The New Science Of Weight Loss - Men's Health

BURLINGTON, VT--(Marketwired - March 14, 2017) - With nearly 40% of the population obese, there is no shortage of fad diets and weight loss supplements in the U.S. Around 45 million Americans participate in dieting and spend $33 billion on weight loss products every year. With excessive weight gain leading to serious issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, and heart disease, diet regulation is crucial. Unfortunately, many weight loss programs encourage a starvation diet, which involves suddenly and drastically reducing the number of calories consumed. Following such an extreme diet, particularly without consulting a medical professional, can be extremely dangerous and lead to long- and short-term health issues like headaches, fatigue, muscle loss, malnutrition, and so on.

While many diets in the market are starvation-based and not adequately supported by medical professionals, other diets are more promising. One such diet is the popular Paleo Diet, which offers a moderate way to reduce excess body fat and lead a healthier lifestyle. Generally, it involves consuming foods that were supposedly eaten by early humans and recommends a strict diet of:

While the Paleo Diet has been praised for its health benefits, the popular version of it has been linked to adverse effects due to elevated levels of saturated fat and protein and low amounts of Vitamin D and calcium, a particular concern for those battling osteoporosis. However, the Paleo Diet is extremely flexible and can be used alongside doctor-supervised medical weight loss solutions as well. In some extreme situations, where relatively balanced diets like the Paleo Diet aren't enough to achieve the amount of weight loss desired, alternative solutions may be suggested.

At Diet Doc, a nationally recognized weight loss center, weight loss solutions are well researched and customized to a patient's nutritional needs. Diet Doc has a long history of opposing starvation-based diets like the original hCG diet (which limited daily consumption to 500 calories) and educating patients about 800-1250 calorie methods that promote regular weight loss without endangering health.

Diet Doc offers weight loss and diet consulting to all patients, regardless of their dietary needs or 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 Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), a powerful appetite suppressant that increases dopamine levels to improve mood, reduce inflammation, and balance brain chemistry to break the cycle of craving carbs and sugar. Medical weight loss solutions like LDN, 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 Reveals Limitations Of The Popular Paleo Diet And Offers Alternatives To Original hCG Diet - Marketwired (press release)

Sport360 has come up with a simple three-step plan that you can follow and help improve your fitness goals.

Weve tried to keep things as basic as possible so you can incorporate the following key points into your daily lives.

Share with us your thoughts by commenting below, using#360fans on Twitteror getting in touchvia Facebook.

Heres our three top tips:

CUT BACK ON SUGAR

This is by far and away the most important food group to try and reduce.

Sugar is obviously high in calories and increases sugar in your blood.

Therefore, cutting out chocolates, sweets and sugary energy drinks can make a huge difference to your overall weight.

Making a food chart is a good way to keep on top of what youre eating and a good rule of thumb is, if you cut down on snacking in-between meals, your sugar levels will tend to decrease as a result.

In place of sugar, try to stem the flow of hunger with fresh fruit like a banana or apple.

UNDERTAKE CARDIO EXERCISE: WALKING, RUNNING AND GYM WORK

You dont need to turn into a fitness addict overnight but its no secret that regular exercise, whatever the activity, will help you burn up a sweat, increase your heart rate and start feeling more trim.

Exercising, particularly cardio activity, boosts both your cardiovascular and muscle strength.

It will also help lower your blood pressure, and combined with a more balanced diet of carbohydrates, protein and fibre, can quickly make you feel stronger.

DONT EAT TOO LATE

Sometimes, with a busy working week and lots going on, your routine and eating pattern may suffer as a result.

But, if possible, try and avoid eating late.

Consuming food well into the evening, especially after 9pm, gives your body little time to digest it and as a result keeps your body on high alert when it should be winding down to sleep.

Eating late sometimes means blood pressure can rise when you are sleep because food releases more hormones.

Typically, if you dont eat before bed, blood pressure can dip by up to 10 per cent which is of course a good thing.

Three simple ways to lose weight - Sport360

AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwired - March 13, 2017) - As summer approaches, getting the perfect 'summer body' is a priority for many dieters. This is easier said than done, however, as nearly 70% of Americans are obese or overweight, largely due to unhealthy diets and inactive lifestyles. In addition, following a starvation-based diet to achieve a 'summer body' is extremely dangerous. The best option dieters can follow is consulting a doctor or nutritionist to understand their nutritional needs and create a step-by-step plan to achieve their weight loss goals by summer.

According to the National Institutes of Health, a healthy eating plan involves consuming nutrients that benefit the body without exceeding daily calorie intake goals. A healthy eating plan reduces risk for health issues related to excessive weight gain and involves:

A healthy eating plan involves reducing portion sizes and facilitating weight loss through calorie reduction and enhanced physical activity. The general rule is that: if someone exerts more energy than they take in, they will most likely lose weight. So, for instance, if someone wants to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week, they should reduce their daily intake of food by 500 to 750 calories. Counting calories can be very challenging to maintain, however, which is why a customized diet plan can be extremely helpful. To maximize effectiveness and safety, seeks of the 'summer body' should also consult a doctor or certified medical professional before adopting a new diet plan.

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

With a team of doctors, nurses, nutritionists and motivational coaches, Diet Doc products help individuals lose weight fast and keep it off. For patients who struggle with portion control or emotional eating, Diet Doc offers solutions like Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), a powerful appetite suppressant that helps counter food addiction and emotional eating. Medical weight loss solutions like LDN have been shown to be effective when supervised by a health professional and customized to an individual's dietary needs, according to Diet Doc's resident medical expert Dr. Rao. More than 90% of Diet Doc patients lose 20 or more pounds every month and maintain weight loss with an easy-to-follow, doctor-prescribed diet.

With Diet Doc, patients can not only achieve the perfect 'summer body' but also maintain it. 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 Perfect Summer Body With Healthy Eating And Doctor-Supervised Weight Loss - Marketwired (press release)

March 13, 2017 by Ian Chaffee

The 2012 movie Robot & Frank described a "near future" that would allow us to spend our golden years living "co-dependently independently," fulfilled by ever-present robot companions that could watch out for loss of balance and falls, prompt us to do constructive home projects like gardening and even become something like our best friends.

That future might be nearer than we think.

At least that's the vision of USC Professor Maja Matari. After more than a decade and a half of testing and researching the positive effects socially assistive robots can have on vulnerable populations, Matari is looking at how she can help speed this technological march into our living rooms and care facilities.

As the first step in that march, the USC Viterbi School of Engineering vice dean of research and USC Interaction Lab director co-founded the Pasadena company Embodied Inc., which is working on developing and bringing affordable socially assistive robots to market. The first "Embodied robot" for consumers will begin its testing within the year.

"I want to take the robots out of the lab," Matari said. "This is especially important to me because the users I am focusing on have special needs and the sooner we can help them, the better."

Matari's research robots have already motivated and brightened the days of patients in the cardiac ward of Los Angeles County + USC Medical Center, the autism clinic at Children's Hospital Los Angeles and the Alzheimer's care unit at Silverado Senior Living, as well as special education and public elementary schools and Be Group retirement homes.

The personal robot revolution

As Steve Jobs once said that the personal computer was a bicycle for the mind, it may just be socially assistive robots that get us on the stationary bicycle, especially in an age where so much technology demands we stare at a screen.

"Embodiment"the live presence of a robotis the key difference between the assistive technology Matari has developed and the multiple screens that encompass our current machine-assisted lives. Matari's research has shown that even just the presence of humanlike robotsthough not so human as to take us into the "uncanny valley"can be enough to motivate the elderly to exercise in a way they wouldn't with screen prompts, or they can be a conversation piece that allows children with autism to better relate to their peers.

"The social component is the only thing that reliably makes people change behavior: It makes people lose weight, it makes people recover faster," Matari told a recent national gathering for the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). "It is possible that screens are actually making us less, not more, social. So that is where robotics can make a differencethis fundamental embodiment."

The video will load shortly

This won't be the world presented by the film WALL-E, where hoverchairs and telescreens are enabling the worst of our lazy and anti-social habits.

Matari's AAAS appearance represented something of a benchmark, coming nearly 10 years since she was inducted as a fellow and 20 years after she first started at USC.

Making the world a better place?

So how do socially assistive robots make the world a better place? Think of Rosie from The Jetsons, but with software by Tony Robbins.

As coined by Matari and her then-graduate researcher David Feil-Seifer 12 years ago, socially assistive robotics represent a sort of amalgam of two other areas of development in robotics: assistive robotics (robots that help the disabled through direct physical interaction) and social robotics (robots that socialize with people).

Matari's research has shown promising results among a variety of patient groupschildren who are autistic and obese, those recovering from stroke, Alzheimer's and dementia sufferers, and the elderly population in general. Her 2014 study found improved autonomous behavior in children with autism who copied the motions of socially assistive robots, while a 2015 study found those in stroke recovery responded more quickly to upper-extremity exercises (pushing buttons on a button board) when prompted and motivated by a socially assistive robot.

Socially assistive robots can also help to make up for the traditional shortfall in available caregivers, especially as baby boomers and successive generations exponentially swell the ranks of those needing care. The robots can act as a bridge to assisted living facilities, allowing patients and seniors to maintain quality of care in the home. Assisted living not only has an impact on quality of life, but studies have shown a twofold mortality rate for relocation of care, especially in patients with dementia.

"When there is a lack of available care, as is the case with numerous growing special needs populations, a personalized robot can complement and serve as a force multiplier for human care," Matari said.

The coming decades promise to be an exciting time for this nascent industry, as toy robots and Roomba vacuum cleaners are replaced by more complex and interactive machines that are as adept at "pushing our buttons" as we are at pushing theirs.

"My work aims at human augmentation," Matari said. "I want to use robots to help humans have the ability to do their own work and do it better, increasing their health and wellness."

Hundreds of fad diets, weight-loss programs and outright scams promise quick and easy weight loss. However, the foundation of every successful weight-loss program remains a healthy, calorie-controlled diet combined with exercise. For successful, long-term weight loss, you must make permanent changes in your lifestyle and health habits.

How do you make those permanent changes? Consider following these six strategies for weight-loss success.

Permanent weight loss takes time and effort -- and a lifelong commitment. Make sure that you're ready to make permanent changes and that you do so for the right reasons.

To stay committed to your weight loss, you need to be focused. It takes a lot of mental and physical energy to change your habits. So as you're planning new weight-loss-related lifestyle changes, make a plan to address other stresses in your life first, such as financial problems or relationship conflicts. While these stresses may never go away completely, managing them better should improve your ability to focus on achieving a healthier lifestyle. Then, once you're ready to launch your weight-loss plan, set a start date and then -- start.

No one else can make you lose weight. You must undertake diet and exercise changes to please yourself. What's going to give you the burning drive to stick to your weight-loss plan? Make a list of what's important to you to help stay motivated and focused, whether it's an upcoming beach vacation or better overall health. Then find a way to make sure that you can call on your motivational factors during moments of temptation. Perhaps you want to post an encouraging note to yourself on the pantry door, for instance.

While you have to take responsibility for your own behavior for successful weight loss, it helps to have support -- of the right kind. Pick people to support you who will encourage you in positive ways, without shame, embarrassment or sabotage. Ideally, find people who will listen to your concerns and feelings, spend time exercising with you or creating healthy menus, and who will share the priority you've placed on developing a healthier lifestyle. Your support group can also offer accountability, which can be a strong motivation to stick to your weight-loss goals. If you prefer to keep your weight-loss plans private, be accountable to yourself by having regular weigh-ins and recording your diet and exercise progress in a journal.

It may seem obvious to set realistic weight-loss goals. But do you really know what's realistic? Over the long term, it's best to aim for losing 1 to 2 pounds (0.5 to 1 kilogram) a week, although initially you might lose weight more quickly than that if you make significant changes -- just be sure the changes are health supporting. To lose 1 to 2 pounds a week, you need to burn 500 to 1,000 calories more than you consume each day, through a lower calorie diet and regular exercise.

When you're setting goals, think about both process and outcome goals. "Exercise regularly" is an example of a process goal, while "Lose 30 pounds" is an example of an outcome goal. It isn't essential that you have an outcome goal, but you should set process goals because changing your processes -- your habits -- is a key to weight loss. Also make sure that your goals are SMART: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-limited. An example of a SMART goal is aiming to walk for 30 minutes a day, five days a week for the next three months, and logging your results.

Adopting a new eating style that promotes weight loss must include lowering your total calorie intake. But decreasing calories need not mean giving up taste, satisfaction or even ease of meal preparation. One way you can lower your calorie intake is by eating more plant-based foods -- fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Strive for variety to help you achieve your goals without giving up taste or nutrition.

In particular, get your weight loss started by eating a healthy breakfast every day; eating at least four servings of vegetables and three servings of fruits daily; and using healthy fats, such as olive oil, vegetable oils and nut butters. In addition, cut back on sugar, choose low-fat dairy products and keep meat consumption to a 3-ounce portion (about the size of a deck of cards).

The key to weight loss is burning more calories than you consume. Because 3,500 calories equals about 1 pound (0.5 kilogram) of fat, you need to burn 3,500 calories more than you take in to lose 1 pound. So if you cut 500 calories from your typical diet each day, you'd lose about 1 pound a week (500 calories x 7 days = 3,500 calories).

While you can lose weight without exercise, exercise plus calorie restriction can help give you the weight-loss edge. Exercise can help burn off the excess calories you can't cut through diet alone. Exercise also offers numerous health benefits, including boosting your mood, strengthening your cardiovascular system and reducing your blood pressure. Exercise can also help in maintaining weight loss. Studies show that people who maintain their weight loss over the long term get regular physical activity.

How many calories you burn depends on the frequency, duration and intensity of your activities. One of the best ways to lose body fat is through steady aerobic exercise -- such as brisk walking -- for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. Any extra movement helps burn calories, though. Lifestyle activities may be easier to fit into your day. Think about ways you can increase your physical activity throughout the day if you can't fit in formal exercise on a given day. For example, make several trips up and down stairs instead of using the elevator, or park at the far end of the lot when shopping.

It's not enough to eat healthy foods and exercise for only a few weeks or even months if you want long-term, successful weight loss. These habits must become a way of life. Lifestyle changes start with taking an honest look at your eating patterns and daily routine. After assessing your personal challenges to weight loss, try working out a strategy to gradually change habits and attitudes that have sabotaged your past efforts. And you have to move beyond simply recognizing your challenges -- you have to plan for how you'll deal with them if you're going to succeed in losing weight once and for all.

You likely will have an occasional setback. But instead of giving up entirely after a setback, simply start fresh the next day. Remember that you're planning to change your life. It won't happen all at once. Stick to your healthy lifestyle and the results will be worth it.

Weight loss: 6 strategies for success - KSAT San Antonio

DIETING doesnt mean giving up all the foods you love.

GETTY

Losing weight is an uphill battle. There will always be temptation, but after a while it will get easier.

You will grab a piece of fruit instead of a bar of chocolate and you will actually want to exercise because it makes you feel better inside and out.

But starting is always the hardest part, which is why swapping out some foods for healthier alternatives is a great way to begin.

Here are six food tips that will help you lose weight:

Good news dieters! The 23 foods that contain NO calories because you burn more than you consume as you eat

1. Eat more regularly

Skipping meals is one of the worst things you can do if you are trying to lose weight.

Rather, the best thing to do is eat small meals every three to five hours. This will help increase your metabolism and keep your hunger at bay.

2. Drink water before every meal

While we all aim to drink six to eight glasses of water a day, many of us struggle to reach this target.

Not drinking enough water leaves us dehydrated, tired and feeling hungry because often we confuse thirst with hunger and end up over eating.

So make sure you drink at least a glass of water before each meal or snack to stay hydrated and full.

3. Order the smaller-sized coffee

By swapping your large or regular-sized coffee for a short one you will not only save money but over 100 extra calories.

4. Drink clear liquor

When the Daily Star online spoke to Vicky Pattison about how she dropped four dress sizes, she said one of the things she did was swap her sugary-filled drinks for vodka sodas.

This is the right idea as a vodka soda is only around 100 calories per drink while a margarita isaround 500 calories per drink.

5. Swap your favourite junk food for a healthy alternative

If you like mayo, try non-fat Greek yoghurt. Crackers? Cut up cucumber, carrots or zucchinis and dip into hummus.

Swap your chips for nuts for an extra hit of protein and substitute rice for cauliflower rice.

6. Frozen grapes are your new best friend

Frozen grapes are a cheap and easy dessert and will satisfy your sweet tooth.

Six simple food tweaks that will help you lose weight faster - Daily Star

WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) -- A lot of fad diets promise to help you lose weight quickly. One that's been around for nearly a century called the keto diet has grown in popularity in recent decades and makes that same promise.

The Keto Diet is short for ketogenic and forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. A lot of dieters swear by it because of the quick results. But is it all that it's cracked up to be?

Maria Ramos of Ashley wants to lose some weight. Besides working out several times a week at Odyssey Fitness in Wilkes-Barre she's also watching what she eats. "Trying to cut out the carbs. That seems to be working for me," she said. Carb cutting is one of the keys to the Keto Diet. "I'm not actually good at diets but I heard somewhat of it," said Ms. Ramos.

Besides limiting carbohydrates, the Keto Diet requires high fat, moderate protein intake. By restricting carbs, your body is forced to seek energy by breaking down stored fats for its fuel source. People who've tried the Keto Diet often report losing an average of ten or more pounds in the first couple of weeks. "Keto Diet sounds like a good thing at first," said Odyssey Fitness Nutrition Coach and Lead Personal Trainer Marissa Udzella but she added there's a price to pay on this restrictive diet. "You could be the term 'skinny fat' and be losing weight but you might be losing mostly your lean tissue."

Another danger of the Keto Diet is while you will be losing pounds you'll be depriving your body of essential nutrients. The diet long-term can deprive your bones of calcium and lead to osteoporosis. Also, raised cholesterol levels from a fat-rich diet can harm your cardiovascular health. "There's things that are going to go wrong whether it's in your bones, whether it's your hormones, your muscle tissue, whatever. You need to have that balance," said Ms. Udzella.

It's why Ms. Ramos says to reach her personal goals, dieting alone won't get the results she wants. "I'm trying to incorporate more fruits and vegetables in my diet and trying to come here like after I get out of work."

Ms. Udzella says aim to drop one to two pounds per week so that you protect lean muscle mass. If you plan to diet, she recommends small changes over time because it's easier to make it part of a healthy lifestyle.

Pearl went through acupuncture to help her lose weight. (Picture: Dog Networking Agents Inc./Caters News)

Just two years ago, Pearl the Jack Russel-cross was scheduled to be euthanised thanks to her weight.

She weight close to six stone, making her morbidly obese, and had to be wheeled everywhere on a special cart.

Vets feared her heart could stop at any moment. She had so many rolls of fat she couldnt walk or turn her neck. Poor Pearl.

Abandoned on the streets, it was found that there was no medical condition that had made Pearl such a large size just neglect and severe overfeeding from her previous owners.

She was scared, depressed, and had pain in her joints, having been fed nearly to death.

Vets were astounded that she was still alive.

Thankfully, she was discovered by Dog Networking Agents Inc, who decided to step in and save Pearl from her growing weight.

Pet rescuer Hayley Zielinski quickly put Pearl on a special diet and exercise plan, setting her up on an underwater treadmill so she could work out without putting too much pressure on her body.

Two years on, shes lost two stone and eight pounds and looks like an entirely different dog.

But shes still got more weight to lose.

This dog was absolutely morbidly obese, she couldnt walk at all or move her head because her neck was enormous, she even had to be wheeled into the vets, said Hayley.

No one had seen such a morbidly obese dog that was still alive and vets told us that her heart could stop at any moment.

At times, we didnt think she was going to make it, we feared she was going to have a heart attack, but she didnt and she fought on, Im really proud of her.

Shes came so far in her weight loss and emotional wellbeing. She went from being trapped in her own body and scared of the outside world to confident, plus she can even jog every now and again.

Dogs like Pearl would normally be euthanized in the shape she was in but we wanted to give her a chance and Im glad we did, shes amazing.

Pearl is now a local celebrity for her amazing weight loss, popping along to Weight Watchers meetings and strolling around the town showing off her transformation.

Shes a real character, shes hilarious and very lazy, said Hayley.

I will take her for a walk and after a while she will just drop on the floor and refuses to move.

Same, Pearl. Same.
