After Wynter Mitchell endured three back-to-back unsuccessful pregnancies, her doctor advised her to look into in vitro fertilization. But she noticed the IVF specialists always focused on her weight.

They considered it a hurdle to the procedure, says Mitchell, who had a body mass index of 40 at that point, which is sometimes categorized as severe obesity.

Shes had polycystic ovary syndrome since she was a teenager and always had issues with her weight, she explains.

Women with PCOS have a hormonal imbalance and metabolism problems, with symptoms that include weight gain or difficulty losing weight, according to the Office on Womens Health.

When the pounds wouldnt come off despite working out and eating well, Mitchell shared her frustrations in a Facebook group for women trying to conceive. Someone suggested Ozempic, the Type 2 diabetes treatment. One of its side effects is weight loss.

Mitchell, who has insulin resistance because of PCOS, says she had no problems getting a prescription. She started taking Ozempic in July of 2022.

Within a month, I dropped 20 pounds and it was marvelous. I couldnt believe it. I hadnt lost that much weight since I was in my mid-30s. I just said, this is a way forward. This is going to get me to the finish line, Mitchell, 43, a digital strategist who lives in Los Angeles, tells TODAY.com.

If I got down to a weight that was reasonable for me to be seen, which seemed like it was a BMI of under 35 for all of these specialists, then there would be no question at this point. I would have a successful stimulation and a successful (egg) retrieval, which I ultimately ended up having.

Mitchells BMI dropped to 33. She has lost 50 pounds so far and wants to continue taking Ozempic until she loses 30 more. She hopes that will put her in the best position when its time to place the embryo.

Its possible that using medications like Ozempic or its sister-drug Wegovy, which is specifically approved for weight loss, may improve a womans chances of conceiving if she has insulin resistance or obesity, says Dr. Alex Robles, a reproductive endocrinologist at Columbia University Fertility Center in New York.

The drugs themselves dont boost fertility, but could put a womans body into a more optimal state for conception before she tries to get pregnant, he adds.

Theres an association between obesity and infertility, Robles notes. Obese women can have hormonal disruptions that lead to irregular periods a signal theyre not ovulating regularly. But even modest weight loss can restore the normal hormonal processes that allow ovulation to happen, he says.

It can help with egg retrieval during IVF as well because visualizing and accessing the ovaries in patients who have more body fat can be challenging, Robles explains.

Women with obesity also have significantly higher risk of miscarriage, fetal death and still birth, he says. When the scale doesnt budge with diet and exercise, hes noticed some of his patients have been turning to drugs like Ozempic ahead of getting pregnant.

The best bet is to try to use this medication at least a few months before actually trying to conceive to see if you can achieve the benefit, Robles says.

On the flip side, hes seen some data that using Ozempic could potentially negatively impact levels of luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone both important for the reproductive system but thats likely in the context of rapid excessive weight loss, Robles says.

In a statement to TODAY.com, Novo Nordisk, which makes both Ozempic and Wegovy, says it doesnt have clinical data evaluating the effect of the drugs on fertility treatments.

Ozempic is not approved for weight management, the pharmaceutical company adds.

While we recognize that some healthcare providers may be prescribing Ozempic for patients whose goal is to lose weight, we do not promote, suggest, or encourage off-label use of our medicines, Novo Nordisk says in the statement.

We trust that healthcare providers are evaluating a patients individual needs and determining which medicine is right for that particular patient.

Women should stop taking Ozempic and Wegovy at least two months before a planned pregnancy, according to the prescribing information for both drugs.

Thats how long it could take for the drugs active ingredient, semaglutide, to completely clear out of a womans system, which is important because doctors dont know how it affects pregnant patients, Robles says.

Wegovy may cause fetal harm and should not be taken during pregnancy, according to the drugs prescribing information.

When it comes to Ozempic, it should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk, the prescribing information warns. It notes doctors should consider both the risks of poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy and the potential risks to the fetus from exposure to semaglutide during pregnancy.

About 45% of pregnancies in the U.S. are unintended, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Since many women of childbearing age may be interested in taking Ozempic or Wegovy for weight loss, some doctors worry this population doesnt know enough about the potential risks if an unplanned pregnancy were to happen while theyre on the immensely popular medications.

Dr. Manijeh Kamyar, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist and OB-GYN in Las Vegas, Nevada, says patients usually tell her no one has discussed the risks with them.

I think that thats a huge gap in the use of this medication, especially when something like this ramps up so quickly, Kamyar tells TODAY.com.

My recommendation is: While youre on this treatment if your doctor has decided its the best for you you should definitely be on some type of birth control. Because if you accidentally get pregnant while on this, I dont know what thats going to mean for your pregnancy I cannot guarantee the safety of this medication in pregnancy.

The safety data doesnt exist in humans right now, both Kamyar and Robles say. It may come after years of people using these medications and accidentally becoming pregnant while on them, they add.

Animal data from pregnant rodents, rabbits and monkeys exposed to semaglutide showed structural abnormalities in fetuses and early pregnancy losses, according to the prescribing information for Ozempic and Wegovy.

Besides stopping the medication at least two months before a planned pregnancy, both Kamyar and Robles advise women to avoid using Ozempic or Wegovy while theyre pregnant or breastfeeding.

Its very likely that these medications will be excreted in the breast milk. And again, we just dont know what the effects of this particular drug are on the fetus or the baby, Robles says.

There is no data on the presence of semaglutide in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant or the effects on milk production, according to the prescribing information for Ozempic and Wegovy.

If a woman unexpectedly becomes pregnant while taking these drugs, she should tell her doctor as soon as possible, both Kamyar and Robles advise. She and her fetus will likely be monitored more closely than a typical patient, Robles adds.

Mitchell hopes to have the embryo from her IVF procedure placed later this year. She says shell stop taking Ozempic before and during the pregnancy, but thinks shell revisit the treatment after she stops nursing.

Medication like Ozempic likely is not the silver bullet to help women struggling with fertility get pregnant, but it could be a potential adjunct if a patient has obesity or insulin resistance, Robles says.

Kamyar says the medication could be helpful in those cases, but still recommends making lifestyle changes like diet and exercise first to lose weight that way.

She doesnt think theres enough information about how these drugs might affect women of childbearing age and pregnant women.

Research in this area needs to be expedited and physicians really need to do their due diligence in counseling patients that we do not have this data, Kamyar says.

In the video, she says that men have revamped their reactions to her since she started eating differently and going to the gym more frequently.

"You're not my type," she reported men saying to her.

"You're a great friend though."

Their tone has changed, according to the video with more than 786,000 likes.

Now, the same men say: "You look great, we should catch up!"

Varela doesn't seem terribly bothered by those guys' change of heart.

She captioned the video: "If they didnt want you at your worst"

TikTok commenters were cheering Varela on.

One said: "You shouldve told him hes a great friend but not your type."

Another said: "SHE ATE no Crumbs left," with a series of fire emojis.

Varela said she runs an online coaching program for people who are trying to lose weight naturally.

"I help women not only lose weight but I help them gain their confidence and self-esteem back!

"I have built a safe space for them where theyre not alone. Because Ive been there. I know what its like to be forgotten."

Intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating have gained popularity as a method of weight loss. But is it as good as for other health parameters? A recent study, published in The Royal Society, showed how model organisms zebrafish had a poor quality of sperms and eggs in response to the long break in the eating cycle because of fasting. Though the study was restricted to fish, it is believed that the same dietary habit may have a similar impact on humans. Dr Shruti N Mane, consultant fertility expert at Motherhood Fertility and IVF, Navi Mumbai, cautions about its impact on your hormones.

1. Many use fasting as a way to lose weight. How is intermittent fasting different from other types of fasting?

Intermittent fasting is an umbrella term used for alternate day fasting (ADF), the 5:2 diet and time restricted eating (TRE). One adopts various ways and means to battle the bulge. Alternate day fasting (ADF) involves a feast day where individuals eat ad libitum (meaning that you can eat as much food as you want), alternated with a fast day where individuals can consume only water. The 5:2 diet is a modified way of ADF where individuals have five feast days and fast for two days per week. TRE involves an eating window for a limited number of hours in a day and fasting with zero calorie beverages for remaining hours of the day.

But one should speak to an expert and weigh the pros and cons before following any diet. Moreover, choosing any diet without the experts knowledge is a strict no-no. It can lead to severe complications and impact ones overall well-being.

2. Can this kind of diet have negative effects on eggs and sperm quality?

In women, intermittent fasting can negatively affect estrogen levels and other reproductive hormones, leading to menstrual irregularities and fertility issues. According to studies, the way organisms respond to food shortages can lead to a negative outcome when it comes to the quality of eggs and sperm.

Also, the female pituitary gland is sensitive to caloric intake. Below a certain level, signalling proteins like kisspeptin could decrease, thereby causing levels of LH and FSH to drop. Unfortunately, the only studies confirming this have been done on animals.

For a regular menstrual cycle and regular ovulation, women need enough energy (calories) and adequate body fat. If you restrict food intake too much, your body thinks you are in danger and conserves energy by reducing estrogen and progesterone as your hormonal axis, (hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis) goes into sleep mode.

This means your ovulation process is hindered and will not occur, hence causing irregular or no periods also known as hypothalamic amenorrhoea.

A drop in Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)a hormone that helps to produce hormones, including testosterone and estrogen has been observed after a TRE diet for a period of eight weeks.

In females, a drop in DHEA levels are shown to negatively affect egg quality, causing reduced libido, vaginal dryness and osteoporosis. Studies have also shown that supplementing DHEA may improve success rates in females undergoing fertility treatment.

Fasting can impact puberty and growth of pre-pubertal girls. It has been found that time-restricted intermittent fasting reduces blood sugar levels and increases insulin sensitivity which can be a benefit to a certain group of patients diagnosed with PCOS.

3. What do the other global studies indicate?

In a studyEffect of intermittent fasting on reproductive hormone levels in females and malesit is stated that intermittent fasting decreases androgen markers (i.e testosterone and free androgen index) while increasing the serum hormone binding globulin levels in women with premenopausal obesity.

These androgen markers are important during follicular development and for estrogen synthesis. A decrease in their level may in return negatively impact the estrogen levels in the female body, hence hindering the process of ovulation.

Studies conducted on female rats in 2013 by S Kumar have shown that intermittent fasting leads to a suppression of reproductive hormones and even slightly reduced size of their ovaries. Dr Varady and her team discovered that after eight weeks of dieting, DHEA significantly declined by about 14 per cent.

Studies on athletes, who often follow strict diets, have shown that their monthly cycle can be affected when the body spends too long in negative energy balance (more calories are being burned than being eaten). This can occur even if the body is deprived of energy just for a part of the day as might happen during intermittent fasting.

4. Have you come across patients whose fertility got impacted due to intermittent fasting? Does it affect the nutritional intake?

One of my patients did bear the brunt of following the fad of intermittent fasting. She started with TRE only for the purpose of weight loss and continued it for a period of three months. She did manage to lose 7 kg over a period of three months with TRE. However, it was not possible for her to continue with the trend due to the associated side effects with intermittent fasting such as headaches, feeling fatigued all the time, hunger bouts at odd times and constipation. She presented to me with complaints of irregular periods and intermittent spotting.

This shows that putting your body through extremes causes a shift in your hormones, thereby affecting ovulation and your fertility. If not done properly, intermittent fasting can lead to malnutrition.

If a person engages in very long fasting periods and doesnt replenish their body with enough nutrients, this could result in malnutrition and associated health complications. The same goes for poorly planned continuous energy restriction.

Thats why its essential to consume a well-rounded, nutritious diet while practising intermittent fasting. Make sure you never overly restrict your calorie intake. A healthcare professional whos experienced in intermittent fasting can help you come up with a safe plan that provides an appropriate number of calories and the right amounts of nutrients for you.

5. What precautionary measures need to be taken for a fasting diet?

There is also absolutely no evidence that intermittent fasting is helpful for fertility. And if you become pregnant, intermittent fasting is definitely NOT recommended during a time where so many nutrients are required to support new life.

It is better to get yourself evaluated before following any type of diet. Do not follow any diet just because your friend or family member is doing it or your favourite celebrity is doing it. Apart from that, many people also take the help of these kinds of diets after they go viral on social media. This is not at all advised. These diets can do more harm than good. They are not suitable for all body types. They can cause irreversible severe complications that can steal your peace of mind.

It is better to stay in touch with a fertility consultant, who will guide you regarding reproductive health. You will be advised on nutrition and exercise after assessing your overall well-being. If you have any doubts. then you need to get them addressed by a fertility consultant. Apart from diet, one will also have to pay equal attention to other factors like exercise, stress, sleep, pollution, and certain conditions in men and women that impact fertility.

Does intermittent fasting (IF) affect fertility in women? - The Indian Express

Mike Woods felt 'helpless' when two of his children were diagnosed with severe nut allergies, but he started a business to help them - as his life's mission is to 'keep them safe'

A dad who has two children with life-threatening nut allergies has recalled how "helpless and anxious" he felt when his kids were diagnosed, as he constantly worried he wouldn't be able to do enough to protect them.

Mike Woods, 58, and his wife Karen are parents to three children - Jamilla, Danika and Rourke - and were left devastated when two of them were diagnosed with their allergies at aged four and two.

The dad said their diagnosis was a "frightening time" for the family, and his life became "a mission to keep the kids safe" as he constantly had to watch what they were eating.

Speaking to The Mirror, Mike said: "Out of my three children, two have severe nut allergies. They were diagnosed at just four and two years old which was a frightening time. As a father it makes you feel quite helpless and anxious. Our lives suddenly became a mission to keep the kids safe and alive, and you worry you can't protect them enough. You just want the best for your children!"

As his children got older, Mike realised one of the most difficult things for them to cope with in relation to their allergies was birthday parties, as they were unable to enjoy a simple slice of birthday cake.

The dad said his children were "isolated and excluded" from their friends' birthday parties as a result, and it compelled him to do something about it - so he started his own cake company to ensure there was always a nut-free option for his kids and the other 2 million people in the UK living with an allergy.

Mike founded the Just Love Food Company in 2009, and said the brand's goal is to make sure birthdays and special occasions can be celebrated regardless of people's dietary requirements.

He explained: "Seeing my two young children isolated and excluded from sharing the cake at birthday parties and celebrations due to their allergies made me feel compelled to do something. It was at a time when there were no alternative options available in supermarkets and I wanted to ensure they were invited and included in all usual celebrations with friends and family, either at home or at school.

"Starting Just Love felt like my contribution to our children's well-being, and subsequently to any of the 2 million people in the UK living with an allergy. It's harder and harder to make celebrations truly inclusive but it's important for us that we help make birthdays and special occasions something that can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of dietary requirements."

Just Love Food Company started off as a nut-free brand, but now serves products with 13 of the top 14 allergens removed, and makes around 6,000 cakes a day.

Mike said his company's goal is to become the "most inclusive cake brand" so that everyone can enjoy a sweet treat for a special occasion without having to scrutinise the packaging.

To mark Allergy Awareness Week between April 24 and April 30, Just Love Food Company has launched a brand-new Confetti Traybake with no nuts, no milk, and no eggs.

The vanilla-flavoured traybake cake covered in multi-coloured sugar pieces serves nine, and retails at 6. The cake will be available from Tesco and Asda.

'My kids' allergies made me feel helpless - now my life's mission is to keep them safe' - The Mirror

Knowing your BMI tells you whether you might be carrying extra pounds. But it doesnt tell you how much muscle you have or where the fat is located, two factors that are important in determining whether you need to lose weight.

With age, the amount of fat you have increases and the amount of muscle decreases. This age-related loss of muscle, called sarcopenia, is associated with a higher risk of falls, frailty, and early death. In addition, that extra fat may accumulate in the midsection (called visceral fat) and infiltrate muscles and organs, such as the liver. This shift, which happens regardless of the BMI, contributes to an increased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, liver disease, and more.

Thats why some researchers point to body composition testing, which determines the percentage of body fat, as a way to get a more accurate idea how weight could be affecting health. A 2020 review published in Frontiers in Nutrition found that evidence supports the role of low lean mass [i.e., muscle] as the actual predictor of mortality when used in place of BMI.

There are easy ways to figure out where you stand in terms of body fat and muscle.

First, measure your waist circumference, which will help you see if youre carrying too much visceral fat. Place a tape measure around your middle, just above your hip bones. If the number is greater than 40 inches for men and 35 inches for women, your disease risk is higher.

An inexpensive way to measure body fat is to use skinfold calipers (available at many gyms). But a DXA (dual X-ray absorptiometry) scan, which your doctor may have already recommended to test bone density, can tell you how much fat and muscle youre carrying and estimate the amount of visceral fat. So if youre getting a DXA scan for your bones, ask for those results. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, a poor result for people ages 60 and over is a body fat percentage greater than 25.7 for men and over 30.9 for women. (Note: Scales that measure body fat might not give accurate results, CRs tests have found.)

Next, with these numbers in hand, consider your health and lifestyle. Are you in good health or are you trying to manage one or more chronic conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, COPD, or osteoarthritis? Do you have trouble moving around because of excess weight or can you do all the things you want to do, such as playing with your grandkids, volunteering, or just sleeping soundly? Focusing on these factors is a better approach for evaluating if you need to lose weight than focusing on what the scale says alone, says Laura Mosqueda, MD, a professor of family medicine and geriatrics at the Keck School of Medicine of USC in Los Angeles.

For example, if youre 5 feet, 6 inches and weigh 160 or 170 (a BMI of 25.8 or 27.4, respectively); your waist size is within the guidelines; and youre active and healthy, you probably dont need to worry about losing weight. But if you have underlying health conditions or youre carrying excess pounds around your middle, you may be better off trying to drop some weight. If necessary, your doctor can help you determine how weight changes could affect your health.

PhenQ is a dietary supplement that is designed to help people lose weight quickly and safely. It is made from natural ingredients that are known to be effective in promoting weight loss and improving overall health. PhenQ works in a number of ways to help people achieve their weight loss goals, it has many real reviews to its credit rather than the contractually obliged celebrity.

One of the key ways that PhenQ helps people lose weight is by suppressing their appetite. This means that people who take PhenQ are less likely to feel hungry throughout the day, which can lead to reduced calorie intake and weight loss.

PhenQ helps to boost the body's metabolism, which means that it can burn calories more efficiently, even when the body is at rest. This can help people lose weight more quickly, as their body is burning more calories than it normally would.

Another way that PhenQ can help people lose weight is by preventing future weight gain. This is because PhenQ contains ingredients that can help to regulate blood sugar levels, which can reduce cravings for sugary and high-calorie foods. By reducing the likelihood of overeating, PhenQ can help people maintain their weight loss results and avoid regaining the weight they have lost.

Are you tired of struggling to lose weight or trying fad diets that always seem to fail? Look no further than KetoCharge - the ketogenic diet pill that can help you burn excess body fat naturally.

By promoting the body's natural state of ketosis, where it burns fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates, KetoCharge helps you shed unwanted pounds without the need for extreme calorie restriction or exhaustive exercise routines. And with natural ingredients such as green tea extract and apple cider vinegar, this weight loss supplement is both safe and effective.

Click to view Zotrim price and availability

Zotrim is a natural dietary supplement that helps curb hunger and reduce calorie intake to aid weight loss. It contains plant-based ingredients like guarana seed extract, yerba mate, and damiana leaf extract that work together to produce a feeling of fullness and reduce appetite.

By limiting hunger and cravings, Zotrim makes it easier to stick to a reduced calorie diet, which leads to burning stored body fat for energy and weight loss over time.

With regular use, Zotrim can help you achieve your weight goals in a safe and sustainable way without harsh stimulants or artificial additives. Its all-natural formula and proven efficacy have made it one of the most popular diet pills for effective yet natural weight management.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends setting a weight loss goal of 1-2 pounds per week. So do many weight loss experts. Unfortunately, if you follow this advice you will not be able to reduce your body weight in the allotted time frame of a month.

To lose 10 pounds in 4 weeks, you will need to lose 2 1/2 pounds a week. This would allow you to reach your goal in 28 days and, unless you begin your quest in February, you will have two or three extra days if you need them.

You will need to place a low-energy diet at the heart of your weight loss plan. Unless you have health issues that prevent this, it will be helpful to burn extra calories through exercise as well.

Before you begin following a diet plan that is strict enough to allow you to reduce body weight quickly in a month, it's best to book an appointment with your family doctor and check if this is a safe goal for you to pursue.

Presuming you are in reasonably good health, there will probably be no issues to deter you but it's still a good idea to check.

If you have 10 pounds to lose, your body has been storing fat. It only does fat burning and does this when your diet provides it with more energy than it needs. If your diet does not provide enough energy, your body burns fat instead.

Although it's also possible to use kilojoules, it's more common to measure the body's energy intake and expenditure in calories.

The body takes in energy from food and expends it in multiple ways. The main thing it does is use energy to keep us alive. Even when we are asleep, the body is using energy to keep our hearts beating, power our lungs, digest food, and perform numerous other essential tasks.

The energy expenditure required to do these things is called the basal metabolic rate (BMR) or resting energy expenditure (RMR). It's how much energy you would use if you spent 24 hours a day resting in bed.

Several factors, including sex, age, and body bulk can influence BMR. The best way to get an idea of your body's energy requirements is to use an online calorie calculator. [1]

You will need to know your BMR. The knowledge will help you to craft a weight loss plan that allows you to lose weight safely.

Physical activity requires energy. When your muscles are in motion, "metabolism" increases causing your calorie expenditure to rise above your BMR. The more active you are, the more calories you will burn.

Although it's possible to reach your ideal weight just by modifying your diet, it's best to increase your activity levels as well.

You need to burn 3,500 calories to lose one pound of body fat. That means, if your diet causes a calorie deficit of 500 calories per day, you would lose one pound of fat by counting calories per week.

To lose 2 1/2 pounds per week, your diet would have to be much stricter. It would need to force your body to consume fewer calories and break down enough fat to provide 1,250 calories per day. After a month, you would have reduced your body weight just by dieting.

However, this is easier said than done. To be successful, you will need to track your daily calorie intake in a food diary or weight loss app.

In all probability, this will involve lots of looking at food labels and weighing and measuring when you eat foods that are not distributed with nutritional information. The best way to do this is to use a food calorie calculator. https://caloriecontrol.org/healthy-weight-tool-kit/food-calorie-calculator/

To experience quick weight reduction via aerobic exercise, you would need to ensure your level of physical activity causes a calorie deficit of 1,250 calories per day.

Due to work and family commitments, most people don't have enough time to follow such a time-consuming exercise plan.

The best way to lose 10 pounds in a month is by constructing a weight loss plan that combines a low-calorie diet with a low to moderate-intensity exercise plan.

Walking is a good and healthy way to burn more calories per day without over-exertion. However, the amount of calories you burn by walking will vary according to your weight, your pace, and the distance you walk.

Nevertheless, the average person is likely to burn 100 fewer calories per mile during a walk.

If you were to take a 6-mile walk, 5 days per week, and keep a pretty brisk pace, you should be able to lose one pound per week just by walking. Combine that with a suitable diet plan and you should have no problem losing 10 pounds in a month. [2]

As with walking, or any other physical activity for that matter, the amount of calories you burn while running will be influenced by factors such as your weight and how far you go.

However, you should be able to burn at least 200-500 calories during a 30-minute run and up to 1000 calories in an hour.

If you spend 60 minutes running, three times per week, you should be able to lose 3-4 pounds per month.

According to the Harvard University website, people who weigh 125-185 pounds should burn 90-126 calories during a 30-minute weight lifting session. [3]

More vigours activity may increase this to up to 252 calories per 30-minute session.

However, 30 minutes is a very short weight training session. The average workout is more likely to be closer to an hour in length. During that time, it should be possible to burn 180 to 504 calories.

So, even if you were to only have three weight training sessions per week, you should be able to burn up to 6,048 calories per month by lifting weights and burn almost 2 pounds of fat. The important part is losing fat and building muscle.

Although it's easier to lose weight by running than lifting weights, every little helps and when muscle mass increases so does metabolism.

Taking a combination fat burner and appetite suppressant is likely to move you much closer to your goal of losing 10 pounds in a month. However, the best options can speed up the progress you are already making with diet and exercise.

The best diet pills can also make your weight loss journey less unpleasant by controlling your hunger pangs and removing additional hurdles from your path such as low mood and diet-related fatigue.

Hunger is one of the worst aspects of the weight loss process. In addition to being unpleasant, the hunger sensation can also be very distracting and can interfere with people's performance at work.

Diet plans that support weight losses of 10 pounds a month will inevitably cause worse problems with hunger than diet plans that aim to provide weight losses of 4-8 pounds a month.

It's very easy to give in to hunger. Too easy. That's why so many dieters fail to make progress. A good appetite-suppressing diet pill can make a world of difference.

Diet pills that fight fatigue can be very useful too. All the top options control hunger and fatigue. They increase metabolism too.

The best diet pills elevate BMR by providing thermogenic compounds such as red pepper capsaicin. They help you to burn extra calories regardless of whether you are sleeping or your body is in motion.

Although pills are in no way a substitute for diet and exercise, if you are using a good diet pill it will become easier to reach your goal of losing 10 pounds in a month.

People who set this type of weight loss goal often hope to lose weight fast because they "want to get in shape" for a wedding, vacation, or similar event that's scheduled to occur the following month.

There may also be medical reasons. For instance, overweight people are often advised to lose weight before they undergo surgical operations.

The need for speed may also be due to a health scare such as a suspected heart attack or the death of an obese family member or friend. Issues like these can provide a turning point that motivates people to lose weight fast.

Although it's generally easier to stick to the CDC's recommendation and only try to lose 1-2 pounds per week, a weight loss regimen that allows you to lose as many calories as 10 pounds a month is far from being a crash diet.

Crash dieters are more likely to shoot for their weight loss goals with losses of 10 pounds a week. This is extreme, unhealthy, and not recommended. Losing 2 1/2 pounds per week is a much safer weight loss goal.

One of the best reasons to lose weight is it improves health and increases longevity. When you attain and maintain a healthy body weight it can also improve your quality of life.

When you are overweight, it places extra strain on the heart. It places unnecessary strain on the joints as well and, should you fall over, you are more likely to get hurt.

Obesity also increases susceptibility to certain undesirable medical conditions such as sleep apnea and type-2 diabetes. [4]

Although there are plenty of reasons why it can be advantageous to shed ten pounds rapidly, there are also good arguments against this type of 30-day weight loss regimen.

Higher levels of fatigue and hunger are likely to be two of the main negative issues. However, as we have already pointed out, diet pills can be very useful for keeping both of these issues under control.

Setting a specific weight loss target and naming a date, may also prove to be very disheartening if you realize your rate of progress is unlikely to support your ultimate goal.

Unless you have a very specific need to lose weight by a certain time, you may want to move the goalposts and aim to lose 12 pounds in 5-6 weeks. It would make your life easier. Every pound lost is a step in the right direction, even if you are only moving forward at the rate of one step per week.

From the very first day, you need to plan for success and stick to your schedule. It's generally best to break things down and, instead of focusing on 10 pounds a month, aim for 2 1/2 pounds every week.

Create or buy a food journal and then log what you are eating each day. Be precise. Look at food labels and/or use an online calorie calculator to work out how many calories you are consuming a day.

If you are trying to burn extra calories with exercise, keep a training log as well and use an online calculator to work out your daily calorie requirement. Doing so will help you to plan a diet and exercise routine that will guarantee your weight loss success.

Step on the scales daily or at least every other day to keep track of your calorie consumption and progress. If you are behind schedule, decrease your daily calorie intake further or increase activity to help you gain more extra calories. Better still, consider doing both.

If you are on target, or ahead of target, your diet and exercise logs will show you how you have achieved your weight loss. Try to stick to the same calorie intake and expenditure moving forward, you are obviously doing things right.

The best diet pills can make your life easier by boosting energy and controlling hunger. They can also speed up your progress. There is nothing to be ashamed of if you decide to use a weight loss pill to help you. Plenty of other dieters are doing the same.

Processed foods often contain added sugars and fats that may slow your progress and make it harder to lose 10 pounds in a month. Choose plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, fish, and whole grain foods instead.

In addition to being lower in calories, such healthy meal options are also richer in nutrients and unlikely to contain chemicals or preservatives. They are healthier all around.

Many people do not drink enough water. This can make losing weight harder because the brain sometimes confuses thirst with hunger. [5]

Water also has a stomach-filling effect that can help keep hunger away.

It's also worth noting your need for water will be greater if you are exercising regularly and sweating a lot.

When you know how to do it, it's certainly possible to lose 10 pounds or more in a month. It's a somewhat ambitious goal but plenty of people have done it before.

As with most things in life, shooting for this type of weight loss target has its pros and cons. This article lists some of the most important ones along with some additional weight loss tips.

However, we are not encouraging you to lose 10 pounds in a month, though the fact that you have taken the time to seek out this information suggests that may be what you are planning to do.

Neither are we trying to discourage you from setting this goal and, although we have explained how you can lose 10 pounds in a month, we must point out an article like this is no substitute for professional medical advice.

In our view, all weight loss is good. It doesn't matter if the results come fast or slow. The only thing that matters is that you make progress. Nevertheless, if you choose to do so, you may be amazed at how much you can achieve in a month.

Best Way to Lose 10 Pounds in a Month - How to Lose 10 lbs in 30 ... - Dailyuw

A man who has vowed to eat nothing but McDonald's for 100 days has revealed that he has lost a total of 34 pounds and has lowered his cholesterol as he nears the halfway point of his experiment.

Kevin Maginnis, 57, from Nashville, Tennessee, has been chronicling his weight-loss journey on TikTok after announcing in late February that he would be ordering breakfast, lunch, and dinner from the fast-food chain for the next three months.

Per the rules he set for himself, he is only allowed to eat half of what he orders, but he has free reign to get whatever he wants, including dessert. He also adheres to eating just three meals a day without snacks and drinking water instead of soda.

The business coach, who uses the handle @bigmaccoaching, has gone from 238 pounds to 204 pounds in a little over six weeks with 56 days to go. His success has even inspired his wife, Melody, to try his McDonald's diet for herself.

'I'm never depriving myself. Im eating McFlurries, Im eating cinnamon rolls, Im hitting Big Macs, Im eating French fries,' he told Today. 'Im just delaying myself because Im going eat the whole thing. Im just not going to eat it all in one sitting.'

Maginnis has yet to stray from his eating plan, even when he celebrated his birthday on Tuesday. His goal is to lose 50 pounds by the time the 100 days are up, but he refuses to call the challenge a 'diet.'

He explainedthat he is focused on portion control and only eating when he is truly hungry, not deprivation, which has kept him from feeling bored with his meals or tempted to eat something else.

'Hunger, it turns out, is one of the best seasonings you can add to anything,' he said.

Critics, including medical professionals, have voiced concern that eating nothing but McDonald's would be damaging to his health, but he said he has significantly lowered his cholesterol thanks to his weight loss.

'There's a lot of people that were worried that my cholesterol would go up. Eating cholesterol isn't the problem,' he insisted in a recent video.

Maginnis explained that by getting rid of his obesity and eating smaller amounts, his 'cholesterol is going down.'

However, he isaware that what he is eating isn't particularly healthy, but his goal is to lose weight before changing his diet for the better.

'Eating different macronutrients that are going to help my brain function if Im dead, my brain function is not going to improve, so let's get rid of this [obesity] killer first,' he told Today.

To his surprise, his wife, Melody, has decided to follow in his footsteps. He noted that he is a 'smart man' and never suggested that she join him.

She did it on her own accord and has already lost 3.5 pounds in five days byeating half-portions of McDonald's meals. He has since started tracking her progress as part of his TikTok series.

'I think shes beautiful now so its just the health reasons [that are motivating us],' he said. 'We want to get into a better overall healthy weight.'

Maginnis went viral six weeks ago when he announced on TikTok that he would be eating only McDonald's for 100 days in a bid to lose weight.

'I woke up this morning and I weighed 238 pounds. It's February 21st, 2023, and I decided that that is absolutely unacceptable,' he shared at the start of his video.

'It's not as much what you're eating, it's the quantity that we're eating that really jacks us up,' he said, adding, 'I know many of you are gonna think I'm crazy, but let's find out.'

The clip has been viewed more than 2.3 times and has received over 3,600 comments that were a mix of supportive and appalled.

On the first day of his diet, he opted for a sausage, egg, and cheese McMuffin and a hash brown for breakfast. He only consumed half of the meal and saved the rest for lunch.

Dinner that night was half a QuarterPounder 'done like a Big Mac' and half a medium fry. He had bottles of water with all three of his meals.

His portions are relatively small, and he admitted on the second day that he was feeling the effects of cutting his calorie intake.

'One thing I'm noticing is I'm feeling a little more heat in my stomach,' he said of his growing hunger. 'I'm coining a new catchphrase: "Seek the heat before I eat."'

By the third day,Maginnis shared that he had lost three pounds.

He also got blood work done, so he could see how his fast-food diet was affecting his health in addition to the number on the scale.

'Can we go from French fries to fit guy?' he asked in one playful clip.

Maginnis has been posting daily videos documenting his experience, and at the end of the first week, he was down 10 pounds.

After getting his blood work back, he noted that the numbers were not great, but he believed that by losing weight, he would improve his stats even if he is chowing down on McDonald's day and night.

Ten days into the challenge, Maginnis revealed that he had lost a total of 12.5 pounds and was down to 225.5 pounds.

That same day, he appeared on theToday show to discuss his viral diet.

'It's absolutely working,' he told hosts Carson Daly and Sheinelle Jones.

Maginnis explained that was a wrestler and used to box in the military, so he has had prior success with cutting calories to 'make weight.'

'You have to get to that part of your stomach where you have some heat in your stomach,' he said. 'They call it hunger; I call it my incinerator turning on to burn off all the excess fat.'

Daly was curious to know why he had chosen to eat McDonald's for 100 days straight, especially after he confirmed that the fast-food chain was not sponsoring him.

'Im big [and] my name is Maginnis, so the nickname Big Mac has been thrown out at times. I figured, "Why not embrace it?" And I like McDonald's,' he said.

Jones had assumed he'd be eating nothing but salads, so she was admittedly surprised to see that he was dining on burgers and desserts.

Like many people, she wanted to know if he was consulting with doctors to see what this diet was doing to his insides.

'I have cardiologists that love it and cardiologists that hate it,' he shared. 'Just like the comments on TikTok.'

When asked about his pre-diet blood work, he noted that it was 'going in the wrong direction,' but that didn't scare him off his fast-food regimen.

'My belief is [I] will be down 50 pounds by the end,' he said. 'My health with be better, my blood work will be better and if you don't believe me, follow along.'

Maginnis'schallenge has reminded many people of the 2004 documentary Super Size Me, which chronicled Morgan Spurlock's attempt to eat only McDonald's food for an entire month.

Spurlock ate at the fast-food chain three times a day for 30 days. His physical and mental health rapidly declined, and he gained 24.5 pounds by the end of the experiment.

Maginnis was adamant that his version of the McDonald's diet would prove that portion control is what matters when it comes to weight loss.

On Wednesday, he celebrated being down 34 pounds with a sausage, egg, and cheese McGriddle for breakfast.

'Day 44, down 34 pounds, 4 pounds away from being in the wonderful 100s eating nothing but McDonald's,' he said before taking a bite of his sandwich.

I'm eating nothing but McDonald's to lose weight... with VERY surprising results - Daily Mail

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) and other types of aerobic exercise get a lot of attention when talking about exercise for weight loss. But strength training whether free weights or bodyweight-only may help budge the number on the scale, too.

Read on to learn how. Then use our four-week plan to get started with strength training for weight loss.

Like other forms of exercise, strength training challenges your body, which increases your calorie burn (compared with just sitting still). Weight loss happens when you burn more calories than you consume over a period of time. So if you pair strength training with a moderate calorie restriction, you may lose weight over time.

Speaking strictly about calories burned, aerobic exercise generally wins over strength training. According to estimates fromHarvard Health, a 155-pound person burns roughly 108 calories in 30 minutes of general weight lifting. That same person burns 252 calories, cycling at a moderate intensity for the same time.

But strength training can bolster healthy weight loss beyond the simple equation of calories burned, explains Mike T. Nelson, PhD, an exercise physiologist in Minneapolis. Only looking at [resistance exercise] in terms of calories in, calories out is a little too reductionist for my taste.

Research suggests that resistance or strength training is part of a weight loss program (along with calorie restriction or aerobic exercise) for overweight or obese adults, those interventions are more effective. Thats because strength training helps promote muscle growth, while reducing overall body fat, more evidence shows.

Typically, weight loss efforts (calorie restriction plus aerobic activity) cause people to lose muscle in addition to fat, Dr. Lyon explains. But when youre resistance training, youre building muscle, so youre preserving that strength while burning extra calories. Aerobic activities (running, jogging, cycling, and others) also strengthen the muscles youre working, but generally less effectively than resistance training does.

The real benefit of strength training for weight loss lies in the maintenance of lean tissue, says Gabrielle Lyon, DO, a functional medicine practitioner and the founder of the Institute for Muscle-Centric Medicine in New York City.

In short: When youre resistance or strength training as part of a weight loss plan, the pounds that you lose are more likely to come from fat mass than muscle mass compared with weight loss plans that include calorie restriction alone or just calorie restriction and aerobic exercise.

Why do you tend to lose more fat mass than muscle mass when strength training is part of a weight loss plan? Theres the fact that youre building muscle. Plus, muscle is metabolically active tissue that requires energy (calorie expenditure) to maintain. In contrast, fat does not, per apast report.

Losing muscle has the undesirable effect of lowering your resting daily calorie burn, which can lead to weight gain over time (unless youre accordingly limiting calorie intake), Lyon explains. In fact, muscle loss is a key reason many people gain fat as they age, according topast research.

Strength training can help you keep your metabolism up and prevent unwanted fat gain, Dr. Nelson notes.

In a systematic review and meta-analysis published in September 2021 in Sports Medicine, researchers gathered data from 58 research papers that used highly accurate forms of body measurements like body scans (these differentiate between fat mass and lean mass). Their findings reveal that people in the studies lost an average of 1.4 percent of their total body fat after five months of only strength training.

Those results are similar to how much you might lose through cardio. The strength training programs differed between studies, but participants trained for roughly 45 to 60 minutes per session, an average of 2.7 times per week.

More importantly, the muscle you build through strength training helps your body use nutrients from food. When you contract skeletal muscles, they secrete myokines, proteins that help with directing and partitioning fuel like carbohydrates (glyocgen and glucose), Lyon says.

Researchshowsthat resistance training improves insulin resistance, which when your cells dont respond to insulin, a hormone your pancreas makes to help regulate blood sugar levels. When your body cant respond to insulin, your body has to make more, causing insulin levels to stay elevated. Elevated insulin levels can result in weight gain and diabetes, per theCleveland Clinic. By extension, improving insulin resistance may help with weight loss and weight maintenance.

For weight loss specifically, Lyon recommends strength training for 45 minutes three or four days per week, and working hard enough where youre close to total muscle fatigue for the muscle group youre working at the end of your sets (or the feeling like you couldnt do one more rep). This doesnt mean you have to lift heavy, but you have to put in enough effort to feel like youre being challenged, she adds.

You can start with fewer or shorter strength sessions, if needed. However, aim to perform at least two full-body strength workouts per week, as outlined in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) physical activity guidelines. Opt for bodyweight, resistance band, free weight, or exercise machine workouts.

Add 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise (also included in the guidelines) per week for a balanced workout regimen.

Lyon also recommends incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) a few times a week (which can count toward the HHS aerobic exercise recommendations). High-intensity interval training is a very efficient way to move the needle compared with steady-state cardio, which ends up taking a lot of time, she notes. Try alternating a 1-minute sprint on a stationary bike with a 1-minute recovery until you reach 10 minutes.

Before you start training or change your workout routine, get checked by your health care provider if you have a preexisting condition like hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a heart condition, or another issue that may interfere with your ability to safely exercise, says Robert Waskowitz, MD, an orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist with Orthopedic Associates of Hartford in Connecticut. Your doctor can review your workout program and make suggestions in terms of what will be both safe and effective for you, he adds.

Once youre ready to begin, try this program approved by Lyon:

Day 1 45 minutes full-body resistance training plus 30 minutes cardio

Day 2 30 minutes cardio

Day 3 45 minutes upper-body resistance training plus 30 minutes cardio

Day 4 30 minutes cardio

Day 5 45 minutes lower-body resistance training plus 10 minutes HIIT

Dwayne Johnson Was Advised To Lose Weight and Quit ... - FandomWire

Considering his options. Andy Cohen responded to a fan who questioned his "praising" of Bravolebrities who've used Ozempic to slim down and admitted he's not always sure how to address weight loss.

The Bravo exec, 54, read a DM from a viewer during the Wednesday, April 5, episode of his SiriusXM Radio Andy show. The fan asked him to "stop congratulating" guests on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen for looking so thin and asking if theyre taking Ozempic.

According to the Superficial author, the message read: Tonight was the third Watch What Happens Live guest who Ive heard you praise for losing weight and inquiring about Ozempic.

The Missouri native didn't deny the accusation, however. "Well, you know what? This woman shes right," Cohen told listeners. During the Tuesday, April 4, episode of the Bravo talk show, Dolores Catania revealed that she has been taking semaglutide for weight loss for the past is weeks.

I wasnt going to come to the reunion looking any bigger than anyone else, so I got on the bandwagon, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 52, said, referring to the upcoming season 13 taping. The reunion is in two weeks. I do have a trainer."

Cohen, for his part, explained on Wednesday that he was the person who broached the topic of Ozempic with Catania. I said to [Dolores], You look great, and she said, Yeah, I lost weight. I go Ozempy? She said, Yep, you better believe it! the Most Talkative author recalled. I was happy that she told the truth about it, by the way, because there are so many people who arent.

The producer didn't actually congratulate the reality star, but he did tell her that she looked "thin" at one point. During his radio show, Cohen admitted that he's not clear on how to move forward when discussing weight loss and Ozempic usage with his WWHL guests.

Im trying to deliver the goods for my audience watching, he explained, adding that it can be a "slippery slope" to discuss the topic casually. I mean, if Dolores shows up looking 15 pounds lighter, I gotta find out how it happened.

Catania clarified that she is actually taking Mounjaro, which she described as being "another part" of the Ozempic world. When Cohen asked if she has been experiencing any side effects, she replied, [Im] just not hungry.

Another RHONJ star Jennifer Fessler, a "friend" of the Housewives recently hinted that she's been taking Ozempic or a similar drug during her own appearance on WWHL. "I did lose a lot of weight," she told Cohen in March. "I took peptides and I don't know if you've heard of medications associated with that that help people lose weight."

Cohen asked, "Like Ozempic?" The 52-year-old replied, "You said it, I didn't. But whatever works, here I am."

Fessler and Catania's costar Margaret Josephs also recently confessed to using a GLP-1 agonist injection like Ozempic. "I take them as a shot once a week, and that helps you lose weight and improves your metabolism," the fashion designer, 55, told Insider in March.
