27-year-old Pallavi Gupta was at the receiving end of lots of negative comments and faced several health troubles owing to the excess weight. Determined to reverse this, this homemaker joined a gym, worked hard and lost 20 kilos in less than a year.To know how she did it, read the complete story below:Name: Pallavi GuptaOccupation: Homemaker (CA Finalist)

Age: 27

Height:5 feet 5 inches

City: Saharanpur (Uttar Pradesh)

Highest weight recorded: 84 kilos

Weight lost: 20 kilos approximately

Duration it took me to lose weight:10 monthsThe turning point: I piled on weight quickly. I lost out on self-confidence and felt ignored by the people around me. After a point, my parents got tensed as they found it difficult to find a suitable match for me. This was when I decided to change my lifestyle and got better. With luck by my side, I was able to shed 19-20 kilos in less than a year.

My breakfast: For breakfast, I like having a vegetable sandwich (preferably brown bread/multigrain) or something filling like oats, chilla or poha, with a cup of coffee or tea.

My lunch: I like to have a simple homemade lunch. One chapati with a serving of subzi and daal (green moong/yellow urad/moong/beans/chickpeas). Salad and curd are optional.

In the evenings, I like to snack on makhane (foxnuts), chaane (Bengal gram) and a cup of green tea.

My dinner: I keep my dinner light. Usually, I have a bowl of fruit salad (with just some black pepper and lemon seasoning), or a big bowl of subzi, whatever's made at home.

Pre-workout meal: Black coffee

Post- workout meal: Handful of dry fruits( 4 soaked almonds, 2 raisins, 1 anjeer 1 and walnut )

My workout: I like to work out for 1.5 hours at a stretch, focussing on every individual muscle and start by doing cardio for 40 minutes daily. Then, I spend 30 minutes on the treadmill or the cross-trainer.

Planks are my favourite exercise to do and I also perform 200 reps of sides with bar, 3 sets of jumping jacks, mountain climber, step-ups. I also like to cycle, if and when I find the time.

I worked out under a gym trainer and focussed on a target area every day:

Monday :- Chest & bicepsTuesday:- LegsWednesday;- Back & tricepsThursday:- abs & shouldersFriday :- HIIT workout & cardioSaturday:- legs( calves/ hams/thighs)Sundays are my rest day.

Low-calorie recipes I swear by: Special cold coffee recipe (1 cup milk+ 2 soaked anjeer +2 soaked almonds+ 1 dry date + coffee powder) is a weight loss secret. I also like eating vegetable khichdi.

Fitness secrets I unveiled: Moderation is the key. I followed a variation of intermittent fasting. Changing my portion size greatly helped me.

How do I stay motivated? - I would like to credit my husband as the biggest motivator. We have been married for 4 months now and he helps me stick to my goals and not give up.

Ruth Langsford recalled the moment her husband Eamonn Holmes inspired her to lose weight after giving birth.

The popular TV presenter was hosting a discussion on Loose Women titled 'Do you need to be shocked into losing weight?' and Ruth admitted that this was very much the case for her.

Ruth confessed to making a major lifestyle change "after watching quite a shocking home video that my husband had filmed."

The audience immediately burst into giggles over the comment, but Ruth told insisted there was no X-rated footage, telling them: "It's not what you think!"

After giving birth to her son Jack 18 years ago, husband Eamonn recorded a video of Ruth relaxing by the pool on holiday.

"I put on a lot of weight when I was pregnant with Jack," she explained.

While watching the home video with Eamonn, the ITV star said she remembered wondering: "Why is he filming that enormous woman? Dragging a sun lounger behind her with a very large bottom."

The camera zoomed in and Ruth realised that it was actually her, and that she couldn't recognise herself.

She confessed: "That was my moment, I was straight onto that post get rid of this baby weight."

Fellow panelist Sair Khan made her own weight loss confession, and hinted that the spark has returned to the bedroom since she switched to a fitter and healthier lifestyle.

She said: "The side effects of physical exercise have woken up parts of my body that I didn't know were there before. The other day I even initiated it!"

Saira then encouraged viewers at home to join fitness classes and get more physical, praising the benefits exercise has had on her life.

Ruth joked: "Please dont tell Eamonn he'll get me signed up to that course."

Meanwhile if you missed having the husband and wife duo on your TV screens, we have some good news for you.

This Morning, which Ruth and Eamonn host every Friday, is returning to Virgin Media One from March 9.

The station dropped the popular show back in October, but due to popular demand it will now return to our screens.

The reintroduction of This Morning means a huge scheduling shake-up for Virgin Media's other daytime programmes.

Nowadays lots of people use diets to stay slim and healthy. However, to achieve the best results, you should make sure that you a follow nutritious diet, one that can help you lose weight by eating healthy plus doing some exercise.

Counting on the help of a nutrition specialist is the key to avoid cutting out foods that contain essential nutrients necessary for our body to function properly. Remember that avoiding absolutely everything is not the way to get that bikini body, and some methods can be completely counterproductive.

1. Dont starve yourself

Dont get it into your head that to lose weight you need to stop eating. This is a frequent error people make, focusing on the idea that eliminating food groups like carbohydrates, fats, or sugars, and even proteins, which are all vital for our body. Eating a mere 800 to 1000 calories per day and drinking less water, is a monumental mistake.

2. Drinking smoothies or eating single-group food

Experts insist that getting nutrition exclusively from green smoothies or diets in which you repeatedly consume the same food, does not work. This can make people suffer from dehydration caused by the diuretic ingredients in many detox smoothies, as well as generating the loss of muscular mass because of the lack of quality protein.This low calorie level will make your body burn muscle to get energy, and lose liquid instead of fat, creating a rebound effect that will mean you will put weight back on twice as fast when you stop dieting.

3. Skipping meals

Respecting meal times is a vital aspect of keeping your metabolism activated and accelerated. Skipping meals can seem like a good way to reduce calorie intake, but it will actually slow your metabolism down. The best thing to do is to eat every four hours, eating snacks like fibrous fruits in between meals, that will fill you up more quickly. These will become nutritious allies in your daily diet.

Want to lose weight? These are the things you should NOT do - HOLA! USA

With the new year far behind and thoughts of a trip to the beach on spring break soon approaching, you may have already tried your hand at changing your diet this year and maybe even failed spectacularly at it. The truth is, many of the popular diets currently being discussed on television shows and social media are truly restrictive: Keto dieters and those who attempted Whole30 can definitely tell you how hard it is to completely eradicate food groups from your daily routine. But losing weight isn't always about cutting things out; in fact, it might be about adding more foods into your line up, says Stefani Sassos, MS, RD, CDN, a registered dietitian in the Good Housekeeping Institute.

The best diets may not be as trendy as the worst diets on this list, but Sassos says they set you up for maintaining healthy weight loss over a longer period of time (possibly, for good!). Her top pick is more about adapting your lifestyle rather than following a regimen for a few months, but it could lead to even more weight loss than you'd experience on another program. Regardless of which diet you choose to try this year, you'll need to practice the following advice in order to truly reap all the benefits that sustained weight loss can offer:

Sassos' top pick is one we've been hearing more about in the last few years: the Mediterranean diet. You won't be counting calories or stressing over a slip up on this diet because it's based on the atmosphere of life in nations like Greece, Spain, Italy, and the south of France. Instead, you'll be eating as many vegetables, fruits, pulses and legumes (including everything from beans to lentils), and many sources of whole grains (farro is your friend!). While you'll enjoy lean proteins such as salmon nearly every day, you can indulge in better-for-you sources of saturated fats (cheese and some cured meats included).

"It's an approach to cooking that emphasizes vegetables, naturally leading to a ton of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals in your diet," Sassos says, adding that the diet has been linked to weight loss and a reduction in disease risk, plus a boost in longevity overall. Many curious health experts first began exploring the benefits of the Mediterranean diet in the early 2010s, shortly after a team at the University of Barcelona demonstrated how effectively the diet transformed cardiovascular health for at-risk individuals. There are many pieces of evidence that point to the diet's effectiveness in preventing disease, but most recently, newly published results of a study in the journal Gut demonstrate how the Mediterranean diet may also vastly improve our digestive health.

"At its core, the diet is all about getting back to the basics and really enjoying whole foods," Sassos says. "Its role in fighting inflammation across the body and brain is just an added bonus."

"It's old school, and the saying is true: If it ain't broke, don't fix it," Sassos says of the Volumetrics diet, another favorite of health experts in years past. Developed by health experts at Pennsylvania State University, this diet stresses thinking of new, fun ways to eat more fruits and vegetables, and upping how much water you consume without thinking about it. Since it's based on the volume of your meals, people often feel like they're eating quite a lot, which is good for dieters who can't fight hunger pangs. "I am a type of person where I like to maximize my calories, and I don't want to feel starving," Sassos says, adding that the Volumetrics' approach also ups your fiber to maximize satiety. "Why would I have one tiny cookie when I could have this giant greek yogurt sundae? I like more, and feeling full."

Sassos says the evidence presented by Barbara Rollins, PhD, the author behind The Ultimate Volumetrics Diet, is more than solid. It'll help you eat more veggies naturally by targeting foods that keep you full and happy (without leaving you wishing you could have a piece of cheese at midnight).

Notice that we aren't using the v-word here. "I often recommend going plant-based as much as possible versus going completely vegan, because adopting a vegan lifestyle can be very difficult for people who are simply hoping to lose weight and not address other health issues," Sassos says. "You shouldn't feel guilty if you can't fully go vegan or if you've failed in trying to do so in the past. Rather, you should empower yourself to adopt your meals to be as plant-forward as possible."

Being a flexitarian isn't like following other diets with strict regimens: It's about setting a schedule that fits your own needs and lifestyle, and there's not a set meal plan you need to adhere to. Flexitarian meal plans are best when focused on targeting certain meals to be as devoid of dairy and meat as possible, but it doesn't mean you can't enjoy these items throughout the week. "You can still have things like chicken, but flexitarian diets are at least 50% plants or more," Sassos says. "At my house, we do totally plant-based (true to vegan style) meals between two and three days a week, where I substitute dairy and meat for plant-based alternatives or omit altogether."

An important caveat, though: Being vegan or flexitarian doesn't mean you have carte blanche to eat "fake" vegan alternatives (like Impossible Burgers) all the time. "Vegan meals and snacks can also be unhealthy, too: Things like Oreos and chips may be considered vegan, but that doesn't mean they're healthy."

Danielle Occhiogrosso Daly

Just as the Mediterranean diet has enjoyed the spotlight as one of the healthiest diets in the last few years, the keto diet is equally publicized for promising results on a controversial meal plan. For most health professionals, understanding a diet's effectiveness boils down to why it was created in the first place. And the ketogenic diet was largely designed, interestingly enough, as a form of treatment for pediatric epilepsy in the 20th century, Sassos says. For those of you who don't know, manipulating your body into ketosis requires you to vastly restrict almost all sources of lean protein and almost all carbohydrates (fruits, veggies, and legumes included). But Sassos believes cutting out nutrient-dense veggies and other complex carbohydrates could do damage to much more than just your waistline. "The first thing that your brain needs to function are carbs. When you cut out carbs completely, you could be affecting regions of your body that you're not even aware of," Sassos says. "You need carbs; cooking the right kinds of healthy carbohydrates and watching your portion sizes are much more valuable tips that any kind of exclusion from your diet."

There's some science behind why you may lose weight during the first few weeks (mostly, water weight) and Sassos says that she appreciates the awareness that keto programs have brought to added sugar. "It does keep you away from candy and really sugary treats, but the fact of the matter is that you do need to eat natural sources of sugar," she argues. "Apples, Ezekiel bread, grains like farro and quinoa, beans; all of these things will contain natural sugars and complex carbs, and they're part of a wholesome, balanced diet."

Staving off all sources of carbohydrates in the long term isn't sustainable for most. Sassos says a failed attempt at the keto diet could end up in even more weight afterwards, or long-lasting damaging side effects from the increased dependency on fat. "If you're a normal healthy person and you're suddenly eating bacon, butter, and all of this red meat, it will affect your heart and overall cardiovascular system in not so great ways." Weight cycling, or the aspect of continuously dieting just to gain weight back later, has been shown to be severely damaging on our psyche and may even impact longevity, especially in young adults and teens and critics of the keto diet highlight this, as getting off the diet can often lead to rapid weight gain shortly thereafter.

There are too many harmful trendy diets to count, but sometimes the allure of a fad diet (often adopted by celebrities in a dramatic fashion) has to do with results. Sassos highlights the following three diets as being bad choices for long-term, sustained weight loss, but she also agrees that there are some lessons hiding beneath all of the glossy photos of their successes.

The bottom line: Nearly all of the diets that health experts love encourage a variety of food groups and moderation, whereas diets that restrict what you eat or when you eat it could inhibit to keep weight off in the long run. Anything that seems questionable probably is, Sassos says case in point, the Dr. Sebi Diet, which is currently making rounds on the internet for fast weight loss. Try to look for any scientific credentials within the book or website in question, and see if the diet's name has been attached to any scientific research published in journals. If you've never heard of it, it's probably for good reason.

Skipping breakfast and snacking late at night could lead to a delay in the bodys ability to lose weight, new research has suggested.

If were trying to shed the pounds, we know we need to watch what we eat, how much we eat and how much we move, but according to a new study our ability to burn dietary calories could also be impacted by the time of day most of our food is consumed.

The study, published in the journalPLOS Biology,monitored the metabolism of middle-aged and older subjects in a whole-room respiratory chamber over two separate 56-hour sessions.

In each session, lunch and dinner were presented at the same times (12.30pm and 17.45pm, respectively), but the timing of the third meal differed between the two halves of the study.

In one of the 56-hour sessions, the additional daily meal was presented as breakfast (at 8:00) whereas in the other session, a nutritionally equivalent meal was given to the same subjects as a late-evening snack (22.00pm).

The duration of the overnight fast was the same for both sessions.

While the two sessions did not differ in the amount or type of food eaten, or in participants activity levels, the daily timing of the third meal had an impact on the amount of fat burned.

Researchers found that the late-evening snack session resulted in less fat burned when compared to the breakfast session.

Study authors said the circadian rhythm, or the body clock, is programmed to assist the body to burn fat when asleep.

As a consequence, skipping breakfast and then snacking at night could lead to a delay in the burning of the fat.

Based on their experimental observations, the researchers said the timing of meals during the day/night cycle could impact the extent to which ingested food is used versus stored.

The study team said their research could have wider implications for advising people on their eating habits, suggesting that a daily fast between the evening meal and breakfast could help optimise weight management.

This isnt the first time the health benefits of the overnight fast have been discussed.

Last year research suggested skippingbreakfast and eating a late dinner could lead to more serious outcomes after a heart attack.

Scientists found people who frequently bypassed brekkie and regularly ate dinner less than two hours before going to bed were far less likely to survive if they suffered a heart attack.

But there has also been some contradictory research in terms of whether eating breakfast can aid weight loss.

While eating breakfast has previously been thought to help aid weight loss, a further body of research suggests you may be better off without it.

Past studies have found aprotein-based morning meal or a bowl full ofoatsfirst thing could be the key to maintaining a steady weight and controlling your appetite later in the day.

But last year scientists from the Monash University in Melbourne found those who eat breakfast were found to have a higher energy consumption during the day (an average of 260 more calories) compared to those who skipped the morning meal.

Breakfast eaters also weighed, on average, almost half a kilogram more (0.44kg) compared to non-breakfast eaters.

Whats more, the scientists concluded skipping breakfast does not reduce appetite during the day, as previously thought.

The scientists werent the first to challenge the supposed link between eating breakfast and weight loss.

Followers of the popularintermittent fastingdiet will often skip breakfast in order to limit their eating window to later in the day.

It's one of the most realistic games on the market excluding the newly discovered vomit roping so it only makes sense that Red Dead Redemption 2 players can gain weight based on their diet. Being overweight in such a hostile environment does have its downsides, but the freedom to choose Arthur's size is another fun mechanic that makes you tip your hat to Rockstar.

RELATED: Red Dead Online: How To Dual Wield

The effects of gaining weight in Red Dead Redemption 2 aren't just cosmetic. If you opt for an Arthur that is on the heavier side of the scale, you'll see a significant reduction in your stamina. This means that rigorous activities will require him to stop more frequently than usual. However, he can actually take more damage than his underweight counterpart.

A malnourished, skinny Arthur will see an increase in his stamina but a decrease in how much damage he can withstand. If Arthur's weight is 'just right,' he will split the difference between these two builds that is, he will have a moderate amount of both stamina and health.

If you've decided to bulk up Arthur, there's a bit of a long slog ahead of you. Just like in the real-world, massive weight gains don't happen overnight. Instead of just eating meals to restore your cores, you'll want to indulge in as much food as possible. This means multiple meals a day for many days in a row.

Arthur's on a strict overeating routine if you miss a couple of meals, or forget to eat loads of food for a couple of days, he's just not going to bulk up.

Once Arthur is super-sized, he can start losing weight by restricting his caloric intake. This means he should only eat to restore his cores. The best way to do this is by only eating the stew that is made at camp and avoiding everything else. This should be enough to keep his cores filled while also sloughing off the pounds.

If you want to take the easy way out, just get sent to jail. By the time your sentence is up you'll be ridiculously underweight, all thanks to those awful jailhouse meals.

Maintaining a weight that rests between 'bulky' and 'scrawny' is simple just eat a few meals a day. Like reality, eating a few meals a day and cutting out the excess is the best way to manage Arthur's size. This size arguably gives the best gameplay stats, too, as you'll be able to take advantage of decent damage resistance and a sizable stamina pool.

Determining Arthur's weight in Red Dead Redemption 2 is a choice that players shouldn't take lightly. Not only is it a significant commitment to gain or lose weight, but it also comes with a direct impact on gameplay. Feel free to try running around as all three body types before you make a final decision. If you don't like one, just change his diet and try out the next.
