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.

Q. I’m a 40-year-old woman with a teenage

son and daughter. My husband and I both

want to lose 10 pounds (4.5 kg) and the

children would also like to lose some

weight. Can I put the whole family on the

program?

A. It would be great if you could, but you cannot. The number

of calories per day is the problem. Teenagers require

significantly more calories each day than 1500, which is

the highest level. Check with a registered dietician (RD) for

appropriate recommendations.

Your teenage son and daughter, however, could follow the

Bowflex® exercise routines.

Q. I’m afraid that I might get large, unfeminine

muscles from some of the Bowflex®

exercises you recommend in this course.

What can I do to prevent this from

happening?

A. You are worrying about large muscles unnecessarily.

Building large muscles requires two conditions. First, the

individual must have long muscles and short tendons.

Second, an abundance of testosterone must be present

in the blood stream. Women almost never have either of

these conditions.

Under no circumstances could 99.99 percent of American

women develop excessively large muscles. Progressive

resistance exercise such as Bowflex® home gym will

make your muscles larger—but not excessively large—

and larger muscles will make your body firmer and more

shapely.
