 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.
