The "Rolling in the Deep" singer posted to her Instagram a few festive photos from a Christmas party, but the Grinch friend she posed with was hardly the focus of attention. Fans were quick to point out Adele's considerable weight loss, which she flaunted in a silky Reformation gown. She looked stunning, but the massive reaction raised an issue with how modern society generally responds to weight loss.

There's a lot of concerning implications that can arise with complimenting someone for losing weight, whether directed at a celebrity or a member of your family. First, this reinforces the stereotype that thinner people are inherently more desirable and attractive. There's the false implication that losing weight is synonymous with good health, as well as infinite ways to become thinner dangerously: eating disorders, substance abuse, and dangerous fad diets among them. Praising someone for losing weight, however well-intended, propagates fat shame and implies that individuals are worth most at their thinnest.

Adele has spent her entire career championing plus-size (but actually average-size) women. Before eventually singing to XL, she reportedly had a strict policy for her potential record labels: Under no circumstances would she be encouraged to lose weight. But of course, that hadn't made her immune to negative comments on her body. In 2012, Karl Lagerfeld called the singer "a little too fat." "I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines," Adele responded. "I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that."

No matter her size, Adele remains one of the best-selling music artists in the world. Let's leave weight out of the conversation.

Because its basically a supercomputer that can fit in the size of your pocket, theres no denying that a smartphone can be very useful in our daily lives. Its also made life incredibly easier and has brought so many conveniences in our life. However, too much of a good thing can be bad. And in the case of people who want to lose weight, using our phones too much can sometimes backfire and do more harm than good.

Heres how your phone may be stopping you from losing weight:

You walk slower

For most of us, our phone is our usual jog buddy. As it turns out, walking while using your phone can slow down your pace, which can impact the amount of calories you burn. So the next time you do, just put on some music and focus on the running/jogging.

It disrupts your sleep cycle

One of the most important pillars of losing weight is to get proper sleep and rest after a taxing workout. Unfortunately, smartphones have made this harder for most people since the majority of us take it to bed and use it for at least a couple hours before sleeping. In addition, too much blue light can also force our bodies to produce more stress hormones.

Distracts your from your workout

You might not realize it but the constant checking on the phone and keeping a tab on everything can also limit the time of work you can do at a gym. This can be considered as phone addiction and can be very detrimental, especially if you are following a strict routine. Not to mention, it can also give you a hunched back. Who would want that?

You eat more

Did you know that constantly being on your phone while eating can make you eat more without you noticing? As such, you should be practicing mindful eating, especially if youre trying to lose weight.

Phones make you more stressed

This is because phones can give you numbers that measure everything, stressing you more than things should.

Researchers found that mobile phones have been sending more people to emergency rooms in the U.S. over the past two decades due to injuries, like facial cuts, bruises and fractures. Pixabay

Your Smartphone Could Be Ruining Your Chances Of Losing Weight - Medical Daily

"People dont change because of facts. They change because of stories," says Dr. George Guthrie, author of Eat Plants, Feel Whole, a new book that guides readers through the transition to a plant-based diet. Dr. Guthrie, who has been treating patients with diabetes, heart disease and other lifestyle diseases with whole-foods plant-based diet recommendation, tells the story that sent him along this path, some 40 years ago. He has seen the impact on a person's health thatswitching from an animal-based diet to a vegan or plant-based diet can dofor someone, and has been eating this way himself for the past 40 years.

Dr. Guthrie was a self-described "fat kid" in high school, "I have always been interested in healthy eating because in high school, I had a weight problem. I was the short, fat kid. My mother worked in a hospital and since he worked closely with the doctors, she knew the importance of learning how to eat." So he switched his diet, learned to eat healthy foods and also to becomean "intermittent faster" for most of his adulthood (though it was not yet called that back then.)

The story that made him switch to become plant-based? "When I became a physician I had a patient who presented with metabolic syndrome and it was before we knew the whole concept of what was going on. Hehaddiabetes and hypertension and obesity. His sugars were over 200. And I said I will help you with your lifestyle but you have to change how you eat. And a year later he had normal sugar and lipids and blood pressure. I had never seen it happen before. It changed the trajectory of my career. I went back for my degree in public health. that was 35 years ago.

"I was not the first one. John McDougal was doing that, and when I was in medical school I also knew Hans Diehl a young doctor in health science and he took me to Nathan Pritikins program out in California in 1981.Now I tell people: Eat more plants and I try to move people into that direction. Obviously people are now paying attention because of the planet, but the majorbenefit is to you. I tell people: Eat more plants, you should try it."

"We created a graphic that is a matrix chart. The axis goes from left to right, from animal products on the left to plants on the right, and from the bottom-- which shows refined foods on the bottom and unrefined on the top. Our goal is to push people to the right upper quadrant -- unrefined plant foods. They dont have to be vegetarians or vegans but they have to eat more plants.

"That upper right is the healthy space, where they should exist. There is a space in the way upper right and we say this is therapeutic."

"Some people can move slowly but others need to move quickly. Moving to a plant-based diet can be therapeutic in treating diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension and obesity. It can reverse the whole metabolic syndrome. We recognize this is a problem when people live with too many calories in, and not enough calories out.

"If you eat foods that have too many calories in them, and not enough fiber in the food, and water in the food, you will gain weight. The more you add foods that contain the most fiber and water, the better, That is the whole food plant-basedapproach. And you get all the benefits on the body and the microbiome.

"Motivating people is what I do all day. When I was a young person I thought about: What am I going to be when I grow up? And one thing I knew I would never wanted to be was a salesman. So I went into medicine, and low and behold all I am doing now all day long is selling. Selling the diagnosis and selling the treatment and selling prevention.

"When they are ready to change its exciting. When they are motivated, its very exciting.

"When people are not ready to change getting them ready to change is a trickier business. Is this person ready? They will give you clues. Instead of spending time telling them what they should do, 'You gotta stop eating this and doing this and doing that,' I start telling stories.

"I say: Do you know this condition is reversible? There are studies that say it can go away. And I ask them if they are interested in hearing stories. Then I hand them Dr. Caldwell Esselstyns book on Preventing and Reversing Heart Disease, and say if you are ready, I will do it with you. And so its not me saying i

t to them. It's stories.

"The benefit is that I dont see so many resistant people as I used to. Perhaps the word is getting around, and then the joy of my practice increases. Because people want to change.

"I like to tell them to try The Full Plate Diet -- by Diana Fleming, who has a PhD out of Tufts. I tell them til fill up of their plate with high fiber and high-water foods and then use the remaining for other foods.

"When I talk about high-water foods, it's usually also high-fiber foods. Water doesnt have any calories, of course, so if we can fill our stomachs with high-water foods like fruits and vegetables, we can feel fuller on fewer calories.

"Generally working in a group is the most effective. Youdon'teven need a doctor to do it. Group process is extremely powerful. I started out with one patient who was able to make some changes. That whetted my appetite and my wife is a nurse practitioner and we moved up to the mountains of California near Yosemite, and she had nothing to do there, soshe got started on the CHIP project -- Coronary Health Improvement Project.

"Now it's called the Complete Health Improvement Project. The idea is you get a group of people together, and do this as an intense program, four days a week, for four weeks. Every day they get a video presentation, food presentations,sit at a table and talking together, communicating together. We watched this make a big impact in the community,It took people who were not interested in Plant-Based eating and made them think: Hey maybe I can do this. There is still a CHIP club up there in Groveland,

"But the powerful thing is the change that happens in peoples lives. People share their stories.Stories change behavior, facts don't. And those stories from early adapters change lives. Those people tell their stories and it changes lives.I've seen people get off their insulin pumps, and people who were very sick get well. Then they share their stories and it's powerful.

"Usually, people just don't know how to cook that way. The logical concern is: "How do I get enough protein?' For those of us in the business of helping people eat this way, we know its a non-issue. But the beef and dairy industryhas brainwashed us into thinking we need our protein and calcium from those animal sources. It's just not true.

Q. Whats a typical day of eating?

"Breakfast is a whole-grain cereal with fruit, and I try to have berries with it and nuts.

"My favorite bread is heavy German rye with more fiber than most bread has, and have almond butter on it or fruit on it. Today I had it with toast and almond butter with pineapple slices that I had cut up yesterday!

"Lunch in the doctor's lounge is not always easy. We try to focus on the plants and less of the refined things. Whatever plant-based food is around: Usually salads and soups

"Dinner is not much, for me.I don't know how much youre aware of this, but from the scientific literature, research tells us that when you eat is as important as what you eat.

"You've heard of Intermittent fasting? I have adopted this since I was young, but it wasn't called that then. But there is no supper prepared in my house -- no evening meal. If I am really hungry, Ill have a piece of fruit.

"People worry about going to sleep on an empty stomach. That it might keep them up. But when you are in a fasting state your gut makes beaucoup melatonin. You sleep better in the fasting state. If I eat too much (or drink too much), it really suppresses sleep. I tell patients the goal is to go to bed with an empty stomach. Its better for you.

Q. Timing of food matters? So what time do you eat?

"Breakfast at 7:30 or 8 in the morning, the second meal at 2 or 3 in the afternoon and that will be it for the day.

"Dinner is often about being social. But if you eat a lot of fiber and water in your food, that hangs around a long time. Not hypo-glycemic. I dont get hungry. Fiber and water work to keep you full. AndI dont really do any snacking. Always have nuts for breakfast. But no snacking after that.

"I never worry about calories. I don't really count. Instead of telling patients about that I tell them to lose weight: What one does is move to a whole food plant-based diet and then you dont need to count calories.Eat more, weigh less is one of the key marketing phrases of this kind of diet. Or as I like to say:Eat Plants, Feel Whole.

Excerpt from:
How to Use a Plant-Based Diet and Intermittent Fasting to Lose Weight - The Beet

We're frequently told that the key to weight loss is simple - just eat less and move more. Yet with obesity rates as they are, it's clear that for many people, it's really not that simple at all.

There is, of course, another option for those who are seriously obese or overweight and conservative methods alone haven't worked - and that's weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric or metabolic surgery.

This type of surgery is available on the NHS, for people who meet certain medical and weight criteria, but it's also available privately, at a cost of around 4,000-8,000.

But why is surgery sometimes deemed necessary, and what does it involve? Here, metabolic surgery pioneer Professor Francesco Rubino, lead of The London Bridge Hospital Metabolic and Bariatric Centre, part of HCA Healthcare UK (hcahealthcare.co.uk), and chair of bariatric and metabolic surgery at King's College London, shares his views...

Why can it be so hard for some people to lose weight and keep it off?

"Severe obesity is a disease, not a lifestyle choice. Research shows that when we lose weight by diet, our body reacts by activating mechanisms that defend against that. In fact, hunger-stimulating hormones typically increase after diet-induced weight loss and our body also tends to reduce the amount of energy it utilises, making it difficult to maintain weight loss in the long-term," says Rubino.

"These effects are not under control of our willpower and are ingrained in our biology. This explains why people who try diets almost invariably regain weight at some point. This isn't necessarily a lack of self-discipline, or a person's fault, as most people think, but the result of the way our biology works, defending a set, narrow range for body weight. In people with severe obesity, this set point is too high but the mechanisms that normally defend against weight loss are still working and powerful, thus frustrating voluntary efforts to lose weight by eating less and exercising more."

What is weight loss surgery?

There are different variations of weight loss surgery. The two most common are gastric bypass surgery, which divides the stomach into two smaller pouches and re-routes the small intestine, and sleeve gastrectomy surgery, a procedure that removes part of the stomach and shapes it as a tube or 'sleeve'.

"They were originally designed to reduce the size of the stomach but they actually change the physiologic mechanisms that regulate appetite, satiety and sugar metabolism," Rubino explains. "There isn't a single procedure that fits everyone's needs. Different procedures have different actions, which may result in different potential to improve metabolic conditions associated with obesity, beyond weight loss," he adds. "Hence, the choice of procedure needs to be thoroughly discussed with a specialist and must be tailored to the individual patient's need."

Why is weight loss surgery so effective?

"In the 1950s, when bariatric surgery was first introduced, understanding of the functions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract was quite rudimental - it was considered a mere digestive organ. So it made logical sense to think that by physically limiting the size of the stomach, or bypassing large portions of the intestine, one would be able to reduce the amount of food you can eat or the calories the body can absorb. Research over the last two decades, however, has shown this isn't true," Rubino explains.

"The GI tract is a complex, sophisticated endocrine and metabolic organ, something akin to a computer - some call it the 'second brain' - that receives input from the food we eat and sends signals to other organs to regulate body weight as well as sugar metabolism. Signals from the gut can inform the brain about calorie intake and accordingly regulate hunger and satiety. Other signals reach the liver and pancreas, where they can influence the production or action of insulin.

"This explains why gastrointestinal - bariatric/metabolic - surgery is so effective in inducing and maintaining weight loss, and also why it can dramatically improve other metabolic diseases, especially type 2 diabetes. Research has clearly shown bariatric surgery reduces or abolishes the very mechanisms that normally resist weight loss. In fact, the changes in hunger and satiety hormones that follow bariatric surgery are exactly opposite to those elicited by dietary interventions."

Is metabolic surgery really just a lazy way of losing weight?

"Some argue that diet and exercise, rather than expensive surgery, should be used to treat diabetes or severe obesity. This idea is both ill-conceived and ill-informed. In fact, there's definitive evidence that where surgery is indicated by current guidelines, lifestyle interventions alone are no longer sufficient to achieve adequate disease control," says Rubino. "On the other hand, in people with mere overweight or mild, uncomplicated obesity (BMI under 35 without other metabolic disease), surgery isn't indicated and isn't a replacement for a healthy lifestyle, which can still be effective in preventing progression towards more severe obesity.

"Hence, suggesting lifestyle interventions and not surgery should be the way to treat severe obesity is at odds with both scientific evidence and logic. Suggesting use of only lifestyle interventions in people with severe obesity (a full-blown disease) is tantamount to suggesting one should use lifestyle changes instead of surgery or chemotherapy to treat cancer."

Who can have the surgery?

There's a range of criteria for having weight loss surgery on the NHS. These include having a BMI of over 40, or having a BMI of 35-40 if you've already developed health complications that may improve with weight loss. Patients will need to be committed to long-term healthy changes after the surgery too.

"Recent clinical trials have shown that in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity, metabolic surgery is more effective than any other available therapy," says Rubino. "Currently, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and international guidelines recommend metabolic surgery be considered to treat type 2 diabetes patients and those with a BMI of 30 or over. However, only 0.2% or less of eligible patients have access to such surgery."

Who shouldn't have the surgery?

A number of factors can deem people unsuitable for surgery too, including: "People who don't suffer from severe obesity or its complications. Bariatric surgery is generally safe but this doesn't mean it's an appropriate or proportionate approach to deal with less severe overweight levels, where lifestyle changes have been shown to prevent progression toward severe obesity or diabetes in many patients," says Rubino.

"Also, people who are candidates for surgery but would be unsafe to operate on. Though bariatric surgery is less life-threatening than obesity or diabetes, it's still major surgery and requires general anaesthesia," he adds. "And people with conditions that can undermine compliance with nutritional supplementation. Bariatric surgery can alter the absorption of certain vitamins and micronutrients, so patients need to rigorously take nutrient supplements, lifelong."

A woman is celebrating after losing half her body weight and winning a golden slimming award.

Clare Johnston has lost a life-changing 11 stone to win Slimming Worlds Club 50 Award which has been specially created this year to celebrate the companys 50th birthday and is awarded to those special members who have lost an incredible 50 per cent of their starting weight!

Clare, who has gone from 22 stone to 10-and-a-half stone, said: Ive been overweight all my life, and it just got worse after having children.

Im so proud and happy to win this special award, especially in such a monumental year for Slimming World. I feel like a new woman since losing weight in fact, I look so different that people who I havent seen for a while often cant believe Im the same person.

For me though its the change on the inside thats been the greatest Im happier, healthier and much more confident now.

The 36-year-old from Stafford, who is now a Slimming World consultant herself in Penkridge, added: My lowest point was when I broke a seat at the local cinema. Ive never been so ashamed.

The cinema was full of people and it just caved in from my weight. People laughed. I was devastated.

I walked out feeling sorry for my children because I couldnt enjoy going to do nice things with them without worrying I was too big.

My weight impacted so many other aspects of my life too, from struggling to find clothes that I like to fit, to not being able to do simple everyday tasks without feeling tired and out of breath.

Before I lost weight, I hated having my photo taken and whenever I saw pictures of myself, I didnt feel like my smile was real yet now Im beaming.

Walking through those doors was one of the hardest things Ive ever done, I was embarrassed about my size and scared that I might be the biggest person there.

I neednt have worried though, everyone there was so friendly, especially my consultant and I was so relieved when I found out that my weight was confidential between me and her Id had visions of having to tell everyone how much I weighed.

Since then Ive made so many friends at the group and I honestly dont think I could have done it without their support each week. They helped me with recipes and tips and if I was ever struggling, they were always there to build me up and remind me why Id wanted to lose weight in the first place and how far Id come since first stepping through the doors.

Slimming World has given me my life back, and now as a consultant myself I help others. I know how it feels, I get it, and I love supporting members with a healthy lifestyle and feeling amazing.

People think slimming means going hungry, eating nothing but salad or obsessively counting every calorie you eat, but its not like that at all.

I love food and its never once felt like I was on a diet in fact, people are always surprised at how much food I have on my plate and cant believe Im losing weight eating so much without ever feeling hungry.

I still enjoy all my favourite meals like burgers and chips and roast dinners, but Ive learned how to make small changes like using lean meat or cooking with low calorie spray instead of oil or butter. It fits in so well with the rest of my family and we can all eat the same meals.

I know that I havent gone on a diet, this is a change that Ive made for life and I have the tools I need to stay like this forever.

My smile is definitely real now.

Clare has lost a total of 11st 4lb and went from a size 30 to a size 10.

She is also more active nowadays and regularly attends salsa classes in Stafford.

Clare runs her own slimming groups in Penkridge and said: The changes I see in people at my groups are incredible.

I hope my success will inspire other people whod like to lose weight by forming new lifestyle habits and as a result, become happier and healthier.

You can join Clare on Mondays at Hatherton Hall Hotel, Penkridge at 9am, 5.30pm or 7.30pm. For more information call Clare on 07540 230 320 or simply pop along.

Inspirational super slimmer has lost an impressive 11 stone - Stoke-on-Trent Live

Is it OK to eat fruit on a diet? The answer to that question can be confusing, depending on the diet you're following. Low-carb diet proponents typically cut out fruit (too much sugar!). If you're following the keto diet, only the occasional berry is permitted. Oh, and then there's the infamous grapefruit diet, a diet that, although out of favor now, was one that revolved entirely around fruit.

But let's try to mitigate the confusion. There should absolutely be a place for fruit in your diet when you're trying to lose weight. In fact, research shows that the following fruits may actually help with your weight loss.

Both fruits deliver healthy doses of fiber (4 grams in a medium apple and 6 in a medium pear), and that alone makes them diet-friendly. But beyond that, there's also scientific research to show that snacking on apples and pears helps with weight loss. When overweight women were put on a reduced-calorie diet and given an apple or pear three times a day to snack on, they lost more weight over the 12-week study period (and also ended up eating fewer calories each day) than women who snacked on oatmeal cookies.

Dried Plums

You might know dried plums by their alter egos: prunes. "California prunes make this list for a handful of reasons," says Chris Mohr, PhD, RD, of MohrResults.com. "First for their soluble fiber content (3 grams), which helps to keep you feeling full and regulates blood sugar levels." In fact, a 2010 study published in the journal Eating Behaviors found that overweight women who snacked on dried plums before a meal ate fewer calories at the meal, were more satisfied after eating, and had less of an appetite for dessert compared to when they snacked on a calorically equivalent piece of bread before their meal. Another boon for prunes: "They're portable, which makes them a practical choice," says Mohr.

Low in calories (one cup has only 46 calories) and packed with water, watermelon is naturally a great choice for dieters. But is it satisfying, and can it help you lose weight? One recent study suggests it can: When overweight or obese adults ate 2 cups of fresh, diced watermelon, they lost more weight and shrunk their hip-to-waist ratio more after a month compared to when they snacked on a calorically equivalent amount of vanilla wafers. Participants also reported being satisfied for longer after eating watermelon (90 minutes versus a mere 20 after eating the vanilla wafers).

Not a vegetable, but another juicy fruit! While tomatoes are a low-calorie, super-healthy choice, the weight loss research on this fruit was actually done with 100% tomato juice. In a study published in Nutrition, researchers found that when women added a bottle of tomato juice to their daily diet they trimmed their waistline and improved their cholesterol. Although the study was small (20 women), it's important to note that participants didn't make any diet changes whatsoever other than drinking a daily bottle of tomato juice. And that juice actually increased their total daily calorie intake. Still, the tomato juice drinkers reaped both weight and heart benefits.

When overweight adults replaced 50 grams of carbohydrates in their diet with 50 grams of blueberries, they slimmed down and improved their health. After 3 months, the blueberry eaters (when compared to their counterparts who didn't eat blueberries but continued to eat 50 grams of carbohydrates) lowered their BMI, lost more body fat, and improved some of their cholesterol levels.

Eat These Fruits If You're Trying to Lose Weight - msnNOW

GRAND RAPIDS, MI - A local doctor has gained weight intentionally in order to inspire others to lose weight in the new year.

Jeff Cremonte, a doctor of physical therapy, started the Facebook group Drop with Doc. This is the online community where Cremonte and others will go on a weight loss journey starting Jan. 1.

Cremonte, a normally active and healthy person, wanted to show people the process of losing weight and all the components that go into weight loss and improving ones lifestyle overall.

He said many patients who want, or need, to lose weight get the diet and exercise lecture from their doctor, who is typically a very healthy, active person that isnt going through a similar lifestyle change.

I decided I wanted to do something to address that dissonance between the average health care provider and the patient, Cremonte said.

I think sometimes as a healthcare professional, we can kind of be up on a pedestal and its hard to get the patient to directly buy in.

While hes fit and healthy now, Cremonte was overweight as a child and young adult and went through his own weight loss journey when he went to college and started studying health and medicine.

Cremonte, of Grand Rapids, has a bachelors of clinical exercise science from Grand Valley State University and a doctorate degree in physical therapy from Duke University.

A lot of other providers who are maybe currently really fit or maybe have never struggled with weight loss or gain, they dont really understand the real-life difficulties that people that are actually overweight have to go through, Cremonte said.

Over the past three months, Cremonte has changed up his diet and exercise habits significantly and has now gained approximately 22 pounds. Before, he was eating nutritious, low calorie foods and working out four to five times a week.

Now, hes eating more calorie-dense foods on an unregulated schedule and works out two to three times a week. He said hes had to force himself to eat more than usual and consistently feels uncomfortable.

The 26-year-old doctor stands at 5 feet 10 inches and currently weights 187 pounds, up from his former weight of 165 pounds.

I just feel fatigued all the time, my joints hurt more, I get out of breath quicker, a lot of stomach discomfort, my feet hurt, Cremonte said. What I did was definitely unhealthy. I was so confident in what Drop with Doc has to offer people that I was willing to put my body on the line.

Those who join the Facebook group will start to see Cremontes posts beginning Jan. 1. He said the first phase of the program will be setting a behavioral goal.

We cant always control how much weight falls off our body, Cremonte said.

We can control our habits, our behaviors, our actions that will eventually get us the results that we want. So, for example, right now Im eating terribly, Im not exercising and so for my goals over the next couple months I want to start going to the gym more.

Over the course of the next several months, the Facebook group members will be educated on advertising schemes, meal tracking, goal setting, nutrition and more.

They will also have access to Cremonte, who provides individualized, preventative healthcare through his business, Leap Health. The online program runs through Memorial Day, May 27.

Cremonte wants to lose a pound a week or one and a half pounds every two weeks until he loses the 22 pounds. He said that measurement is a healthy way to lose weight over time, but he tries to not have his clients focus on numbers as much as habits over time.

My body, right now, is addicted to this kind of unhealthy lifestyle, Cremonte said. Our bodies have this defense mechanism where it wants to maintain the current, so its going to be a lot of work.

Many people are already in this state and thats exactly the reason why Cremonte chose to intentionally change his lifestyle, so he could go through the ups and downs alongside his clients. Because of it all being online, the Facebook group will allow Cremonte to reach an even wider audience.

More than 70 people had joined the Facebook group as of Friday, Dec. 20.

What a productive use of time, Cremonte said. Now I can help hundreds of thousands of people all at the same time. What an incredible use of technology.

Dad Motivated To Lose Weight After Feeling Disappointed On A Hiking Trip With Kids - Moms

If youve already begun the prep to commence on a New Year, New Me fitness resolution then let us tell you that to lose weight or to tone down is just part one of this resolution! Part two consists of you actually taking care of yourself and not falling back into your old patterns, bad eating habits and lifestyle like 23-year-old Rijul Chopra did by first: losing 28 kgs by following a calorie deficit diet plan and second: training regularly to build healthy muscle mass.

Says Rijul, I weighed 100 kgs when I commenced my fitness journey after the twelfth grade. Id always get teased and body-shamed for being overweight. I wanted to look good and feel great before joining a college, so I decided to join a gym and followed the below weight loss routine to trim from 100 kgs to 72 kgs.

In the beginning, I was totally oblivious to weight loss diets, routines and even gym workouts. But shortly after joining a gym, I learnt the importance of eating well and also got stronger by exercising right. I also learnt how being in a caloric deficit state (achieved by following a calorie deficit diet) can help one lose weight along with the importance of consuming proper macronutrients (proteins, carbs and fats)."

QUICK READ: How to lose weight by calculating your macronutrients right

A calorie deficit is a specific diet pattern that revolves around the number of calories you consume in a day. According to Healthline, the concept is based on the idea that as long as you eat fewer calories than you burn, youre bound to lose weight.

This diet pattern requires you to calculate the number of calories your body needs to consume to function smoothly without feeling hungry, and how much deficit you need create without harming your health.

The deficit can then be created by cutting down empty calories and unhealthy fats. Keep in mind that the number of calories required to create a deficit is different for different body types. You can calculate yours online via a calorie calculator. Rijul tells us that the first and foremost thing he did was buy a kitchen scale in order to properly track his calories and macros. You can weigh all your food on a kitchen scale to know its exact quantity. Based on this number, you can just enter that food and its newly-found correct quantity on a fitness app or even Google to calculate its macros and eat without starving yourself.

QUICK READ: How many calories should you eat every day to lose weight?

I needed a total of 3000 calories to maintain my weight. So I reduced 300 calories and then after 3-4 weeks another 100 and then so on until I was eating 1900-2000 calories a day this was my way of creating a deficit. During this phase, I was consuming 2 gms protein per kg of my bodyweight and rest of the calories were consumed in the form of carbs and fats. I also incorporated fruits and veggies in my diet to keep the fibre intake in check and drank 3 litres of water a day to help my body digest the food better.

"This diet routine was supported by a mix of the below weight training and cardiovascular training exercise regime."

My workout regime followed a typical split training routine. I used to train 5-6 days a week targeting each part of the body on a particular day. For example: Monday: Chest, Tuesday: Back, etc. Moving forward, I also incorporated ab workouts, functionally training and compound lifts in order to build strength.

I also used to indulge in a cardio routine, every alternate day. This included running on the treadmill, cycling, etc.

Notably, it took my 7-8 months to shed 28 kgs and trim down to 72kgs. I have been training in the gym for about 4 years now and have built up my muscles.
