Here are a few things I'd like to know more about
1. Portion Sizes - I keep hearing the stomach is the size of a fist and that because of that meals should be that size too, what are ideal portion sizes for different foods i.e protein carbs etc
2. Water - drink 8 glasses of water a day is what is commonly said but we never hear anything about the size of the the glasses, big? small? I read somewhere that taking anything more than 2 litres of water a day is dangerous is that true? Does the amount of water to drink depend on your weight? Whats the ideal amout of water to drink?
3. Weight loss - there are so many fad diets around, what would you recommend as the healthiest way for someone to lose weight
4. Excess skin - As I'm losing weight I'm beginning to notice quite a bit of excess skin in my stomach area, is there any way, apart from surgery to get rid of it
Is this what you have in mind? I have loads more,

@kabiru - Unless you were overeating before, it is not necessary to reduce your meals to lose weight. your body needs consistent and regular nutrition to function, and even to lose weight properly. To put it simply,your calorific expenditure needs to exceed your calorific intake for you to lose weight; but this is not the whole story.
I would advise you to eat 3 regular sized meals a day (NOT Naija portions). If eating any "swallow" food, keep the portions small, as these made quite compact in the preparation process. Cut out or reduce sharply unnecessary fat/oils/salt in your meals. Eat more "white" meat - Fish, Chicken. Red meat, especially Beef, is very bad (contains lots of saturated fats). Drastically increase your intake of fruits and vegetables. try to eat as much raw(and clean) as possible.
You dont need to jog, but if walking, u must walk very briskly - till u are unable to hold a conversation conveniently. The key to getting the maximum benefit from exercise is consistency. Formulate a regular exercise regimen, for a minimum of 40mins - 1hr each time, and 3 days a week. Regarding the resistance exercises - sit ups, press-ups - Pick a daily number you are comfortable with, but still pushes you. Stick with it and make sure you do it consistently, then attempt to increase it gradually. Best of luck.

How can I lose weight without changing my diet and not exercising at all. @Outstrip - There are many ways to do this, but none of them are healthy or even sustainable. |

Hi there, I was wondering if you may be able to help me. I have a female friend there in Victoria Island. She is looking for iron supplements to help her with anemia and doesn't know where she can find them. Can you possibly give me some advice as to where she could find some close to where she is? Is there a pharmacy or health food store there where she could go and buy some and if so, are they very expensive there? Or if that is not an option, can you give any advice as to how she could boost her iron intake?
I appreciate any help you can give me on this, thanks very much!

I am not a nutritionist but when I was anaemic my mom always said UGU leaves(pumpkin leaves) would help. I think unripe plantains and spinach too
