While there are no quick ways to lose weight, there are many diet hacks that you can follow to stay true to your 2020 fitness and weight loss resolutions. One such diet hack has been put forth by 33-year-old Dr Rohit Jain, a periodontist by profession. And, all it requires is a little bit of addition and subtraction of healthy calories from your daily meals. He lost 43 kgs and trimmed from 109 kgs to 66 kgs.

Says Jain, being a dentist, my job requires me to be seated at one place for long intervals. Over time, this led my body to gain a massive amount of weight (109 kgs!) and also severe back aches. These two problems started interfering with my daily job as well. I just knew I had to overcome both these issues as soon as possible thus I decided to get fit by following the below weight loss plan.

To lose weight, I started calculating my macros (protein, carbs and fat) and calorie intake. I knew that as long as I am eating within a suitable calorie range and exercising daily, Ill be able to lose weight in a sustainable manner.

What Jains just described is also known as the If It Fits Your Macros (IIFYM) diet.

IIFYM is a flexible dieting option that requires you to calculate how many grams of macronutrients (protein, fat and carbohydrates) your body needs to eat each day to thrive, and then tracking your food intake accordingly to only meet that number and not overeat. IIFYM diet lets one enjoy their favourite guilty pleasures also, as long as theyre meeting that number. Yes, ice cream is an option as per this diet hack but you've got to tread carefully!

QUICK READ: How to lose weight by calculating your macronutrients right

I wrote my macros down and calculated all my meals accordingly, everyday. This trick let me enjoy pizzas/burgers and junk food every now and then as I kept track of all my macros and did not exceed my calorie intake come what may.

The below diet plan will give you an insight into what my daily meals looked like (made in accordance to my calorie intake) and also give you a glimpse into how I managed to eat pizzas without straying from my calorie count.

Early morning (Pre-workout): 4 Almonds, 2 cashew nuts, 1 fig, 6-8 raisins and 1 banana

Breakfast: A big bowl of oats/muesli with a glass of juice

Mid-day Snacks: A bowl of sprouts or 2 biscuits with a cup of black coffee

Lunch and Dinner: 2 Chapatis without butter/ghee + 1 bowl of curd + 1 bowl of veggies + 1 bowl of any dal.

I ate all green vegetables including broccoli and beans. I also ate papads and pickles (in moderation). On Saturdays, Id enjoy a pizza or burger - also in moderation to satiate my tastebuds and not necessarily fill my stomach.

Along with rectifying my eating habits, I also started going to the gym. I enrolled myself in the gym, last year in June. I dropped the first 5 kgs very easily. But continued to work hard even after that. By December 2018, I weighed 90 kgs. And, today I weigh 66 kgs. I am actually trying to gain some weight now and reach 72 kgs. Below is the weight loss workout regime that helped him trim to 66 kgs.

My workout routine started with 40 minutes dedicated to cardio, initially, after riding a cycle from my home to the gym. The gym was around 8 kms away from my home. I made sure I followed this cycling + cardio routine at least 5 days a week.

QUICK READ: The best cardio machine for every type of workout

As I kept building my stamina and strength in the gym, I switched to a 40 min cardio + 40 min weight training routine - 5 days a week. I trained each muscle group once a week. For every muscle group, my coach made me do 8 exercises with 3 repetitions of 12-10-8. I usually worked Chest on Mondays, Arms on Tuesdays, Shoulder on Wednesdays, Back on Thursdays and Legs on Fridays including Ab Training on alternate days.

- Stay disciplined! Don't cheat either on your meals or on your workout schedule.

- Believe in yourself and never compare yourself with others in the gym.

- Also, dont make unrealistic goals that are not achievable. They will dishearten you and lower your motivation.

Its super cold outside. You could ride but, well, its super cold outside.

Fortunately, riding is just one of many enjoyable and enriching activities we can do with our horses. So, when that winter wind howls and the freezing rain comes blowing in from the side and you cant even feel your toes and hands enough to find your stirrups and reins, youve got some other choices.

Weve compiled a list of ideas for you smart equestrians looking for stimulating and mutually beneficial ways to share time with your horses this winter when getting into the saddle just isnt in the cards. Get ready to brighten your winter blues with these science-driven suggestions!

Some of the most well-educated horses under saddle are terrible to work with when it comes to veterinary and farrier care. Dont let your horse be one of them! Take this grounded time to teach him helpful skills that make practical management easier using well-timed positive and negative reinforcement. Take an electric toothbrush and teach him to accept the noise and then the vibration on his skin as a preparation for using clippers, says Andy Booth, trainer and owner of the Horseman Science education program based in southern France. Tap a pen against his neck to teach him to accept needle pressure. Desensitize his response to touching the ears. Train him to lower his head with poll pressure. Work on having him hold up his feet for farrier work. And give him dewormer cartridges (syringes) filled with applesauce.

Winter can be a gloomy time of year. But how does your horse feel about it? Theres actually a way to find out. Carried out correctly, a cognitive bias test can reveal interesting information about how optimistic or pessimistic your horse is on any given day. The concept was designed by Sabrina Briefer, PhD, of Agroscope National Stud, in Avenches, Switzerland, and is fairly simple. Place two covered buckets about 20 feet apart in an arena. Put a carrot in the left bucket but leave the right bucket empty. Then let the horse loose in the arena, and let him check out the buckets. Repeat this several times until the horse always goes directly to the left bucket and doesnt bother lifting the lid of the right bucket. Once that step is confirmed, take away the left and right buckets, and replace them with three covered buckets in intermediate positions (between where the right and left buckets had been). Let the horse go into the test area and see which lids he lifts. If he doesnt check any of the three new buckets, or only the one closest to the left, he might be a little pessimistic, says Briefer. However, if he checks the middle bucketor especially the bucket closest to the righthe might be optimistic despite the dreary winter days. Remember, though, this test was designed for researchers in specific scientific test settings. Its fun to see your results, but dont consider them 100% reliable at home.

Horses can recognize shapes, including circles, squares, letters, numbers, and more. Teach your horse to distinguish between shapes by printing out different black-and-white shapes, one per sheet of paper. Slip each page into a plastic sleeve (to protect it from slobber), then start by presenting just two shapes to your horse. (You can hold them up, but its easier to attach them to a wall.) Using positive reinforcement with small treats such as carrot or apple slices, teach your horse to point every time to one of the shapesfor example, the square. Be sure to switch the positions of the shapes so youre not training him to choose left versus right. Later, add shapes and even more complex shapes for your horse to differentiate between (e.g., choosing a square versus a rectangle). You can do the same with color blocks and eventually even combine colors with shapes (choose the green triangle). Youll learn a lot about your horses cognitionand his ability to see (or not see) certain colors. Meanwhile, your horse will exercise his cognitive skills and learn that he can learn. These exercises constitute cognitive activation, and theyre a great way to activate the horses mind and create a bond with the human, says Paolo Baragli, DVM, PhD, a researcher and professor specializing in the horse-human connection at the University of Pisa Department of Veterinary Sciences, in Italy. Its like a game with your horses, he says. Be careful not to frustrate your horse, though. Keep training sessions short, maybe five minutes at a time, and avoid switching the target shape or color too often, especially when hes just learning the game.

Even if you cant be working your horses full body under saddle during winter, you can keep his core muscles strong and healthy through carrot stretches. Using carrots as a motivator and a guide, bring your horses head toward his left side, his right side, and his belly between his front legs. He should be standing square without taking a step through the exercises. This will help strengthen stabilizing muscles in the back and abdomen. Start slowly, having the horse hold positions for two seconds. Gradually build to 10-second holds over a period of a few weeks.

Carrot stretches and other core training exercises have been proven to activate and strengthen the core muscles that are so important for keeping your horses back strong and healthy, says Hilary Clayton, BVMS, PhD, FRCVS, Dipl. ACVSMR, McPhail Dressage Chair Emerita at Michigan State University (MSU) and president of Sport Horse Science, in Mason, Michigan. Plus, doing these exercises is a great way to spend quality time with your horse on cold days.

You can find more details and step-by-step instructions in the The Horses Pocket Guide to Dynamic Mobility Exercises (Carrot Stretches).

When the weathers especially bad, take your training indoors. These negative-reinforcement skill-building exercises work just as well indoors in front of your fireplace as they do out in the barn or arena. Successful use of negative reinforcement requires excellent timing. Getting that timing right isnt as intuitive as you might think, says Angelo Telatin, PhD, associate professor of equine studies at Delaware Valley University, in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Work with a friend to complete a horse imitation exercise using a bit and reins. Have one person be the horse, grasping the bit with both fists clasped around the mouthpiece. The second person should hold the reins with flexed elbows as if he or she were riding.

With eyes closed (to not take visual clues from the other person), the rider should try to maintain a light contact with the horse in a set position. Meanwhile, the horse should make large, somewhat random movements with the bit, like a horse tossing his head. Ninety percent of the time, the rider has such stiff elbows that he cant follow the movement, and he ends up releasing pressure at the wrong moment, Telatin says. This exercise shows riders that what theyre actually telling the horse through their bad timing of reinforcement is: Yes, good! Keep tossing your head like that, thats right!

Its also useful for the horse to have a basic understanding of rein pressure from the horses point of view. People need to take turns being the horse and the rider in this exercise, he says.

In a second exercise, check your ability to have good timing with negative reinforcement by asking a friend or family member to drop a basic, bouncy rubber ball. Your goal is to clap your hands as soon as the ball touches the ground. Add a challenge by having the other person kick the ball before it touches the ground, or even when it bounces back up. Are you still able to align your clapping with when the ball hits the floor? Most people clap when the ball is kickedif it were a horse theyd be reinforcing the wrong behavior, Telatin says.

Horses primary language is body language. You can use this downtime to sharpen your interspecies communication skills through careful reading of your horses body languageand even trying to speak it yourself, says Mary Ann Simonds, MA, a Wellington, Florida-based scientist and equestrian specializing in educating owners and professionals in interspecies communication, especially with horses. Try doing a buddy scratch, she says. Start with a place you know your horse likes to be touchedthe neck or withersand start to scratch. Then just listenmeaning, watch and pay attention to any body signs the horse gives about what he wants. More? Less? Higher? To the right? If communication goes well, its possible your horse will try to scratch you back. You can also synchronize your breathing, Simonds says. Take time to listen and align your breathing with your horses. Then take a deep breath and see if your horse breathes deeply, too. Horses often synchronize their breathing with each other, she says. If you can do it now you might do it unconsciouslyto your benefitwhen riding, as well. Finally, take time to see what your horses body has to tell you about its health and fitness. Find out where your horse is tight, where hes weak, says Simonds. Does it hurt to touch a particular place? Does he feel balanced from side to side? Put your hands on either side of his neck and run them down the neck vertebrae looking for evenness from side to side. Is he tight over the poll? Does he have similar jaw muscles and spacing from side to side? Above all, spend a lot of time in eye-to-eye contact with your horsebut be sure to use gentle looks so as not to accidentally convey negative body language, she says.

Take a warm mug of your favorite brew out to the stable or field, and just spend long periods observing. You can learn a great deal about your horses by watching them, seeing how they move and interact, and paying attention to their similarities and unique differences, says Elke Hartmann, PhD, of the Department of Animal Environment and Health at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, in Uppsala. While a truly reliable analysis of herd dynamics would require as many as 15 hours of observation a day for several days in a row, you can still glean useful information about your horses and their relationships with each other by quietly watching for an hour or two, she says. Observe how they talk to each other, how much or how little is needed to approach or retreat, says Hartmann. How close are they to each other, or how far away do they stay? This will help you figure out who likes or dislikes whom. You can also add a prop to the scenario, she says. Add a novel object in the paddockan inflatable ball, for exampleand watch what happens. Who initiates an approach? Who watches from a distance? How does that relate to the relationships the horses have with each other? While this can give you an overview and better insight into your horses personalities and interhorse relationships, dont assume this means youve unraveled the mystery of herd rank, Hartmann warns. Herd dynamics are complex and require significant further investigation. However, you could challenge yourself to consider if anything youve observed might have parallels in your training, she says.

Whatever the reasons for losing weight, slimming down is something on the minds of many people. Therapists and life coaches, Nik and Eva Speakman, known as The Speakmans, shared their top tips to help Britons shape up this year.

The couple explained how slimmers can get into shape by taking a look at what they already eat and being patient.

The life coaches appeared on This Morning today to share their top tips on the best way to slim down.

Set realistic goals

They explained those hoping to lose weight should think about what they want to achieve and set realistic goals to help them get there.

They said: Most people say, I want to lose weight, as soon as you lose a pound youve succeeded, so stop.

By clearly setting up what they hope to achieve, slimmers will be able to achieve the goals.

Look at what you already eat

Many Britons will strive to follow a strict diet plan when they try to lose weight.

However, the experts revealed dieters can look at what they already eat to see what they can cut back on.

The experts said: If anyone has put weight on its happened over a period of time.

DON'T MISS

Ninety-eight percent of diets fail because theyre not sustainable long term, what we see is people then feel theyve failed.

Instead, dieters can stay motivated by figuring out when they started to overeat and what caused this.

Look at how you eat, what youd like to change and why you started overeating in the first place," they added.

Overeating is a symptom and behind it there is always a cause.

Eat intuitively

Those hoping to lose weight can also opt to find healthier versions of the foods they already enjoy.

Doing this, and making an effort to eat intuitively will help dieters achieve their weight loss results.

They explained: We know what we should do, we know we should not overeat.

It comes down to conditioning, the foods you like the most are ones you had as children.

At what point did you start putting weight on? We all have habits around food.

A GRADUATE has shed an impressive six stone after doctors warned a rare brain condition could be linked to her weight.

Size 22 Danielle Puttick once tipped the scales at 18st 3lb - but now she's a slim size 10, weighing 12st 2lb.

The 26-year-old animation designer, from Sunderland, was diagnosed with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IH) in November 2016.

Doctors warned Danielle's size may have contributed to the condition and advised her to lose weight to reverse the effects.

She joined her local Slimming World, at Silksworth Medical Church, a month later.

Danielle said: "My condition left me bedbound for a while but I wouldn't let it beat me.

6

"I have been big my entire life, but decided I wanted to lose weight when I started my masters degree in design.

"My main motivation was that I wanted a nice photo of myself.

"After I became ill, I was told by doctors that they didnt know what causes the condition.

"But the doctors said that it might have something to to with weight and said I needed to lose some as it could reverse the effects of the condition.

"That was the moment when I thought 'I really have to do this now'. I joined Slimming World as soon as I was able to walk out of the hospital on crutches."

Danielle was studying at Sunderland University when she began to suffer from migraines.

She was referred for an eye test on October 24, 2016, where opticians found blood at the back of her eye.

Medics thought Danielle was suffering from a brain haemorrhage and transferred her to Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary the next day for a CT scan.

There, doctors diagnosed her with IH, a condition which causes raised fluid pressure around the brain.

Danielle had surgery immediately and had a lumbar stent placed in her back, to control the flow of brain fluids.

6

Official health advice says sustainable weight loss through healthy eating is a critical part of treatment for people with IH who are overweight.

Past studies have shown weight loss can reduce symptoms, but Danielle says this wasn't the case with her.

Although her overall health has improved, Danielle says she still suffers from tiredness and migraines.

Intracranial hypertension: the facts

Intracrainial hypertension (IH) is the build-up of pressure around the brain.

Acute IH can be caused by stroke, injury or a brain abcess.

Chronic IH (which Danielle has) is rare and it's often unclear why it happens.

It mainly affects women in their 20s/30s and has been associated with:

But these are only links, not necessarily causes.

Symptoms include:

She said: "Since my diagnosis, I have found my condition gets bad if I do a long day but I dont believe it has got anything to do with weight.

"When I was doing an internship I found that anxiety and stress were triggers.

"But I had always wanted to lose weight and feel happy that I have finally have. Slimming World is like a family and gave me a life."

Start (Jan. 1): 457 lbs.

End (Dec. 31): 447 lbs.

Lost in 2019: 10 pounds

Theres one major problem with the Lake Placid Diet; there are too many voices in my head.

The vast majority of people whove contacted me about the column since I began writing it six years ago have been extremely supportive. A lot of friends have offered to go walking with me. Many readers including strangers have offered dieting advice without me asking for it. And others including people I consider friends have been hurtful with their words, even though I believe they mean well.

Thats the danger of opening up your feelings to the public about something as deeply personal as a weight-loss journey. After a while, I get nervous about what Im sharing. Is it too personal? Is there too much negativity? Why share my story if Im struggling all the time and have little to show for my efforts or non-efforts?

Im wrapped in a straight jacket of self-doubt. My confidence has disappeared. And I do what Ive always done when I dont want to face others: I either run or hide.

I began 2019 with another years worth of goals, mainly to lose weight and get stronger. Along the way, I added other goals, such as rediscover what made the Lake Placid Diet so successful in the first 18 months, from December 2013 to June 2015. Thats when I lost more than 80 pounds and completed two half marathons in Lake Placid. Another 2019 goal was to stop using a cane to help me walk around; it was useful when my weight weakened my legs and during episodes of gout.

In all, I lost 10 pounds in 2019. I started at 457 on Jan. 1, went down as low as 435 but eventually settled on 447 on Tuesday, Dec. 31.

On March 24, I put aside the cane and didnt use it again until the middle of August when I had some back problems. I continued to use the cane until Dec. 17, when I put it away again. So I can safely say I ended 2019 without using the cane.

Getting back to the gym was another goal, but I fell short. I spent some time working out at Fitness Revolution in Lake Placid, but I havent been there in months, for a variety of reasons. Ive been having car trouble since September (its finally fixed now after almost $900 worth of work). Ive also been working several jobs to make ends meet, using up even more of my time. Hardly a day goes by without working on something.

Its not much, but thats my year in review.

Looking forward, let me tell you about something strange that happened to me last week in a good way. For some reason just before Christmas, I didnt eat meat one day, and the next day I had more energy than Ive had in many months. When I get extra sleep, I also feel energized, but this was something completely different. It got me thinking about adopting a whole foods, plant-based diet. Its something Im pondering as I head into 2020 a new year and a new decade I turned 50 in September.

Ive also been thinking about learning meditation; I need to slow down more and reduce my stress. Thats one of my biggest problems, other than all those voices in my head.

Im going to start giving weekly updates of the Lake Placid Diet again this year. No more of this write it whenever I feel like it. Weekly progress reports actually worked in 2014 when I lost all that weight. It held me accountable, no matter how embarrassed I felt about my shortcomings.

I think I just need to keep my head down and plug away, keep pushing, and see where this journey takes me in 2020. Maybe stop listening to the negativity and start believing in myself again.

Matcha tea or 'powdered tea' is the best weight loss beverage, which you could use. It is used in the Japanese tea ceremony and is obtained from the same plant as green tea. However, matcha tea is ten times more effective than green tea in terms of weight loss. The main reason is that matcha tea is processed differently as here instead of powder entire tea leaf is used in the preparation. The matcha tea plant is grown in the Uji region of Japan where they are covered with bamboo shades, allowing only 20% of sun rays to reach the plants. This process helps increase the chlorophyll levels of the leaves.Weight Loss Tip of the Week: How to Use Snow Mountain Garlic (Kashmiri Lahsun) to Lose Weight.

Matcha tea contains the most abundant and proactive antioxidant, Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) which contributes to a greater extent in weight loss. Scientists at the University of Colorado found that the EGCG content in matcha is 137 times more than Chinese green tea. The antioxidant in matcha tea detoxifies the body, boost immunity and also reduce inflammation. Apart from this, matcha tea also increases the metabolic rate at the same time speed up the fat burn process while performing endurance exercises like dancing, running, etc.

The presence of EGCG antioxidant is also responsible for reducing the bad LDL cholesterol which can lead to chronic heart disease. This magical weight loss tea also helps in making the person more proactive and alert. It is safe to drink three to four cups of matcha tea in a day for ideal weight loss, however along with that, it is also necessary to do some physical activity.

OUACHITA PARISH, LA (01/03/20)-- 2020 is a new year, a new decade, and can offer new opportunities. However, the Louisiana Secretary of State and the Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office is warning citizens about a scam that could make 2020 a tough year for you.

"We look at protecting business and cybersecurity for our elections. We thought, well we should offer the citizens the same information for their own personal documents," said Kyle Ardoin, Louisiana Secretary of State.

Officials are asking that people don't abbreviate the year 2020 to just 20 on legal documents. This could allow a scammer to add a different number to the end, essentially backdating your document.

"For example, if you just put 1/1/20, someone could come back and put 17 behind it. So it's like your document was predated," said Ardoin.
