Not really harmful.But the oxygen in the body is used up to burn the food u eat, thus u might feel a little drowsy due to less oxygen, n u might drown(yeah a little far fetched but u might-little kids n all),n u just might need a lifeguard, so u just might consider NOT eating b4 swimming....

a protein drink, a piece of fruit, yogurt, piece of cheese. I do a protein drink or a piece of cheese and feel better. Also keep well hydrated with water before during and after exercise

If I were you I'd just do the lime and warm water and skip the honey. Limes or lemons in warm water 20 minutes prior to eating is great for your digestive system and is supposed to assist in increasing your metabolism. \n\nHoney is very high in calories as well as carbs. 1 tablespoon is like 1/4 of your daily intake so I stay away cause I like to enjoy my carbs in other methods. \n\nIf you want to have a healthy eating plan I have given you one. But if you do this it's life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. You can do a circuit class but this counts as one weights session. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, boxing and spin. If your classes are less than 1 hour top it up with cardio before and after classes. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

The night before your exam try to eat pasta, and if you like sea food then eat some fish as well! The day of the exam, try to eat lots of fruit to help keep you hydrated.. and I agree that oatmeal is great to eat as well!

excercise, 30 min 3 times a week, swimming would be good, you don't really have to much weight to carry in the water, so it might be easier to take the step to exercice. walking is easy and cheap. and regular food, you can eat all but with normal messures.Most important thing you can do is to support him all the way, the first pounds go easy, its the rest and also a commitment to stay healthy and in the shape you feel healthy. Good Luck, don't forget to support.

Don't do anything your cardiologist doesn't say you can, assuming he's any good he should have some advice.  Swimming is excellent low impact exercise, why don't you ask him if you could do that?  The GI diet is pretty sound.  Just eat the minimum of foods that contain a lot of sugar or refined carbohydarates (that means basically anything with white flour in like pasta and bread)

Everyone's talked about eating and that's all true - increased likelihood of throwing up, cramps, etc. But you asked about drinking beer as well.\n\nIt's not a good idea to drink alcohol before swimming (especially in rivers, lakes, oceans, etc.) because:\n\n- alcohol increases blood circulation to the skin and extremities. Result: you get colder quicker (and water takes away body heat 20x faster than air at the same temperature does)\n- being cold slows down your thinking. If you're also muzzed with alcohol, that makes it much easier to get into a dangerous situation ('cos you're less likely to see it coming)\n- alcohol slows down your thinking, so a bad situation is more likely to get worse than better\n- you're significantly more likely to drown, or get someone else into trouble when they try and rescue your sorry butt\n- a very high percentage of drowning deaths are the direct result of drinking before going swimming.\n\nSo, don't do it!

You could. Swimming burns a lot of calories as compared to other exercises. As long as the number of calories you burn is more than the number you consume, you will lose weight. So swimming is a good start. Good exercise and eating right will help with losing weight.

it's not a good idea to exercise on empty stomach.i would advise that you take a light meal 3-4 hours before a track meet.drinking carbonated drinks before you exercise will only give you a feeling of energy as the sugar it in will fuel you.a light sandwich is ok tho' but try to avoid heavy meals just before you run as it might make you nauseated.

u should eat something light, not too much of it, but it should have alot of protein, u should be drinking more fluids b4 the game, and especially during and after, water of course is best, but sport drinks are great also gatorade/powerade etc..

Before you swim, make sure you get your hair wet with unchlorinated water, as your hair is less likey to soak up chlorine when it's already saturated with something else. After you swim, wash your hair with a swimmer's shampoo that gets chlorine out of the hair. You can find a product like that at a Walgreens.

Eat foods high in carbohydrates before the game.  When I played baseball in high school, we'd have pasta before home games and take a box of saltine crackers on the bus to away games.  Also drink plenty of energy drinks (gatorade, powerade, etc) and water.

Swimming may be a good choice also ,eating two or three meals a day.avoiding food for at least three hours before bedtime , taking short baths or showers as needed, with warm or cool water, spending as much time as possible in natural outdoor settings and walking at least 30 minutes daily, doing such aerobic or stretching exercises as yoga, dance, or martial arts on a regular basis

no, maybe a little snack an hour or so before working out. Eating right before a workout is not good because your body won't be as quick, or strong due to the digestion process happening.
