It is because the body burns fat instead of glycogen for energy. sm

Without carbs, there is no insulin spike to store fat as fat in the body, so it goes through it or is burned as energy. The body preferentially burns fat stores since there is no glycogen to burn because there is no consumption of carbs.

What burns me up is......
when I used to stand in line to buy diapers and formula and baby food for our 2 little ones, back when we didn't make nearly as much as we do now, and seeing a woman in front of me with a cell phone on her hip, beautiful manicured nails, and a nicer outfit that I was wearing standing there buying food with WIC coupons and food stamps. There's something wrong with MANY of the "pictures" out there. There are those who work and pay for their responsibilities, and then there are those who expect others to do it for them.
This burns me up.
MTs who grab work off the weekend work load even though they are scheduled Monday through Friday. You see, I am scheduled to work the weekend and MUST sit here for 8 or more hours a day (4 hr turn around for radiology). When this person comes in a grabs up my work, I end up sitting idle so he can have additional income.
This is the most thoughtless thing I can imagine in the work force when production is how our pay is based. An MT who would do this should be reprimanded by management yet for some reason, he is not. He signs on and off at will though his schedule is a 40 hour week.
Moral suffers management when this occurs. We other MTs who DO follow our schedule have no choice but to go into other people's schedules to grab some of THEIR work. Then, we end up working 10 hour shifts which means we have to work off the clock (breaking another rule).
Why not insist everyone work their schedule and follow the rules.
I have already let my supervisor know. I do not know why they think this MT is so special that this can be overlooked. I am not going to sit here with knots in my stomach every Sunday for the next five years because this particular MT thinks his family's income is more important than my family's income.
Thanks for the space to vent this. And if you area reading this, greedy MT, know that I will eventually be popping up on your shift and then it will be a free for all. The only other choice is to lower my cost of living on your behalf and I just do NOT see that happening.
You might try Silvadene for those burns. :)

It is her body, but now there is ANOTHER body inside of her. sm
Right now I counsel pregnant teens as I had 2 myself and regret that decision every single day of my life. I've learned over the years that God has forgiven me and that my 2 babies are waiting for me, but the guilt and shame that this decision ultimately brings isn't worth it. Besides, that baby sooo deserves a chance at life, love, and laughter. Don't you agree?
I agree with Ronald Reagan: I am Pro Choice - if the baby has a choice, then I am pro choice.
Noooooo! Don't!!! It burns so badly you will wish it had been where it was before! SM
I had the same thing happen to me. Called my doctor and he said well put it up front, same tissue. YOIKS!! I called him from my seat in a cold-water bath and told him to mark that suggestion out of his book.
Just moved out of a rental. This just burns me up..
We just bought a house and moved out of a renal townhome that is owned by a huge property management company. I always always go the extra mile to make sure I leave a place clean, way more than a lot of people. I spent hours cleaning and we didn't leave a single speck of anything in that house. The carpets were immaculate because we had plastic runns in the high traffic areas, etc. I scrubbed baseboards, window sills, floors, painted over all the scratches and nail holes (same paint), everything. Got our refund yesterday on the deposit and they charged us for ELEVEN HOURS of cleaning. In the description they said that this that and the other thing was VERY dirty, counter tops being one thing. I swear I scoured the counters with cleanser not long before I finished the job. I find it very offensive to have all these things listed as VERY dirty. They're full of you know what. Do you think it's just a racket to ding you for more money? They also charged us 160 dollars to shampoo those perfectly clean carpets. It seems like cleaning that is not beyond the usual amount should be THEIR responsibility as part of the business of renting out their units. They just want to pass on everything including routine maintenence onto their tenants. Just had to vent. 
Got Snakes - GET LIME!!!!! Sprinkle generously! Burns their bellys.

Also this seems to help energy..
I take a good prenatal vitamin, B150 vitamins, calcium, magnesium& zinc, along with some others, but I think these are the most important and help my energy level. GYN doctor put me on prenatal (going through menopause).Important to eat and not get into junk food, quick grab habit...
It is "speed" , of course it gives you energy! nm

I take energy supplements as well
I started taking them to help me lose weight, but I do find that my production increases when I take them. But I end up having a hard time sleeping at night. I also get headaches on the weekends when I don't take them and I'm extremely fatigued without them. If you thought you were tired before you tried the energy drink, wait till you stop it. It'll take about a week to get back to normal. I think the other poster is right - try to get a walk in. You also might want to try shorter shifts - that's what I'm trying now. Work an hour or 2 and take an hour break. It may take longer to get your work in but it's not as mentally exhausting. This job is mentally exhausting. Most people don't realize that.
The days I have energy and no hot flashes.

Seems to help me... Keeps me motivated, energy up... et cetera. NM

I think you'd be wasting your time and energy and
If you're hanging around waiting on work, you're the one deciding to do so.
When you run out of work, go file unemployment if you are working as an employee. Tell them immediately you are filing for unemployment since they are out of work and also looking for another position ... and then go do it.
You can't force companies to provide you with work if they don't have any. I don't think your argument holds any water at all. You're the one sitting around waiting on it.
B150 is a great energy source...
The only place I can find them around here is Wal-Mart.
Yes....except I'd go for steak, that way I'd have plenty of food and energy

P.S. Channel some energy into agility classes
perhaps! Sounds like a great candidate if he/she can jump and get your sunglasses! Lots of classes for agility in most areas, and lots of fun for dog and owner, not to mention exercise! Woof!
Energy drinks. Caffeine and sugar, sm
and all kinds of vitamins. I like the Sobe one. I even drink it in the morning now, instead of coffee.
Staying Focused -Energy Drinks
I am having a huge problem. I cannot seem to find the energy to work all day. This sounds so bad because I sit all day! Seriously though, it feels like I get so bored sitting here at the computer. When I drink some of a Nos energy drink, however, work is so fun, I have tons of energy, and I make a lot of money sitting here. I love this work, but what's the deal? I don't even like consuming caffeine. I got an energy drink the other night to stay up all night and finish some STATs, and now I feel like I can't work without it. It was hard to focus even before I started the caffeine. What is going on here?  Why can't I just get my work done like a normal person?
I take MetaboLife, ephedra free. Love it, lots of energy. nm

My favorite gifts over the years were the homemade ones - congrats for having the energy
I agree, too. I'm just so tired of it all, don't have the energy left to argue with 'em any

I don't know why any body would
...or financial advice and listing the amounts of their debts and other very personal issues. Each time I read such posts, I am amazed and shocked that people would do this.

saw it in Philly; awesome!
No body issue
Yep, it has been done, next state over, young girl named Carrie Culbertson, missing now for close to 6 yrs?

There are still body stresses.
Physically, the stresses are still the same, the sitting, and while you do not have all the heavy keyboarding, you still have neck, arm, leg swelling, back hurting, and all the little things that just go naturally with sitting at a computer all day. Your tendinitis should improve, however!
put nm (no message) in the body

all preached out already ms, busy body MT?
NOT!
executive body scan???
Could this be correct? Outcoming being discovery of gallstones.
Even the ones with the body for it should show a little modesty.

Stop and think MTBusy-body
A professional company, well organized, will have the specs on the accounts UP FRONT, on file, before you start the account. Did you not stop to think about that? If you are going to come down on the girl, come down on the company, where the problem begins. A well organized company has the specs on file, gives the preferences of the particular client and does not waste time sending preferences piecemeal. Geesh, did you not think of that?
start with the inside of your body
and drink a lot of water. The rule of thumb is 6 oz per pound of body weight.
Exactly- my brother is an ex body builder
and certainly very masculine, but he gets a pedicure every month - his wife is all for it (you know how those hooves can get, guys! LOL), whitens his teeth, highlights his hair, and shaves his entire body (left over behavior from body building days, no doubt).
Is anyone out there that is heavy truly comfortable with their body? sm
I have had a struggle with weight my entire life. As we speak now I am on Weight Watchers. I don't want to be model thin because I know that is never happening and some people aren't made to be that way. I am tall, an inch from being 6'. Before when I look at pictures I am thinking "Hey, I was not so bad. I DID carry my weight well." But during those times I thought I was horrible. Now, just topped the scale to 300 and I am scared to death! In the past year, since working from home and being depressed, I have put on an easily 50 lbs. I weigh more than I weighed with being 9 months pregnant with my son.
Anyway, I know for my health I need to get my weight down. But the question is - if you are heavy, how do you feel good about yourself and your body, enough to let that stress go so you can focus on other things in life? This consumes my every thought. Sometimes I think I need to see a psychiatrist to get this matter resolved.
I pray daily and ask God to help. I feel if I can learn to have a better self image of myself that I CAN conquer this goal and lose the weight.
Tips please....I don't look at other heavy women as ugly and fat. A lot of people I couldn't imagine being thin, yet they look great! I just wish I could picture myself that way.
BTW - in the almost 6 years my husband and I have been married, he has NEVER seen my naked, even when I wasn't so heavy. It is always "give me the covers, turn out the lights" and never intimate without clothes on. I want real intimacy. I want to feel good about myself. How do I achieve this while in the process of losing weight?
Selling body parts in the US sm
There was a brief mention of a recent arrest (I believe it was in New York) of a phony business set-up involving funeral homes, etc., selling bone grafts, etc. from dead bodies (one was supposedly Allistair Cook's body of the PBS fame) and replacing these parts with PVC piping in some cases. These people made "millions" and the patients/families had to be notified. One man was practically crying because he had been told he has to be tested every 6 mos. for HIV, hepatitis, etc., since he had a recent surgery on his neck. They said it may not present itself for years in some cases. They showed some gentlemen being led away in handcuffs but the story was cut short. Anyone else know about this travesty and why so little else has been said about it or is there any web site, etc., that explains it in more detail? Would like to know morel I am very concerned for the recipients as well as the unbeknownst-to-them "donor" families. 
Couldnt they just run a magnet up his body

No busy-body MT, just somebody who has your and dano's number.
And kill one of your screen names. You have been outed.
Don't be so quick to judge others by yourself busy-body MT!
No joke.
PS: Where do you get the TIME IN your busy schedule to prepare essays and lectures to MTs what with your "busy" MTing and getting degrees etc? How's dano? She seemed to back you up with essays also. Same hahaha. Worn out?
jokes on you busy-body MT. hahaha.
really can we get someone to look into busy MT's background before she receives one more report to transcribe regarding her unfortunate habit of psychopathic lying and associated protesting too much on MT boards? Who knows what lurks IN this deviant mind?
I also love to get nice body lotion
or bubble bath or great smelling candles are always good.
4 words; bath and body works

I takes at least 1 week for the anesthesia to get out of your body. sm
It will take another 3-4 weeks to get your energy back and at least a full 6 months to 1 year to feel back to normal, whatever normal means?.
I has been 11 months for me now, and I am still tired more often than not.
I was up and moving around and taking long walks after the 2 week though. Back to work in 2-3 weeks. I had abdominal hysterectomy, so it may depend on whether you had abdominal or laparoscopic.
They say, lap-hys is better on the body and you are back to normal faster.
Hope this helps.
Head tired, body anxious
Anybody else have symptoms where your head is tired, but your body is anxious? At night it is the opposite, my head keeps running, but my body is tired. I find it hard to focus on work, but if I take anything to help me concentrate, i.e., Adderrall, then I feel all my muscles tense up and my heart beat faster. Its driving me nuts. Anybody else have this problem and have a remedy? Thanks!
Any body know of a family practice hiring PT..
I am currently working full time doing hospital work but things are slow all around for everybody. I was hoping to find a small acct to supplement on a perm. basis. Any help would be appreciated. I am new to this board so I hope it was okay to ask here.
i wouldn't dare disfigure my body that way.
happy valentine's day to you too, though!!!!
Every person's body is different and heals at a different rate.
You could be back in 5 days or 30 days. It depends on how your body handles it.
I was back in 4 days after my first C-Section - I was out of bed the same night of surgery, walking around the halls, and home in 2 days. The woman next to me was in bed for 2 days moaning and complaining the whole time.
So, as you can see, everyone is different. Good luck to you.
It is her body...however, the life insider her does not belong to her!
God blessed her with this child and now she needs to find out why. If she is not ready for this then thats her decision but there are other options out there. Abortion is unexceptable birth control. Maybe by taking your niece to an alternative to abortion pregnancy center (family.org has an abundance of info) they can give her all the information she needs to make the best decision not a blind decision. I will pray for your situation. Please keep us posted!
