If you finance the surgery through a bank, can you still get the tax deduction? And how do you do it? Do I save receipts, and get an accountant?

I have no insurance and my life depends on this surgery, and with the government allowing WLS as a tax deduction over 7.5% of annual income, it seems like my only feasible option.

Any insight into this is appreciated.

Adam W asked:


I really want to play football, I mentioned this to some friends and they scoffed at me lol. I’m 5′7” and about 150, I know I’m kind of small to be wanting to play football. Which is why I’m trying to bulk up. I need to pack about 50 lbs, hopefully by next football season. They seemed to think I can’t do it. Which only makes me want to do it more. So if anyone could give me a few links to some sites with good muscle building/diet tips I’d appreciate it. Or if you you have some tips of your own those are welcome too.

I’d prefer not to take supplements, but I guess I don’t really have a problem with it as long as it’s not dangerous.

Losing weight fast unlike what some people would have you believe does not have to be hard, in fact many times it can be quite easy if you have the right system in place.

Help I need to lose weight quickly & permanently!

Here are some ways you can begin to start losing weight:

* Do body weight squats every day - This helps to strengthen your core muscles and allows for you to do increasingly more strenuous workouts. Its basically the gateway daily exercise to get you on your way to high intensity workouts.

* Limit your food intake past 6pm and don\’t eat desserts - Your metabolism takes a dive past 6pm which can cause you to store calories eaten late in the evening. Be careful what you do end up eating at night and most importantly avoid desert. Foods high in starch and sugar as are most deserts will spike your blood sugar, this causes your body to store even more fat than normal and as I mentioned this means you\’ve got even more calories to burn the next day. If you eat this way all the time then its only a matter of time before you are 40 pounds overweight and trying to figure out where you went wrong.

Eric Wilkes asked:


A question often asked by those looking to lose a few extra pounds is whether or not weight loss diet supplements actually work. The Answer? Well, it\’s both yes and no. Here\’s why…

The market today is so saturated with junk products people are often lured by savvy marketing. While it\’s great for business, it\’s not so great for you the end user. Far too often do I see people who unfortunately make a purchase based on impulse. Shortly after they quickly realize they were suckered into the latest and greatest \”FAD\”, totally wasted their money, and most importantly never experienced the results they were anticipating.

If you choose to use weight loss diet supplements be sure you do your homework. Research the company, read testimonials, if possible talk to actual product users and ask them about their experience. Don\’t be fooled by only good testimonials supplied by the company, take time and be sure you talk to actual users. Weigh the pros and cons of each testimonial. Make sure you also research any complaints that may have been compiled against the particular supplement you are considering.

Try to understand the ingredients in the product. Since there are so many, this step is critical because taking the wrong weight loss diet supplements could actually do you more harm than good, it may even kill you! I don\’t want to scare you but you should take the time to understand what side effects could occur so you know what to expect. Don\’t get suckered in by some marketing lure, take your time and be sure you are getting a product that will work.

Look at the history of the company, do they offer some type of NO hassle guarantee? If you want to truly measure whether or not you are going to see results, look for a company that has a 60 or 90 day money back guarantee. That will give you ample time to try out the product and most importantly see results. I would stay away from any product that does not have a guarantee associated with it. By offering a guarantee it tells you that the company is serious enough to stand behind its product and it\’s more than likely going to give you the results that you are looking for. At that point your risk is reduced to zero and it\’s all up to the weight loss diet supplements to do the rest.

Weight loss diet supplements can and will work, when you\’re using the correct ones. Above all, be sure you take the time to properly educate yourself about the products that you are considering. Don\’t get scammed by the latest and great pill that promises to do incredible things for you. It will give you a sense of false hope and you will only be let down. Ultimately with careful selection you\’ll not only be able to shake off a few extra pounds but you\’ll be able to keep it off and never have to fear it coming back on.

While multitudes of weight loss products are available in the market at present, the most effective means of weight loss is definitely by means of following a healthy and controlled diet along with a strict exercise regimen. It is true that in the presence of various quick weight loss methods, these traditional modes of weight loss have taken a backseat but it is to be remembered always that it is one of the most effective means of losing weight even today. In an age when obesity is a growing danger having adverse effects upon health, weight loss is the primary agenda for obese individuals. It is important to ensure a suitable and healthy diet for weight loss to ensure that the body receives adequate proportions of nutritional elements as well as cause weight loss. First of all, there are a several low fat food items available in the market and while not all of them may be effective in causing weight loss, buying form reliable manufacturers will ensure weight loss.

Reduction of fat intake is also possible by excluding the consumption of egg yolk. Chilies are considered as constituents which increase the rate of metabolism and therefore are conducive to weight loss as well. While fat and carbohydrate contents are to be regulated considerably to ensure weight loss, moderate proportions of protein within an individual’s diet is extremely necessary. While increased consumption of meat can be detrimental to weight loss, one can replace it with tofu or soya beans which are high in protein content and are good for health without increasing calorie intake. Fibrous fruits are considered to be extremely beneficial for weight loss and therefore it is advisable that fruits and vegetables are consumed with the skins which contain high proportions of fiber which can facilitate weight loss in an individual. Skipping meals for weight loss is absolutely not recommended and while it can reduce weight, it can also cause considerable harm to health. Instead one should consume food items in smaller quantities therefore one must not fully give up meals and follow a balanced diet to ensure the intake of proper proportions of nutrients and then reduce the consumption of high calorie food items. It is also suggested that one must not have his meal about three hours prior to going to bed. The most important factor that should be kept in mind in case of having a perfect weight loss diet is to ensure proper guidance from a certified medical practitioner to be sure that the diet is suitable.

Exercising everyday and eating less and healthier has not worked at all.

Alan Chai asked:


Are you looking to lose that excess weight or just been thinking about this subject? This is not something that you should undertake lightly or without some serious planning first. If you are going to get involved in any of the popular weight loss diets currently out there, you need to look for 3 key things that will help you take off that excess weight and learn how to keep it off  permanently; A Good Support System, Sensible Eating Plan and Easy To Follow Exercise Plans. You want you be very sure that any program is not a fad diet that will create a problem

A Good Support System

What this refers to is that you always have someone or a group of people to talk to in the process of your weight loss when involved with any of the weight loss diets out there. There is nothing worse that reaching a plateau in your weight loss and having absolutely no one that you can call for support or guidance. Mind you, there are some diets out there that really leave you all by yourself to do this. This is not the best way to go about this.

Sensible, Healthy Eating Plan

This is also of the utmost importance! If you are not eating a healthy, properly balanced diet currently; this may take you completely by surprise. Most of the weight loss diets available today have taken many different factors into consideration when they design or suggest a sensible and healthy eating pattern. The main things to remember are: to eat several small (instead of 3 large) meals, making sure that you add good healthy snacks throughout the day and… this may sound strange… satisfy those food cravings.  You usually crave certain foods because there is something in that food that your body needs.

Good Exercise Plans

This is a third component of some of the best weight loss diets that will help you to not only take off the extra weight, but also keep it off once you have reached your target weight. Some of the best exercise plans are customized to each person’s fitness level and personal needs. This is the best possible way to make sure that you will not be trying to get into an exercise program that is totally out of your league; be it too difficult or too easy. This is a sure-fire way that you will give up very easily!

Watch Out For Fad Diets

This is the one area that you really have to be extremely careful about when it comes to weight loss diets; the programs and diet systems that sound too good to be true. They usually are too good to be true; and actually turn out to be Very Dangerous in the long run to you. The main things to look out for are outrageous claims about the amount of weight lost in a week and no need to watch how you eat or no exercise necessary.
