Home Remedies For Gaining Weight.com

Bill is on a 600 calorie diet. I feel that is too low for a man and could cause him to yoyo and gain more on less food in the future as the body things you are starving and resets your set point therapy level.

He usually does not do so low in calories but I think a relative (call him Sam) he is living with is influencing him.

Sam had gotten my relative, Bill, to do the Adkins diet which I feel is very dangerous even more so after reading the book eat to live by Dr Furhman who discussed Adkins and other diets. I think no Bill hadss stopped doing the Adkins after talking to him several times about the dangers.

Now sam has changed from Adkins to being on a 100 calorie diet for I think at least 3-4 weeks now. Bill just told me that Sam, since he is eating so little (100 calories), all his appetite has left. Although the relative I am close to Bill and concerned about and who might listen to me (Sam is too headstrong to listen to anyone) is eating 600 not 100 calories, isn’t this still too low?

I thought a man should eat maybe somewhere between 1200-1600 if dieting. He is about 5 foot 9 and not sure how much he weighs.

Is this foolish or not, will it cause yoyo or reset his previous set point and what can I say to convince Bill to diet in a more sensible manner.

It seems all my mom did when he was alive is tell Bill how fat he was (and I do not think he is THAT bad personally but then I am not obsessed with weight like some people.
Bill came to spread some dirt for me in my yard tonight and after 2 minutes said he was exhausted and he seemed a little woozy or weak.

I asked why are you so tired, He said my blood pressure and eating so little. this is what got me concerned when I found out he was weak and only eating 600 calories. I do not understand these other relatives…who nag and who do foolish things..I wish Bill would not listen to them so much. It seems he is always on a diet, yet with all his great will power why can’t I get him to eat healthier. It is like talking to a brick wall sometimes..

We are close enough that he will not think I am sticking my nose into his business.

any input would be appreciated.
in comment to waken and flashflood. I was just reading the book eat to live by Dr fuhrman and it speaks of the many dangers of the adkins or high protein diet as well as the china Study which is the largest study ever done on the link between diet and health which found that populations that ate 10% or less animals foods had way lower rates of cancer, diabetes, heart disease and a host of other diseases,

The dangers of adkins or any high protein diet that creates ketones/ketogenic diet are many. In kid’s given this to treat epilepsy, it gas had dangers that include hemolytic anemia, abnormal liver function, renal tubular acidosis and spontaneous bone fractures (despite calcium supplements and kidney stones (pg 98 eat to live).more to come I am suffering from sciatic and intense nerve pain to my foot and cannot sit more than a few minutes at a time so will finish later Other than 2 visits to my chiropractor I have been bedridden & unable to leave my bed for 4 days due to severe pain

re- again Adkins–hundreds of studies link animal products with various cancers. this meat based, low fiber diet includes no fruit, starchy veggies and no whole grains,. Could double your chance of cancer etc Reseachers found risk of lung cancer 6 times more in women in the highest 5th of saturated fat consumption compared to women in the lowest 5th.,But not just the saturated fat but low in anti cancer foods and phytochemicals . more sat fats and less fruit+ higher cancer risk less saturated fat and more fruits =less cancer risk

more later in too much pain now
