Representatives of Russias flag-carrying airline Aeroflot are firmly backing a new policy which states that not only should female flight attendants be thin, but that they should also face penalties if they are deemed overweight.

The issue came to light after two flight attendants, Evgeniya V. Magurina and Irina N. Ierusalimskaya, filed two separate lawsuits over a 2016 decision to enforce weight guidelines for those working in the airlines cabins.

According to New York Magazine, Aeroflots policy states that female cabin crew members need to remain under a size 48 (size 14 in the U.S.), however men are allowed to remain a bit larger.

We have had our salary lowered due to our clothing size. We are allowed to fly, but our salary is lowered, said Magurina.

Flight Attendant Survives Fall From 33,000 Feet

Both women lost their initial individual lawsuits, though they each announced they plan to appeal. However, economist Nikita A. Krichevskiy and journalist Pavel V. Danilin, members of the Aeroflot Public Council who are not paid spokespeople, said they have no plans to back down on the new guidelines.

I dont understand why the requirement of wearing size 42-48 is considered so unworkable, Krichevskiy said in a press conference. I myself used to weigh 103kg, and now I weigh 80kg. I just corrected my eating habits and lost weight. I dont understand why the request to be a particular size is unrealistic.

Krichevskiy and Danilin additionally noted that since Aeroflot was striving to join the ranks of the top 10 airlines in the world, the appearance of the cabin staff was of the utmost importance because customers allegedly prefer pretty flight attendants, The New York Times reported. They also claimed that heavier flight attendants could present a danger in an emergency situation.

All the Places You Don't Want to Touch on a Plane, According to Flight Attendants

For its part, Aeroflot quickly attempted to distance itself from the court hearings and Krichevskiy and P. Danilins remarks. The airline issued a statement noting that the opinions of its unpaid council members do not necessarily represent the views of Aeroflot.

N. Krichevskiy and P. Danilin were expressing their personal opinions. They are public figures and on their own initiative expressed the desire to take part in todays press conference, the statement read. Aeroflots position was set out in the Court, which rejected the claims brought by Magurina and Ierusalimskaya against Aeroflot.

Though no U.S.-based carriers require flight attendants to adhere to weight limits, they do request that flight attendants always appear at their best. As CabinCrewHQ.com reported, American Airlines, the largest airline fleet in the world, states that flight attendants must present a professional image at all times, which includes no visible tattoos, piercings, and no extreme hair colors.

Katie Price is keen to lose weight after stripping naked for Loose Women.

The mother-of-five is in incredible shape and currently wears size-eight clothes, but she insisted to Digital Spy that her figure isn't quite trim enough.

"I want to get back into my size-six jeans," she explained. "Even if you are naturally slim, or even if you're bigger, you know when you've put on a bit of weight."

Katie and the Loose Women team recently stripped off for a "secret" new segment of the show called Body Stories, which is described as "a campaign to prove every body tells a story".

Despite not being entirely satisfied with her weight at the minute, Katie explained that she was happy to strip off for the shoot.

"I'm not bothered I don't think I'm in bad nick for someone that's 38 with five kids," she added. "I like that I look like my pictures. So many people airbrush their pics so much these days that when you meet them, you don't recognise them."

Katie has made no secret over the years that she sometimes suffers with bloating.

So when rumours spread that she's pregnant with baby number six, when in fact she's just bloated, she finds it pretty embarrassing.

ITV

And although she can take most negative comments with a pinch of salt, this one is a low blow for her.

"It really pisses me off actually," she continued. "I've had five kids, of course I am going to look bloated sometimes it's my muscles. I try not to worry about it but if I look slim, then I'm too thin, and if I'm bloated, then I must be pregnant. I can't win!"

However, after struggling for years, Katie believes she's now found a solution to bloating in the form of specially-formulated shakes. And she's so happy with the results that she's decided to sell them as part of her latest business venture 'Katie Price Nutrition'.

Opening up about her new range of shakes, she said: "I tried these before I last went on holiday. I was on them for two weeks and they were amazing. My bloating went and my belly was so much flatter. I also found I had more energy.

ITV

"You know what I'm like, I won't bring something out unless it works, otherwise I'll get slated for it. Honestly, these actually work.

"I'm such a busy person, I just don't have the time to exercise or go to the gym. But with these products, you can lose weight without doing any exercise at all. I'm going on them again now so I can fit back into my old jeans."

We're looking forward to seeing the results and how quickly the shakes work their magic. But until then, we had to ask Katie about rumours she wants to launch an after-watershed version of Loose Women.

Confirming she's up for it, the star told us: "That would be so amazing, wouldn't it? It would be real banter. I could be really let loose!"

Professional athletes dont get to the top by accident. It takes superhuman levels of time, dedication, and focusand that includes paying attention to what they put in their bellies. In this series, GQ takes a look at what pro athletes in different sports eat on a daily basis to perform at their best. Heres a look at the daily diet of Olympic gold medalist swimmer Ryan Murphy.

Here are the two most frequent thoughts that go through your mind when watching Olympic swimmers: Wow, they are fast and Wow, they have good absand not necessarily in that order. And with Aquaman Michael Phelps having officially retired with a mere twenty-eight medals, U.S.A. Swimming is going to need to find a newest set of fastest abs in the water. Ryan Murphy may just be that man. The 21-year-old went 3-for-3 in gold medals in Rio last summer, in the 100-meter and 200-meter backstroke and in the 4x100-meter medley relay (in which he set a world record for fastest 100-meter backstroke split in the process). He also just finished collegewinning the 100- and 200-meter backstroke national titles, the Pac-12 Swimmer of the Year, and the Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year, all at Cal. Needless to say, he was not on the typical undergrad's Oreos and Easy Mac diet.

GQ: Youve been swimming since you were 4. How do you not get burnt out? Ryan Murphy: Until I was 12, I did football, baseball, soccer, and swimming. And thats the time when traveling baseball, traveling soccer, tackle football were all starting. I decided on swimming because theres always something to improve on: recovery, nutrition, sleep, strength, endurance, technique. Its almost like this little game. Youre striving for perfection in a sport that its not possible to reach perfection in. Its almost like an addiction, trying to be the best you can.

And whats your first meal every day? On days I do doubles, Ill wake up at like 5:20. Ill have a PowerBar and a banana before practice. After practice, Ill come back or go to the dining hall and have some eggs, spinach, some fruit, usually some oatmeal, maybe some Greek yogurt with granola and fruit.

You eat all of that? Sometimes Ill just make eggs and the granola, or eggs and the oatmeal. Usually I switch off between those two. And then, through my day, Ill usually have trail mix or something with me. Ill have a little sandwich for lunch. And then, after [the second] practicethis is something I got into a lot before the Olympics, not so much now because it kind of tastes badI make a smoothie and put it in the fridge. I buy raw beets from Whole Foods, chop that up. Put in the beet leaves, a stalk of kale, some spinach, some berries, some dry oats with some soy milk, and Id put in a sweet juicea splash of orange or cherry juice. And if I was pretty hungry, or I felt like I didnt have enough fat in my diet for the day, Id put in some almond butter. I scoff that down right after practice, just to make sure Im immediately getting nutrients.

And for dinner? I usually have a whole mash of stuff. Ill make pasta with tomato sauce, turkey, cut up some onions, throw some peppers in there, boil down some spinach and throw that in. That has everything that you really need in it.

Do you track calories? A little bit. I actually gain weight pretty easily for a swimmer. I would say Im probably around 4,000-5,000 calories a day. So [its] not like these crazy, 12,000-calorie diets. If Im eating chocolate chip pancakes in the morning, Im probably going to gain some weight. So I try to stay away from stuff like that. And super fatty foods I try to stay away from. I figure that way Ill stay decently lean.

What was the hardest thing to cut out? I mean, youre in college! Thats when youre supposed to eat whatever you want. I have a terrible sweet tooth. Im a big sucker for those Brookside Dark Chocolate Covered Acai and Blueberries. Im a big ice cream guy. Chocolate. I love those Trolli Eggs. Like once a week, I try to let myself have frozen yogurt or something like that. Because I think if I was just totally locked down on my diet all the time, Id probably go insane. So I think its good for me to have that one day to look forward to, like, All right. I can get through today because tomorrow Im going to have a dessert.

After you were done in Rio, did you congratulate yourself with whatever you wanted to eat? The line at McDonald's was always terrible, so I didnt actually go to McDonald's, but I just went to the dessert section in the dining hall, and my dinner after the last relay consisted of chocolate cake and the little ice cream bars and stuff like that. I just binged dessert for two weeks. I gained eight pounds.

Swimming has always struck me as one of the most painful sports. When you hit the 115-meter mark in a 200-meter backstroke, youre just over halfway and your legs are starting to hurt. But you train for being uncomfortable. So you can push through that and it just hurts. But by the time you reach 175 meters of a 200 back, hard to pick up your legs. Your legs just feel like theyre not moving anymore, these big bodies of mass just floating behind you and weighing you down, and you have to find a way. The last 25 is like, Ugh! Get. To. The. Wall. Im trying to look around, see where people are and use my competitiveness to get there. But its insane. Your legs just dont work. If you watch my reaction after the 200 back [in Rio], I physically couldnt celebrate. I was so pumped to have won, but I couldnt even lift my arm because I was so tired. So I just hung on my line and died for a little bit.

How much did your diet play into your success there? Eating right was huge for me this past year, probably the first year that I really took diet seriously. I cook most of my meals for myself, so it was easy to track how much oil I was using, what type of ingredients I was buying, and make sure that everything was prepared as healthy as possible. Essentially, I didnt have a bad practice for three months in a row, just because I felt like I was doing everything right.

How many hours of sleep do you get a night? I usually try to shoot for at least eight. Last year, we trained four mornings a week, and then two afternoons a week. So on the afternoons days, I was probably hitting ten hours, and on the mornings, I was making sure I was hitting eight. And I took a lot of naps.

When are you training? On doubles day, it will be 6:00 to 8:00 A.M., and 1:00 to 3:30 P.M. So mornings are all swim. Afternoons, well do an hour of weight, then stretch for fifteen minutes, then come down to the pool. And those are usually more speed-oriented. Those days are brutal. Theres only five hours between practices, so youre still pretty tired going into that second practice.

And how do you suggest we get swimmers abs? We do a lot of abs, probably at least ten minutes a day. You want to make sure you dont have an arch in your back, so really working on the lower abs, so you can kind of shift your hips forward in the water. We do L-raises. You have to make sure your lower back is on the ground the entire time. If you arch your back and thrust, you can get your legs up, but controlling it is key. We usually do 20 at a time. A lot of plank holds, too, so plank on your stomach, plank on your side, you get the obliques. And then we do lower-back training, too, just to make sure all the stabilization muscles are working well. You gotta look good to rock a Speedo.

What other exercising are you doing in the gym? Well do weightlifting. And if were doing heavy squats, well combine it with box jumps. Because, in our sport, the races are less than two minutes most of the time, so you still have to have those fast-twitch muscles, so we dont really lose track of that when were in the weight room. And then well do medicine balls, abs, the typical pull-ups, push-ups.

And what about recovery? Massage. Ice tubs. Ill do cupping, depending on the time of season and how much time I have before my next race. It has to be pretty targeted. You have to know your body for that to be effective. It works pretty well in conjunction with other stuff, like stretching and lacrosse balling, making sure that youre working out the muscles after you get cupped. Because that just brings blood to the surface, so you gotta make sure you find a way to work that out still.

How often are you working out? We go six days a week. We have Sunday off. Im usually so tired by that point, I just sink into my couch, watch some football.

Women are expert multi-taskers, so it should come as no surprise that some manage to squeeze the latest health craze into their daily routine. However, not having time to carefully research the pros and cons of these trends could be dangerous. Take for example, the decision to live diary-free.

Dairy-free diets have turned into a familiar fad in the United States. Onesurveyby the National Osteoporosis Society found that 1/5 of young adults under age 25 have removed or trimmed their dairy intake.Over halfof these young adults claim to have a dairy intolerance, but only 24 percent have actually confirmed it with a doctor.

AVOID TRANS FATS IN FOOD AT ALL COSTS

The society raised concerns about this trend. While young adults have the ability to bounce back from unhealthy habits, their overall nutrition sets the groundwork for their health later in life. During their early 20s, a young adults firm groundwork of healthy bones is of utmost importance.

The societys big concern deals with the amount of calcium that most people get from dairy every day. Both men and women who cut out dairy risk becoming deficient in calcium, leading to other health problems. Anyone adhering to a dairy-free diet, especially women, should ensure that theyre getting major nutrients like calcium from other sources.

Calcium

While calcium can come from some plant sources, women need to monitor their intake if they choose to eliminate dairy. A cup of milk contains about 300 milligrams of calcium, nearly 1/3 of a young womans daily recommended amount. Those who cut out dairy will need an abundance of plant sources to make up this same calcium level.

PREVENTING AND MANAGING CHILDHOOD OBESITY

Again, women on a dairy-free diet risk not getting enough calcium on a daily basis. Thiscalcium deficiencygreatly increases the risk of bone loss and osteoporosis in women.

According to the International Osteoporosis Foundation, osteoporosis affects over200 million womenacross the globe, and the foundation expects this number to increase over 200 percent during the next 30 years.

Needless to say, women eating little or no dairy must make up for the essential calcium with other foods and vitamins. They should consult a doctor about their diet change and recommended vitamin dosage to ensure safety.

Vitamin D

Another factor of dairy-free diets that women should understand is the risk of vitamin D deficiency. Currently, as many as50 percentof people seen in doctors offices have a deficiency already. This incidence will only increase as more people adopt dairy-free diets.

Vitamin D comes fortified in most dairy milk brands but does not occur naturally in many foods. People must get the recommended amount through fortified foods, vitamin supplements, and sunshine.

Every person needs sufficient vitamin D in order to properly absorb calcium. For women, however, recent studies show that the vitamin helps in another way. Onestudyfrom the University of Massachusetts found that women who experienced the worst pre-menstrual symptoms had the lowest levels of vitamin D and calcium.

LOSE WEIGHT NATURALLY WITH THESE FOUR EASY REMEDIES

In addition, one small Italian study gave women supplements about five days before their expected periods. After a few months of taking the vitamins, these women had lessened PMS by over 40 percent in contrast to those not taking vitamin D.

For young and middle-aged women, one cup of fortified milk contains around half of their total daily recommended vitamin D. Other high sources of the vitamin include fish and eggs. If these women choose dairy-free diets and happen to dislike fish, they will need vitamin supplements and outdoor sunshine to get the levels they need in a day.

Simply put, women benefit from the major nutrients and vitamins packed within dairy products. Women considering a dairy-free diet must understand the risks to their health, especially deficiencies in calcium and vitamin D. Before cutting out this healthful food group, women should consider eating a well-rounded diet instead. Then, they can gain all the benefits of both dairy and non-dairy foods that contain calcium and vitamin D.

Athens, Ga. - High-fat foods are often the primary target when fighting obesity, but sugar-laden "diet" foods could be contributing to unwanted weight gain as well, according to a new study from the University of Georgia.

Researchers found that rats fed a diet high in sugar but low in fat-meant to imitate many popular diet foods-increased body fat mass when compared to rats fed a balanced rodent diet. The high-sugar diet induced a host of other problems, including liver damage and brain inflammation.

"Most so-called diet products containing low or no fat have an increased amount of sugar and are camouflaged under fancy names, giving the impression that they are healthy, but the reality is that those foods may damage the liver and lead to obesity as well," said the study's principal investigator, Krzysztof Czaja, an associate professor of veterinary biosciences and diagnostic imaging in UGA's College of Veterinary Medicine.

"What's really troubling in our findings is that the rats consuming high-sugar, low-fat diets didn't consume significantly more calories than the rats fed a balanced diet," Czaja said. "Our research shows that in rats fed a low-fat, high-sugar diet, the efficiency of generating body fat is more than twice as high-in other words, rats consuming low-fat high-sugar diets need less than half the number of calories to generate the same amount of body fat."

Over a four-week period, researchers monitored body weight, caloric intake, body composition and fecal samples in three groups of rats. One group of test subjects consumed a diet high in fat and sugar, another group was fed a low-fat, high-sugar diet and a third group was given a balanced or "normal" diet.

Both the low-fat, high-sugar and high-fat, high-sugar groups displayed an increase in liver fat and significant increases in body weight and body fat when compared to the balanced diet group. Liver fat accumulation was significant in the high-sugar, low-fat group, which Czaja said "is a very dangerous situation, because the liver accumulating more fat mimics the effect of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease."

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is caused by fat buildup in the liver, and serious forms of the disease can result in liver damage comparable to that caused by heavy alcohol use.

The unbalanced diets also induced chronic inflammation in the intestinal tract and brain. Former studies in rats conducted by Czaja have shown that brain inflammation alters gut-brain communication by damaging the vagus nerve, which controls sensory signals, including the brain's ability to determine when one is full.

"The brain changes resulting from these unbalanced diets seem to be long term, and it is still not known if they are reversible by balanced diets," Czaja said.

This study expands upon the researchers' previous work that determined high-fat diets alter the gut microbiome, the collection of bacteria, viruses and other microbes that live in the digestive tract. The recent study found that the unbalanced diets decreased the microbiome's bacterial diversity, and the low-fat, high-sugar diet increased gut bacteria that are associated with liver damage.

The study was published online in the journal Physiology and Behavior and is available at http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0031938416309489. Co-author Claire de La Serre, an assistant professor of foods and nutrition in UGA's College of Family and Consumer Sciences, conducted metabolic analysis for the study.

Dr. Richard Folwell, YourNews contributor 9:47 a.m. ET April 26, 2017

Richard Folwell, DO, bariatric and general surgeon(Photo: submitted)

STUART As a surgeon, I have always appreciated the long-term relationships I have developed with my bariatric patients. I have the opportunity to witness some incredible personal transformations as patients not only lose significant weight, but also make changes in their lifestyle.

The Center for Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery at Martin Health is pleased to offer a nonsurgical weight loss option the ORBERAIntragastric Balloon. ORBERA was designed to help fight obesity and treat patients before their disease progresses and requires more invasive treatments.

The beauty of this procedure is that there is no incision, no scars and few side effects. To be eligible, patients must have a body mass index of 30-40. (Go to http://www.cdc.gov/bmi for an online BMI calculator.)

This procedure is performed in an endoscopy setting while the patient is under a mild sedative. The thin, deflated ORBERA balloon is placed into the patients stomach and then filled with saline until it is approximately the size of a grapefruit. In most cases, the procedure takes 20 to 30 minutes and the patient goes home the same day.

The balloon makes contact with nerve endings in your stomach to give the sense of feeling full. Overweight patients are better able to control their eating while making healthy changes in their eating habits.

The ORBERA balloon is deflated and removed six months later through a second, nonsurgical procedure.

In order to be successful, patients need to stay on our bariatric program for another six months following the balloons removal. We offer a comprehensive program to support the patient. This includes a psychological evaluation, consults with a dietitian, and monthly and one-year follow-ups.

The education and support we provide is critical to achieving long-term success. By taking part in our program, patients receive the information and encouragement they need to make personal changes related to nutrition, behavior and physical activity. We know that the more consistent the follow-up, the more significant the weight loss.

Just about every morning, Justin Woolverton wakes up to a big bowl of ice cream. Lately it's been oatmeal cookie, but really, any pint in his freezer will do. As the founder of Halo Top Creamery, his obsession makes sense: He's so willing to stand behind the product that he'll eat it on the daily.

What surprised him, though, was when he realized there were people even more hardcore than he is. Namely, an intrepid GQ reporter who decided to take elimination diets to the next level, eating nothing but Halo Top Woolverton's low-calorie, low-carb, high-protein ice cream for 10 days straight. Not long after GQ published the feature, Halo Top's notoriety, and revenue, went through the roof (2016 sales were up a whopping 2,500 percent over 2015, according to Adweek), and it's inspired others to test out eating the lightened-up ice cream themselves, much to their nutritionists' chagrin. Here's what went down:

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

The Subjects: Yahoo editors Summer, Alex, Mia, and Kelli

Their Tactic: Eat five pints a day, averaging about 1,400 calories per day

What Happened: Only one person didn't cheat during the 72-hour timespan, breaking the diet to eat something other than Halo Top

The Bottom Line: "I have to say that [Halo Top] actually has fairly good quality ingredients, if you're going to go for a light version [of ice cream]," nutritionist Keri Glassman told Yahoo. "Even though some people might lose weight, because it could be a lot less calories than they're consuming normally, it's not a good idea. It's not sustainable, it's not healthy, and the person might even probably feel sick after."

Total Weight Lost: 8 pounds combined (so, about 2 pounds per person)

Get the full scoop on their highs (and popcorn-sneaking lows) here.

The Subject: Spoon University reporter Meredith Davin

Her Tactic: Eat between 1,240 to 1,280 calories of Halo Top, with 120 grams of protein, per day

What Happened: At first, Davin "could hardly contain [her] excitement," she said, but as you might expect, an ice cream-only diet started to wear on her mid-week. In five days, she went through 25 pints of ice cream.

The Bottom Line: Davin doesn't recommend eating only ice cream, instead suggesting a balanced diet and regular exercise. "Even after my experiment, I will undoubtedly eat this low-calorie ice cream again," she wrote.

Total Weight Lost: 1.4 pounds

Get the full scoop on her experience here.

The Subject: GQ journalist Shane Snow (AKA the reporter who started it all, back in January 2016)

His Tactic: Eat five pints a day, aiming for 120 grams of protein, 80 grams of carbohydrates and 60 grams of fat

What Happened: Snow's friend, a ripped fitness trainer, admitted to eating a pint of Halo Top each night, which inspired the writer to embark on what he called a week-and-a-half-long brain freeze. You know, for science.

By Day 5, a coworker compared him to Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant, as he shivered through another pint of ice cream while wearing a wool poncho to stay warm.

The Bottom Line: Snow craved anything savory even cartoon burgers in subway ads and celebrated breaking his diet with the opposite of a cheat meal: spinach and eggs.

Total Weight Lost: 9.9 pounds
