• Your BMI is 35.6A normal BMI is between 18-25.Anything over 30 is considered obese.So, according to your BMI, you're obese, not just fat.Edit- It's BMI that matters more- Body Mass Index. You may not LOOK obese, but because of your height and weight ratio and your BMI number, you are considered obese. We're not being mean- you just asked a question and we're giving you an answer. If you didn't want your feelings hurt, don't ask the question! And you said in the title "HONEST ANSWERS".
• If you're 5ft 8 and 234 lbs you're fat. Extremely fat, 100% obese to be honest. You aren't large because you think you have a large frame, you have a large frame because you're fat. For reference, a 234 lb male at that height is either fat or on steroids because that's huge.
• You know what? do not please society, if you feel good about yourself then AWESOME. If you prefer to watch tv all day and eat rice and cakes PERFECT. That's YOU. Yes, eating vegetables, fruit, protein, doing exercise is the reason why you have legs, arms, a body. But do what you want to do; it's your life and it's up to you to chose how to live it. If you think you should lose weight, then lose it. If you want to gain weight then gain weight. But at the end of the day, your health is important; do whatever you want to do, but having a low body fat percentage (BF%) is better than having a high % . It feels great to be able to run and not get tired at the first 30 seconds. But everyone chooses to live different.
• Your BMI is 35.6Sorry to break the news but you are obese.

Does a cat have to be fed once a day or get his meal twice a day?

I just got into an argument about this because I choose to feed my cat his meal amount once a day, I know I'm not wrong, and I as I have seen it is okay to give them their meal at once, and I don't think a cat really needs it split into two meals. Only when I give wet food I split it up so it won't dry out and he can eat the rest later. Am I wrong?, because I think people take care of their animals differently, I know some dogs get two meals a day, and others get one big meal, I've been around different owners, and whatever suits them i feel is alright. I basically have to get into arguments about this because my cat wines for food 24/7, even when he just ate and family members who don't own cats feel bad because he wines, I try to explain that that's all cats ever want is food and it doesn't mean they are starving their butts off because if I keep his bowl filled all day he easily gains weight. Do you Agree or disagree with me? How do you choose to feed your pet?

I feed the same amount of canned every day, usually split into 2 meals. They also get a quarter cup of dry but it goes into the puzzle ball dispenser so they have to work at it.Nothing wrong with once a day, as long as he's getting enough to eat. I like mine to have the second meal right at bedtime so they don't wake me up too early in the morning.

Other Answers:

• I fed my cat Cynthia- ONCE a Day, Every Day, for all 15 years of Her life. And She was never Overweight, and never MISSED a meal- once. ;)
• I have a cat and a dog and they have dry food (crunchies) available to them throughout the day and I feed my cat crunchies whenever she asks for them however only feed them wet food once a day at night for dinner.
• The important bit is not to let your cat get overweight - particularly tom cats which can suffer from urinary problems if they get too fat. Having said that it is also not good for them to be too skinny although old cats can be very slim and still be healthy just like old people. I have always fed my cats twice a day but with no goodies between meals and they have remained healthy with long lives.
• There's no particular way you have to feed your cat as long as he seems satisfied and isn't hungry again soon after he finishes eating. I feed my cats twice a day but smaller portions. I feed them breakfast and then dinner. They seem to like it that way more than they did when I fed them only in the evening.

Will I gain weight drinking an ensure a day?

I'm pretty healthy but I don't want to gain weight, I just found this drink called ensure and it tastes so good! But I heard it's used to gain weight faster, or when you can't eat. I just drink one a day, as a side with my breakfast. Will I gain wright? If so how much? I eat just a regular everyday pedestrian diet...

How to Lose Weight by Swimming

Recommended Answer:

Ensure is a "meal replacement" and there are no good meal replacements. You can't replace a meal with a bunch of chemicals. And, because you only want to drink it for pleasure, you would be better off not drinking it. Your desire to eat/drink something for no reason other than pleasure will eventually make you fat unless you get smart about eating, learn how to properly nourish your body, and then do it first while concerning yourself about pleasure last. Just so you know, Ensure a supplement and all US federal health agencies warn against using supplements without the recommendation of a health care professional because supplements are not approved by the FDA, are virtually unregulated, do not have the protections afforded foods and drugs, are not recommended by the US National Institute of Health, do not require any testing, are often contaminated, may not even be what the label says, usually contain cheap ingredients, are often over priced scams, have been known to be dangerous, and can have numerous adverse or unwanted side effects. If you just have to have a good tasting drink for breakfast, drink chocolate milk. At least you'll be drinking a natural whole food, not a supplement, and avoiding all the junk they put in Ensure that you don't need.There's no way to answer your question because you did not provide enough information about your daily energy intake and ouput.Good luck and good health!!♠

How can I stick to my diet?

So I''m trying to loose about 20-25 lbs, and I''m starting nutrisystem. I have gone on other diets, but with little success. What is a way I can stick to my diet this time?

Help Me Lose Weight by Burning Fat in the Gym

Recommended Answer:
I am on a weight loss journey too. I take a Thermo-Lean supplement an hour before meals. I don''t eat as much. Also I drink lots of water! I was thinking of Nutrisystem . I hear its expensive.
Hope you achieve your goal

• Follow it. Think about the money you are spending to be on nutra system - and how it will be wasted if you dont follow it.
• Many people go on diets and they are able to lose weight but they are unable to keep the weight off.
  That''s because no one can can eat like that for the rest of their life. So when they get off the diet, they gain the weight back. Instead you have to lose weight without giving up your favorite foods and suffering and starving yourself.
  
  I know what you are going through. I been through the same cycle many times. It''s not only important that you eat healthy but also the timing of your meals. It''s not just about eating less and exercising more. It''s about controlling your blood sugar and insulin levels with your diet and exercise.
  When you eat your blood sugar goes up an your body responds by secreting insulin to lower your blood sugar and help the sugar go into the various cells that need it. All the excess blood sugar gets stored in the fat cells.
  When our cells need energy and there is no more sugar in our blood, then our body turns to our fat cells for energy.
  Here''s where it gets tough. Our bodies are unable to access the energy to burn the fat if we still have a high insulin level.
  ***In order to burn fat, you must make sure that your insulin levels are low. What this to see how it works and how you can have better control of your fat burning.

Lose Weight With Herbal Products

Recommended Answer:
If you are looking to gain weight, the first step is to get your diet done right first. This means eating a high calorie diet from complex carbohydrates in natural food. Also, you will need to sleep well and do the right workout to create weight that will stay on your frame for a long time rather than keep feeding so much calories daily to ensure that you do not lose weight. Diet is the first place to this 2 pronged attack so let start there.

a high calorie diet needs to consists of at least 55-60% carbohydrates. As a rule of thumb, let your plate decide how much food you are taking. 60% is slightly more than half so aim for that same amount on your plate be it in the form of potatoes, pasta, noodles, biscuits, bread or rice. Eating 6 hearty meals of this will help you to gain the weight you need faster compared to simply eating3 meals. Lastly, if you need help on how to get the habit to eat 6 times a day or find it difficult to make 6 meals a day, I suggest you look into drinking 500ml of milk in between your meal 3 times a day for the extra meals you need. Increase the amount by 100ml until you see the 1 pound weight gain on the scale. Only then should you focus on getting your sleep and workout right while maintaining the same calorie that helped you to gain 1 pound this week.

Next, sleep is the 2nd step to proper gains. This is usually the deciding factor that separates the committed to the interested. Most people can train hard and eat well but when it comes to making a 8 or more hours slot to get their sleep, that usually does not happen. It is not only about the number of hours of sleep only, but also how sound do you sleep. If possible, try sleeping and waking up all by yourself everyday so that you have absolutely no distractions that jerk you out of your bed. This means that your body will be fully recharged, fully repaired and growing to help you gain the weight and you need.

The last thing that most skinny people get wrong is also workout. Most people who come across friends who asked them for advice if they are looking to gain weight often said that not doing anything will help you to gain the weight you need. It maybe true for people with a slow metabolism rate but it is totally untrue for us. This is because when you cease to be active, your body will break down the muscles in your body as well as the fat in order to lighten its load. The fact is that what you do not use your body destroy. Also, if you are simply focusing on eating and sleep to help you to gain weight, it is highly unlikely because a poor day of diet or sleep will cause your body to break down the excess calories you have been trying so hard to put on, causing you to lose even more weight than you put on. I suggest looking to http://gohforth.com for a workout that will help to be the trigger to help you to gain weight.

Why Losing Weight Fast is Bad!

Recommended Answer:
If your trying to lose weight then you want to be dong cardio training like working on a treadmill rowing machine or spin bike. Protein is used for filling in the rips in the muscle from lifting weights this will put on weight but muscle not fat. if you are trying to lose fat do a cardiovascular workout and if your trying to gain muscle that's when you want protein. Don't overload on protein each scoop is equivalent to one chicken breast of protein and one scoop should be for one hour of muscular strength exersizes otherwise it will be stored as fat.

• Just, exercise daily, and eat less carbs.
• Protein shakes would make you heavier if anything
