In the most recent edition of Schwarzenegger's newsletter, he shared some secret 'fat loss hacks' and wrote:

Schwarzenegger started off by explaining what 'rucking' is.

Later on, the celebrated bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned-politician shared a research fact from South Carolina. This explained how 'rucking' can make you lose weight faster than walking.

Arnold Schwarzenegger added that it's doesn't just burn the extra calories but also helps in weight loss:

The legendary former bodybuilder also mentioned the link that scientists are finding between rucking and the production of 'leptin'.

Additionally. Arnold Schwarzenegger also shared a 'Q&A' that he recently conducted. He answered a few of the questions that fans asked. One fan asked what playlist he listened to while working out.

Arnold replied to the question by stating:

The Austrian Oak also added that he listens to whatever the gym plays while working out.

A woman has caused uproar for refusing to give her stepdaughter birthday cake because of her weight.

The 34-year-old woman took to a popular Reddit thread to share her story but soon realised many people weren't siding with her.

She first explained that she, her husband and their two children lead a healthy lifestyle with treats every now and again. She claimed that her husband's ex has a different mindset.

Her stepdaughter Gwen was visiting for her 6th birthday and understandably, like most people, wanted a birthday cake.

The anonymous woman brutally wrote: "In all honesty, that woman's blood type is probably ketchup. Similarly, Gwen is about 20lb heavier than a 5-year-old girl is supposed to be."

She said that when Gwen visits twice a month, she tries to teach her about healthy life choices.

"It makes me sad for this child and her health so when we get her I try to teach Gwen about healthy eating and moving around," she said, adding: "We have the boys play with her so she's getting active, and we make a distinction between foods that are healthy and ones that aren't."

When Gwen politely asked for a birthday cake to celebrate her birthday, the woman insisted she opted for "low-fat ice cream" as a healthier alternative.

"My reasoning is unfortunately she's still getting all that garbage at home, and it's just not good for a growing girl," the woman wrote."She agreed and we decided to have some low-fat ice cream so she can still have a sweet treat."

"It's a brand Gwen loves and asks for every time she's here, so she was happy with it."

The following day, the stepmum received a furious call from Gwen's mum, who accused her of fat shaming her daughter.

She said that when Gwen got home, she started crying "because she really did want cake but didn't want to 'make a bad choice'."

The post was soon flooded with critics who condemned the woman's actions.

"She's FIVE YEARS OLD, and it was her birthday," one Reddit user wrote, while another added: "You really need to do research on how to properly teach children about health, fitness, etc. because the way youre doing it will only lead to body image issues and an eating disorder.

1000-lb Sisters star Amy Slaton has made plenty of progress over the course of the series, and her transformation has been stunning to see. Amy and her sister Tammy Slaton, who recently had weight loss surgery of her own, have been struggling with their health since they were young. Even through trouble and loss, Amy has managed to defy the odds and lose weight with the help of medical intervention, and continued to try and prioritize her health during 1000-lb Sisters season 4.

1000-lb Sisters' Amy Slaton, who welcomed her second son Glenn in July 2022, has been through a lot during the course of her 1000-lb Sisters run. She had weight loss surgery during the first season, got married to her longtime love Michael Halterman, and then welcomed her first son Gage in the second season of the show. During 1000-lb Sisters season 3, Amy juggled being a mom and maintaining her weight, and had trouble doing so after her second pregnancy. Even with her struggles, Amy has been putting her health first and is doing well, and her weight loss is clear in the photos she posts on Instagram.

Amy's weight has fluctuated for her entire life, but during the early years of 1000-lb Sisters, she was at her highest recorded weight. Weighing in at over 400 pounds, Amy knew she needed to take her health into consideration and finally decided to meet with Dr. Proctor, her bariatric surgeon. She was struggling alongside her sister, Tammy, who was over 600 pounds early in the process. While Tammy had more weight to lose, Amy took to her regimen well and initially lost enough weight to be approved for weight loss surgery.

After Amy's weight loss surgery, she got pregnant quickly with her first son, Gage. This was not advised by her doctors, but Amy decided to roll the dice, as she wanted to be a mother, and wound up having her first baby in November 2020. After Gage was born, Amy took her weight loss seriously and posted some progress photos that show off her initial weight loss. She went from 400 pounds down to 275 pounds, losing about 125 pounds from weight loss surgery and her post-baby slim down. Amy dropped in clothing sizes from wearing a 5X size to a 1X size.

Though Amy was feeling empowered to continue her health journey, her surprise pregnancy with Glenn left her stalling on her weight loss once again. She was nervous to meet with Dr. Proctor after Gage's birth, but when she finally did, the results were exciting rather than disappointing. Amy had managed to maintain her weight, gaining only six pounds between both pregnancies. Though she still has a long way to go, 1000-lb Sisters star Amy has impressed everyone with her ongoing dedication to her health, and it seems that she will continue to do so.

1000-Lb Sisters: Amy Slaton's Weight Loss Transformation In Photos - Screen Rant

My 600-Lb Life star Chris Parsons recently aired his journey on TLC, and he now reveals whether he ever got the weight loss surgery that he declined on the show. When he first started, single dad Chris weighed 620 pounds, and he wasnt happy with the unhealthy path he was on. But throughout the episode, Chris worked hard to change his diet and increase his activity, and eventually lost more than 250 pounds, clocking in at 382 in his final weigh-in of the episode. But unlike most former cast members, Chris journey didnt include weight loss surgery. Though Doctor Nowzaradan advised against it, Chris ultimately proved him wrong.

Chris made impressive progress during his weight loss journey on the show, making the My 600-Lb Life star question whether he needs surgery to help him shed more pounds. I decided to not have the surgery, Chris revealed in an interview with Distractify. I strongly believe that if you can do it without a major surgery, you should. However, Chris clarified that weight loss surgery is not a bad thing," and that if someone is truly struggling to lose weight on their own, youhave to be prepared to get [weight loss surgery]. But for Chris, he wanted to be sure that he gave it a shot without surgery.

Viewers got to see Chris wonderful relationship with his daughter Zoey and how much he adores her. So its no surprise that Zoey provides her My 600-Lb Life star father with all the motivation he needs to lose weight. My daughter and I want to live as long as possible, Chris said. He revealed that as his mobility deteriorated, existing everyday was getting hard, and the thought of not being able to care for Zoey sent me off in the right direction. Chris focused on losing weight naturally, as he feels that is the healthiest option, and he plan[s] to live to be at least 100 years old.

Chris journey stands out because he is one of the few stars in the shows history who decided against weight loss surgery. Many My 600-Lb Life cast members are eager to receive the surgery, and a common storyline is stars who are not approved for surgery because they were not able to lose enough weight on their own. Just a couple of weeks before Chris episode was another cast member, Mark Rutland, who also elected not to get surgery. However, Marks journey was not nearly as successful as Chris. It seems that Chris has the motivation and drive required to lose such significant weight without surgery.

Though Chris employed some questionable weight loss methods, like excessive fasting, theres no denying how much he accomplished. Chris has not shared a full-body update photo on social media recently, but his face is noticeably slimmer in his latest Instagram selfies, and it seems hes still making progress on his weight loss after My 600-Lb Life. Clearly his desire to be the best dad he can be for his daughter gave Chris the push he needed to make the change to a healthier lifestyle.

Chris P. Reveals If He's Gotten Weight Loss Surgery Since My 600 ... - Screen Rant

Pharmacists have today raised the alarm about miracle weight loss jab Wegovy' being sold online illegally.

Semaglutide is the key ingredient behind the fat-fighting loss injection that has taken Hollywood by storm, and was recently approved for use on the NHS.

But amid a general shortage of the drug, Dale Dennis, an OnlyFans model and personal trainer from Howden, East Yorkshire, is selling 10mg packets for up to 115.

These bottles carry labels clearly stating 'not for human consumption', and his website Raw Supplements UK states the drug is sold for 'research purposes only'.

However, on multiple social media profiles linked to his business Mr Dennis encourages people to take the drug to help them lose weight and directing them to his website to secure a supply.

But some buyers who claim to have taken the drug have reported being 'bed bound and throwing up' for two days.

It is unclear if Mr Dennis is actually selling legitimate semaglutide or another kind of substance.

He has stated that he gets it '100 vials at a time' from a source in 'America' on a social media post seen by MailOnline.

This post was made to seek to reassure prospective buyers he was not supplying them with 'cheap Chinese stuff'.

Despite the assurances on Raw Supplements UK that 'We do not provide advice on how to administer this product under UK law, Mr Dennis does so frequently on his social media accounts.

On one post, he says he personally takes '1.5mg' of the drug every four to five days as well as describing how to prepare it.

The official drug information for Wegovy states that people prescribed it should start at at 0.25mg per week and then increasing the dosage in stages, reaching a level of 1.7mg per week about four months into taking it.

But it is prescription onlyand will remain so when it eventually comes onto the British market legitimately in the coming weeks.

As such, and under UK law, offering any productcontaining semaglutide without a prescription is illegal.

Mr Dennis also advises taking other weight-loss products advertised on his website in combination with semaglutide to burn even more fat.

Novo Nordisk, the pharmaceutical company that makes Wegovy and other semaglutide medications like Ozempic for diabetics, says it is 'unknown' if taking it with other weight loss products is safe.

In another post, he claims to have 'thousands of customers' taking his semaglutide and even offers to travel to buyers and let them try the injectable drug themselves.

His company Raw Supplements UK is registered as business involved in the sale of 'sports goods, fishing gear, camping goods, boats and bicycles' and he boasts on social media that he has 10 'employees'.

Kevin Joshua a UK registered pharmacist labelled Mr Dennis's behaviour as 'incredibly dangerous and irresponsible'.

'It is a serious criminal offence to sell controlled, unlicensed or prescription-only medicines to the public in this way,' he said.

'Theres certainly an increased demand for weight loss drugs, but anyone who sells these medicines illegally could be exploiting vulnerable people, and clearly has no regard for their health or welfare.

'Prescription-only medicines are potent and should only be taken under medical supervision which otherwise can lead to severe side effects, or even death.'

Mr Dennis is not a registered pharmacist according to the British regulator the General Pharmaceutical Council database.

Neither is Raw Supplements on a list of websites run by the UK drugs watchdog, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), that are allowed to sell medicines online.

A MHRA spokesperson said: 'Buying medicines other than from reputable suppliers significantly increases your risk of getting a medicine which is not licensed for use in the UK, meaning that there are no safeguards that they meet our quality and safety standards.

'Taking such medicines may put your health at risk.

'We work to identify those unlawfully trading in medicines and will use our powers to take appropriate enforcement action, including, where necessary, prosecuting those who put your health at risk.'

MailOnline approached Mr Dennis for comment.

A Novo Nordisk spokesperson said: 'Where Novo Nordisk is made aware of illicit online offering for its medicines (e.g. selling without requiring prescription) on websites, marketplaces or social media, Novo Nordisk systematically assesses the best course of action, which can include attempting to removing these from the internet or further investigating them.'

'We would advise that any decisions made regarding treatment options should always be made in consultation with a healthcare professional and require strict medical supervision.'

Legitimate semaglutide works by hijacking the brain to suppress appetite and reduce calorie intake, resulting in substantial weight loss.

It is self-administered once a week with pre-filled pens straight into the stomach, thigh or upper arm.

The Wegovy version is specifically designed to help people lose weight while a different formula, branded Ozempic, is solely targeted at patients with type 2 diabetes.

Ozempic has been available on the NHS since 2019 whereas Wegovy was approved only this month.

It lowers their blood sugar and reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes among those who also have heart disease.

Under new recommendations by NHS watchdog the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published last week, Wegovy will be available for people who have a BMI of 35 or more a classification which means they are morbidly obese.

Patients must also have at least one weight-related comorbidity, such as type 2 diabetes, to be eligible.

Adults with a BMI between 30 and 35 could also be recommended the drug, if they have been referred for specialist help.

But patients eligible for the injections must only use them for up to two years.

And, despite being hailed as one of the most powerful pharmaceutical tools to date, experts have warned it is not a 'magic pill' or miracle fix all.

Trials have shown that users can rapidly pile pounds back on once they stop taking the fat-fighting drug, dubbed 'Hollywood's worst-kept secret' and used by the likes of Elon Musk.

And it can trigger a variety of nasty side effects. Some patients have told of how they have had to stop taking the drug because of them.

Users commonly complain of nausea, constipation and diarrhoea after taking the medication.

1. Skip meals

If you're trying to limit your calorie intake as much as possible, you may make the mistake of skipping meals. However, Sabat says that this will backfire over time. "Skipping meals can lead to low energy levels, overeating later on, and even nutrient deficiencies," she says. You'll likely be missing protein, for example, if you frequently skip breakfast or lunch. And ultimately, you may find yourself overindulging on fattening foods later in the day. All of this will hold you back from your weight loss goals. "A better strategy is to include 3 balanced meals to avoid becoming too hungry in the evening, missing vital nutrients or binging on unhealthy snacks," Sabat suggests.

In addition to skipping meals, you may find yourself reaching for the lowest calorie foods possible in order to slim down. However, Sabat says this is one sure-fire way to devoid yourself of nutrientsand ramp up your cravings. "If your body is not getting the nutrition it needs, it will continue to crave and be hungry despite what you already ate," she says. "A better strategy is to eat real food as part of a balanced diet with a variety of nutrient-dense foods."

If you have it in your head that fat and carbs are bad for you, it's time to shake that idea. Sabat explains that at one point, researchers thought that fat was the main culprit of weight gain, so many people decided that the best plan of actions was to cut it out of their diets completely. However, she warns against this strategy, and says you should incorporate healthy fats like avocado, nuts and seeds, and olive oil into each meal. "People that avoid all fats can end up with nutrient deficiencies and a lack of essential fatty acids but most importantly for weight loss they also will lack satiety and overeat from other food groups especially carbohydrates," she says.

But that leads us to another point: While it's important not to overindulge on carbs in place of fat, you also shouldn't cut this food group out of your diet completely, as "avoiding all carbohydrates can lead to weight loss failure." In fact, Sabat tells us that "carbs play an important role in providing energy and should be worked into your meal plan rather than avoided completely." Instead, she says you should eat high-fiber, lower glycemic carbs alongside protein and healthy fats.

Overall, it's important to maintain a balanced diet filled with all the proper nutrients your body needs to thriveand that includes both healthy fats and carbs.

The Worst Weight Loss Tips That Will Never Work, According To Nutritionists - SheFinds

Coke

In 2021, Coca-Cola was ranked the leading carbonated beverage company in the United States. Even though it is popular (and delicious!) Coke is not a healthy soda brand for weight loss. There are several reasons for this: its high sugar content, high-calorie content, lack of nutrients, and negative health effects like heart disease.

"Coke contains high amounts of sugar, which can lead to weight gain and negatively impact overall health," Mordi explains. "A single 12-ounce can of Coke contains around 39 grams of sugar, which is almost double the recommended daily intake of sugar for adults." Coke also boasts fan-favorite flavors like Cherry Coke, Diet Coke, Vanilla Coke, and more.

"Coke is also high in calories. A 12-ounce can of Coke contains around 140 calories, which can add up quickly if consumed regularly," Mordi adds. "Coke does not provide any significant nutritional value. It is essentially just sugar and water, with some added flavors and colors." If you consume Coke regularly, this could not only lead to weight gain, but also obesity, type 2 diabetes, and tooth decay. So, if weight loss is the goal, it is best to avoid sipping on Coca-Cola regularly.

And, like Coke, Sprite is not a healthy soda brand for weight loss because of its sugar content, lack of nutrients, and negative side effects. "Sprite, like Coke, contains high amounts of sugar, which can lead to weight gain and negatively impact overall health. A single 12-ounce can of Sprite contains around 38 grams of sugar, which is almost the recommended daily intake of sugar for adults," Mordi says. "Sprite is also high in calories. A 12-ounce can of Sprite contains around 140 calories, which can add up quickly if consumed regularly." Yikes! That's why it's not good for weight loss.

And, another popular soda brand that is not good for weight loss. Like Coca-Cola and Sprite, Dr. Pepper is high in sugar and lacks the nutrients your body needs. "A single 12-ounce can of Dr. Pepper contains around 40 grams of sugar, which is almost double the recommended daily intake of sugar for adults," Mordi says. "Dr. Pepper is also high in calories. A 12-ounce can of Dr. Pepper contains around 150 calories, which can add up quickly if consumed regularly." It is essentially just sugar and water, with some added flavors and colors. So, overall, it is best to limit or avoid soda consumption if you're trying to lose weight.

Even though America loves it, soda is not something you should have every day if you plan to lose weight. Now that you know more about the effects of sodas and the brands to look out for, you may find it's much easier to reach for a healthier option when you're craving a fizzy drink. If you still want that carbonated taste, opt for kombucha instead! Not only is kombucha lower in calories and sugar, but it also promotes a healthier gut because it's rich in beneficial probiotics.
