How do i get my dog to gain weight?

I have a 2 year old boxer who is incredibly high energy. she was at 47 lbs and quite lean. when my roommate brought home a puppy who had worms, my dog got them too. She is now worm free, and healthy, but at 40lbs. Too thin. I can see all her ribs and hip bones. She's been on puppy food for a month and not gaining anything. Recommended daily feeding is 3 cups, I feed her 6 plus peanut butter, plus an egg a day, plus 2 chicken breasts a week. The dog did a fecal test and came up with she's a typical high energy boxer. The problem is my next door neighbor has threatened to report me to animal control. I know with the vet record I'm covered, but I don't want to go through the hassle of dealing with that. Any suggestions? I

How to Lose Weight Without Eating Healthy

Recommended Answer:

My puppy was the runt of her litter at 8wks and had a very hard time putting on weight. When I brought her home and introduced her to her new puppy food, slowly- she got diarrhea and was hard pressed to drink water. I took her to vets almost immediately and they gave me a special wet meat puppy food designed to help promote growth and development and put on weight- I would mix it with her regular dry puppy food once her stomach was used to it, and did that 3 times a day and did frequent weight checkups. Also high calorie treats like rollover or chicken breast are great! This is just my experience of course...

• Take it to the vet and if they say that she is perfectly fine then use a thicker base food

How much weight can be lost eating just fruits and vegetables?

I'm a 15 year old girl, 5'4-5'5, 165 pounds. Now, before people assume I'm just a stupid girl wanting to drop pounds fast I actually want to do this to boost my health. I grew up being sick all the time and have already had to have my gall bladder removed in just the last few months. I honestly just want to be healthier and dropping a few pounds along the way doesn't sound too bad either. I've learned that for my height and build that my "ideal" weight is around 117 lbs and that number kind of scares me at the moment so i guess my goal would be around 130-140 and i can work up from there or stop, depending on how I feel about myself. I am an athlete and I play for almost 6 months out of the year, sometimes more, and when I'm not I manage my school's volleyball team which actually is more of a workout than you think. However, I already have a membership at my local gym and I plan to work out everyday after school, if possible, for at least an hour. I have an aunt who eats just fruits and vegetables and makes up for some of the protein she misses out on with protein shakes and vitamins. I have seriously never seen a more healthy woman in my life and she looks amazing for her age(Around 40). I dont really know what foods would be ideal for a lifestyle like this one (veggies that have protein etc) and I'm just looking for information. I dont have a time limit because i want this to be as healthy and natural as possible. So PLEASE refrain from being rude and telling me this is impossible because i personally know someone whos living this way. I'd really help if you could list foods or ways you think would work better. Thank you~

How to Lose Weight Without Getting Saggy Skin

Recommended Answer:

So i think your talking about a vegan diet if you just want to eat fruits and vegetables. A diet as such can be very healthy for you, but only if you do the diet correctly. You wont just drop weight from switching onto such a diet. If you exercise whilst on said diet, you will definitely be healthier and lost fat faster than if you eat meat and dairy. Switching will be difficult for the first week or two, but eventually, you don't even think about it and you will be back to normal (your body has to adjust to the change in diet). You will get less protein on a vegan or vegetarian diet but (assuming you do the diet correctly), it will be easy to get all your daily protein and more. You do not need to take supplements for anything (again, IF you do it correctly). Remember that this diet will not make you continuously lose weight, it will just prevent you from gaining lots of fat, raising cholesterol levels, and so forth. When going on a diet like this, remember that you will no longer get twice or three times your daily protein anymore (astonishing but you would be surprised how much extra protein meat gives you), so you will need to factor in that you are exercising to make sure that you get the proper amount of protein. I think you should see a nutritionist or dietitian about this, as the will often be the best source. Sometimes they may tell you its impossible to have no meat or whatever in your diet. I once went to a nutritionist years ago and they had no idea what they were talking about, they said i would lose weight non stop because i needed meat and dairy in my diet. Now its been 4 years since I've gone vegan and Im healthy (my parents were so worried they had me get blood tests to make sure lol. What your doing is fantastic.

How to Use Honey and Cinnamon to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

Depends on your age and how much weight. It is hard to lose more than 4 pounds in that period of time and even that is a big high in expectation.Remove all direct sugars. Reduce breads and starches to a minimum. Stop all fried foods. Remove all chicken skins adn breading. Drop calories to 1200 per day. Eat low calorie bluky things (I used apples 80 calories each almost a pound of bulk) between meals to curb hunger.Honestly, the quickest way to lose weight in two weeks is via fasting/starvation. Though, it's not the healthy path to take, it does work, and it works wonders. For all that says one can't lose a number amount of pounds in a short period of time is wrong. Anything is possible. But, you need to make sure this is something you want in order to be successful.

How to Diet with Brown Rice to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

It sounds like you like sports, and maybe you weight is a bit big not because of fat, but because of muscles? Muscles weight a lot more than fat. If I'm guessing right, then it might be a bit hard to lose weight. But there is always an option, afcourse you can balanace your diet and all that typical stuff to lose weight that everyone knows :)

Other Answers:

• A friend of mine told me about a book that she used to lose some weight. It has a unique concept, and I am always willing to try something different. Well, I tried it and it worked really well. I am sure you are thinking, yeah right. But I actually tried using this method, I am not just blowing smoke. Though, I figured out after trying it, that I was kind of doing it all my life and never really knew it. Anyway, I go back to it every now and then when I want to lose a few inches off my waist and I want to really put my mind to it. Once you try it, you just have it ingrained into your brain how to make it work without having to go back and read the book again. NOTE: You really have to have an open mind and just try it, but I am telling you it works. Go to the link below and check it out. I don't want to tell you what its called, because you won't believe me. Just click the link, it works!! Good Luck!
• You can try going on a 1200 calorie diet and doing some cardio exercise. It is pretty much what i do and i have lost 7 pounds already
• I'm done with my weight loss journey and completely happy with how I feel and how I look right now however losing weight is a challenge for anyone and even losing 5 pounds and keeping it off isn't an easy task. Also I bet you didn't know that 5 pounds of fat is about the size of 8 cheese burgers? That alone should be enough to make anyone want to get on the ball and start a change for the better. Weight loss can be really easy to learn but the problem is nobody wants to put the required effort that is needed to actually do it, instead people continually look for (easy) ways to do it. If there was an easy way to lose weight I don't think 35% of Americans would be obese. There was a time when I also wanted to lose weight and was tired of starting diets only to lose motivation and give up just a few weeks later after seeing no results. However, let me tell you it is literally one of the easiest things you will ever learn once you find a good and reputable place to learn it from and I say that only because the world is filled with magic diet pills, liquid flush diets and a thousand other quick fixes that promise xx pounds of weight loss in the first week and even though it is impossible they know you're going to do it because your desperate. I have probably tried every diet pill, liquid flush diet, and ab rocket machine known to man and have had no success with any of them nor do I know anyone that has ever had any success with them. I have also tried starving myself which works very well for the first few weeks' right before your metabolism comes to a complete stop and eating just the tiny bit makes you gain weight and you end up weighing more than you did before you started starving yourself. Companies promote weight loss to make money not to get people healthy again and that's because they know you're not going to be a customer and buy their products if you're no longer fat. http://fatloossfactor.com is a site I want you to go to when you have 10 or 20 minutes to spare and I want you to sit down and watch his video on weight loss. He helps people every day to lose weight I have never seen someone as committed as him and that will go so far out of his way to help someone. His weight loss program is one of the best I have ever had the enjoyment of doing and it is without doubt the best success I have ever had with any weight loss program. I also couldn't be happier with my body right now and I have never felt this wonderful in my whole life. In the end you just got to remember to stick with it and stay confident in yourself and in no time you can achieve the results you have always wanted. It's not hard to lose weight but most people have a hard time staying motivated and 9 times out of 10 it was because they weren't really committed from the beginning. Anyways I hope I helped you and I hope you make the commitment to change your body and life. Remember it's not easy to take the first step but you did, you're here right now taking it and the rest of the steps will fall into place. Have a wonderful day.

Do push ups make breasts bigger or smaller?

I feel like my breasts are very big and want to make them smaller without breast reduction surgery as I don't like the idea of surgery. So, I looked around on the web to see what I can do, and some sources said that exercises such as push ups make breasts smaller, but others said that push ups make breasts bigger. Does anyone know which one is true? I know that losing weight will help me reduce breast size, but also, is there any other way I can reduce the size of my breasts?

How to Lose the Flab After Losing Weight

Recommended Answer:

Pushups do not make your breasts smaller. They can build up the muscles under them making them look bigger/perkier. Breasts are fat. If you want to reduce them without surgery you need to lower your body fat %. I think people get confused because strong looking women tend to have smaller breasts but in reality their braests are small because they have low body fat %.

Other Answers:

• Ok well push ups will not do anything for you if anything it would make them bigger probably lol
• Losing weight only reduces your breast size if you have fat around your breast. And theres absolutely nothing you can do to make your breasts smaller. Doing push ups or lifting weights will only tone your breast muscle, not effect it's size. Also, just start embracing your big breasts, nothing wrong with having them. Hope I helped. :)
• Exercising the pectoral muscles does not increase the size of your breasts. It does however build the muscle underneith the breasts fatty tissue, which inturn builds the pectoral muscle under the breasts giving the appearance of larger breasts (it also makes your breasts lift). You are correct that (normally) losing weight reduces breast size. I do believe there are hormonal supplements that can be taken to reduce breast size but (besides having not so desirable side effects) these supplements will have to be taken continuously or all desired effects will return to natural state. In addition I would not consider to attempt to self medicate but seek out the advice of a physician. I don't know your reasons for wanting smaller breasts but take in mind that millions and millions are spent every year by women wanting what you have (I have myself had 2 breast augmentations).

How is my weight so far (I'm 20 weeks pregnant)?

My weight before pregnancy was 130. Now that I'm 20 weeks I weigh 141.So I've gained 11 pounds so far.About three weeks ago I was 143, but the last time I went to the OB, they told me I lost 2 pounds (but they weren't concerned about it).I was anorexic before becoming pregnant, but ever since I learned I was pregnant, I am eating "normally", though everyone still says I don''t eat nearly as much as most pregnant women. But to me, eating three meals a day is practically gorging myself. I also get full really quickly since about 3 weeks ago (but in my first trimester I had a bigger appetite).I am just afraid of gaining too much weight, and when they told me I lost 2 pounds, I got a really strong urge to go back to anorexia and lose more weight as fast as I could (but I'm not going to because I want a happy and healthy baby).Also my friend scared me because the other day she told me before she became pregnant with her first child she was anorexic, but then when she became pregnant she just started eating everything in sight. She ended up gaining 85 pounds by the end of her pregnancy!!I really don't want this to happen to me.Is 11 pounds by 20 weeks acceptable? At this rate, how much should I gain by the end. I'm still eating really healthy.

How to Lose Weight by Fasting

Recommended Answer:

That is perfectly fine! You're supposed to gain at least 25lbs throughout your whole pregnancy and sounds to me like you're right on track...Don't worry about gaining too much weight. Your friend obviously did not have any self control which is why she gained so much. Just maintain the self control and you should be absolutely fine.

Other Answers:

• talk to your doc about what your "ideal weight gain" should be, I cannot stress this enough. everyone is different. I was 210 when I was pregnant with my first son, and my "ideal gain" was no more than 15lbs. which was easy to do since I had horrible food aversions and could only keep water down most days. I only gained 14 and half of that was the actual baby lol

How much should I jog for a workout?

I was jogging a little over a mile everyday in the morning for a workout. I wasn't looking to lose weight...it was more to just stay in shape and be toned and fit. Lately I haven't been jogging and I've gained about 7 pounds. I'm starting to watch more what I eat and I want to go jogging again. Is a little over a mile a good amount to run? I want to lose these 7 pounds and maybe a little more especially off of the stomach area. Also is there any tips on how to get rid of excess belly fat or weight? Please answer:)

How to Lose Weight Without Diet Pills

Recommended Answer:

Don't jog do muscle building, I'm not talking about super muscular muscle building.You should start building muscle using weights because he the more you work out your muscles the higher you metabolism goes plus fat is needed to build muscle.Cardio workouts degenerate your muscles and make you weaker but it improves your endurance.If you start to see muscle and you don't like it you can jog it away.Now that I have muscles I can eat all I want because my metabolism built up, a tight body looks better that a slim one.

Other Answers:

• At least 15 minutes to start burning fat. In your case that ll probably be 2 miles but betterIs 3 miles. So you gonna have to step it up a notch. It shouldn't take lomg when you do this And monitor your food basically means for you just eat like you normally do sansThe junk food and softdrinks.
• A 15 - 20 minutes jog each day is good but you got to push your self. make it intense. Change your diet and contine the jogging for another week morning and evening then after five days start some sit ups. Google the different types and their effectiveness. Be consistent.
