My journey to Miss Bikini Body: What macros are, and what they mean for your body Metro This may seem high but I was already on a high-calorie intake before starting, and I didn't need to lose loads of weight really quickly. Most importantly, it's not sensible to lose more than 1-2lbs a week. The amount has been reduced graudally, week by ...

This Women's Day, as you gear up to receive a surprise breakfast fit for a queen or a hastily ordered bouquet of flowers, spend some time on your horoscope. Not on issues that are personal or professional but on those that are nutritional. Although I'm not a soothsayer or savant, I can quite comfortably predict your nutritional future this year. Without knowing you or meeting you, I can safely predict that this year most of you will...

Feel the need to clean plates Of course, I don't mean getting down and dirty or is it clean? with soap and water but eating leftovers. Beware of this obsessive need to "prevent waste" as you eat that last half-roti or those few spoonfuls of rice just so that you're satisfied that all the food is finished. If you continue to do so, you may be looking at a possible 4-5 kilos of weight gain in a year. The math is simple: let's assume that the extra intake of leftover dinner and/or dessert adds up to about 100 extra calories per day, if you are not able to burn it off. If you do this everyday, it totals up to 36,500 unburned calories a year. It takes 3,500 calories to gain a pound of weight, which is about 10 pounds or about 4-5 kilos of weight gained in a year. Quite simply, waste makes waist. Eating to prevent wastage doesn't always guarantee weight gain. But if you are struggling to lose those last few kilos, and not realising where things are going wrong, now you do. Maybe it's time to let the leftovers be. If you cannot finish what's on your plate, it's not your problem - it's the dustbin's or the fridge's.

Eating an "inflammatory diet" as a teen may increase a woman's risk of breast cancer, a new study suggests.

Researchers studied women who, as high schoolers, had consumed diets thought to increase levels ofinflammation in the body. Results showed that these women were more likely to develop breast cancer as adults prior to menopause, compared with women who ate a different type of diet as high schoolers.

Women who consumed inflammatory diets during their 20s, 30 and 40s were also at increased risk ofbreast cancerbefore menopause.

An inflammatory diet is one that's low in vegetables and high in sugar-sweetened and diet soft drinks, refined sugars and carbohydrates, red and processed meats, and margarine, said study researcher Karin B. Michels, an epidemiology professor at the University of California, Los Angeles Fielding School of Public Health. Consuming these foods has been linked to higher levels of markers of inflammation in the body, Michels said.

"Our results suggest that a habitual diet that promotes chronic inflammation when consumed during adolescence or early adulthood may indeed increase the risk of breast cancer in younger women before menopause," Michelssaid in a statement.

Many factors affect a woman's risk of breast cancer, including her genetic predisposition to the disease, as well as other demographic and lifestyle factors. The new study suggests that an inflammatory diet may be another factor that affects women's risk of the disease, Michels said.

For the study, the researchers analyzed information from more than 45,000 female nurses who began the study when they were ages 27 to 44, and were followed for 22 years. Every four years, the women answered questions about their current diets. In addition, when they were ages 33 to 52, they were asked to complete a survey about the types of food they ate in high school.

The researchers gave each woman's diet an "inflammatory score," with higher scores indicating diets that, in previous studies, have been linked with higher levels of inflammation in the body.

Women were then divided into five groups based on the inflammatory scores for their high school diets. Those in the group with the highest score were 35 percent more likely to develop premenopausal breast cancer, compared with those in the group with the lowest score.

The researchers also performed a similar analysis using the women's inflammatory scores for their diets in adulthood (when the women were ages 27 to 44). This analysis found that those women with the highest scores were 41 percent more likely to develop premenopausal breast cancer, compared to those with the lowest scores.

The researchers did not find a link between an inflammatory diet and the risk of breast cancer after menopause.

It's important to note that the study found only an association between an inflammatory diet and the risk of breast cancer, and cannot prove that this type of diet caused the women's breast cancer. In addition, the study asked women to recall the diets they ate in high school, and some people may not have remembered their diets very well, which could affect the results, the researchers said.

The study was published March 1 in the journal Cancer Research.

Home Harvard Health Blog Sharpen your cooking skills and improve your diet (and even your social life) - Harvard Health Blog Posted March 03, 2017, 8:15 am

When I was in college, my cooking skills were limited to a giant skillet of Tuna Helper. Meals were chosen by how quick and how cheap. Nutrition? Never heard of it.

My outlook on cooking has changed since those days, and I now realize that despite my still limited culinary know-how, in the kitchen I have all the tools to transform my health.

Cooking is easier than people think, says Dr. David Eisenberg of the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. It is more fun and cheaper than eating out. And no matter your ability, anyone can learn to do it.

The more you cook for yourself, the healthier you live. It is that simple. People who frequently cook dinner at home eat healthier and consume fewer calories than those who cook less, according to a study published in the journal Public Health Nutrition. The findings also suggest those who frequently cook at home (six to seven nights a week) also consume fewer calories on the occasions when they do eat out.

Cooking also expands your intake of healthy foods. For instance, people who live alone who are less likely to cook on a regular basis often have diets that lack core food groups, such as fruits, vegetables, and fish, according to a review of 41 studies published in Nutrition Reviews.

You dont need to be a contestant on Top Chef to improve your cooking. Instead of learning individual recipes, you need to learn techniques, says Dr. Eisenberg. This way, you can master a few basic staples and have the recipe for making all kinds of meals. Here are some basic skills he says people should learn:

In-person guidance is always better than learning from videos, says Dr. Eisenberg: You need someone in the kitchen to hold your hand, give you direction, and walk you through the process. Here is where you can find that kind of guidance:

Your new and improved cooking skills can heat up your social life. You may form a closer bond with your partner as you both become more involved with meal preparation, and you may be motivated to invite others to share a meal you cooked yourself.

You also might discover cooking can be a relaxing and liberating activity. People find personal satisfaction in cooking, or come to view the experience as a way to tap into their creativity, says Dr. Eisenberg. Cooking no longer becomes a chore, but something that gives them great pleasure. And you dont even need Tuna Helper.

Mayor Ed Murrays tax would exempt diet drinks, and data show it could place a heavier burden on the people the tax is supposed to help. The tax would apply only to sugary beverages, and for a 2-liter bottle of Coke, it could add $1.35 to the cost.

Mayor Ed Murrays proposed tax on sodas exempts one kind of soft drink more typically favored by an affluent, educated and white population in Seattle and beyond: diet drinks.

The 2-cents-an-ounce tax would apply only to sugary beverages, such as regular sodas, energy and sports drinks, and bottled teas and coffee that are sweetened with sugar. For a 2-liter bottle of Coke, the tax could add $1.35 to the cost.

Money raised estimated at $16 million per year would be used to support various programs aimed at reducing disparities between white students and black and Latino students.

But this proposed tax could also place a heavier burden on the very groups its aiming to help.

Market data show significant racial and ethnic differences in patterns of consumption between sugar-laden beverages and their artificially sweetened counterparts.

When surveyed by research firm Nielsen Scarborough, 70 percent of Latinos and 66 percent of blacks in the Seattle area said theyd consumed a sugar-sweetened soft drink in the past seven days, compared with just 54 percent of whites and 56 percent of Asians. This disparity is consistent with national data.

Regular consumers of sugary drinks are also poorer and have lower levels of education, on average.

But diet drinkers have a very different demographic profile.

Asians and whites consume artificially sweetened beverages at a slightly higher rate than blacks or Latinos.

Adults who regularly drink sugar-free sodas are more likely to have a college or graduate degree, and theyre also a lot wealthier. In the Seattle area, they have a median household income more than $10,000 higher than that of folks who favor sugary drinks.

The survey data also showed the Seattle metro area ranks very low for the rate of consumption of sugary drinks 75 out of 77 markets.

According to Benton Strong, a spokesperson for the mayor, the proposed tax is intended to have a public-health benefit. Sugar-laden drinks have been identified as a major cause of obesity and type 2 diabetes, so the tax could act as a deterrent.

But if the assumption is that diet drinks are a healthier choice, the evidence increasingly suggests they are not.

Many researchers now say that drinking diet soda does not help with weight loss, and could in fact contribute to obesity and type 2 diabetes, just like regular sodas. There are more questions than answers regarding the long-term effects of consuming these artificial sweeteners, but there is enough concern for the Harvard School of Public Health to conclude: Diet soda may not be a healthy substitute for sugary soda.

In January, a soda tax similar to the one proposed for Seattle went into effect in Philadelphia the first in a major U.S. city. But there are a couple important differences.

Philadelphias tax is a little lower, at 1.5 cents per ounce, but it is also broader, applying to both sugary and diet soft drinks. The approach spreads the burden more evenly among racial and income groups.

According to Strong, the city will analyze the proposed taxs impact on racial equity before releasing the final plan.

Her mom has lost more than 300 lbs, and Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson is super proud -- but she's not looking to follow suit.

The 11-year-old fully rejects a doctor's healthy eating suggestions during the March 3 episode of "Mama June: From Not to Hot.' Dr. Michael Feiz lays out his case, but Honey Boo Boo isn't having it.

"Like, I have no idea what this man's talking about," she tells the camera. "Mama's on this diet, but I'm not, boo boo. I like my curves. ... I mean, seriously, this dude is really crazy."

Dr. Feiz recommends that the family "stay away from fried foods, stay away from high-fattening foods." The lifestyle change is a critical part of the weight-loss process for Mama June Shannon, who underwent gastric bypass surgery in addition to adding diet and exercise to her daily routine.

But Thompson is unenthusiastic, rebutting, "I'm not jumping on any bandwagon, unless it has cheeseburgers and stuff."

A 2015 People story revealed that at age 9, Thompson was 125 lbs. The average weight for a child that age is 63 lbs.

It's possible that down the road, Thompson will take her mom's advice, which she relayed to In Touch earlier this year: "I'd tell people who are struggling with weight, just take it one day at a time. You can't just give up because it seems like the easy way to go. Trust me, I wanted to give up several times throughout this journey."

He's beefing up big time for his upcoming match against Kevin Owens.

Photo: Getty Images

In an interview with GQ, professional wrestlinglegend Bill Goldberg revealed just how much food he's been packing down to prepare for his WWE Fastlane match against Kevin Owens this Sunday, andho-ly shit.

The 50-year-old fitness freak told the mag that he's always had a fast metabolism, and because he hasn't stepped into the WWE's ring since Armageddon 2003, he had just six weeks after signing his contract to make up for 12 years of losing weight.

Fox Sports pulled all of the mentions of food to show his daily meal regimen. Check it out below:

The first breakfast I had today, I had six servings of oatmeal, 20 blueberries, and a couple tablespoons of honey on it. Then I trained.

Afterwards, I had twelve eggs with two yolks, six pieces of bacon, four pieces of gluten-free toast with avocado. Then a shake.

After that I had two gluten-free pizzas with loads and loads of hamburger meat for protein on top of it. Then another shake.

My son and I are about to go to Muay Thai, but on the way were going to have some pho. Some soup and noodles, some shrimp.

Then Ill do some training at Muay Thai and on the way home well get some pho again for dinner, because the wife hasnt eaten it yet today.

Then Ill do the family thing, and then Ill eat again. I dont know what Ill have this evening. Probably I dont know. I do this meal service called Regiment Meals, and theyve helped me out tremendously because one of the biggest issues is food preparation.

Tonight, Ill probably do some beef tips and sweet potato fries and an avocado and probably another shake. Then Ill go workout again, and Ill have another shake after that, and Ill do my cheat, which is popcorn.

He claims his food intake at least doubled following the deal, and for his sake we hope that's true, becauseeating just half this amount of food would be a ridiculous feat.

While it's not quite as crazy as the literal ten pounds of food GOT's "The Mountain" shovels into his mouth, we still don't recommend trying to take on this Herculean amount of sustenance at home.

How can an eating pattern that came about decades ago in the rural areas of the Mediterranean possibly be the diet of the future? Well, today it is no secret that the Mediterranean diet is the gold standard of diets. Not only because it has years of research supporting it, but also because it is an eating pattern that tastes really good. The new, updated U.S. Nutrition Guidelines recommended it as a healthy eating pattern, a few days ago a report by prominent physicians and researchers also recommended the Mediterranean diet as the ideal diet for prevention of cardiovascular disease. The diet is the most researched diet that exists and is also considered a sustainable diet. The Mediterranean diet has been presented as a model and example for a sustainable diet by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

But somehow, even though we know this diet is good for our health, taste buds and the environment, people are not following it as would be expected. And even more so in Mediterranean countries such Italy, Spain and Greece where the diet originated. Why and what can be done about this? This is the question that a group of highly esteemed experts from around the globe gathered to answer. And what better place to discuss the renaissance of the Mediterranean diet than the Vatican?

The Food Values Conference "The Renaissance of the Mediterranean diet and significance for a 21st century world" took place in the Casina Pio IV inside the Vatican City, presented with the gracious hospitality of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. Conference speakers and guests included individuals from different backgrounds including researchers, media, health professionals and culinary professionals to look at the importance of the Mediterranean diet in the 21st century and the value we place on food.

The stage was set by Dr. David L. Katz director of the Prevention Center at Yale University and president of The True Health Initiative, who stressed the importance of prevention indicating that surveys have shown that 80% of premature deaths are due to diet, smoking and lack of physical activity. But he also discussed the problems with adherence to a healthy diet, adding that knowledge is not power when it comes to diet. Dr. Francesco So from the University of Florence and co-organizer of the conference discussed the importance of adherence, providing information to the public in the right way that resonates, but also learning from the past and identifying what is Mediterranean and what is not. Dr. Antonia Trichopoulou, professor and chairman of the Hellenic Health Foundation described what the traditional Mediterranean diet was, a diet that manifested through festivals and celebrations and the fact that it is not just a diet but a lifestyle. She stressed the need for greater exposure of the Mediterranean diet at a younger age, as today more and more young people particularly from the Mediterranean region are not following the diet of their forefathers.

Greg Drescher, vice president of strategic initiatives and industry leadership at The Culinary Institute of America stressed that in order to achieve a renaissance of the Mediterranean diet there needs to be more excellence in the growing, processing and preparation of the plant based core. Sara Baer-Sinnott, director of the non-profit organization Oldways, which created the first Mediterranean diet pyramid, pointed out that top consumer trends for 2017 include authenticity and healthy living, making this conference and the Mediterranean diet a timely discussion. She talked about common misconceptions of the diet providing evidence that it is affordable, but also easy to follow. The final presenter Simon Poole, physician, author and co-organizer of the conference said that it is necessary to look back to the value we place in our diet, redefining our relationship with the food which in turn will result in a reduction of chronic disease in the population. In closing, he presented three urgent issues that need to be addressed:

1. Government. Policy Makers must consider the nutritional, cultural, social and contextual value of food in respect to all policies, legislating to actively promote a more sustainable and healthy environment.

2. Education. Food Illiteracy is endemic in many parts of the world and education is key to improving skills in preparing food and ensuring a better understanding of its value and its role in health and well-being.

3. Industry. Those making a profit from producing food must have a greater regard to their responsibility of the impact of their products and marketing on the health of consumers.

A poor diet while young may do more than just make it tough to fit into a pair of jeans: New research suggests it might also raise a younger woman's risk for breast cancer.

"A diet high in sugar, refined carbohydrates, and red and processed meat makes it more likely that you may experience early onset breast cancer," said study senior author Karin Michels. She is chair of epidemiology at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, in Los Angeles.

An unhealthy diet appeared to increase that risk by more than one-third, but the findings can't prove cause-and-effect, Michels said. "We are talking about a link or association," she noted.

The study tracked data from more than 45,000 women enrolled in the Nurses' Health Study II. All of the women completed food frequency questionnaires about their teen and early adult diets, and were followed up for 22 years.

The researchers assigned the diets an inflammatory score, based on a method that links diet with established inflammatory markers in the blood. Eating a high-sugar, refined carbohydrate diet has been linked to higher levels of inflammatory markers in the blood, Michels explained.

Compared to the women with diets with a low inflammatory score, those in the highest of five groups during their teen years had a 35 percent higher risk of breast cancer before menopause, Michels and colleagues found.

And those in the highest inflammatory group during their early adult years had a 41 percent higher risk.

However, the inflammatory score was not linked with overall breast cancer incidence or with breast cancer occurring after menopause, the researchers found.

During the follow-up period, 870 of the women who finished the high school diet questionnaire were diagnosed with premenopausal breast cancer, and 490 were diagnosed with postmenopausal breast cancer.

The researchers can't explain why inflammation may drive up the risk. And while the main components of the inflammatory diet were foods that aren't surprising (such as white bread, hamburgers and pasta), the list also included lesser amounts of certain vegetables, such as celery, green pepper, mushrooms, eggplant and fish.

That finding deserves future study, Michels said.

The study also has limitations, the authors said, including the possibility of error in remembering a high school diet when the women were in their 30s and older.

Leslie Bernstein is a professor in the division of biomarkers for early detection and prevention at the Beckman Research Institute at the City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center in Duarte, Calif. She was not involved in the study but reviewed the new findings and said, "It's a modest increase in risk."

Bernstein agreed that the mechanism for why inflammation may drive up risk is not fully understood by experts.

What advice would she offer women?

"Same thing I would tell them before this was written," Bernstein said. "Eat a diet that is healthy -- more chicken and fish than red meat, complex carbohydrates, eat a lot of vegetables, eat fruit and don't drink sugary drinks.''

The study was published March 1 in the journalCancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.
