I want to gain weight faster with less money. Can mayonnaise and margarine (as per my research for their calories) do the deal?
Recognise your purpose for weight gain.Is it to look good? Is it for health reasons? Is it peer pressure?Consider the logic and science behind.Mayonnaise (Full-fat) and margarine are high in fat (albeit polyunsaturated in margarine) and are therefore extremely energy-dense. Consuming them daily in large quantities without adequate physical activity is only a recipe for heart diseases. There are comparably negligible amounts of vitamins and minerals in these foods which are essential for your body to function healthily. Unless a person is critically underweight and required to gain weight in a short amount of time due to medical reasons, it is not recommended for a healthy individual to pile on mayonnaise and margarine in his/her daily diet.Consider alternatives.A healthier weight-gain solution would be to incorporate strength-based exercises into your daily (if not, weekly) schedule, plus increasing overall portion size of your meals. Be conscious about including food from all food groups (i.e. Carbohydrates, Meat and protein alternatives, Dairy, Fruits, Vegetables and Legumes) so as to obtain all essential vitamins and minerals for optimal health. Also, cost effectiveness should come in the form of purchasing more home-brand items, fresh foods that are in season, and more home-cooked meals rather than compromising essential nutrients that your body needs for a healthy metabolism.In conclusion,There are no short cuts to weight gain OR loss, as there are no short cuts to success in life. For optimum health results, weight gain (or loss) should be done gradually over a relatively long period of time.My advice is very generic and I would suggest that you chat with someone who has qualifications (i.e. dietitian, personal trainer) to better guide you on a weight-gain plan, a cost plan and an exercise regime that are tailored to suit your needs. All the better if it’s a friend who can advise you for free.

What type of mayonnaise can a diabetics person eat?
Mayonnaise falls in the category of fats and oils, and contains almost no carbohydrates.1 tbsp. of regular mayonnaise contains 103 calories and 11.7 g of fat, but no protein or carbohydrates, according to the USDA National Nutrient Database.Because only carbs can directly influence your blood sugar levels after a meal, regular mayonnaise does not boost your blood sugar levels and therefore does not interfere with your diabetes control. However, the foods you eat your mayonnaise with, such as potato salad, a sandwich or french fries, can definitely influence your blood sugar levels.Hope this helps!

What could it signify if your body craves mayonnaise? I look forward to joke and serious answers?
Thanks for the a2a.I agree with Terry Prothero that your body may be trying to compensate for inadequate fat intake.Then again it could be a new onset of malabsorption (for an unknown reason).If you find that you're eating mayonnaise in quantities that are unusual, or are secretive or binging then I would consult a physician and ask for a referral to a registered dietitian.You might get a good look at your dietary intake by keeping a dietary record of all food and beverage intake for a week or more. Include mayonnaise intake. Include quantities. Provide this record to physician, dietitian.Best
Does anyone know the so called Mayo Clinic Diet Recipe?
Mayo Clinic Diet What is the unofficial "Mayo Clinic Diet"? What was supposedly the Mayo Clinic Diet is a fad or crash diet. It is based around grapefruit, lots of salad and protein, and little carbohydrates. Weight loss was supposed to be in the region of 50-55 pounds in 10 weeks. Mayo Clinic Diet - Meal Plan This is a copy of the fad diet - and it IS NOT RECOMMENDED. 12 days on - 2 days off Breakfast 1/2 Grapefruit or 4 oz. Grapefruit Juice (unsweetened) 2 Eggs (any style) 2 Slices Bacon Lunch 1/2 Grapefruit or 4 oz. Grapefruit Juice (unsweetened) Meat (any style, any amount) Salad (any kind of dressing) Dinner 1/2 Grapefruit or 4 oz. Grapefruit Juice (unsweetened) Meat (any style, any amount) (fish may be substituted for meat) Vegetables (any green, yellow, or red vegetables cooked in butter or any seasoning) Bed Time Snack 1 glass tomato juice or 1 glass Skim milk Vegetables Allowed Red onions, green onions, bell peppers, radishes, cucumbers, broccoli, spinach, lettuce, cabbage, carrots, peas. Vegetables to Avoid White onions, potatoes, celery. Instructions At any meal you may eat until you are full - until you can't eat any more. Don't eliminate anything from the diet, especially don't skip bacon at breakfast or omit salads. It is the combination of foods that burn fat. The grapefruit is important because it acts as a catalyst that starts the burning process. Cut down on caffeine - it affects the insulin balance that hinders the burning process. Try to limit to 1 cup per meal at mealtime. Don't eat between meals. If you eat the combination of food suggested you will not be hungry. Note that the diet completely eliminates sugar and starches, which are lipids and form fat. Fat doesn't form fat; it helps burn it. You can fry food in butter and use butter generously on vegetables. Do not eat desserts, bread, and white vegetables or sweet potatoes. You may double or triple helpings of meat, salad, or vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed. The more you eat of the proper combination of food, the more you lose.
What's a good diet for a professional mma fighter?
Abby, Providing a step-by-step diet plan is challenging without knowing quite a few specifics about you; however, I can relay some basic guidelines that are easy to follow: 1. Avoid butter, margarine and vegetable oil 2. The best food preparation methods are, in order; raw, steaming, boiling 3. Avoid rich sauces, salad dressings, mayonnaise and ketchup 4. For Aerobic training you should follow the 70/15/15 rule: 70% carbs, 15% protein and 15% fats 5. For Anaerobic training you should follow the 50/35/15 rule: 50% carbs, 35% proteins and 15% fats 6. As a general rule focus on complex carbohydrates such as cereals, bananas, pears, whole-grain breads, legumes, nuts and potatoes 7. Avoid simple carbs such as candy bars, cookies, honey, syrup, white breads and pastries 8. Eat a healthy breakfast at least two hours prior to any intense training (assuming you train in the morning) while avoiding sugar, milk, eggs and high protein foods the day of an event 9. Eat high Glycemic Index foods such as pancakes, low-fiber fruit, fruit and vegetable drinks and potatoes the morning of an event 10. Supplements are just that... Supplements, so protein drinks and energy bars are fine in moderation but they don't replace all the nutrients your body requires 11. Drink water, lots and lots of water - I rarely see people drinking sufficient water 12. Generally speaking, the darker in color a fruit or vegetable the more nutrients the fruit or vegetable has, thus eating a "rainbow" of colors is one of the easiest methods of ensuring a balanced diet (nutrient-wise)
