Vegans are wary of Burger Kings Impossible Whopper after controversy over cooking process(Photo : pexels.com)

Who is going to be more excited than vegans?

Nowadays, vegetarians have cheered as many restaurants add plant-based protein to their varieties.

But when Burger King launched its no meat Impossible Whopper, especially classified as vegan food last Thursday, some plant-based eating individuals are not sure about it.

The issue started for about a week ago when Chris Finazzo, the chain's U.S. head, told Bloomberg that the said product would be cooked on the same broilers where chicken and beef are prepared. Vegan lifestyle is not only about the ingredients contained in the food but also how it is prepared.

Vegans and vegetarians do not want their food to come into direct contact with meat during the cooking process.

One representative for Burger King said that the food chain has not changed the process of cooking the newest variant.

The customers can request their Impossible Whopper to be cooked on a different broiler than the meat. But vegans and vegetarians are unaware of this option making them unsure if they still want to try the product.

But it is still given that vegans still go to coffee shops, restaurants and grocery stores that serve non-vegan items.

Those who refrain from eating meat for religious causes may monitor more strict rules when it comes to cross-contact with meat.

Well, the company's arch rival, McDonald's offers a vegetarian-friendly burger. So in order to keep up in the competition, cooking the Impossible Foods' burgers, beef patties and chicken on the same broiler makes it more efficient for Burger King to give its customers the Impossible Whopper.

At the end, this may not be the best option for vegans and vegetarians but for omnivores looking for ways to cut down their meat consumption, this could be the best way to move forward.

Here are three science-based reasons why people go vegan:

1. A vegan diet gives more nutrients

Switching from a typical Western diet to a vegan diet will make you eat whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans, peas, seeds, and nuts.

Cutting meat will force you to rely all of your nutritional needs on plant-based food. This is very healthy in a way that vitamins and nutrients can be absorbed directly from the food you consume.

2. It will help you lose excess weight

Fast food chains that offer varieties of unhealthy meat products are one of the most common causes of obesity.

Many people are converting their diet to a plant-based diet hoping to shed those excess fats.

Researches prove that vegans tend to be thinner than the meat eating individuals. Plant-based diet can also help you lose weight faster than other diet that includes meat products.

3. Vegan diet lowers blood sugar and improve kidney health

This diet benefits people with type-2 diabetes and weakening kidney function. It is proven that going vegan improves blood sugar levels in diabetic patients than those diets from the America Diabetes Association (ADA), National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP), and American Heart Association.

Going vegan comes up with many reasons. Either because of health conditions, peer pressure or restrictions of religion, people should respect each other on what people eat as long as it's not immoral to the society.

Weight loss is not always easy to achieve and slimmers may worry they will be left feeling hungry and unsatisfied. However, dieters do not have to go without a mid afternoon treat when getting into shape, experts revealed. These are the top five snacks to help weight loss.

Protein is the most satiating macronutrient and is the hardest to store as body fat. You even burn calories digesting it.

Instead of tucking into high carb treats, slimmers can pick from a list of healthy foods to keep them satisfied.

Fat-free yogurt with raspberries and nut butter - 210 calories

They said: This nutrient-dense swap is not only voluminous - so youll feel fuller - its much higher in protein. It includes a great source of healthy fats and the berries bring added fibre. This is a great snack for curbing sweet cravings!

DON'T MISS

Dark chocolate - 121 calories

They said: I get all my clients to immediately switch from sweets and bars of milk or white chocolate to high-quality dark chocolate, roughly 70to 85 percent.

With good quality dark chocolate, a little goes a long way, so harder to overconsume, and it has a lot of healthy antioxidants.

Dark chocolate is especially beneficial for my female clients when they are nearing their time of the month and cravings are through the roof a little dark chocolate can squash those urges right away.

Biltong - 74 calories

Biltong brings all the convenience, but far less calories than its potato equivalent, the experts revealed.

This slow digesting protein will keep you fuller for longer and help stabilise blood sugar levels.

Cherry tomatoes - 26 calories

Cherry tomatoes are a great swap to get a sweet fix, the trainers explained.

Packed full of fibre but low in calories, they will help curb sweet cravings and give you that feeling of fullness. Great for desk-snackers or social events like cinema outings.

Low calorie jelly - 4 calories

They said: Its so easy to pick up a yoghurt from the fridge for a low-calorie dessert, but remember that all those 100 calorie snacks here and there soon add up if youre not paying attention.

Want to lose weight? Heres what you can do to lose belly fat easily in 2 weeks - Times Now

When it comes to losing weight, exercise and diet both play an important part in getting results. Making simple changes to the diet plan can be enough to help dieters lose weight and cut back on fat. Slimmers must ensure they eat foods high in protein to see the best results, Cecilia Harris, celebrity PT and co-founder of online fitness, nutrition and health platform, Results with Lucy, explained.

If you want to lose fat you need to burn more calories than you put in. In other words, create a calorie deficit.

When doing this, dieters must be mindful with what foods they cut out and eat foods high in protein.

Cecilia explained: Upping your protein intake will promote weight loss and keep you feeling fuller for longer.

If hoping to burn fat, slimmers will still need to eat the right nutrients when cutting back on calories.

DON'T MISS

Making small changes and swapping unhealthy habits will help dieters on their way to a tone midriff.

You still need to make sure you are getting all the right nutrients so really its about eating smart and making sure what you eat has nutritional value and is not wasted calories," Cecilia added.

Simple changes can make a big difference like cutting down portion sizes or swapping a milky coffee for green tea.

For each person the calorie deficit will be different depending on variables like your height, weight, gender and how active you are.

Dieters hope to lose fat quickly can achieve their goals by upping their protein intake and cutting back on unhealthy calories.

However, the trainer warned this is not for everyone and those already eating healthily might not need to cut back.

Cecilia added: I dont believe that day to day creating a calorie deficit is necessary if you are living a healthy, balanced lifestyle however, if you are looking to get that extra ab definition then creating a calorie deficit can work.

Teens and young adults with anorexia are at risk of life-threatening illness even if their weight falls within a "normal" range.

That's the conclusion of a new study that looked at "atypical anorexia," or cases in which patients show all the symptoms of anorexia with the exception of low body weight. In the past, these cases were considered less severe than typical anorexia cases, but the new study found that both types show the same signs of severe malnutrition. "Patients with atypical anorexia are just as sick, medically but they may be even sicker, psychologically," said Dr. Neville Golden, a professor of pediatrics at the Stanford School of Medicine and co-author of the new study. Although recognized in the diagnostic manual for mental health disorders, the DSM-5, atypical anorexia may remain underdiagnosed, Golden said.

"The assumption is that doctors in the community are not recognizing it," he said. The oversight may place patients at risk of cardiac arrest, bone degradation and even death, Golden and his colleagues found.

The new study, published Nov. 5 in the journal Pediatrics, shows that there's no connection between an anorexic patient's weight and the actual severity of their condition. In the end, the number on the scale matters far less than the sheer amount of weight patients lose over the course of their illness both normal-weight and underweight patients fare worse the more weight they drop.

Related: Understanding Weight: BMI & Body Fat

"There's no weight or BMI that equals [an] eating disorder," said Dr. Casey Cottrill, the medical director of the eating disorders program at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, who was not involved with the study. Over the last five to 10 years, the number of normal-weight people hospitalized for anorexia treatment has spiked, she said. Recent studies estimate that one-third of patients admitted to hospitals for anorexia treatment are of normal weight. In both atypical and typical cases, the signs of malnutrition appear the same, but patients of normal or above-average weight may suffer longer before being noticed.

In light of this, doctors must watch for signs of disordered eating and malnutrition in all patients, regardless of size, Cottrill said.

Although atypical anorexia has gained recognition, still, "when one thinks of malnutrition, one thinks of low weight," Golden said. To learn whether low-weight anorexic patients actually fare worse in clinic, Golden and his colleagues organized the largest, most comprehensive assessment of normal-weight adolescents with anorexia to date.

The study compared 50 teens and young adults with atypical anorexia with 66 patients who met the traditional diagnostic criteria, meaning their weight fell below 85% of what would be expected for their height and age. The participants ranged in age from 12 to 24 years old and received treatment for their disorders during the study. More than 90% of participants were female. (Anorexia is about 3 times more common in females compared with males, according to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA).)

The authors compared the patients' current weights, histories of weight loss and vital signs; and found that regardless of participants' weight at admission, those with more dramatic weight losses appeared more severely ill.

Patients who lost a large amount of weight, fast, displayed the lowest heart rates among those in the study. In fact, for every 2% increase in the rate of weight loss per month, patients' heart rates measured 1 beat per minute slower in the hospital. A dangerously low heart rate points to a larger problem: poor nutrition leaves the heart with too little fuel to pump properly while also forcing the body to break down heart tissue for much-needed energy, according to NEDA. Clinicians usually hospitalize patients whose heart rates clock below 50 beats per minute, as their condition can quickly deteriorate into complete heart failure, Cottrill said.

Related: What Is Mental Health?

Patients with atypical and typical anorexia showed similar dips in other critical measures of health. Both groups had dangerously low blood pressure and became dizzy when moving from lying down to sitting up or standing. Both groups showed deficiencies in key electrolytes such as potassium, phosphorus and magnesium nutrients that help vital organs like the heart running smoothly. The patients who lost the most weight, or had been losing weight for an extended period, had the lowest electrolyte levels.

All female patients who had begun menstruating stopped having regular periods, meaning their bodies were no longer producing enough estrogen to maintain their normal cycles. Without estrogen, the growing patients' bones could not absorb calcium as they should during puberty, Cottrill said.

Overall, both groups of patients appeared similar on all counts except one. Those with atypical anorexia actually ranked worse on a questionnaire designed to measure the severity of their eating disorder psychopathology. The poor scores suggest that those with atypical anorexia may be more fixated on losing weight, restricting their food intake and burning off calories than those with typical anorexia. Anecdotally, the patients seemed "very fearful of getting back to their [original] weight," Golden said.

Future research should investigate the best treatment for cases of atypical anorexia, particularly cases in which patients are overweight or obese, since very little data exists in this area, Cottrill said. Weight gain normally comes along with both the physical and psychological treatment of anorexia, but with overweight patients, it's difficult to gauge how much weight they need to regain. More research must be done on how different bodies react to malnutrition and how best to treat patients of different sizes, Cottrill said.

In addition, when treating obesity, doctors must learn how to help people lose weight sustainably, without resorting to drastic measures, Golden said. By monitoring patients more closely, perhaps physicians can catch poor habits before they fester into a full-fledged eating disorder, he suggested. The first step, of course, is to raise awareness of what disordered eating looks like.

"I think there's a lack of awareness of atypical anorexia nervosa, even among clinicians," said Dr. Avinash Boddapati, a child and adolescent psychiatrist in the Northwell Health network, who was not involved with the study. As a psychiatrist, Boddapati said he can address the underlying emotional distress and harmful coping mechanisms that lead to disordered eating. But to tackle the problem head-on, pediatricians and parental guardians need to work together to monitor signs of atypical anorexia.

"The big take home message is to focus, not just on the weight, but on the rate of weight loss," he said.

Psychiatrists can also screen for rapid and extensive weight loss in their patients, "even kids [who fall] within a normal weight range," said Dr. Peng Pang, an adolescent psychiatrist at Staten Island University Hospital in New York. First, mental health professionals should ensure that their patients are physically stable, and refer them to a hospital if their health may be compromised, said Pang, who wasn't involved with the study. Then, once the patient's vital signs are restored, psychiatrists can work with patients to find new, sustainable coping mechanisms.

"Regardless of the body weight, I think the message is that you have to intervene, immediately and aggressively," Pang said.

Teens with Anorexia May Be 'Dangerously Ill' Even if They Are Not Underweight - Livescience.com

Intermittent fasting is quickly becoming a popular dieting trend. You can't really call it a diet though, because it's not, it's more of a lifestyle or an eating pattern. Diets like low carb, paleo or weight watchers will tell you what to eat, whereas intermittent fasting does not. The only restriction that intermittent fasting places on you is when you can eat.

Intermittent fasting involves restricting eating from anywhere between 12 hours to 36 hours in a row. There are a few methods but the most popular intermittent fasting patterns are the 16/8 method and the 5:2 method. The 16/8 method means that you fast for 16 hours a day and eat for 8 of them. If you have your first meal at 11 am, you should eat your last meal no later than 7 pm. If you have your first meal at 8 am, you should eat your last meal no later than 4 pm. The 5:2 involves fasting for 24 consecutive hours on 2 non-consecutive days each week. This allows you to eat normally the other 5 days of the week. When fasting during the 2 nonconsecutive days, you can eat something, but it's recommended that you stay under 500 calories is you're a woman and 600 calories if you're a man.

Another method of intermittent fasting, the eat-stop-eat is similar to the 5:2 method but dictates that you only need to fast for one day per week rather than 2. The more intense methods are the alternative-day-fasting method where you fast every other day and the warrior diet where you eat raw fruits and vegetables throughout the day and eat a huge meal at night. When following the warrior diet, eating is typically restricted to a 4-hour window of time. While fasting you can drink as much water as you want. You can also drink things like coffee, tea or any other beverage as long as they're not sweetened and has zero calories.

So now that you know what it is, you're probably wondering is it effective and what are some of the benefits? Proponents of intermittent fasting say that the benefits are numerous. The first benefit that is usually what makes people consider it in the first place is the possibility of weight loss. One of the main reasons it is believed that people lose weight while following this regimen is simply because you're not eating as much. If you're only eating for 8 hours in a day or drastically restricting calories one or two days a week, you're greatly reducing your caloric intake.

Assuming you're not binge eating or making up for lost time when you can eat, the calories saved from these missed meals may be all that you need to kick start weight loss. You may experience slower weight loss when intermittent fasting than with weight loss diets that are geared towards fast results but if you're able to make it into a lifestyle, you may experience long-term weight loss and maintenance rather than the roller coaster weight loss that most fad dieters experience.

Intermittent fasting also has many health benefits including reducing the risk of Type 2 diabetes. One of the highest risk factors of diabetes is being overweight. Since intermittent fasting can help with weight loss, it can help to reduce the chances of getting Type 2 diabetes or reverse the effects of the disease. Intermittent fasting has been said to help with heart health as well. It has also helped in the reduction of blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides (a type of fat that increases the chances of certain types of heart disease) and heart rate in both animals and humans.

Intermittent fasting has been linked to improved brain health and studies performed on animals have shown that intermittent fasting may lead to better learning and memory capabilities in mice. Other studies have shown that intermittent fasting can help to suppress inflammation to the brain which can help prevent certain neurological disorders like Alzheimers, Parkinsons, and strokes. Intermittent fasting has also been linked to reduced risks of cancer but more research needs to be done with humans before researchers, scientists and medical professionals can confidently speak to these benefits.

You can technically eat anything that you want when intermittent fasting BUT if you're looking to reap some of these benefits and get the most of it, experts advice that you eat a healthy well-balanced diet. People who love intermittent fasting love it because its easy to do. There's no list of foods to buy nor is there a laundry list of no-no food items to avoid. People who have been successful with intermittent fasting also like it because you can tailor and tweak it to fit your lifestyle.

If you know that you get hangry first thing in the morning, you can choose to have breakfast first thing in the morning and start your eating countdown from there. If on the other hand, you know that you won't be able to sleep when your stomach is grumbling, you can opt to skip breakfast and schedule your eating time span to include dinner. If you lead a high energy lifestyle and fear the effect that fasting will have on your ability to get through the day, you can choose to follow the method where you restrict your calories one or two days a week.

Intermittent Fasting: Everything You Want To Know | Moms.com - Moms

By Wendy M. HenrichsBoard Certified Chiropractic Pediatrician and Nutrition Counselor

Is your diet in need of a reboot before the holidays? Remember that your diet is how and what you eat, not something that you do for a short period of time to lose weight. There are several popular diet patterns today, including Keto, Paleo, Gluten Free, Low Carb, High Protein, Whole 30, and Mediterranean. The number one diet pattern in 2018 was Intermittent Fasting. This article will explore intermittent fasting and its benefits. If you are looking for ways to manage your weight, decrease inflammation and pain, lower your blood pressure, lower your total cholesterol, decrease your risk for heart disease and diabetes along with having more energy and longevity then intermittent fasting could be for you.

Fasting originated in ancient evolution and healing tradition across millennia. It has been shown to support overall metabolic health. It supports cellular cleanup which leads to cellular regeneration and an increase in circulating stem cells (i.e. younger cells). It impacts genetic markers associated with an increase in human longevity and health span.

Fasting is not a fad. In Obesity 2019, those practicing time-restricted eating within a six-hour period and fasting for 18 hours improved fat-burning and lowered levels of the hungry hormone ghrelin, as compared to those who ate exact same meals in 12-hour period. Eating only during limited hours can improve weight management, increase longevity, and improve our immune systems ability to fight disease. Mt. Sinai researchers published a study (Cell, Aug. 22, 2019) showing that fasting reduces inflammation and improves chronic inflammatory diseases without affecting the immune systems response to acute infections. Intermittent fasting is known to improve sensitivity to blood glucose, lower blood glucose, protect against fatty liver, and lower pancreatic fat.

There are several approaches to intermittent fasting but, in my opinion, a 12-16 hour fasting period that includes breakfast and eating your last meal before 6 p.m. is doable for the average person with a multitude of benefits. A study published in Nutrients 2019 compared the effects of eating a high fat, high sugar diet (the Standard American Diet-SAD) to a 12-16-hour intermittent fasting diet. Eating more than six meals and snacks daily while skipping breakfast, eating high fat and high sugar, and eating the last meal later at night with a reduced fasting period causes increased hunger, inflammation and total cholesterol, and a decrease in insulin sensitivity. Just skipping breakfast leads to increased LDLs, increased body fat, increased weight and an increased incidence of diabetes. Eating breakfast and eating your last meal before 6pm with a fasting period between 12-16 hours has many positive effects such as decreased hunger, decreased inflammation (leads to decreased pain), decreased total cholesterol and increased insulin sensitivity. There were also decreases in LDLs, blood pressure, body weight, body fat and a decreased risk of diabetes and heart disease. These are some very compelling reasons to consider intermittent fasting.

Some things to keep in mind if you are considering intermittent fasting: Eat Breakfast: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It ignites your metabolism and your brain. Breakfast should include protein, healthy fats (avocado, grass-fed organic butter, salmon, omega 3 eggs, nuts or seeds), fruit or vegetables. Skipping breakfast leads to increases in body weight, body fat, LDLs and risk of diabetes. Eat Dinner/Supper before 6 p.m. (if possible): Eating later at night leads to increases in fat deposition, blood pressure, cholesterol and increased risk of diabetes and heart disease. I suggest brushing your teeth after supper which helps prevent the evening noshing. Your dinner should include four ounces of lean protein (organic chicken, grass fed beef, wild game, wild caught fish, or legumes) paired with one to two cups of steamed vegetables and/or leafy greens. If you must have starch, limit it to a half-cup serving. Eat three meals a day with two small snacks (if needed) that include protein, good fats, veggies and/or fruits. Fast for 12-16 hours between supper and breakfast: This improves your ability to burn stored fat, which amps up your metabolism. Eat whole foods that do not come from boxes or packages. That is, eat mostly plant derived food like fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables plus lean protein sources such as eggs, organic chicken, grass fed beef, wild game, wild caught fish, legumes and nuts. Eat organic foods as much as possible. Visit http://www.ewg.org for the dirty dozen and clean 15 as a guide. Eat good fats from grass fed butter, olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil and grape seed oil. Drink half of your body weight in ounces of water daily. Try for eight ounces of water per hour throughout your waking hours. Avoid trans fats, hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils/fats.

Intermittent fasting was used by our ancestors, sometimes out of necessity. It is a way to lower your blood pressure, lower your cholesterol and LDLs, decrease your risk for diabetes and heart disease along with long term weight management while increasing energy and longevity. Consider intermittent fasting as a means to not only live longer but get more life out of your years.

Visceral fat is deemed dangerous because its a type of body fat stored within the abdominal cavity. Its found near several vital organs which is why a persons risk of developing serious health problems is increased. Eating a poor diet has been found to lead to visceral fat build up, so making changes to the food youre eating is advised.

Diet plans come highly recommended for weight loss and fat loss, but with so many diets to choose from, which one is considered best?

Low-carb diets have been found to help get rid of visceral fat, and one in particular proven effective is the ketogenic, or keto, diet.

The keto diet shares many similarities with the Atkins diet, drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat.

A reduction in carbs puts the body into a metabolic state called ketosis.

A study involving 28 overweight and obese adults found those who followed a ketogenic diet lost more fat, especially visceral fat, than people following a low-fat diet.

The participants also did this while eating roughly 300 more calories per day.

Low-carb diets in general have been shown to be key to visceral fat loss.

A greater proportion of the fat people lose on low-carb diets seems to come from the abdominal cavity.

DON'T MISS

Low-carb diets have also been shown to lead to more weight loss at first.

Studies demonstrate people on low-carb diets lose more weight, faster, than those on low-fat diets.

This is believed to happen because low-carb diets act to rid excess water from the body, lowering insulin levels and leading to rapid weight loss in the first week or two.

In studies comparing low-carb and low-fat diets, people restricting their carbs sometimes lose two to three times as much weight, without being hungry.

One study in obese adults found a low-carb diet particularly effective for up to six months, compared to a conventional weight loss diet.

But after that, the difference in weight loss between diets was insignificant.

Diet isnt the only way to get rid of visceral fat - regular aerobic exercise has also been shown to be effective.

An analysis of 15 studies in 852 people compared how well different types of exercise reduced visceral fat without dieting.

The authors found moderate and high-intensity aerobic exercises were most effective at reducing visceral fat without dieting.

But combining regular aerobic exercise with a healthy diet is more effective at targeting visceral fat than doing either one alone.

Examples of aerobic exercise include brisk walking, riding a bike, hiking and pushing a lawnmower.

As part of government guidelines, adults aged 19 to 64 should aim to do at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity every week alongside strength exercises on two or more days a week.

Multiple things can be true at once: for years, Kim Kardashian-West has posted a slew of questionable, sinister weight-loss spon-con Instagram, some for $1 million a pop, regardless of the vitriol her detox teas and dieting aids have inspired across the internet and in the heart of Jameela Jamil. Sometimes shell stop, but shell always return to promoting dangerous products that reassure consumers they will lose weight because it will make them shit their brains out, to borrow a phrase from actor Sophie Turner. Now, it looks like Kim is done apologizing and would like you to realize that all the proceeds from these deals go to her prison reform work, so being anti-Flat Tummy Co. is basically support for the prison industrial complex. Or something?

Kim told the New York Times on Wednesday that shes fast and loose with her acceptance of paid ads and shes even more willing to hawk goods that are off-brand because the money goes to her prison reform work. If I have a paid post that comes in and I think, O.K., well this can fund x amount of people that are behind bars, that can help free them with simple legal fees that they just cant afford, then that would be worth it to me, even if the post might be a little bit off-brand for me, she said. I really weigh out different things now than I used to.

There is perhaps no person less equipped to draw a line between what is appropriate and what is notexcluding, say, Kanye Westand Im not solely referring to the fact that Kim helped free Alice Marie Johnson and then had her model the new KKW shape wear line. It also strikes me as absolutely wild that one of the worlds wealthiest women feels the need to divvy up her income in such a way that she has a separate stream reserved solely for her activism. The reality appears to be much clearer: shes attempting to use her good work to justify her poor behavior online.

The Voice coach Gwen Stefani is an icon to millions of 90s kids. Her trademark rhinestone bra straps, retro-styled voice, and cherry-red lips made the No Doubt singer Insta-famous with hits like Dont Speak, and Spiderwebs. However, her diet and exercise routine are that much more impressive.

The 50-year-old mother of three is, arguably, the best shes ever been. Now, Stefanis personal trainer spills the secrets to achieving a rockin bod. Heres how to get there.

With an intense schedule, Stefanis workout has to be fast, efficient, and produce results. The busy mom previously revealed she keeps her time at the gym to just four days per week with each session lasting about an hour, or slightly longer.

I have no magic thing that I do to stay fit. I eat really clean, do my shows, and work out, Stefani told Shape. I always feel better when Im in a routine even though I sometimes hate it.

One secret Stefani admitted to the cardio portion of her routine? I play tennis, badly, with [Blake Shelton], she said.

Stefanis former longtime trainer, Mike Heatlie, previously told Shape Magazine, ahigh-intensity weight trainingroutine combined with some quality cardiovascular training, works wonders in achieving results like Stefanis.

He suggested choosing four to five exercises to perform without any rest between sets followed by one to three minutes of high-intensity cardiovascular work.

Some of the moves to choose from include full dumbbell squats, a standing lateral shoulder raise, kettlebell swings, and unbalanced lunges, to name a few.

Stefanis new trainer Gunnar Peterson recommends whole-body cardio to sculpt more muscles in less time. More importantly, he advises you find exercises or hobbies that bring you joy if you want to maintain results for the long haul.

If you can find a way to enjoy what were doing, enjoy the work, the end goal seems to come faster, he said. You stop looking at the destination and you start enjoying the journey. I know that may sound corny or contrived, but its really true.

Stefani diet is clear of meat and carbs, when possible. From the age of 12, the singer began following a vegetarian diet. Shes also gone full vegan off and on for years.

Heatlie said the best way to burn fat and lose weight is to carb-cycle, which helps drop levels of stored carbs (glycogen) in the muscles and liver. This process helps the body use stored fat for fuel. So how does it work?

Heatlie said reducing carb intake on certain days triggers the fat-burn process. That means cutting bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, sugar, and high-fat foods some days of the week or adapting some form of intermittent fasting (restricting your eating window each day) for faster results.

As for abs like Stefanis, Peterson said itll take more than standard sit-ups.

Your core wraps around your entire body and supports you, Gunnar told Popsugar. When it comes to abs . . . theres a ton of work done in flexion and maybe at the most in extension. He said its not comprehensive enough to develop celebrity-like abs.

The key is adapting exercise moves that work the entire core such as a variety of planks with toe-touches and Supermans sprinkled in.

As for the milestone birthday, Stefani told Entertainment Tonight its not much more than a number. I feel the same as I always feel, which is horrified, she said. Nobody wants to grow older. But, you know, I feel like Im also in an amazing place in my life. I feel so blessed right now.

She credits her gratitude for finding some semblance of balance.

I always knew at this point in my life I was going to be turning this age, which is hard to even say out loud, but where I would be with my kids and what place they would be at and I feel so, like, Im in a good balance of being able to work and also be here a lot and enjoy being a mom and being there for them, she said. Its a good time in my life. I mean, I cannot complain.

Whether youre up for Stefanis diet and exercise routine or not, its totally achievable. With a little hard work, patience, and gratitude, you, too, can get in the best shape of your life.
