Twitter Q&A

This post is from my twitter daily tips / topic of the day. Follow me on Twitter @ezhomefitness

It's Friday! That can only mean that it's time for Q&A Friday! {woohoo!} So ask me your #diet, #exercise, #nutrition, #lifestyle questions!

Q: Can stress make me fat? A: Yes! Too long to go into but physically it can. Mentally it can too by causing u to not want to take care of u.

Q: I hate diet food, what do I do? A: Find a diet that allows the foods you like. This will help you to stick to it!

Q: I want to lose weight but am not motivated. Can you help? A: I can but not I nor anyone else can help you until YOU really want it.

Q: Is 5 hours of sleep enough? A: No. Your body requires more sleep to recover and work optimally. 7-8 hours is optimal.

Q: Is it best to eat less on rest days/less active days? A: Since your activity level is less, then in theory yes but it also depends on your workout regimen and the diet you are on. If u are a hardcore exerciser-eating more on a rest day can fuel the next days of workouts.

Q: My hair is thin and breaks easily, are there vitamins I can take? A: Yes. Look for hair strengthening supplements at a health food store.

Q: I hurt my wrist, how can I workout? A: Do non-weight/resistance exercise. Also, do isometric exercise until the wrist heals. Let it heal!
