Avatar n tn Hello there I just had a revision hip surgery on July 18th 2011 and I am still recovering and I wanted to know how I could get any kind of exercise or get my metabolism going when I can't do very much as of right now can you help me with some exercise ideas or tips?
Avatar m tn Since digestive enzymes were helping you earlier, you definitely have some enzyme deficiency related to carbohydrate metabolism. Diarrhea is the commonest and significant presentation. Treatment is restricting carbohydrate diet. You can consult a nutrition specialist to find which carbohydrates you can take and which you should eliminate. Take care!
Avatar f tn In specific studies in people with diabetes, sucralose had no effect on blood sugar levels, carbohydrate metabolism, or the secretion of insulin. Sucralose is not broken down in the body for energy and is excreted unchanged. As with most low calorie sweeteners, SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener also contains common food ingredients, in addition to the sweetener sucralose. These ingredients are added to give the product form and texture.
Avatar m tn Also, I read that a strenuous workout can actually increase your metabolism for up to 36 hours. I also watch what I eat. However, I have to be honest and say that I do not eat a lot of vegetables because I don't like them. I try to drink about 80 oz of water per day. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

Avatar f tn First, be sure of what a healthy weight is for your particular bone structure- for example, someone with larger bone circumference would not be expected to weigh the same as someone with small bones even if they are the same height. Secondly, in the morning, if you skip breakfast now, don't skip breakfast, because skipping breakfast actually causes your body to go into starvation mode, which means your metabolism slows down, which in the long run will not help you lose weight.
Avatar f tn As diabetes is a disease of altered carbohydrate metabolism, then the management involves greatly limiting carbohydrate intake. The degree of restriction varies by person (you have to use your blood glucose meter to detect the impact of different foods so you can learn which foods work for you and which do not), however it can go as low as 20 g a day from some, and up to maybe 130g a day for those who are very mild and more easily managed.
Avatar f tn has a doctor said your metabolism is in disrepair? if so, to what does he assign the cause? if not, what makes you think something is wrong? also, confused by a couple of comments. you said you are losing on 1200cals/day. then you said you want to repair metabolic rate to make it easier to lose. if you're losing, what else are you wanting? finally, cutting back calories at this point won't really help lose body fat, as you said you want to do in the second post.

Avatar n tn Hello, Presence of ketones in urine is not normal and can be found in metabolic abnormalities such as diabetes, renal glycosuria, or glycogen storage disease, dietary conditions such as starvation, fasting, high protein, or low carbohydrate diets, prolonged vomiting, and anorexia and conditions in which metabolism is increased, such as hyperthyroidism, fever, pregnancy or lactation. You need to consult a physician and get all these causes ruled out.
Avatar n tn Considering that diabetes is a condition of problem with carbohydrate metabolism, then this recommendation is concerning. Such high levels of carbs can cause very high blood sugars, and when combined with medications, can also see plunging and dangerous lows. The new approach is for people with diabetes to restrict carbohydrates. Followers of Dr. Richard Berstein generally target < 35 g/day.
Avatar n tn what do I need to take or do to help my metabolism improve my body cell's ability to absorb and utilize blood sugar?
Avatar f tn t have to follow a strict diet to reduce your weight , just follow basic steps which a speed up the metabolism and fat burning hormones and reduce weight.Always try healthy, filling snack, such as an apple and some other fruits. Smart snacking will assist you to lose weight.
1355431 tn?1369975306 Not a dumb question at all, but can only answer by saying it depends on how hypo your are. The more hypo you are, the lower the metabolism would be. This is something that can be measured by testing for basic metabolism. Testing for BMR or RMR is not done very much any more, probably due to the influence of insurance companies holding down cost. You might find this link interesting. It gives you an estimate of what your Resting Metabolic Rate should be. http://www.shapeup.
Avatar n tn Glucagon is an important hormone involved in carbohydrate metabolism. Produced by the pancreas, it is released when the glucose level in the blood is low (hypoglycemia), causing the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose and release it into the bloodstream. The action of glucagon is thus opposite to that of insulin, which instructs the body's cells to take in glucose from the blood in times of satiation.
Avatar f tn I have been formally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and possible Carbohydrate Intolerance. My issue is when I eat a load of carbs, it hits up to 3 days later and I can't hardly get out of bed and am weak most of the day. Everything I read about Carb Intolerance says that fatigue usually hits within the first few hours. Has anyone else experienced this? Carb crash, a day or days after the carbs are eaten?
Avatar n tn When you lose weight, you lose some muscle and fat. Muscle helps keep your metabolism up, which helps you burn calories. So when you lose weight, your metabolism declines, causing you to burn fewer calories than you did at your heavier weight. Your slower metabolism will slow your weight loss, even if you eat the same number of calories that helped you lose weight. When the calories you burn equal the calories you eat, you reach a plateau.
Avatar n tn A bit too short huh? :) I should of added that even a fast metabolism doesn't help if you are insulin resistant as I found out. Plus my metabolism isn't optimal either but I'm losing weight albeit more slowly since I changed my diet.
Avatar n tn As Per pubmed The effects of diltiazem hydrochloride, a vasodilator often used to treat hypertension, and beta-blockers (pindolol and propranolol hydrochloride) on lipid metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism were assessed by measuring serum levels of total cholesterol, high-density-lipoproteins (HDL)-cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose in patients taking these drugs for three months.
550805 tn?1215030875 People seem to talking as if sugar and carbohydrates are two different things. This is like saying that there are Buicks, and then there are automobiles. Actually, sugar (C12 H22 O11) IS a carbohydrate, a chemical structure that includes carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen which is what the word, "carbohydrate" means. Then again, there is "fuel" and there is "gasoline.
1363862 tn?1277832722 Hi Ola, It sounds to me that with your history of bulimia you've damaged your metabolism - I did the same thing a few years ago, although in my case it wasn't bulimia that did it. If your metabolism is damaged, your body uses fewer calories on a day-to-day basis because it has been forced into starvation mode, which means you are more likely to convert the food you eat into fat.
Avatar n tn According to Guyton and Hall Medical Physiology, the metabolism of the body means simply all the chemical reactions in all the cells of the body.
