At 37 years old, Lisa Pessah-Bloom, a mother of three, was pre-diabetic, struggling with losing postpartum pounds and concerned about her health.

I had gestational diabetes for all three of my pregnancies. After my third, my A1C (blood sugar measurement) kept rising, and the doctor told me for the first time to be careful, because I was on track for diabetes.

Pessah-Bloom knew that she had to shed her pregnancy pounds and get her blood sugar under control. She did a Google search on diets for diabetes and stumbled upon the Paleo diet, which includes protein-rich foods like meat, fish, eggs and nuts, as well as vegetables and fruit, but excludes grains, dairy, legumes, sugars and salt. People said that their diabetes was reversed, she said.

She started eating more vegetables and unprocessed foods. But while following Paleo helped Pessah-Bloom eat a clean, lean diet, it wasnt enough to get her to her goal. She needed something else a support system of sorts and so she opened an account on Instagram under the handle @paleoworkingmama.

I started my Paleo page for motivation, really for myself, Pessah-Bloom said. But it wasnt long before she found people with health issues like herself who were also using the photo-driven app. I started following others who reversed Crohns and IBS too, which I also had, she said.

The more I followed people, the more I felt empowered. And then something unexpected happened. After some time, people who followed me told me that I me! empowered them. It was a chain of support, she said. I got it from others, and I gave it to others. People asked me to come to their house to perform refrigerator cleansing! They are inspired by the pictures I post of the food I make and what I keep in my kitchen, like my spices.

The community support that Instagram provides may be its most valuable asset for those hoping to achieve their health goals.

The first picture I posted was a mason jar of water with lemons, Pessah-Bloom said. I had just learned about my high blood sugar, and I wrote, Making lemonade out of lemons. The post marked the start of Pessah-Blooms new diet and exercise journey, and in her post, she encouraged others to follow and support her.

One person posted my post on her page she had over 15,000 followers, and she said, Lets give @thepalemoworkingmama our support and then all of a sudden I had 100 followers. This was someone I didnt even know someone who has plenty of her own followers, but she really wanted me to succeed on my journey.

Theres also the benefit of being part of a more intimate community. With Instagram, you can have a separate part of your profile dedicated to food journaling, and you dont have to be worried that your family member or neighbor who just wants to see pictures of your dogs or vacations will be turned off, said Christina Chung, a doctoral student at the University of Washington and lead author of a study that analyzed women who consistently use Instagram to record and share what they eat, in order to learn about the benefits and challenges of using the platform to achieve ones health goals.

Instagram is just pictures. There are no posts about politics. Its easy to navigate, with no chaos or clutter, Pessah-Bloom added. If you follow someone, youre following them for a specific reason and often someone with a similar goal.

Pessah-Bloom also appreciates the convenience that Instagram provides. People are so busy, and sometimes you cant go in person to a Weight Watchers meeting. With Instagram, its in your face. Youre seeing it all the time. When I eat something bad and I see someone preparing something wonderful, I say, Why did I do that?! It keeps you inspired!

Food pictures that create cravings for tasty, healthy food help, too. When you see something so mouthwatering and appetizing, youre more likely to try it, and then you get hooked on eating well, Pessah-Bloom said.

For those who use Instagram to track what they eat, the ease of snapping a picture is particularly helpful during a jam-packed day.

The benefit of photos is that its more fun to do than taking out a booklet or typing hundreds of words of description in an app, Chung said. Plus, its more socially appropriate for people who are trying to track their diets to snap a photo of their plate when theyre out with friends: Everyones doing it, and it doesnt look weird.

As one of the study participants noted, if I was out with friends or something, then a quick snapshot of the food would be easier than saying, Hold on, guys, I need to pull up MyFitnessPal and put everything down and the right serving size.

But just how accurate is Instagram as a tracker for weight loss? Can you really know the portion sizes, fat grams and calorie counts of what you ate or should eat when you swipe through photos?

When it comes to losing weight, food pics may or may not help, said Angela Lemond, a registered dietitian nutritionist and spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The food could be great quality, but even an excessive amount of good food will cause weight gain.

If, for example, someone spots a picture of healthy chicken parmigiana as food inspiration for weight loss, it may be difficult to figure out the correct portion size, unless it is listed.

Its not very accurate if you are looking for tracking information such as detailed nutrients, portion size and calories, since it might be difficult to assess this information from photos, Chung said.

If youre looking for a 200-calorie meal, you might search using the hashtag #200calories and find some options. But in Chungs study, participants used the platform in conjunction with other apps if they were seeking more detailed nutrition data.

Calories aside, for those who use Instagram, the visual cues that the app provides actual pictures of food may be just enough motivation to continue eating on plan, or in some cases to eat less.

Before (when using MyFitnessPal), I would have a small snack pack that was a bag of chips and be like, Oh, that doesnt really count because its just a little tiny bag. But I think with Instagram, it helped me because I was taking a picture of it: Its real, and it exists, and it does count towards what I was eating. And then putting a visual image of it up really helped me stay honest, one study participant said.

Tensions between tracking honestly and posting something perceived as more desirable were also observed in the study. That could present a dilemma, leading some to spend time on making photos look better, explained Chung. But the thought of posting something off-plan may also help people stay on track, she added.

Over a year later, Pessah-Blooms cooking skills have improved, and she is no longer pre-diabetic. Her IBS is resolved, and she weighs less than she did at her wedding about 12 years ago. Her husband, a huge Instagram fan, has lost 40 pounds with the help of the app and his wifes cooking, and her kids eat healthier now, too.

Pessah-Bloom says she could not have done it without her online community that evolved from her photo journal.

I love the people I follow on Instagram. They have become my online support group. Everyone inspires each other. I work full-time and have three kids. I couldnt have done any of this without Instagram.

There was once a time when low-fat cookies, chips, and peanut butter were considered healthy choices. Oh, how times have changed!

Ever since studies began surfacing showing that low-carb, high-fat diets can be more effective for weight loss than low-fat plans, more and more health-conscious folks have fully embraced fat. Sales ofwhole-fat milkand yogurt have soared in recent years, and most nutritionists now tell their clients to incorporate fatty foods like fish, avocado, and olive oil into their diets. The reemergence of all this creamy goodness has led to a century-old diet making a major comeback: theketogenic diet. Celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow and Mick Jagger are both rumored to have taken the plan for a test drive.

(Got 10 minutes? Then you've got time to lose the weight for good withPrevention's new 10-minute workouts and 10-minute meals. GetFit in 10: Slim and Strong for Lifenow!)

Those following the keto diet plan eat alotof fat and just a few carbohydrates. More specifically, 80% of the diet is comprised of fat, 15% is protein, and a mere 5% of calories come from carbohydrates. For someone on a 1,500-calorie diet, that translates to 19 grams of carbohydrates per day, which is less than what you find in a cup of green peas. (For some context, most peoples diets contain 55% carbohydrates, 30% fat, and 15% protein.) The idea is that if you deplete yourself of carbohydrates, the brains preferred fuel source, your body will start breaking down fat for energy. When this occurs, the body goes into a state of ketosis.

But does this really fuel weight loss or make us healthier? According to oneSpanish studyof 20 obese adults, the answer is yes. For the study, participants were put on a low-calorie keto diet and lost an average of 40 pounds over four months. Another small experiment had a similar outcome. In a six-monthExperimental & Clinical Cardiologystudy of 83 obese adults, those on the keto diet lost an average of 33 pounds, while lowering their bad (LDL) cholesterol levels and increasing their good (HDL) cholesterol.

But not all studies on the keto diet are as promising. OneAmerican Society for Clinical Nutritionstudyof 20 participants found that those on the diet didnt lose more weight than those on a non-keto diet. But they did have fouler moods and higher levels of inflammation, which has been linked to a variety of conditions, including heart disease and cancer.

Since research on the keto diet is fairly limited and inconclusive, its important to educate yourself about the potential risks before trying it. Here, five things you should know before going keto:

A woman has revealed how she managed to shed four and a half stone without dieting or going to the gym.

At 16 stone, single mother-of-two Tiffanys weight had spiralled so out of control that she persistently felt uncomfortable, miserable and even depressed, Popsugar reports.

Now, she has dramatically transformed her life by dropping to a toned 11 and a half stone, and becoming a successful social media personality.

But perhaps the most surprising part of her success is that she managed to do it all without fad diets or frittering away her cash on a gym membership.

Instead, the young mum says that it was all down to completely cutting out unhealthy food, eliminating dairy and working out from home.

I decided to 100 per cent commit to being done with 'junk food.' No more candy bars, sodas, or other things alike. I went dairy-free and gluten-free, she said.

I felt better than I have ever felt in my life. No out-of-control cravings or anything. Just content.

Her diet now consists of a large protein shake for breakfast, lean meat and veg for lunch, and a large chicken salad for dinner.

She also snacks on apples, peanut butter and carrots.

In addition, Tiffany regularly worked out at home, and while she admits she had to pause a lot in the beginning, her fitness levels gradually improved.

As well as living a healthier lifestyle, she has also enjoyed being able to buy clothes that she likes and not ones that just fit as she has plummeted from a 2XL to a size small.

Sharing her journey on Instagram, Tiffany is open and honest about her weight loss story and says that the support of her online fit family is what keeps her motivated.

People message me every single day and tell me that I'm their motivation. That they're on their weight-loss journey because I made them believe they could reach their goals.

I am setting an example for so many people, and it gives me purpose. I can't let them down. I want everyone to achieve the change of life I have been so blessed to be able to achieve.

Tiffanys advice for those about to embark on their on weight-loss journey is to not diet, eat healthily and exercise. And, while starvation diets or pills might be tempting, she insists that "solving the real problem will give you the real and permanent solution".

When you lose weight the right way, it comes off slower. Learn to be OK with that and love the process! It's a journey, not a destination.

Samsung is headed to IFA later this month, and its starting to sound like well see some new smartwatches there. Android Headlines spotted an FCC filing from Samsung showing off a Samsung Gear Sport, a thus-far nonexistent smartwatch or fitness device of some kind.

Given that its passing through the FCC right now, the device is probably almost ready to be released. Samsung used its IFA presentation to introduce a new generation of Gear smartwatches this time last year, so it makes sense that were seeing hints of that happening again this year, too.

All we really know so far is that the Gear Sport supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and probably runs Tizen, given the lack of Galaxy branding. Its not clear if itll take the shape of a smartwatch or be closer to a long fitness tracker, but the most recent Gear devices have all had identical round shapes. The last Gear-branded fitness band was released just over a year ago.

A sports-focused watch would make plenty of sense. Apple has really refocused the Apple Watch around fitness, while Samsungs Gear watches are still going for a much more fashionable look. Making a new model thats more tailored to exercise would help it better compete with Apple and could get more people interested in the product.

If Samsung does release a sports-focused watch, it wouldnt be surprising to see it introduce other styles of the devices as well. But so far, we havent seen anything on it.

Brooks Koepka is having probably the best season of his professional golf career. He has a U.S. Open win to his name, two other second-place finishes, six total top 10s and an average finish of 6th in the three major championships. He's also a trendy pick to win the 2017 PGA Championship.

Koepka, who honed his craft at the beginning of his career in Europe, has always driven the ball well, but other parts of his game (like his putting) are getting better. He credits a well-rounded game with better fitness and nutrition than he maintained in college or on the European Tour.

"Once I came back to the [United] States, I was like, 'Finally, let's do this,'" said Koepka. "'You can be in the gym every day.' And I tried to build some muscle and make sure I'm healthy."

Koepka noted that he has a chef for the majors, and though he sometimes struggles with diet, he recognizes its importance in his future.

"He cooks for me," Koepka said of his chef. "It's something I need to watch and take care of. You're trying to eat healthy. On the road, you can get kind of sloppy with it."

Koepka, who is often compared to Dustin Johnson in on-course temperament and success, also works out with D.J. off the course. They are both trained by Joey Diovisalvi ("Joey D").

"It's kind of a fun little training scenario," said Koepka. "It is [competitive] for me. I don't know about him, but it is for me. Any time we've got a leg day, he's pushing me. We're trying to push each other."

"With somebody like Brooks, you have a NFL player profile -- ability, athleticism, body type," added Diovisalvi. "You have an athlete that literally comes prepared to say, 'I'm here to work.' He asks great questions, but he never questions what we do. Great athletes do that naturally."

Koepka said he actually just started training with Joey D. before the U.S. Open, but he has already seen dividends (like, you know, winning the U.S. Open).

"I'm stronger, a lot more flexible," said Koepka. "More functional."

An enhanced Koepka is a scary thought for the future. He takes with him loads of talent into his late 20s and early 30s and could pretty easily become a multiple-time major winner before hitting his true prime. He's already forever off the tee, and as he starts owning the learning curve, it takes to win on the PGA Tour and folding in a world-class fitness routine, Koepka could establish himself alongside Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and others as one of the best players of this generation.

Fitness-center operator Planet Fitness (PLNT) jumped into buying territory Thursday, a day after lifting full-year guidance after topping second-quarter forecasts.

XAutoplay: On | OffEstimates: Earnings per share of 19 cents, up 12%, on revenue of $102 million, also up 12%.

Results:EPS of 22 cents on revenue of $107.3 million. System-wide same-store sales climbed 9%, asfranchisee-owned comps increased 9.3% and corporate-owned comps grew 4.3%.

Outlook: Full-year EPS is now seen at 76-78 cents, up from a prior view of 74-77 cents, on revenue of$409 million-$415 million, up from$405 million-$415 million. Analysts see EPS of 77 cents on revenue of $415 million. Planet Fitness sees same-store sales up 8%-9% vs. a prior view of 7%-8% growth.

Stock:Shares jumped 9% to close at 25.13 on the stock market today, clearing a 24.68 entry from a flat base.

Planet Fitness has made a name for itself by being a less-intimidating, less-judgmental place to exercise. And as malls empty and retailers shutter stores, fitness centers like Planet Fitness, which have avoided the Amazon (AMZN) threat and other retail difficulties, have been more likely to appear in their place.

But Planet Fitness's higher-end, niche rivals have grown quickly, a Wedbush research note in June said, posing a risk to the chain. However, Planet Fitness owners told Wedbush they weren't concerned with the industry trends.

"Our contacts believe that in the current environment as targeted niche chains are divvying up the high-end of the market while (Planet Fitness) goes after the less avid fitness consumer and those without gym memberships, traditional gyms are getting squeezed," the note said.

The note also said that many Planet Fitness owners and managers that Wedbush spoke with said that they believed more room for growth existed, potentially outside the Northeast, where Planet Fitness was founded. However, the people said "the best locations are increasingly fewer and farther between."

Instead of neglecting our workout (and the mood-boosting benefits that come from it), we schedule ourselves a little one-on-one workout time with YouTube. The workouts are time-flexible, accessible and expert-led. In other words, its basically a treasure trove of fitness.

A quick search unearths everything from yoga to Pilates to HIIT training routines; whatever type of sweat session you prefer, YouTube likely has it. Thats why we decided to put together a list of our favorite online fitness channels just to help you narrow your search a little bit.

YOGA WITH ADRIENE.Adriene Mishler is the light-hearted yogi behind this YouTube channel. Her yoga videos range from targeted practices for anxiety, depression, sleep and pain (like this one for neck and shoulder relief) to power flows for strengthening and lengthening. Her goofy yet calming presence is enough to make you change into comfortable clothes, drink a cup of tea and relax into a yoga routine.

CASSEY HO OF BLOGILATES.Cassey Ho has been a mainstay on the YouTube fitness scene since she started uploading Pilates videos in 2009. Her website, Blogilates, provides fitness and nutrition advice, along with body-positive inspiration and sporty merchandise.

She specializes in workouts that build and tone muscle using nothing else but your own body weight. The workouts are hard but fun. Her bubbly and outgoing personality almost makes you forget your arms are screaming in the middle of a 15-minute workout (almost). Stay dedicated to her videos, try your best, and youll see real change.

TARA STILES.Although she does have videos fit for beginners, chances are that youll love Tara Stiless yoga videos if youre an intermediate or advanced yoga devotee. Her no-frills approach is quieting, calming and strengthening for both the body and mind. (If youre not super into yoga, check her videos out anyway, because they might majorly inspire you; shes the most graceful human being weve ever seen).

JEANETTE JENKINS.Jeanette Jenkins is a celebrity personal trainer (responsible for training A-listers such as Kelly Rowland) who posts a variety of different workouts designed to increase strength. Many of her videos are extremely short think no longer than 30 seconds just so she can show a few reps of effective moves. Then, depending on how much time you have, you can make it an extended workout, or just do a few circuits. Take this Zumba video, for instance. Its solely concentrated on planks and high knees for an intense cardio sweat.

THE TONE IT UP GIRLS.Karena Dawn and Katrina Scott started their Tone It Up empire to share workout, nutrition, and even lifestyle advice. Many of their workouts take place in front of a beautiful backdrop of the Pacific ocean, so you can kind of feel like youre working out while on a SoCal vacation (better than working out at home, right?).

Theyre also regular Byrdie contributors. Check out all of their stories. (Personally, we love this piece on the 5 exercises you should do if you sit all day).

XHIT DAILY.XHIT Daily is a YouTube channel that regularly posts workout videos ranging from Crossfit to Pilates. The three hosts are incredibly knowledgeable, reminding their viewers how to correct their form and get the most from their workouts throughout.

THE RUN EXPERIENCE.Weve covered yoga, Pilates, and strength training workouts, but this one is for any runners out there. The Run Experience has almost 70,000 YouTube subscribers, to which it shares motivating running tips, tricks, and advice. They have videos on everything from hydration and nutrition to race-day prep. Regardless if youre a runner or not, they share super-effective targeted workouts that are great for doing on the go.

Take a look at the picture above. If all you see is a group of people working out, take a closer look. Did you notice the toddlers?

Kids who are kindergarten age or younger are more than welcome to hang around in this fitness class. Its the Fit-Family Boot Camp at Triple Jump Fitness in Portland, Maine. Owners Kim and Tim DeMado offer several fitness programs for adults and children.

As the mother of four, Kim knows what a struggle it can be for new parents to get back in the groove of working out but have little time and no daycare. Thats why she started the Boot Camp. When they first opened Tripe Jump Fitness in 2012, Kim, who was a competitive gymnast, would often teach a gymnastics class to three and four-year-olds while Tim coached their parent(s). But that didnt work for parents with younger children. And then Kim had an aha moment.

We started Fit-Family Boot Camp, she explained, where you can bring your infant and/or crawler or a child up to age 5 or 6. The kids are in the ball pit, theyre on the gymnastics equipment or crawling on benches and Im coaching and training.

Allison and daughter Brooke

Its been an importantpart ofmy life, said Allison McLaughlin, who has a nearly six-year-old son and a three-year-old daughter and has participated in boot camp for several years. I have to travel for work a lot so Ididnt really have any time to exercise which is always something I enjoyed doing. The Fit-Family Boot camp has allowed me to do that and gives my kids time to play and socialize. Ive also made some amazing friends.

Susan and daughter Ingrid

Boot camp is also a big part of Susan Seners life. Shes a stay at home mom with three daughters. I stopped workinglast Octoberto stay home and I really wasnt exercising at all, she told me. I go three times a week now. Its amazing. I like that we all do it together and it doesnt take up my personal time at the end or beginning of the day. My three-year-olddid Kims gymnasticsclass and thats how I discovered Fit-Family Boot Camp.

Kim said they started out with one boot camp class and soon added two more. Now shes decided to add more boot camps.Weve kind of been 9 oclock across the board, she said, but working moms and dads need a bit more flexibility. Weregoing to move into the weekends and the later afternoon and early evening for the working parent starting this fall.

I was lucky because my mother was close by and babysat so I could take a fitness class after my first baby and swimming classes after my second. Still, I would have loved a fitness class like the boot camp.

If youre the parent of young children, how do you manage to fit in fitness? Or is it always the last thing on your list?

For more information about the Fit-Family Boot Camp or other programs at Triple Jump Fitness, check out the website. Also, Kim plans to begin an online fitness program for parents who cant make it to a class, so stay tuned.

On John Baileys first day as the new president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Reebok president Matt OToole wrote himan open letter, shared via Twitter.

The message was not a congratulatory note from one head honcho to another, but instead a passionate proposal for creating a new Academy Award to honor the unsung heroes behind the silver screen: fitness trainers.

Noting that Oscars have long been given for Best Makeup and Hairstyling as well as Best Sound Mixing, OToole makes a provocative argument for celebrating the craft of fitness through the individuals who guide actors into "fighting, flying and filming shape."

FITNESS TRAINER CLAPS BACK AT BODY SHAMER BY SHARING IMPORTANT MESSAGE

These people often hail from outside the glitz of Hollywood. Theyve crafted their expertise on the playing field, in their garage gyms and even defending our country, OToole said. He added that their backgrounds have not led them down the traditional path to show business, but their skills are indispensable nonetheless, in that they propel the actors to stardom and success.

Ask any motion picture star and they will tell you, these are the people who power the scenes and stories fans love so much, he said. The best scenes and storylines today often require amazing physical transformations, and actors and actresses rely heavily on a small field of expert trainers to get them in fighting, flying and filming shape.

In a day and age when self-made fitness gurus and stars ride a wave of popularity across Instagram, Snapchat and other visual social media, OTooles proposition is certainly intriguing.

And with the 2018 Oscars months away, the Academy has ample time to decide whether or not to recognize this community in the future.

John Bailey has not yet appeared to issue a response to O'Toole.
