There are certain rules in life that most people know, like the fact that youre probably going to put on weight when you eat a bunch of fast food. Well, one man from the U.K. ended up eating nothing but KFC for a week and actually managed to lose a few pounds. Yeah.

YouTuber Mike Jeavons decided to eat KFC for a week (because why not?) and he circled back with fans about the results in a video he shared earlier this month. Jeavons explained in the video that he decided to mimic the documentary Super Size Me for a week to see if he still was into his beloved KFC. I love KFC and wanted to see if I'd still love it if it was all I ate for a week, he said.

So, Jeavons said he went to KFC on the regular, which increased his daily sodium intake by 150%. In his recap, Jeavons said he had a salt hangover and felt like he became addicted to fast food during the week.

That all made sense, until he shared that he actually lost 2 pounds on the fast food-only diet.

Jeavons said he spent about $135 dollars on KFC during the week and basically ate his way through the whole menu. Still, he managed to only eat about 2,000 calories a day on average, which might help explain the weight loss. But, Jeavons added, his fat intake increased 250%, so who knows?

The experiment was similar to one that went viral a few months back where fitness coach Jordan Syatt ate a Big Mac a day and also managed to lose weight.

Overall, Jeavons said he had a lot of fun eating all this naughty food and that hes now a little bummed that hes not making regular KFC trips. He also said hes missing the flavors and that salty kick. Food doesnt seem as salty to me anymore.

As for his theory that he might be totally over KFC after this, Jeavons said that definitely wasnt the case when the week was done. I really missed KFC! he said.

In case you're thinking of going on the KFC diet (fair), Jeavons points out that he felt pretty crappy while he was on it: He was tired "all the time" and started chugging water as soon as he woke up because of all of the salt he was eating.

Still, you can dream, right?

You can continue eating your favourite meals (Image: Shutterstock)

Numerous people around the world have incorporated intermittent fasting into their lifestyle. Intermittent fasting is a pattern of eating where one schedules their meals around the clock. So, rather than changing what you eat, intermittent fasting helps with weight loss by changing when you eat. Therefore, you can continue eating your favourite meals (in regular quantities!).

When the body is digesting and absorbing food, it is in the fed state. This state lasts for three to five hours. Resultantly, its very hard for the body to burn fat since insulin levels are pretty high.The fasted state lasts for eight to twelve hours, this is the time when its easier to burn fat (Image: Shutterstock)

The post-absorptive state follows the fed state. During this time, the body isnt digesting or absorbing any meal. This period is called the fasted state and it lasts eight to twelve hours. During the fasted state, it is easier for the body to burn fat because insulin levels are low.

The 16/8 method is the most popular intermitted fasting schedule. It involves having your first meal in the afternoon at around 13:00, thisis the first break of the fast. This then means that the eating period will go from 1300h to 2100h. After the final meal, the fast begins and carries on for 16 hours. You can opt to break your fast earlier or later than 1300h, just as long as you maintain the 16 hour fasted stated and 8 hour fed state.The 16/8 method is the most popular intermitted fasting schedule (Image: Shutterstock)

Intermittent fasting helps you consume less calories by restricting your meals to a set time window. This style of eating also changes hormone levels and lowers insulin, which increases the release of norepinephrine (noradrenaline), a fat-burning hormone. Do note that if you binge eat during your eating window, you will not lose any weight.

Children should not partake in intermittent fasting as their bodies are not fully developed. Individuals with a chronic illness should also avoid this method of weight loss. Additionally, pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek professional medical advice before participating in intermittent fasting.

Al Roker has done one of the most difficult things anyone can accomplish, and that is lose weight, keep it off, and do it all in public. The Today Show weatherman has lost over 100 pounds since his gastric bypass surgery in 2002.

Since then, Roker has kept the weight off, but not without an intentional daily effort. The holidays are no exception, with all the parties and get-togethers and their accompanying rich desserts, casseroles, cakes, and dinners.

Find out how the 65-year-old strategically deals with staying fit during the most delicious time of year, plus his favorite sweet potato casserole recipe. Everything in moderation!

Rokers presence at the New York City parade held every year on Thanksgiving Day is a tradition. He has helped to host the event since 1995 with hosts varying from former Today weatherman Willard Scott to Katie Couric, Matt Lauer, Meredith Vieira, Ann Curry, and now Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb.

Every year, its different in a sense, Roker told OnTV last week, whether its the weather or different balloons or different floats. Its still one of those things where you come to it and youre amazed that youre a part of peoples holiday and peoples tradition.

I grew up with this, and it never even entered my imagination that someday, I would be part of it.

While even the most vigilant fitness buff may take it easy during the holidays, Roker has learned he simply cant expect to slack off and maintain his weight loss. The Today star has developed some tips for enjoying himself during the holidays, while keeping control.

My strategy is I dont deprive myself, he told the New York Daily News in 2014. I have a spoonful of whatever it is I like and thats that. I just cant physically eat as much as I used to, sadly.

I feel good. You know, every day is a battle. You fight it every day. Its an addiction. Theres no secret its less food, more exercise.

Roker also shared his strategy when ordering in a restaurant that helps him watch his portions.

If we go to dinner I tell the waiter, Take whatever it is, cut it in half, put the other half in a doggie bag and put the other half on my plate.'

Yet, as disciplined as Roker is, he realizes that life is for enjoyment as well and makes certain to enjoy those holiday dishes that he has loved for years. Including his mothers sweet potato casserole.

He posted on the Today website last year about this beloved recipe.

I dont know where my mom came up with this recipe. Ive heard of many versions of it from the South, but my mom wasnt from the South! Somehow, though, it became a Thanksgiving staple for our family.

He was a bit overweight when we met 18 years ago but hes piled on the weight since and it affects our family life.

He has never taken the kids swimming and his snoring is now so bad I cant sleep. He is 37, I am 34.

He says he hates being overweight, but he quickly gives up on diets or exercising.

He only managed once to get to his normal weight for his height.

I told him he looked good and our sex life was brilliant. But slowly the weight piled back on.

I have tried ignoring it, nagging him, and pleading with him. Now I give up.

Nachni chips: what you need to know about this healthy snack for weight loss  |  Photo Credit: Getty Images

New Delhi: The diet you consume plays animportant role in keeping you healthy, especially if you are trying to lose weight. You may eat a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner to lose weight, and may also spend hours at the gym but not see the results you expected. This could be because of skipping your mid-day snack, or not having a healthy one.

When you do not eat between meals, your body starts starving, and your blood sugar drops down. This leads to sugar cravings, and when you finally eat your next meal, you over-eat, or you consume something sugary, which messes with your diet. Eating a healthy, high-fibre, nutritious mid-day snack is very important to keep your weight loss on track. Here is one such snack recommendation, and the many benefits it has, and how you can easily make it at home.

Nachni chips and rotis have become very popular among diet-conscious celebrities, bloggers and influencers. If you have been hearing the term too often, here is what you need to know about it.

For those unaware, Nachni is another name for Ragi. Finger millet, a healthy cereal, is called Nachni or Ragi in Hindi. Most people make rotis or chips with the cereal, and consume it in that form.

Nachni chips are a healthy snack as they are power-packed with protein and fibre. Both protein and fibre can induce the feeling of satiety, making you feel fuller for longer, a characteristic essential for a mid-day snack. Protein also plays an important role if you are trying to lose weight, and therefore, nachni or ragi chips can be a great choice.

Apart from these benefits for weight loss, Nachni or Ragi can also help improve heart health and manage diabetes. It is a great cereal to increase bone strength, lactation and reduce the risk of strokes. One important characteristic of Nachni is that it is gluten-free, and can, therefore, be consumed without any gluten-allergy limitations. If you are aiming for healthy skin apart from losing weight, Nachni chips can also help you as it contains vitamin B3. Vitamin B3 helps in the formation of new skin cells and reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of ageing.

Nachni chips are easily available in most stores now, both online and offline. However, you must ensure that the chips are roasted, and not fried. You can also make your own ragi chips at home with little effort.

To make Nachni chips, take Nachni or Ragi flour, wheat flour, and rice flour in a bowl in the quantities mentioned below -

Add a teaspoon of salt, red chilli powder, turmeric, chaat masala, cumin powder, and mix well. Then add water and kneed into a soft dough.

Roll out the dough into thick rotis, and then use a knife to cut it into pieces, the size of the chips you want.

Layout the chips on a tray, and roast them in a microwave or OTG oven.

Your Nachni chips are ready to serve and eat.

After cooling the baked chips, you can store themfor a day or two in an airtight container, ensuring thatthe chips do not become soggy.

Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which the body cant control the amount of glucose in the blood. The body doesnt respond to insulin properly and may not produce enough. This causes a persons blood glucose level to become too high. If blood sugar stays too high and the condition is left untreated, a number of dangerous health complications could ensue, including kidney failure, nerve damage and heart disease. But father-of-two, Joe Paterson from Stockport managed to reverse his type 2 diabetes.

Joe had never been very health conscious and after losing both his parents he turned to food for comfort, and before he knew it, his weight had ballooned to almost 22 stone.

At Christmas in 2017, Joe received the devastating news that he had type 2 diabetes.

Joes mindset and motivation was at an all-time low and with his weight creeping up so did his fear for serious health risks due to his untreated condition.

I had always dodged the diabetic bullet, so to speak. That was before I was diagnosed with the condition. I still didnt do anything about my weight and my health was deteriorating; I was getting bigger," said Joe.

"On January 8 this year, thats when things started to change for me. I wanted to live longer and to see my girls grow up.

"It was eye-opening and having said it, I knew I had to do something. What really brought it home was the weigh-in.

"At 22st 12lbs, I was two pounds short of what my dad had been when he was at his heaviest, something which affected his health in later life. I didnt want history repeating itself.

How Joe lost the weight and put his type 2 diabetes into remission

Joe embarked on the 1:1 Diet by Cambridge Weight Plan.

The 1:1 Diet, originally known as the Cambridge Diet was launched in the UK in 1984 and has helped more than 30 million people worldwide lose weight and reduce their health risks.

The diet works as a meal replacement diet in which 415 to 1,500 calories consumed daily through a combination of meal replacement bars, smoothies, shakes and soups.

How low-calorie diets help with type 2 diabetes management?

Diabetes UK said on its website: Theres some evidence showing us that low-calorie diets can be used to treat or manage type 2 diabetes.

The diet is a short-term plan of meal replacements. This type diet isnt right for everyone.

You need to speak with your doctor before starting a low-calorie diet, so you can be sure that its safe and could work for you.

Joe lost a total of five stone and couldnt believe the positive effect the diet plan was having on not only his life, but his health too.

The biggest achievement was, of course, reversing my diabetes. It was such a relief, he divulged.

A pilot scheme was launched last year by the NHS where thousands of people with type 2 diabetes were prescribed a very low-calorie diet in the hope of reversing the condition.

NHS England has also announced its expanding a programme to prevent people developing type 2 diabetes.

Dr Shareen Forbes, reader in diabetes and endocrinology at the University of Edinburgh, said: "There are now a number of studies that demonstrate remission of type 2 diabetes with weight loss.

"Such interventions can have significant economic impacts given the levels of type 2 diabetes now in society.

Diet pills and laxatives, used for weight control, could act as a "gateway" that could lead to an eating disorder. Among young women without an eating disorder diagnosis - those who use diet pills and laxatives for weight control - have higher odds of receiving a subsequent first eating disorder diagnosis within one to three years than those who did not report using these products. These are the findings of a new study led by researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Boston Children's Hospital.

The team analyzed data from 10,058 women and girls, in the age group of 14 to 36 years, who participated in the US-based Growing Up Today Study (GUTS), from 2001 to 2016.

The researchers found that among participants without an eating disorder, 1.8% of those who used diet pills during the past year reported receiving a first eating disorder diagnosis during the next one to three years. This is compared to 1% of those who did not use the products.

The analysis also shows that among these participants, 4.2% of those who used laxatives for weight control received a subsequent first eating disorder diagnosis compared to 0.8% of those who did not use these products for weight control. The findings have been published in the American Journal of Public Health (AJPH).

"We have known that diet pills and laxatives, when used for weight control, can be very harmful substances. We wanted to find out if these products could be a gateway behavior that could lead to an eating order diagnosis", says senior author S. Bryn Austin, a Professor in the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences at Harvard Chan School and director of the Strategic Training Initiative for the Prevention of Eating Disorders (STRIPED).

Professor Austin says, "Our findings parallel what we have known to be true with tobacco and alcohol: starting harmful substances can set young people on a path to worsening problems, including serious substance abuse disorder."

Eating disorders represent a significant public health problem. According to a 2018 report by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2013-16, almost one-half of US adults or 49.1% tried to lose weight within the last year. A higher percentage of younger adults aged 2039 and middle-aged adults aged 4059 tried to lose weight, compared with older adults aged 60 and older.

A higher percentage of women (56.4%) than men (41.7%) tried to lose weight, says the CDC study, based on data collected in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 201316.

According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD), a non-profit organization, at least 30 million people of all ages and genders suffer from an eating disorder in the US, and every 62 minutes at least one person dies as a direct result from an eating disorder.

Further, estimating the prevalence of eating disorders in the US, a 2018 report says that 0.80% of US adults would be affected by anorexia nervosa in their lifetime; 0.28% would be affected by bulimia nervosa, and 0.85% would be affected by binge eating disorder. The estimates were made using a nationally representative sample of 36,309 adults - the largest national sample of US adults ever studied.

In addition to lifetime estimates, the study - published in Biological Psychiatry - found that 12-month estimates for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder were 0.05%, 0.14%, and 0.44%, respectively.

The study also reported that the eating disorders included in analysis often interfere with normal daily activities and social relationships.

Healthcare experts do not recommend the use of over-the-counter diet pills or laxatives as a healthy way to manage weight. They can have severe health consequences, including high blood pressure and liver and kidney damage, say experts.

In the current study, the researchers stress that the use of these products for weight control may serve as a "gateway" to further disordered eating practices by "dysregulating normal digestive function and fostering dependence on unhealthy and ineffective coping methods."

Accordingly, based on their findings, the researchers have called for policies that restrict access to these products, including banning the sale of diet pills to minors.

"Our findings are a wake-up call about the serious risks of these products. Instagram took a step in the right direction recently by banning ads to minors for over-the-counter diet pills and 'detox' teas, which are often laxatives", says first author Jordan Levinson, clinical research assistant, Division of Adolescent Medicine, Boston Children's Hospital.

Levinson says, "It is time for retailers and policymakers to take the dangers of these products seriously and take steps to protect youth."
