The 1 Food Jennifer Lopez Will Never Eat – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Jennifer Lopez is mostly known as an actress, dancer, and singer. But if youve followed her closely throughout her decades-long career, you know that shes a bit of a foodie, too.

Though she tends to follow a strict diet, the Goin In singer will occasionally pig out on a variety of foods. She eats everything from pizza and steak to octopus and less popular fruits. But, like everyone, J. Lo has her limits.

Heres the one food youll never catch Lopez eating.

In a 2013 interview with CBS News, the Get Right singer told host Gayle King that she cant stand exotic foods. These are usually unusual or taboo meats, vegetables, fruits, or spices.

I dont like the exotic kinds of food like snake like venison and things like that, Lopez said. It gets too weird.

But Lopez reportedly has some weird food habits herself. According to multiple reports, she has to have her coffee stirred counterclockwise. Its unclear why she allegedly has to have it this way, but if its not, she reportedly wont drink it.

Lopez follows a clean diet complete with plenty of protein, fruits, and vegetables. She tends to eat chicken, fish, smoothies, oatmeal, salads, and eggs.

I have her eating very clean because she needs really good fuel for all the things that shes doing, her trainer, Tracy Anderson, previously toldPeople. Its all organic and its all very well thought out, with the balance of very high quality proteins and a lot of nutrient-dense food everything is fresh.

Lopez steers clear of alcohol and caffeine. But on the rare occasion that she does want coffee, she always reaches for decaf (before stirring it counterclockwise).

Though she generally follows a strict food regimen, the Im Real singer doesnt totally deprive herself of her favorite foods.

Throughout the years Ive learned the importance of maintaining a healthier [] diet, shepreviously told People. I still eat some of the foods I love, but in moderation. I dont deprive myself.

When shes ready to pig out, Lopez loves Puerto Rican food and chocolate chip cookies.

I happen to know a woman that loves cookies and I meanloves,her fianc, Alex A-Rod Rodriguez, revealed in a November 2018 episode of Shark Tank. Jennifer eats a cookie every night before she goes to bed.

Rodriguez also said during a 2017 appearance on The View that Lopezs other guilty pleasure is chocolate chip ice cream.

Speaking of Rodriguez, he and Lopez often do diets and cleanses together. In February of 2019, the couple went on a 10-day, no-sugar, no-carb detox. After completing the challenge, they celebrated by having a feast.

According to People, they chowed down on fried and sweet plantains, pizza, fries, veggies, and more.

But they didnt waste any time getting back in the gym to work it off. Learn more about Lopezs workout routine here.

This Scientist Believes Aging Is Optional – Outside

The oldest-known living person is Kane Tanaka, a Japanese woman who is a mind-boggling 116 years old. But if you askDavid Sinclair, hed argue that 116 is just middle age. At least, he thinks it should be. Sinclair is one of the leading scientists in the field ofaging, and he believes that growing oldisnt a natural part of lifeits a disease that needs a cure.

Sounds crazy, right? Sinclair, a Harvard professor who made Times list of the100 most influential people in the world in 2014, will acquiesce that everyone has to die at some point, but he argues that we can double our life expectancy and live healthy, active lives right up until the end.

His new book,Lifespan: Why We Age and Why We Dont Have To ($28, Atria Books), out this fall, details the cutting-edge science thats taking place in the field of longevity right now. The quick takeaway from this not-so-quick read: scientists are tossing out previous assumptions about aging, and theyve discovered several tools that you can employ right now to slow down, and in some cases, reverse the clock.

In the nineties, as a postdoc in an MIT lab, Sinclair caused a stir in the fieldwhen he discovered the mechanism that leads to aging in yeast, which offered some insight into why humans age. Using his work with yeast as a launching point, Sinclair and his lab colleagues have focused on identifying the mechanism for aging in humansand published a study in 2013 asserting that the malfunction of a family of proteins called sirtuins is the singlecause of aging. Sirtuins are responsible for repairing DNA damage and controlling overall cellular health by keeping cells on task. In other words, sirtuins tell kidney cells to act like kidney cells. If they get overwhelmed, cells start to misbehave, and we see the symptoms of aging, like organ failure or wrinkles. All of the genetic info in our cells is still there as we get older, but our body loses the ability to interpret it. This is because our body starts to run low onNAD, a molecule that activates the sirtuins: we have half as much NAD in our body when were 50 as we do at 20. Without it, the sirtuins cant do their job, and the cells in our body forget what theyre supposed to be doing.

Sinclair splits his time between the U.S.and Australia, running labs at Harvard Medical School and at the University of New South Wales. All of his research seeks to prove thataging is a problem we can solveand figure out how to stop. He argues that we can slow down the aging process, and in some cases even reverse it, by putting our body through healthy stressors that increase NAD levels and promote sirtuin activity.The role of sirtuins in aging is now fairly well accepted, but the idea that we can reactivate them (and how best to do so) is still being worked out.

Getting cold, working out hard, andgoing hungry every once in a whileall engage what Sinclair calls our bodys survival circuit, wherein sirtuins tell cells to boost their defenses in order to keep the organism (you) alive. While Sinclairs survival-circuittheory hasyet to be proven in a trial setting, theres plenty of research to suggest that exercise, cold exposure, and calorie reduction all help slow down the side effects of aging and stave off diseases associated with getting older.Fasting, in particular, has been well supported by other research: in various studies, both mice and yeast that were fed restricted diets live much longer than their well-fed cohorts. A two-year-long human experimentin the 1990s found that participants who had a restricted diet that left them hungry often had decreased blood pressure, blood-sugar levels, and cholesterol levels. Subsequent human studiesfound that decreasing calories by 12 percent slowed down biological aging based on changes in blood biomarkers.

Longevity science is a bit like the Wild West: the rules arent quite established. The research is exciting, but human clinical trials havent found anything definitive just yet.Throughout the field, theres an uncomfortable relationship between privately owned companies, researchers, and even research institutes like Harvard: Sinclair points to a biomarker test by a company called InsideTrackeras proof of his own reduced biological age, but he is also an investor in that company. He is listed as an inventor on a patent held by a NAD booster thats on the market right now, too.

While the dust settles, the bestadvice for the curious to take fromLifespan is to experiment with habitsthat are easy, free,and harmlesslike taking a brisk, cold walk and eating a lighter diet.With cold exposure, Sinclair explains, moderation is the key. He believes that you can reap benefits by simply taking a walk in the winter without a jacket. Hedoesnt prescribe an exact fasting regimenthat works best, but he doesntrecommend anything extremesimply missing a meal here and there, like skipping breakfast and having a late lunch.

Lifespan is a timely book, but its not necessarily an easy read. The science is dense, and even listening to Sinclair explain it on podcasts and during presentations doesnt help cut through all of the nerd speak. But if youre even mildly hopeful about dunking a basketball at the age of 50, or hiking the Appalachian Trail at 70, or blowing 100 candles out on your birthday cake someday, you might consider making room for Lifespan on your bookshelf. Theres enough useful information to make it worth your time.

What food is truly sustainable? The McCartney family, rapper Loyle Carner, chef Douglas McMaster and climate activist Anna Taylor tell all

The Sunday Times,November 10 2019, 12:01am

The McCartney family are passionate about the planet. From the Meat Free Monday campaign Sir Paul launched with his daughters Stella and Mary to Stellas Today for Tomorrow award for young activists combating climate change, they wear their eco-credentials on their sleeve.

It was their idea to bring together a group of like-minded people to discuss sustainability and in particular how we think about the future of food. Its a hot topic right now, with the exhibition Food: Bigger than the Plate at the V&A and the publication of the Jonathan Safran Foer book We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast.

I love that book, exclaims Stella McCartney. Ive just collaborated with him on a new collection. Perhaps surprising, given that

Health and Fitness: Six ways to balance out the festive season – Newcastle Herald

news, health,

According to my kids, who are vigilantly counting down, Christmas is just over six weeks away. The amount of times they told me this correlated with the amount of Christmas parties we added to our November-December calendar in the past week. This time of year can feel like an uphill battle as far as your health and fitness go, but it doesn't have to be. Food planning plus quick and adaptable workouts could be key. If you are normally an early morning exerciser but extra evening catch-ups are making it harder to get up, do your workout at lunchtime instead. Or break your session into smaller parts. Instead of one hour each morning, you might do 15-20 minutes in the morning, at lunch and in the afternoon or evening. You might only have 10 minutes to spare but that is still better than nothing. Sometimes, when I am really time poor, I will squeeze three rounds of fitness in while making lunches in the morning or cooking dinner at night. Example 1: 10 squats, 10 push-ups, 10 lunges, 10 rows, 30 second hover/plank or 10 opposing single arm and leg extensions. That's one round. Your rest time is food preparation time. Then go again. Example 2: 30sec wall squat hold, 20 shoulder throws with light weights (like straight punches, alternating arms), 50 mountain climbers, 20 lunges with a knee raise, ab rotation with weight. Instead of 45-minute all over workouts, do smaller workouts that target specific body parts like Monday leg strength, Tuesday arms, Wednesday cardio and core, Thursday legs, Friday arms, weekend cardio and core. Legs: three rounds x 45 seconds each of squats, dead lifts, walking lunges, lateral leg raises (make it harder with a band), glute bridge. Arms: three rounds x 45sec each of push-ups, bent-over rows with triceps kickback, shoulder press, lateral raises, biceps curls. Cardio and core: three rounds x 45sec each of mountain climbers, ab crunch, skipping, opposing single arm and leg extension, burpees. Get more physical activity into your jam-packed day by riding or walking to work (or parking further away to increase the walk) and scheduling walking meetings at work. Keeping the diet healthy can be tough this time of year. It is when meal planning really comes to the fore. Make meals that will last a couple of nights. Eat before you head out to a Christmas catch-up function where food is supplied and healthy options could be non-existent. If it is a family affair, I always make sure I take along an adequate amount of fresh fruit, salad and raw vegetables for the kids to snack on. Make smoothies. This is a quick way to get a serve or two of fruit and vegetables into your and your family's day. My favourite is frozen mango, frozen banana, baby spinach leaves and milk or water. The festive season is a wonderful time to catch up with friends, family and work colleagues but it does not have to be to the detriment of your health and fitness if you plan ahead and modify. Variety Santa Fun Run, The Station, December 8: The event has 5km and 10km courses and is fully inclusive and family friendly. And what more incentive is there than that every participant gets a Santa suit to wear included in their entry fee. Across the Harbour Swim, Newcastle harbour, January 26: It is the only legal way to swim across our busy harbour. Choose between the 700-metre single crossing or 1.4km double crossing. Nobbys 2 Newcastle Ocean Swim, Nobbys beach, January 25: A 2km ocean swim between two of Newcastle's most iconic beaches. With three weeks until summer, it is circuit time. 10 exercises, three times through. Work 45 seconds, rest 15. Add a one or two-minute break between each round. Workout 1 (strength and cardio): Squats, mountain climbers, shoulder press, skipping, bent-over row, 10-metre shuttle run, weighted ab rotation, plyometric lunges, push-ups, burpees.

Finding right balance in the festive season | Health and fitness

According to my kids, who are vigilantly counting down, Christmas is just over six weeks away.

The amount of times they told me this correlated with the amount of Christmas parties we added to our November-December calendar in the past week.

This time of year can feel like an uphill battle as far as your health and fitness go, but it doesn't have to be.

Diet secret that led to fast food addict’s 44kg weightloss – 7NEWS

A 114kg McDonald's lover has revealed how she dropped 44kg in nine months - while still enjoying Chicken McNuggets.

Jessica Dotson, from Alabama, claims she spent around $2500 a year on McDonald's food, munching on 20-piece McNuggets and large fries at least five days a week.

Scroll down to see Jessica's day on a plate

The mum-of-two claims she had always been big but decided to make a dramatic change after giving birth to her second child and realising she needed to be healthier to be there for her children.

"It was basically gluttony and eating and eating and eating. I had McDonald's nearly every day," Jessica says.

"Food was my coping mechanism so whenever I got upset about something I would just eat."

The 26-year-old weighed 114kg at her heaviest with rocketing blood pressure and cholesterol - and feared she may be heading towards a heart attack if she didn't lose weight.

But, certain that if she cut out all her favourite food her diet would fail, the determined mum instead cut her portions in half, at first limited herself to 1,500 calories a day and tried to bring more vegetables into her diet.

More on 7NEWS.com.au

Then, in February, she began an intermittent diet plan which helped Jessica drop 44kg in just nine months.

"I did a lot of research on weight loss and saw a lot of people talking about intermittent fasting, which is where you eat but you have a 16-hour window where you don't eat," she says.

"It's supposed to help lower your blood sugar. I just did research to find a plan which I thought would be the best one for me."

While Jessica admits it was "hard work at the beginning", soon her new regimen was bearing results.

"I really try not to cut anything out. If I tried [other diets], they would fail because I would want something [and eat it]," she explains.

"So it has been all about moderation and self-control. Sure you can have a piece of candy but you have to eat that one piece and not the whole bag. It was a lot of self-control and self-determination."

As well as cutting back on her calories and fasting for 16 hours a day, Jessica started dancing to YouTube fitness videos before getting the confidence to join the gym.

Her efforts mean Jessica has dropped eight dress sizes from a size 26 to a 10 and is now 65kg, meaning she's lost 49kg in total.

The mum still allows herself a treat McDonald's with her kids - although her 20-piece McNuggets and large fries have been swapped to a six-piece box and small fries.

"I don't go to McDonald's as much as I did, and I've saved a lot of money," the mum says.

"I've gone from going once a day to maybe twice a week, something like that.

"It's mostly at the weekends with my kids. It's now more of a treat. I've saved probably $35 a week. I didn't necessarily go every day but I would go five days a week.

"Lately it's been good to have the extra cash if I need it for something. I had to get completely new clothes and everything"

As for her new look, Jessica is thrilled but determined to keep going.

"I feel confident now. I'm not there yet because I was so big for so long.

"It's still hard to see myself as smaller. Sometimes I still see myself as big. That's something I have to work on because it's a major, drastic change.

"I can do more stuff with my kids. I get more active with them walking to places. Buying clothes is a lot easier too."

Jessica's diet before

Breakfast: Pancakes with sausage, or pop tarts

Lunch: McDonald's (usually a 20-piece McNugget box with large fries), noodles or macaroni

Dinner: The same, depending on what had been for lunch

Snacks: Pop-tarts, nachos, chocolate, chips

Jessica's diet after

Breakfast: Bacon and eggs

Lunch: Chicken and vegetables, occasionally a McDonald's (usually a six-piece McNugget box with small fries)

Dinner: Small portion of macaroni with green beans

Snacks: Small snack of around 100 calories, such as a Slim Jim jerky snack or packet of crackers

Ree Drummond Says a Low-Carb Diet Is the Secret to Her Incredible Weight Loss – msnNOW

Instagram Ree Drummond said she lost weight by following a low-carb diet, walking each night, and doing the row machine while watching TV. The New Frontier is out now.

Gone are the days of waiting until the New Year to make some healthy changes! Ree Drummond recently debuted a slimmer figure in October, and the Pioneer Woman star wrote on Instagram that it took her "two full seasons" to achieve her goal.

Drummond shared a boho-inspired elevator selfie wearing black jeans and high, tan boots. "These jeans are a size smaller than Ive worn for (quite) awhile and even though they were skin tight (as you can probably see) and a long top was required, they buttoned," she wrote in the caption.

The Food Network star went on to say that she attributes her ability to fit into her dream jeans to watching her favorite show, as long as she did so while working out on a rowing machine. It seems like the system worked for the celebrity chef! "It just took two full seasons for the buttoning to be successful," she wrote.

Here are the secrets behind Drummond's recent weight loss. (Hint: A low-carb diet is involved!)

The rowing machine isn't the only way Drummond stays active. She began her most recent weight loss journey last summer. In July 2018, the celebrity chef wrote on her Facebook page that she slimmed downnot by endorsing any weight loss pillsbut by staying active.

I am a regular gal who loves food and whose jeans periodically get too tight. Right now, I am losing weight and my jeans are fitting better, but its because I am eating fewer carbs and walking/sweating with my dogs every night," she wrote.

Going for walks on the regular can not only help you burn belly fat and increase your metabolism to lose weight, but it can also improve your mood and decrease your risk of chronic disease. Plus, we'll take any excuse to spend quality time with a fur baby!

Easter nap.

A post shared by Ree Drummond - Pioneer Woman (@thepioneerwoman) on Apr 1, 2018 at 1:04pm PDT

In the past, Drummond has admitted to drinking Slim Fast shakes to lose weight. In 2012, she wrote on her blog that she lost seven pounds by drinking the shakes.

Her recent weight loss is attributed to following a low-carb diet. In July 2018, the Food Network star decided to switch up her lifestyle by hopping on the keto train. Last summer, I kind of dove into the keto world and enjoyed it, Drummond told People in April. It was a good exercise.

"I have been eating low carb for a couple of months, but there's still plenty of calamity and chaos going on under my blousy top, which is why I have an undying loyalty to blousy tops," she wrote in an Instagram caption from July 2018.

This isn't so much a selfie as an outfit selfie, so I hope my teenagers don't look at it as a violation of the one-mom-selfie-per-month rule. And anyway, I gave them life, so they should be okay with it. I'm not trying to pose flirtatiously with my hand delicately resting in my hair. My bangs will not stay out of my face today because of a curling iron mishap, and I was just holding them out of the way. Also, my little toe is splurging out the side of my otherwise-cute shoes, which really hurts my feelings. In other news, I have been eating low carb for a couple of months, but there's still plenty of calamity and chaos going on under my blousy top, which is why I have an undying loyalty to blousy tops. And this is my favorite color of red. It's like a cherry and a watermelon had a baby. Thank you for listening.

A post shared by Ree Drummond - Pioneer Woman (@thepioneerwoman) on Jul 28, 2018 at 2:33pm PDT

The ketogenic diet is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat plan that aims to induce ketosis, a metabolic process where your body uses fat storage for energy instead of carbs (carbs in the form of glucose are the body's go-to source for energy). The keto diet has been shown to result in weight loss, yet more research is needed to understand its long-term effects.

Drummond told People that she has since settled back into a more sustainable, realistic way of eating," but her keto experience influenced her latest cookbook, The New Frontier.

The Food Network star told the outlet that her new book is not a keto cookbook or a low-carb cookbook, but it's packed with suggestions for how to lighten up an otherwise really carb-heavy dish."

She added that she enjoyed coming up with lower-carb versions of delicious dishes in The New Frontier. More than any cookbook before this one, this really reflects my life in terms of what Im eating, she said. Some days Im like, You know what? Im going to use spaghetti squash instead of pasta, and the next day I eat, like, a big lasagna roll up with creamy shrimp scampi.

You can pick up a copy of The New Frontier now.

Will going on the keto diet cause hair loss? – Now To Love

While many people have credited the keto diet for setting them on a healthier, happier path, experts say there are unfortunate side effects to such a drastic diet, a key one being hair loss.

By Lauren Meisner

How does this help you lose weight? Science-based nutrition website, Bulletproof, explains: "The keto diet forces your body to burn fat, rather than glucose, for energy.

"When your body can't get glucose from bread and pasta, your liver converts body fat and fat from your diet into molecules called ketones, an alternative source of fuel. This puts you into ketosis, aka prime weight loss mode."

But like most things in life, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

While the keto diet has certainly changed many lives, setting people on a healthier, happier path, experts are now saying there are many unfortunate side effects to such a drastic diet, a key one being hair loss.

We set out to investigate why this happens and what measures you can take to save your hair if you're thinking about going keto, and while the jury is still out on the health risks associated with the keto diet, many experts agree that hair loss and damage to your hair's integrity is a very real possibility and can happen because of three main reasons: stress, lack of nutrients, and lack of protein.

The keto diet is restrictive in nature and can put a lot of stress on both your mind and body. Dr. Anthony Gustin of Perfect Keto outlines six main reasons you may be experiencing stress on keto, including: nutritional deficiencies, caloric deficit, calorie restriction, psychological stress, keto flu, and keto rash.

"The keto diet may put stress on a person in more ways than you might actually be thinking, Keri Gans, RDN, told Health.com.

"It's a diet of restriction. That takes effort and could be causing stress."

This may be particularly true for those trying to micromanage other aspects of their lives or who might be going through a big life change outside of the keto diet.

Physiologically, followers of the keto diet often experience rapid weight loss, which can lead to hair loss.

Ali Miller, R.D., and keto dieter herself, told Mind Body Green that eating in such a calorie deficit way can put your body into constant fight or flight mode, "That can stress your thyroid, which can impact your adrenals, that can even drive an autoimmune reaction - all of which could contribute to hair loss."

Essentially extreme calorie restriction (in any form) will cause the body to go into conservation mode, spending less energy on hair growth.

Lack of nutrients can play a big factor in hair loss and unfortunately with keto, both calorie restriction and food restrictions can lead to nutrient deficiency.

Alina Petre, MS, RD of Healthline outlines five nutrients that are critical to healthy hair growth: iron, zinc, linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid, vitamin B3 and biotin.

"Fruits and vegetables are good for us; they're high in antioxidants and full of vitamins and minerals," explains Annette Frain, RD, to Health.com.

"If you eliminate those, you aren't getting those nutrients over time."

Dr. Gustin says the problem with low-carb diets is they flush out essential vitamins and minerals within the first few days, and many people don't realise they need to replenish these while on the diet.

"As you eat fewer carbs, your body produces less insulin, and glycogen stores get depleted. When glycogen stores are depleted, your kidneys excrete water and electrolytes like sodium, zinc, magnesium, potassium and iodine in large amounts."

And if you're not replenishing, your hair will suffer.

Finally, protein deficiency is a big concern for those starting out on keto and can lead to hair loss. This often occurs because those who aren't consuming enough protein are actually iron deficient. Low iron can lead to hypothyroidism which directly impacts hair health and growth.

Miller explains that the classic keto diet was developed for those with epilepsy and neurological disease and is often extremely protein-restricted. "What happens, often with women, is that their appetite is regulated and they don't have organic hunger. So they under-eatand they under-eat protein pretty dramaticallyand the first sign of protein malnourishment is hair loss."

Dr. Gustin elaborates on this, stating that many beginners believe eating too much protein will knock them out of ketosis, which is not true. However, Dr. Joshua Zeichner told Women's Health that while inadequate protein consumption may lead to hair loss (among other issues with skin and nails), in his experience, most people on the keto diet do consume enough protein and that the extreme calorie restriction is likely the bigger culprit for hair loss on keto.

Most experts recommend taking daily supplements, like a multivitamin or biotin, when on the keto diet and having regular doctor visits to ensure your electrolytes and nutrients remain stable during the diet.

Dr. Gustin provides a list of six essential foods and supplements you should consume on the keto diet to prevent hair loss and other adverse side effects including biotin, MSM, bone broth, collagen, zinc, coconut oil.

For most women, Miller suggests consuming 60-90 grams of protein per day, while both Dr. Gustin and Dr. Zeichner stress the importance of eating enough calories and replenishing your electrolytes.

Mum ditches 1,000 a month fast food habit and loses three stone in 14 weeks – Mirror Online

A mum who spent 1,000 a month on takeaways and meals out has lost more than three stone in just 14 weeks and overcome her "horrific" back pain .

Corrie D'Silva, 40, has shed an amazing four dress sizes after taking a standard against her weight by ditching her expensive eating habits and nightly bottle of wine for healthy homemade meals and exercising with a personal trainer .

The mum-of-two from Sandbach, Cheshire, started piling on weight in September 2016 after getting married and recovering from a severe back injury.

She was on medication after back surgery to cut out disks that were bulging into her spine and doctors told her she would never be able to train at the gym again. At her heaviest, Corrie reached 13st 5lbs and began wearing a size 16.

However, she has managed to lose more than three stone in just three months to weight 10st 2lbs and fit into a slender size eight after starting a mixture of strength and cardio training, which has also strengthened her back to help avoid further injuries.

Corrie, who runs her own mortgage broking business with husband Nick, regularly indulged in food and drink at networkoing events, ordered pizza or Thai takeaway several times a week or ate ready meals because she didn't have time to cook.

Corrie said: "Back then, I really lacked confidence and my back injury became an excuse not to exercise.

"After surgery I suffered from horrific pain and doctors told me to take it easy, meaning I could no longer train and could only go swimming and do yoga.

"It didn't just have a physical effect on me, it also had a mental effect because I didn't like myself.

"The turning point for me was when we moved house in May 2019. I realised I was so busy with the children and my business that I had picked up bad habits.

"I was doing damage to myself by snacking on crisps and sausage rolls and drinking a full bottle of wine to myself every night, and felt exhausted when I should have been enjoying my new house.

"My husband Nick and I liked to socialise a lot and we would probably spend the best part of 1,000 a month just on eating out and drinking, along with buying takeaways.

"At networking events I would have a three course meal at an Italian or steak restaurant, and we'd buy Dominoes or Thai takeaways a couple of times a week. On top of that I would drink wine and gin when out socialising.

"I had the realisation that my back would end up in worse pain if I carried on and I wanted to make positive changes for my health and children."

Despite being told by doctors not to train, Corrie got a personal trainer and began to eat healthier in May 2019.

Her initial weight loss goal was two stone, but she massively surpassed that by training twice a week, doing strength workouts including shoulder presses and sled drags.

Corrie ditched the takeaways and ready meals in favour of healthier options such as vegetable soup for lunch and salmon for dinner - and even gave up drinking for the 14 week programme.

Although she still attended networking events for her job, she usually ate beforehand and refrained from drinking.

Corrie said: "At first I was really worried about training because of my back issues, but I gave it a go with my personal trainer and the initial results were phenomenal. I regained confidence and had lots of support.

"My personal trainer took my back injury into consideration and I underwent physio at the same time. Now my back is a lot stronger.

"My physiotherapist can see the impact my weight loss and training has had when looking at my back, and can tell it's not under as much strain anymore.

"After surgery I had to lie down for two weeks straight and I was disappointed when doctors told me I wouldn't be able to train, because that meant I wouldn't be able to get back to the weight that I was before.

"At the end of my transformation, I felt like the person I always wanted to be. It was amazing to get myself back and I felt mentally better too.

"It's been a life changing experience for me and I felt like my personal trainer wrapped me up in cotton wool for three months and genuinely cared about my progress.

"My fitness venture has rubbed off on my children and husband too - it feels great to be able to get out more and be active with them. and it's given me a different lease of life.

"I now see pictures from when I was heavy and miserable and I feel embarassed - having come from a place in hospital after the surgery I thought 'this isn't who I want to be, there's more out there for me'.

"My message to others is that if you have an injury and want to lose weight, training and exercise is so beneficial for your mental and physical health, and you've just got to want it and make that change."

Corrie is still on her weight loss journey, and is currently enjoying a maintenance programme at the gym to keep herself on track.

If you want to lose weight without leaving rice, then you must read this – News Track English

Everyone has their own opinion on rice when it comes to weight loss. However, some women completely exclude it from their diet during weight loss, while some eat it several times a week. But according to research, if you eat it in the right way and at the right time, then it has no effect on your belly. Simple carbs are usually found in rice, due to which they are easily digested and you often feel hungry. It is believed that rice increases your weight, butthey can be consumed very easily even during dieting butyou should eat it properly which can reduce your weight easily.

The best way to eatrice for lunch is the best time. This is due to two factors. Firstly, during the day, our metabolism intensifies and our body helps in digesting all heavy healthy foods. The same time after breakfast is when you feel hungry and need energy to last for the next 8-10 hours.

Rice is healthy. There are no opinions on this. The only difference between white rice and brown rice is that the latter is heavier and takes longer to digest. Also, eating white or brown does not make much of a difference and both can be consumed. If you eat brown rice instead of white rice, weight loss will help. Not only this, after joining the brown rice diet, you just have to walk 30 minutes fast. The study found that by increasing fiber in the daily diet, you can reduce up to 100 calories.
