If you're into the gym in a big way, specifically bodybuilding, you may already be familiar with a new eating plan that's gaining traction, known as 'The Vertical Diet'. We asked registered nutritionist and dietician, Susie Bond, from Health First, to explain whether or not the diet is safe, who typically does it and what foods are included.

The Vertical Diet was designed as a muscle-building, performance-based diet for bodybuilders. However, it's recently been marketed as a weight-loss diet for casual gym-goers. "For background, the diet was developed by pro powerlifter/body builder Stan Efferding to help build muscle and fuel athletic performance," says Susie. "To do this, the diet consists of nutrient-dense foods that meet the body's need for vitamins and minerals and easily digested carbohydrates for energy."

The Vertical Diet is named as such because it's pictured graphically as an upside-down T. "Imagine that the base of the T is represented by foods rich in vitamins and minerals, and the vertical portion of the T is made up of red meat and white rice," notes Susie. Essentially, the basis of the diet is that it allows people to consume larger amounts of food without getting full, resulting in higher calorie consumption and more energy. It's also very heavily focussed on meat, so isn't suitable for vegetarians or vegans.

"To follow the diet as written, a person would consume small amounts of a limited selection of foods daily, with the primary source of calories coming from red meat and white rice," explains Susie.

Foods you can eat on the Vertical Diet:

Foods to avoid on the Vertical Diet:

Fans of the eating plan say one major benefit is that it allows athletes to consume high amounts of calories and nutrients to increase energy, muscle growth and strength, without causing digestion issues. "However, the diet is extremely restrictive and doesn't allow room for all the necessary nutrients your body needs," adds Susie. "Many of which are essential for digestive health."

The cons include:

"The Vertical Diet is more of a short-term, performance-focused diet, not necessarily a lifestyle change," says Susie. "It's important to note that the main reason people follow it is to support muscle growth and digestion in bodybuilders." Bodybuilders, weightlifters, and athletes see the diet as a way to increase calorie consumption, but maintain gut health, on a temporary basis.

"Generally speaking, the Vertical Diet is highly restrictive and doesn't allow for enough of the nutrients your body needs to stay healthy," says Susie. "The diet places a focus on red meat as the primary source of your protein, but high red meat consumption is linked to heart disease, some cancers, kidney problems and digestive issues." Overall, a more balanced and nutrient-rich diet is a healthier option for the average gym-goer.

"Depending on the individual's nutritional needs, the Vertical Diet can be helpful for bodybuilders, competitive weightlifters and athletes that need to support muscle growth," notes Susie. "It could be useful to people looking to lose weight but there are healthier diets that can help someone lose weight that don't cut out so many beneficial nutrients."

As the name implies, the carnivore diet consists of meat and animal products, and Syatt ate plenty of fish, beef, and eggs. He weighed in at 154.8 pounds on the first day. After five days the scale dropped to 151 pounds.

Within 24 hours, he was struck with diarrhea, Syatt tells Men's Health. "It burned. It was awful," he says. "You try to hold it and don't want to go through the painful process of cleanup."

The severity of his diarrhea became better after 10 days, he says.

When it came working out, Syatt says he had little motivation to hit the gym.

"My workouts were awful. I didn't have much energy at all," he says.

Additionally, Syatt's blood pressure increased within a few days of starting the diet. However, it returned to normal after about a week.

Admittedly, Syatt isn't a fan of the all-meat planor any other restrictive diet. But he does say that eating meat stopped him from mindless snacking.

"I did not go to the fridge and open it up and say, 'What can I have?,'" Syatt says. "If I'm not hungry enough to eat meat, then I'm just not hungry."

After 14 days, Syatt broke his diet with watermelon.

"Damn, carbs are life," he says

My weight gradually dropped from 75 kg to 60 kg. But thats not it. My energy levels were high and I became more active. #OnlineWorkshop #FoodSecrets

Even though it had been two years since shed given birth to a healthy baby girl, Kirti Yadavs postnatal health issuesnausea, constipation, low energy levels and insomniacontinued.

While these health issues were not unusual, the Bengaluru resident did some research and realised that her diet was aggravating them and wondered if a change in her eating habits could provide much-needed relief.

So, in 2017, Kirti, a vegetarian, became a vegan. While her health improved by leaps and bounds, an unforeseen but welcome result of this dietary change was weight loss. Today, she conducts workshops to teach vegan recipes of everyday and gourmet dishes. Join her in her online workshops and give a dairy-free spin to your diet!

Speaking to The Better India (TBI), Kirti says, Before switching my diet, I got a blood check-up done and was shocked to see that my cholesterol levels were very high even though I was eating healthy. I considered the headaches, constipation and such health issues normal because they had always been a part of my life. But they were no doubt, a reason for my struggle. After the blood tests, I started researching diet forms, and I came across many people who had turned vegan and had positive things to say about that lifestyle.

Butter, ghee, cheese, milk and other dairy products are an intrinsic part of the Indian cuisine, and it seems almost impossible to imagine food without them.

But Kirti had her health issues to overcome, and as an experiment, she decided to make the switch, and it took only a few months for her to see the results. Her cholesterol levels were down, there was no constipation or nausea, and happily enough, she was steadily losing the weight that she had gained during pregnancy.

I would average around 75 kg before my pregnancy. When I gave up dairy, my weight gradually dropped to 60 kg, and that is my normal now. But thats not it. My energy levels were high, and I became more active. It became evident to me that this diet was doing more for my body than the previous one, she tells TBI.

To help others like her, who want to switch to a vegan diet, but it impossible to give up dairy, Kirti conducts recipe workshops. Select from them below.

This would be a better time to plan out future trips into the Adirondacks. File photo: Brian Mann

Apr 03, 2020 The best advice is to stay home. Recreate locally. Traveling into the backcountry at this time puts others at risk. Accidents can happen, and they happen regularly even among the most experienced people.

There remains deep soft snow at higher elevations, most waters are still covered in unsafe ice, boat launches are not yet in, and its mud season, that time of year when we give trails a break, as they dry and harden.

DEC and State Parks are suggesting sticking to your back yard if you have one, or at least recreate as locally as possible. This is a better time to plan for your next outing, one of the important but often overlooked of the Leave No Trace Principles - know before you go.

Take this time to locate those less visited out of the way places for a future trip. The waters, forests, and mountains of the Adirondacks will be waiting.

John Warren from theAdirondack Almanacklooks at outdoor recreation conditions around the Adirondacks each weekend for NCPR.

Ariel Winter opened up about the constant body-shaming she endured in a new interview with Teen Vogue.

The 22-year-old actress said that after she switched psychiatric medications and subsequently lost weight, people both criticised and congratulated her on the change something she says is besides the point.

A lot of people commented on my post like, No, she changed her antidepressant because she wanted to lose weight,' Winter told the magazine, adding, No! I thought every medication I was on, I was going to stay at that weight, and that was fine. It had nothing to do with that.

Winter said that after she revealed her weight loss, people started messaging her on social media asking what medication she was on.

I get so many DMs [asking] What medication are you on? I want to lose weight; I want that medication,' Winter revealed. What I would really like for people to understand is, every medication affects everyone differently. Were all made differently. Everything is different.

Even though the actress has been able to rise above the body-shaming and constant scrutiny she faces, she told Teen Vogue that the hateful comments still have an effect her.

People on the internet really suck. It bothered me for so many years I mean, it still does. It never goes away, Winter said. When someone calls you a fat slut, youre not feeling happy about it. It doesnt matter what you look like now, it doesnt matter what you looked like then. Youre still going to read that and be like, Oh, that sucks.'

This isnt the first time Winter has spoken up about body-shaming.

Last year, she expertly shut down a commenter on one of her Instagram posts who accused her of having plastic surgery and chopping up her body, telling him that she didnt get plastic surgery and that he was not being supportive of women.

Winters Modern Family costar Sarah Hyland has also come to Winters defence in the past, shutting down commenters who criticised her sheer dress in February, and even slammed pervs and creeps who fixated on a braless photo of Winter in 2018.

Expert gardener Melinda Myers encourages people to break out their tools and garden their way to a healthier mind, body and spirit.

Gardeners know and research proves that getting outdoors, digging in the soil and gardening help strengthen muscles, increase flexibility, reduce stress and elevate our mood.

Include gardening as a major component of your workout schedule. Youll stretch and strengthen muscles while promoting cardiovascular health and maintaining bone mass. A University of Arkansas study found that yard work, as well as weight training, significantly maintained bone density in women older than 50.

And for those trying to lose weight, add 30 minutes of gardening to your daily or weekly routine to help shed some extra pounds. A half hour of raking burns 162 calories, weeding 182, and turning the compost pile a whopping 250. Gardening several times per week will help keep you and your landscape looking top notch.

Dont let a lack of time, space or painful joints stop you from growing nutritious vegetables, beautiful flowers or an attractive landscape. Staying active through gardening not only increases flexibility and strengthens muscles, it helps fight anxiety and depression that arthritis sufferers and others often experience.

Those struggling with limited time, space or mobility may want to try container and elevated gardening. Both can be placed on patios, decks or balconies. Select a size and style you can easily reach and one that matches your garden design. Those on a tight budget can add drainage holes and paint 5-gallon food grade containers or nursery pots to create attractive planters.

Gloves with padding and reinforced fingertips will protect your hands and knuckles from scrapes and bruises. Gloves with long cuffs or those that extend to the elbow provide added protection when working in the garden. People should select gloves that are machine washable, so you always have a clean pair ready when you venture out to the garden. Keep a pair of gloves, pruner and your favorite weeding tool in a bucket near the front or back door. You wont waste time looking for your favorite tools, plus you can take advantage of those small blocks of time to weed, deadhead or pick a bouquet of flowers to enjoy.

Enlist the help of ergonomic tools that allow you to garden longer with less pain and fatigue. Look for designs that keep your back and wrist straight when digging, pruning and raking. Select tools with soft wide grips to further reduce hand fatigue. Wrap the handles of existing tools with foam pipe insulation for added padding.

Protect your joints and muscles while gardening. Warm up, just as you would for any workout, with a few simple stretches. Protect your knees by using a stool, kneeling pad or one-legged kneel instead of squatting.

Take regular breaks. Gardening in 20-minute intervals and resting in between to enjoy your handiwork and hydrate will pay off with less muscle strain and fatigue. Youll then be ready for your next workout session in the garden that will invigorate your mind, body and spirit.

Melinda Myers has written numerous books, including Small Space Gardening. She hosts The Great Courses How to Grow Anything DVD series and the nationally-syndicated Melindas Garden Moment TV and radio program. Myers is a columnist and contributing editor for Birds & Blooms magazine. Her website is http://www.MelindaMyers.com.

On the road to recovery, he dedicated himself to helping others avoid a disease that "knocked the hell" out of him.

BERGEN COUNTY, N.J. The first sign thatGreg Foudy had been infected with coronaviruscame in an unrelenting wave of chills that made him blast the heat in his Cresskill home until "it felt like an oven."

It was late on March 10and Foudy's temperature had already risen above 102.

Over the next two weeks, the 65-year-old retiree would become as sick as he's ever been. With growing frustration, he and his wife navigated a complicated and fractured health system seeking help. And finally, on the road to recovery, he dedicated himself to helping others avoid a disease that "knocked the hell" out of him.

Coronavirus hits older people especially hard.Eight out of 10 deaths reported in the U.S. have been among adults 65 and older,according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.And while Foudy is at the youngest end of that demographic, he still counts himself lucky.

Im not dead, and each day is slightly better, so I cant feel too bad for myself, Foudy said with a chuckle.

The owner of a commercial refrigeration repair company, Foudy shut down his business in January after decades of servicing restaurants, bakeriesand stores throughout New York.

He was just sinking into retired life when he became sick.

The fever that began on March 10 was not going away. Electric blankets, a raging radiator and copious amounts of Tylenol did only so much to manage his chills.

I knew something was serious, he said.

He suspected it was coronavirus, and he mentioned it when he spoke to his family doctor of 30 years by phone. The doctor told Foudy he might have the flu, but cautioned him from coming into the medical office or going to the hospital just yet.

Foudy considered himself in pretty good healthbut like many men his age took daily medications for blood pressure and cholesterol.

The aches and pains came next, followed by near-crippling fatigue. Taking a short walk to the hallway bathroom wiped him out.

All the little things you do that you take for granted were lost, he said. Walking up and down the hallway felt like I was running a marathon.

Foudy soon isolated himself from his wife, Dale Kopel, and their two grown children, by staying in a guest bedroom.

He often sleptfor more than 20 hours a day a welcomerespite from the aches, chills and uncontrollable cough that had developed.

I felt like Id rather be asleep than being awake and feeling that way, he said. "Your brain kind of shuts down. I might notbe the sharpest knife in the drawer, but it felt like my brain turned to mush. It was hard to concentrate on anything."

Foudy ate nothing for days. He only drank water. He ended up losing 23 pounds.

"This is not how you want to lose weight," he said."Going from 165 to 142 pounds at my age is not what I wanted to do."

Foudy pressed his doctor to give him a prescription so he could get a coronavirus test. On March 18, he had his nose swabbedat a drive-up site in Englewood Health hospital'sparking lot.

Foudy said he was told he would get the results in 24 hours.

It took 12 days and came backpositive.

"Of course it was," he said. "I thought it was obvious. It ran the classic course of COVID-19.

By then Foudy had been feeling a lot better, even though he had a bout with bacterial pneumonia that antibiotics quickly cleared up.

"I was angry that it took so long to get tested and then get the results, but then I did a mental reboot and realizedtheyre trying to put out a fire with a Dixie cup, Foudy said.

His wife was also frustrated that it took so long and questioned whether the lag time was giving the public an inaccurate account of how far infections had spread.

The overall numbers are so off because people arent allowed to be tested, and theres a huge lag in getting the results, said Kopel.

Kopelsaid she felt mild flu-like symptoms for about two days. I suspect I might have it, but I dont know, she said.

Foudy isnt sure when he was infected, but he suspects it was at a dinner party about a week before his symptoms started. At least one other person at the dinner, attended by about 50, came down with symptoms.

Mount SinaiHealth Systemin New York is appealing to those who have fully recovered from COVID-19 to donate blood plasma to help those with severe cases.

Plasma from recovered patients is rich with antibodies that fight against the virus. The antibodies will be transfused into critically ill patients with the hope that they can neutralize the virus.

The procedure was used successfully in China, which reported that some patients improved within 24 hours, with reduced inflammation and viral loads, and better oxygen levels in the blood, a report by Mount Sinai researchers said.

Foudy says he wants to make a donation as soon as he can.

I feel fortunate that I didnt die or infect anyone else, he said.

I also was lucky," he said. "I had all my ducks lined up in a row when it came to closing my business and retiring. I didnt have to worry about not having an income because I would have had to shut the business down. So I want to do everything I can to help those who may not be as fortunate."

Any recovered patient wishing to join the Mount Sinai effort can sign uphere.
