Instagram fitness sensation Courtney Black has come up with four easy ways to get rid of those extra kilos in just a couple of weeks.

Posting photos of her scantily-clad figure to inspire her 167,000 followers, the 20-year-old UK-based gym fanatic managed to lose a significant amount of weight in under two weeks.

Black revealed that she felt ready to buckle down after she binged on a trip to New York, eating more than 7,500 calories a day. When I returned home, I felt awful and bloated. The extra weight I put on made me feel lousy and slow, she told the Daily Express.

After deciding that she wanted to get back to her pre-holiday body, Courtney underwent a simple regime that didnt involve any fad detoxes. I absolutely hate hearing about juice cleanses or shake diets in order to lose weight, she said. In my opinion, they should be banned.

Heres exactly what she did and recommends instead:

Courtney believes that most of the weight you gain in a short period of time is actually water retention. This can easily happen if youre not drinking enough fluids, eating food thats high in salt and sugar, and not doing much in the way of exercise.

Regular sauna sessions will help sweat out a lot of this excess water, leaving you with a much less bloated look (and feel).

Work out your maintenance calories

Following the same diet as everyone else wont do you much good. You need to work out the precise number of calories your body needs so that you can start losing weight.

For women, this can be between 1,400 and 2,000 calories a day depending on your height, weight, and how often you exercise. This number is whats known as your maintenance figure.

To shed weight, you need to eat below your maintenance figure. Important rule: Never go more than 500 calories below it. (A simple online calculator or trained professional can help you work out your maintenance figure.)

Reduce your workout resting periods

Going to the gym is (unfortunately) a required step. But to see weight loss quickly, you need to increase the intensity of your workouts.

Theres an incredibly easy way of doing this, according to Courtney: Simply shorten your rest time between exercises or try to cut them out altogether.

Add in a cheat meal

Obviously, youll need to stock up on all the healthy food you can get but dont forget to buy a cheat meal every week as well.

These little treats are important for your weight-loss regime as they help boost metabolism and encourage your body to burn calories much more quickly not to mention keep you happy. Still, unlike a lot of other diet plans, Courtneys plan doesnt recommend you have an entire cheat day, as this can knock you off course.

Fitness blogger reveals how to lose weight in just two weeks - Yahoo7 Be

By Jacob Claspille | April 19th, 2017

For many athletes, running is seen as a form of punishment. For track and cross country runners, it is a passion but a passion that can quickly lead to physical harm, including eating disorders.

For junior cross country and track runner Holly Goergen, this was all too familiar.

According to an NCAA study, an estimated 25 percent of female collegiate athletes and 20 percent of male athletes suffer from some sort of eating disorder.

Goergen got into running after searching for something to fill a void. Coming from a family of runners, in which both parents ran, she decided to give it a shot.

I really just started running because I was looking for something that would make me happy and my parents always talked about running in high school and in college and how it made them so happy and I was like, well, maybe that will also be something Ill enjoy, Goergen said. So I took it up and I actually really did enjoy it and Ive been doing it ever since.

Issues began to arise for Goergen in high school. Goergen said her drive to get better lead to continued thoughts about losing weight to get faster. She said she would start to eat less while continuing to run more and more.

Eating Disorder Hope (www.eatingdisorderhope.com) categorized this as orthorexia, or excessive exercise. Jacquelyn Ekern, President and founder of Eating Disorder Hope, said they are an organization that offers education, support and inspiration to eating disorder sufferers, their loved ones and eating disorders treatment providers.

It became apparent to Goergen that something was wrong after fainting twice at one of her high school practices. Afterwards, she started to seek help from doctors, which she said helped her get through that time period.

I would restrict a lot of foods I was eating, what types of food I could eat because I was trying to lose weight and then I would run more to make up for whatever I had eaten that day, Goergen said. It turned into a vicious cycle where I was hardly eating and running a lot which isnt sustainable for life.

In high school, a bad day for Goergen would be to wake upand go for a run before school, skip lunch, go to practice after school and go home and have her first and only meal of the day be family dinner.

By the time Goergen came to Webster, she found ways to handle her eating habits. It wasnt until her sophomore year where she started to struggle again. Goergens boyfriend and teammate, Austin Dudley, was the one to point out there was something wrong.

I started to notice that, sometimes, she wouldnt eat enough. With the mileage she was running, it was more than anybody at this school so I was like, you need a little more food to energize through the runs, Dudley said.

Dudley is familiar with people struggling with eating disorders. He said he had a friend in high school who played soccer that would not eat because she believed she was overweight.

Dudley himself also struggled with these issues at one point. He said he thought he was not good enough to run so he had to lose weight to get faster.

The desire to have a low body weight in long distance running is very common in the sport. Part of this stems from coaches around collegiate programs.

An article written by Ron Thompson for NCAA.org said, Coaches have considerable influence with their athletes, and it appears that their relationship with their student-athletes and more specifically their motivational climate can influence the risk of disordered eating. A relationship between coach and athlete characterized by high conflict and low support has been associated with increased eating pathology among athletes.

Ekern said that the NCAA and their coaches have improved with their coaching styles in dealing with eating disorders, but the problem still is not solved.

Coaches have come a long way in recognizing that they need to be sensitive about weight and body image with athletes, Ekern said. However, I have had clients in my practice, who were runners in high school, that reported excessive praise from their coaches when they lost weight, even when they were underweight, at a very low BMI and no longer menstruating.

Goergen said that she has not experienced these issues with coaches here at Webster.

Ive never had any problems with a coach encouraging me to lose weight or a coach saying what I should be eating. I think Ive been really lucky in that respect because theres a lot of college programs where the coaches encourage their athletes to be thin, Goergen said.

Dudley said the coaches at Webster do not believe there should be a diet plan. The only focus from the coaches is to make sure the runners are eating healthy. Dudley does not see a benefit to a diet program because it says that coaches have a problem with how you eat.

According to the British Journal of Sports Medicine, male and female student-athletes who are inadequately fueling their bodies may experience hormonal disruptions that lead to compromised bone density and increased risk of bone injuries, including stress fractures.

Goergen struggled with injury around the same time her struggles began to come back during her time at Webster. She ended up being diagnosed with double patellar tendonitis.

With a steady diet and a balanced training regimen, Goergen, a biological science major with an emphasis in medicine, has seen her ability to focus in school has improved. She said she has not had to put as much effort into thinking anymore.

Struggling in the classroom is considered one of the signs that a student-athlete could be struggling with their diet. Ekern said the athletes mentality could actually hide the fact they are struggling.

Being under nourished can lead to lack of clear thinking, poor concentration and failing grades, Ekern said.

Today, Goergen has set goals to win conference for the 5K and 10K and break the school record for the 10K. Goergen is a three-time all-conference runner and if she is named to the all-conference her senior year, it will be the first time in Webster history a female runner is named to four consecutive all-conference teams.

For anyone that Goergen sees struggling like she did, she encourages them to be open and talk to someone about it so they can get help.

I encourage people to get help, talk to a professional and just be very open about it because if one of your friends know that you have trouble with it and they start to notice that youre picking up bad patterns, they can say something to you, hopefully, so you dont start to fall back into bad habits.

Webster runner overcomes battle with eating disorder - Webster Journal

SWINDON-based personal trainer and fitness writer RONNY TERRY returns to the Advertiser in his occasional online blog

YOU'VE been plugging away at this weight loss malarkey for a while now, and despite emptying your cupboards of junk and searching for the latest quick fixes online, the scales are showing about as much movement as the Magic Roundabout during Fridays rush hour.

It was never meant to be this way

With anyone and everyone banging on about how much weight theyve lost and how quickly they did it, youd think it wed have it all wrapped up by now.

But as it stands, losing weight is still an incredibly tricky and often lonely process accompanied by occasional highs and depressingly frequent lows.

But amidst all this confusion and noise there are three obvious, but often overlooked, reasons you may be failing to lose weight. If you can get to grips with these basics, you can fix up your fat loss and drop some serious poundage in no time.

Not enough NEAT

Non-exercise activity thermogenesis is a big science term for the energy you burn doing anything and everything that isnt planned exercise, eating or sleeping. The walk to work, your job - even the amount you fidget - all counts towards your NEAT.

Estimates suggest very active people can burn up to 50% of their daily calories from their NEAT compared to sedentary (posh for lazy) individuals with as little as a 15% contribution.

Lets take two people, identical in every way, but one drives a car to work, sits down all day and then comes home and watches tv, and the other walks to work, walks around at work and then walks home.

If they are both trying to lose weight, person one is going to have to cut their calories by much more than person two.

In fact, person one could go to the gym four times a week and still struggle to burn the same amount of energy as person two does through their NEAT alone.

Its not rocket science, but we all know someone that says they have a slow metabolism' and usually these are the people that move the least.

The easiest way to increase your NEAT is to move more. You can do this any way you like dancing, skipping, wheelbarrow race but the simplest way is by walking.

A good place to start is 10,000 steps a day.

Most smartphones have built-in apps to track your daily steps, so its easier than ever to keep an eye on your NEAT.

In fact, your phone has most likely been tracking yours without you knowing have a look and see; I dare you.

You have no idea how much you are eating

If we all agree that we lose weight when we burn more energy than we consume through food and drink then knowing how many calories you are getting through each day would seem a logical place to start if you want to lose weight.

Cutting down on junk food or reducing your booze intake may be enough to get things moving, but if youve been struggling to lose or maintain your weight for a while, diligently logging whats passing your lips will take out the guess-work and speed up your progress.

There are loads of free apps out there, such as myfitnesspal, that make calorie tracking a doddle. OK, you may have to faff about a little to start with, but see these apps like Facebooks for your body fat its time work out who you friends are and who you need to block to get ahead.

And as well as knowing the calorie content, tracking your food will make you more aware of other areas of nutrition that could affect your health, such as saturated fat or salt levels.

Oh, and I bet you cant guess the calories in a Costa hot chocolate its criminal.

Youre inconsistent

You cant buy your wife flowers from the petrol station on Valentine's Day and show her no affection for the other 364 days if you want a blissful marriage.

In the same respect, making an effort with your diet one week and then not bothering the next will do nothing for your waistline and leave you tired, frustrated and desperate for another quick-fix.

Any diet that puts you in a calorie deficit will work if you are motivated to stick to it through thick and thin, smiling through the good times and accepting a little wobble and a few tears along the way.

Im not saying all diets are equal, but jumping from one to the next in the hope of finding the missing link every time a little effort is required or when things have slowed down wont set you up for success.

Summing up

Moving more, monitoring your food intake and being consistent youve heard all of this before right?

But maybe thats the problem.

Perhaps, with all the information flying around about losing weight, youve missed the wood for the trees. Youve spent too much time worrying about if you should be cutting out bread or alcohol when you could have been looking at the bigger picture: calories, being active and taking action.

Its never too late to get to grips with your weight, and by starting out with the basics, you can easily create a strong platform for long-term results.

Its not unusual for weight to fluctuate over time. But health officials say the clinical loss and gain of more substantial amounts of weight in a dieting pattern could play a negative role in ones health in the future.

According to Brittney Zack, a clinical dietician at the Uniontown Hospital, the fluctuation is called yo-yo dieting, which resembles the up-and-down motion of a yo-yo.

This fluctuation process typically begins when a person has a desire to lose weight very quickly and thus engages in extreme calorie deprivation, she wrote. Although these results can and will occur, a body is essentially starving in the process, which means that intended fat and unintended lean muscle mass stores can be broken down and lost.

The very act of weight loss especially the loss of muscle that accompanies all weight loss triggers the body to fight back by increasing hunger, slowing metabolism and encouraging fat storage.

That calorie level decrease could lead to bad news when an individual allows him-/herself to satisfy a craving, and ends up regaining the weight little by little.

Michele Pfarr, a clinical nutrition manager at Monongahela Valley Hospital, said another factor that could lead to yo-yo dieting is the failure to address core problems.

If theyre not addressed, you fall back into a pattern, Pfarr said, noting that common issues are eating when youre emotional, bored or tired. Poor eating habits from earlier years could also be the culprit, she said.

They tend to come to the forefront, she noted. Yo-yo dieting is also not a phenomenon that occurs over one given amount of time it instead could be years or months, depending on the individual.

Zack added that the human body will rebound with a starvation response that can result in a quick regain or weight, primarily in the form of fat stores.

Doing this repeatedly over time, or cycling (yo-yo dieting), can affect a bodys overall fat-to-muscle ratio, which ultimately dictates how well the metabolism functions and how easily weight can be maintained in the future, Zack added.

Research has indicated that yo-yo dieting in people who have BMIs at high or below the normal range appears to increase risk of Type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.

Pfarr, however, noted that studies are pretty divided with a true correlation of yo-yo dieting and health risks.

You may go through this pattern many times, and its regained as fat tissue instead of lean muscle like we desire, Pfarr said. There are increased risks of health disease, but it can vary in terms of the original weight status.

Solutions

Quick and easy weight-loss solutions with lifelong results simply dont exist, according to Zack.

One must be dedicated and committed to learning the process of nutritious, mindful eating and pair it with regular exercise, Zack wrote. Once these are learned and comfortable, they become part of a healthy lifestyle, not just an Im on a diet.

Everything in moderation begins to be understood, she added.

Overall, its about making a lifestyle change.

Pfarr said its crucial to be able to implement and maintain good, healthy lifestyle patterns.

Even if its just one new change, Pfarr said. Once youre comfortable, move on to the next one.

She suggested increasing exercise, even if its just through walking or general activity.

Reduced fat in a diet while increasing fruits and vegetables is also a good way to manage calories, she said.

As you start to adopt changes, your overall lifestyle will change and youll be able to maintain your weight, Pfarr said.

Dangers of yo-yo dieting addressed - Uniontown Herald Standard

BURLINGTON, VT--(Marketwired - April 17, 2017) - Despite the abundance of weight loss programs and dietary aids available in the market, finding a reliable weight loss solution can be challenging. Creating a diet plan involves not only identifying harmful dietary habits and avoiding certain types of foods but also establishing a regularly active lifestyle. Emotional eating and inactive lifestyles make weight loss even more challenging. Therefore, even dieters who achieve weight loss success may not maintain low weight as the rate of long-term weight loss retention for 5 years or more is as low as 5%. Creating customized diets based on personal dietary needs and weight loss goals is more crucial than ever.

One of the most popular diets that individuals have been able to maintain in the long-term is the Paleo Diet. The Paleo Diet offers a moderate way to reduce excess body fat and lead a healthier lifestyle without aggressively limiting calories or changing lifestyle factors. Generally, it involves consuming foods that were supposedly eaten by early humans and recommends a strict diet of:

The Paleo Diet has has been praised for its health benefits and relative flexibility but recent studies have shown that the Paleo Diet may not have been as protein-heavy as initially thought. New archaeological findings indicate that early humans largely relied on plant-based foods with animal protein-based supplements when available. The popular version of the Paleo Diet available in the market has been associated with negative effects caused by extremely high levels of saturated fat and protein and low amounts of Vitamin D and calcium. Ancient diets seem to have been more balanced and experimental in terms of plant-based foods, as early humans often explored and adjusted to new environments.

At Diet Doc, a nationally recognized weight loss center, all patients receive weight loss and diet consulting, regardless of their dietary needs or personal weight loss history. With a safe, doctor-supervised diet plan and guidance for life, Diet Doc patients gain the following benefits within the very first month:

Diet Doc programs offer a doctor-supervised diet plan and guidance for life. For patients who struggle with portion control or emotional eating, Diet Doc offers solutions like Metwell, which helps balance metabolism and reduce appetite without harmful side effects. Medical weight loss solutions, even in combination with popular diets like the Paleo Diet, have been shown to be effective when doctor-supervised and customized to an individual's dietary needs, according to Diet Doc's resident medical expert Dr. Rao.

With a team of doctors, nurses, nutritionists and motivational coaches, Diet Doc products help individuals lose weight fast and keep it off. Patients can get started immediately, with materials shipped directly to their home or office. They can also maintain weight loss in the long-term through weekly consultations, customized diet plans, motivational coaches and a powerful prescription program.

Diet Doc Patients Achieve Long-Term Weight Loss Success With Individually Customized 'Paleo Diet' - Marketwired (press release)

Over six years, Diana Arvie has lost more than 150 pounds and she's kept it off.

The 52-year-old Baton Rouge grandmother shed the weight without surgery or spending a fortune on a diet plan.

She did something much more difficult. She changed her mind.

"It has to be a mindset," Arvie says. "You can't do it without changing the way you think. There are some mornings I don't want to do it. You still need to do it."

Arvie is living the tough advice that doctors regularly give patients: You have to change your lifestyle. There are no gimmicks or shortcuts to maintaining a healthy weight.

At her heaviest, Arvie weighed 330 pounds.

When her mother's health began deteriorating, Arvie brought her to her home to care for her full time.

"I was just eating, eating, eating," she says. "It looked like somebody blew me up."

After her mother died, Arvie began walking around her neighborhood and quickly lost weight. She dropped about 100 pounds, but the weight slowly crept back up because she didn't change her eating habits.

In 2009, Arvie was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent surgery to remove a tumor. After 36 rounds of radiation, she says, the doctors pronounced her cancer-free. They also gave her advice: Regular exercise and eating a nutritious diet may help keep the cancer from returning.

The warning didn't sink in, Arvie says, and her weight led to new health problems. Her leg and back ached, and she took medicine to treat those pains. Because of sleep apnea, she never received enough rest and would fall asleep while driving.

After two years of escalating medical problems, she committed to change. She began walking again.

Then she started going to the gym, watching what the trainers taught other clients and then mimicking the workouts. Now she hits a local Planet Fitness for two hours every morning.

The weight came off slowly as Arvie changed her diet. She cut out bread and other carbohydrates and focused on eating nuts, yogurt, fruits and vegetables. Eventually she stopped eating meat, choosing to get protein through eggs and other sources.

Although this diet works for her, she understands others will find success with different eating habits.

"People are going to do this the way they want," she says. "They can eat meat, the baked chicken and fish and things. I prefer not to because I do better without meat."

Arvie's still losing weight slowly. She now wears a size 8, down from a 24 or 26 at her largest.

"She looks amazing," says Zetta Nganga,Arvie's longtime friend who has been touting Arvie's success to anyone who will listen.

Arvie's most important tip to others wanting to keep weight off is to stay focused and be consistent.

"You have to be persistent," she says. "Even when you meet your goal, you still have to continue. It's a journey for life."

Today, Arvie doesn't take any medications, just a vitamin every morning.

Every weekday, she keeps her four grandchildren, caring for a 2- and a 3-year-old and two others who are in elementary school. Before losing weight, she couldn't chase after them without getting short of breath.

Arvie says she is proud of her new life and hopes to inspire others.

"People give up too easy, and some are not willing to try," Arvie says. "You have to be willing to fight for what you want."

How to lose 150 pounds, keep it off: 'You can't do it without changing the way you think' - The Advocate

Why is it you can work your arse off for weeks on end to shed some weight - watching what you eat and spending every other evening in the gym - yet you have one relaxed weekend where you DGAF, eat all the cheesy carbs, and hey presto: all the weight comes back again?

It's a baffling concept: surely, in the interests of fairness, weight should be just as hard to gain as it is to lose? But then we know lots of things in life aren't fair, and that's just the way it is. Still, our ever-curious minds want some insight into why it's the way it is, so we were interested to read News.com.au's chat with nutrition scientist, Dr Tim Crowe, where he shed some light.

One reason we put on weight so easily is because of the hunger we're exposing ourselves to while we're dieting. "The influence of hunger on weight regain is three-times stronger than a slowing of metabolism. Add the two together it appears almost inevitable that the lost weight will creep back on again for most people," explained Dr Crowe.

Basically, after dieting we tend to overcompensate for the hunger we've endured by eating more, hence the weight gain. It's therefore advisable to avoid 'starving' yourself when on a weight loss plan; eat as much as you need to feel satisfied, and make sure you're eating the right things to provide adequate nutrition.

Mindset has a lot to do with it, too. If we see a weight-loss plan as something we're either 'on' or 'off', the second it's over our first reaction is to binge and eat anything that's 'off-plan' - so it's not surprising that we tend to gain weight pretty quickly.

That 'off-plan' food becomes all the more desirable because we've restricted ourselves from being allowed to have it, which in turn lowers our willpower when making decisions about what we should eat following a strict diet.

So the best way to combat quick weight gain after a diet, it seems? It's all in the plan you craft to lose weight in the first place. Don't restrict yourself too much, leaving yourself starving hungry and ready to devour just about anything in your path. If you teach yourself to have a healthier outlook in general, it'll soon become a way of life and therefore will be much easier to maintain the body you've worked so hard to achieve.

This is why you gain weight so much faster than you lose it - Cosmopolitan.com

Many of us dream to lose weight, but sometimes it happens that a person needs to gain weight. Do you know how to gain weight quickly? See the best weight gain diet and high calorie foods for weight gain.

Today, when many of us are concerned about the issue of weight loss, there are people who have difficulties with gaining weight. Usually the issue of weight gain is a subject of interest of skinny guys and girls.

How to gain weight fast?

Meanwhile, it is not so difficult to follow weight gain diet, it depends on how many extra kilos you need.

First of all, those who want to gain weight at home, need to calculate their body mass index, just to make sure that your weight is not up to the adopted standards. Calculating body mass index is very easy by the following formula: body weight (kg) / height (m). That is your weight in kilograms divided by your height in square meters. For example, your body weight is 50 kg and height is 160 cm, this way: 50 / (1,60) = 19,53. Once you have calculated the body mass index, compare the obtained result with the data in the table below.

You need to draw your attention to the fact that BMI which accounts to 18 is the bottom limit of the "norm" when your body does not have problems connected with underweight. Normal weight is when BMI is 19,5.

What prevents you from gaining weight?

The most important thing when eating for weight gain is the consumption of at least 40 calories per 1 kg of your weight. For those people who can hardly increase their weight, you should increase the number of calories in your diet up to 50-60 calories per 1 kilo.

Now let us examine a simple illustration that will help to calculate how many calories you need to eat per day. For example, if your weight is 60 kg, then the total number of calories per day should be (60 kg x 40 calories = 2400). This is the minimum number of calories you should consume per day to gain weight.

How to add weight fast?

Try to include nutritious food in your diet, which is also important for health, because your diet should consist of healthy food. In order to add 1-2 kg per week, you must pay close attention to your diet and not to skip meals.

Top 3 high calorie foods for weight gain

Tips for men

Now more than a half of male population wants to gain muscle mass, especially teenagers. To achieve the desired results, you need to follow 3 simple rules.
