Weight loss has attracted a lot of interest from scientists as the incidence of overweight and obesity keeps increasing, affecting adults and children, and losing weight is difficult. Scientific evidence confirms that losing extra body fat is hard and the risk of regaining the lost weight is high. They have estimated the proportion of individuals who lose weight and successfully maintain the weight loss to be as low as 1% to 3%.

Here is what some of the latest research says about weight loss

Avoid common weight loss diets

Many people struggle to lose weight because of the restrictive diets that are not easy to maintain. When they lose weight at all, they end up binging on unhealthy foods again. It is better to aim for health and get weight loss as a benefit.

Plant foods

A diet rich in fruits, vegetables and legumes has been found to promote health while providing less calories and it helps to lose weight fast and keep it gone. They provide the calories needed for energy but release it slowly, meaning that a person does not feel the sugar-high and the sugar crush that comes from high-calorie foods. The food is also rich in fiber which stays longer in the gut and gives the feeling of being full. Therefore, these foods prevent the need for high-calorie snacks and weight loss results.

Water

Scientists have discovered that drinking water before a meal leads to weight loss. Water gives the feeling of being full and leads to the consumption of less food. It also improves metabolism for up to 3 hours after a meal.

High-protein diet

It is said that avoiding breakfast cereals and having eggs or some other proteins will prevent consumption of too many calories leading to weight loss. Having a huge portion of protein in other meals also controls how many calories are being taken in. Vegans can get their protein from legumes such as lentils, chick peas and all types of beans.

High calorie foods

Evidence says people can cut back on calories and actually lose weight if they avoid sugared foods and refined carbohydrates. They can then eat small portions of complex carbohydrates such as sweet potatoes and whole grains.

Particularly its been found that high-fructose corn syrup leads to weight gain and even obesity, belly fat and too many triglycerides in the blood more than sugar. By avoiding all products containing high-fructose corn syrup, people can lose weight.

Fast foods

Scientists have found that people can achieve weight loss on fast foods if they choose foods that are low in sodium and calories. Such foods are easier to find in Mexican, Japanese, Korean and Chinese outlets.

Intermittent fasting

Intermittent fasting has been found to be effective for weight loss as the body is forced to burn fat for energy during the fasting period.

Healthy snacks

Eating healthy snacks such whole fruits, baby carrots and nuts has been found to aid with weight loss as this avoids empty calories in regular snacks.

Exercise

Exercise is work and it helps to burn calories and to increase metabolism. The best for weight loss is aerobic exercise which includes cycling, walking, jogging, stationary biking and swimming. Resistance exercise, such as weight lifting, has been found to increase metabolism, prevent muscle loss and even increase muscle mass.

Sleep

Sleeping for at least 7 hours per day has been linked to weight loss. That is because sleep is related to insulin, leptin, cortisol and ghrelin production all of which play a role in the metabolism of fat and the feeling of hunger. More sleep means less fat storage, less hunger pangs and less weight gain.

Food addiction

Getting professional help for food addiction helps to lose weight. If weight gain is due to inability to stay away from food and eating too much, then a person may be suffering from food addiction, an emotional and mental health problem.

Genes

Scientist say genes contribute to weight gain in only 10% of the population. They cannot be blamed for the high increase in overweight and obesity (about 2/3 of the population in the U.S. and U.K) in the past few decades. There is evidence that humans have more control over their gene expression and how it affects weight and they can lose weight through the choices they make.

Weight loss supplements

While people are doing all the right things to lose weight, diet pills, probiotics and fat burners have been found to help accelerate weight loss. One such supplement is Shed Fast which increases metabolism, controls cravings and appetite, increases energy and lifts the mood.

The bottom line

It is difficult to lose weight but it can be done successfully through a combination of a healthy diet, exercise, supplementing, sleeping well and getting psychotherapy.

This is What Research Says About Weight Loss - eNews 2.0

You cannot waste your life away because of food. There is more to life, Jake Sikora told himself. A 38-year-old commercial loan officer from Indianapolis, Indiana, hed been a chubby kid growing up, and after college, with too much fast food and almost no physical activity, he saw his weight climb.

He started avoiding the scale and refusing to look at himself in the mirror. Daily tasks were a challengethings like tying his shoelaces or climb a flight of stairs. He constantly felt tired, and he disliked how he looked. He shopped online for clothes because otherwise he couldnt find anything to fit him. Embarrassingly, he was told he was too large to ride a rollercoaster. And finally came the day when his doctor told him he had high blood pressure, diabetes, and sleep apnea. He was 35 and weighed 326 pounds.

That forced Sikora to confront himself and his relationship with food. Hed tried to lose weight before, with little success. He looked for help, and walked into his first WW (formerly Weight Watchers) workshop. There he learned how to focus on small, sustainable changes that would add up over time.

He started by walking around the neighborhood with his dog. It didnt feel like working out and it was something I enjoyed doing, he says. Hed never really thought of exercise as something he could enjoy. Once he got acclimated, he started going to the gym, doing 30 minutes of cardio three times a week. Today hes up to an hour in the gym, six days a week, doing a mix of cardio, weight training and core exercises.

Finding activities he could enjoy helped him stick with his regimen, but he also says, I have learned discipline is more important than motivation. I view exercise just as important as going to work, getting dressed in the morning, or brushing my teeth. Its simply a non-negotiable part of his routine now. I have realized that I am a priority in life, he says. Not only for myself but my loved onesI need to be healthy.

He started slimming down in February 2017, and reached his goal weight in July 2019. All told, hes lost nearly 140 pounds. I feel the best Ive ever felt, he says. I have new leg on life. The changes havent been just physical; he says, The best transformation has been internally. I have more confidence and self-love than I ever have before. He has a newly positive outlook on life.

Now, even though he never considered himself an athlete before, hes become an avid runner. Hes run 28 races since 2017, including 5 and 10ks, and half marathons. He plans to complete a mini triathlon soon, building on his success so far.

Looking back, Sikora wants to remind people it all begin with baby steps. He wanted to be healthier but didnt know where to begin, so he started small. Start with small changes and build up from there, he says. You will be surprised by how small changes will create big changes.

Going for Short Walks Every Day Led to This Guy Losing 140 Pounds - menshealth.com

WHILE 2019 was the year of keto and going vegan, it seems as though 2020 is shaping up to be the year of the Noom diet.

On New Year's Day alone, 55,000 people signed up to the weight loss plan - which claims to help you shed pounds easily and keep it off.

3

It's an app and personalised meal-planning service that already has more than 45 million users.

And studies have even shown that people who use Noom lose an average of 18 pounds or just over one stone in just 16 weeks.

But is it really worth downloading? Here's what you should know before you sign up to the app...

Noom is a health app designed by behavioural psychologists which claims to help users lose weight and keep it off.

It's targeted at millennials and says it has already helped 32,905 women in their twenties successfully reach their target weight.

It focuses on making easy, sustainable lifestyle changes rather than making dramatic and "restrictive" changes to your diet such as cutting out specific food groups or nutrients.

3

The app, which is like having a trainer, nutritionist and health coach all in one place, allows you to:

Noom states that the ideology behind the coaching and content is designed to "'trick' your body into building healthy habits, faster."

The website says it aims to help people "create healthier habits, reduce the risk of chronic health problems, reverse disease and foster healthier relationships with themselves".

Unlike many diets that can be restrictive, Noom actually encourages eating real, whole foods as well as snacks as often as possible.

And this can make weight loss more sustainable as it means users don't feel like they're ever really missing out.

Medical experts and studies have also backed Noom, with the British Medical Journal finding 64 per cent of Noom users have lost more than 5 per cent of their weight.

And Scientific Reports found that 78 per cent of Noom users sustained weight loss over nine months.

On top of this, Noom's own social media accounts show some pretty impressive transformations from users who have shed a significant amount of body weight.

For example, one couple Steve and Anne (pictured above) credited the app for helping them to blitz excess body fat and find their "healthy balance".

Users have also raved about the individualised coaching - since it provides a cheerleading team through your phone who can help you stay motivated with your weight loss journey.

The Noom app is not cheap and costs around 48 a month when you download it from theGoogle PlayoriOS app store.

Otherhealth and fitness apps apps - like MyFitnessPal - provide similar food tracking capabilities designed for weight loss free of charge.

It therefore might be worth doing the 14-day trial period and cancelling at any time during those two weeks.

On top of this, some people have found the one-to-one coaching "impersonal" and as if the coaches are "bots".

The coaches are also not available outside business hours which can make things tricky if you work long hours or want support outside the work day.

By far, the most popular forms of intermittent fasting are the 18:6, 16:8, and 14:10 time-restricted eatingplans, in which you abstain from food for 18, 16, and 14 hours per day, respectively. While breaking these types of fasts doesn't require quite as much planning as breaking an extended fast, there are still some general recommendations.

First and foremost, stick to whole foods and opt for a mix of macronutrients when you break a fastyou don't want a straight shot of carbohydrates (especially refined carbs) on an empty stomach.

"Definitely avoid carb-loaded meals and sugary drinks as they will cause a blood sugar roller coaster, raising your insulin levels and making you feel even more hungry," says Amy Shah, M.D., who uses intermittent fasting in her practice. "Additionally, having lots of sugar will make fasting for the next day even harder because your hunger hormones [like ghrelin] will be raised."

So what should you eat?"For a standard 16:8 plan, one could break a fast with a low-glycemic meal of choice," says Ali Miller R.D., L.D., CDE, registered dietitian and functional medicine practitioner. "If you're going to have carbs, ensure that they're balanced with protein and fat. A salad with protein, eggs with avocado and vegetables, a homemade protein shake, or a leftover protein and roasted veggies could all work as meal number one."

Portion size matters a bitparticularly when you get into the more intense time-restricted eating plans like 18:6 or 20:4. Even though you may be quite hungry when breaking your fast, particularly if you're new to IF, avoid eating a huge meal or you might overload your digestive system and experience symptoms like bloating. Typically, "hefty snack or small meal is best," says Miller.

Some specific foods you can mix and match to incorporate into your first post-fast meal include:

SUMMARY

For purposes of this discussion, a calorie can simply be defined as a unit of energy that is obtained from food.

If you eat food with more calories than your body needs for daily functions, the extra calories get stored as fat mostly, and you gain weight.

It is January, and many people make resolutions or set goals about what they want to achieve in the new year. Many people include a goal to lose weight, and when people think of losing weight, many of them think of jogging or 'hitting the gym.' Let us examine if this is really a good strategy for achieving weight loss.

Before we go on, I would like to say that exercise is indeed a good thing. Exercise helps your heart and lungs be healthy. The correct type of exercise strengthens your muscles and helps bone density. Exercise helps manage blood pressure. Exercise helps relieve stress and supports mental health, among other benefits.

Therefore, exercise is good and should be pursued regularly by everyone. However, in this article, we will examine using exercise specifically as one's main weight loss strategy. We will talk about calories.

For purposes of this discussion, a calorie can simply be defined as a unit of energy that is obtained from food. If you eat food with more calories than your body needs for daily functions, the extra calories get stored as fat mostly, and you gain weight. If you eat fewer calories than you need, your body uses previously-stored calories for energy, and you lose weight.

This is a simplified explanation, but it will do for our purposes. Now, let us do some calculations. Let us assume that you weigh 80 kg, and you want to lose 10 kg. It is said that a pound of fat is about 3,500 calories. A kilogram is, therefore, 3,500 x 2.2, which is 7,700 calories. Therefore, to lose 10 kg, the calories to be used up (or 'burned') through exercise is 7,700 x 10, which is 77,000 calories.

If you decide to start jogging to lose this weight, how many calories would you burn through jogging daily? I used an online calorie calculator to find out. If you jog for an hour and cover 8 km, you will burn about 697 calories in that hour. To burn a total of 77,000 calories, you will need to jog an hour each day for (77,000 / 697 =) about 110 days, while still controlling your eating to ensure that you do not consume extra calories, because then you would regain some of what you have jogged off.

If you jog this way three times a week, it will take you about nine months to lose 10 kg. In all this, we have not accounted for the time it will take for you to be able to build endurance to allow you to jog for 8 km in an hour, nor have we accounted for your body adapting to the jogging and therefore using fewer calories for each run. This is, therefore, an optimistic calculation.

So we can see three things from the above: First, by one losing 10 kg in 9 months, we see that exercise is a rather slow way to attempt to lose weight. Second, even while exercising, you still need to control your food intake, or you will lose weight at a slower rate, or even gain weight.

Third, to lose 10 kg in 9 months through exercise, you will need a rather high level of discipline, to both consistently maintain the exercise habit - three times a week for an hour each time - for nine months, while still controlling your eating for the entire period.

However, do not despair; if you want to lose weight, proper eating habits can yield satisfactory results faster and in a realistic manner. People lose even one kilo (or more) per week through controlling the calories they take in, rather than consuming them, then trying to burn them off.

Is jogging really effective for weight loss? - The Standard

Renaissance Periodization - while it may sound like you're taking an art history class, it's actually not. The diet and training program is one that puts an emphasis on maintaining muscle while decreasing fat or building muscle if you're too thin. However, the program brings in scientific methods to its diet, and training components ensure the best results. So, what exactly is it and how does it work? Find out.

According to the website, Renaissance Periodization is a diet program that is designed to either help you build muscle or to help you shed fat while maintaining your current muscle. The programs are designed with science in mind and combine the scientific principles with nutrition and training. Targeting your efforts for specific results is also a big part of the program, which places focus on what works and what doesn't.

Renaissance Periodization is broken down into two distinct programs. For men with 15 percent body fat or more and women with 20 percent body fat or more, the fat-burning program is recommended. For those under that percentage, the muscle-building program is recommended. For whichever program one is on, the diet lays out all of the meals for a particular day as well as the macronutrient amount for each meal and the timing of every single meal. While the diet can be strict - especially if you're looking for maximum results in a short amount of time - it can also be a bit more forgiving if you're not on a time crunch. However, adhering to the diet 100 percent will give you the best results you can have.

According to the founder, clients are to eat a variety of foods both for health purposes and to prevent the diet from becoming stale. The diet lays out a number of acceptable foods for each macronutrient (protein, carbs, and fats) and a list of low-carb veggie options as well. The program also lays out a number of macros per meal depending upon your schedule and when you train. In addition, it also lays out your diet around one training session per day, unless you choose otherwise. There is also an approved foods list for each category (lean proteins, vegetables, healthy fats, and healthy carbs), as well as a meal plan for vegans, so whatever your lifestyle, there are options developed for you.

Cheat meals, while uncommon, can be built into the program depending on the client and on the goals. Cheat meals may increase cravings, however, so the founders do not recommend it.

Nick Shaw, founder of the diet, says those who partake should be able to participate in at least one training session per day. However, clients that are newer to weight training will lift weights two to four times per week and more advanced clients are training as much as five to six times per week. The circuits are based around basic exercises, including squats, deadlifts, pressing movements, and pulling movements.

Renaissance Periodization is worth giving a shot, especially if you're not on a consistent schedule or work off hours. The routine not only enables people to be able to decide when they work out, which affects when and what they eat, but also helps even the most off-hours person slide into a healthy weight-loss routine. If you stick to it, the founders promise optimal results. However, unlike other diets (take the Whole30 for example), there are ways to build in cheat days for special occasions or days you really just need Taco Bell.

A weight loss surgeon has claimed that the reason diets often dont work is because we dont consider our bodys individual weight anchor, which is different for each person and is the weight our body naturally reverts to.

Appearing on This Morning, Dr Andrew Jenkinson, a bariatric surgeon at University College London, revealed how people can lose weight and keep it off by being aware of their bodys ideal weight.

He also stated that if people want to lose weight, they dont need to count the calories.

According to his theory, to lose weight you should decrease your insulin levels by decreasing sugar and refined carbohydrates, and eating healthy meals two or three times a day without snacking or dieting.

Dr Andrew revealed how he made the discovery after talking to patients who had put weight back on despite going on a diet.

He told Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes: There is emerging evidence that everyone has their own individual weight setting, so this is your own natural weight and it acts like a weight anchor so you can drift up and down a little bit.

You tend to be anchored to that weight, which is okay if its in the normal weight range, but if youre in the overweight range, it can be a problem. The further you try to diet yourself away from that weight anchor, the more difficult it gets.

He continued: Its a little bit like if you could imagine being tied by an elasticated rope to a weight anchor the further you get away, the stronger the pull back and our metabolism and the way our body works pulls us back to this particular weight.

The surgeon went on to explain how his findings are more of a lifestyle change over another diet.

Insisting that its not another quick fix to drop the pounds, Dr Andrew commented: So your weight setting is determined by your genetics which you cant change but its also determined by your internal hormones insulin and cortisol and various other things.

These are triggered by the sort of foods we eat. It has the same effect as a drug so if I treated you both with insulin or steroids, your weight setting would go even higher, he told Ruth and Eamonn.

If I took those steroids away, the weight setting would go down. The environment has the same effect. It almost acts like a proxy drug causing increase in insulin.

Responding to Ruths question about whether people should just stop dieting altogether, Dr Andrew replied: Some of those diets might work slightly if theyre long term lifestyle changes but if theyrw short calorie counting mechanisms to try and lose weight then youre going to rebound back up.

Recurrent low calorie counting is counterproductive.

Its like youre giving a programme to your brain that theres a famine so when your weight comes back to normal, it wants a little bit of extra energy and extra insurance to stop you losing weight during the next famine.

Instead, Dr Andrew suggested eating a mix of healthy foods and cutting out foods that are infused with artificial vegetable oils.

Its not about calories. its about the type of food and the stress environment.

In the long term, your body is in control. Your bodys metabolism the energy it burns it preserves a lot of energy to get you back up to your weight setting and that weight anchor.

So in order to change your weight anchor, as far as the food you eat, decrease your insulin level by decreasing sugar and refined carbohydrates, eating really good food, two or three meals a day and not snacking.

Theres no evidence that fat makes you fat. Vegetable oils tend to have a bad metabolic effect on you.

Fast food, processed food is infused with this artificial vegetable oils which increases your weight anchor.

Throw away the vegetable oil and cook with butter or olive oil.

Excerpt from:
Quick Bodyweight Workouts to Do When You Don't Feel Like Going to the Gym - Men's Journal

For many of us, January is all about giving things up: Maybe we're going to stop eating meat and embrace a plant-based diet. Or we're ready to kick excess sugar to the curb after a holiday season awash in sweets. Or we're committed to avoiding fast food.

Starting the year with noble goals for eating well is a modern rite of passage. But it's just as common to ditch those grand plans within a few weeks.

This year, how can we do it right? If we're pledging to make better food choices, which strategies can help us stick with them?

START SMALL

The consensus among experts is clear: It's tempting to begin with dramatic gestures, but the key to lasting change is setting goals that are small enough we won't scrap them by Valentine's Day.

Manageable, measurable goals can create long-term change, says Leila Azarbad, associate professor of psychology at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois. When people set lofty goals, they can get discouraged after a couple weeks.

"Our self-efficacy, that belief in our own ability, tanks," she says. "And that's a huge predictor: If you don't feel confident in your ability to make the change, you're going to discontinue trying."

Picture this, says Dana White, a sports dietitian and clinical associate professor at Quinnipiac University: You want to lose 20 pounds and you know that every afternoon you visit the office vending machine for a snack to boost your energy. So, begin packing a healthy afternoon snack -- not something punitive, but something healthier that you'll enjoy -- and have that instead of a vending machine candy bar.

It's a measurable, specific change that won't be unpleasant. And if it eliminates 200 calories, that shift will make a difference over the coming weeks and months. Once that new behaviour is in place, you can add another small but meaningful change.

The same thinking works if you're eliminating animal products: Rather than going cold turkey (cold tofu?), begin by replacing one dinner per week with a vegetarian meal. Plan it for a night when you won't be rushed and can make an appealing recipe, or budget for going out once a week to a vegetarian restaurant.

Then track that change for three weeks, says Anna Baker, assistant professor of psychology at Bucknell University, who researches the connection between behavioural factors such as self-management and health outcomes.

"You hear that it takes 21 days to create habit. There's debate about whether it's 21 exactly, but you need a certain amount of time of continuing to do something before it becomes a habit," Baker says. "Once you do kind of get used to that change and you're doing it regularly, then you can add in another thing."

If you make that one good shift for three weeks, congratulate yourself. Then maintain that behaviour and add another small change, like drinking more water.

It's tempting to try making a half-dozen changes all at once, White says. But by focusing on individual, small, unhealthy behaviours and "really identifying what the triggers are that lead to those behaviours," she says, people "can have a tremendous amount of success without torturing themselves."

BE PATIENT

If your goal is to lose 20 pounds, for example, it really will take four or five months -- and it should, says Alex Montoye, assistant professor of clinical exercise physiology at Alma College in Alma, Michigan.

Losing a pound a week is "really the maximum sustainable weight loss," Montoye says. Much as it surprises people, "2 pounds a week is pretty extreme."

So aim to lose 5 pounds over the next six weeks through small behavioural shifts, and measure your behaviour along the way. Apps and fitness trackers can help, as can a notebook where you list what you've eaten.

Researchers have found "that we are notoriously bad at estimating how many calories we're taking in," Azarbad says. "We tend to underestimate what we're eating, because we forget. When we're cooking, we taste the pasta sauce a few times and those are calories. Or we walk past our colleague's desk and they had a jar of M&M's and we took a few, but those add up. That can be the difference between you losing a pound a week and you not."

DON'T BE TOO HARD ON YOURSELF

Accept that mistakes are a normal part of building a new habit. If you know an event is coming up where you'll want to divert from your eating goals, accept that you may slip a bit then.

Aim for "consistency, not perfection," says Baker. "You have to plan in advance that you're going to screw up. We're not perfect."

ENLIST FRIENDS

Lastly, "tell everybody you know that you're doing this because social support is huge," Azarbad says.

"If you're going out to eat and they know you're trying to change your diet, they can help choose a restaurant that will accommodate you," she says.

And the need to save face may keep you on track.

"Once you put it out there on social media and you tell everybody that 'I'm going to do this. I'm going to lose 10 pounds by spring break,"' you feel that people are watching, Azarbad says. "We don't want other people to see us fail."
