My Chinese mantises are 9 days old. When can I expect the first molt?

My ooth of Chinese mantids hatched on July 9th (they're 9 days old). I've release all but 3 of them. When can I expect the first molt? Also, it is okay that they are on a diet only consisting of flightless fruit flies? I don't want them to be malnourished. It's somewhat difficult to find clear answers on Google...They're pretty small and I am having trouble finding anything in the wild that seems appropriately sized for feeding.

Recommended Answer:

A mantis will stop eating a day or 2 (sometimes more) prior to its molt. Do not be alarmed if one day your mantis is chowing down on a cricket and the next it refuses its food, it's simply getting ready to shed its skin. Mantids molt every 2-3 weeks as babies and the time in between each molt increases as they get older so their last molt into adulthood can sometimes take as long as 3-4 weeks. It takes about 7 molts for females and about 6 for males. That's why males tend to mature earlier than females and they also die faster. During molts, it is vital that you do not disturb them. The mantis will hang upside down from a branch or the screen lid and will sometimes shake or spasm violently. Then after a while, it worms out of its old skin and will hang out to dry. Once it's dried, it will resume eating and being its normal self after a couple days. To ensure their safety, mist them every day while young nymphs to prevent any blockade during molting.The Chinese Mantis should be kept in a terrarium roughly 3x its body size. The Chinese Mantis is an aggressive carnivore that will tackle and eat large insects. The Chinese Mantis' diet consists primarily of cockroaches, moths, butterflies, grasshoppers, crickets and spiders. At the first instar, Chinese Mantids will eat Drosophila melanogaster and similar small flies. As they grow larger, Mantids will accept House Flies, Blue Bottle Flies and small roaches.Mantids drink dew from leaves, so a gentle misting every other day is required. In the terrarium, Mantids require sticks and other foliage for climbing and molting. Mantids will thrive in temperatures ranging from 20 to 38°C. Sudden temperature changes may be fatal.

Why Am I Not Losing Weight? Discover The Top Mistakes People Mostly Make With Weight Loss

Recommended Answer:
During pregnancy your estrogen, progesterone and prolactin were high. Then when you breastfeed the progesterone drops off. Then finally the prolactin drops off and all you have is estrogen. You''re probably estrogen dominant. Try some progesterone cream. Find one with good reviews. There are people who grow very rapidly from it and you''re probably a prime candidate.

Besides that fenugreek is the best substance in general and unlike other herbs there isn''t much of an upper limit: if you consume a lot you''ll get much better and faster results too. Rather than taking a small fenugreek pill, buy a bunch of fenugreek seeds by the pound, soak them overnight in water to soften, rinse off and eat. Start with a spoonful but as long as it isn''t giving you any trouble you can munch on a lot more.

Progesterone cream is strong stuff so it is possible to go too far and lower your estrogen making you shrink that way. Eventually you may need to stop the cream or if you need more then you can continue the cream but add on the phytoestrogen pueraria mirifica during the first 12 days of your cycle. But in your current condition pueraria mirifica would probably be bad because it''s exactly what you have too much of.

Those have got to be the 3 strongest and fastest substances by far. If it''s too intense you can lower the dose or there are slower options (and the above 3) in the link below. Some people gain a couple sizes in 2-3 months, whereas other ways might take up to a year or two. But not everybody is so fast so be patient. If after some time you don''t feel any response starting at all like mild soreness or swelling, not even a little, then read up and try something else.

You can always gain some weight back .. that''s unfortunately the only way.

How to burn high calories and lose weight fast?

I''m 14 and 114 lbs. That doesn''t sound too bad but considering the fact that I''m 4''11 only it''s a problem. I''m not comfortable in my own body and although it''s in the "average" zone for BMI right now I know I''m still chunky.
I''ve gone down 19 lbs since the middle of last school year by starving myself and eating only dinner (I have to since we eat as a family but I get away with eating half) plus drinking tons of water but I can''t take it anymore. I seem to always be reaching for fatty snacks nowadays and I can''t control myself. I think about purging it away but I start crying and then freak out.
I exercise about 3 times a week for thirty minutes or more but it won''t help. I''ve gained two pounds in the past week and I''m literally sobbing about it. My parents won''t get me diet pills or anything and I''m obsessed with my weight now, all I think about is calorie counting.
In 5 days my best friend who recently moved to New York is coming back to where I live, he specifically asked to hang out with me and I was elated. I want to buy a pair of high waisted shorts to wear the day I see him because I have the perfect outfit.
Can someone please give me tips on how to loose weight fast?! It doesn''t have to stay off forever but just long enough for me to show him. I want him to be impressed with me. I don''t like him or anything but it would mean so much.

How to Burn Fat Without Losing Weight

Recommended Answer:
Not if you stuff your face.
You still need to restrict your calories.

You have over 100lbs to lose. That will never come off quick. 1-1.5 years for that weight loss is a realistic goal. For your height you should aim for an over all final weight of 150.
If you slow down and set small but realistic goals you will be more successful.

I think your money will be much better spent joining a gym. Insanity is very difficult, even for a very fit person who is of normal weight. The heavier you are the harder it is and there is always a risk of you not completing it because it''s too hard. A gym would be a better use of your money because you have far more options. You can swim, bike, do stairs, elliptical, run, do weights etc. Plus Insanity will get old after a while. You won''t want to do the same thing all the time long term. Remember to keep the results you have to keep up that level of activity for as long as you want the results. You can''t stop as soon as you get what you want.

Eat green veggies ,and avoid meat and its products ,
when you buy packaged food look at the labels, so they have no corn starch, or saturated fat in them and sugar as well.
and exercise a lot ,and get more water.
but I think its better to go to a doctor, he will give you the appropriate schedule,
Good luck

Weight loss that I'm confused about?

OK, so I started a new (very intense) exercise regimen just to mix things up as I just would like to lose 5 pounds. I've never been overweight so it's not about that. So, I started the routine this week (kettlebells) and am on the my rest days. I tend to eat very carefully but ate a bit crappy the last 2 days (not a whole pizza or anything just more than normal for me) and I LOST 2 pounds. I have ideas as to why but if somebody else has a good answer that's awesome. Thanks everybody!
Thanks first responder, I do all of those things already. I'm just interested in an answer to my question. But thank you.
Maybe I'm not clear: I do exercise regularly. I just added a new routine. I don't understand the 2 pound weight loss. Thanks again!

Lose Weight the Right Way and Keep it Off

Recommended Answer:
You probably found your caloric need. Did you maintain that weight loss? Were you eating more consistently throughout the day? Did you eat more protein?

Eating often keeps your metabolism cooking, and keeping a consistent protein intake throughout the day encourages muscle growth. If you've increased intensity, your protein and general caloric need will have increased. In order for your body to respond appropriately to the new demands, it needs to be fueled adequately. Eating several meals with protein in each meal (10+ grams?) will keep your muscles rebuilding and your metabolism fueled. Eating too few calories starves your body and makes it conservative in its caloric use.

That's my understanding. I'm not 100% on how it all works.

okay, to get into shape , speed up your metabolism, rid yourself of excess fat and lose weight ,,,,,do as follows:

Stop drinking & smoking (if you do this regularly)
eat fruits & vegetables all you can (buy a slow cooker /food steamer & rice/pasta cooker to make it easy on you)...(vegetables might not seem "tasty", like junk foods,, but can be as you aquire your taste to them..and are loaded with energy and nutrients)...avoid all junk food, cokes, sweets, etc...and drink mainly water (green tea , juice & milk being the other options you drink). If you eat meat ,,use only steamed, baking or grilled methods for preparing fish or chicken.

also, do an hour of walking each day at least. or some type of excercise.

* you should lose about 10 lbs per month
You maybe just hit a plateau. I used a program that helped me get over mine. I know how frustrating it is to put in a lot of hard work and come out with very little results.

Weight!someone who knows what they're talking about!NO HATE!?

Ok so my bestfriend is overweight she needs to lose 100lbs and doesn't know how to..she's willing to do the excerise etc but some tips for her please? Thanks!

How Thai Food Can Help You Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
When I was 250 I hated working out and eating right obviously. I didn't like the gym or working out so I did something that was fun I started skating 2-3 days a week and just adding more activity like taking the stairs and riding my bike. I stopped eating junk candy chips cake cookies pizza etc and stopped eating after 7. I also started fasting every other day and, I lost 115lbs in about 6 or 7 months. I eat 100 calories snacks on Sunday and is a treat. I still skate 2 or 3 days a week and is fun losing the weight made bike riding way easier so therefore more fun. I also eat healthy everyday not fasting but three days a month. Healthy versions of junk isn't so bad.

I know what I'm talking about and losing that much weight will take a combination of diet and exercise.
A good plan would be:

Breakfast: low fat milk on cooked 9-grain cereal (from health food store), mixed with cooked oatmeal and wheat bran. Add some nuts and berries. Drink hot Ovaltine.

Lunch: Egg, tuna or turkey sandwich on whole grain bread with bean or alfalfa sprouts and yogurt w/fruit. If you had meat loaf for dinner, bring a meat loaf sandwich (NO mayo). On cold days, a squatty thermos of hot chili, split peas with ham or beef stew.

Snacks: Fresh (not canned) fruit: banana, orange, apple, kiwi, grapes, peach, nectarine, cherries, pineapple. No chips and nothing ever from a vending machine.

Dinner: salad with white meat chicken and fresh (not canned) veggies: tomatoes, 2 kinds of lettuce, 2 kinds of shredded cabbage, shredded or sliced carrots, alfalfa or bean sprouts, zucchini, hard boiled eggs, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, tofu, cottage cheese...Instead of dressing, squeeze 1/4 tomato over it.

Or homemade bean/vegetable soups; great way to recycle leftovers.

Or omelet: In blender, whip together eggs, tofu, cottage cheese, onions, garlic powder. Cook with mushrooms, chopped tomatoes.

Foods to avoid: junk food, pastries, desserts, sugar, salty foods, syrup (even canned fruit in syrup), peanut butter, fatty/greasy foods (pork, wieners, chops, bacon, salami, pizza), pasta, potatoes, white bread, rice, canned veggies, ice cream, fast food, soda, chips. And of course no tobacco or alcohol in any form. Both of those add wrinkles and destroy your brain. No oil except olive and mac nut. Coffee also rots your brain.

To keep your skin clear, drink water. Veg. juice is good too. But not canned juice (too much sugar.)

Join a gym; they have all the equipment and staff to show you how to use it to get the look you want to achieve. Much cheaper than buying your own equipment. Also hiking, biking, jogging, bowling, swimming, badminton, tennis...

If you lack energy to exercise, take stress B vitamins.
To lose weight, try an appetite suppressant.
Just remember, no exercise can substitute a good diet!!!! doesn't matter what you do in the gym if you aren't working hard in the kitchen too.

Fastest Way to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don't eat wheat then you don't eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don't eat junk food, and you don't eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
your problem areas for men and women. It's not necessarily to become a
bodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help you
to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

Is my life messed up or what?

I am force fed this gross muck that help me gain weight, I am losing confidence and I feel fat and down all the time. I have so many things in my life that need to be done, but I never have the motivation. I have a brother that makes me feel like I don't deserve to live, tried to drown me when I was 5, and strangle me when I was 8. I want to kill myself, and I'm already doing self harm, my parents oblivious to it. My relatives, counselors, and "friends" turn a deaf ear when I talk to them about this stuff. My friends don't exist, they're just nice people. I'm a star student in everything and it puts a lot of stress and jealousy on me. I am often humiliated and bullied by people, and my life is a mess. I try to sort things out neatly, I play them out one by one like cards in my head. I end up failing every time. I really messed up my life. What do I do.........
@chloe I do. Every night. 20 mins. In a quiet room. With incense.

my weight is being weird..?

hi guys.. i just need some opinions. i've been healthy dieting for about a week now, and after 3-4 days, i lost 3-5 lbs.. i was pretty content.

however, i gained it all back even though i've been restricting what i'm eating. i'm confused.. i don't think it's water weight.

i also think it may be my scale. every time i wear clothes it adds 5 lbs to my weight! when i take my clothes off, it goes back to the normal weight. I weighed my clothes and they were only 1-2 lbs.

PLEASE HELP! any also, any weight loss suggestions would be appreciated as bonus.. :)

Question about VO2 max and losing weight?

I would like to get my VO2 up because it is only at 29 (I know that is low). So I planned on starting to run on the treadmill but I found out I don't lose as many calories when I run instead of briskly walk (We use polar watches that tell you your heart rate/calories burned since you put in personal data). It is normal to not burn as many running as walking, right? But I also want to lose weight and I am no good at this. I'm 19, a female, and I have asthma. For a class we have to do 4 workouts a week. How can I get my VO2 up AND burn lots of calories? I also don't really have friends to play sports or do workout videos with or anything.
I like situps but can't stand pushups. I hurt myself in highschool when I was forced to do them. How would they make you lose that many calories though?
I'm also not going to buy a book/program off the computer...

Foods to Lose Weight Healthily

Recommanded Answer:
Ah, this is way easier than you think....

High intensity interval training (HIIT).

Do one minute or 30 second sprints at 80% of Training heart rate (high cardio level or low peak on a tread mill...around 7 MPH). Drop the speed down to 3.5 MPH for 30 secs to 1 minute to let your heart rate drop. (If you have to, go to 2 MPH to get heart rate down to 50-60%). Then back up to 70-80% for another interval. Try doing that for 15 minutes to start; as you improve, you can get up to 30 minutes.

If you don't have a treadmill you can use, you can do the same on a track. Shoot for 1.5 miles total, which is 6 laps on a 1/4 mile track. Sprint the length, jog the curve, sprint the length, jog the curve...etc. Walk if you have to, but only one curve.

I've done this for 2 times a week for 4 weeks and have increased my VO2 max twice and increased my speed from 6 MPH to 7, and increased my intervals from 30 secs to 1 minutes. (Dropped 12 pounds in the 3 weeks, but that's not the point) And I'm an old chick. here's an article on it. http://www.shape.com/fitness/workouts/8-benefits-high-intensity-interval-training-hiit

I don't know what VO2 is, but I have a couple tips on losing weight.

• If you have a smartphone, try setting an alarm on it to do 20 push-ups hour. If you do this often, before you know it, you'll be healthy and fit!

• If you don't own a smartphone, try to remember.

• If you have an Xbox with kinect, try to buy an exercise game.

• During commercials when watching TV do 7 push-ups every other commercial. Increase the number if you think you are able to.

• If you actually want to get abs, do sit-ups. It's a great workout to get abs.

• Laughing. Laughing is a great way to burn off those calories with simply flexing your stomach. (Flexing your stomach happens when you're laughing)

• Swimming. It's another great way to burn those calories. You can also tread water whe in the water.

You'll do great! I know you can!

How long until my body starts eating its own fat

5 foot 5 inches
165.1 pounds
200 cals or less a day
4 herbal diet pills a day (2 types, containing kelp, apple cider vinegar, b6, lecethin; white willow bark, caffeine.)
Water is the only liquid I consume.
Possibly starting interval training today on the treadmill.

When will my body FINALLY start to get rid of this ugly fat on my body? I've done this years ago and lost over 30 pounds. I'm not anorexic, I have control and will stop when I'm around 113 pounds.

Any other tips? Thank you.

Also, no hateful comments please. It is my body, my choice.

How Thai Food Can Help You Lose Weight

Recommanded Answer:
Bad way to do it.

1. You can't get sufficient micronutrients on 200 kcal per day.

2. Your body is always using a mix of fat and carbohydrates (glycogen) as fuel, but it can't run on fat alone. It can't convert fat that fast. If you stop eating altogether (200 calories is pretty much the same as not eating), your body starts consuming muscles and organs as well as fat. Do it long enough, brain damage can result. Your brain only uses carbohydrate fuel, not fat.

3. You can't do any sort of effective exercise once you've run through your glycogen stores. Ask any cyclist about "bonk", which is what happens when you run out of fuel. When that happens 10 miles from home, it ain't pretty. Been there done that.

Attempting interval training while starving yourself will only accelerate the damage.

4. You CAN train your body to use fat as fuel more efficiently via endurance training (like cyclists, marathoners, triathletes), but you can't do endurance training while starving yourself

Reasonable calorie restriction, plus exercise resulting in 1-2 pounds per week weight loss is the safe, sane, and healthy way to do it.

Not eating a whole day will make your stomach shrink and begin to eat its fat. I'm 14 I'm 5'5" and 116 I don't think you should be doing this I know it's your body but this is unhealthy you can loose weight by eating everyday meals but small portions less than. 200 calories your starving yourself "starve for perfection". If you want to talk inbox me . I'm not trying to be mean or anything it's just sad how people will do anything including starvation to loose weight I wish you luck and to always love your body

Enough exercise to continue losing weight?

Ok first I'm a college student so my schedule is hectic Monday through Thursday so I've had to make arrangements on my exercise . I do a 30 minute work out plus weights one day through Monday and Thursdays and Friday and Saturdays I do 75 minutes of of Zumba ... Each. I also count all my calories and control them ... They say we should get 150 minutes of exercise a week and I do but is this enough exercise to continue losing weight ?

Top Five Tips to Lose Weight

Recommanded Answer:
Yes

How do you keep your body from "adapting" to your workout and diet?

Once I started losing weight and gaining muscle, after the initial "burst" there's the plateau where the weight loss slows and it's a little harder to make progress.

What can I do to minimize this plateau?
I train Monday and Thursdays upper body, abs and interval sprints.
Tuesday and Friday lower body, abs and resistance intervals (high resistance/low resistance intervals on stepper/eliptical).
Wednesday is full 1 hour endurance cardio.
Saturday is sports; basketball, hiking, swimming..whatever I want as long as I do something. (I usually take my daughter with me)
Sunday is rest, recovery or light exercise (active recovery).

My sessions run 60-71 minutes with at least 20 minutes of cardio.
My diet is a calorie cycling diet set for about 10000 calories a week. I've lost 14 pounds in 4 weeks and increased my weights by almost 20 pounds, so I'm making good progress, but this 4 week mark is where I start to stall and plateau. I don't want to let that plateau last more than a couple of weeks.

My ultimate goal is just being in good shape.....and consistent progress.

Six Simple Ways For You To Lose Weight

Recommanded Answer:
First, recognize that such plateaus are natural; most folks experience them.
Second.. The classic method is to cross train. Don't do the same thing all the time.
You don't say what you're doing, but if you're running try cycling or swimming, or circuit training at a gym... Whatever is available and piques your interest.
Also, doing intervals helps a lot of folks as the other contributor notes.

If you just go out and run at a steady pace for a given time... Try mixing it up. Throw in some sprints, climb a hill, go to a "parcourse" exercise course and work your way around that.

Change up your exercise routine. Keeps your body on its toes!
Mix up your workouts or try doing a circuit style workout. Jillian Michaels 3-2-1 circuits keep my body burning. I recommend the 30 Day Shred. It takes 20 minutes a day and the best part is the results. The video has 3 different levels which are on youtube. You don't need any special equipment or even a lot of space. Just enough to lay down for ab work or for push-ups.
Losing weight is one of main problem for some people. If you are one of them, there are many ways to lose weight, You can go to the gym, or control your diet. However, there is actually a medication for that. It is called the ACAI. ACAI is a world known preparation, which is used in order to help people lose excess weight. The preparation is 100% natural thus the possibility of side-effect appearance is very low. ACAI should be used in combination with a healthy diet and physical exercise in order to achieve the maximum effect. It is effective. You can get it at livehealthmart.com

Can drinking 64 oz of water a day help you lose weight?

If so how much? I'm trying to eat healthier and lose weight and I heard drinking a lot of water helps.

Recommanded Answer:
It's more that water doesn't have any calories and it will keep you filling more full so you won't snack as much. It does help with a lot of the body's process' but don't expect too much. Find an Enjoyable Exercise and keep it that way. Exercise if the far better half of " exercise and dieting", so many more benefits can be gained and weight loss will be faster and easier overall.

Drink 2 glasses of water the moment you get up, and 2 right before your meals. Also drink a glass in between meals :)

Yes, drinking lots of water is great. You can't eat too much if your tummy is already full of water. Good way to lose weight and keep your skin clear. A good plan would be:

Breakfast: low fat milk on cooked 9-grain cereal (from health food store), mixed with cooked oatmeal and wheat bran. Add some nuts and berries. Drink hot Ovaltine.

Lunch: Egg, tuna or turkey sandwich on whole grain bread with bean or alfalfa sprouts and yogurt w/fruit. If you had meat loaf for dinner, bring a meat loaf sandwich (NO mayo). On cold days, a squatty thermos of hot chili, split peas with ham or beef stew.

Snacks: Fresh (not canned) fruit: banana, orange, apple, kiwi, grapes, peach, nectarine, cherries, pineapple. No chips and nothing ever from a vending machine.

Dinner: salad with white meat chicken and fresh (not canned) veggies: tomatoes, 2 kinds of lettuce, 2 kinds of shredded cabbage, shredded or sliced carrots, alfalfa or bean sprouts, zucchini, hard boiled eggs, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, tofu, cottage cheese...Instead of dressing, squeeze 1/4 tomato over it.

Or homemade bean/vegetable soups; great way to recycle leftovers.

Or omelet: In blender, whip together eggs, tofu, cottage cheese, onions, garlic powder. Cook with mushrooms, chopped tomatoes.

Foods to avoid: junk food, pastries, desserts, sugar, salty foods, syrup (even canned fruit in syrup), peanut butter, fatty/greasy foods (pork, wieners, chops, bacon, salami, pizza), pasta, potatoes, white bread, rice, canned veggies, ice cream, fast food, soda, chips. And of course no tobacco or alcohol in any form. Both of those add wrinkles and destroy your brain. No oil except olive and mac nut. Coffee also rots your brain.

To keep your skin clear, drink water. Veg. juice is good too. But not canned juice (too much sugar.)

Join a gym; they have all the equipment and staff to show you how to use it to get the look you want to achieve. Much cheaper than buying your own equipment. Also hiking, biking, jogging, bowling, swimming, badminton, tennis...

If you lack energy to exercise, take stress B vitamins.
To lose weight, try an appetite suppressant
No. Drinking copious amounts of water will not help you lose weight. Just drink when your thirsty.
