WHILE 2019 was the year of keto and going vegan, it seems as though 2020 is shaping up to be the year of the Noom diet.

On New Year's Day alone, 55,000 people signed up to the weight loss plan - which claims to help you shed pounds easily and keep it off.

3

It's an app and personalised meal-planning service that already has more than 45 million users.

And studies have even shown that people who use Noom lose an average of 18 pounds or just over one stone in just 16 weeks.

But is it really worth downloading? Here's what you should know before you sign up to the app...

Noom is a health app designed by behavioural psychologists which claims to help users lose weight and keep it off.

It's targeted at millennials and says it has already helped 32,905 women in their twenties successfully reach their target weight.

It focuses on making easy, sustainable lifestyle changes rather than making dramatic and "restrictive" changes to your diet such as cutting out specific food groups or nutrients.

The app, which is like having a trainer, nutritionist and health coach all in one place, allows you to:

Noom states that the ideology behind the coaching and content is designed to "'trick' your body into building healthy habits, faster."

The website says it aims to help people "create healthier habits, reduce the risk of chronic health problems, reverse disease and foster healthier relationships with themselves".

Unlike many diets that can be restrictive, Noom actually encourages eating real, whole foods as well as snacks as often as possible.

And this can make weight loss more sustainable as it means users don't feel like they're ever really missing out.

Medical experts and studies have also backed Noom, with the British Medical Journal finding 64 per cent of Noom users have lost more than 5 per cent of their weight.

And Scientific Reports found that 78 per cent of Noom users sustained weight loss over nine months.

On top of this, Noom's own social media accounts show some pretty impressive transformations from users who have shed a significant amount of body weight.

For example, one couple Steve and Anne (pictured above) credited the app for helping them to blitz excess body fat and find their "healthy balance".

Users have also raved about the individualised coaching - since it provides a cheerleading team through your phone who can help you stay motivated with your weight loss journey.

The Noom app is not cheap and costs around 48 a month when you download it from theGoogle PlayoriOS app store.

Otherhealth and fitness apps apps - like MyFitnessPal - provide similar food tracking capabilities designed for weight loss free of charge.

It therefore might be worth doing the 14-day trial period and cancelling at any time during those two weeks.

On top of this, some people have found the one-to-one coaching "impersonal" and as if the coaches are "bots".

The coaches are also not available outside business hours which can make things tricky if you work long hours or want support outside the work day.

SUMMARY

For purposes of this discussion, a calorie can simply be defined as a unit of energy that is obtained from food.

If you eat food with more calories than your body needs for daily functions, the extra calories get stored as fat mostly, and you gain weight.

It is January, and many people make resolutions or set goals about what they want to achieve in the new year. Many people include a goal to lose weight, and when people think of losing weight, many of them think of jogging or 'hitting the gym.' Let us examine if this is really a good strategy for achieving weight loss.

Before we go on, I would like to say that exercise is indeed a good thing. Exercise helps your heart and lungs be healthy. The correct type of exercise strengthens your muscles and helps bone density. Exercise helps manage blood pressure. Exercise helps relieve stress and supports mental health, among other benefits.

Therefore, exercise is good and should be pursued regularly by everyone. However, in this article, we will examine using exercise specifically as one's main weight loss strategy. We will talk about calories.

For purposes of this discussion, a calorie can simply be defined as a unit of energy that is obtained from food. If you eat food with more calories than your body needs for daily functions, the extra calories get stored as fat mostly, and you gain weight. If you eat fewer calories than you need, your body uses previously-stored calories for energy, and you lose weight.

This is a simplified explanation, but it will do for our purposes. Now, let us do some calculations. Let us assume that you weigh 80 kg, and you want to lose 10 kg. It is said that a pound of fat is about 3,500 calories. A kilogram is, therefore, 3,500 x 2.2, which is 7,700 calories. Therefore, to lose 10 kg, the calories to be used up (or 'burned') through exercise is 7,700 x 10, which is 77,000 calories.

If you decide to start jogging to lose this weight, how many calories would you burn through jogging daily? I used an online calorie calculator to find out. If you jog for an hour and cover 8 km, you will burn about 697 calories in that hour. To burn a total of 77,000 calories, you will need to jog an hour each day for (77,000 / 697 =) about 110 days, while still controlling your eating to ensure that you do not consume extra calories, because then you would regain some of what you have jogged off.

If you jog this way three times a week, it will take you about nine months to lose 10 kg. In all this, we have not accounted for the time it will take for you to be able to build endurance to allow you to jog for 8 km in an hour, nor have we accounted for your body adapting to the jogging and therefore using fewer calories for each run. This is, therefore, an optimistic calculation.

So we can see three things from the above: First, by one losing 10 kg in 9 months, we see that exercise is a rather slow way to attempt to lose weight. Second, even while exercising, you still need to control your food intake, or you will lose weight at a slower rate, or even gain weight.

Third, to lose 10 kg in 9 months through exercise, you will need a rather high level of discipline, to both consistently maintain the exercise habit - three times a week for an hour each time - for nine months, while still controlling your eating for the entire period.

However, do not despair; if you want to lose weight, proper eating habits can yield satisfactory results faster and in a realistic manner. People lose even one kilo (or more) per week through controlling the calories they take in, rather than consuming them, then trying to burn them off.

Renaissance Periodization - while it may sound like you're taking an art history class, it's actually not. The diet and training program is one that puts an emphasis on maintaining muscle while decreasing fat or building muscle if you're too thin. However, the program brings in scientific methods to its diet, and training components ensure the best results. So, what exactly is it and how does it work? Find out.

According to the website, Renaissance Periodization is a diet program that is designed to either help you build muscle or to help you shed fat while maintaining your current muscle. The programs are designed with science in mind and combine the scientific principles with nutrition and training. Targeting your efforts for specific results is also a big part of the program, which places focus on what works and what doesn't.

Renaissance Periodization is broken down into two distinct programs. For men with 15 percent body fat or more and women with 20 percent body fat or more, the fat-burning program is recommended. For those under that percentage, the muscle-building program is recommended. For whichever program one is on, the diet lays out all of the meals for a particular day as well as the macronutrient amount for each meal and the timing of every single meal. While the diet can be strict - especially if you're looking for maximum results in a short amount of time - it can also be a bit more forgiving if you're not on a time crunch. However, adhering to the diet 100 percent will give you the best results you can have.

According to the founder, clients are to eat a variety of foods both for health purposes and to prevent the diet from becoming stale. The diet lays out a number of acceptable foods for each macronutrient (protein, carbs, and fats) and a list of low-carb veggie options as well. The program also lays out a number of macros per meal depending upon your schedule and when you train. In addition, it also lays out your diet around one training session per day, unless you choose otherwise. There is also an approved foods list for each category (lean proteins, vegetables, healthy fats, and healthy carbs), as well as a meal plan for vegans, so whatever your lifestyle, there are options developed for you.

Cheat meals, while uncommon, can be built into the program depending on the client and on the goals. Cheat meals may increase cravings, however, so the founders do not recommend it.

Nick Shaw, founder of the diet, says those who partake should be able to participate in at least one training session per day. However, clients that are newer to weight training will lift weights two to four times per week and more advanced clients are training as much as five to six times per week. The circuits are based around basic exercises, including squats, deadlifts, pressing movements, and pulling movements.

Renaissance Periodization is worth giving a shot, especially if you're not on a consistent schedule or work off hours. The routine not only enables people to be able to decide when they work out, which affects when and what they eat, but also helps even the most off-hours person slide into a healthy weight-loss routine. If you stick to it, the founders promise optimal results. However, unlike other diets (take the Whole30 for example), there are ways to build in cheat days for special occasions or days you really just need Taco Bell.

A weight loss surgeon has claimed that the reason diets often dont work is because we dont consider our bodys individual weight anchor, which is different for each person and is the weight our body naturally reverts to.

Appearing on This Morning, Dr Andrew Jenkinson, a bariatric surgeon at University College London, revealed how people can lose weight and keep it off by being aware of their bodys ideal weight.

He also stated that if people want to lose weight, they dont need to count the calories.

According to his theory, to lose weight you should decrease your insulin levels by decreasing sugar and refined carbohydrates, and eating healthy meals two or three times a day without snacking or dieting.

Dr Andrew revealed how he made the discovery after talking to patients who had put weight back on despite going on a diet.

He told Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes: There is emerging evidence that everyone has their own individual weight setting, so this is your own natural weight and it acts like a weight anchor so you can drift up and down a little bit.

You tend to be anchored to that weight, which is okay if its in the normal weight range, but if youre in the overweight range, it can be a problem. The further you try to diet yourself away from that weight anchor, the more difficult it gets.

He continued: Its a little bit like if you could imagine being tied by an elasticated rope to a weight anchor the further you get away, the stronger the pull back and our metabolism and the way our body works pulls us back to this particular weight.

The surgeon went on to explain how his findings are more of a lifestyle change over another diet.

Insisting that its not another quick fix to drop the pounds, Dr Andrew commented: So your weight setting is determined by your genetics which you cant change but its also determined by your internal hormones insulin and cortisol and various other things.

These are triggered by the sort of foods we eat. It has the same effect as a drug so if I treated you both with insulin or steroids, your weight setting would go even higher, he told Ruth and Eamonn.

If I took those steroids away, the weight setting would go down. The environment has the same effect. It almost acts like a proxy drug causing increase in insulin.

Responding to Ruths question about whether people should just stop dieting altogether, Dr Andrew replied: Some of those diets might work slightly if theyre long term lifestyle changes but if theyrw short calorie counting mechanisms to try and lose weight then youre going to rebound back up.

Recurrent low calorie counting is counterproductive.

Its like youre giving a programme to your brain that theres a famine so when your weight comes back to normal, it wants a little bit of extra energy and extra insurance to stop you losing weight during the next famine.

Instead, Dr Andrew suggested eating a mix of healthy foods and cutting out foods that are infused with artificial vegetable oils.

Its not about calories. its about the type of food and the stress environment.

In the long term, your body is in control. Your bodys metabolism the energy it burns it preserves a lot of energy to get you back up to your weight setting and that weight anchor.

So in order to change your weight anchor, as far as the food you eat, decrease your insulin level by decreasing sugar and refined carbohydrates, eating really good food, two or three meals a day and not snacking.

Theres no evidence that fat makes you fat. Vegetable oils tend to have a bad metabolic effect on you.

Fast food, processed food is infused with this artificial vegetable oils which increases your weight anchor.

Throw away the vegetable oil and cook with butter or olive oil.

For many of us, January is all about giving things up: Maybe we're going to stop eating meat and embrace a plant-based diet. Or we're ready to kick excess sugar to the curb after a holiday season awash in sweets. Or we're committed to avoiding fast food.

Starting the year with noble goals for eating well is a modern rite of passage. But it's just as common to ditch those grand plans within a few weeks.

This year, how can we do it right? If we're pledging to make better food choices, which strategies can help us stick with them?

START SMALL

The consensus among experts is clear: It's tempting to begin with dramatic gestures, but the key to lasting change is setting goals that are small enough we won't scrap them by Valentine's Day.

Manageable, measurable goals can create long-term change, says Leila Azarbad, associate professor of psychology at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois. When people set lofty goals, they can get discouraged after a couple weeks.

"Our self-efficacy, that belief in our own ability, tanks," she says. "And that's a huge predictor: If you don't feel confident in your ability to make the change, you're going to discontinue trying."

Picture this, says Dana White, a sports dietitian and clinical associate professor at Quinnipiac University: You want to lose 20 pounds and you know that every afternoon you visit the office vending machine for a snack to boost your energy. So, begin packing a healthy afternoon snack -- not something punitive, but something healthier that you'll enjoy -- and have that instead of a vending machine candy bar.

It's a measurable, specific change that won't be unpleasant. And if it eliminates 200 calories, that shift will make a difference over the coming weeks and months. Once that new behaviour is in place, you can add another small but meaningful change.

The same thinking works if you're eliminating animal products: Rather than going cold turkey (cold tofu?), begin by replacing one dinner per week with a vegetarian meal. Plan it for a night when you won't be rushed and can make an appealing recipe, or budget for going out once a week to a vegetarian restaurant.

Then track that change for three weeks, says Anna Baker, assistant professor of psychology at Bucknell University, who researches the connection between behavioural factors such as self-management and health outcomes.

"You hear that it takes 21 days to create habit. There's debate about whether it's 21 exactly, but you need a certain amount of time of continuing to do something before it becomes a habit," Baker says. "Once you do kind of get used to that change and you're doing it regularly, then you can add in another thing."

If you make that one good shift for three weeks, congratulate yourself. Then maintain that behaviour and add another small change, like drinking more water.

It's tempting to try making a half-dozen changes all at once, White says. But by focusing on individual, small, unhealthy behaviours and "really identifying what the triggers are that lead to those behaviours," she says, people "can have a tremendous amount of success without torturing themselves."

BE PATIENT

If your goal is to lose 20 pounds, for example, it really will take four or five months -- and it should, says Alex Montoye, assistant professor of clinical exercise physiology at Alma College in Alma, Michigan.

Losing a pound a week is "really the maximum sustainable weight loss," Montoye says. Much as it surprises people, "2 pounds a week is pretty extreme."

So aim to lose 5 pounds over the next six weeks through small behavioural shifts, and measure your behaviour along the way. Apps and fitness trackers can help, as can a notebook where you list what you've eaten.

Researchers have found "that we are notoriously bad at estimating how many calories we're taking in," Azarbad says. "We tend to underestimate what we're eating, because we forget. When we're cooking, we taste the pasta sauce a few times and those are calories. Or we walk past our colleague's desk and they had a jar of M&M's and we took a few, but those add up. That can be the difference between you losing a pound a week and you not."

DON'T BE TOO HARD ON YOURSELF

Accept that mistakes are a normal part of building a new habit. If you know an event is coming up where you'll want to divert from your eating goals, accept that you may slip a bit then.

Aim for "consistency, not perfection," says Baker. "You have to plan in advance that you're going to screw up. We're not perfect."

ENLIST FRIENDS

Lastly, "tell everybody you know that you're doing this because social support is huge," Azarbad says.

"If you're going out to eat and they know you're trying to change your diet, they can help choose a restaurant that will accommodate you," she says.

And the need to save face may keep you on track.

"Once you put it out there on social media and you tell everybody that 'I'm going to do this. I'm going to lose 10 pounds by spring break,"' you feel that people are watching, Azarbad says. "We don't want other people to see us fail."

Shahid Akhter, editor, ETHealthworld spoke to Dr (Prof) U S Vishal Rao, HCG, Bengaluru to know more about the cancer research in India and the steps being taken by HCG in cancer prevention and rehabilitation

What is India doing to create cancer care moonshot?India sees around more than 10 lakh new cases of cancer each year. We are actually churning out more cancer patients. As per the WHO's extrapolated figures for the next decade, we will have one in three cancer for the next coming years. This is very alarming for us to watch and see around us because the contributing factors to this are related to diet and nutrition, air pollution and the use of tobacco and alcohol.

This industry cannot survive without nicotine and it is the most potent addictive substance, it is a thousand times more potent than heroin. With the e-cigarettes, a formula was developed to increase the number of dosage of nicotine given at a much higher delivery form than what cigarettes were driving addiction for. This was a game changer product for the industry than waiting for slow products such as cigarettes.

As per the Lancet and others, nicotine does not help in quitting, it helps in reduction but not in quitting and on the other side, it helps to start. Now, the question was that it's not a harm reduction device, it's a powerful addiction substance, so do we need another addiction when we are currently grappling in this country with several such addictions due to which the health expenditure is being crushed on us. From the legal point of view, it has neither being a drug nor is registered as a drug if its a harm reduction device and it has also not gone in tobacco under the regulation. It was banned because of the potential harm it has.

Cancer Care Research and Innovation at HCGAs far as cancer research is concerned, India is way behind, compared to the rest of the world. This is because somewhere in Indian Philosophy we have not given enough thrust and funding for cancer research. HCG has been at the forefront of cutting edge cancer research through its own division for Research and Academics and through the support from government and non-government agencies. At HCG, we have made our own cancer moon shot on which we are working on.

This focuses on immunology, advanced radiotherapy, robotic surgeries, genetics immunology, and microbiomes. All of this is going to define the future of cancer, whether it is related to enabling technology, big data, precision or personalised medicine. We have recently introduced a journal of Precision Oncology which focuses on bringing in to highlight India's effort in the area of Precision Oncology as a game changer.

Onco Rehab at HCGAt HCG, we identified that oncology care was just not about treatment. We often misinterpreted as we believe that surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy are the three important triads for successful cancer therapy. Now, the fourth dimension of this is the cancer rehabilitation that lies at the center of this triad. This particular aspect comprises a comprehensive thing that HCG took a lead on.

Through the HCG life programme we initiated a very comprehensive cancer rehab programme which encompasses about eight departments. This includes speech and swallow therapy, dietary nutrition, integrated oncology and pain management, Ayurveda, yoga and other alternative medicines, psycho-oncology, physiotherapy, and dental departments. At HCG we have also integrated a very common platform of both online and offline, where doctors sit together in the Cancer Rehab Programme at HCG life. They take a deep dive into each patient's rehabilitation plan and a small chart is drawn out which includes the demands and expectations of each patient and then we look at how we deliver that in a personalised and comprehensive manner.

Cancer care: Prevention vs rehabHCG has always believed in cancer prevention and rehabilitation. We are at the front end of cancer prevention. Our campaigns have focussed on the use of tobacco and alcohol, air pollution, garbage etc. We have been addressing the key social determinants of cancer. We have also been part of the Karnataka Government's cancer control committee.

And although you can find research that speaksnegatively about marijuana effect on male reproductive health, nostudy mentions that about CBD in particular.

However,exciting research was published in the Human Reproduction Journal. Scientists focusedon men who visited the Massachusetts General Hospital Centre forfertility treatment. A total of 662 men participated in the study,and they agreed that the researchers can use semen and blood samples,and answer a questionnaire related to using cannabis and otherlifestyle habits.

The first interesting discovery is that more than half of the users who participated admitted to using marijuana at some point. According to the questionnaire, 11% were using cannabis-based and searching for weed online products at that moment.

Althoughthey didnt specify which products, the results still showed thatthey had 62.7 million sperm count per millimeter, if you compare thatto those who have never tried cannabis and had a 45.7 million count,you will find that the number is significantly higher in cannabisusers.

Asfor the low sperm count, the World Health Organization explains thatit is below 15 million per millimeter. The study revealed that only5% of the users who tried cannabis were under this limit, and 12% ofnon-users were in the same group.

Campus recreation facilities have added three new fitness classes. Credit: Maria Fernandez | Former Lantern reporter

Students can lift, sweat and stretch in all new ways with the latest additions to the Recreational Sports fitness class schedule.

Rec Sports added three new classes at campus fitness centers this semester: Barbell Beatz, Full Body Express and Flex & Flow.

Alice Adams, group fitness programming and education manager, said Rec Sports mission is to appeal to all students.

Barbell Beatz is a 50-minute cardio barbell class set to the rhythm of the music, focusing on foundational barbell strength movements performed with high repetition, Kayla Konczos, a second-year in veterinary medicine and instructor of the class, said.

Konczos said she finds staying on beat to be motivating in keeping up with the exercises and sweating.

Barbell Beatz differs from Cardio Barbell, another RPAC class offering full-body strength training with bursts of cardio, because music guides the flow of the class.

Adams said Full Body Express is a 45-minute total-body cardio and strength class that appeals to those on a time crunch.

Its great for when youre short on time and need an hour to do everything like work out, get changed and make it to work or class or anything, Adams said.

Gillian Jennings, a fourth-year in special education and instructor of the class, said she was inspired to bring Flex & Flow to campus after attending the annual Midwest Fit Fest last year.

Its a yoga class, but I also add free weights for strength and a little cardio training, Jennings said. So I love that its a little of everything.

Barbell Beatz is offered at 4:10 p.m. on Tuesdays in the RPAC Room B30. Full Body Express is offered at 6:45 p.m. on Tuesdays and 11:45 a.m. on Thursdays in the RPAC Room B30. Flex & Flow is offered at 11:45 a.m. on Mondays in the North Recreation Center Room 210.

All group fitness classes are free for students and other Recreational Sports members. More information and a complete schedule can be found on the Recreational Sports website.
