A federal report indicated that 27% of children ages 2 to 5 years had a good diet—an increase previous years. How large a sample is needed to estimate the true proportion of children with good diets within 2% with 95% confidence?

sample size n is (t/b)^2 s^2, where t is critical value for conf. level (here 1.96), b is margin of error
(here .02), and s^2 is variance in population (here p(1-p)=.27(.73)=.1971).

So n=(1.96/.02)^2 (.1971) = 1892.9, and round up to 1,893

So i was wondering how to gain weight like which types of food would help a person to gain weight. Right now I’m 145 and i would like to gain 35 pounds in like three months is it possible and if not what type of meal plan would I need to have?

Well – if you want to gain blubber, eat lots of sugar and junk like cereal and rice and potatoes. If you want to gain muscle and bone, eat Atkins – that’s meat, eggs, cheese, nuts and green salad. Most people think of it as a REDUCING diet – but it doesn’t have to be. It’s just good food – with an absence of garbage food. It’s also cheaper overall than garbage food.

Get a used copy of "New Diet Revolution" off of Amazon Books – Atkins can walk you through how the deal works. When you quit eating the sugar, you also feel a lot better.

I need to get a flat stomach and lose about 15/20 pounds. I am 130 right now and also what are some good weight loss supplements that have worked for you?

I highly suggest you eat change your lifestyle by eating healthy and losing weight that way rather than going on diet pills. There are no secrets or magic pills to help you lose weight the only way is to get in shape by exercising and eating healthy. I would recommend trying a mushroom risotto recipe, it is filling, full of all of the essential fats, protien and the caloric count is not that bad (around 500 for one serving). I love mushroom risotto, its orginal and there are a lot great mushroom risotto recipes to try out, check it out–>http://mushroomrisotto.org

My issue is I am 29 and a stay at home mom. I am very busy and have very little time to exercise. I have been using my fittnes pal to help watch what I eat but I have stopped loosing with that alone. I think I need a good diet pill or something to help. Any suggestions?

Honestly, OTC diet pills don’t work. If anyone tells you otherwise, they are misinformed. There are prescription appetite suppression meds but you need to see a doctor to determine if they are an option for you.

It amazes me to think that some people do low carb diets and don’t get constipated?
How so?

The first 2 weeks when foods are limited you still eat a high fiber diet – just these 4 foods which should be eaten daily during induction, gives you 33.5grams of dietery fiber – well over the RDA of 25g & much higher than the Standard American Diet. After 2 weeks, you are allowed almost all nonstarchy vegs (less than 25g net carbs in week 3)

21g total carbs – 13g fiber – 8g net carbs – Lettuce, Romaine- 1 head
12g total carbs – 8g fiber – 4g net carbs – Celery – 4 cups chopped
6g total carbs – 4.5g fiber – 1.5g net carbs – half an avocado
8g total carbs – 8g fiber – .5g net carbs – Flaxseed 1 ounce 4T
————————————–…
47g total carbs – 33.5g fiber – 14g net carbs

* Dietary fiber RDA (recommended daily allowance) values are based on 25 grams of dietary fiber per day. It is generally recommended that adults eat 25 – 30 grams of dietary fiber per day.

What is a solid workout and meal plan for me to kick off now that summer has started? I’ve fallen way out of shape, but I want to get back into it! I’m 19, 6’1, and 185 pounds if that helps any.
P.S. I work 6-11 on most nights and have dinner when I get home. I suspect that is a big reason why I’ve been gaining the pounds as of late >.>

okay, to get into shape , speed up your metabolism, rid yourself of excess fat and lose weight ,,,,,do as follows:

Stop drinking & smoking (if you do this regularly)
eat fruits & vegetables all you can (buy a food/rice steamer to make it easy on you)…(vegetables are not tasty, like junk foods,, but can be as you aquire your taste to them..and are loaded with energy and nutrients)…avoid all junk food, cokes, sweets, etc…and drink water . If you eat meat ,,eat only steamed fish or chicken.

also, do an hour of walking each day at least. or some type of excercise.

* you should lose about 10 lbs per month

can i by any chance sell it to big companies? if you have any idea where i can sell it?

At it’s most basic, losing weight is about burning more calories than you eat. That seems simple enough, but if were really that simple, none of us would have a weight problem. Too often we take drastic measures to see results — diets, pills or those weird fitness gadgets on infomercials that promise instant success. Maybe you lose weight but what happens when you go off that diet or stop that crazy workout program? You gain it all back and more. The real secret to weight loss is to make small, lasting changes. The key is to forget about instant results and settle in for the long run.

My father was diagnosed with kidney cancer and needs to have one removed. (The other one is not cancerous.) While I told him that he should have his doctor recommend a dietitian, I need to know what changes he will need to make in his diet. Also, he is not a drinker any any sense, but he likes an occasional beer now and then. What precautions should he take?

His remaining kidney will work just fine with no changes to diet. Many people live with one kidney – and have no problems. Your father can eat whatever he likes, and an occasional beer will make no difference. He’ll be fine.

I know this sounds crazy I’m not looking for you to tell me its impossible,or that I need more to to do this. What I am asking is diets that maybe you yourself has used and worked. I will be enlisting in the Navy in around six months and I saw that the maximum weight for someone 5’7 is 127 pounds (correct me if I’m wrong) So please please please help me out here!!!!

I think its possible , might be you take double time but its possible to lose such weight. You might try to lose your weight fast but not advice able as that can cause negative affect on your body. The best way to control your weight is to control it using your diet and exercise. Diet pills are not the good option. You had to make a proper plan about you diet and exercise and follow it strictly for this consult some expert so he can suggest you better depending upon the needs of your body.
