can;t stop neighbors' from putting out poison.

  My Cairn Terrier often kills mice in the yards and sheds but to my knowledge, I have never seen him try to eat one. But when I had my late Schipperke x-rayed, she showed mice bones in her stomach (that was not what killed her though)

WOMEN: Don't waste energy faking orgasms. Most men couldn't give a s**t anyway and you could use the saved energy to hoover the house afterwards.

• ANSWER:
  haha...a lot of these are pretty good!

QUESTION:
These are the symptoms, what's wrong with me?
1. Excessive tiredness. (Even though I sleep very well for 6-8 hours a night) And when I say tiredness, I mean to the point I am falling asleep at work, on the bus etc. I mean exhausted!!!

2. No energy (as a result from being so tired). Along with this comes a total lack of concentration, can't focus, trembling hands.

3. Really dark wee, like very concentrated. (I drink around 3-4 litres of water a day and it's not normally this colour at all, usually it's very light) And fairly light poo (sorry to be gross!)

5. (This might not make sense, but I will try!) When I wee, just as I have finished and I go to pull my pants up, I need to wee again. And a trickle will come out. This process repeats until I ignore the urge to wee and just pull my pants up and have done!

6. Headaches

7. Lack of appetite. No hunger, not interested in food. I eat because I know I have to, not because my body wants it... If that makes sense.

8. Itchy little lumps on the back of my thighs. Tons of them.

Tiredness is the main problem, it's killing me.

Ok, a little info about me.

I'm fairly healthy, have a BMI of 24.5. I don't drink fizzy drinks, tea, coffee or alcohol. Diet is good EXCEPT I have a ridiculously sweet tooth, and I will have a biscuit or two at least every day. I don't do as much exercise as I should, but I have to walk a mile to work every day, and I walk my dog. I'm 20 years old.

I am on acne meds along with the contraceptive pill. No vitamins or anything because I can't have iron, zinc, selenium or magnesium with the acne meds. (Been on them about 14-15 months)

My dad has coeliacs disease (gluten free diet), my mom is lactose intolerant and I have irritable bowel syndrome. (Not been tested for coeliacs)

Reason I ask is because I don't want to go to my doctor as I am trying to get into the RAF and I don't want anything on my medical records. However, if it could be something serious I won't risk my health and I will go to the docs, but only if it could be something serious.

Any ideas of what is wrong with me???

  you MUST get checked out.

  In any case, you have to have a medical to get into the forces, i'm pretty sure that applies in every country, including the uk. And lying about your health is a bad idea, if found out - you will be considered unreliable. Probably a court martial offence.

QUESTION:
High fat content/Gaining weight/Up food intake.?
Hi, i have a 4 year old intact male reg cattle dog. He is VERY fit and VERY VERY active. I do fly ball and agility with him. As well as working on the ranch i live on, so daily he works 2500+ head of cattle and 400+ sheep. I do utility level obedience training with him. I jog with him every morning, and in the after noon I bring him down to the lake where he goes swimming for 2-3 hours, playing fetch and Frisbee, as well as jumping off the dock. And 4 times a week we go to the local dog park and he plays with all the dogs there. I do go horseback riding daily and he follows along on the trail rides, or on the quad or dirt bike which ever i take. However, he still has energy even after all that. The past week on the way down to the lake, i have let him run beside the vehicle (off leash), normally about 25-30kms. And let him choose the speed. He loves it. He could do it for hours, however, i have only let him do it on and off for 1 and a half hours- two hours. He could still go for a while but at a slower pace 10-15 kms, or a steady jog/lope. I normally only do this when it gets cooler before dark. How can i tell when he is tired enough that i should make him stop? Each go around on the lake trails is about 15 mins, then its by the docking shore, where i let him play in the water and cool off and drink etc for about 15 mins then we go with the truck again. This dog will not stop, he loves working and being physically active. Rawhides are finished in 15mins-1 hour, even the great dane sized bones. I give him treats in a jar/toys but he really isnt food motivated (he doesnt even eat steak or other treats, never mind dog treats lol)

As you can see Rocky is VERY active. Which means he needs and eats alot of food. I feed Orijen and mix all the flavors together normally 2 bags puppy flavors to 1 bag adult formulas. He eats 4 level cups in the morning with 1 table spoon wet cat food(kitten formula) with a small scoop of dry cat food. At night he eats 3or4 level cups of food with a table spoon of wet cat food and a small amount of left overs, mainly things like peas, carrots, left over gravy etc. He gets 2 raw hides a day. And he gets a bully stick (bull **parts**) twice a day. With branding season the working dogs often get a bunch of prairie oysters, sometimes baked, sometimes raw. And with the local Mennonites getting rid of the "unwanted" egg layer hens, we often get 10-20 of them at a time and give him one every few days. Every Friday Rocky gets ONE raw egg mixed into his normal ration to help coat and for extra vitamins. As treats though out the day i give him 20-30 baby carrots cut up. I put 1ml of K9 Natu-Joint in his morning meal. I give him K9 Blu Lite on the days that its very hot and he is working hard. I give him ONE K9 Restart Bar if he is working hard as well. Everyday he gets a spoon of K9 vit. supplements. The vet said it wouldn't do him any harm. However he still remains a little under weight. (Feel and slightly see his ribs. and feel his spine. however he is one solid brick. Literally.)
you cant see them to badly honestly.
And i just add a little bit of cat food to his Dog food. For added fats/protein/vitamins.

• ANSWER:

QUESTION:
What is wrong with me!?
Please read all of this [or at least most of it!]! If you don't read all of it [or most of it, at least skim through it], don't answer the question! And please forgive me if I repeat myself sometimes. I WAS LIKE THIS BEFORE CAFFEINE [except for the part where I talk about it] I don't drink coffee or soda, or eat any sugary foods like candy.

AAAAHHHH!!! I think I've lost my mind! Or just misplaced it! I get really irritable/agitated sometimes. I'll be like "get away from me" or something along the lines of that, even when people aren't even really talking to me... I know how I want to die. I've planned out several different scenarios. I've planned out suicide before... I never followed through with the plans, though. One night I planned out how my life is going to go [most of this will never happen]: Okay, so I finish high school. I go to college to become a doctor. I fail college, get a job at McDonald's. I use heroin. Later I become the manager at McDonald's, even though I use heroin. I get married, have kids. The kids commit suicide because I'm such a freak. My husband leaves me for someone smart, pretty, and has a good personality, and because the kids died because of me. Then I go on a violent rampage, go to the mall and shoot lots of people. Then a cop shoots me and I die. That's it. I'm addicted to caffeine. Okay, so sometimes I get really depressed. My mom buys Crystal Light [you know, the stuff that you mix with your water, and then it tastes good?]. She buys this kind with caffeine in it. So, when I get really depressed, I just eat the stuff out of the little packets. There are 80 mg of caffeine in each packet. I usually have 3 or 4. Except one time my mom got this kind that had MORE caffeine in it. About 120 mg per packet [60 mg per 1/2 packet, which is what it says on the thing.] I ate 4, thinking, Oh well, it's only 240 mg... But it was really 480. [because one serving is 1/2 a packet, and it says this many mg per serving, and I forget that a serving is only 1/2]. When I had that much, my pulse was about 110, and I was just sitting, I almost passed out [my hands were numb, and everything was turning dark]... it was really weird... I've written these stories about this guy named Bipolar Schizophrenic Psychopath Bob that also has ADHD. He murders lots of people, eats peoples' brains, ate his dog that ate his cat, and in the last story, he commits suicide. I'm so hyper most of the time! It's really annoying! I talk way too much. I can't stop. I start talking, and then it's really hard to stop. I talk way too fast. One time, I said about 140 words in one minute [a little more than 2 words per second]. I don't usually talk that fast. About half that fast, maybe a little faster than half. I have so much energy. Then I start to get really annoying. I just act really stupid. I say stupid things... Really annoying... People think I'm really weird. I guess I am...I like blood... Well, not really. I just get really hyper sometimes. REALLY hyper. Then sometimes I start talking in this weird voice. I want to move. I have so much energy sometimes. I feel like I could run 2 miles! [doesn't seem like a lot, I know...] I don't want to, no wait, can't stay still. I need to move. I feel like this a lot. Not all of the time, but a lot... I think about death a lot. A LOT. And dying or suicide... Both. And violence... I get kind of violent sometimes. I feel like I need to hurt someone/something. I stabbed Mickey McJones a few times in the back. [I'm a backstabber! lol... jk] Mickey is my little eraser and I drew a face and clothes on him. I made him a whole family. A mom, dad, twin brother, brother's girlfriend, sister, sister's husband, crazy uncle, best friend, and a psychiatrist. Yes, I even made him a psychiatrist. Mickey hates his sister. He's really jealous of her. He thinks I like her more, but I really don't. He shot his sister. She almost died... But she's okay now.
I'm 13. I have lots of friends, and I play soccer. I have been for almost 9 years. There's really no reason I should be this way, though. I have a great family, a nice house...

QUESTION:
Do you think this story is going well?
The room is dark, silent with only the glimmer of light from somewhere in front
of me.The light is blinding compared the the surroundings, it brings no detail
to anything.Just a beam in a million miles of darkness. There is a feeling of
cold against me, not icy but like a winter nights wind. My feet are not on the
ground, they dangle, free like a a star in the sky, allowed to move where they
want , but cant. From behind me I can now hear movement, and shuffling and
small, shallow breaths, they seem out of place in the darkness. I feel around
me, the touch of metal, cool on my skin, shocks me, where am i? My eyes are
fixed on the light, all my others senses seem lost and only my eyes can feel,
can sense. A hand touches my shoulder, and my heart begins to races, for a
reason i do not know, and the breathing gets nearer to my ear.

Breathing heavily, i open my eyes ,sit up and look. I can see, i can touch and smell and hear.I
am in my bed, my home, my room. It was a nightmare. I calm myself down, and pull
the covers back to get out of my bed. I turn the light on and walk to the
bathroom to wash my face from the sweat that had accumulated when i was asleep.
The light is still bright to my eyes as i walk towards the kitchen to pore
myself a drink, hands shaking. I rub my eyes as i carry lifelessly, the glass
into the living room. I slump onto the sofa and stretch out, place the glass on
the the book case and trade it for the TV remote. As usual , there is nothing on
the TV at four in the morning except boring tele shopping programs, children
programs and the news. So i flick from channel until i get bored and finally
decide to leave it on the news ,so i can connect with the world. Football,
politics, a soldier killed in Afghanistan, and a murder in London (big surprise
there). So i just lay, having the TV as a background noise so i do not feel
totally alone in the empty room. I take a sip of water from my glass, which i
had to get the energy to actual get up and pick the glass up. My life is pretty
normal i typical i guess, with a boring routine to go with it. I go to sixth
form every weekday and on weekends i kick back and relax, barley having time to
myself. I like to watch films and read books at any chance i get, i love to get
lost in the story, live a life i do not have, do things i wouldn't ever do and
to be someone who i am not. But that is all a fantasy, another world which i
wouldn't be apart of.I am a part of this world, this time and i live here and
now. As i lay, i dream, i imagine ,and slowly i begging to hear nothing but
silence, and then nothing, nothing but sweet dreams and wishes.

I'm woken by a door opening, it is my mother, who has come down to have her normal seven O' clock shower. This is my wake up call. I rise from the sofa, which has left me a
bit achy and i brush my hair, I also use the mirror to check myself , do i look
ok , ok yep, all clear i don't look too bad i guess. My blonde hair is now all
smoothed down , and is no longer looking like a shaggy dog is sitting on my
head.

  It starts out rather interesting, but it lacks energy. Your character doesn't have much energy, so therefore it's hard for the reader to get interested because this character isn't interesting.

QUESTION:
Do I have a problem mentally?
Ok so, So I will tell a bit about myself. 15 year old male, I dont do drugs, dont drink, or smoke, nothing of that kind in fact. I do workout..and I get really stressed about that...its like...something I feel like I need to do to be accepted, I HAVE been suicidal and depressed, but after about a year and a half..my depression has been going away the past month...I guess because school is out, less stress maybe? . Anyway, I am a security freak, I absolutely CANNOT go to sleep, unless I check ALL the doors..lock em...try to open them..same with windows...sometimes I check my closets...bathroom, behind the shower curtain, (no curtains in my room, only blinds) I ALWAYS feel watched, and I mean ALWAYS..outside..inside.....except for the shower...the bathroom is the one place I feel safe I guess. I live in a 2 story house..but I hate it. I only like small apartments, because there are less windows..and doors, so I only have to "watch out" for one entrance, get it? And every month..I get these.."episodes"..I guess you could call them, I will sit up in my night in this house....bout 4-5 months ago..I could literally see hordes of zombies..just like in the game...run up my stairs...but after that..is like they werent there...and anyone who played the game...knows the distinct way they run, and that they travel in "packs". Of course I know they arent real..but at the time ..I didnt know..like..in the moment..I never call for help either..I will wander the house..making noise..so my mom wakes up..and I dont feel alone. Another time...in a different place...apartment..4 rooms...doors TIGHTLY locked, impossible, literally impossible, for a outsider to get in, LET me mention that I have a dog..a small one..that barks like hell is on earth, whenever a family member comes home..and she is 3..so she knows better, therefore..when a stranger comes in..she will NOT stop barking for at least 5 minutes..and she CAN and WILL wake up me. But I was watching Freddy vs Jason..and I stopped..fell asleep on the couch in the livin room, I wake up about 1 hour later..in MY room. with the doors closed...blinds pulled..so it was dark...during the day..about 4 in the afternoon..I was like..WEIRD..Because I KNOW I never left the living room...I was too lazy..and if I got up ..I would lose my desire to sleep, I go to wash my face...I see freddy kreuger..starring at me from the other side of the hallway...I kinda stare back..then keep walking..its weird..cuz usually I would freak the fu** out...but alright. So .yea...mostly about it..lately..I just sit on the xbox until 2 in the morning..so when I go to sleep, I CANNOT stay up and .."guard"..wheter I want to or not..due to lack of energy. I dont know why Im acting this way...this month..is happened about 3 nights in a row...and occasionally once a week...been 2 weeks since those 3 days....but I've been like this for years...always have to check doors..windows..I dont trust people, sometimes I am reluctant to leave my BEST FRIEND, whom I would die for, in my room, alone. I feel like I always have to watch my back..and like something is always watching me. Uhm..so Yea...I guess that sums it up....Do you think I am mentally ill or anything? Also I dont want to ask a doctor..because my mom said that it goes in my medical record...just like my therapy....so I dont want a "black mark" ...you know what I mean? Thanks for reading and/or commenting.

QUESTION:
DS: I need your help, my APBT is very sick….?
Hello Dog Section, my 1-year-old APBT is very sick and I need your opinions, experience or any information or suggestions you may have to offer. I do apologize for the length but felt some of details were necessary.

One of my babies, Notorious, is a one year old, APBT. He is UTD with his vaccinations, including his annual booster last month. His health has been excellent for the last year, although, after his rabies vaccination, I felt he had less energy and slept more.

Over the past two weeks, he had gas and bad breath even though I brush his teeth. I called the vet and spoke with a vet tech (big mistake), explained reason for my call, but was assured he just needed a cleaning, so I scheduled one. As for the gas, since all my dogs had it, I attributed it to the dog food.

When he woke-up last Wednesday morning, he had some light colored, mucus discharge in his eyes. Decided I would watch it and if it got worse, I would take him to the vet the next day. Thursday morning, the mucus in his eyes is now light green, but he also had it draining from his nose, was gagging, throwing up, would not eat and pawing at his muzzle.

That same day I took him to the vet and after he checked him, he said Notorious had an upper respiratory infection. His lungs were full of fluid and this throat was irritated and full of gunk. He gave him two injections and medication for me to take home and administer every eight hours: 500mg of Amoxicillin, 110mg of Keycotuss and AllButerol once a day in a vaporizer.

Over the weekend, the mucus in the eyes started clearing up and was now a light gray/brown. The nose had almost cleared completely. However, I could still hear his chest and he gagged once or twice, but his appetite was back. BTW, he never stopped drinking water.

Early Monday morning, he had a loose stool but not enough for me to worry. I took him to work, by noon he was throwing up again and his stool was now liquid, dark brown in color, with a reddish tint through it, which I am hoping is not blood. I spoke to the vet; he said the previous medications were not strong enough. Back to the vet and 0 later, in addition to taking blood to do a CBC (results in morning), a scraping of his behind and stool was taken. He also administered three injections, 1-B12, 1-antibodic and 1 Dex..., changed his meds to Ditrem and Sucralfate and his diet to K9 I/D canned dog food.

Notorious is also losing weight at a rate of 1lb a day and as soon as I can get a sample, his stool will be tested.

My question is does anyone have any ideal what could possibly be wrong. I am hoping for the best but I want to prepare for the worst when he calls tomorrow with the results. Have any of you experienced any thing of this nature? If so, what is it and what would cause it.

Thank you in advance.

• ANSWER:
  I'm not too sure that the gas from his rear end would irritate his eyes as the vet tech above suggested!!!

  If I read your question correctly - nor did he have any surgery where the intubation would have caused problems.

  We have a dog in our kennel who has had a maroon color loose stool for a couple of weeks. We have had a full biochemistry done on his blood with no problems showing. We had a stool sample analyzed, again no problems found so we are at the same stage really.

  He had not been on any medication at all before this problem but has since had antibiotics and an aggressive worming program to rule out any intestinal parasites (although he is regularly wormed...) but no change.

  I wish you luck in finding a solution to your problem but sadly, cannot offer any possible cause because we're still searching for a cause for our own dog.

QUESTION:
Is this a good opening to a novel? hows the writing? any tips? Thanks so much I really appreciate this!....;,?
Chapter 1--The Eye of the Bird

The gentle evening clouds began forming on the western front, as a cold breeze flew past the man sitting on the edge of the forest. The man was particularly bundled up with his snowcap covering his eyes, a scarf his neck, and a thick blanket covering all of his neck down. The man was no fan of the winter, but he felt that dealing with the cold was a necessity to being out with nature, and the cold wasn’t too bad when all bundled up, except for the expoliates that laid naked to the wind. The man’s nose was bright red, and sensing, actually sensing nothing, the man pulled a hand from underneath the blanket to check to see if his nose was still there.
Peter Faust was the man who sat on the edge of the forest, and he stared out into the forest for hours, looking at all the wondrous trees and animals the forest had to offer. The leaves have all disappeared and snow has yet to fall this season, allowing Peter to gaze farther into the woods then he has ever been able too, yet he could see no end. The forest stretched as far as his imagination.
“Honey, are you ready to come inside? It’s getting dark.”
Peter turned around and saw his wife Rachel standing just outside their backdoor. She looked uncomfortable in the wind, waiting impatiently for a response from him, but Peter just stared back at his wife with a stupid glare. Eventually giving up Rachel walked back inside slamming the door behind her.
So many troubles have befallen Peter over the months, problems Peter can’t comprehend, but knows they are there. Previously Peter worked at a nearby university as a very renowned Professor of Philosophy. His co-workers revered him and the students crammed into his class to hear him speak. He had such fascinating ideas, in which he expressed them fluently with unbelievable clarity that made everyone of his students feel as if they just become enlightened after one of his classes. He eventually published a very popular book The Transcendentalist .
However, just over a year ago Peter got diagnosed with schizophrenia and some various other dementia problems that destroyed Peter’s ability to think. He used to be a philosopher, sitting for others, pondering the wonders of the world, now his mind is so drunk on drugs, making it impossible for him to have a continuous and complex thought processes. By the time he reached the end of a sentence, he already forgot what the beginning of the sentence was. And this made Peter terribly frustrated because he still remembers what it was like to run through ideas at a furious pace, exploring the thrill of new possibilities, but now his mind is paralyzed. He’s like a sick dog staring out the window, just wanting to play in the meadow.
In any other situation, his mind cannot even elevate itself to thinking what he wants to do tomorrow, but whenever he’s sitting and staring into the forest, a little blip on energy flickers in his mind. It’s like when somebody’s heart fails and the heart rate monitor has a straight continuous line with one drawn out beeeeep, but when some energy was applied to the heart, the continuous line breaks a little. This energy in terms to Peter was the forest. There was something that lured him that made him remember what it was like to wonder. Maybe it was the tall, endless tree that never ceased to occupy Peter’s attention because he jumped from tree to tree, staring at each one’s beauty and magnitude. Or maybe it was the countless animals he could see flying and jumping from tree to tree, or even the countless animals that he couldn’t see but made their presence known by their hoots and their hollers. Whatever it was there was something very powerful in this forest, so powerful that it created a spark in Peter’s dead brain.
Back when Peter had his health, he didn’t make so much as a glance to the woods behind his house, but now Peter would give anything to explore those woods. He can’t though due to his confinement to his wheelchair. To the end of the patio was as far as he could go, for the wheels would get stuck in the grass, and he dared not make Rachel angry by calling out to her for help. Nevertheless, he still wished he could just touch one of those trees.
Being too occupied staring into the forest, Peter failed to notice a raven circling him from above. Eventually it caught his eye, and he tilted his head back staring up into the epicenter of the bird’s perfect circular flight. A hundred feet up, Faust could barely make out the type of bird, but he knew it was a raven when it let out a horrifying screech. Curious, yet slightly unnverved at the evident interest the bird took in him, Peter began wheeling his chair backwards, which the bird took into account in its flight, never quitting its circular flight around Peter. Stunned by this, Peter watched the bird go around and around as if it was a fan blade twirling in an endless circle. Then for no reason it was off, flying headstrong into the forest.

• ANSWER:
  The first thing I look at when I write anything is the first sentence. The bulk of this sample is about Peter, not the forest, so the first sentence seems a bit out of place. I know you hint at the importance of the forest, and if the forest is a major theme/setting/symbol in the novel, then a first sentence that focuses on the forest may be appropriate.

  If the book focuses more on the man, though, I'd open with thoughts about Peter instead of the world around him.

  Here you open with the wind, then discuss the weather front, then the man, the the forest. It makes Peter seem completely unimportant in the scope of the nature he's confronted with. Maybe that's what you're after? Those are my thoughts. It's really hard to judge a work by a few opening paragraphs, so all I could do is focus on the all important opening sentence.

QUESTION:
Parvo question?!?
Ok so my dog has parvo (verified by vet, I'm doing home care), and it's his 6th day, almost 7th. He seems to have more energy. He walks up to sniff around, and then sits back down. If I sit with him and then leave his side, he jumps up on the gate and cries a little bit. He drinks water on his own, and is able to keep it down, along with his medicine. He wags his tale, and even in his sleep while he is dreaming. Now a majority of the time instead of always laying he sits up a lot instead of laying. He pee's like every hour or 2 (still giving pedialite). His poop is now thicker. It was Dark Brownish/bloody the 3rd and 4th days. Yesterday it changed, It is now dark brown with no blood what soever in it (I examined it lol). The only prob I have is that when I feed him (he eats it himself), he throws up. And this is the ONLY time he throws up. Is that bad? I'm giving him a tbsp of canned I/d food mixed with little pieces of boiled chicken and potatoes. How can I get him to hold it down?
Oh ok...mine was from the shelter too! He came down with symptoms only 2 days after I got him! But I'm just concerned because he is so skinny! But I was told he can live over a week on just pediatlite.
Yes I do love my dog very much...I really hope he makes it through this.
Yes he is on anti-biotics...and about an hr or 2 later he threw it up, so I didn't want to give him more. And the I/D food is the food the vet gave me for him, its prescription food.
Thank u guys for ur answers...it really did help out. And thank you for kikeenono....it took ALOT. My body is taking a toll on me because I have barely been able sleep or eat because I sit by him all day and night to make sure he is ok.
Yes he is on Reglan for the vomiting. I probably will call tomorrow...they are closed right now. And I'll maybe just try giving him the I/D food without the chicken and potatoes next time. But the first time I offered it he didn't want to eat it, then I came back with the chicken and potatoes mixed in and then he ate it.
Grace I think u were right, but this time he actually ate it plain, before he wouldn't accept it without at least the chicken in it. I gave it to him and its been about 2 hrs and he hasn't thrown up! All the other times it came up between 10min-1 hr so to me its an improvement. At least if he throws up this time the nutrients have time to absorb and give him some energy...

• ANSWER:
  Call your vet, it may be the antibiotics, or it may be the chicken or potato. I/d is supposed to be easy on the stomach, but it may even be that. Is he on any medication to treat vomiting currently? So long as his energy is up, you can withhold food until you speak to your vet tomorrow). You don't want him vomiting, for it will lead to dehydration (the pedialyte helps, but won't if it gets too bad)

QUESTION:
A short story..I think?
i whipped it up in about a half hour i was just bored on the computer, i didn't even bother to spell check. I'm up for criticism. i didn't start this knowing where it would go i was thinking up the next word as i typed it. so lemme know....

She is "beauty", Inspiring things lately manifested deeply behind hate and fear. The type of woman you would hope dearly to glimpse on the hottest day of your month-long peril through a treacherous Sahara. Even if this is a mirage, I dare not move. Fearing the slightest disturbance of air would fright this wonder to flee. Out of breath panting i outreach..not thin air i grasp but a lush of delicate hair streams through my rough whithered hands. Soft spoken with a melodic voice that would leave any voice over actress in the dust. "Everything..everything you will ever need." the sky loosely wrenching rolling, lawling like a overjoyed tired out old dog. mountains dancing like the waves of some high sea, in your average day to day pirate ship story. "Today, is the day you find true love." again on this mirage, opening my mouth for words when all that spills out is choked up smoke. wishing i could say more, turning she didn't look back. Walking away she faded into what nobody can understand. to the impossible but not beyond reach. The sky now had begun convulsing like a drunk writhing in pain to hack up his microwave late-dinner. but now with the joy of the moment faded completely the ground stood still, the light of the blazing sun was no more. It was replaced with a vivid light shone dark red. the smell of fresh plastic. To my knees i fell. No strength left to carry on. I managed every ounce of energy my body kept in reserves for future well use. i looked at this wondrous sky, and let out the scream of my life. I could not hear myself only the sharp ring as if a high powered grenade had burst just out of lethal range. louder and louder. My trembling hands and broken joints, all tearing at my own body. then out from some warp of indefinite time and infinite space appeaared something so amazing i could not make up my mind if i was terrified or overjoyed. this creature of a man with a pig-snout bulls horns framing a face so twisted and gnarled it made me more naucious then this quivering sky. the best of hair which had to reach the mid back length on this thing. so huge it looked like three bulls and an assortment of 4 to 5 wild animals massed together. eyes reminiscent of a wolf, but rather they had feline quality and shimmer. the torso of a man legs of a black jaguar but stood vertically like a would-be human. no tail that was in sight. he wore what seemed to be clothes but they seemed to hover an inch above his skin rather then touch. i could not make out what the clothes looked like they seemed to be translucent and yet solid. Black. slowly walking toward me i realized i had hesitated to examine this thing too long, scratching all the nails from fingertips i clawed to my feet and began to run. running, the hardest i believe i have ever ran before. i wished i was in a movie and able to summon unearthly spped and make it all the way back to my lonely home. where i could go back to being alone. after what seemed to be thirty seconds i dared a look back, astonished the man-beast had brought himself to all fours sprinting like a cheetah he was a mere lunge from taking me. with a growl so horrible i would have surely needed another pair of boxers come the aftermath. he lunged and caught my right leg. i felt the cold rush of blood and the shock of a fresh wound. now on the ground the beast held me there. he began licking the wound with a tongue as long as a cow but thin and rough like an aged man.screaming i tried to kick which seemed only to anger the man and he left the wound to bleed on it's own. at my face this thing was looking me in the eye not six inches from my face. looking into me with those cat eyes, he had a stench about him the reminded me of a fresh batch of laundry mixed with the post-digested smell of mashed tacos. he said my name aloud. i dared not answer back. he began screaming. "Let go!" over and over "LET GO! LET GO!" fear as tight as a bears maw gripped me. i tried to wriggle free to no avail. "Let go!" his voice so deep and hateful. it now began to rise into harmony with another sound. something i could not identify. high pitched then soft then loud. i felt my whole body moving and bouncing. Closing my eyes hoping all of this would soon be over. i heard the noise of a shopping bag from a nice designer style clothes retail store. opening my eyes i was now awake in my room. bed spreads tossed and the mattress revealed by my apparent struggling, i was on the left edge of the bed in a cold sweat. Chloey had a hold of both my shoulders straddling me trying to bring back to reality. i struggled to grasp what had just happened. i looked around for the beast, the bag, the desert, anything to make sence of this. then i thought of the beautiful woman in the
something happened, i think it cut off the end of the story, is there a character limit for this section??
i'm going to try to find a different way to post it up here.

QUESTION:
5 month old puppy has diarrhea?
Last night I brought home a 5 month old american pit bull terrier from a private owners. I live about an hour and 10 minutes away from the owners house and I think she is a little nervous and lonely because her mother and sister are no longer with her. She has adjusted quite well, is a large ball of energy and loves people and other animals but this morning she started to have diarrhea. I think she may have suddenly changed new food because of the switch of homes and also I accidentally fed her approx. 5-10 treats throughout the course of a day that I found out were for adult dogs. After speaking with a vet on the phone she said that if the diarrhea is still there on monday that I should bring her in, I just want to know if there is anything else I can do to help calm her down and hopefully end the diarrhea as soon as possible, especially if I helped cause it with the treats. By the way, she threw up on the car ride home but not again since (I assume because it was dark out and she got car sick on the ride) Anyway any advice would be great...again everything seems normal, she's still eating and I'm making sure that whenever she evacuates that she drinks plenty of water to stay hydrated I'm just worried something might be wrong.
P.S. I also have been feeding her food with corn in it, and was told that can sometimes wreak havoc on a dogs intestines...I plan on purchasing a better food but I would like for her stomach problems to go away before properly transitioning her to another food brand.

• ANSWER:
  Try mixing in some boiled white rice (or putting a slice of sweet potato) in her food (about 1/4 of the amount of her total meal intake). Starches help bind stool and prevent the runs. That always helps my pit mix and foster dogs who get diarrhea. But don't overdo it because you could end up with a constipated puppy.

  Steer clear of treats until the diarrhea has subsided for a few days. When the diarrhea stops, get hard treats that are corn free. I prefer Nutro (Natural Choice) treats because dogs love them (without causing diarrhea) and they help keep teeth clean.

  I would also suggest switching her to Natural Balance food if you can. It's great for dogs with sensitive systems.

  But she should definitely see your vet to rule out any pre-existing conditions that might have gone unnoticed or undiagnosed by her previous vet (it's always wise to take a new dog to the vet within the first week after adoption).

QUESTION:
How do I get FREE energy drinks?
I am an energy drink fiend, I drink them all the time. How do I get sponsored or get free energy drinks?

• ANSWER:

QUESTION:
What is worse for your body; Sugar-free Energy Drinks or Sugared Pops?
Pretty much everyday I have a sugar-free rockstar energy drink. My wife thinks the other chemicals and the caffeine are bad for my body, yet she drinks soda loaded with sugar.

Which is worse?

• ANSWER:
  Hmmm... neither choice is a healthy one and it really depends on which sugar substitute you are using. It is thought that saccharin may cause cancer when used in extremely high amounts. Aspartame has been linked with the development of brain tumors. Sucralose contains a type of chlorine known to be toxic and to cause cancer. Also with the way your body works you produce insulun for both but it is only used on the sugar this causes an imbalance in your system. Me personally I think I'd take the sugared soda hopefully something like 7-up and try not to drink it more than twice a month. At least you'd have less side effects to tend with. Try the article below in the source guide.

QUESTION:
While dieting, are sugar free energy drinks significantly less destructive than regular?
I’ve heard in passing that despite being labeled as “diet”, and having 0 calories listed under the nutritional facts, diet sodas aren’t all that much better than regular sodas.
Does anyone know how valid this is, and what the evidence behind it is?
With that example out of the way, the main question:
Does the same thing apply to lightly carbonated, sugar free energy drinks as well? And should someone dieting avoid indulging?

• ANSWER:
  Its bad for you mentally...because you get cocky about how that item doesn't count since it doesn't have calories but there are other things inside them that are bad for you and can ruin your diet. It is best to avoid all DIET drinks including all energy drinks.

  If you are looking for a boost. One a day makes a vitamin with energy. Green Bottle. You can look it up online on their website. Its a daily vitamin with a kick and your not taking in any calories or carbonation that will bloat your stomach.

  Carbonated drinks can force you to go up one pant size just from the carbonation alone. Its like pumping your stomach full of air. After about two weeks of not drinking carbonated drinks all together....your stomach will flatten out.

QUESTION:
Are there any signifigant differences between energy drinks and sugar free energy drinks?
I'm doing a science project on if sugar free energy drinks are better than regular energy drinks, so I do ask for some links, please. And if you have any experience with these drinks, please advise me, and tell me which one you feel is better. I know that they aren't good for you anyway, but people drink them anyway, so I'm trying to learn which is better for future reference.

• ANSWER:
  Neither sugar (in plain energy drinks) or sugar substitutes (which are in the sugar-free energy drinks) are very good for you. Sugar is responsible for the epidemic of diabetes worldwide. However, sugar-substitutes contribute to cancer. So I guess you have to pick your poison. I have to drink sugar-free because I am diabetic, but it's the caffeine in it that gives the real energy boost, so, it would be better yet to just take some "No-Doz" (caffeine pills) and skip the sugar-substitutes.

QUESTION:
Hey do you know where i can get free energy drinks?
I want any kinds of free energy drinks, do you know where i can get some

• ANSWER:
  water + Sugar

QUESTION:
are sugar free energy drinks as bad as the regular ones?
i know its a stupid question. but people say energy drinks are bad for you cause there loaded with sugar. if the energy drink is sugar free what makes it bad?

• ANSWER:
  Sugar free anything is worse than sugar drinks. The sugar drinks are terrible for you.

  What happens is your body reacts to diet drinks the same way it does sugar. The Hypothalamus senses sweetness and sends TRH hormone to the pituitary causing it to send hormones to the pancreas to release insulin. Insulin acts like a key to unlock the insulin receptors located in the membranes of each cell. When the cell door is open to let glucose in and there is no glucose, the receptors get fatigued. Then the body thinks it still needs more insulin, so the pancreas gets the message to send more insulin. Still no sugar there, so the cells get very resistant to the insulin. Now the body has to release glucagon to lower the blood sugar level that is in a state of chaos, and the adrenal glands get involved because the body thinks it is in a state of "flight or fight." So adrenaline and cortisol is released and the adrenals get exhausted. The body uses up it's supply of pregnenalone producing the excess cortisol and the steroid hormones are not made in the liver.

  You feel the high from the adrenaline and the cortisol, but your body's organs are exhausted and cannot perform other necessary functions to stay normal.

  All this starts a cascade of events that leads to eventual premature death. The cascade is hypoglycemia to diabetes type II, and then eventually kidney failure.

  The so called "energy" drinks are garbage and very damaging to the body. Dietetic or Sugared, all the same garbage.

  Also, these drinks, like coffee, tea, fruit juices, etc. all dehydrate you and thereby depleting you of water you need for necessary functions in the body.

  good luck to you

QUESTION:
She doesn't eat and all she drinks is sugar free energy drinks. What will this do to her body?
I know she has an eating disorder and that I can't help her, but I still want to know what is going on with her. I always see her drinking those energy drinks that have caffeine and taurine. I guess the reason is that she has no real energy anymore because she won't eat.

• ANSWER:
  Diabes most likely, not to mention electrolyte deficiencies (hypokalemia, etc.). Her adrenals will also start to suffer. Not to mention the horrid effect from not eating.

  She needs to see a specialist who can treat the eating disorder, and needs to have blood tests done to check for imbalances.

QUESTION:
Are Sugar Free Energy Drinks bad for you?
Im addicted. I have to have one a day and limit myself to one a day. I only drink the Sugar Free Rockstar or Monster so Im not consuming too much caffeine or sugar, so is this bad?

I get up at 5am to workout/run for a hour so Im quite exhausted throughout the day and need coffee and a energy drink for a quick pick me up.

• ANSWER:
  I think if you're limiting yourself to just 1 per day and there is no sugar in them you're fine, it's just like drinking a can and a half of diet soda with caffeine. If you truly are addicted though that's not a good thing. I'd look for alternatives at that point.

QUESTION:
Are there any good caffeine free sugar free energy drinks?
I'm looking for a good energy drink before working out with no caffeine or sugar.

• ANSWER:
  Not trying to be smart mouthed.....but I think the basic approach to all energy drinks is to have sugar and caffeine. The ones I have seen that have supposed exotic herbs still have the sugar and caffeine.

QUESTION:
Are Sugar free energy drinks bad or good?
okay so my mom drinks a No fear energy drink like everyday...they are "sugar free" but i dont think "sugar free" is better anyway, its still super bad for her. She doesn't believe me or anyone who tells her that they are bad cause they never say why it is so bad. so PLEASE tell me some bad things about energy drinks, or if they are fine then tell me that too!
Thanks

• ANSWER:
  If on the ingredient label, any sweeteners labeled as aspartame, sucralose, or the like is on there, they are bad for you. I can't remember which is which, but aspartame is either the same as Sweet N Low or Nutrisweet. Sucralose is SPLENDA. SPLENDA is the newest sweetener on the market, but do you want to know what SPLENDA really is? It's chlorinated sugar. Just like table salt is chlorine and sodium, SPLENDA is chlorine and and sugar. I used to eat that stuff from the packet cuz I loved the taste so much when I would go to restaurants until I found out what it was made from. The best sweetener out there is called Stevia. It's all natural, just like sugar, but it has zero calories. It's made from the leaves of the Stevia plant. You can find it at health food stores. It has a different taste than sugar, but it's the safest sweetener out there that also has zero calories unlike sugar.

  Yes it's called XS and it's INCREDBILE. You can only get it through Quixtar though. But seirously it gives you WAY more than monster, or anything else out there. And its' like sugar free, and hardly any calories and all that. And comes in like 6 flavors!!!!

QUESTION:
8 sugar free energy drinks a day. What sort of side effect will this have on my health, is any?

• ANSWER:
  These contain about 80-100mgs of caffeine or 640-800mgs in the 8 cans. The maximum recommended dose is around 340mgs a day. There are no huge health risk, but there are some concerns about potential cardio-toxicity. Having said that a significant percentage of the population will take that much caffeine on a daily basis.

QUESTION:
About sugar free energy drinks?
Will sugar free energy drinks like monster make you gain/retain weight? I work out everyday. My job has me walking house to house "meter reader" and I train over 25 hours a week doing mma, lifting ,running. I still lose no weight. I drink 2 maybe 3 enegry drinks a day one at 5 am one at 10 and maybe one in the afternoon. Is it really that bad.

• ANSWER:
  Monster has 110 calories per serving. There are 2 servings in the regular cans. So if you are drinking 3 of those a day you are consuming 660 calories. That is a lot of calories even with someone as active as you.

  Three is also 80mg of caffeine per serving. Caffeine dehydrates us and depletes us of B vitamins. When dehydrated we feel tired and B vitamins are essential for energy. The amount that most energy drinks put in either just replace what is lost or not really much more to improve your energy levels.

  Sugar free drinks available in the stores are better. They have about 10 calories per serving. However the caffeine is still there. I would highly recommend ones like the caffeine free XS energy drinks. These are healthy ones, with 8 calories per serving. They have much more of the B vitamins than regular energy drinks do.

  Before that though it is imperative to get enough water. It is a natural energizer. Also taking a good quality multi B complex may help reduce how many energy drinks you may need in a day. Also using a good quality ginseng with ginko biloba increases energy too. Then there is the Rhodiola 110 supplement used for Sports Nutrition energy levels.

  I recommend cutting back on the energy drinks to no more than 2 per day. With regular ones you are getting 480mg of caffeine. The maximum safe daily intake of caffeine is only 300mg. Over that causes many problems and the longer it is over consumed the worse it will be. Even beyond the plain caffeine there are just so many combined stimulants in them. Even the healthy ones like the caffeine free versions from XS should be limited to just 2 servings a day.

  Contact me if you have any other questions.

QUESTION:
Are sugar free energy drinks bad for you?
I'm a uni student & am always pretty busy.

I have a Sugar Free V Energy Drink almost every day to help me keep on top of things. My thoughts are that this can't be too good for my health.

I have heard things like manufactured sugar replacements are linked to Cancer and other bad things? And people getting headaches when they drink these things etc?

I know water is better for you etc. and I don't care if it makes me want to eat more sweet things or whatever, I just want to know in general if the Sugar free drink is bad for you in relation to health problems.

Thanks for your input

• ANSWER:
  Yes all energy drinks are bad for you. First of all, remember the term 'energy drink' has been constructed by beverage companies purely for the purpose of advertising, it is not a scientific term or necessarily a descriptive property of that product.'Energy drinks' are not energy supplements, they are merely gimmicks which are designed to have addictive taste properties, and generally marketed to appeal to young people such as yourself.

  In fact any soft drink isn't great for you. Sugar free soft drinks are usually loaded with artificial sweeteners which some research suggests are even worse for you.

  Studies have shown that energy drinks will make you feel more energetic when tired, only when you already have an addiction to them. For instance, a cigarette would not make a non smoker feel more relaxed but for a smoker who's body has learned to 'need' the nicotine, a cigarette will be highly relaxing. If you never developed the craving for a substance in the first place you would never need it.

  V does the same as the cigarette in my analogy, it only satisfies the caffeine receptors in your brain which have been programmed to make you think your body needs it. You should also note that caffeine is an antagonist chemical which replicates a hormone to keep you awake, and so it does not actually provide energy per se, but rather may help you stave off sleepiness early in the morning or late at night. The consequence of this though is that you will begin to crave it more and more unnecessarily.

  Energy is best sourced from a good diet, enough sleep and exercise rather than 'synthetic crap'. Remember that water is always the best form of hydration, even fruit juice is just water and sugar.

  You heard correctly. There is research which links artificial sweeteners and the like to serious illnesses such as cancer and many other health problems. The best thing to do is just stick with water.

  Also I don't know where you heard water makes you want to eat more sweet things. Keep in mind that an addiction to soft drinks and coffee makes you want to have more soft drinks and coffee, which are generally loaded with sugar and even worse things.

I took them all to work with me and put them in my miniature refrigerator. That day, my NAME tasted very funny, as if there was some kind of a chemical overdose going on.

That whole week, I was extremely mad, and I am asking if you guys at NAME can refund some kind of something. Absolutely anything would do, but I am absolutely fuming here, and I was forced to purchase yet another one of your EXPENSIVE NUMBER-packs.

QUESTION:
What exactly is so unhealthy about energy drinks?
What makes them unhealthy?

Are sugar-free, calorie-free energy drinks unhealthy?

• ANSWER:
  Well, I had that same question before I did the my university research about energy drinks and soft drinks. Well the unhealthy thing about energy drinks is that they contain high quantities of sugar ( Obesity Relationship), chemicals that have spooky names ( Inositol, Niacinamide etc) with spooky side effects ( Tooth decay, blood pressure problems, carcigenic, ulcer producing, depression igniter and many others) and including all that, they make you ''energetic'' for a little while ( only a matter of minutes) and a long crash ( Psychological and Physical exhaustion). In my study, the only energy drink that passed the majority of test was the 5 hour energy drink. This drink is not as dangerous as the other ones and does not give the user a crash. Also It is the one that contain the less spooky chemicals.

  Hope it worked!!!

QUESTION:
Free Isotonic or Energy drinks. Which is best for stamina?
There is a free sample offered on drink-bolero.com Which type of drink is best for stamina, an energy drink with Taurine & Caffeine or an Isotonic?

• ANSWER:
  The best thing for stamina is training at a high cadence 70-90 rpm's with a lite pedal pressure. Start out with a very easy 10 min warm up ride. A high cadence and lite pedal pressure uses you slow twitch muscles that use fat as a fuel and can go for a very long time. Pedaling slow and mashing on the the pedals will wear out you legs quickly. You don't need any special isotonic drink, caffeine will help convert carbs to glycogen quicker but for long rides load up on carbs the day before. I can do a 75 mile ride on an apple, banana, and a box of Good & Plenty and a bunch of water. A Gatorade or a can of coke along the way helps.

QUESTION:
Im doing a project on the negative effects of energy drinks?
The topic is How do Energy Drinks effect Heart Rate. I know it increases it, but what are some other negative effects even other that heart rate changes? Thanks. And dont worry. You're not doing my homework for me. This is only for background info.

• ANSWER:
  Well just because energy drinks raise the heart rate does not make that a negative effect.

  Most of the bad effects from energy drinks result from using too many or not from drinking enough water.

  People talk about the crash but that is only from the sugars and only if not properly hydrated. Caffeine dehydrates us so if we do not drink enough water to offset this then we feel the sugar crash or it is even intensified if we are dehydrated enough. With plenty of water in our system the caffeine, taurine, B vitamins, and other stimulants take over where the sugar lets off and the sugar crash is not even noticed.

  All of the makers, including those of healthy energy drinks suggest against having more than 2 in a day. It is not just becuae of the caffeine. It is because of the total amount of all of the stimulants in them. That much will keep your heart rate up and keep your brain and body going wven when you need to rest and sleep. That is when they can get dangerous.

  Regular ones are worse then healthy ones. The sugars provide a lot of carbs and calories. Plus there are not many B vitamins in regular energy drinks yet they are essential for energy. Caffeine also depletes us of B vitamins and the ones in regular energy drinks either replaces what was removed or very little more so the are not very effective. Healthy energy drinks put in a bunch more B vitamins to not only offset what is lost but to give us energy. Plus healthy ones also have caffeine free versions too.

  Energy drink. If it allows a young person to feel active, get outside and play, grab a skateboard or hop on a bike, getting phys exercise.....Im sure there are some adults who would find something wrong with that.

Caffeine is the addictive element that makes coffee so appealing — and provides the jolt to smooth the transition from sleep to facing another day at work or school.
  But if your daily dose of caffeine is up around 600 mg, you may start to show symptoms of caffeine overdose. They will vary from individual to individual.Exercises is the best source of energy for me.It is free and all can try it.Be active!!

QUESTION:
Are there any longterm side effects from drinking energy drinks?
I drink at least one monster low carb energy drink a day and Im extremely active (triathlete) and was wondering if there are any known long term negative side effects to drinking energy drinks.

• ANSWER:
  I'm 46 and have been drinking caffeine since I was old enough to keep both ends off the ground. I used to drink 7-9 cans of Mountain Dew a day. Never bothered me UNTIL I hit 40. Then developed arrythmia, while I can't prove it's the caffeine. I'm one of nine kids and I'm the only one that has it, so it's not hereditary, and other than caffeine, I can't think of what would cause it.

  One or so a day I wouldn't think would hurt, just try not to go over board, you might regret it later.

I am a big fan of energy drinks, mainly Rockstar.

But i have heard so many rumours about them, and other true things.

One other thing is (This one is just stupid...) that it makes your "manhood" smaller if you drink too many of them, in other words, it effects your hormones?

Anyway, what are the effects of them? I know someone at school who drinks a V EVERYDAY.. he has one at school every time i see him. I have about 2 each weekend, maybe 1...

• ANSWER:
  Most energy drink side effects are minor at first but eventually can lead to serious chronic disease in the near future. Side effects can range from: headaches, stomachaches, insomnia, dehydration, tremors, blood sugar spikes, energy crashes, increase of heart and breathing rate.

  Try drinking an EMV energy drink! It's 100% natural and tastes heaps better than the original Mother energy drink. In a blind taste test, it came out better tasting than all the commercial drinks and it won't make you feel like crap when it leaves your system!

QUESTION:
Are there any side effects of getting totally wired on energy drinks?
Ok, so I chosen to be Abstinent to alchohol, but i've found that energy drinks sorta give me the same feeling. So i was wondering, are their any side effects of drinking a few energy drinks. Especially like any long term ones?
Yea Im not stupid. I would for sure not be drinking them everyday, But you know, they help me kind of loosen up. Just a couple now and then i just don't want to mess up my body for something stupid like that.

• ANSWER:
  These drinks tends to be high in sugar and caffeine. They can raise your blood pressure and heart rate very high. They are NOT soft drinks (although they are marketed as one).
  Personally - I wouldn't recommend ANYONE under 15 years old to drink it - but of course you drank alcohol so you should old enough.

  People have been know to be so hyped up on it that they do crazy things and lose control (One case I know of a young man drank more than 5 of these in one hit and totally lost control of his senses - took a car and drove at high speed ended up crashing into a wall - killed. Not making this up - it actually happened)
  Your brain just can't handle that much caffeine. So careful of how much you drink per day.

  Long term affect is possible kidney damage, heart failure, brain damage.

  Like anything else - all things in moderation. I'd hate to see you in a hospital.

  Cheers

QUESTION:
what effects can drinking energy drinks on a regular basis (once or twice a day) do to you in the long run?
What possitive if any and negative effects are there when drinking energy drinks such as monster or red bull have on the human body? :O

• ANSWER:
  Energy drinks are not a supplement that you should frequent.(moreover a supplement at all) Consuming one or two energy drinks per day may not show many initial problems, but over the longer run, you run a higher risk of developing diabetes. Energy drinks tend to have a lot of sugar, thats why red bull, monster, etc taste so sweet.

  There are no notable positive effects from drinking energy drinks. These sugary drinks are a huge contributor to diabetes and obesity in America. I'd steer clear and stick to water, and juices. (pure juice)

I am aware on many cans/bottles of energy drinks it says not to drink too much within a day. For example Redbull cans say not to consume more than 500ml/day. What difference does this have compared to coffee? I have never seen a coffee recommendation other then for pregnant women (not to drink more than 4 cups/day i think). Is anyone aware of a longterm impact of consuming excess energy drinks? I guess they haven't been around for long enough.

• ANSWER:
  The difference between Coffee and thees drinks is the fact that "RedBull" is like 3and a half cups of coffee.

  None have been found yet.

QUESTION:
what are bad side effects from energy drinks?
my husband drinks energy drinks everyday and says that there is nothing wrong with it. i want to be able to give him reasons why he shouldn't drink them and what could happen. so please help.

• ANSWER:
  The effects of that much caffeine can be serious....it has been known to cause heart attacks and several companies have debated on whether to pull their 'energy' drinks from the shelves. Read up on caffeine. I don't use it. Even though it's legal, it's addictive and chemically related to such drugs as cocaine. It's an upper that constricts the veins in your brain and increases your heart rate. I'm not sure how much caffeine it would take to kill someone, but it's a lot of energy drinks. Mixing it with alcohol, a downer, makes the effects even worse for your body. The ingredient you are worried about with the energy drinks is the caffeine so look up as much as you can about it. Ulcers and intestinal problems are associated with the high use of caffeine or energy drinks.

QUESTION:
What effects do energy drinks have on your heart rate?

Energy drink: Monster Energy, as said before
Normal health and blood pressure

  your heart rate ranges from 60 to 100 BPM when resting. In a test two people ran. 1 drank a monster another did not. Person with energy drink BPM was about 115, 105, 110 on 3 tries. person without energy drink did not spike but decreased after each test. The results where
  95, 93, and 81 you can see there is a drastic change of about 20 bpm. and when ever you take a sip you feel a little jolt in your heart beat
  Hope this helps

QUESTION:
Do Monster energy drinks have any long term negative effects if i only drink them 2-3 times per month?
I drink Monster energy drinks on "special occasions" about two or three times per month. I DON'T drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes or pot, or take any prescription drugs, so there isn't the risk of combining them with any of those. Also, I'm a 14 year old, 115 lb girl if that changes anything. I basically want to know if I continue this pattern for, say, 10 years, will there be any long term negative side effects when I get older?

• ANSWER:
  I’m just scratching the surface with what I have written here so let me give you some food for thought. When you are considering consuming energy drinks:

  •Make a mental note that while the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is allowing companies to sell and market their energy drink products, there is still very little research that has been done on them. I suspect the FDA allows them to be added simply because they do not pose any immediate danger to energy drink consumers.
  •The long-term effects of energy drink ingredients, if any, are still not known meaning that drinking a lot of these drinks on a consistent basis may or may not harm you in ways that have yet to be researched.
  •Energy drink labels are frequently misleading or at least they are so ambiguous that when you buy them you simply believe what you want to believe. Remember that in most cases, the claims being made have not been proven.
  •It remains unknown as to whether any medical conditions and related prescription medication will interact with energy drinks. If you try an energy drink and react poorly to it, consult a physician.

I am doing a crash diet.. yes i know the side effects to that.. and how everyone says youll gain the weight back times two.. but could someone who has an idea or experience of how you'll feel if you drink energy drinks without eatting for a week?

• ANSWER:
  The simple answer is that you'll get energy for about half an hour, but then your body will realize that it has no stored energy and you'll end up crashing with no ability to sustain yourself.

QUESTION:
Are there any studies on the long term negative effects of energy drinks?
i drink @ least 1 per day. not because i have to, but because i like to.

• ANSWER:
  No, there have been no studies on the long term effects on energy drinks. However considering their basic contents (sugar, caffeine, water, high fructose corn syrup) they are definitely not good for you. However, no studies have proved that there will be a direct negative side effect to drinking energy drinks.

  However, doctors do suggest some energy drinks over other. One highly suggested energy drink is called Efusjon Raw. It is a natural energy drink that contains acai. They can't be found in retail stores but they do offer to pay you to buy their drink. To learn more visit http://www.buyenfusjon.com.

  P.S. they taste really good. (that's always important)

QUESTION:
What are the long term effects of energy drinks?
Like drinking one red bull a day?

• ANSWER:
  Most energy drinks are loaded with caffeine. One Red Bull for example has as much sugar as 5 cans of Pepsi. I know of a guy in college that drank so much Red Bull that he developed Diabeties. This is possible. Migraines and addiction can develop from drinking these too often. The reason energy give you energy is not from the vitamins like they lead you to believe on their labels. The energy comes from the high amount of sugar and caffeine. That is why after it wears off you have this "crash" where you feel even more tired. That is a sugar crash. There are a few energy drinks out there that actually have a very high amount of B Vitamins and little to no sugar. If you drink any at all, I would recommend these.

QUESTION:
what are the side effects of energy drinks?
and which energy drink product is safe for health?

• ANSWER:
  well energy drinks are of course full of vitamin b,taurine, and cafine. those are the ones that effects you the most. too much vitamin b in a diet is unhealthy as it slows down the ability to absorb other things. Taurine is found naturally in our bodies and in some foods, such as seafood and meat. It is believed to play a role in muscle contraction and may detoxify and cleanse the body of harmful substances, though there are no definitive scientific studies confirming this, and cafine increases heart rate and blood pressure, and can cause dehydration and prevent sleep.

QUESTION:

QUESTION:
What are the effects of a 13 year old drinking to much monster energy drinks?
Ok I'm 13 and every Friday I go skating with my friends but everytime i'm there I have always have 2 monster energy drinks. On the back I've read it says not recommended for children. So what Are the effects of me having about 6 energy drinks a month?

• ANSWER:
  Honestly I would refrain from energy drinks altogether, I know a lot of kids in my highschool that drink them. So far there isn't any major research totally saying they're bad for you, but it's very likely.

  The energy drink causes your system(including your heart) to race because of the rush of caffeine and other additives. I'm certain that in the near future we'll start finding some major probalems with energy drinks, because we're already finding some problems with the intake of too much caffeine in general, may it be coffee or soda or whatever, we're getting too much of it and it's not healthy.

QUESTION:

• ANSWER:
  Lots of caffeine and lots of sugar. Both are not good for you in large doses.

is amp energy drink bad for and what does it do 2 u?(side effects)or(damages ur brain)?

• ANSWER:
  If it "damaged your brain" then it wouldn't be sold legally and it wouldn't be aired in commericials.
  Side effects? It has several times more caffeine than coffee does so it is supposed to give you extra energy, which can be horrible when your body finally does come down from its "high."
  You're full of energy and then 3 hours later it's like someone turns off the lights and you're completely exhausted.
  It just masks your exhaustion for a period of time.

What do you guys think? Is there some amazing energy drink out there I haven't tried already? Is there one that doesn't involve the 'crash' after it wears off? Or is this as good as it gets?

• ANSWER:
  Hands down, XS Energy Drink is the best! It comes in 12 different flavors/varieties (with a couple caffeine-free alternatives) and has none of the negatives of the other big-name drinks out there. Your energy comes from the 4900% Vitamin B12 (your body safely disposes of any B12 it can't metabolize) and a moderate amount of caffeine. The "crash" you refer to generally comes from the initial sugar rush, which is not a possibility with XS. It makes you feel as though you've gotten a couple good nights' sleep, NOT like you've just been injected with pure adrenaline. Cost is comparable to Red Bull. Flavors include Citrus, Cola, Root Beer, Cran-Grape, Tropical, Black Cherry Cola, Cherry, Tea Berry, Lemon...BevNet.com has reviews.

Please help.

  those u need to cycle on and off... get on them and get off them 6-8 weeks on 5 -6 weeks off...
  they are not meant to be taken every month...

  u need to drink alot of water....
  dont overdue the protein..

  id cut down on 1-3 supplments once u get certain results.... and try and just take what is essential..
  anything in excess can affect the kidneys... but it would have to be high in excess

QUESTION:
What is the most effective energy drink?
I'm a little worn out right now, but I really have to get through some studying, since I have an academic competition tomorrow. I will sleep later tonight, but I just need a little boost of energy for the next 15 hours or so until I go to bed. I fully understand the consequences of overdosing on energy drinks and even any side effects it comes with, so please, do not lecture me on it. Yes, I've used coffee and tea before, but I found that nothing seems to work as well as energy drinks.

I've tried Red Bull, Monster, and Rockstar, but I'm not sure how the rest of them are. I've heard the 5-hour works really well, but Amp tastes better. I would like your opinion, if you've tried any energy drinks.

What's the most effective energy drink you've tried? Which one tastes the best?

Thank you!

• ANSWER:
  Honestly, it's different for everyone - energy drinks may affect you differently than they do someone else. That said, I find the most effective to be Nos. Monster and Rockstar do absolutely nothing for me - I might as well just drink a cup of coffee rather than paying the three bucks for Monster. Redbull is better, although it doesn't last that long (3-4 hours and then you crash). I find that Nos gives me an even/steady energy (ie not jittery or restless or anxious) for 6-8 hours. The five hour energy shots you can buy are not bad either IF you've eaten a big meal before taking them. If you take on a full stomach, they give you a nice even focused energy, but if you haven't had food recently then they make you jittery and crazy.

  In terms of taste, my favourite energy drink was one called Tab that came in a pink can, but I haven't seen it around anywhere in a year or two. Remember to use all these things in moderation only! Good luck with school.

My question is are there any side effects on taking this many pills and powders for your digestive system? I feel fine, but are there??? Can this take a toll on your liver kidneys?

• ANSWER:
  The problem here Adrian is your internal organs and digestive system have to focus all their time dealing with all the supplements. This is WAY TOO MUCH. You are seriously overtaxing your body and creating very expensive waste.
  Just the added proteins alone can cause extensive problems for liver and kidneys trying to deal with all the excess protein.
  The Lipo 6 is a dangerous stimulant.
  Cut back to a basic multivitamin, one or two fish oil per day and one protein additive.
  Get the CLA and most of the rest of your requirements from your healthy diet.
  At your age you can be doing permanent damage including kidney and gall stones, insulin dependence or resistance, possible heart and liver damage.
  Lose all the supplements and give your body the chance to clean up and function properly.

This is a phase where I want to cut down to 8% bodyfat and I have been working out for 3 years. Now I will show you my supplement stack you can go on http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/ to check supplement facts. Now this is my stack
I take them with meals and I drink a 1 gallon of water a day

Optimum Opti-Men (Multivitimin) 1 tablet 3 times a day (morning afternoon night)
Optimum Fish oil 1 tablet 3 times a day (Mor, Aft, Night)
Optimum CLA 1 tablet 3 times a day (Mor, aft, night)
Universal amino 1900 ( Amino acids) 3 tablets in morning only
Sci fit Joint enhance 4 tablets a day( Glucusamine, CSA, MSM) ( Morning, Night)
Lipo 6 4 tablets a day (Fat burner) (Morning, Aft)
10 pills in morning, 5 in afternoon and 5 at night so 20 pills altogether.
I also take powder shakes:
Optimum 100% whey 48g of protein after workout around afternoon
Scivation xtend (Amino acids) 4 scoops
Zma nightcap 3 scoops
Sometimes I will take 1 scoop of 24 g of protein in morning depending on breakfast.
Energy drink amp sugar free before workout and that is it.
My question is are there any side effects on taking this many pills and powders for your digestive system? I feel fine, but are there??? Can this take a toll on your liver kidneys?

• ANSWER:
  Most of these are going to be ok. Protein and amino powders are pretty much like eating protein-rich foods, so unless that's all you ever eat (you mentioned you had a balanced diet, so you're fine), it's not going to negatively affect you. Vitamins are fine, caffeine is generally accepted to be helpful for increasing work outs. The only thing I would be careful with is any "fat-burner," because these are sometimes known to cause liver damage - hydroxycut is the worst one, lots of people have gotten liver damage from that. I think your biggest chance of adverse health effects is constipation from taking so many solid powders, so make sure you get your fruits in there. Blending up a banana or strawberries with your protein is always a good choice. Make sure you are getting calcium in there too, either from milk or from supplements, as you need strong bones for strong muscles to attach to.

QUESTION:
Why am I feeling uneasy about my boyfriend's new posters?
So I was at my boyfriend's house today and while I was in his room I noticed he had two new posters of women advertising the energy drink Monster. One poster was a woman in booty shorts and a torn up t shirt holding the drink. The other was just a thong and a booty with the Monster drink tucked in one of the strings. LOL, it's kinda funny when you think about it but is it normal for me to feel weirded out about it? He's never had posters like that or shown interest in things that like that so I guess it was kind of a shocker to me. In a way I kind of felt insecure! Do any other girls have boyfriends with these kind of posters? Did it ever make you feel weird?

PS! Where can I buy that poster of Mark Wahlberg in the Calvin Klein underwear? Not kidding.....if he's going to have women on his wall, I would like to have a sexy man. lol thanks!

• ANSWER:
  I'd say it is normal to feel weird. I mean, your his girlfriend...and he has other women on his wall....kinda weird haha (:

QUESTION:
Monster Engergy Drink Can?
My boyfriend of 2 years is turning 18 in a month. He absolutely loves Monster Energy drink. I want to get him a monster shirt & hat..but I'd also LOVE to get him one of those huge cans that the company gives stores to display. Not the posters, but an actual can. Does anyone know how I could get ahold of one of these? I've checked Ebay, and the official Monster site, but it was no use.

This would be the best present ever, so please help me out!
That link doesn't work. I'm not looking for a used can. I'm looking for a can that people use for display. They're really cool:)

• ANSWER:
  Go to the local convienient stores where they sell the MONSTER ENERGY DRINKS and see if they have any extra displays? Sometimes they get too many.. Or ask when they are changing displays and see if you can have the one they currently have in the store.. Call the customer service line and see if you can purchase one..

  * I did this a number of yrs. ago a friend of mine was totally i LOVE with a particular JCREW model so I called JCREW and ordered a life size poster of him and he signed it for her... It cost !

  *Check online for sponsors.. Like MOTORCROSS and see if they have an licensed products on their website...

QUESTION:
How to make a poster using rhetoric?
I need to make an advertisement for class that uses the three forms of rhetoric and promotes a product...My product I used is a 48-hour energy drink. I know its sorta silly, but how would I explain it using rhetoric on a little poster board?
oh yeah, and i need to "pitch" it to the class, I have a few ideas on how to do that but its only a 5 minute or so presentation so any ideas on good tips for presenting it?

• ANSWER:
  possible "hook" -
  There is a well-known belief that if you wait long enough, most problems solve themselves. Here is a problem that won't solve itself: letting go of the opportunity to try XYZ energy drink.

  possible logos rhetoric to add -
  All smart people need this energy drink. If you're smart, then you obviously need it also.

  possible pathos rhetoric to add -
  What if your friends and family find out that you STILL haven't tried this drink? What if everyone laughs at you and abandons you? You KNOW you don't want THAT to happen! Just imagine how scared, sad, nervous, depressed, anxious, insecure, lonely and paranoid THAT would make you feel!

  possible ethos rhetoric to add -
  Everybody knows I'm the most honest, caring, trustworthy person who ever lived. Therefore, if I'm telling you this is the best energy drink in town, you KNOW it's true!

  possible presentation -
  Get a few other classmates together. While you make your verbal presentation, they can act out each of the above scenarios. (For example, if you say, "Your friends and family will laugh at you if you don't try this drink", someone can play the person who refuses to try the drink, while a few other people pretend to point at him and laugh.)

QUESTION:
is this metonym? (or metaphor)?
so.. the metonymy of energy drink are power, speed, strength, right?
and I am doing a 'metonym' poster about energy drink and my idea is to use superhero to represent the metonym. am i doing it right?

I have a hard time to make the difference between metaphor and metonym. so yeah, please help.
thanks.
ok, i forgot to mentioned that my energy drink is Red Bull. so can i still use the idea of using superhero for my poster? or if you have any better ideas, please let me know. thx

• ANSWER:
  Power, speed, strength are not metonyms for an energy drink. The energy drink called Cocaine is a metonym, as it isn't actually cocaine, but the effects are supposedly related.

  For a comprehensive list of metonyms, see the Wikipedia article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metonymy

QUESTION:
What can I get my guy friend for Christmas? I'm willing to spend 0 on him, so help me out!?
Okay so yes I am a late Christmas shopper. Haha. He is a very generous guy ( is 24), supports his family, everything. He drives me when I need rides, just overall great guy. He loves Monster everything ( energy drink). He likes their posters ( of girls ), their energy drinks, everything. I was thinking of getting him a gas card, grocery card ( for him and family), and making him a nice basket up. His favorite colors are green and black ( monster sign), so any ideas?! Thanks! Merrrry Christmasss!

• ANSWER:
  Make a basket with a couple of Monsters, some candy/nuts/chips he likes, maybe a pack of playing cards, a nice razor or a stick of good deodorant (unless you think he would be insulted, LOL), some little packets of Excedrin tablets (my man loves those for headaches), some protein bars, and other stuff guys like.. decorate with black and green ribbon. One other thing: go to the Monster site, pull up the full size image of some of the best Monster girls, save the images to your desktop, and print from a color printer (you can use on at Staples/Kinkos/etc for cheap), if you use nice paper they will look great!! You can either make a collage with them, or just glue them individually to heavy, fancy decorative paper.Then you will have a rockin' basket!! Merry Christmas!!

  Draw people gathered in jail cells. One group have t-shirts that read "RNA" in red (black t-shirt). The other side have t-shirts that read "Protein" in black with bright pink shirts. You might want to allow the second group to be women, since pink is sometimes intimidating to men.

QUESTION:
Media Studies help please!!!?
I have a question to answer and need to discuss why a recent brand of my choice has change it brand image. I can think of Lucozade abd how they changed and went from mainly children who were ill to an energy drink. Although this was in the 80's and not recent. Recent would be in last 3 years at the most. An ideas of recent brand that has changed it's image. Needed to at least of had a campaign as well of tv and posters etc.

• ANSWER:
  The first thing that comes to mind for me is Phillip Morris and RJ Reynolds.
  If you don't know, they are tobacco companies. Big ones. Camel, Marlboro, etc.

  Talk about an image change. Used to be Joe Camel everywhere, or the Marlboro cowboy on a horse - billboards, TV, magazines, stadiums, newspapers... Now you don't see any of that, anywhere.

  Instead, they concentrate on their other businesses, even though they will always be viewed as tobacco companies.

  They are also active in - get this - stop smoking campaigns! Who would have thought of that in the 80s? I remember saving my Camel Cash in middle school to get the Joe Camel T-shirt and matching Zippo Lighter before all my friends did back then, mid 80s or so...

  Bottom line, tobacco has worked hard to change its image over the last decade or so, and should really be applauded for their stop smoking stance.

QUESTION:

• ANSWER:
  The first step is to bring a couple of empty laundry baskets and garbage bags into your room and begin sorting. Decide on what you need to keep, what you want to keep, and what should be thrown away, recycled or donated. Take anything that is in good condition that you haven't enjoyed for six months or longer and put it in the donation basket. This should include clothing that you've outgrown or lost interest in, books, toys, video games, DVDs, and jewelry. Do not put expensive or special items like family heirlooms in this pile, even if you don't like them as much anymore. Instead put them along with other items that you want to keep but don't have the space for in your room any longer in another basket. Throw away old school work that you really don't need to keep any more. Put all magazines older than 2 months that you've already read into a recycling in bags to take to your recycling bin unless you plan on making a collage out of them or they have articles you really want to read again. Carefully take all the posters off your wall. If you no longer like them at all, either put them in the pile to be donated or in a trash bag. If you do still like them, pick one to keep on your bedroom room wall and hang the others up on the inside of your closet or to roll up and keep under your bed. When you get tired of the poster you've got on the wall you can switch it out for one of the others. I'd recycle the energy cans.

  If you really love the Care Bears and don't want to part with them, find a way to contain them neatly in one area of your room or in a storage bin. I have a little white wicker chair from my childhood nursery filled with bears, and having them all in one place makes them look like the cherished keepsakes that they are and keeps my room from looking like it's been overtaken by them. Depending on how spacious your bookshelves are, you could mix a few bears in with the books sort of like little dividers / bookends, and then put the rest on the bottom two shelves.

  One of the tricks for maximizing space in a tiny dorm room is to elevate the bed so you can store things under it. You can get inexpensive bed lifters at hardware stores. They just lift your bed a couple of inches off the floor so you have more space to slide things under it. Get a couple of under-the-bed storage containers and neatly fill them with the things you want to keep in your room but no longer want to be visible. You can also store out-of-season clothes in these containers. If your bedskirt is too short to cover up the space under your bed, either get a larger one or pick something else you could use in its place, like a pretty sheet or a wall tapestry. You could also just get cute storage bins that you wouldn't mind having on display. Ask your parents if you can store other things that won't fit under your bed or on your closet shelves in other parts of the house.

  Do you really need the desk and the vanity? Since your room is small and the vanity doesn't match the rest your furniture, you could take it out of the room and donate it or find another purpose for it in your house. If it's got a mirror that can be removed you could take it off and hang on the wall above your desk or elsewhere in the room. Mirrors are wonderful in a room because they make it appear to be bigger and they bounce light around. You could also get a small makeup mirror for your desk to make it dual purpose. At my college a lot of people have a colorful storage container from Costco to house their makeup, art and school supplies and other materials. If you do want to keep the vanity, then consider painting it to have it match the rest of your room. If you have the space in one of your closets you could take the doors off and fit the vanity inside of it to sort of create an old Hollywood dressing room area.

  Ask your parents if you can get new bedding, curtains and a rug or two for your room. You could save your allowance or get a job like babysitting to help pay for them. Macy's has a Teen Vogue line that has appealing, colorful bedding and fun accessories. Target, Bed, Bath and Beyond, Delias's and Urban Outfitters also have cute, relatively affordable bedding and decor items for teens. If you can't buy new things, find ways to work with what you've got. I'd take the black and gold rug out of the room. If the curtain rod is sturdy you could hang something from the end of it like a plant, a hanging photo frame, or something colorful and artistic. Look for a throw pillow with gray, purple and green in it to help tie the whole room together. Give your room a fresh coat of paint if you're allowed. Since darker colors will make your room look smaller, look for a lighter shade. A pale lavender with a hint of gray would be pretty.

  Best of luck organizing and decorating!

I have pierced my cartilage almost all the way once at wild sleepover. We stocked up on every kind of energy drink/shot/pill we could and went to starbucks. We were so calm then the effect kicked in. We went to the mall said we were going to a movie took her moms money and went shopping. We saw a rival of ours and we started fighting we were both crying laughing and swearing. We started to get physical and they called the cops. Her mom showed up just as we saw the squad car. They were near the same mall exit so we put on our hoodies, looked down and walked the back ally until we got to her moms car. We got home and bleached our hair all pink (what we bought when we were shopping) and snuck out after being grounded in because 11 O'clock is 'too late for little girls to be alone in the city'. She lived in the suburbs! We put wigs on pillows and fat clothes badies and jumped out the window. We climbed down the gutter and out into the streets we walked about three miles doing nothing but talking. Then when we got home we printed out HUGE goth/emo/scene posters and PLASTERED them all over her preppy sisters wall. (Yes we are goth/emo/scene/punk/indie/artsy). Then we went up to her room with nothing to do. We found a canister of needles and got some ideas. I pierced her cartilage and belly button and she did me cartilage. We got to the point where we heard the pop and I got scared. She stopped there on mine. We woke up and I would assume thats what a hangover feels like. 12 PM puking. Her mom made us green pancakes with our names on them. Now for the advice needed. How do I do it again. Give me directions how to do it and hide it. Now tell me why i shouldnt. I'm doing it. Your answer could depend on my parilyzation! My mom knows i want it done and offered to do it for me because I am not 13 and cannot get it done legally. I am 12. Where can I get it done in CHICAGO? My mom wont do it because she says I have 'thick' ears and is scared. Please reply FAST!

• ANSWER:
  haha umm i cant believe i just read that whole thing?
  i pierced my cartilage by myself MANYYYY times, its really not that bad, you cant get paralyzed ..?
  lol idk where you got that from, but just get a needle and a sharp earring, CLEAN them with alcohol or burn it with a lighter for a sec.
  then yeahh you know what to do, it doesnt hurt that bad if you dont think about it, just push hard. and after the needle goes through pull it out and stick the earring in really quick.
  ORRR if you have like a sally beauty supply store near you or anything like that, they have these ear piercing kits for like five bucks that already comes with an earring, its kinda like a gun but you push it.
  this answer is way too long, but anywaays have fun.

• ANSWER:
  I actually saw that same ad. I personally think it is a scam. It is probably part of Amway (or whatever they changed their name to). However, I found a great job on craigslist that I thought was a scam! I kept waiting to find out it wasn't true, but the checks starting coming in. I have become extremely cynical these days, but found out that not everything is bad.

  Just make sure that you don't have to put any money upfront or give out too much of your information. If they ask you to cash a check, etc, run!

  No one is going to look that all up for you - and you should be doing your own homework. The homework is not just an art project - you are supposed to learn how to figure that all out for yourself.

QUESTION:
my cat has died today im so sad?
well i had a six months old cat, called lola, she was so adorable. we used to live on top of the shops so she had no acsess to out side, we then moved a month ago to harborne, everything was fine. she had acsess to outside she loved it. a week a go she was loosing hair in clumps,
i thought this was normal that cat lose there hair, then yesterday she wouldnt eat and the stray cat used to come in our balcony and eat off her food, today she wasnt eating and washaving trouble breating and weeing all over the floor, she never had the energy to go to the litter tray. she was miaowing but not for food or drink its like she was saying help, i was stroking her she wasnt even purring, i made an appointment with the vet at 4.45pm and about 4pm she had passed away, she wasnt vaccinated, im so upset that i want her back and that she cant, i went to the vet to get her crenated and while i was at the vet i seen a poster of a cat looking exactly like her. i wish i did things differently. i cant believe shes gone, does anybody know what happens to cats souls and do there remember us.

• ANSWER:
  I agree with the rainbow bridge poem. I think the worst thing to go through is watching someone/something you love suffer. I think pets come into our lives for a reason as people do. We may not understand the reason now, but someday we will. And if we never understand, does it really matter? My cats have given me so much unexplainable joy. They taught me to love unconditionally and never hold a grudge. They love me despite all my flaws.
  Unfortunately, you can't go back and change what happened, but you will never lose that bond. I strongly believe that you will see Lola again. I can't imagine God creating a heaven that doesn't have the thing that I love most in this world. And no heaven shall heaven be, if my cat isn't there to greet me!!!!!
  When you are ready to bring another kitty into your heart, take her to the vet and get a complete check up and vaccines. Its not going to guarantee she won't get sick in the future, but it will prevent many serious illnesses that cats can acquire.
  It will take a long time for your heart to heal. I still tear up when I think about my kitty and its been 10 years. If you want more information on animals and afterlife, I recommend the book "There is Eternal Life for Animals" by Niki Shanahan. It was very comforting to read after my Joey passed away.

QUESTION:
What Do U Think Of My Story So Far?
sorry this is long!!

-------
“Brooklyn!” My younger brother Aaron screams after me. Me and Amber keep running, almost tripping from laughing so hard. “Brooklyn! Give me back the stupid remote!” He screams.
Me and Amber have just interrupted him and his stupid show, the amazing baseball with the stupid Chicago Cubs. I just stole the remote and shut off the TV, and now he’s flipping out on me by running and screaming.
My mom steps in front of me and I skid to a halt. “Brooklyn, give your brother the remote back. It is, after all, his fifteenth birthday.” She looks at me with the Do-What-I-Say-Right-Now-Before-I-Have-To-Take-Your-Friend-Home look. I sigh and toss Aaron the remote.
He quickly turns the game back on and screams. “They won! Oh my god! The Cubs just won the World Series!” He freaks out for another minute or two then my mom calms him down. She tells him to go to his friend Tony’s house and celebrate there and that he can spend the night. He runs out like a bat out of hell, too.
Me and Amber help my mom out in the kitchen a bit before we go back up to my room. As we enter my room, Amber’s mouth drops open. This is her first time here. The four poster bed is encircled by bronze engraved end tables and lamps, and the bed holds plush pillows colored deep reds, browns, and gold hues. Arches accent the walls, and the chandelier is directly above the bed. It is heaven in here.
“This… is your room?” She asks, stunned by the beauty.
I smile. “Yep,” then I laugh. “You should see my parents’ room. Or try Aaron’s. Both of them are about ten times as big as my room.” We laugh in harmony and Amber takes out a yearbook from her backpack. Me and her smile like the Cheshire Cat. Yearbook Time.
“Goth! Emo! Prep! God, that dude was a jerk! She was so pretty! That’s, Adam? No it’s not! God, he’s cute! Ohmigosh, that teacher was a pervert!” Amber and I echo. We keep laughing and pointing at teachers, students, enemies, best friends, and everyone who has a funny picture from kindergarten all the way to this year. By the time we’re done laughing and drinking almost five root bear floats, it’s already three in the morning.
“What do you wanna do now?” Amber half laughs, half whispers.
“Well, we should be kind of quiet. My mom and dad are sleeping but they’re really heavy sleepers, so I say not over volume ninety-nine.” I grin as I take a drink of my sixth root beer float.
“Music video parody time?” Amber asks.
“I’ll go get my camera!” I laugh, and then run out to the living room. My video camera is right by my pet bunny’s cage. I stick my finger through the cage and pet her nose. Then I double check to make sure the door is locked and return to Amber.
When I walk into my room, all I hear is Davey Havok screaming “Medicate!”
“Amber! Turn it down!” I scream. She jumps when she hears my voice but turns the music down. “Thank you,” I whisper. She returns it with a smile.
“So I guess we’re making fun of Davey, Adam, Hunter, and Jade?”
“Duh! Those guys are so hot though! AFI’s my favorite band! Right there with the Beatles!” Amber whispers.
I laugh. “You don’t have to whisper, Amber, just stay a little bit quiet. Just make sure to save your energy for the video!”
She nods. “I call Davey! I have the hair for it! Or at least his old hair!” Truthfully, she does. Amber has a bit of Asian in her, and her hair is naturally black, and a couple months ago she highlighted parts of it bleach blond. The style is something like very short on the right, with the left side swept down all the way past her chin. I’ve always compared her hair to the way Rihanna used to have it.
“Fine! I call Jade and Adam! I have a flat iron and a black wig!” I laugh. “You’re stuck with Hunter! Don’t worry, I’m sure if we shave your head now, it’ll grow back by the time you’re forty.” I laugh some more.
Sadly, I don’t get to shave Amber’s head bald. We eventually find a bald cap that my oldest brother, Chase, had from an old play. So that’s what she wears for Hunter. After two hours of making fun of “Miss Murder”, editing the video, and putting it on You Tube, we finally crash out at five a.m.
I’m dreaming of Edward Scissorhands and me out on a date when Amber shakes me awake. “Brookes! I heard someone open the front door!”
I look around, still groggy, and see that it’s still dark out. I squint and see my digital clock. It reads five forty five. “Amber… it’s almost six in the morning… no one opened the door… go back to sleep. We’ll be fine. My dad has a gun room downstairs. If anything happens… we’ll just go down… there…” I say, partially falling asleep.
“Brookes! Wake up!” Amber slaps me across the face. Not hard, but enough to give me an electric shock.
“Ouch! That hurt!” I jolt up. She mouths a sorry and stands up. “Let me get changed first. I’m freezing,” I look at her and she nods. I go to my walk in closet and change from my blue pajama pants to black skinny jeans and change my black te
tee shirt to an old purple Aeropostale shirt my mom had gotten me. When I walk out of my closet I see that Amber has changed into her matching jeans and an AC/DC shirt.
“Amber… I swear. It’s nothing…” I start to say that it was probably just Aaron, but then I remember he spent the night at a friend’s house.
“Brookes, can we just check it out? Or go to your dad’s gun room thing?” She asks. I nod and start to open the door, but then close it immediately. “Brookes! What was it?”
I can tell my eyes are wide. I don’t need a mirror to see that. “I, I think I just saw a guy…” I whisper. I walk across the room and grab my enV Touch. “Come on, Amber. We’re going downstairs…”
“What about your mom and dad?”
“My dad went to work and five… and I think my mom drives him.” She nods and we quickly leave the room to the downstairs. “Um, Amber? How about we go the cops? I don’t think it’s that good of an idea to stay here…”
“Yeah, I guess. Is there a door down here?” I nod and we leave throu
through there.
“Wait!” I half whisper, half yell when we are about ten feet from the house. “I forgot Char!” I run back in and up the stairs. I am shocked to see she’s not in her cage and turn to leave when I hear Amber scream. I run back down and out the door.
Outside, right where I left her, is Amber. She is lying on the ground with blood surrounding her. I can’t tell if she is alive or not. “Amber…” I whisper. “Amber…”
I see her mouth moving to form words. Then she whispers quietly. “Is he gone?”
“What? Who?” Amber sits up and I almost die from a heart attack.
“I’ll take that as a yes. Come on, we have to hurry. That idiot just slammed a meat cleaver in my leg.” I notice then that her pants are torn.
“Can you walk?” I feel stupid for asking, but she says that she can. We immediately make a run for the forest in my backyard. I look behind one final time and swear I see a light on in my parents’ room. Before we enter the dark forest, I hear my mother’s scream and my father’s
yell. Tears immediately stream down my face

yea... sorry it's so long!

• ANSWER:
  It's all right but I think it would sound much better in the past tense. Give it a try and read it out loud to see if it flows better like that, it usually does. The main character's name is Brooklyn? Right away I have no idea if that's a boy or a girl, I thought a boy right away. Also, brush up on your grammar if you're serious. It should be Amber and I. Same with she and I smile like the Cheshire cat.

  Then, where does Mom come from? Right now she comes from out of nowhere, just be aware of that. YOu don't need to say 'stunned by the beauty,' that's telling not showing - plus it's pretty obvious why she's stunned. Maybe 'she was stunned. Her mouth gaped open as she took it all in...'

  It's fine up until they're drinking root beer floats. Do these just appear in the bedroom or do they go down to the kitchen for them? Are there servants that bring them? Just elaborate.

  I'm not sure what volume ninety-nine is. I have no idea who AFI is either, but if it fits the characters, then maybe the younger kids will get it.

  This is not necessary:
  I can tell my eyes are wide. I don’t need a mirror to see that.

  Or describe it in another way. I thought the parents were asleep? Are they there or did they go to work? Would Brooke be having a sleepover during the week? Char is the rabbit? Then the mother and father yell, but the MC thought they were at work? Change those things and you'll be off to a good start.

  Good luck!

QUESTION:
Is a "fruit and water" diet OK for me?
Well basically, I'm a fat beast (lol.) and I wanna loose weight. Fruits got my minerals, vitamins and nutrients, and water is healthier than fizzy drinks, like cola, lemonade or even lucozade. I'm just concerned about the carbs, for energy and to keep my brain working. I was thinking eating a whole wheat breakfast, and then having fresh fruit and vegtables for my other meals. I do like salad, but that doesn't really help; theres posters all over the gym stating that. I'm 15 and I just wanna know if thats OK for me ? x

• ANSWER:
  Good for you, taking the initiative to get healthy!

  I was an overweight teen as well. And this is the plan that I used to help me shed the pounds:

  Breakfast:
  1/2 a grapefruit
  1/2 a bagel w/ lite cream cheese
  BIG cup of water

  Lunch
  Salad w/ almonds
  BIG cup of water

  Dinner
  I would either have a salad or the other 1/2 of my grapefruit.
  with guess what???
  A BIG cup of water

  I would not eat past 7pm, but if throughout the day i needed a snack, i ate a bag of 94% fat free popcorn.
  Also, remember that depriving yourself is NOT changing your lifestyle. So If I ever wanted a slice of pizza or a cookie. I did eat it. I just ate one piece of pizza and one cookie, instead of 3 and 3. =)
  Also, I lifted weights. I bought some 5 lb weights and just went to town. I didn't use any special form. I just lifted. Eventually I bought a stepping block as well to use, and I would work out every night after dinner for an hour.
  Lifting weights really helps, b/c once you start lifting it helps keep your metabolism up so you are always burning calories.

  I am now A LOT older and i have been able to keep the weight off for over 15 years. You can do it. Have faith in yourself! Good Luck!!!

  I would like to add: That with any plan you should take a multi vitamen.

QUESTION:
my friend, and then, what is to say?
I did whatever it took to stay friend's with my friend. She suffered from major anxiety issues. Maybe I should have talked more.., all of my energy went to her sports and fitness, play hunts, playing outside and adventures. Her music turned to hardcore.. with zombie looking people on the posters absolutely covering her whole room. I wish I could have given her the knowledge I knew now about premature maturity. Her "friend" online, she liked to talk to everyday, but would be ignored by her in school.. her pet name "pup". I think she had some sort of a seizure. My poor baby. No matter how much we would fight about how to play (like 2 times) I still was her best friend. She cut a huge slice into her arm and had to go to the hospital so she wouldn't die. That disgusts me. She slit herself. She took a hammer to her fingers.. She was on medication. I got really mad at her. I started to hate her.. I was drunk, I will admit. I was under the impression that she was trying to torment me while I was 10. Because she tried to show me a porn with a very old man, and the girl looked very very young. I was severely traumatized after that but smoked pot for a year and a half and it took away all the pain. She was trading sex emails with strangers.. This was before I was in middle school she was doing this. Finally I sent her an email describing the type of monster she created. This was horrible. We met up one time after that and now she still is just trying to act better than me like she always did. She actually used to wip her softball so hard that I would be in too much pain. She actually used to be bossy. I don't make fun of people calling them a Pig like she did. What is to say? I don't watch a lot of movies like she does, play video games and accept every person that friend requests me on facebook. So she was kinda mean and then I sent her a nasty email.. I mean it was fake actually.. still really mean. I told her she was a monster, and that if she gets too close to me I'll rip her out one, not to mess with even my brother and I called her a playing fuck head. But it took 3 paragraphs to summarize it as I was so shooken up by everything. I just didn't want to see it again. It was so bad.

The thing is we promised to be each other's bridesmaids, to live in our home town forever, to play bingo as old ladies.. Friend's till the end. It feels like a death in the family. I was very upset at her.. But I don't rub it into her face like she does to me. I'm sad because now I have no best friend and getting over that was tough.

This is what false friendship leads to?

• ANSWER:
  I don't believe it was a *FALSE* friendship, she was your friend at one time. Then she changed, like all humans do. She obviously has issues that contribute to that, but it seems like she's trying to control those. From what you said, she might have had a bad life at home, when she was little. Not to be mean. In the end, you just have to remember, people change, and life goes on.

QUESTION:
Am I actually depressed..?
I looked up the signs of depression and I realized that I have most of them and technically I have all of them but I'm not sure if I'm actually depressed or not because I get happy and I laugh.. I'm not sad all of the time.. I feel like I'm pretty normal. (By the way, I'm 15 and I'm copying these symptoms from Web MD)

1) Persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" mood (which also ties into loss of interest or pleasure in activities, including sex) - I don't really enjoy anything.. I just had my mom tell me yesterday that it's weird that I don't have a favorite of anything at all. I don't like animals or anything.. parties.. I don't even like to socialize with my friends because it's just way too boring.. I'd rather stay home and just.. write or read.

2) Restlessness, irritability, or excessive crying - I get so annoyed with stupid people. Some people just say the dumbest things and I can't stand them -.- I cry at night a lot. I don't really like to cry in front of other people. But then it's not like I'm sad for days on end. Whenever I do cry (which is often) I play the piano to myself and I feel a lot better.

3) Appetite and/or weight loss or overeating and weight gain - I'm not gaining weight, I'm losing it. This could be because I'm lazy or it could be because I'm never really that hungry. I don't eat breakfast, I have a hot pocket for lunch and I don't eat or drink anything else. Recently I've discovered that I have anemia and I was wondering if I had depression could the depression have caused it.

4) decreased energy, fatigue, feeling "slowed down" - Ties in with number 3. I haven't been eating so I'm a lot slower than I used to be, can't stand up for long periods of time without getting tired.. I don't ever want to get out of bed kind of thing.

5) Thoughts of death or suicide, or suicide attempts - I've never actually tried to commit suicide, I thin I'm way too scared to do that but I do have at least 10 suicide notes hidden around my room.. a lot of them are in my closet. One of them is written on the blank side of my MJ poster. I think about suicide all the time. I wouldn't actually do it though.

6) Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions - This is more of the difficulty remembering thing. I can't remember what I did two days ago. Let alone a week. I can barely remember what I did earlier today.

7) Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment, such as headaches, digestive disorders, and chronic pain - Just the headaches. I have a headache right now .-.

Sleeping too much or too little, early-morning awakening - Both!! I tried to explain this to my mom (I didn't realize it was a symptom of depression at the time) and I was telling her that either I have to go to sleep at like 4 AM in the morning (to wake up at 6:15 AM) or go to sleep extremely early (maybe around 8 PM). It's because I either sleep too late or sleep too little. If I go to sleep right now (it's 4 AM) I'll probably wake up at 8 AM. If I had gone to sleep at 11 PM I would've woken up at about 1 PM.

9) Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness, hopelessness, pessimism - This is the most evident symptom. One day after school I spent two hours in one of the private music rooms with the lights off, crying and tell myself I was worthless. It was the worst two hours I've ever experienced and I really don't ever break down like that in anywhere that's even close to being public.

One of the factors of the risks for depression that I know I have is losing a parent before the age of 10. Thanks for reading all of this and I really hope you could help me.
Oh and I kinda researched this and a lot of sites ask if I've experienced a change in sleeping habits or eating.. I don't know what to say to that because I've always been the way I described above or at least since I was about 10 or 11. I've always been fairly good at hiding my emotions from other people because I just find it a lot easier not to have them.

• ANSWER:
  It CAN be depression. I've had depression since I was 11. I went through periods where it was mild, with moments where, like you, I could laugh, but then it would worsen far more and for several months. This cycle went on for years, but I ridiculed myself, and I was great at hiding my emotions. Well in the end it 'blew up', and I developed severe anorexia and almost lost my life to it at age 15.
  So, I hope I don't sound scary, but if you have all these emotions bottled up inside, do try to express them. Show them. Talk to someone, get therapy. You want to deal with them, not ignore them! If you already have so many of the symptoms, yes there is a big chance you have real depression! Don't think that 'enjoying' your time every once in a while means you really are okay on the inside. Do get help asap. And good luck

QUESTION:
Rockstar energy drink, need some answers.?
Yesterday I was shopping with a friend. I usually drink the enegery drink Wicked, but where i was at there was none, so I decided to try a Rockstar instead. I hadn't even drank half the can yet when weird things started to happen. like, my heart was beating ridiculously fast, every minute or so i would become a bit dizzy and even a few times i felt as though I was tipsy. i also began to feel really nauseous and thought i was going to throw up.

but i have hardly ever had energy drinks before, just a bit so i know its not because ive drank too much.

I was just wondering if there is any reason why this happened and if it has ever happened to anyone who has drank Rockstar before. Or fi there is anything in it that other energy drinks dont have??

Thanks!!!

  Any Energy drink that contains Caffeine, Guarana, Taurine and B vitimins can cause these reactions. (This includes Rockstar, but also Monster, No Fear, Red Bull, and many others)

  What these chemicals do is activate your "flight or fight" response in your body. Basically they tell the primitive part of your nervous system that a sabertooth tiger just started to run at you.

  So your body speeds up your heart, your breathing (making you hyperventilate/feel dizzy/tipsy) and can also make you very irritable and reactive. It can also make your stomach turn, largely because your body is saying "RUN RUN RUN RUN!"

  Are these things dangerous? In a normal person, especially one that uses a lot of high-caffeine products...there is minimal risk. But for someone who does not drink a lot of caffiene, who may have a heart or breathing problem, yes, even a little bit of this stuff can make you react like this. And yes, there is some risk to making yourself "high" this way - you could experience an irregular heartbeat or pass out from hyperventilation. (also there is some minor evidence that energy drinks can cause stroke, but this is unproven for now)

  I don't know the drink Wicked - but It may be that it does not contain Guarana, which is like a "hyper-caffeine" and is hundreds of times stronger than regular caffeine. If so - be aware that most Energy Drinks have this compound and you may experience these symptoms again.

  Next time buy a smaller can or share it with a friend. Or just don't drink it at all.

QUESTION:
is drinking energy drinks past there bb4 date ok?
i just found a shop that is selling rockstar energy drinks for 50c (41 american cents) a can and ive been having 1 a day sometimes 2. but they have passed there best before date 8 months ago. is this bad? should i stop buying them or is it ok to keep drinking them. i dont think i need them i just think they are nice so yeah.... and also is it weird that my piss is now fluro green sort of.
and one last thing in america and other countrys do you have the energy drink V because in new zealand its our biggest energy drink but i dont see it on like supercross and sponsoring athletes and sh*t

• ANSWER:
  It's fine to drink them past their best before date. It just means that they were BEST before that date, they're ok now, but not as good as before. Your pee is probably fluro green because you're not drinking enough water. Slow down on the energy drinks and drink 8 glasses of water a day.

  No other countries do not have V

QUESTION:
Contact information for energy drinks?

I work for a hug hotrod shop and these guys relay on these drinks to get them through the day. im wanting to find a number for a sales rep or whoever I need to to get a machine or sponsor us with free drinks....

Monster
Rockstar
NOS

www.myspace.com/houseofhotrods

• ANSWER:
  Check the drink container on each of these. Get out your glasses - it's usually in really small print. There should be a contact phone number to call for customers. They should be able to put you in touch with the sales department.

  I don't drink the ones you're asking about, but the ones I do drink all have consumer information phone numbers and websites on them.

  Hope you can get them to give you some freebies.

  I just checked out your myspace. Nice page - and you're in the Metroplex to boot!

QUESTION:
Where can i purchase international brand Energy Drinks in Australia?
I'm a big fan of energy drinks, but the lack of variety in our country angers me. Is there any way possible that you can purchase international based beverages such as Full Throttle, Bawls, Nos? Or different flavors of particular energy drinks like Rockstar Citrus, Zero Carb, Pomegranate and Roasted. Or Monster M-80, Assault, KAOS & Java? If anyone can suggest to me particular Australian retailers, that would be amazing, or even online shops that offer these drinks for purchase. Any answer regarding this question would be awesome, thank you =)

• ANSWER:
  Not that im very interested in energy drinks, i think they are all very very bad for you.

  However, why not approach the stores and ask for them to stock these products for you.

  I have had several products put on the shelf this way.

  Good luck.

how to go to sleep PLEASE HELP ASAP?
we're leaving to go shopping at 5 in the morning so my goal is to get to bed at 10:30 but im not tired...i have a rockstar energy drink for the morning but id really like to be at bed by 10:30 any ideas??

THANKS

• ANSWER:
  Lay down with the lights out, the door closed, and the room quiet. Relax your breathing, and work on slowing it down. Concentrate on your heartbeat, and deliberately try to slow it down. Consciously relax all muscles, then one area at a time, tense and relax your muscles - first one foot, then the calf above it, then the thigh. Next, the same on the other leg. Then do the pelvis muscles, the abdominal muscles, then your chest. Work your way from one hand to the shoulder, then the other arm. Finally, your neck and facial muscles.

  Finally, concentrate on the feeling that all tension and pain and energy is draining out of your body, from your head down to the neck, then one arm out through your fingers, then the other, and so on back down your body.

  If that doesn't work, go get a shot of Niquil.

im 15 and sleeping pills make me have a 'hangover' in the morning

• ANSWER:
  don't take a sleeping pill!!!!! It makes it a lot harder to get up in the morning. I had the same problem. I listen to music sometimes, but just about every night I read before bed. It works just about everytime. But if you really can't sleep, you need to get up and do something. I'll do crunches, pushups, lunges, or just something to get out all my energy. You don't even need to work out, you just need an activity to do for 10 minutes, like drawing, watching t.v. or writing. GOOD LUCK! I know this is stressful, I'm still working on it!

QUESTION:
What herbs and vitamins help you to stay awake? Does ginseng help keep you awake?
I have every other weekend off.I work the night shift as a nurse aide at a nice nursing home.

QUESTION:
How would I go about ordering monster energy drinks wholesale?
I'm looking to buy 500-1000 cans of lo-carb monster energy drink. I live in Boston Massachusetts. Does anyone know how I could order these wholesale? Thanks
I don't care if they are healthy or not... the question isn't at all related to their nutritional value.

• ANSWER:
  Hello Benjamin

  I came across an energy drink that you can buy in bundle and you will actually be spending less than if you were to go to Monster or Red Bull or one of those other major energy drink distributors. The more you buy the less per serving you would have to pay. For example

  100 Servings or equivalent to 100(8oz) cans you would be around spending

  200 Servings or equivalent to 200(8oz)cans you would be spending around 0

  For the bulk you mentioned
  800 Servings or equivalent to 800(oz)cans you would be spending around 0

  The reason it is so cheap is because they have eliminated the can and put it in a easy to carry packet.

  Hope this helps..

QUESTION:
How do you build a six pac and anyone know of a good Organic energy drink?
well doesnt have to be exactly easy cause no work out that shows results is easy if that were true eceryone would be walking around with six pacs lol Any advice oh and does anyone know of a Organic energy drink that wakes you up and is healthy for you at the same time?

• ANSWER:
  I would suggest supersetting or interval training. it combines strength training(for building lean muscle tissue) and cardio(for fat burning). you don't need any fancy equipment or an expensive gym membership.

  example: squats, push-ups, pull-ups, mountain climbers(if you can't do a push-up or pull-up=> use dumbbells or resistance bands & do a pushing exercise and a pulling exercise instead). do 15 reps of each back to back to back to back without resting. that equals 1 set. rest 30-60 secs. repeat. do 3-5 complete sets. Do this 3-4x/week.

  If you noticed there are no sit-ups or crunches in this workout. the best way to burn fat and tighten up your midsection & core is through total body exercises! This style of training doesn't have you spending in hours and hours a week training either. They are short, fast and effective!

  These workouts are great for women or men!

  good luck

QUESTION:
Has anyone else tried STEAZ organic energy drink?
Seriously, I tried one about a week and a half ago and this stuff is AMAZING. I am constantly tired no matter how much I sleep. I am only 25 and I was getting really sick of it. Tried regular energy drinks and they made me jittery, crash and also I break out from acne from it.
But I tried STEAZ which I found in the organic section of the grocery store and it is AMAZING. I feel so good ALL DAY LONG!!!
Has anyone else tried this drink!?!
thats weird cuz caffiene gives me acne. Like almost instantly. I drink a dew or a monster and the next day ive have a nasty zit. When I dont drink caffiene, I have a great complexion.
Steaz doesnt give me acne. I think maybe cuz its natural caffiene. I DUNNO! But I love it!

• ANSWER:
  Yes, and I got quite wired from it. Although organic, it says that there is 80 mg of caffeine in the drink on the can, which is more than one cup of coffee. It's really the caffeine that's giving you a lift.

QUESTION:
How long does it take to regain energy after opiate withdrawl?
I know everyone is different, it has been 7 weeks since my husband cold turkey put down pain killers, is addiction was only 4 months in duration, but he can not regain energy. We have tried B complex and flax seed, suggested by the Dr. Also the energy vitamin packs at GNC for men. I don't want him to become addicted to Mt Dew and Red Bull, or other energy drinks. I just ordered Maca today, a chinese organic product. He wants to stay O-natural! Any suggestions?

• ANSWER:
  the thing is that opiates flood the body with enorphins. when addiction starts the body no longer produces enophins because the drug did it for them.

  but after detoxing it usualy takes a month or two for the body to get back into the swing of things. he NEEDS to excersize. its the best but also the most uncomfortable for someone in his condition. it will be painful and he realy wont like it but eventualy the endophins start flowing and he exersizing will be easy

QUESTION:
Energy Bars during pregnancy?
I am a big fan of the Cliff bars (they are natural and organic energy bars sold at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods) I am 7 months pregnant and I usually have a bar for breakfast.....is it a good idea to eat them? I mean are there any restrictions against energy bars or energy drinks?

• ANSWER:
  I was wondering the same thing since I'm also a big fan of Cliff bars. I think the only concern is the extra vitamins that they add to the bar. That plus a prenatal vitamin may be too much. Some vitamins in excess are toxic during pregnancy. That said, I still eat the occasional cliff bar (I'm 5 months pregnant). Just in case, I would ask your Dr. about extra vitamins in food, but I wouldn't worry too much, compared to some bars the vitamins in cliff bars aren't excessive.

QUESTION:
How many Steaz Energy Drinks?
How many is too much in a week? (theyre the organic ones)

• ANSWER:
  probably any more than 3. They probably aren't super bad for you but having too many can probably make you addicted so I figure 3 is probably good because it gives you a day in between each one and then 2 days over the weekend. At least you are drinking Steaz but always remember moderation it is the same with anything you do.

QUESTION:
Who likes energy drinks??? do you like piss?
Im all in for a redbull and vodka but most people dont know whats in most things they drink. almost all energy drinks like Red Bull contain Taurine. Here is the deffinition of Taurine, Taurine, or 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, is an organic acid. It is a major constituent of bile and can be found in the lower intestine and, in small amounts, in the tissues of many animals, including humans.
im still gonna drink one every now and then, whats your guys opinions?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurine
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Bull

• ANSWER:
  "most people don't know whats in most things they drink"

  I am not one of them, I do not eat what I do not know but I see your point. When you consider that milk that most people drink everyday is the breastmilk of a cow, this isn't too weird in comparison, animal products are just part of our diets.

QUESTION:
Say you have a product that you want to sell?
If you had a product that you wanted to sell at a gas station, how would you approach it? It's an all natural, organic energy drink. Do you ask them to sell it and then ask for some of the profit, do you have them buy it wholesale from you then they sell it on their own? How does this work????

• ANSWER:
  It first depends upon if this is a franchise or a company store. If it's a company store, you have to go through the corporation ... the local manager will have little or no say in the matter.

  If it's a franchise of a large company, the large company may have rules that prevents franchises from selling "unauthorized" products.

  If it's a franchise without such rules or if it's an independent, the store owner can make the decision. And, in this case, there are several ways to make this happen. The least risk for the owner would be to do it on a commission ... you would own the product, and the store would keep a percentage of each sale. As a new product, the owner will be reluctant to do it wholesale.

QUESTION:
What is good to sale at an outdoor organic market?
I was thinking:

XS Energy Drinks
Snack Bars
Vegetable Soap
Glycerine Soap

Any ideas? Does anyone ever attend these?

• ANSWER:
  Well..you could sell ORGANIC foods/items..like:
  -tomatoes
  -apples
  -grapes
  -different types of melon
  -handmade soaps
  and so on. These thing's are organic because they are either hand made/picked or w.e. and eco friendly. Regular soap that you would buy at the store with all the chemicals in it and such are not in any way organic because they are pasteurized and everything through factories. Hope i helped..

  -christine

  PS: definition(s) of organic:
  -of or relating to foodstuff grown or raised without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides or hormones; "organic eggs"; "organic vegetables"; "organic chicken"
  -simple and healthful and close to nature; "an organic lifestyle"

help my sister w/eating disorder???
Okay so my sister used to be a little bigger, and now she is 15 and gotten much much thinner and is obsessed with eating low calorie things like celery and organic energy drinks. She has also been exercising a LOT in the past few months. So I was in her room today looking for a shirt and I found dieting supplements. Should I be concerned b/c she is only 15???? What should I do?

  you might want to ask her what's up. It's normal to be concerned about your Lil' sis. Also, with everything going on these days with being to fat or to skinny... I think you should confront her calmly about this, and if that doesn't work...get mom involved

QUESTION:
Is it an organic or vegan drink?
Doctor reccomdes that I need protein for me well-being, I am looking for protein drink.

I found one that is called "Boost Nutrioritional Energy Drink" it is free of gluent, has 26 vitamin and minerals, nutrionally/ balanced for energy also free of lactose

all of it sounds good, but is it vegan or organic? i doesn't want drink cow's milk. i can't find it in ingredient. please read and be sure for me before i purchase. http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=195065&catid=79683 /then go to ingredient tab and read. either organic or vegan is okay.
I was just asking to make sure! I don't want drink cow's milk. Organic is easier on absorb as well vegan .
Bmage: if it is cow's milk , it won't be easy to absorb, but organic or vegan will be easier to do so because it has soy and good stuffs. It why I rather organic or vegan.

• ANSWER:
  Not vegan and likely not organic.

  I looked through the ingredients very briefly and sure enough in bold it stated it contained soy and milk protein. While there is nothing mentioned about the item being organic, when in doubt.. it probably isn't. If it was, they'd have an organic seal slapped on it immediately so they could make more profit from the same product. If you want an organic energy drink, you'll have to search specifically for it.

  I'm just curious, but why do you want just one or the other (Referencing the "organic OR vegan")?

is lortab and caffeine?
Ok ummmm I like to drink this organic energy drink and it has caffeine in it. And i was wondering if i could take lortab and still drink it. like i go to school and stuff so i dont want to be all drowsy.

• ANSWER:
  There is no significant drug interaction between hydrocodone/acetaminophen (Lortab) and caffeine. I don't know your medical history so if your taking it legitimately, and in moderation your fine, but your playing a dangerous game if your just taking lortab for the high.

  if calories in is greater than those burned, the excess is stored as fat. Carbohydrates are a major source of calories.

  They tend to make you store more as muscles.

QUESTION:
Vitamins, energy. Carbs?
Since vitamins are organic how come they don't give energy? I know carbs, proteins, etc. Give energy. But how come vitamins do not? What about those energy drinks?

Also, I have been excercising my Lats (back) for 3 months now. And I have not seen much improvement. I notice an increase in strength but not size. What am I doing wrong? (I lift heavy).

• ANSWER:
  Vitamins don't have energy (calories) they're just vitamins. Only fat, carbs, and protein can give energy. The body's preferred source of energy is carbs. Energy drinks are a waste of money because most of them, like Gatorade, are just sugar water.

  I'm sure they've improved a little, you just don't notice because it's on yourself. Try doing a heavy exercise first, then move onto different exercises. Train your lats from all different angles. Use exercises like pull-downs, pull-ups, rows, etc. Use different grips and different bars. Train from any angle you can think of and use proper form. Also remember to eat enough protein.

The food tasted great and I lost about 30 pounds in 2 months. My energy level skyrocketed and I felt great. You gotta realize that I ate as much as I wanted to eat morning, night, and noon. Also, I drank only organic drinks and also bottled water. I had to stop buying the organic food becuase it was too expensive and I could no longer afford it. As time passed I gained all of the weight back that I had lost. Never in my 47 years have I lost so much weight so fast while eating all that I wanted to eat with little exercise (I walked about 30 minutes a day). Why do you suppose that the organic food diet helped me to lose so much weight. Isn't food food, no matter if it is organic or not. PLease let me hear from some of you health freaks out there. Thanks a lot. PS - I sure wish I could afford to stay on an organic food diet - I bet I would lose 50 pounds if I could.!!

• ANSWER:
  Unfortunately food is not food. The "regular" grown food is grown in soil that is not rich in nutrients. Thats why a regular carrots has no taste or worse a fowl taste. But an organic carrot is sweet and very tasty, the way it should be. They also don't use pesticides, herbacides, or waxes, dyes, and sprays on organic foods. Organic is the only way to go......BUT you are totally right about the cost. I would love to only feed my body and the bodies of my children with pure, healthy organic food, but I can't afford it. I buy the organic foods I can afford, carrots, celery, bananas.

  Basically organic foods are so high in nutrients, minerals, and vitamins that they help your body to work at it's best. Think of it like your car, if you put regular gas in it the car runs bad, lots of stinky exhaust, tics and pings etc. But when you put in premium gas your car runs smooth. Same with us, the foods we eat are our fuel, if we eat cheap, over processed foods we don't run as well as if we gave ourselves high end premium.

  Hope I helped, good luck

QUESTION:
What foods and/ or drinks are good for your health?
Like, food that gives you energy or maybe helps you focus? An example is tea, because it calms your senses. Lists would be very helpful. Thank you very much :] (P.S. No "organic foods")

• ANSWER:
  Fresh fruit and veggie juices are the best for you and can really help your brain function! I like Vitamin Water too.

  Vitamin B's help to give energy and focus, so keep an eye out for those. Avoid sugar, as it will make you "crash" and so will caffeine! Avoid those!

QUESTION:
What do you guys think of attitude energy drink? Has anyone heard of it?

QUESTION:
what can i take to boost my energy level..that's safe for breastfeeding. besides vitaminB or foods?
I found those 5 hour energy shots and they were amazing and now i'm so bummed to find out i can't even use them, Any ideas on drinks, pills, herbs, maybe organics? HELP!!!!

• ANSWER:
  whatever you eat your baby eats so stay away from all that crap. Just nap when your baby naps and you will find that pretty soon you won't need to nap at all. Just because it's herbal or organic doesn't mean that it is safe for your baby. If you really can't manage without them than switch to formula.

QUESTION:
I am pulling an all nighter to study for an Organic Chemistry test, what is a good way to stay awake?
I have an Organic Chemistry test tommorow at 8:30 AM. It is 1:35 AM my time now. My friend and I are staying up all night to study because the test covers a wide range of information. We have not waited till the last minute, we have actually put in over 30 hours of study time, so no harsh comments please. I have drank a red bull and 5 hour energy drink already. What else can I do to help me stay awake? 10 points to best answer!!!

• ANSWER:
  Water and Chocolate...like choc cookies with water, not milk, the calcium will put you to sleep, the choc has caffeine, and sugar for energy and it is a known fact that Chocolate before a test will increase your recall of info better, plus it can't hurt...it's chocolate! You will awaken , but don't over do. The water keeps you hydrated and sends the chocolate into better absorption.

QUESTION:
Sugar / Caffieine High?
I always try to stay away from sugary drinks and only drink coffee every once in a great while. The other day I couldn't help myself and got a soda before going into my afternoon work shift at the office and was SO productive. I don't want to get into a bad habit of drinking sugary drinks again, but it felt so great and helped me just so much done! Are there any organic drinks or natural energy boosters that can be consumed to get the same effect?

• ANSWER:
  Organic juices preferably the ones you juice yourself, the natural sugars will give you energy to burn. Carbonated drinks block calcium absorption in the body and sugar retains fat in the body like salt retains water and they additives that bring on addiction that make you can't help yourself but to buy their product over and over that make them money.

QUESTION:
How can i lose weight and become healthier while still having energy? (17 yrs old)?
I am a 17 year old male who is 170lbs and 5'7.

My overall problem was that i kept eating a swimmers/water polo player diet even when i quit the sports. So i gained quite a bit of weight.

I believe that with my muscle/fat compositions, the healthy weight would be about 140-150lbs , so i need to lose about 20-25 pounds.

The problem is that school is about to start and i get incredibly tired during the school day which leads me to eat numerous energy bars and drinks in a deliberate attempt to gain energy. I suppose the problem lies in my sleep, i sleep about 3-4 hours during the school year (8 AP classes) But i will try to change that as well.

I eat good, at least mostly, i mean, most of the things i eat at home are organic and healthily cooked but i suppose i eat too much chocolate products.

Anyways, can someone make me a suggestion for dieting/working out , etc, that will lead to weight loss and give me energy at the same time?

Thanks to everyone !

QUESTION:
What can I do to get my long hair thicker, It is falling out and dry?
I have been so stressed, and worried lately about most everything, including my cat getting sick, the toxic food warnings, food shortages, political events, and increase in crime. I have to force myself to eat, I only weigh 106 lbs, I don't have energy, but I take whole foods supplements, that are the best. Can stress cause my hair to get this bad? Do I need biotin? I can't get to sleep early, and when I fall asleep many times after 20 minutes I wake up and it takes a long time to fall back to sleep. I also had some panic attacks this past month. I eat mostly organic food, and drink deionized water. I crave chocolate and sweets, but after I eat them an hour later I feel weak and shaky. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am still a 60's flower child, I won't take any perscriptions, so only natural and organic remedies please.

  -Instead of Urban Outfitters--> American Apparel
  -Instead of cigarettes--> Drug Free (emo boys smoke, indie boys don't)
  -Instead of AP magazine--> Nylon Magazine

  Sweater tests, VINTAGE band tees, bandanas, suede shoes, solid color hair.

QUESTION:
How do vegans get energy?
I have been vegetarian since I was 7 years old and I will never change that. I have tried very hard to be a vegan in the past but I just end up being tired all the time and I end up gaining weight from all the soy products. Vegetables, fruits, and some breads just don't seem to be enough. I went to a nutritionist who planned out a whole vegan diet for me but I just could not do it!! I do feel horrible because I know the cows go through lots of crap!! I only drink organic milk now, and less of it than I did. I don't like eggs by themselves but I have them in food. I eat lots of hummus and kidney beans and a wide variety of fruits and veggies but I have to have some dairy or else I just can't be my best self. If anyone is a Vegan how do you do it? Also its hard because I am only 15 and the whole rest of my family isn't very supportive of my veganism in the past. But they are okay with Vegetarianism
yes I do eat nuts too!! And my weakness is peanut butter.... I eat lots of apples with peanut butter

• ANSWER:
  I get my energy from food. AND I'm exclusively breastfeeding my 8.5-week-old son as well. I eat whole, real foods. I try to avoid anything with white (enriched) flour, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oils, hydrogenated oils artificial colors, artificial flavors and anything that looks as though it was created in a lab by humans and not in nature by God.

  I do eat veggie burgers and the Yves deli "meat" slices because they are convenient. It takes me just a few minutes to take our a few slices of the deli "meat" a couple of slices of bread and squirt some ketchup on them, while my son is somewhat patiently waiting to be fed. (If he's screaming, I wait to eat or grab a box of Kashi or Triscut crackers.)

  We buy the Westsoy plain soymilk and it's only 70 calories a cup. It has less calories than my husband's cow's milk and is comprable in nutrition. I don't eat much tofu lately because it takes time to prepare and with a baby, I don't have time to cut it, press it and stir fry it.

  If you don't really like eggs, then don't eat them. There are several veggies I don't care for, so I don't normally eat them as well. (Unless I'm being a good example for my daughter.)

  Do you eat whole grains? That is also very helpful.

  I also get sleep. Last night, even with getting up with my baby, I probably got eight hours. I truly think that I was awake for about an hour total. (Once his diaper is changed and he's had a little bit of milk, he goes back to sleep.) Sure, some of that sleep was because we both fell asleep in the recliner, but it was still sleep.

QUESTION:
photo essay on a contemporary issue?
I'm in a photojournalism course this semester and we have to do a photo essay on a contemporary issue. Many of the issues I'm most interested in I would not be able to do (abortion, crime, etc.). So I've decided the easiest issue I could do would be nutrition and fitness. I have to focus on subtopics that aren't really related to obesity, however, since someone in my class has already done a photo essay on obesity by taking pictures of people who appeared to her to be obese. I've come up with the following ideas of what i could photograph and was looking for some suggestions.
*People working out
*McDonald's sign (whatever billion served)
*Nutrition labels
*Sports/energy drinks/vitamin water
*Someone cooking
*organic food
*general grocery store photos

Or i could do a different topic - maybe body image?

I need to have at least like 35 pictures by Tuesday night for contact sheets and 9 actually good photos by next Tuesday. If you have any suggestions, that would be really helpful. Thanks!

QUESTION:
what do you of this home work about food energy?
Human needs to eat food to get engrey and essential nutrients. When you have too much engrey and its not being used, it mostly stored as fat in to your fat tissue. Fiber and carbohydrates contain food energy as Fats, Proteins, Organic acids, Polyols and ethanol.
Carbohydrate and protein provide energy that are found in foods, they are also supply vitamin and minerals for your body. As you can see, fat and alcohol supply around twice the kilojoules as the same amount of carbohydrate and protein, but alcohol is very bad for you, it can make you very dehardrated and if you drink too much it can reck your brain cells.
During all the process of absorption that come from the food from all the nutrients, it passes though the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream. The blood works to delivery the nutrients to the rest of the body.Every small amount of food, it has to be broken down into the nutrients that can be absorbed by the body, it might take hours to fully digest the food. The waste of the food, the body can't use are passed out of the body as feces.

Most food contain 3 different mixture of energrgy and Nutrients, Carbohydrates is very important for providing the engrey to all the body cells in your body.The carbohdrates in yout diet should come from food like wholegrain, breeds, cereals, rice, pasta, legumes and vegtables.

Protein is important for the body it helps the creation and the maintenanceof the renewal of the body cells.
Its is important for the growth and Protein helps to repair muscles, bones, hair and fingernails etc.. Protein is also surpports the body to produce anitbodies that helps fight infections, it creats enzymes that help us to digest food and hormoines to keep the body funticationing effectively.

Fat is a Impottant source for the body, it is very high and rich energy, it also supply essential fatty acid for healthy skin , it is important that the fat carries vitamins A, E, D, K and antioxidants, Eating too much fat can increase of diease such as heart disease, diabetes type 2 and Obesity, it can be very harmful.

QUESTION:
Need for better, sugar free sports drinks?
I am looking to produce a sports/refreshing drink which is something I have enjoyed myself as a runner daily. Others are telling me to produce it and sell it. I wanted some feedback before beginning production. Ive always disliked Gatorade and others b/c they are heavy, syrupy and to me taste bad.I formulated a light drink, crisp & refreshing.. since i drink it before i eat breakfast and water can make me nauseous before breakfast. Its made with a touch of natural, organic sweetener (not artificial) allowing for slow release of carbs/energy for the workout without a ton of calories. Its made with real, organic juice, again just a touch for flavor.
If i produced it I might opt to add some trace minerals. Is there a demand for this among other athletes? Should the ingredients be all organic? Or is that less relevant? Thanks for helping my research efforts. Any comments or criticisms are welcome.

Are steaz energy drinks healthy?
i haven't had an energy drink before, but I found that Steaz was vegan, and was supposed to be 'healthy'.
The ingredients are,
"Sparkling Filtered Water, organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Sambazon Organic Acai Juice, Organic Guarana Extract, Natural Berry Flavor, Citric Acid, Guayaki Organic Yerba Mate Extract, Organic Fair Trade Certified Ceylon Green Tea, Sodium Citrate and Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)."
Do you think it's okay, and have you ever tried it before?
Thanks.
Actually, it says on the bottle, "Contains 80mg of natural caffeine."

• ANSWER:
  There's nothing wrong with it as long as you don't have more than 12-16 oz of it a day. Cane juice, if natural, & unrefined, is ok, much better than sugar, which is much better than the equal & sweet n low, & splenda. & the likes. And caffeine is caffeine, natural or synthetic, that too will need to be limited to the amount that you can tolerate. If I were you, I would split a drink in 2 & take it diluted with at least equal amount of water. I have found that that works much better & with much less side effects.

QUESTION:
Weird Combination of Symptoms (Long) -- What do I have?
Hello and thanks in advance for answering my question.

I am a 22 year old male with no history of serious medical illnesses. I'm not overweight and I don't drink sodas or other sugar drinks. I don't have a history of smoking or drinking, I don't drink coffee or energy drinks, and I don't take any medications.

For the past two weeks, I've had some difficulty in swallowing food and I've had a persistent dry throat regardless of how much water I drink. Also, it constantly feels like there is mucus in the back of my throat that I can't seem to swallow.

About two days ago, I ate an apple (which I'm not allergic to) and started to feel some tightness in my breathing. This was the first time I've ever felt this tightness, so I went to Urgent Care in case my breathing became more labored. They did some blood work, x-rays of my lungs, EKG, an examination via stethoscope, and physical exam of the outside of my throat (by feeling along the outside of my neck). None of these revealed anything out of the ordinary. The doctor told me to take some Prilosec OTC and sent me home.

I had an appointment with another doctor the following day, where they found my blood pressure was higher than normal (I believe for the first time in my life). After I told this second doctor about the last two weeks, how I just come back to college and how I would only eat an Acai smoothie (which contains Organic Acai Puree, Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Organic Guarana Extract, Soy Lecithin, Citric Acid) and nothing else for dinner, he said my body may be having a negative reaction to the Guarana. I told him further that I ate this same smoothie in the past with no ill effects, but that now I was eating it almost every night for dinner and eating it without the accompaniment of any other food.

I also told him that I'm not an anxious person or get stressed out, and he said that it suggested that it may be the sudden overload of Guarana in my body that sped me up and was making me anxious. His diagnosis was that because I had both difficulty in breathing and difficulty in swallowing (whereas most people only have one), that my vocal cords were inflamed/swollen. He told me to take Prilosec OTC twice a day for one week and that my symptoms should subside.

Before I visited these doctors, most of my symptoms matched up with GERD, but none of the doctors I visited thought so (the first said he didn't know what was wrong--even when I asked him directly if this was a result of acid reflux, and the second said it was a result of Guarana-induced anxiety). It may help that there is no wheeziness in my breathing, my voice sounds about the same, I almost never feel my food coming back up, and I've never had heartburn.

It may also be of note that whenever I wake up, my breathing feels completely normal. Once I get up and go about my day, the slight tightness starts to set back in.

Ever since my first episode of this slight difficulty breathing, my breathing becomes more labored after I eat. Last night, it took about an hour for this more labored breathing to go away; this morning it took about 10 minutes (perhaps this is because the Prilosec is taking effect?).

My question: Based on my story, what's wrong with my body? Is this indeed a Guarana-induced anxiety that will go away, or is it a sign of something more serious.

Thanks again for taking the time to help me figure out what's wrong.

(Please include your source(s) in giving me your opinion)

• ANSWER:
  Your doctor is probably right. Your BP is probably high because your worried if there's something wrong with you. Tightness in breathing could be triggered by an allergic reaction to something. Maybe the Guarana. Alergies are built up. That could probably explain why you didn't have reactions before.

  GERD is unlikely and this is why:
  "It may also be of note that whenever I wake up, my breathing feels completely normal. Once I get up and go about my day, the slight tightness starts to set back in."

  Acid reflux disorder is triggered after lying down in most cases. Stomach fluids go up the oesophagus and into the airway causing episodes of aspiration. You would probably have more trouble at the beginning of the day, not at the end of the day. Unless you spend your day lying down of course.

  Another probability is asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) The fact that you have shortness of breath after getting up and doing your thing could indicate asthma or COPD. However, it's highly unlikely because you haven't been diagnosed with asthma before. And you're a non smoker.

  A very easy way of testing the Guarana-theory is to stay of it for a couple of weeks, and see if your complaints go away.

QUESTION:
Why am I extremely nauseous after eating?
Lemme give you as much information as I can.
My diet is usually healthy. Very colorful with fruits and vegetables. I eat about 40% organic foods, about 50% natural foods, and 10% conventional.
I just got back from a 2 week vacation that consisted of the same colorful diet, yet more of a 70% natural and 30% conventional - no organic.
This whole week I have been back I have been having trouble eating, for every time I eat I feel nauseous after wards. Because of this, I haven't been eating much at all. My diet as changed back to my regular organic/natural diet.
(I personally think it has no connection to the organic diet, because this didn't happen when I went from 100% conventional to mostly organic in the past, but I wanted to give as much information as possible).
Today, at about 6 o'clock, I tried to do some light weight work outside with my father, because I hadn't done much the whole week, and didn't want to be a vegetable on the couch all week. After about 15 minutes outside, I began feeling extremely light headed and dizzy, and about to pass out. I decided to sit down, and see if it would lighten up a little, and it didn't. In fact, it got worse. The colors were vivid, and sounds were slow. I felt the ultimate nauseousness, the point where you almost vomit, but nothing was out yet. I ended up rushing as fast as I could into the house and into the bathroom. But, throughout it all I still did not vomit.
Now I'm here, trying to figure out what could be going wrong in my body.
I read somewhere that it could be gallbladder failure.
Also, I do not take any medication other than my whole food multivitamin.
I also drink 12 instead of 8 glasses of water daily, and I do not drink coffee, soda, nor energy drinks.

QUESTION:
Are fitness and energy drinks good for you?
My boyfriends 12 year old son has moved in with us. When he lived in Idaho with his mother she gave him fitness and engery drinks. Now he wants to drink them here, he says they wake him up in the morning. He is not active in sports and the only exrcise he gets is riding his bike around the neighborhood. So should I let him have them or are they bad for your body if you really don't need to replace vitiams and minerals from exercising?

• ANSWER:
  The "energy" drinks generally have a large hit of caffeine which is not good for a 12 year old. The "fitness" drinks are mostly sugar with a few vitamins tossed in. Both are largely a waste of money. The vitamins, minerals etc are obtained from food and supplements are seldom needed unless you have a malabsorption disease likel celiac.

  Treat the drinks like pop (actually a diet Coke would be way cheaper with less caffeine and sugar), limiting consumption to once a week or less as a special treat.

  At 12 he should be having a good balanced breakfast with milk, toast or cereal, some protein and fruit. He needs 3-4 servings of milk a day, not sugary, caffeine laced water.

QUESTION:
Supplements and drinks for fitness and weight lifting?
Are there any really good suupplements or drinks that are good to maintain my weight when I work out about 3 days a week? What can anyone tell me about the supplemental drink Myoplex (may not be spelled correctly)?

• ANSWER:
  I agree with the other answerer. Don't purchase anabolic steroids or other questionable supplements. Whey protein is the best way to go. Eat lots of fatty meat too.

  Myoplex is a meal replacement supplement so its probably not the best thing for a person looking to gain muscle mass.

  Sorry, at 25, she is done growing taller. She can get into Palates, to 'stretch' her muscles out, she can go see a doctor, and get some growth hormones, but those are only to help revitalize, rejuvenate ones cells, for a younger appearance, she is too young for that too..

QUESTION:
How do England expect to keep up their Fitness levels if they are drinking Champagne?
Can anyone answer me this question: Do other World Cup Football teams drink like the English Football team does (as it alledgeley reported to do). And how can they expect to keep up their fitness levels and last the pace.

• ANSWER:
  well they can't keep there fitness up-the body uses the same enzymes to break down and excrete alcohol as it does to break down lactic acid. when there is alcohol and lactic acid in the body the alcohol is the priority for the enzyme so the lactic acid will remain in the system not to mention it is a diaretic(increases fluid loss so rehydration will take longer affecting muscle recovery greatly). All that said if they only have a glass or two it shouldn't have enough of an effect to hinder their recover but it definitely doesn't help.

QUESTION:
Sweet Drinks to Drink When on a Sugar Free Diet for fitness?
As part of a fitness program I am avoiding eating anything with sugar and preservatives and I've been craving sweets for hours, its my 2nd day.

I know I can eat fruit, but I want something to drink, I ain't sure if juice is the right option as they can be as bad as fizzy drinks with sugar. I don't fancy making my own as I don't have the require equipment at home.

Any suggestions?

Also caffeine alternatives for energy? I use to suck on Monster in the mornings or a coffee or 2, but can't now

• ANSWER:
  What I use when I work out is XS Energy Drinks. They are sugar free; and there is 14 different varieties to choose from. One has always been enough for me to get through a work out; and to get me through the rest of my day. These things contain high amounts of vitamin B12; so it gives you all of the energy; without the crash!!!
  Another thing that I have used; and know a lot of people who use is the tropical sports twist tubes. It is this tube of liquid with vitamins that you squirt into water for flavored vitamin water!!!
  Hope some of this helps.

QUESTION:
Should there be Michigan Sales Tax on prepackaged drinks at a fitness center?
Ex: my customer said Meijers sells a drink called Muscle Milk and he isn't charged tax, but I also sell the same Muscle Milk drink but I was told to charge tax on the drink since the customer is drinking it here. I sell the drink for .00 and I keep .77 and report .23 cents for sales tax.
RIGHT OR WRONG?
Thanks!
Thank you Stephen W.

So half of my customers will drink their drinks in the gym, even though I don't have a sitting area and I don't have tables and chairs and have of my customers leave with their drinks after their workout. So does that still apply to tax them on prepackaged drinks? Thanks so much
So does a restaurant charge tax on prepackaged drinks say like a prepackaged orange juice or like a hockey rink sells slushlies but then they also sell drinks prepackaged, what do they do?

• ANSWER:
  Michigan imposes a sales tax on food for immediate consumption. That is why there is sales tax when you go to a restaurant. Restaurants will charge sales tax regardless of whether you sit down to eat or if you carry out or order delivery.

  Grocery stores do not charge sales tax on (most) food, since it's not served for immediate consumption.

  Certain dietary supplements are not considered "food" and are taxed. It is entirely possible that Meijer is doing it wrong and you are doing it right. Believe me, grocery stores get audited ALL the time and do a lot of stuff wrong. If you offer the drinks to your customers and keep it cooled in a fridge, sell out of a vending machine, or allow customers to consume immediately on the premesis, you should charge tax.

QUESTION:
what properties do drinks like lucozade have to help your fitness ?

• ANSWER:
  ALL FIZZY DRINKS !!!!!
  Have you ever wondered why Coke comes with a smile? It’s because it gets you high. They took the cocaine out almost a hundred years ago. You know why? It was redundant.

  * In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor allowing you to keep it down.
  * 20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into fat. (There’s plenty of that at this particular moment)
  * 40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream
  . The adenosine receptors in your brain
  are now blocked preventing drowsiness.
  * 45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.
  * >60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium
  , magnesium and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism. This is compounded by high doses of sugar and artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.
  * >60 Minutes: The caffeine’s diuretic properties come into play. (It makes you have to pee.) It is now assured that you’ll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolyte and water.
  * >60 minutes: As the rave inside of you dies down you’ll start to have a sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. You’ve also now, literally, pissed away all the water that was in the Coke. But not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have used for things like even having the ability to hydrate your system or build strong bones and teeth.

  This will all be followed by a caffeine crash in the next few hours. (As little as two if you’re a smoker.) But, hey, have another Coke, it’ll make you feel better.

  [tags] coke, effects, pharmacology, soda, caffeine, sugar [/tags]

  *FYI: The Coke itself is not the enemy, here. It’s the dynamic combo of massive sugar doses combined with caffeine and phosphoric acid. Things which are found in almost all soda.

QUESTION:
Is fitness vitamin water safe to drink during pregnancy?
I've heard that overloading on vitamins can be bad for you. I'm already taking a prenatal vitamin with a DHA supplement as well. I love the flavored fitness water like Propel with Calcium, but is this extra dose of vitamins good or bad for my baby?

• ANSWER:
  I just talked to my OB a couple of days ago concerning what I can or cannot drink (I'm 20 weeks). I never mentioned Propel specifically, but she said everything is pretty safe in moderation (except the obvious: drugs, alcohol, etc.). Your body will only absorb as much calcium as it needs in a serving (500 mg); anything over 500 is excreted. But, you do need to be careful with the vitamins that your body hangs on to (fat soluable versus water soluable), because this can cause a problem. Just run it by your doc...you should be fine!

QUESTION:
Does diet effect your actual physical fitness level?
Just a hypothetical, you have lets say a 25 year old man who has a fast metabolism because of his age so weight is not an issue. If he goes to the gym and does a full fitness routine consistently but eats the average american diet, fried foods, processed foods, and drinks alcohol and soda multiple times per week. Would his fitness level be effected like his resting heart rate, ability to make strength gains, and recovery time? And if it does how and why?

• ANSWER:
  Your diet definitely effects your overall fitness level. That hypothetical guy would be lacking those important nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that your body needs to stay healthy. Although, he most likely will not gain too much fat because of his metabolism.

  His triglycerides would be extremely high because of all the fatty foods he is eating. This would effect his liver, arteries, and heart. Atherosclerosis or the plaque stuff in your arteries would form from the high fat diet. This will force your heart to work harder which would obviously increase your heart rate.

  It would also effect your ability to increase your muscle mass and will make your recovery time become slower. One of the liver's most complex functions is its ability to build proteins. With a damaged liver you will not be able to create enough protein. Protein is what repairs your muscles after you workout. So if you workout daily, your muscles will still be damaged from the day before.

  Ha ha I have never got the chance to use this information before so thanks for that. By the way I learned a lot of this in Anatomy and Physiology. Hope I helped and good luck!!

QUESTION:
Is drinking flavored waters such as propel fitness water a good substitute for regular water?
I am trying to drink more water daily and cut back on sodas and coffee. But plain old water is boring. I still make myself drink it. But I really like the propel waters or the flavored waters like, Aquafina's lemon. Or what about no sodium carbonated water like LaCroix?

• ANSWER:
  Its totally fine. It's a myth that even coffee dehydrates us. In reality, we get more liquid from the coffee than we loose by taking in the caffiene. Even alcohol can go towards out daily intake of liquid. It is liquid that is important, it doesn't just have to be water. The popular guidline of drinking 2 litres of water a day was created around the mid 1960s and the scientists who developed this guidline also included the moisture found in food, which with an average diet, means you only need to drink and extra half litre in drinks, this information was passed onto the general public with mistakes, leading the public to believe (and still believe) that we need to drink 2 litres a day. Studies in identical twins have shown that drinking an extra 2 litres or half litre show absolutely no difference in the quality of health and fitness. The best guidline is to listen to your body, if you feel thirsty, drink. If you drink too much you will begin to wash the potassium out of your bloodstream which can eventually lead to heart murmurs in later life, so if you do a lot of exercise and have to drink a lot, eat a banana or some other potassium rich food. The only liquid that can not count towards your daily intake of liquid is sea water, and I don't think you'll be drinking too much of that anyway.

QUESTION:
Why do girls around the age of 17 become obsessed about fitness?
Such as dieting (eating no proteins or drinking any milk), and intense fitness training. My good friend is doing this and she's lost 6lbs in one week, with a total weight loss of 15lbs now. She only weighs 114lbs now and she's 5'6". Is it because of insecurities? or because grad is coming up? What can I say to get her to gain weight??? GIRLS OPINIONS would be greatly appreciated.

• ANSWER:
  I say it is easy to tell someone, however, it really depends if they are receptive to you telling them what to do. I don't remember obsessing at 17 but I can say we all have insecurities and at time everyone wants to look their best. Just remind her that healthy weight is with habits and you think she is beautiful when she is happy.

And what is better, drink it before i eat or drink it after i eat?

• ANSWER:
  I don't see why not, as long as you're eating healthy meals along with them. I would maybe take the 2 Ensures between meals, say one between breakfast and lunch, and the other between lunch and supper.
  My roommate did this when she was trying to gain weight.

QUESTION:
Supplement drinks to make workouts more effective?
I just had a baby 5 months ago and i just recently started working out again. I have been doing strength training and cardio. (weights because i didnt work out when i was pregnant and i am now really weak and my stomach muscles are extremely weak) and cardio (for fitness and weightloss! I gained about 50 lbs from the baby) I want to really get the max effect from my workouts. What sort of supplemental drinks from like GNC can i take to maximize my workout results? (burn more fat)

• ANSWER:
  I take when I really want to train a carb drink like carbo force before workout, then a protein drink immediately after. I usually had my carb drink during warm ups on a stationary bike, then hit the weights and a myoplex or some kind of protein when I finished.
  Also what worked for me with abs, was that I did them all workout. Like between exercises, even between sets at times to keep my heart rate up, because I hated to try to do them all at once at the end of a workout. I would get in more work that way, and my abs became stronger faster.
  Hope this helps.

QUESTION:
What are the best ways to motivate an obese person to a lifestyle of fitness and healthy eating?
We all heard of the saying, "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink it." I believe there is a way to motivate the horse to drink. In this case, its a lifetyle of fitness and healthy eating which is conducive to a more healthy longer life. Therefore, I am looking for serious answers. Thanks.

• ANSWER:
  An obese person feels the urge to eat often because he/she feels as though it brings a moment of happiness. Sure being fat isn't but a slice of cheesecake or a cookie certainly does. In order to motivate a person to eat healthier and choose a more activate lifestyle, you have to make it rewarding for that person to do so. This is not a quick diet and workout but a lifetime commitment and change of style.
  One of the biggest factor you have to remember is that the obese person has been programmed to turn to food for many underlining issues. Some may be "I get a cookie/sweet when I am good." "When I am bored and there's nothing to do, I eat." "I feel so empty inside, so unhappy, I might as well eat this cookie to make me happy." You have to get ride of these old programming before the obese person has any chance of losing weight permanently.
  Then you have to reprogram the person to enjoy food in a nutritional way and attach happiness to exercise and having fun. If the workout is no fun, why would a person want to coninue doing it? Maybe try tennis, skating, swimming or something fun.
  And remember that it takes 30 days to make a habit of something. Good Luck.

QUESTION:
How much is the effect of alcohol on my fitness level?
I am an athlete and I play pro basketball at my local club. I also am an occasional jogger and love to play other sports as well. But occasionally I go out on weekends and consume alot of alcohol. Im talking about beer, rum, tequila, vodka, and many other kinds! I dont get to the state of getting drunk, because I usually stop when I feel like Im getting there. I know that alcohol cant be good in any form, but I just would like to know what kind of damage are we talking about here? I have an almost perfect fitness level according to recent tests, but I wasnt consuming much alcohol then as well.

Now Im planning to take a vacation and I KNOW that ill be drinking alot, therfore I would like to know what are the given consequences if any with regards to my fitness level.

Thanks for the input.

• ANSWER:
  Drinking affects fitness in the following ways:

  It interferes with cardio-respiratory fitness; heart and lungs work less efficiently
  It directly damages muscle groups
  It can lead to increased weight
  It increases the risk of accidents and injuries
  It damages the immune system, making you more susceptible to infection
  It increases the time needed to recover from injuries and illnesses
  It causes dehydration, making exercise dangerous and unpleasant
  Exercising when you still have alcohol in you can cause a heart attack, kidney failure, cramping, even convulsions.

  but most things, done in moderation, are OK.

  Enjoy your vacation and bring me something back!

I am working in a call center. I am in a night shift. I also drink slimming coffee and diet pills but none seems to be working. .

QUESTION:
Is Propel fitness water safe to drink while having gestational diabetes?

• ANSWER:
  The vitamin levels in propel, if I recall, are not very high at all and with most vitamins, you can safely consume more than 3000% of the RDA without significant risk, and drinks will likely only have around 10% or less of the RDA. Vitamin toxicity is very unlikely.

  Since propel is low carb and tastes a lot! better than plain old water, there's no reason for you not to drink it.

QUESTION:
What is a good alcohol recipe to use Propel fitness water with?
I read on yahoo answers somewhere that somebody drinks Propel with vodka (I thinknot sure). What types of drinks do yuo make?

QUESTION:
fitness program needed How can i burn fat?
Im 29 years old, 6ft 240 Lbs. Over the past 5 years I have let myself get out of shape in a bad way. Im looking for a fitness program that i can do with the free equipment at my apartment complex, eg excercise bikes, treadmill, and a few weight machines. I have cut sugar out of my diet as much as i can, stopped drinking soda. I don't eat much to begin with so overeating is not a problem. Any advice is appreciated.

• ANSWER:
  Don't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into "starvation mode" and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it will make you feel awful.

  The most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode.

  Another overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.

  To lose a pound of fat, you need to eliminate about 3500 calories. You can do this by burning more with exercise or by modifying your diet to reduce intake. If you do a Google search on say, "swimming calories" you will quickly find a website with tables of calories burned for a given exercise. You can use such lists to estimate how many calories you are burning up with your routine.

  For diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet.

  Fat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn't overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.

  If you are trying to build muscle as a way to lose fat, then you may need to increase total calories and specifically your protein intake. I target about 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight each day when actively building. That is far more protein than most people need in their diets.

QUESTION:
How can I do a "makeover" to my health habits and lifestyle? (Nutrition, fitness specialists help appreciated)
What I mean, I do feel a little guilty about my bad dietary habits and some other things I'll mention. If you have any good suggestions and a good background about nutrition, fitness, and/or pyschology, please give me advice: (I'm a 22-year old male)

-My diet: I'm 6ft 1 tall, 78 kgs. Although my weight seems good to my height, but I'm guilty of eating a lot of fast food, chocolate, and soda drinks. I want to know what amounts & types of food should I concentrate on eating? Especially that I want to start working out, and gain abs. (Please notice that I avoid all alcoholic drinks and pork). And is it necessary to completely stop chocolate consumption? (I love this thing!)

-My fitness: I bought a home gym machine that has the following:
-Biceps and triceps exercises, legs , shoulder, chest and back. How often and long sholud I work out? And what is the best exercise for my stomach & gluteal region?

-My sleeping habits: I tend to sleep very late and wake up very late (I sleep at 7 am and wake up at 2-3 pm), which really affected my college life. Although I don’t drink large amounts of caffeine. I used to sleep at 1-2 am, but now I can’t, I think I ruined my biological clock. What things can I do to sleep at a reasonable time, and enjoy a good, deep sleep?
P.S: This started only lately, although I have nothing “psychological” that could cause it.

My mentality: How can I increase the power and pace of my memory? Especially the short-term one?

• ANSWER:
  Go Vegan. You'll never look back.
  Cut out all animal products and sugar.
  Get into Fruits and vegetables.
  Anybody can do it.
  I was a total meat eater 21 years ago. My Father owned a steak shop in Philly, Pa. I eat more cheese steaks than you could shake a stick at.
  I knew my health was going down the toilet.
  I took a course in Health and Nutrition, but it wasn't your typical nutrition course, it was all vegetarian.
  Get yourself some books and get into it.
  That's the only body you'll ever have, be good to it.
  Hope I helped.
  Good Luck.

QUESTION:
What are the benefits of drinking Green Tea in terms of fitness?

• ANSWER:
  Green tea has thermogenic properties (a thermogenic increases the metabolism of the body’s fat), and promotes fat oxidation beyond that explained by its caffeine content. In a recent study of 60 obese subjects, it was concluded that green tea could reduce body weight by increasing energy expenditure and fat oxidation. In another study involving obese subjects, it was found that continuous ingestion of a green tea extract led to a reduction in body fat and LDL cholesterol. The three ingredients in green tea that promote fat loss are catechins, caffeine and theanine that work by inhibiting the enzymes that digest triglycerides, which play an important role in metabolism as energy sources and transporters of dietary fat.
