As 49 states and D.C. take the first steps in releasing their economies from coronavirus restrictions - with Connecticut set to follow suit on Wednesday - the fitness industry is adjusting to life post-lockdown.

Its certainly not business as usual in a world of social distancing and strict sanitation protocol. In some cases, its not even business at all: gyms are still closed across much of the U.S.

But as the economy slowly emerges after weeks of shutdown, there are serious challenges ahead for the fitness market, according to Beth McGroarty of The Global Wellness Institute.

Health clubs have been expanding into spaces once occupied by department and smaller stores at shopping centers and on city streets, explained McGroarty. The widespread lockdown in March, however, decimated the revenue of gym owners and left them struggling to pay rent on their large retail locations.

This financial frailty meant a number of fitness chains continued charging membership fees after shutting their facilities.

Not a great way to build future trust, said McGroarty, if you think you have a future.

Daniel Bolling works out at the Downtown Gym, Monday, May 18, 2020, in Orlando, Fla. Fitness centers were allowed to reopen in parts of Florida today and restaurants could open at 50 percent capacity.

But its not just consumers who have suffered a crisis of confidence in the industry. COVID-19 has exposed the fault lines in the relationships of multiple stakeholders from gym owners to their employees to the government.

On April 16, President Trump revealed that fitness centers would be included in the first stage of federal guidelines for lifting lockdown across America.

The move was supported by the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA), which calculates these centers had been hemorrhaging $700 million per week at the height of movement restrictions -- more than the rest of the global market combined.

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp authorized gyms to reopen eight days after the presidents announcement, by which time IHRSA believes the U.S. fitness industry had taken a hit of around $2.8 billion.

Utah, Wyoming, Oklahoma, North Dakota, and all but a handful of counties in Tennessee and Iowa, followed Georgia's lead on May 1. Currently, around 20 states have allowed gyms to reopen.

But despite sanctions at both the state and the federal level -- along with the prospect of easing their financial woes -- some fitness chains appear cautious. COVID-19 has hit the U.S. harder than any other country, infecting 1.4 million people (compared to 4.7 million globally) and killing around 89,564.

Adriana Laplanche disinfects her station during a weighlifting workout at the Palm Beach Gym in Boca Raton, Monday, May 18, 2020. Gyms in South Florida were allowed to reopen with precautions.

Planet Fitness is enacting a thoughtful and phased reopening approach, according to spokeswoman McCall Gosselin. The gym giants first quarter fiscal results show net income has plummeted by 67%.

Its reopening strategy began on May 1, when just three clubs across Georgia and Utah resumed operations.

By May 13 -- by which point Arkansas, Missouri, Alaska, Mississippi, Alabama, and Arizona had also relaxed gym restrictions -- only 50 Planet Fitness locations had opened their doors.

A very different story is playing out in Virginia, where health club owner Merrill C. Hall has accused Governor Ralph Northam of literally destroy[ing] my business by keeping lockdown measures in place.

Gyms have been closed since Northam issued Executive Order 53 on March 23, shutting all recreational and entertainment businesses in the state. It was meant to expire after a month which led to Hall launching a lawsuit to challenge the order after it was extended to May 8.

A police officer issues Atilis Gym co-owners Ian Smith, left, and Frank Trumbetti summons outside their gym in Bellmawr, N.J., Monday, May 18, 2020. The New Jersey gym reopened for business early Monday, defying a state order that shut down nonessential businesses to help stem the spread of the coronavirus.

Hall said time is of the essence, and calculates that the rent on his nine locations comes to around $750,000 per month.

His attorneys argue that Executive Order 53 is an overreach of Northams authority and trample[s] upon fundamental rights and laws of the Virginia Constitution. The case is being taken before the Virginia Supreme Court after a Circuit Court judge recently denied the challenge.

Governor Northam did not respond to requests for comment.

For now, gyms remain closed as Virginia moves towards the first phase of reopening its economy, though outdoor fitness classes will be permitted in certain areas of the state.

Elsewhere, fitness chains have found themselves firmly on the defensive against government pressure. When a number of centers shut their doors while continuing to charge membership fees, they opened the door to social media scorn and a political backlash.

One such organization was Town Sports International (TSI), which upheld membership charges after its facilities shut on March 16. CEO Patrick Walsh initially attempted to reassure customers that their concerns would be addressed once were up and functionally running.

A multi-state coalition was formed after a public outcry, made up of the Attorneys General of New York, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania. In an open letter to TSI , they threatened to take whatever steps are necessary to protect our citizens if multiple policy changes didnt take place.

The company agreed to honor cancellation fees submitted by the end of April, issue credits for membership charges, and resolve individual complaints filed with the Attorneys General.

The Town Sports Team had earlier announced that membership charges would be frozen at no cost to you across all states as of April 8.

But some customers arent satisfied with TSIs concessions. One member, Mary Namorato, is proceeding with a class action complaint that she filed against the gym giant in late March.

Her attorney, David Gottlieb of Wigdor LLP, downplayed TSIs membership freeze as a transparent attempt to try and appear like it is doing the right thing, when it is actually doing the opposite.

We believe hundreds of thousands of gym members are on a first of the month billing cycle, and by waiting until after [April 1] to make this change allowed them to collect tens of millions of dollars in additional membership fees, he explained to ABC News.

TSI was approached for comment but did not respond.

Membership charges have proven a particularly contentious, as well as litigious, issue across the U.S.

At least six major fitness chains are facing legal challenges from customers after allegedly charging fees during lockdown. The law firm Bursor & Fisher, P.A. is acting for plaintiffs against three of these companies: 24 Hour Fitness, Blink Fitness, and Fit Republic.

In one notable case, LA Fitness is being sued by a member who had belonged to the club for 14 years.

Coronavirus class actions, however, have not just been confined to America -- and they havent just been brought by disgruntled members.

During the lockdown period, most fitness chains have furloughed their employees, while retaining a skeleton staff to deal with customer service issues. But Steve Nash Fitness World (SNFW) -- which claims to be the largest fitness provider in British Columbia -- took more drastic steps after closing.

Preston Wakefield wipes down an exercise machine at the Downtown Gym, Monday, May 18, 2020, in Orlando, Fla. Fitness centers were allowed to reopen Monday in parts of Florida, and restaurants could open at 50 percent capacity.

It said in a statement that it decided to let go of our valued team members, on account of an organizational restructuring during these tough and unprecedented times.

The move prompted Brenie Matute -- an instructor at the gym since 2017 -- to bring a class action complaint against her former employers. She claims over 1,200 employees have been fired, and that SNFW provided no notice of termination.

According to a March 17 company statement, team members will be paid to lessen the financial burden over the first two weeks of this initial closure. Matutes lawyers argue former staff are entitled to individual compensation (2-8 weeks pay) and group compensation (16 weeks pay) in lieu of notice.

Ex-employees also claim that the mass terminations derailed an internal complaint of bullying and harassment at SNFW. Theyve started a petition, which has garnered over 2,000 signatures, calling for the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal to investigate the organization.

Together we can stand and make a change for ourselves and the future of the fitness industry, it concludes.

SNFW did not respond to requests for comment.

Despite the numerous fractured relationships in the fitness industry, Beth McGroarty remains optimistic about its future.

Digital fitness classes have proved incredibly popular in the era of self-isolation, and show the publics attachment to their local gym as a place of community.

McGroarty argues that the path forward for health clubs is a hybrid model balancing online classes with selective visits to the gym to provide this human connection in our age of loneliness and disconnection.

But now, she says, its up to businesses to get that model safe and right.

Fitness industry must fight to regain trust as gyms reopen - ABC News

Gyms and fitness centres in Kamloops and the Interior Health region have been given the green light to reopen, with pandemic-related protocols in place.

An order by Interior Healths chief medical health officer that closed all fitness centres, gyms, yoga studios and similar personal training facilities was lifted as of May 19. The order, issued April 2, was rescinded in accordance with phase 2 of B.C.s Restart Plan.

Gyms and other fitness centres will be able to re-open as long as they can meet requirements to protect staff and clients against the spread of COVID-19. Any facility wishing to resume operation must develop a plan based on measures laid out by the Provincial Health Office.

Guidelines call for at least one staff member being present when a facility is open, with 24-hour unrestricted access suspended. In addition, the number of patrons inside will be limited, with fitness centres urged to move to a booking system.

Patrons will be screened upon arrival and asked if they have COVID-19 symptoms, while space between cardio machines will be increased and/or every second machine will be not in use. Group classes will not be offered unless participants can remain six feet (two metres) from one another at all times. Basketball courts and similar group sports areas, saunas, hot tubs and steam rooms will remain closed.

Drinking fountains will be closed, although water bottle-filling stations will be permitted if appropriately sanitized. Food service will be prohibited.

No Limits Fitness, on Eighth Street in North Kamloops, plans to open its doors on May 25.

Co-owner Justin Grover said renovations undertaken during the COVID-19 shutdown will make it easier for clients to follow health protocols.

Grover said the gym bought 2,500 antibacterial cloths and 250 sanitizer spray bottles. Each client will receive a cloth and a bottle of disinfectant when they check in. Enhanced cleaning will take place each night, as well, he said.

Our renovations expanded our gym area by 40 per cent, so it will be easier to space out equipment, Grover said.

The ladies-only area and the kids zone have also been expanded, Grover said, and a separate entrance has been built for those areas and the yoga studio.

It came from storage rooms and board rooms and unnecessary space, he said. We had a storage room there since it was Malones [former business] collecting dust. We threw out old restaurant equipment from there.

Temporary rules in place to help limit the potential spread of COVID-19 at No Limits include measures barring out-of-town residents from working out, doing away with free trials and keeping the saunas and steam rooms closed until physical-distancing protocols are no longer in place.

Masks and gloves are not required for now, Grover said, but clients will be allowed to wear whatever protective equipment makes them feel comfortable.

We took this very, very seriously, Grover said. I want people to come and I want them to feel comfortable. So, if a mask is what they need to feel comfortable, of course they can wear a mask. If everyones doing their part, sanitizing before and after, and if everyones doing their part and staying home if theyre not feeling well, it should be safe.

Martina Schnelle, owner of Yoga Loft downtown at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue, said she was thrilled to hear news of fitness centres reopening.

She expects to open on June 1.

Most definitely, because this took quite a while to figure out, she said. We didnt know which category or phase we would be in.

Schnelle said she has clients anxious to get back into the studio, but there will be changes to limit any potential spread of the novel coronavirus.

Definitely smaller classes to have enough space in between people, she said. Usually its 30, so we will cut that in half.

Schnelle said she also expects to have floor markings and rules prohibiting things like mat-sharing. Surfaces will also be disinfected after each class. And just be careful to keep our distance, she said. I still believe thats the most important thing. I think thats the major thing.

Safety precautions are important, Schnelle said, but so to will be managing the anxiety of her clients.

You have to respect peoples fears, she said. Theres so much information out there. Everybody believes things a little bit differently.

Michael Jodoin, owner of the Kamloops Orange Theory studio in Columbia Place in Sahali, said his gym will not be open for another month at least.

Im excited were starting to move into the next phase of getting things open but, to be honest with you, Orange Theory will not be reopening on Tuesday, Jodoin told KTW. Our level of separation is not there yet.

Orange Theory is a group workout studio. Jodoin said the chains locations were not built with physical distancing in mind.

Were working with Orange Theory Canada on coming up with a structure that will work inside with the footprints we have, he said. Right now, with the design of the studio, its not designed to be a social-distancing studio.

Were looking at the possibility of mid-June, but that depends on other factors. A lot of that will have to do with whether gyms and restaurants that are reopening are able to stay open and not creating another spike.

As gyms across North America prepare to reopen, many trainers who have managed to gain a following online during quarantine aren't sure whether they'll go back.

Zumba instructor AssataMcKenzie, who was used to leading a packed room of dance devotees at various Toronto gyms pre-COVID, took thepopular Latin-inspired workoutclasses online when the pandemic began.

A following for her free "Zoom-ba" workouts streamed live via Zoomwith a laptop on her North Yorkbalcony grew quickly.McKenzie supplements her income with private online classes for small groups.

"I don't know for myself how comfortable I'll be going back to the gym, and I don't know how comfortable other people will be," said McKenzie. "I'll definitely keep the online classes going for a while."

It's a sentiment shared by other fitness experts as well, many of whom feared a major loss of business when stay-at-home orders first began. Private instructors and companies are now exploring paid online models to make more money and in some cases, they've been so successful that they plan to keep it up even as lockdown restrictions are lifted.

"I think it's been a surprise to people how much they've benefited from the at-home online workout," said Jennifer Nichols, whose Toronto ballet-based fitness studiowas forced to shut down last month.

Nichols wasn't sure her ballet boot camps would translate well to an online audience at first. But within weeks of offering free classes on Facebook and Instagram Live, her social media following doubled.

"I get photos sent to me with people working out withtheir jar of lentils or their peanut butter jar, their water bottle. With their babies strapped to their belly while they're doing barre classes," she said.

Since getting participants from New York to Denmark, she's now planning to keep half her business model virtual and developa paid subscription service for the home workouts as facilities begin to reopen.

"I really do think that there is a ceiling you reach in terms of in-person fitness classes," she said. "I definitely am enjoying this process of putting things online and findinginteresting, creative ways to present the method."

Dumbbells and resistance bands flew into online shopping carts soon after isolation began. Sales of treadmills and elliptical machines also surged.

The Pelotonbike, which allows spin class lovers to stream indoor cycling classes, currently has a minimum seven-week wait on orders"due to increased demand," its website says.

It'll be up to larger gyms, such as Goodlife and Gold's, toget creative if they want tolure customersand trainers back amid fears of contagion and contamination.

Jean-Michel Fournier, a Los Gatos, Calif.-based executive with Les Mills International Groupthe powerhouse companybehind well-known, worldwideclasses like BodyPump and BodyCombatsays big box gyms are facing a crossroads post-quarantine as more people have discovered options forexercising at home.

WATCH | Britain's "P.E. teacher" Joe Wicks tells CBC news about his thriving presenceonline since the pandemic

"People went very quickly into a frenzy of buying new equipment," Fourniersaid.

Not to mentionYouTubefitness personalities, like the Body Coach Joe Wicks, have gained massive followings in less than two months. Wicks, known as "Britain's P.E. teacher" since the pandemic began, has hit more than 55 million views for his child-friendly workouts streamed for free from his living room.

"I think a lot of people will start to shift with online products or streaming services where they can deliver great content to their clients on a global scale," Wicks said in aninterview from London. "Sothat if we ever have a lockdown again,you're protected. You've got an online business and maybe a physical offline business, and then you've got the best of both worlds."

Fournier saysgyms, especially those which foundsuccess around group fitness classes, will have to offer access to alternative technologies to stay competitive. That includes providing members with digitaltraining so they can get coaching and private lessons when it suits them.

"You're going to have this hybrid model between going to the club and exercising at home," said Fournier. "Andclubs need to embrace that."

Nichols already is.

While she says nothing compares to "that energy in the room" of a real-lifeclass, she's also ready to re-shape her online instruction.

"I'll bring in guest teachers and film in fun locations," she said. "It would be great to film a class from a beach or in the park or at the cottage and tailor the workout."

For McKenzie, the shift is more personal. Her sister recently tested positive for COVID-19 but has so far been asymptomatic.

"That was my wake-up call," she said.

She says when it comes to peopletrying to stay healthy butalso stay safe,they shouldn't have to choose.

If there is a struggle any new mother faces following a pregnancy is getting back into shape andMeeta Vengapallyknows this struggle all too well. As a new mother herself throughout her graduate school program, soon after, Meeta found herself with the challenging task of putting together a fitness plan that accommodates her needs.

Although, at first overwhelming, she discovered CrossFit and was able to exceed her fitness and nutritional goals. It was not easy; however, she was dedicated. Throughout her journey, she connected with athletes and trainers understanding the full process between what is made in the kitchen and what is made in the gym. She found one aspect particularly frustrating and downright annoying tracking her fitness progress manually and spending too much time deciding which nutritional plan would meet her overall goals.

Tracking everything from food intake to workout regimens manually on a pen and paper was just frustrating. There had to be a more efficient way, Meeta claimed. It is just not right.

Her own experience and frustration led to the idea and founding ofGarnysh, a technological platform that utilizes a machine-learning algorithm designed to analyze user input and their fitness goals, measuring their macros (i.e. protein, carbs, fats), and analyzing that data to create the proper nutritional plan to accommodate those goals.

Finding the right type of nutritional meal plan, as I had experienced, could be such an overwhelming process because of all the types diets out there, and this could easily cause many to give up even before they start, Meeta explained. I want to change that.

Her mission is to simplify the fitness and nutrition process so that it is convenient, accessible and empowering users in the process to improve overall well-being. What makesGarnyshso special is not only its comprehensive platform on the fitness front but its partnerships with local verified healthy eateries in creating customized nutritional plans to supplement each users respective fitness goals. The eateries are all vetted, verified and approved all onGarnyshs platform. Subscribers could make additional adjustments tailoring their suggested meal plans towards specialty diets such as vegan, vegetarian and paleo abiding by the macro restrictions.

Garnyshis quickly making strides having been founded less than a year ago and already cash-flow positive. When we take charge over our health, it is such an empowering feeling and we want to be the go-to, all-in-one platform that covers all bases, guiding each user through their fitness journey, Meeta stated. Building that community among fitness, training and food enthusiasts and developing that connection with users to improve overall well-being is the ultimate vision Meeta strives for and reinforces intoGarnyshevery single day.

With great reason too, having gained her graduate degree in Psychology with a special emphasis on mental health she understands that maintaining a healthier lifestyle improves overall well-being especially more so in developing a positive, healthier mental frame. She credits not only her firsthand experiences but her educational background in being able to directGarnyshto understand its end-user on an in-depth level propelling its growth.

Garnyshis currently based in the Silicon Valley area with less than 10 employees, and excitement about the company is rapidly spreading its database quickly growing. The platform is currently in beta testing mode within the Valley and a full release expected in the very near future. Meeta has been featured byForbes,Smart Hustleas well as an upcoming special feature onEntrepreneurMedia.

For Henry Richardson, the timing couldnt be better to reopen his Define Body & Mind headquarters.

Sure, its during a pandemic, but, Richardson, who has franchised out 16 Define locations, is celebrating not only the re-opening of his River Oaks studio in a new location, but also the debut of the fitness concept hes always wanted. It blends fitness with positive psychology and functional medicine.

Richardson has relocated his West Gray studio into a 7,800-square-foot, two-story space, at 2515 Morse, which opened Monday. It combines a smaller studio with a Life HTX event venue owned by Richardson and his partner Monsour Taghdisi. The space includes a 4,000-square-foot studio; a new Define Foods and Tea Bar, which offers smoothies, teas and prepared foods; an infrared sauna; personal training sessions with Dr. Tina Hills, a sports medicine physician; and Define Health, a functional medicine studio led by Dr. Nashat Latib, a board-certified emergency medicine physician.

Our goal has been centered on lifestyle total body, mind and well-being. I want this space to act as a community center to bring life to individuals, families, organizations and the greater Houston community, said Richardson, a champion diver who holds an MBA from Rice University and a masters degree in positive psychology from the University of Pennsylvania.

In 2019, Richardson hosted a TEDx talk how a spine injury ended his diving career, but led to him discover yoga and meditation, which ultimately healed his body. He said that mind-body-spirit connection can help businesses grow.

We spend more of our waking time at work than anywhere. The most important thing for all of us right now is bringing a positive-thinking model into the way we live in our daily lives. This will have a ripple effect for years to come, he said. After joining Define in 2018, Alicia Neeley dropped nearly 100 pounds from size 18 to a size 2 and stop taking numerous medications related to ulcers and a bladder condition.

I didnt know how to workout. I tried CrossFit, weights and a trainer, but never found anything that worked. I wanted a community with lots of workout options. Define became my fun thing today, four times a week, said the 28-year-old.

Neeley, who became a vegetarian, is now an avid rock climber and yoga enthusiast. She said feeling stronger physically and mentally gave her the courage to leave a career in teaching to pursue a graduate degree in counseling at University of Houston.

I wouldnt have even thought about grad school before this. Its feels powerful to have a strong body. You make better food choices and better choices about your life. Its about transforming your body and mind. Even just showing up is huge. I stopped focusing on the weight and made the decision to be kind to myself, Neeley said.

Since the coronavirus pandemic, Define has been offering 20-25 virtual classes a week with teachers from all of the Define studios. There are 16 Define locations, with two in Florida, one in Ohio and another in Dubai.

We have found out that we can do this online, Richardson said. It was a mindset shift. Weve learned we can connect and work together to share content. This also gives clients a chance to try instructors in other cities that they would never have the opportunity to try.

At the new River Oaks location, Richardson is only offering strength classes as the studio continues to practice social distancing due to the coronavirus. Each class will only have 20 people, positioned six feet apart in every direction. Define studios offer barre, cycle, yoga and body classes.

We are being very cautious. We want to take care of our clients, Richardson said.

The latest lifestyle, fashion and travel trends

Almost half of Brits (47 per cent) say they have put on weight since lockdown began in March, with more than 16 per cent gaining five pounds or more in the first six weeks.

Research, carried out by The 1:1 Diet by Cambridge Weight Plan and backed by the British Obesity Society of 2,000 UK adults, identified the top 10 reasons for weight gain during lockdown, which included less physical activity and more indulgent food choices.

If youre concerned about the impact weight gain is having on your health and wellbeing, nutritionist and weight loss expert Kim Pearson shares with us how to establish a healthy relationship with food as lockdown life continues.

Whether its a newly discovered love of baking, comfort eating or a reduction in exercise, many people are finding that lockdown is having an impact on their weight. So how can you ensure that the ongoing adjustments in lifestyle arent negatively impacting on your health? Here, Ive addressed the top reported causes of lockdown weight gain, with guidance on how to manage each.

Comfort eating

Given the stressful life situations many of us are facing right, now along with constant worrying news updates, it may come as no surprise that we are reaching for food to provide comfort. However, this comfort is usually fleeting and using food in this way isnt helpful in the long run. Rather than eating your feelings, seek comfort in healthier self-care practices, such as journaling, meditation, reading or whatever feels right for you. Every time you reach for a snack, ask yourself am I really hungry?. If the answer is no, work on identifying what it is you really need to fulfil your emotional needs.

Exercising less

For all the talk of Joe Wicks and the huge rise in online fitness options, the fact is, many of us are exercising less than before. Exercise is not only important for our physical health, it is important for our mental wellbeing too.

Remember, you dont have to force yourself to do burpees and push-ups if thats not your thing. Exercise can take many forms so find something you enjoy doing and youre more likely to stick to it long term. It could be a long walk, a morning yoga practice or dancing around the kitchen to your favourite dance tunes. Make a plan ahead of time for what youre going to do and schedule exercise in your diary as a non-negotiable. Often, exercising first thing in the morning means you get it done before your day starts and other commitments start to get in the way.

Eating foods you wouldnt normally consume

Many parallels have been drawn between this time and the period between Christmas and New Year, where you lose track of days of the week and rules are out the window. The best way to avoid eating foods you wouldnt normally eat is to not buy them in the first place! Make a shopping list and stick to it. It can be easy to graze your way through the day with easy access to the fridge, but aim to avoid mindless limbo snacking and unhealthy meal choices by planning your meals, and meal timings, in advance. Make sure you have everything you need for the week ahead, allowing for the occasional treat such as a Friday night takeaway or Sunday bake.

Being bored

Boredom is one of the most common triggers for non-hunger eating. If you are finding yourself wandering aimlessly toward the kitchen, engage your mind with an alternative such as an online course, a hobby or a good book. Again, ask yourself why am I feeling drawn to food? before you reach for it and if the answer is boredom, go for a walk or have a cup of tea as a break instead. And if you want to involve your love of food with breaking your boredom, why not take up healthy cooking? One thing I really encourage my clients to do is be creative and find some easy, healthy dishes that quickly become staple dishes to add to your repertoire. One of the keys to maintaining your ideal weight long-term is to find healthy meals you enjoy so that you dont feel like youre deprived or missing out.

Lack of routine

Many of us have had our lives turned upside down since lockdown. If your usual routine has gone out of the window, I'd strongly encourage you to create yourself a new one. What is your day going to look like now? What time will you get up? When can you make time for exercise? When will you eat meals? Write it down if it helps - the more detail the better. Routines helps us develop good habits that are in line with fulfilling our goals, while helping to ditch habits that do not serve us well.

Drinking more alcohol

We associate drinking with relaxing, given its sedative effects, so its no surprise alcohol is being consumed in larger quantities during this unsettling time. Office of National Statistics figures show a 31 per cent annual increase in alcohol sales in March. However, alcohol is also a depressant that can have an overall negative affect on our mood.

Excessive alcohol consumption can also promote weight gain, in more obvious ways such as the sugar content of some drinks, but there are also less obvious ways alcohol impacts our weight. Increased feelings of hunger, cravings for unhealthy foods and elevated levels of the stress hormone cortisol are just three examples. Keep a track of how much youre drinking in a week and make sure youre not regularly exceeding the government's recommended 14 units a week equivalent to seven standard glasses (175ml) of wine (roughly 12%) or seven pints of weak (3.6%) beer.

Feeling stressed or anxious

Stress is not only a common trigger for non-hunger eating, it can lead to elevated levels of cortisol which promote fat storage around the middle. If you are feeling stressed or anxious there are several techniques you can adopt that dont involve turning to food. Deep breathing switches your body to a parasympathetic state, so spend a couple of minutes taking deep breaths when you notice yourself feeling stressed.

Lockdown is making existing mental health issues worse

A daily meditation practice can also help you to feel more balanced and has been shown to reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Monitoring and limiting the amount of news and social media youre consuming may also help if youre feeling overwhelmed by the news right now.

Not being able to maintain a weight loss plan as easily

Its possible you might not have access to all the healthy foods you usually include in your diet due to the current restrictions on everyday life. Try signing up for a fruit and veg box or opt for frozen and tinned alternatives so that you have access to nutrient-dense ingredients for your meals. If you usually attend a weight loss group or trainer, seek an alternative online, whether its a buddy to keep you accountable or a nutritionist to help you with a personalised plan and support.

A lack of contact with others

While you may no longer need to worry about temptations on restaurant dessert menus, not having regular contact with friends and family can lead to loneliness which in turn can trigger comfort eating. How about bringing the social element back into your life by organising a Zoom brunch or Kahoot! quiz? Or work on upping your social interaction by making a point to call one friend each day, engaging with online support groups, or finding a local charity or volunteer group to help out.

We often turn to food for many reasons other than satisfying genuine hunger. Identifying these triggers and finding healthier ways to address them is one of the keys to successful and lasting weight loss.
