FAT-LOSS BODY LEANNESS PROGRAM

Q. I often get headaches when I eat only 1000 calories a

day. What should I do?

A. Your headaches may be caused by going longer than

three hours between meals or snacks. Try spacing your

meals and snacks where there are fewer hours between

them.

Some people who are used to drinking regular coffee

with caffeine notice headaches when they stop

consuming coffee for several days. If this is the case

with you, you might want to ease off the coffee more

gradually.

Q. I don’t like red meat. I notice that the Lean Cuisine

Lasagna with Meat Sauce contains beef. What can I

substitute for it?

A. Lean Cuisine

has many other frozen dinners that you

may substitute for Lasagna with Meat Sauce. Try to find

one that contains the same calories, with approximately

15 to 20 percent of the calories coming from fat. Some

of the Lean Cuisine

dinners actually have too little fat

for my nutritional requirements.

Q. May I have dinner for lunch and lunch

for dinner?

A. Yes.

Q. I tend to get a headache when I drink cold water. Can I

drink water without it being chilled?

A. Yes, but you won’t get the 123 calories or more

thermogenic effect from warming the cold water to core

body temperature. Try a more gradual drinking of the

cold water. You may have been consuming it too quickly.

Q. Is it possible to drink too much water?

A. Certainly. To do so, however, you’d probably have

to drink four or five times as much per day as I’m

recommending. There are a few ailments that can be

negatively affected by large amounts of fluid. If you feel

you have a problem, check with your doctor before

starting the program.

Q. Is bottled water better than tap water?

A. Research shows that bottled water is not always higher

quality water than tap water. The decision to drink bottled

water or not is usually one of taste. If you dislike the

taste of your tap water, then drink your favorite bottled

water. But first you might want to try a twist of lemon or

lime added to the water from your tap. Some people say

it makes a significant difference in the taste.

Q. I’m a middle-aged woman who gets black and blue marks

on my legs when I diet. Am I doing anything wrong?

A. I doubt you are doing anything wrong. Such black and

blue marks are usually the result of an increased level

of estrogen circulating in your body, which weakens

the walls of the capillaries and causes them to break

under the slightest pressure. When this happens, blood

escapes and a bruise occurs. Estrogen is broken down

in the liver, and so is fat. When you are dieting, your

liver breaks down the fat, leaving a lot more estrogen in

the bloodstream.

It may be helpful to supplement your diet with a little

extra vitamin C each day to help toughen the walls of

the capillaries.
