What I already know (Revised)

These are the questions that I already have written up for my isearch. I really don't know any definite answers to any one of them. I have vague ideas based on what I think I already know, but nothing is factual. I think that's goes along with why I believe this choice of topic was best for me, I have never really taken  the time to do any real research.

This is my basic first reactions to each question:

• What steps should I take to lose weight?

 1.) Diet and excersise.

• What are the different options for weight loss?
• What are the pros and cons of the major options?
• What surgical options are out there for weight loss and how safe are they?

4.) Lap band, Liposuction, gastric bypass, ?

• Can changes in my diet do the job?

 5.) Maybe? Probably but not quick enough

• What about clean eating, vegetarian or cutting out all sugary foods?

 6.) I know nothing about this except my husbands friend lives off of shakes and green mush!

• What type of exercise is best and how much should I do?
• Are at home programs like p90x and turbofire more effective than working out at the gym

 8.) I would like to think so but are much more intense. Maybe harmful for people not in the best shape ?

• Is it better to work out at home or at a gym? 

 9.) I am thinking it depends on personality.

• Are there any prescription medicines for weight loss?
• What about over the counter weight loss pills or supplements?

 11.) I know I see plenty of ads for these things, but have no clue if they really work or the safety of them.

• There are so many diet's, how do I know which one is right for me?

12.) I don't know but this is my favorite question because I would really like to know.
