Keto diet in Hollywood, Silicon valley, and now and hearts of Ukrainian bloggers. This diet allows you to eat fatty food and burn fat, explained nutritionist Natalia Samoilenko in the post in Instagram.

According to her, keto is not only treats illness, but also ensures rapid weight loss without hunger, frustrations and cravings for sweets, and as a bonus you are filled with energy, like new battery.

What is keto diet

Its almost the lack of carbs is 5%, a small presence of protein 15-20% and a large number of high-quality fats 75% of all the food that you eat.

The main source of energy for our body glucose. In the body, it comes from carbohydrates. But when carbohydrate intake is too low, the reserves of glucose is not replenished, the body begins to use as energy body fat and the fats coming from food. The liver starts to produce organic matter the ketones that become new, better quality fuel for our body. This process is called ketosis.

Going into ketosis, you will feel like reborn! Concentration improves, memory improves, sleep becomes tighter, and the waist is thinner, I dont feel hunger and the constant desire to eat something delicious, explains Natalia.

But to maintain the state of ketosis is important to eliminate all sources of glucose: fruits, anything that contains flour and sugar, cereals and all grains, starchy vegetables, legumes.

The only fruit that is allowed is avocado.

According to nutritionist, you can intercept a cookie and return to the keto diet as if nothing had happened.

However, keto diet lot of fatty fish, meat, nuts, seeds, avocado, fatty dairy products (but sometimes during entry into ketosis milk excluded), eggs, herbs, cheese, butter and olive oil.

Allowed carbohydrates in vegetables that grow above the ground (low-carb). Green vegetables, asparagus, zucchini, cucumbers, all kinds of cabbage, Kale, leafy vegetables, green beans, radishes are also suitable.

The pros and cons of cattily watch the video:

There are not many contraindications to keto. But do not experiment with the keto diet in chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and certain other genetic disorders that are incompatible with ketosis.

Yourself to sit on the keto diet I do not recommend. Yes, its a great diet, the fat loss is faster, than regular other nutrition programs, plus weight, but I urge to be more responsible and start your keto journey with a specialist, summed up Natalia Samoilenko.

In the meantime we found out all about coping: what you need to know about the new food trend.

Waking improves creativity, can help with weight loss: 5 ways to avoid sitting all day  |  Photo Credit: iStock Images

New Delhi: Walking is a great form of exercise to improve your overall health and well-being. It can help you lose weight, prevent or manage certain medical conditions such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Now, a study by Standford researchers has found that walking boosts creative thinking.

According to the research, creativitylevels were higher for individuals walking compared to those sitting. The new study found that a persons creative output raised by an average of 60 per cent when walking.

According to the study co-authored by Marily Oppezzo, a Stanford doctoral graduate in educational psychology, and Daniel Schwartz, a professor at Stanford Graduate School of Education, walking indoors or outdoors improves creativity levels - consistently and significantly. However, the authors noted that the main factor was walking itself and not the environment.

Many people anecdotally claim they do their best thinking when walking. We finally may be taking a step, or two, toward discovering why, Oppezzo and Schwartz wrote in the study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory and Cognition.

One of the experiments observed that walking indoors on a treadmill in a room or walking outdoors in the fresh air produced the same creativity results - both outdoor and indoor walkings caused twice as many creative responses than sitting.

I thought walking outside would blow everything out of the water, but walking on a treadmill in a small, boring room still had strong results, which surprised me, said Oppezzo, now an adjunct faculty member at Santa Clara University.

However, the researchers noted that walking appeared to have no link to focused thinking, although it had a positive effect on creative thinking.

This isnt to say that every task at work should be done while simultaneously walking, but those that require a fresh perspective or new ideas would benefit from it, Oppezzo added.

The study comprised of four experiments involving 176 college students and other adults who completed their tasks commonly used by researchers to measure creative thinking.

Sitting down too much puts you at an increased risk of several conditions, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, cancer and early death. Walking is a great activity that can help you burn calories and aid weight loss. According to Mayo Clinic, just adding 30 minutes of brisk walking to your daily routine will help you burn about 150 more calories a day - yet, the faster and longer you walk, the more calories youll burn.

Tips to avoid sitting all day

And heres how to walk more and sit less to maintain weight and stay healthy:

So, keep walking, find ways to stay active wherever you are, but ensure that you eat a healthy, balanced diet for a healthier, fitter, happier and wiser you.

James Arg Argent has said his drug addiction was a symptom of an eating order after years battling with his weight.

The former The Only Way Is Essex star - who recently opened up about suffering a near-fatal cocaine overdose in 2019 - has now told how he turned to binging on drugs and junk food to cope with jokes about his weight.

Argent, 32, told The Sun: The core of my addiction stems from my eating disorder. I binge on food if I hate the way I look...

Id feel down so Id start using drugs at 9pm until 6am, not eating a thing. Then Id wake up, feel low and be absolutely starving and I would binge on everything from fizzy drinks, burgers, fast food, crisps, snacks, pizzas, takeaways to the point where I couldnt possibly eat any more to feel better.

Then Id look in the mirror, see Im the biggest Ive ever been, then think, When is a suitable time for a dealer to drop me off.

The TOWIE star described it as a vicious cycle.

Argent revealed when he attended a rehab clinic in Thailand at the beginning of the year he was the heaviest he has ever been at 23 and a half stone.

He has shed five stone and is already feeling better in myself.

Read more:James Argent warned to lose 10 stone

Argent said he did not regret joining the cast of ITV reality show The Only Way Is Essex in 2010, but admitted being in the public eye made him the target of criticism about his weight.

He said: I was constantly getting bantered about the way I looked and people taking the p**s out of my weight, calling me Large Arg or the tubby crooner on social media...

James Argent met on-off girlfriend Gemma Collins when they starred together on 'TOWIE'. (Getty Images)

People didnt realise it was hurting me because when they see me Im always really happy and friendly and laughing off all the fat jokes. It was really hurting me inside.

But he also credited the show with helping him find love with co-star Gemma Collins, 39.

Argent said she was not an enabler, and had been extremely tough on him over his drugs use.

He added that now he is clean and sober they are eager to get married and start a family.

captionJorge Blanco training with Chris Hemsworth.sourceJorge Blanco

Jorge Blanco is a Toronto-based Spanish personal trainer who has worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Chris Hemsworth, Drake, Robert Pattinson, and even former royalty, Meghan Markle.

Blanco trained Markle when she was filming Suits in Canada, telling Vanity Fair Spain that he had a great time training with her because she is super sympathetic and also speaks Spanish with an Argentine accent.

And now the celebrity trainer has explained to Insider exactly how he trains his clients and why he favors fight training for losing weight and getting in shape.

As famous as some of Blancos clients are, he said theres no real difference between working with high profile individuals and an average client.

They are all human beings, Blanco told Insider. The only thing that could be slightly different is the crazy schedules.

His former client list reads like the guest list of an incredible Hollywood party, and Blanco feels privileged to work with some of the biggest stars in the world.

To me working with every one of them is an absolute honor, especially with Drake and Chris, he said.

Blanco described Drake as someone who picks things up very fast and is very fun to work with.

As for Hemsworth, Blanco has not only trained him but he is part of the actors workout app, Centr, which Insiders Jacob Sarkisian tried and thought was ideal during lockdown.

Blanco is one of 12 trainers on the app, and described it as such a cool project.

Formerly the Spanish National Kickboxing Champion and a member of the Spanish National and Olympic Boxing Team, Blanco uses this training in his workout programs now.

That said, he tailors his workouts to the client.

I dont make it about my style or preferences, Blanco said. I use a lifetime of knowledge and experiences working with some of the best athletes in the world to make my student better in whatever area they wish to improve.

I am a perfectionist so I am not for everyone, however, I feel like whoever can put up with me, they will be happy with the overall result and performance.

Blanco believes fighting training (non-contact) is a complete form of training, both physically and mentally.

I always emphasize the mental aspect of fighting at a high level to my students, he said.

In my experience, if you control your mind you definitely can get your body to achieve pretty much anything.

And the trainer says combat training is absolutely a good idea if you want to lose weight.

Fighting training options and exercises are limitless, there are tons of different movements that can get the body and heart rate going, getting everyone to that fat burning state pretty easily, he said.

Although workout sessions vary based on a clients abilities and goals, Blanco gave Insider an example of a training session he would typically create for a non-professional athlete.

The workout begins with a warm-up and mobility movements.

Next, its time to work on fundamental movements of the human body. This means the basic movements that all workout exercises are comprised of, including squat, lunge, hinge, push, and pull.

I am a big believer in fundamentals and also students tend to be better at patterns they understand so we practice them constantly, Blanco said.

The third part of the workout is where the combat aspect comes in, working on fight specific tasks, whether its a kick we want to perfect, a flying knee, or a particular combination.

To finish off, Blanco takes his clients through a gentle stretch to cool down and help with achieving optimal recovery.

Ultimately, Blanco says the most important thing is showing up for yourself.

The key to training is being consistent, every day just a little bit, he said.

The days when you dont want to are the days that count the most.

Club Industry was not involved in the creation of this content.

For the first time the entire fitness industry can unite across the globe to hijack every social media platform with these two simple messages:

No matter what aspect of the industry we look at we have all taken a hit owners, trainers, group fitness instructors, suppliers, business coaches and associations. No one has escaped COVID 19.

Nevertheless, governments across the globe have consistently allowed exercise as they know it helps the mental health of people. They have opened the door for us and now we must unite and charge through the door.

Additionally, while 20 to 30 or 40% of our members feel safe to return to our clubs there is still a group that dont and together the industry can reinforce that gyms are safe.

Just imagine for a moment IF:

Why cannot this happen?

It can and together we can make it happen!

Now is the time for the fitness industry to call on our troops as we go to battle across the globe to ignite our industry and bring confidence to our product and locations.

Together we have enormous reach, so lets unite on the 1st June to blitz every social media platform!

Every country and even every state are in different stages of opening or even not opening. That is not a reason to not participate in this Call to Arms. Your county, state or even country Politicians might just take notice if there is a ground swell saying gyms are safe. No matter the situation, we all need to show to solidarity and tell our communities that:

The Social Media Attack

On the 1st June every fitness business, supplier, staff member and members post on their social media platforms this message:

If you didn't know:

Gyms and fitness studios are safe and the place to build your:

#gymsaresafe #exerciseismedicine

You can do a static image, a video message, a long post or even a Tic Toc!

The key to this is to use the two hash tags #gymsaresafe #exerciseismedicine, so for 24 hours this is a trending topic across the platforms and the world.

Kept Simple

It is that simple! And meant to be that simple so everyone can do it!

This Call To Arms has deliberately been kept simple, to allow businesses of all sizes to be involved and then add their own brand to it.

There is no website for you to sign to or a lead capture activity for gyms and studios who participate. This is just a coordinated approach to dominating social media for one day!

A grass roots approach to bring attention to the benefits of exercise and that gyms are safe.

Your Actions

Turn the above copy into a relevantly branded image which should be branded with your business logo and website.

Post it on your business social media accounts.

Have every one of your staff to post it on their social media platform on the 1st June.

Ask your super hero members to share it too!

The key is to include to the hash tags: #gymsaresafe #exerciseismedicine

For Your Business

Suggested copy for your team with the image, We care about your health. Your gym/studio/trainer are ready now to help you get healthy and build your immunity. #gymsaresafe #exerciseismedicine

For Your Team

It would be ideal for them to post their own message, rather than share something from the club or studio. Suggested copy for your team with the image, Exercise is important to everyones health. Come and visit me at a [insert gym/studio name]. #gymsaresafe #exerciseismedicineFor Your Members

It would be ideal for the members to post their own message, rather than share something from the club or studio. Suggested copy for your members:

This Is Not A Political Message

The success of this attack must be non-political. We need the #gymsaresafe #exerciseismedicine to organically grow!

You will have more people posting the message when you keep clear of politicising your message.

On June 2nd, you can collect all the data and then send that as a message to your local politicians. But in reality, any person in office will be watching trending topics and if we all deliver the consistent message #gymsaresafe #exerciseismedicine it will be trending.

Along with not being able to get a haircut or your nails done, being unable to walk through the doors of a gym has been one of the biggest changes during the pandemic and quarantine.

Sure you can work out at home, but there's something to be said about the importance of being around other people in fitness classes or just the weight room.

Many people are turning to fitness and workout apps for their smartphone but which one?

Fitness buffs are known to switch from workout app to workout app. Most fitness apps can get old after a few months regardless of the number of different workouts available.

The smartphone app Zova recently moved to the top of the charts in the app store for several reasons. Zova is very user friendly. It's easy to search for workouts or fitness plans. You can choose from upper body, lower body, core and flexibility plans.

Videos show an instructor giving an example of each exercise and guides you through the workouts which are usually less than 10 minutes long.

As most serious fitness enthusiasts know, it isn't just the workouts getting you in shape, it's a lifestyle, and Zova has courses on weight loss and nutrition with day-by-day instructions to get started from scratch.

A fitness instructor records and releases three new workouts each week.

What really sets it apart is the companion app for the Apple Watch. It tracks steps taken, calories burned and heart rate as the workout plays on the phone. It pulls all of that information into the iPhone's Health app.

As you work out, you can stream your music from Apple or Spotify and see how you're doing by glancing at your watch.

I did find the app seems to be geared more to women but men will find something for them too, especially if they're looking for cardio, core and stretching exercises.

Zova is $60 a year which is more than some fitness apps, but less than others. There is a 7-day free trial. It isn't available for Android devices.
