Q. I've been having a lot of stomach pains for about 3 years now and I never noticed a pattern in it. Well I've finally found it. After I eat or drink a dairy product my stomach hurts. But I'm also a vegetarian. What are some foods I can eat and some diets to lose and keep the weight off?

A. I'm lactose intolerant too. You can take loads of soy products like soya milk, taufu, beans stuffs. To keep weight off, you can take grain/wheat/brown bread instead of white bread. Brown rice, rice etc. Stay off cheese & chocolates (reduce chocolate intakes & sugar). U can take honey & stay off carbonated drinks. These have loads of sugar. U must exercise as well, diet itself won't keep the weight off. A normal 30mins. run/walk would do daily or even housework will burn the carbs.

A. The two most popular diets are: - Calorie restricted diet - Atkins diet Neither diet is effective over a period of one year or more (Gina Kolata "Rethinking Thin"). The human body is architected to prevent starvation and was not designed to handle the amount of fat, oil, sugars, and additives in the standard American diet today. When you eat too few calories, your body automatically reduces metabolizm and stores fat. Calorie restricted diets go against the hard wiring of the human brain.

Why do most diets seem to want you to avoid caffeine? Is it fattening?
Q. I'm just curious as to why most of the diets that I have been on in my life have wanted me to avoid caffeine. When I was on the Atkin's diet some years back it advocated avoiding caffeine. Now that I am trying out the "raw foods" diet, the guidlines to it advocate avoiding caffeine as well. Why is this? Is caffeine fattening? I can find no information to tell me that it is for a fact fattening available online, so I'm turning to you people for an answer. Thanks for the info!

A. It can make you jittery, increase your heart rate, cause you to have difficulty sleeping, etc., and is often used in diet pills due to it's appetite suppressant effect. It also has diuretic properties, which will cause you to urinate more frequently and could potentially lead to dehydration if you consumed enough and then went on to work out. It is a natural product, but if you want to feel full then consuming more fiber at each meal is a good way to do it - and you can do this with the raw diet. Good luck to you.
