Patient discussion about runs.

Q. How long should I run on a treadmill to start seeing weight loss? I'm around 240 lbs and 5'11. I started weight loss training about 2 months ago and just realized that I was neglecting cardio. I'm definitely seeing some differences from the weight training, but my extra fat is hiding the real changes. I know that it isn't an instant drop and I know that diet has everything to do with weight loss, but I do a run/walk for about 30 minutes and feel like it is doing nothing. Any help is appreciated.

A. When walking/running, especially on a treadmill, you will have to make sure that your body gets a "workout". This usually means that your sweating and your heart rate is higher then a normal leisure walk after your walk/run. An average of 30 minutes three to four times a week should be good.
To see any difference, it would take about a few weeks if your out of shape. If your in relatively good shape, the loss could take about two to three months. The loss will be gradual at best.
Remember, a balance diet (ie: eating proper foods and not skipping a meal) will help trim the fat.

Q. Has anyone every known ADHD meds to be harmful in the long run? I see that the ADHD meds are helping my child concentrate on her school work and do better. Is there a long term affect from these pills? Can they cause major problems for my child in the future?

A. Every medication has side effects. An estimation is done to see if the risk is worth it or not. They can be different from one person to another. I would advise you to look on this page and to know them so you can connect if you’ll ever notice one of them.

Q. Common cold but dreadful. I am suffering from a dreadful common cold. As I write: believe me, I long to have done with it. I am not enjoying it in the least. I fear however that I am already too old to see the day when the common cold becomes history. I tried the simple first aid tablets but no use. Could you use this session to help me out?
