Global Online Weight Loss Programs Market 2025 Potential Scope for Growth in This Pandamic: Atkins Nutritionals, Kellogg, Nutrisystem, Weight...

According to a new study, bariatric surgery and weight loss via calorie deficit support similar metabolic improvements in obese diabetic people. The findings of the study, Effects of Diet versus Gastric Bypass on Metabolic Function in Diabetes, appears in theNew England Journal of Medicine.

Researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine conducted a small study of 22 people to evaluate the benefits of calorie deficit dieting in the diabetics.

Eleven participants shed fat through dieting, while the other half recently had a weight loss through Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. Both groups reported significant success in weight loss by 18%.

The analysis of the results was done after six months. The study showed calorie deficit dieting had similar benefits in improving insulin sensitivity, beta-cell role, and insulin levels. They also found significant improvements in the 24-hour plasma glucose count.

Hailey Crean, MS, RD, CDCES, a certified dietician and endocrinologist in Newton, Massachusetts, did not take part in the study. However, she shares how the results are surprising for everyone, especially the medical community. They first used to believe Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery to play an independent role in improving metabolism in obese diabetics.

It is a common fact that a healthy physique reduces the risk of type II diabetes; some weight loss techniques offer more than that.

As per a 2012 study, people implanted with duodenal-jejunal bypass liner showed a significant reduction in type II diabetes.

In medical science, up to this date, weight loss surgery, including bariatric surgery that works on the small intestine and stomach, was considered as the best therapies in medicine to treat type II diabetes. Research proves those therapies more effective, which bypasses through gastrointestinal areas for relief in type II diabetes than the ones, which do not.

Despite the existing research, the researchers wondered if the shedding pounds with calorie-cutting would help improve metabolic conditions or not.

Research shows that even though a calorie-restricted diet does not involve any bypassing, it was able to serve similar benefits. Withal this research is small-based; it holds immense importance as it highlights the potency of weight loss in reducing the risk of diabetes, irrespective of the method used.

Understanding the fact that different weight loss techniques can work to give the same benefits, many people can choose and reconsider their decisions about managing their diabetes.

The American Diabetes Association confirms the greater prevalence of type II diabetes in obese people. In addition, obesity also poses a risk to other health areas like the heart. It increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, myocardial infarction, and hypertension.

However, the fun fact is that some determination and hard work can help reverse the condition effectively. Brittany Scanniello, RD, a certified dietician in Denver, Colorado, explains how only a small weight loss can show a significant reduction in the risk of type II diabetes.

She asserts that people with slow and steady progress may get similar positive changes like, with a rapid weight loss by bariatric surgery or a calorie deficit diet. Creen seconds her by highlighting how only a 5 to 7% weight loss can bring significant changes to metabolic syndrome.

Along with this, she also mentions dieting as insufficient for long-term weight loss. For its maintenance, it is important to address the concerns that lead to weight gain at the beginning. The feelings for food, things that prevent one from exercising, and weight fluctuations are other concerns to look over.

Diabetes: Is Weight Loss Surgery Effective Than Dieting? Or Do Both Offer Similar Benefits? - Health Writeups

As of 2019, Diabetes UK estimates 3.9 million people have been diagnosed with diabetes in the UK. The condition is a major risk factor for coronavirus, and according to Public Health England (PHE) one-third of people who died in hospital from COVID-19 had diabetes.

A new diet is now being offered on the NHS, which will first be rolled out to some 5,000 people suffering from the condition.

The new diet plan has shown promising results in trials, with NHS England stating almost half of the people who embarked on the diet saw their type 2 diabetes go into remission after a year.

Patients who are given access to the diet programme will be encouraged to follow a weight-loss plan based on soups and shakes.

READ MORE:Type 2 diabetes symptoms: The serious sign in your mouth

Patients who have been diagnosed with the condition in the last six years and meet other eligibility criteria will be given the diet products, and they will also receive support to increase their exercise levels.

However, the initiative will only be available in 10 areas of England to begin with.

Professor Jonathan Valabhji, NHS national clinical director for diabetes and obesity, said: "This is the latest example of how the NHS, through our Long-Term Plan, is rapidly adopting the latest evidence-based treatments to help people stay well, maintain a healthy weight and avoid major diseases.

"There has never been a more important time to lose weight and put their type 2 diabetes into remission, so it's good news for thousands of people across the country that practical, supportive measures like this are increasingly available on the NHS."

Bridget Turner, director of policy campaigns and improvement at Diabetes UK, said the charity is so pleased more people will have the opportunity to put their diabetes into remission.

She said: "We know that some people with type 2 diabetes want and need support from healthcare professionals to lose weight effectively, and now as these programmes are piloted across the NHS they will.

"People with type 2 diabetes who have put their diabetes into remission frequently tell us how it has changed their lives.

"We are so pleased to see that others will now have the same opportunity and hope that it won't be too long before more remission programmes are rolled out across the country."

The rise of type 2 diabetes is a major cause for concern in the UK, costing the NHS some 8.8billion a year in treatments - which is nine percent of the NHS annual budget.

Millions are also thought to be at risk of developing the condition in the future.

Unlike type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes is often preventable by adapting behavioural changes.

The condition is often linked with being overweight or inactive. But in some cases, it can be developed due to a family history of the disease.

The condition causes the level of glucose in the blood to become too high, and can cause symptoms such as excessive thirst, needing to urinate a lot and tiredness.

In some cases, diabetes can cause serious complications, such as problems with the eyes, heart and nerves.

And in light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, those with diabetes are identified as clinically vulnerable by the NHS, meaning sufferers are at higher risk if they catch the virus.

The announcement of the new diabetes diet comes after the NHS announced its new Better Health campaign earlier this year.

The scheme aims to encourage people to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle, to help tackle the current obesity crisis in the UK.

The NHS also offers a programme tailored to help those who are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, which is called the Healthier You: NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (NHS DPP).

For those interested in getting involved in your local scheme, contact your GP.

Global Weight Loss and Management Product Market 2020 Industry Trends, Forecast 2025 (Covid-19 Impact) Analysis By Top Vendors- Atkins Nutritionals...

Acai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) berries are one of the healthiest berry varieties in the world along with blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and others. They are about 1-inch (2.5-cm) round that grow on acai palms in the Amazon rainforests. Their dark purple skin and yellow flesh cover a large seed, while the pits are similar to those of apricots and olives.

Technically acai berries are drupes but are still considered a part of the berry family. They are high in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that are necessary for the body and are also known to aid weight loss, reduce bad cholesterol, and promote a healthy heart.

Acai berries are usually soaked to soften their outer skin and mashed to form a dark purple paste. The shelf-life of fresh Acai berries is a small window, hence these are largely exported in pured or powder form to add to meals, smoothies and more.

However, one must exercise caution when buying the canned pulp off the shelves at the supermarket as these might contain high levels of sugar used as preservatives, which in turn is counter-productive if youre looking to adopt a healthy lifestyle. a pre-processed pulp, check the ingredient label and make sure it doesnt have added ingredients.

Acai berries are also used in health supplements for added health benefits and to promote holistic health, improve immunity and also aid in fighting other lifestyle diseases including diabetes.

How to make an acai bowl?

Blend unsweetened frozen acai pure with water or milk and make a smoothie-like base to be used as toppings. Other sliced fruits and berries, chia seeds can also be added to make a healthy acai bowl recipe.

Granola or cereal can be used as a base too, however, do check its nutritional value and the calories count before going ahead with one.

Acai bowls can also be made using acai powder by blending it with a smoothie recipe.

Are acai berries used in beauty products?

According to WebMD.com, Some cosmetics and beauty products include acai oil because of its antioxidants. Acai oil may be a safe alternative to other tropical oils used in beauty products, such as facial and body creams, anti-aging skin therapies, shampoos, and conditioners. When acai oil is processed and stored long-term, the antioxidant levels remain high.

Acai berries against Covid-19

Canadian researchers are investigating the acai berry, a popular superfood, as a treatment to prevent Covid-19s most severe symptoms.

University of Toronto scientists Michael Farkouh and Ana Andreazza, who have studied the berrys effect on inflammation responses for nearly five years, are researching how it can be used to fight Covid-19.

Its a long shot, Farkouh told AFP. But acai berries are cheap and easily accessible for everyone, as well as safe, so it was worth trying.

The duo enrolled around 580 patients who have tested positive for coronavirus in Canada and Brazil, where the berry is natively grown. Results of the 30-day study are expected to be released at the end of 2020.

Growing evidence shows that COVID-19 survivors can suffer from long-term health effects, not least heart-related complications. New research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that many people who recover from the virus have heart inflammation (myocarditis). Of 100 survivors in the study, 78 had evidence of previous heart inflammation, and 60 showed ongoing inflammation at the time of observation.

This medical complication should worry us all. As of August 25, 2020, there were more than 23 million cases of the disease worldwide, 16 million recoveries, and more than 800,000 deaths. Using the JAMA study as a benchmark, we could conjecture that around ten million of those survivors have heart inflammation, implying a massive increase in the burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

NCDs were already killing far too many people before the pandemic arrived. In 2016, 54% of 56.9 million total deaths were due to at least one of the ten leading causes of deaths, starting with ischemic heart disease (the narrowing of blood vessels) and then stroke both of which are NCDs of the heart.

Myocarditis is a serious condition with life-threatening consequences. When the heart is inflamed, its ability to pump blood is reduced, and it may beat irregularly. In either case, the supply of blood reaching other parts of the body is reduced, raising the likelihood of stroke and other conditions.

Myocarditis is a serious condition with life-threatening consequences.

Moreover, several NCDs are themselves risk factors for COVID-19. According to the World Health Organization, the elderly and people with pre-existing medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, obesity, cancer, sickle cell disease, and coronary artery disease appear to be more prone to severe illness as a result of the virus.

Obesity is a major public-health problem globally, and tends to increase the risk for many other NCDs. Based on 2016 estimates, in 140 of 192 countries, at least 10% of the population is considered obese (compared to 36% in the United States, 28% in South Africa and the United Kingdom, 22% in France, 20% in Italy, and 9% in Nigeria). These obesity statistics may be a factor in the relative severity of COVID-19 across countries, helping to explain why some high-income countries have higher COVID morbidity rates than low- and middle-income countries.

The interplay between the leading NCDs and COVID-19 constitutes its own health emergency, and requires urgent attention. First, there needs to be an even greater focus on preventing community transmission in higher-risk populations. As the JAMA study shows, reducing the number of COVID-19 cases will also reduce the number of people with myocarditis after the pandemic has passed.

Governments and their partners in civil society must step up their efforts to prevent the virus from spreading in the first place. Public-health officials and media outlets should continue to emphasize the importance of wearing face masks, washing hands frequently with soap and running water, using hand sanitizer in the absence of clean water, and practicing social distancing of at least six feet (two meters) in public. If everyone were to adopt these practices, the number of new COVID-19 cases would likely fall dramatically, as would the number of people facing heart complications in the near future.

When the heart is inflamed, its ability to pump blood is reduced, and it may beat irregularly.

Furthermore, public-health authorities need to start devising interventions to provide lifelong cardiovascular support to COVID-19 survivors. Given the new data on heart-related complications, the broader pandemic response must include provisions for continuing care. Although such interventions may require the reallocation or reprioritization of existing resources, they would almost certainly be cost-effective when weighed against the costs of not addressing the additional NCD burden.

In fact, more attention should be focused on reducing the impact of NCDs more generally. The UKs experience offers lessons here. In 2018, the Scottish Shetlands authorized doctors to prescribe interactions with nature (hiking, bird watching, and so forth) as a means of preventing and managing NCDs. Similarly, the British government has pushed physicians to prescribe cycling as a way to address obesity. And through its Better Health Campaign, public service announcements encouraging weight loss, healthier eating, and physical activity will be running on television, radio, social media, and other channels. All countries with high rates of obesity should be considering similar programs.

Finally, the latest science points to the need for better geriatric care. The elderly are at increased risk of both NCDs and more severe complications from COVID-19. An analysis in July by the Kaiser Family Foundation shows that 80% of those who had died of COVID-19 in the US up to that point were 65 or older. Applying that rate to the US death toll as of August 21, it follows that around 139,500 of the 174,442 deceased have been elderly.

Meanwhile, more than three million Americans have now recovered from the virus, and among them are elderly survivors and other high-risk individuals who will need additional care, including home services. In Nigeria, the health-tech platform GeroCare provides affordable care to the elderly in the comfort of their homes through regular doctor visits. Its least expensive plan offers three home visits per month for just $50.

This approach to care needs to be scaled up significantly. The more we can reduce the heart-related and other complications of COVID-19, the more lives we will save.

COVID-19 survivors could suffer from heart inflammation, new study finds - World Economic Forum

Researchers looked in to the effect of transport distance on commercial broiler chickens at distances of 15 km to 90 km.

Research conducted in Brazil evaluated the temperature, relative humidity and ECI-enthalpy comfort index of commercial loads of broiler chickens at distances of 15 km and 90 km in the summer and winter (rainy and dry) seasons and their effects on body weight difference, mortality and bruising prevalence.

Long-term water and feed deprivation have been correlated with yield losses at slaughter, and factors related to the vehicle, such as vibration, impact and road noise, also represent considerable sources of stress with consequent losses of yield parameters. In addition, variations in climatic conditions during transport, such as changes in temperature, relative humidity and air flow inside the cargo bay, are important stressors for broilers.

The consequences of microclimatic factors are almost always described as a function of broiler performance at slaughter, such as carcass yield (quantity of meat) and carcass quality (such as the presence of bruises). These analyses also considered and evaluated the degree of compromise of the thermal comfort of broiler chickens during transportation. This, said the researchers, could be used as a criterion for choosing and improving common practices during pre-slaughter handling, such as the critical time for catching and loading, determination of the density of broilers per crate, and wetting of the cargo.

The objective of this study was therefore to evaluate the microclimate of commercial shipments of broiler chickens transported over different distances during the rainy and dry seasons and the effect of microclimate on slaughter weight, body weight loss, mortality rate and occurrence of bruises on broiler carcasses considering the crate position.

In terms of comfort, the rainy season was the most critical period for broiler transport, resulting in the highest ECI. For example, in the rainy season and at a distance of 90km, the highest ECI was ranked in the lethal zone. Broiler chickens presented a higher body weight difference when transported over longer distances but crate positions with higher ECI in the load did not reflect significant body weight loss and mortality.

Thus, load microclimate can compromise broiler chicken welfare without necessarily impair broiler productivity. The prevalence of bruising on carcasses was not affected by the interaction between season and distance. Possibly, this prevalence can be associated with the management of the broilers during the breeding period. Broiler chicken performance, during transport, can also be related to road conditions, being hard to evaluate the actual impact of seasons and distances on animal welfare.

This study was published in PLOS ONE.

Effect of transport distance and climate on broilers - Poultry World

Young people with chronic health conditions cope with all of the usual challenges of growing up making friends, changing schools, adapting to new situations, developing a sense of self, and dealing with interpersonal conflict. But they also have to deal with the challenges of their illness.

Young people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a group of chronic conditions that includes Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis, have to deal with unpleasant symptoms, intrusive treatment and uncertainty. Typical symptoms include diarrhoea, abdominal pain, weight loss, blood in their stools and fatigue. The disease can go into remission, but there is no cure and flare-ups can result in hospital stays and missing school or work.

Findings from our recent study on mental health among young people with IBD show that when experiencing symptoms, some young people feel negatively about their friendships because they are embarrassed about their condition. And we found that this can lead to loneliness along with depression and anxiety.

Many young people with IBD choose to conceal their diagnosis from friends and colleagues. Our study found this is often out of a desire to present themselves as normal along with wanting to keep health issues private for fear of being judged.

Read more: Young people suffering chronic pain battle isolation and stigma as they struggle to forge their identities

Being diagnosed with IBD can create an abrupt shift in a young persons expected biography, derailing their plans and expectations of life. Challenges to our identity are difficult to manage at any age, but can be particularly hard for young people as they transition towards adulthood.

Some young people we talked to said they feared being stigmatised because of their condition which has been shown to happen to adults with IBD. This can be a key concern for young people with IBD, particularly just after diagnosis and during major life transitions such as moving schools, going to university, or starting a job.

In our study, all of the young people had told at least one friend something about their IBD. Mostly their decision to tell had been their choice. But, visible indicators of their condition, such as a nasogastric tube, meant several young people felt compelled to disclose.

For such long-term chronic conditions, disclosure is ongoing and young people must make decisions throughout their life about what to disclose (or not) as they meet new people and enter into new situations. And although the social taboo of talking about bowels is being challenged, there is still a strong sense that toilet habits are awkward to talk about.

Starting a conversation about IBD was described as tricky and young people had to judge who they could trust typically close friends and how much to share. They generally avoided going into too much detail, or making a big a thing about it but also wanted friends to know it isnt just an upset stomach as one young woman explained:

Its hard to explain colitis, its the hardest thing in the world, still now after so many years. Its not just an upset tummy, its the whole body and lots more complications and medication.

Some young people told stories of negative reactions from friends arising from misconceptions about IBD. Some friends worried they could catch IBD. Others were scared by the word disease or did not want to be friends with someone who was different to them. Some young peoples friendships were severed. Yet many found their friends to be supportive and their friendship ties strengthened.

By talking about their experiences and sharing images of previously hidden aspects of treatment such as their stoma bag young people are breaking down taboos and reducing the sense of isolation that can come with having a chronic health condition.

But while challenging social stigma is essential, our study also shows how important it is for young people with IBD to look after their mental wellbeing and friendships can be a key part of this. This is why weve worked with young people to come up with the telling my friends resources, that will hopefully help other young people with Crohns or colitis talk to their friends about their condition.

Its also important to highlight that our findings show that despite the struggles young people with IBD experience, none of them wanted to be or felt defined by their condition. They have the same concerns, aspirations and desires as other young people, and ultimately just want to be seen as normal whatever that might look like.

'I don't want my friends to know' young people on growing up with Crohn's or colitis - The Conversation UK

At the beginning of 2020 (which feels like forever ago), Rebel Wilson declared it her Year of Health. Now, eight months later, shes showing off her progress, and she looks incredible.

On Aug. 27, the actress got dolled up in a blue midi dress to attend a School of St. Jude fundraiser. Her Instagram post detailing the look garnered nearly a million likes, and all the love from her fans and Hollywood friends.

This content is imported from Instagram. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

Werk. You delicious babe!! Octavia Spencer commented. If I could like this picture numerous time[s] I would, Ruby Rose wrote. MY GOD WOMAN! Her trainer, Jono Castano Acero, added: Sweet baby Jesus!!! You look amazing

Fans were inspired by her journey. You were beautiful before, but you are radiating so much light from your heart and it shows!!! one person wrote. You are inspiring me to take charge of my health!! another replied. One thing you did not lose and makes you even more beautiful is your Good Soul.

Wilson later shared a second post (and another fab angle of the fundraiser look), thanking followers for all of the kind words. Thanks for all the love so far on my Year of Health journey. When I was reaching for the candies last night after dinner I thought to myself hmmmm...better not and had a bottle of water instead, she wrote. [18 pounds] to go until I hit my goal - hopefully I can do it by the end of the year.

In a now deleted Instagram post, she established her goal weight as 75kg's or 165 pounds. And career wise am trying to get one of my movies into production before the end of the year," she added. "Both of these things are requiring a daily effort and theres constant set backs - but I'm working hard."

Wilson has shared lots of moments along the way, including hiking shots, workout clips, and additional progress photos. According to People, shes following The Mayr Method diet to lose weight, which is a restrictive program that claims to achieve weight loss by improving gut health.

"The diet is centered around stopping snacking, reducing intake of gluten and dairy, and chewing foods for a longer amount of time," Amy Gorin, M.S., R.D.N., a registered dietitian in the New York City area recently told Prevention.com. "The eating plan is focused on high-alkaline whole foods."

Whether or not its the healthiest way to lose weight is murky, Gorin said, because theres not enough research available. Instead, for long-term weight loss, she recommends a whole-foods, plant-based diet. It's sustainable, helps you to feel energized, and doesn't completely restrict any foods you love," she explained. "Mindful eating and mindfulness-related activities such as yoga and meditation are also helpful in becoming more in touch with hunger levels, feelings, and so on."

Rebel Wilson Stuns in Blue Dress, Giving Update on "Year of Health" Weight Loss Goals - Prevention.com

Nearly half of American adults try to lose weight in a given year, yet up to 80 percent of those who do will put at least some of it back on. Lately, theres been an anti-diet movement among healthcare professionals that promotes the idea that people should stop trying to pursue weight loss.

There are valid reasons for this stance. While a high BMI may be linked to a higher risk for diseases, like insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, studies have found that body size alone isnt the best marker of health. Plus, some studies suggest that setting aside your weight-loss goals can lead to improvements in your self esteem, mood and eating behaviors (like portion control). So, should you stop trying to lose weight? In nutshell: Not necessarily.

Dr. Robert Kushner, the medical director of the Center for Lifestyle Medicine at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago, a professor of medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and author of the book, Six Factors to Fit: Weight Loss that Works for You!, told TODAY that while a higher body weight isnt always linked to poorer health outcomes, excessive body fat does present a health risk to many people. He explained that decades of science demonstrate that a very high body weight is linked to poorer health outcomes, including dying prematurely.

One study that modeled the death rates of 4,000 people with heart disease or diabetes found that as weight crept up, lifespan appeared to shorten. Compared to those defined as having a healthy body weight, people who were overweight could lose about three years from their lifespan; obese individuals could die up to six years sooner; and very obese individuals could lose up to eight years from their lives, according to researchers.

Even people who are very overweight and healthy at the moment may be at increased risk for more serious problems over time. One study that looked at the health records of 3.5 million people, 15% of whom were categorized as obese and healthy (meaning they didnt have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes) found that over five years, these people were 49% more likely to develop heart disease and 96% more likely to develop heart failure compared with their healthier-weight counterparts.

Dr. Kushner emphasized that there are a lot of similarities between body weight regulation and blood sugar or blood pressure regulation in the sense that there are biological, social, behavioral and economic factors that contribute to dysregulation. When there is a health risk, whether thats due to excessively high body weight or blood pressure, available treatment options should be discussed, he said. A balanced, calorie-controlled diet is one such option and that medications and surgery may be useful when needed, he said.

But what about weight re-gain? Dr. Kushner pointing to the landmark Diabetes Prevent Program explained that even if youve lost weight and then regained some of it back, you may still be better off. The study found that healthy eating and exercise could reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by at least 58% among people with prediabetes and 10 years later, even despite some weight regain, people in the lifestyle intervention program reduced their risk of developing diabetes by 34%.

If you want to pursue weight loss, here are four things you can do:

The rate and amount of weight you lose is highly individual and there are no guarantees youll reach the weight you want. But losing just 5% of your weight or 8 pounds for the average 170-pound woman can lead to health improvements.

Rather than focusing on a goal weight, focus on eating habits within your control. For example, swap less healthy packaged foods for healthier versions, make it a goal to eat veggie-filled meals, kick your soda habit, drink more water, trade your refined grains for whole grains, develop an awareness of healthy portion sizes and aim to eat a balanced mix of food groups (mostly veggies, with some protein, fat and carbs) at meals. These types of eating behaviors can promote weight loss without you having to fixate on it.

Whether you fall into the anti-diet camp or not, fad and restrictive diets arent helpful. These plans are hard to follow and they dont help you develop long-term, balanced eating habits or the skills you need to address issues within your food environment things like meal planning or dinner with friends. They also dont teach you how to manage stress and emotional eating in a healthy way.

In his book, Dr. Kushner explains that managing weight involves a mix of strategies like these, along with gaining an appreciation for how your body works, for example, by becoming more aware of the types of foods that are more filling, like high-fiber veggies and whole grains as well as lean proteins.

Clearly, health isnt just about your weight or what you consume. Along with balanced eating, its important to build other key habits into your life. These practices can have a positive impact on your weight and well-being.

Healthy habits include:

A review study published in 2019 that analyzed 67 studies on people who had successfully maintained weight loss found some commonalities among the pool of people.

Their maintenance habits included:

Many people can healthfully pursue weight loss, but for some people weight-loss efforts can be destructive.

Signs to watch out for include:

If pursuing weight loss triggers these or any other signs of disordered eating or exercise, seek support from a mental health professional or registered dietitian who specializes in intuitive eating or eating disorders.
