Gemma Collins has revealed she hopes to be pregnant next year when she turns 40.

The reality TV star has been trying to prepare her body in order to conceive and has lost nearly three stone on the advice of doctors.

Gemma believes if she could become pregnant, she could send a positive message to women who start a family later in their lives.

I would love to have a child, she told The Sun.

It would be great for me and such a positive message for all the girls out there who dont want to rush their life or their life has taken different a direction, like me whos put their career first.

But in my forties Id love everybody to see The GC walking around with a pram.

When it comes to conceiving a child, Gemma, who refers to herself as The GC, has had regular consultations with her doctor about her prospects, having suffered a number of miscarriages in her thirties.

And though shes been told it is possible for her to become pregnant doctors have advised losing weight could help her achieve her parenting dream.

I can definitely have a child, he just told me it would be easierwhen Im not carrying as much weight, she told The Sun.

He gave me the confidence not to panic about it. He told me to lose a few stone and it will help me.

And the lockdown period has provided Gemma with an opportunity to take stock of where she was in life and make some positive changes for the future.

Things are a lot calmer now, she said. Im cooking my own meals at home, riding my bike in the countryside and enjoying long walks. I am established. My career has gone above and beyond.

An additional factor in Gemmas journey to motherhood is that she hasPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition that affects how a woman's ovaries work and can impact fertility.

Gemma was 28 when she was diagnosed with the condition after becoming alarmed by sudden weight gain.

She says: I was always very slim. But I really started piling on the weight and Ill never forget it.

I said to my mum, Have you shrunk my clothes?. She said, I hate to break this to you,but youre putting on weight.

Figures frompcos-uk.org.uksuggest that one in 10 women have PCOS, which roughly translates into 3.5 million women in the UK, and makes it the most common female hormone condition.

Symptoms can include irregular periods, weight gain and excess hair growth.

Some women with the condition can experience difficultygetting pregnant as a result of irregular ovulation or failure to ovulate.

Women who are overweight and trying to get pregnant will be advised to lose weight before trying fertility drugs or treatments, explains Mr Parijat Bhattacharjee, consultant gynaecologist at BMI The Clementine Churchill Hospital and BMI Syon Clinic in West London.

Losing weight might be enough to restart ovulation, and fertility drugs are also most effective on women with a healthy body mass index.

According to the NHS medications are also available to treat symptoms such as excessive hair growth, irregular periods and fertility problems.

If fertility medications are not effective, a simple surgical procedure called laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) may be recommended.

This involves using heat or a laser to destroy the tissue in the ovaries that's producing androgens, such as testosterone.

For women who do get pregnant, being a healthy weight helps to reduce the risk of complications throughout the pregnancy, including gestational diabetes, high blood pressure and pre-eclampsia, Mr Bhattacharjee adds.

Jerry Brainum has been a science writer, researcher and lecturer for more than 30 years in the bodybuilding industry. Throughout those 30 years hes amassed a superset of knowledge. Hes shared that knowledge in our original series Straight Facts in the past and continues to do so with his Applied Metabolics newsletter. Thats why we wanted to sit down and talk with Brainum about the realities of bodybuilding weight loss and cutting a vital part of the competition prep process. In our latest GI Exclusive interview, Jerry Brainum details the realities behind body fat percentage in bodybuilding and weight loss tips.

A bodybuilder needs to do two major things with their physique build up massive muscle and then cut it down into a dry and conditioned aesthetic. The ultimate goal is to have the largest size and shape of muscle possible while also getting the skin as thin as possible. This allows the judges (and audience) to see the true extent of their physique without and water weight softening things.

Cutting down body fat percentage for a bodybuilding competition is a delicate thing. It can also be dangerous. Thats why in our video interview, Jerry Brainum breaks down the truth about pro bodybuilder body fat percentages.

Brainum claims that the usual body fat percentage of a pro bodybuilder falls around 5%-7%. In some extreme cases, a bodybuilder might be able to go down to 3% overall body fat percentage. He stresses that this is extremely rare. He also stresses that any bodybuilder that claims to have less than 3% is lying. Brainum states that its humanly impossible to achieve that low of number.

Jerry Brainum also discusses just how vital genetics plays a roll in how a person can gain or lose weight. The unfortunate truth is some bodybuilders will have to struggle a lot more to bring their body fat percentage low enough to compete successfully. Every body is genetically different. But in a world of bodybuilding where physiques need to all match the same standard, some competitors will struggle much more than others.

Jerry Brainum details the specific genes that determine such fate for bodybuilders (and any person really). He also spends some time debunking popular weight loss tactics such as fat freezing and liposuction. The overall truth is one many probably dont want to hear. These medical procedures dont always work. They can also damage your cells permanently. Ultimately, there is no easy way to lose weight. If you are someone who struggles to lose weight you just have to work harder on good nutrition and exercise.

You can see Jerry Brainum explain in detail by watching our latest GI Exclusive interview segment above.

In a piece in LiveStrong, medically reviewed by Dr. Claudia Thompson, it's reiterated that protein shakes are great for weight loss, muscle growth, and even just simple fitness goals, but drinking them every day might not be necessary. It's all about your requirements, related to how much exercise you're doing, and what you're eating.You'll likely get much of your protein from meat, dairy, fish and eggs. But it's worth noting soy, beans, legumes, and whole-grains are also great sources of protein.

It's recommended you get about 0.8 grams of protein per kilo of body weight daily, according to Harvard Health. If you feel as though you're not getting enough, protein shakes can definitely help. However, according to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, most Americans are getting more than enough protein. Only bodybuilders, for example, might want the extra protein on a daily basis.

At Providence Fit Body Boot Camp, we never stopped working and supporting our clients the entire time we were shut down.

Even with the fact that we were running sessions remotely, and watched folks workout in their spare rooms, kitchens, basements, attics and garages without equipment they STILL get amazing results.

We are on our third challenge since the closedown, and every challenge netted our members' amazing results!.

But how, you may ask? Werent we supposed to gain the quarantine 15?

Not Providence Fit Body Boot Camp members!! Instead of retreating and disappearing after closing our doors, we stepped up a notch, and delivered high-level programs for folks to follow at home, so all our members stayed in their routines.

Creative Programs and Move

We created programs to keep people engaged, and we continuously coached our members throughout the whole ordeal so they could create new habits and stay in top physical condition, while others regressed.

The main ingredient to success is to create a system of small habits and consistently adhering to them.

Its not about eating organic food, or exercising with fancy equipment, its developing the habit to eat properly, and to just move.

Once you adopt those habits, you can refine things, and move to the next level, but not until you create the basic lifestyle habits that will put you one step closer to your goals.

Ever know someone that eats junk food and candy all day, yet never gains weight?

We all do, then we scratch our heads and wonder, how can they eat like that and still stay thin?

Well here is a news flash for you. If you eat fewer calories than you burn, your body will be in a calorie deficit, and you will lose weight regardless of the quality of the food.

However, weight is not weight in the fitness world, and your body responds differently to different types of food. (I will explain that later)

You see that person that eats the candy all day?

Well, that candy you see them consume maybe a majority of the calories that they eat throughout their entire day.

Even if the calories are less than desirable, the person wont gain additional weight as long as their calories dont exceed the formula required to lose, or NOT gain weight.

I used to worry about eating the correct foods first then adopting a system to count the calories and macros.

This worked 100 % of the time when people followed the program, however, what I have discovered is that taking smaller steps more frequently enables a higher percentage of people achieving success with their program as opposed to trying to change someones habits all at once.

Since the gym closed down, we have incorporated new technology into our programs that keep people accountable, as well as shine a light on exactly how many calories one eats.

The new system also creates a formula to prescribe how many calories one should eat for weight loss or weight gain based on their height, weight, activity level, BMI, and a few other statistics.

This is where the system of creating better habits starts.

First, we get people in a calorie deficit and make them aware of what the food they are currently eating contains for calories.

We have a coaching app that adds all the calories and breaks down the macronutrients automatically.

At this point, we dont tell you what foods to eat, just maintain your calorie budget.

This goes against everything I used to believe in, because I am a big advocate of eating organic, whole, non-processed food, however, expecting someone to adopt the same principle from day 1 is overwhelming for some, and people were getting discouraged and not following through.

After 2 weeks of logging everything you eat, then we start to break things down more by prescribing a protein goal.

Remember earlier when I said weight is not weight in the fitness world?

I was referring to muscle weight vs. fat weight.

Even though that person that eats candy all day and looks the same, doesnt mean they are not skinny fat.

Skinny fat is when you are thin, yet have no muscle tone, and are still flabby and soft, regardless of your dimensions.

In order to build and maintain muscle, you need to do resistance training, and eat protein.

Heres where step 2 comes into play.

At this point, folks become aware of overall calories, so now we prescribe a protein goal for them, so they eat enough qualityfood to build muscle, yet still stay in their calorie budget, and avoid gaining excess body fat.

In addition to the food you eat, maintaining good habits such as water intake, and sleep are essential to achieving your fitness goals. We included that in our new system too, so you develop the habit of hydration and sleep along with the exercise and nutrition portion of the program.

So, in conclusion, I want to let you know that having goals is great, but creating systems to achieve your goals is essential, or your goal will never be accomplished.

I still believe that the body responds best to high quality organic whole foods, however, I realized that meeting someone where they are currently at, and making small minor adjustments to their daily routine and creating small regular habits, will set someone up for success easier than changing their lifestyle all at once.

So, if you are on a journey to get healthier and become more fit, start by creating small habits first, and just get started.

Too many people wait for the perfect opportunity, but there is never a perfect time to get started.

Instead of waiting til you buy new sneakers, go for a walk today. Instead of creating the perfect meal plan, start drinking more water now.

If you start small, stay consistent, and keep adding new and healthy habits to your routine, you will be destined for success.

If you would like more info on how to get fit and create better habits for yourself email me: [emailprotected] and we will set you up with a consultation and get you started.

5 Healthy Smoothie Recipes People Trying To Lose Weight Should Have For Breakfast - MensXP.com

The musician Robbie Williams has his way of keeping himself in perfect shape. Although, it did not appear thanks to the advice of a doctor or books about healthy nutrition, but rather because of Williams strange lifestyle. He spoke about the latter in an interview with The Sun:

In the morning, I just dont get up. I have no fasting or special reason to do this. Rather, I sleep all the time that others deny themselves morning food. I dont go to bed before 5 or 6 in the morning. Im just an owl in my lifestyle and I was born that way. And not that I liked it.

According to Robbie, he can not do anything with his bizarre biorhythms and has long been resigned to this state of affairs:

I would not want this to be so, but in the end, the most productive period begins with me from one in the morning to five in the morning. At this time, I do everything outlined, after I go to bed and wake up at noon. Then I eat around 5 p.m. and feel full.

The strangest thing is that as soon as I had children, this unusual phenomenon stopped happening. I believe that as soon as you have children, they simply take away all your energy and all unnecessary thoughts, said the musician.

Question: I want to lose weight and see a lot of ads on Facebook about diet plans with patches and shakes. Do they work?

Answer: I see them as well and know many people that have tried them with various success levels.

I would recommend reading the reviews of people who have used the product first before buying it to get an idea. And remember that diet and exercise always work best.

Question: My kids want to go to the water parks this summer and I am worried about the virus but I dont want to not take them somewhere fun. What can we do about water activities?

Answer: It is hard to say at this point. I personally am not going to a water park this summer even though my younger family members enjoy them.

The beaches or larger areas where you can socially distance yourselves may be a better option if you want to be near water activities.

Stay safe and well hydrated.

I look forward

Most of us have this misconception that quinoa is a grain. Quinoa is not a grain but the seed of goosefoot plant. It is cooked like grain and also has similar properties.

Quinoa is loaded with protein, which makes it perfect for people who are trying to shed those extra kilos. It also has all the essential amino acids required by the body. Moreover, it is gluten-free, which makes it a good option for people who are allergic to gluten. If you have celiac disease, buy only certified quinoa to avoid any complications.

These tiny seeds are full of fibre, which help in keeping you fuller for longer and thus stop you from binge eating. The high fibre content in quinoa also improves digestion, lowers cholesterol and keeps blood sugar level in control.

Not just this, quinoa is also rich in some important nutrients like manganese, zinc, calcium, potassium, phosphorous, selenium and magnesium.

It also has anti-inflammatory property, which makes it good for your gut and overall health.

A separate real-world study showed that people with type 2 diabetes on two oral antidiabetic drugs who intensified with a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) were significantly more likely to reach their blood sugar goals and lose weight compared to adding a further oral antidiabetic drug(s) or insulin.1

Bagsvrd, Denmark, 13 June 2020 Novo Nordisk today announced results from two real-world studies: EXPERT, which confirms the efficacy Ozempic (onceweekly semaglutide) demonstrated in the SUSTAIN clinical trial programme, and PATHWAY, which supports recommendations in clinical guidelines by showing that initiation of a GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) helps people with type 2 diabetes reach their blood sugar goals (measured by HbA1c) while also losing weight. These studies, which analysed data from US databases, were presented during the American Diabetes Association 80th Scientific Sessions.1,2

The EXPERT study showed that a switch to Ozempic from another GLP-1 RA in people with type 2 diabetes was associated with statistically significant reductions in blood sugar and weight, independent of the previous GLP-1 RA used. After 6 months, the study showed HbA1c reductions of 2.2% for people with HbA1c levels above 9% at baseline and HbA1c reductions of 1.1% for those with HbA1c levels above 7% at baseline. These reductions were sustained after 12 months. Average weight loss of 2.2 kg was observed at 6 months, but was more pronounced with 3.5 kg at 12 months, for all participants.2

A second real-world study, PATHWAY, pointed to the increased effectiveness of the GLP-1 RA class compared with other oral antidiabetic drugs or insulin in people with type 2 diabetes on two oral antidiabetic drugs requiring treatment intensification. Ozempic was not one of the GLP-1 RA treatments given at intensification because the study data were collated before Ozempic was fully established on the US market.

The PATHWAY study showed that intensifying treatment with a GLP-1 RA resulted in a statistically significant increased likelihood of achieving HbA1c below 7% and weight reduction from baseline compared with adding a further oral antidiabetic (s). These blood glucose and weight reductions were more pronounced compared with insulin intensification, where those taking a GLP-1 RA were almost twice as likely to achieve HbA1c below 7% and approximately three times more likely to lose weight.1

GLP-1 receptor agonists have been shown to safely lower blood glucose levels and help lower weight, therefore they are recommended by all diabetes treatment guidelines as either second- or third-line treatment options in most people with type 2 diabetes, said study investigator Dr. Ildiko Lingvay, who consults for Novo Nordisk and is a Professor of Internal Medicine, and Population and Data Sciences at UT Southwestern Medical Center. These data provide information from the real-world use of GLP-1 receptor agonists and further support the recommendations in the clinical guidelines by showing that initiation of a GLP-1 receptor agonist helps more people with type 2 diabetes reach their blood sugar goals while also helping them lose weight.

More than half of people with type 2 diabetes do not reach their blood sugar target, yet we know that consistently poor blood sugar control can lead to serious complications, said Mads Krogsgaard Thomsen, executive vice president and chief science officer of Novo Nordisk. Real-world data is therefore essential to help physicians select optimal treatment for their patients to meet their blood sugar goals, and it is reassuring to see from the EXPERT study that the efficacy Ozempic demonstrated in the SUSTAIN Phase 3 clinical trial programme is reflected in routine clinical practice.

Whilst real-world evidence generates valuable insights about the effectiveness of a medicine in a real-life setting, there are also limitations. Real-world studies may be subject to bias and confounding factors, aspects that are controlled for in randomised controlled trials (RCTs). For example, electronic data may be inconsistently collected, with missing data elements that can result in reduced statistical validity. Similarly, adverse events are rarely captured in databases that act as data sources for real-world studies. Therefore, real-world evidence should be considered alongside the results of RCTs and the findings evaluated with appropriate caution. As seen in clinical trials, the most common side effects of Ozempic include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach (abdominal) pain, and constipation.

About EXPERT

The GLP-1-Experienced Patients Switching to Once-Weekly Semaglutide in a Real-World Setting (EXPERT) study used prescription data from Explorys (IBM Watson Health) US medical records database (data cut-off 12/5/19). Adults with type 2 diabetes with 1 prescription for semaglutide (index/switch date), a prescription for any other GLP-1 RA (baseline) in the previous year, and separate HbA1c/weight measurements at 6 and/or 12 months post-index and in the 90-day pre-index period were identified from the database. Participants with valid HbA1c (n=365) and weight (n=480) data were included in the study and had similar baseline characteristics.2

About PATHWAY

The PATHWAY study compared treatment intensification options for glycaemic control in people with type 2 diabetes on two oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs). The PATHWAY study used linked electronic medical records and claims data from IBM MarketScan Explorys Claims-EMR (index period: 3/1/1310/31/18). The study comprised two groups: the HbA1c cohort (n= 4,792) and the weight and composite endpoint analysis cohort (n = 3,927). Participants with 1 claim for 2 different OADs in the 180 days pre-index, 1 claim for another OAD/GLP-1 RA/insulin (index date), 1 HbA1c and/or weight measurement 180 days post-index, and 1 HbA1c and/or weight measurement close to index date (baseline) were included in the study. Cohorts for GLP-1 RAs vs OADs and vs insulin were propensity score matched pairwise by baseline variables and exact matched by HbA1c category, resulting in well balanced cohorts across all baseline characteristics.1

About SUSTAIN clinical trial programme

The SUSTAIN clinical development programme for Ozempic currently comprises 10 Phase 3 global clinical trials, including a cardiovascular outcomes trial, which included people with type 2 diabetes and high cardiovascular risk. The programme involves more than 10,000 adults with type 2 diabetes in total.3-12

About OzempicOzempic (once-weekly semaglutide) is an analogue of the naturally occurring hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). It is administered in a once-weekly injection of 0.5 mg or 1 mg and indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycaemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes as well as to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in adults with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease.13 Ozempic was first approved by the US FDA in 2017 and is now launched in 25 countries.

About Novo Nordisk

Novo Nordisk is a leading global healthcare company, founded in 1923 and headquartered in Denmark.

If youre trying to drop a few pounds, you likely already know the satisfying powers of lean protein and the filling properties of fiber. You're probably hip to grilled chicken breast and steamed broccoli (and maybe even getting pretty sick of them.)

And maybe you've even heard "experts" telling you that you should stick to those lean proteins and vegetables while avoiding fruit, which contains sugar and sugar, these so-called experts argue, makes you fat.

Don't listen to those people.

Fruit is great for weight loss. In fact most have a high water content which also helps with satiety and fullness, says Maggie Michalczyk, M.S., R.D. Sweet fruits are also great to swap in for higher-calorie desserts when youre looking to lose weight, too.

So, for these picks, youre totally able to enjoy them as part of a healthy weight loss routine and incorporate them into meals and snacks. The bottom line here is that fruit is great to incorporate into your diet when you're trying to lose weight because it contains beneficial nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Plus, they're loaded with antioxidants for very few calories, says Michalczyk.

As a general rule, stick with one serving of fruit at a time and choose these 11, which happen to be the highest in nutrient density and best for weight loss.
