Tips to get fit in the New Year - "Just get started"

Personal trainer Matt Pagano says setting realistic goals and persevering are keys to success.

Were coming up on that time of year when holiday indulgences give way to annual fitness resolutions, many of which fizzle due to impatience and unrealistic expectations, local health experts say.

We do see a lot of people all year round looking to get healthier, but theres still that stereotypical new year, new me attitude, said Lauren Nichols, a registered dietician with Hartford HealthCare. People put a lot of pressure on themselves to make a lot of changes all at once. That doesnt really stick.

She said an individual embarking on a new healthy lifestyle plan should first ask themselves why they want a change.

Is it to lose weight because theyre uncomfortable and want to feel better? she asked. Or is it to look like someone else and somehow think losing weight will make everything about their life better which arent really the right reasons.

Nichols said people achieve higher and more long-lasting nutritional success by taking an incremental approach to eating and exercise.

Focus on adding more fruits and vegetables to a meal and pay attention to your hunger cues instead of jumping into a diet, a word that carried a lot of tension, she said. Food is morally neutral. Theres no good or bad food. It all does something. Some have more vitamins or fiber and others give you quick energy and taste good. Its about finding a balance in eating that becomes a habit and lifestyle.

Though everybodys metabolism and baseline health is different, Nichols said a typical meal should consist of a quarter each of proteins animal-based or beans or tofu and whole grains, like wild rice or mashed potatoes, the kinds of foods that instill a feeling of fullness. The other half should be taken up by vegetables and fruits, resulting in a good balance of carbohydrates, protein and fat.

But remember to be gentle with yourself, Nichols said. Dont skip meals because you might be going to a big gathering later in the day. Youll just go there super hungry. Listen to your body and try to figure out if youre eating because youre truly hungry or its a habit because there are a lot of other people around you eating.

Nichols also suggested switching the focus away from calories to ingredients.

Counting calories can be tedious and difficult to maintain, she said. And when they dont see results right away, people throw their hands up in the air in frustration. Its those small changes, like throwing in an extra handful of vegetables into a salad or putting some chopped tomatoes into your scrambled eggs, that helps. Its about adding and not taking away.

Usually, a new weight-loss regime includes vows to exercise more, resolutions that historically translate to a jump in first-time gym memberships.

But without some basic planning, those new members tend to drift away before the spring crocuses emerge, said Jolene Bowers, owner of the Summit Fitness and Sports gym in Norwich.

The first quarter of the year is the best quarter for all gyms they race through the doors, she said. But if we dont do our best to retain them, we lose 60% of those new members within 90 days.

Bowers said the same statistics apply to those beginning an at-home fitness plan.

Those treadmills end up being coat-racks very quickly, she said. We want people to be realistic and understand up front this is a lifestyle change that takes time. We dont scare them by telling them they need to be here seven days a week thats not realistic. And it takes up to three months for them to really see results and see their energy increase.

Alexa Helwig, a personal trainer and nutritional coach at Summit, spends much of her days working with clients from every point on the fitness spectrum.

Theres not a quick fix to achieving fitness, she said. You cant just cut carbs for two weeks and expect to keep any results. It needs to be lifestyle and habit changes.

Helwig, a self-described goof-ball in the gym, said making new clients comfortable is a crucial step.

That helps offset any awkward feelings or lack of self-confidence, she said. Ill usually work with them in the back functional area and work to find realistic fitness goals. If someone says they want to lose 50 pounds in a short amount of time, I might encourage them extend that timeline."

Helwig says fitness newbies should avoid the numbers trap.

The scale isnt a realistic indicator of health, she said. Muscle weighs more than fat, so a persons weight means nothing. A better indicator is checking if their clothes feel better on them or have them take progress photos.

Helwig said she recommends a three-times-per-week workout that includes a combination of weights and steps. She said the weight work gives that toned look that simple weight loss doesnt provide.

Helwig warned new gym-goers to concentrate on improving their own bodies rather than striving for an unrealistic ideal. She said Instagram and other media representations, with their professional lighting and unnatural poses, can be wildly deceiving.

You want to look like you and to do that, start slow and create those workout habits, she said. I try to make the experience fun and tell clients to focus on being 1% better tomorrow than today.

For three months, I restricted and restricted food, exercised every day (Picture: Rose Stokes)

One cold and dreary day during thewinter lockdown, I mentioned offhand to a GP that within the next year or so, my partner and I would be trying for a baby.

Oh youd better try to lose some weight before you do, they told me, mentioning fertility issues in higher BMI women.

When I put down the phone, I was immediately filled with a familiar sense of dread. Not because a medical professional had told me to lose weight no, that has been part of the routine script of every doctors appointment Ive had since I was 18, even when I was five stone lighter. But because my body had been positioned as the obstacle standing in my way if I wanted to fulfil my lifelong dream of becoming a mum.

The body that I have spent my life battling because it wont be or stay as small as the ones I see in magazines had now betrayed me in the ultimate way.

And so, I did what most people trapped within diet culture do and I downloaded an app (a diet I previously used in 2017 and lost a significant amount of weight with).

Immediately, I began tracking everything just as I had done before and upping my exercise. I would do everything in my power to lose weight because this is what I had been told to do by the medical establishment.

For three months, I restricted and restricted food, exercised every day I did everything the way the app advised.

Every Friday morning though, when I put myself on the scales, I burst into tears. Because despite all of my effort, feeling hungry, pushing myself out to exercise in the freezing cold and dark and resisting every urge to binge (something Ive struggled with in the past), the number on the scale simply would not budge.

Every week I hoped. And every week I would quickly become inconsolable, crying all day and pouring scorn on my body. I did everything Id done before, so why wasnt it working?

Eventually, my highly concerned partner stepped in and asked me to stop. Watching me hurt myself like this week in, week out was simply too upsetting. He wanted us to focus instead on more positive and constructive efforts and so suggested we contact a nutritionist.

From the very first appointment, my nutritionist was very clear that the most serious problem I was suffering from was not being overweight, but the amount of stress I was putting on myself. She suggested that the intense pressure I was putting my body under against a backdrop of lockdowns and coronavirus terror meant I was living in a constant state of fight or flight.

She explained that when the body is stressed and cortisol is high, it clings onto weight, which may be why I was experiencing an issue losing it. But she also reassured me that the most important thing for my fertility and for carrying a healthy baby was my mental state.

And so from the first appointment, even before wed looked at what I was eating she told me I needed to meditate and journal every day, as well as giving me a set of positive affirmations to try to help me battle the cruel voice in my head. She prescribed exercise, yoga and maximising activities that made me feel good about myself.

As she suspected, all my medical tests came back clear, and after a few weeks, my mind started to ease and we began trying for a baby. At this stage, she told me to start taking folic acid. Within a few weeks, I was pregnant.

I say the last point not to gloat; I know that for many people, fertility isnt a walk in the park and I by no means want to show off about how quickly we conceived. But more because I want other high BMI women to read this and know that all the scaremongering they have been told and read is not necessarily true.

While there may be some evidence to suggest that weight can affect fertility, it does not and will not ever give the full picture. And telling women before theyve even tried to conceive that their bodies are problematic is simply not a helpful way to support them through the process.

The advice I was given by medical professionals did nothing to improve my health; in fact it had the opposite effect, pushing me to wage a war with my body that made me miserable.

The day I found out I was pregnant, my best friend was visiting. She, like my boyfriend, has had a front-row seat in the auditorium of my misery about my body.

The first thing she said to me was, look at that body you have hated and been horrible to your whole life. Look what it just did! Look what it did for you! Maybe now is the time to start loving it more. We both cried because we were happy, but also because we knew she was right.

The road to self love is long, especially when it comes to making peace with your size, and I am only a few miles from the start. But what Ive learned is that even with the best intentions, the facts (or opinions) thrown at you by medical professionals are not always right.

I am working very hard to make sure that my body is as healthy as my baby deserves it to be, so that they can grow in a safe and stable environment. A big part of that for us is keeping my stress levels low, as well as, like any other mum, managing my sugar intake, taking regular exercise and eating a healthy diet.

It is hard to deny that there are health benefits from being lighter for some people. But its also important to remember that not everyones body is the same, and that health is a broad picture, encompassing everything from our blood pressure to our mental state.

I hope that this is the start of a new relationship between me and my body, one that is more supportive and less antagonistic.

Beyond that, I hope one day medical professionals will realise the emotional impact that their words can have on people in bigger bodies, and try to look at us as humans first, rather than simply numbers on a scale or a data sheet.

Anne Hegerty is best known as one of the quizzers on The Chase, but she was also a contestant on Im A CelebrityGet Me Out of Here! In 2018. During her time on the show, Anne lost a stone. However, in recent years, the TV personality has reportedly lost a huge three stone in total.

A source told the Sun at the time: We believe between them the campmates have lost around four stone.

What the celebs are eating is very healthy, from veg to meat protein and fish, and that is absorbed quickly by the body.

The weight loss doesnt do any permanent damage, and most pile it back on within three weeks, especially in the build up to Christmas.

The celebs see it as a detox, although at the same time it is very difficult as they have nothing to distract them from the hunger.

DON'T MISS:

Appearing on ITVs This Morning just after having been on Im A Celebrity, Anne told Philip Schofield and Rochelle Humes that she believes the lack of salt in her diet on the show helped to kick off her weight.

Anne also spoke to the Sun about her weight loss, explaining how she maintains her ideal weight.

She said: I need to do it in small stages.

If I just try and live healthily and drink lots of water, the weight loss will come.

If I lose one or two stone, its not going to be obvious to anybody, but Ill feel better in myself.

The TV personality added that she felt more confident thanks to her weight loss, but she still found it difficult to hold down a relationship.

She said: It took years of psychotherapy before I even considered dating.

I lost weight, replaced my glasses with contact lenses and felt a lot more confident.

But I find it really hard to hold down a relationship.

Speaking about her longest relationship, Anne continued: Id fancied him for years and we were together for four months.

Even though he lived in Brighton I still felt suffocated in Manchester.

And sex was always better in my head, I felt like I was somewhere else while it was happening.

It made me realise I needed space both mentally and physically in life, and I cant make it work.

I dont think I ever will. I still get attracted to people but having a relationship isnt fair on the other person.

Mehmet Oz, the celebrity heart surgeon who announced he will run for Pennsylvanias open U.S. Senate seat, is among the best-known doctors in the country.

But on his popular television program, The Dr. Oz Show, the 61-year-old often offers misleading or downright untrue medical advice.

READ MORE: Why Philly will no longer see the 'Dr. Oz' show

Though he has used his platform to promote well-accepted health advice for instance, hosting a renowned scientist to debunk the myth that the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines alter our DNA hes been widely criticized by doctors, scientists, and lawmakers for peddling pseudoscience.

Here are some of his more questionable claims that have earned the Penn-educated, NY Presbyterian-Columbia Medical Center cardiothoracic surgeon such notoriety:

Oz was among the medical experts to tout the benefits of hydroxychloroquine, the malaria drug pushed by former President Donald Trump as a treatment for COVID-19, despite insufficient evidence. After studies found the drug did not provide any benefit for treating COVID-19, Oz dialed back his endorsement, saying people should wait for more substantial evidence from trials.

Oz has used his national platform to give credence to COVID-19 misinformation and fuel politicization of the pandemic.

In April 2020 he faced backlash after arguing that schools should reopen because doing so may only cost us 2% to 3% in terms of total mortality of the population. He apologized on Twitter and said he misspoke.

Yet in a candidacy announcement posted to his campaign website, Oz again suggested the government had overblown the severity of COVID-19, unjustly limiting personal freedom.

He says Americans were patronized and misled instead of empowered and told to docilely lock down and let those in charge take care of the rest.

Elites with yards told those without yards to stay inside where the virus was more likely to spread. And the arrogant, closed-minded people in charge closed our schools, shut down our businesses and took away our freedom, he says on his website.

In the candidacy announcement, Oz says that COVID-19 critics, including unnamed Nobel laureates, were canceled, that doctors were prohibited from prescribing legal medications for the first time in history, and that his own efforts to fund clinical trials for drugs that could help treat COVID-19 were banned.

His campaign did not respond to a request for additional details about the Nobel laureates, restricted medications, and clinical trials.

Oz has featured several products on his show designed to melt belly fat with little evidence that they work. In 2014, he was hauled into a U.S. Senate committee hearing to address his claims that green coffee extract was a miracle weight-loss supplement.

Oz told senators he promoted such products because he felt his job was to be a cheerleader for the audience.

When they dont think they have hope, when they dont think they can make it happen, I look everywhere, including in alternative healing traditions, for any evidence that might be supportive to them, he said.

A small study in India had found the extract helped people lose weight quickly, but it was later retracted after a Federal Trade Commission complaint that the green coffee manufacturer Applied Food Sciences had paid researchers to conduct the study and that data had been manipulated.

Companies that advertised green coffees weight-loss benefits based on the flawed study agreed to a $9 million settlement with the FTC to refund 200,000 consumers who had bought the products based on false advertising.

The companies used their spots on Ozs show to further promote their products, according to the FTC.

Oz also helped popularize a supplement made from garcinia cambogia, a tropical fruit that resembles a small, yellow pumpkin. The hydroxycitric acid found in the fruits rind is supposed to slow fat buildup and increase serotonin, making people feel less hungry. But studies have not found the extract to have any significant effect on weight loss.

Regardless, Oz promoted the product on his show as a revolutionary fat buster that could help people lose weight without diet or exercise.

Critics have speculated that Oz has financial ties to the supplements he peddles on his show. In a 2015 letter urging Columbia University to rescind Ozs faculty appointment, a group of doctors accused him of an egregious lack of integrity by promoting quack treatments and cures in the interest of personal financial gain. The letter did not offer any evidence that Oz accepted money in exchange for promoting a product, and the television host has said he does not earn commission from any product featured on his show.

Oz came to Philadelphia in 2017 to film a segment on the citys El Campamento, a former heroin camp along a Conrail-owned strip of land in Kensington. He called the camp the festering epicenter of the heroin crisis, drawing national attention and outrage. Later that summer, Philadelphia officials dismantled the encampment but residents and advocates have criticized the clearance, saying the city didnt offer people with addiction adequate treatment or housing options, and contending the clearance contributed to larger, more visible encampments throughout the neighborhood.

Rebel Wilsons management team initially wasnt supportive of the actress 2020 fitness journey that ultimately saw her lose over 70 pounds.

I got a lot of pushback from my own team actually, here in Hollywood, when I said, OK, Im going to do this year of health. I feel like Im really gonna physically transform and change my life,' the Pitch Perfect star, 41, told the BBC on Monday.

And they were like, Why? Why would you wanna do that?' she recalled. Because I was earning millions of dollars being the funny fat girl and being that person.

But Wilson knew she wanted to reshape her relationship with food, saying that while she was comfortable with her weight, she knew her eating habits were problematic.

I knew deep down inside that some of the emotional eating behaviors I was doing [were] not healthy. Like, I did not need a tub of ice cream every night, she admitted. That was me kind of numbing emotions using food, which wasnt the healthiest thing.

She added, I think it was dealing with not being a natural performer and having to perform every day and that pressure and internal stress to be able to perform like that.

Wilson has acknowledged that she understands why the public is obsessed with her weight loss, as she once paid close attention to Oprah Winfreys own journey.

Oprah is one of my heroes, she told the Daily Telegraphs Stellar in October. Shes certainly struggled with eating issues, and I would always watch her episodes when she spoke about that.

The Aussie star has also opened up about wanting to focus on her health and fitness in order to increase her chances of getting pregnant.

It first startedwhen I was looking into fertility stuff, and the doctor was like, Well, youd have a much better chance if you were healthier, she said on Instagram Live in July.

Wilson was initially offended that her doctor would suggest she lose weight because she believed herself to be pretty healthy, but after giving it some thought, she realized she should shape up in order to try to start a family.

Thats kind of what started it, that if I lost some excess weight that it would give me a better chance for freezing eggs and having the eggs be a better quality, she said. It wasnt even really myself; it was more thinking of a future mini-me, really.

Wilson first opened up about her fertility struggles in May, writing on Instagram, To all the women out there struggling with fertility, I feel ya. The universe works in mysterious ways and sometimes it all doesnt make sense but I hope theres light about to shine through all the dark clouds.

The Isnt It Romantic star started shedding weight in January 2020 when she announced that she was embarking on a year of health. Shehit her goal weightthat November byswitching up her exercise routineandeating healthier.

Since then, Wilson has proudly shown off her fit figure by posting thirst traps to social media.

Wilson has been living her best single life following her breakup with her boyfriend of six months, Anheuser-Busch heir Jacob Busch, in February.

Dr Michael Mosley often shares his weight loss tips with slimmers online as well as on television. He is the creator of The Fast 800 a diet plan that helps people lose weight quickly.

The nutrition expert continued: There is a widespread belief that if you lose weight fast then you will put it on even faster.

But is it true?

In a recent review article titled Myths, Presumptions and Facts about Obesity in the prestigious medical journal, The New England Journal of Medicine, researchers put this claim firmly into the myths category.

After looking at numerous studies which have compared rapid with slow and steady weight loss, they concluded that you would do better to lose it quickly rather than slowly.

DON'T MISS:

Looking at one study in particular, Dr Mosley said: Researchers took 200 obese volunteers and put half of them on a low calorie diet less than 800 calories a day for 12 weeks.

The other half were asked to cut their calories by 500 a day, which was enough to lose around a pound a week.

They were asked to do this for 36 weeks.

There was a very high drop-out rate among the steady dieters: less than half made it to the end of the 36 weeks. Most said they gave up because they were frustrated by the slow rate of progress.

The doctor went on to explain a little more about The Fast 800 diet, saying: The Fast 800 is a great place to start if youre looking to lose weight.

It provides you with all of the tools you will need to start changing your lifestyle for the better.

Once youve entered your goals, you will receive meal plans, recipes, shopping lists, exercises and mindful exercises to help you achieve your objective.

In terms of the types of food slimmers eat while following The Fast 800, Dr Mosley said: You should be looking to incorporate a good balance of protein, fibre and healthy fats, which is essentially the Mediterranean diet.

The good news is, whether you incorporate intermittent fasting or not, a low carb Mediterranean diet has unique power not just to restore your bodys ability to reach its ideal weight and stay there, but also to cut your risk of serious disease.

It doesnt come from a place of restriction but rather its about eating more of the right foods.

Not only will these foods keep you feeling full, but they also offer important nutrients and health benefits, and taste delicious.

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the daybut in many cases, your morning meal may be the one that makes or breaks your weight loss efforts. However, it's not just downing donuts day after day that can have a profoundly negative impact on your weight. Experts say that many of the seemingly innocuous breakfast habits you're engaging in on a regular basis could be hindering your weight lossor even causing the numbers on the scale to move in the wrong direction. If you want to get your healthy living efforts back on track, read on to discover the worst breakfast habits for weight loss, according to experts. And if you want to slim down the healthy way, start with these 15 Underrated Weight Loss Tips That Actually Work.

While you may find yourself short on time in the morning, having only coffee for your first meal can prove detrimental to your weight loss efforts in the long run.

"Replacing a nourishing breakfast with coffee may seem efficient, but you're actually missing out on some key nutrients like protein, fiber, and antioxidants from food," says Amy Davis, RD, LDN.

Without these essential nutrients, you may find yourself feeling sluggish or looking for foods that provide quick energy later on.

While grabbing a bowl of sugary cereal may be enough to temporarily quell your hunger, doing so may eventually backfire.

"These products lack nutrition and contain very little fiber, leaving you starving not long after! You should be opting for wholegrain cereals, such as rolled oats," says obesity specialist Nick Fuller, PhD, a research program leader at the University of Sydney's Boden Collaboration for Obesity, Nutrition, Exercise & Eating Disorders and founder of Interval Weight Loss.

RELATED: The #1 Best Breakfast Food to Eat After 50, Says Dietitian

It's true that fresh-pressed juices may be hydrating and contain nutrients, but Fuller says they're a poor choice of breakfast for most people.

"Calories from liquid are not as satiating," says Fuller. "When you juice or blend, you do not get the same filling effect when compared to eating the whole food. Plus, a large glass of juice will typically have 2.5 times the energy content and one-third the fiber content of a piece of fruit."

While black coffee may have negligible calories on its own, those sugary additions you're making to it can seriously derail your weight loss.

"Whether it be from a ton of real sugar via cane syrup sweeteners, or from multiple colorful packets of non-nutritive sweeteners, having your taste buds start the day off super sweet is not ideal. It sets your body up to crave sugar later on during the day," says Marissa Meshulam, MS, RD, CDN, founder of MPM Nutrition. Meshulam also notes that by starting your day with an ultra-sweet beverage, healthier sweets like fruit won't taste as satisfying.

If you want to ensure that you're not famished by noon, it's important to make sure you're eating plenty of fiber at breakfast.

"Diets rich in dietary fiber have been shown to be beneficial for reducing fat mass. Pairing a fiber source (fruit, vegetable, or whole grain) with breakfast helps to maintain blood sugar levels and manage hunger throughout the day," says Dana Norris, MS, RD, of Eleat Sports Nutrition.

After launching in February 2019, Pilot has since become one of Australias biggest startups for mens healthcare. With over 100,000 users, Pilots telehealth service is designed to make healthcare advice both easily accessible and understandable.

Recently, Pilot has launched its Metabolic Reset Program. This program is an Australian-first and designed to help Australian men lose weight through clinically proven medication and personal health coaching.

According to 2017-18 findings published by the Australian Institue of Health and Welfare, 67% of Australian over the age of 18 are overweight or obese. According to Pilot co-founder, Benny Kleist, One of Australias biggest killers is metabolic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases with one in three Australian men living with obesity.

Heres what you need to know about the program and how you can sign up for it.

Pilots Metabolic Reset Program is designed to help participants lose weight, but also keep the weight off.

I watched my brother struggle to lose weight for years no matter what he tried, explains Kleist. It affected him both physically and emotionally which is what inspired us to develop the Metabolic Reset Program.

What most people dont know is that 80% of weight gain is determined by our genetics. For those who are overweight or obese, most dont have a say in their ability to lose weight with diet and exercise alone.

So how does the program work? First, youll consult with a doctor to determine what your metabolism is. From there, youll be assigned a personal health coach who, along with your daily treatment plan, will help keep your weight loss on track through a consistent routine.

To help regular your appetite, youll also be prescribed a new class of medication that slows down the rate at which your stomach empties. It does this by mimicking a naturally occurring gut hormone know as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This results in you feeling fuller for longer and lowers your desire to intake more food.

By combining this medication with a set routine, along with support from health and fitness professionals, Pilots Metabolic Reset Program could help you overcome your weight loss struggles.

The Metabolic Reset Program costs $13 per day, which includes all doctors consults and support, the monthly delivery of treatment, as well as access to a personal health coach, which will be available at any time.

Before accessing the program, youll need to complete an online assessment to determine your eligibility.

Celery with peanut butter is a simple and quick-to-make snack that can help fight hunger between meals.

Its low carb content makes it a popular option for people who wish to lose weight, follow a ketogenic diet, or want to limit the number of carbs they eat each day.

Interestingly, this snack also seems to top peoples list of the best snacks to have right before bedtime.

In this article, we review whether celery with peanut butter is a healthy snack, whether its suitable for specialty diets like the keto diet, whether it can help you lose weight, and how it may help you get a better nights sleep.

Celery and peanut butter are two minimally processed, nutrient-rich foods. As a result, combining the two results in a snack thats rich in fiber and protein. Its also a good source of niacin, manganese, copper, magnesium, and heart-healthy fats (1, 2).

You can expect a small, 5-inch (13-cm) long celery stalk topped with a tablespoon (16 grams) of 100% natural peanut butter to provide you with the following (1, 2):

Its low carb content makes this snack appropriate for low carb diets, and its moderate protein content and high fat content make it particularly suitable for a ketogenic diet (3, 4).

A keto diet is a low carb, high fat diet often used to treat epilepsy. It also appears effective for weight loss for some people and may help prevent or improve diabetes, Alzheimers disease, and possibly even some types of cancer (4, 5, 6, 7, 8).

Its worth mentioning that a keto diet isnt suitable for everyone. The diet may cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headaches, constipation, and fatigue. It may also result in nutrient deficiencies or issues with the liver or kidneys in the longer term (4).

Finally, both peanut butter and celery are rich in antioxidants, which are beneficial compounds that help protect you from disease-causing cell damage (9, 10).

Celery with peanut butter is rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and heart-healthy fats. Its low carb content and high fat content makes it an appropriate snack for people following a keto diet.

Celery with peanut butter is rich in fiber, protein, and fat three nutrients that help fight hunger and increase feelings of fullness. As a result, having this snack as part of a balanced diet may help you lose weight (11, 12).

Despite peanut butter being rich in calories and fat, research suggests that including peanuts in your diet doesnt appear to cause weight gain (9).

Furthermore, peanut butter appears more likely to help you feel full than a carb-heavy snack containing the same number of calories. So in certain cases, it may even help with weight loss (9).

On the other hand, celery is low in calories, yet rich in water. Therefore, its low energy density may also help with weight loss and prevent weight regain (13, 14, 15, 16).

That said, its important to remember that weight loss typically results from burning more calories than you are taking in (17).

So if your calorie intake exceeds your calorie output, you are unlikely to lose weight, no matter the quantity of celery with peanut butter youre eating.

Celery with peanut butter may help fight hunger and promote fulllness. This may make weight loss more achievable, but only if the rest of your diet and lifestyle choices also allow for it.

Peanut butter contains a good amount of tryptophan, an amino acid shown to enhance the quality of your sleep (1, 18, 19).

Although studies havent specifically examined peanut butters effects on sleep, they have linked tryptophan-rich foods, like peanut butter, to improved sleep (20, 21).

Your body requires tryptophan to make melatonin and serotonin, two hormones that are crucial for high quality sleep (19, 22).

In addition, peanut butters fat and protein content, coupled with the fiber found in celery, make it a particularly satiating snack (9).

This can be particularly helpful if hunger pangs cause you to wake up in the middle of the night, or if your level of hunger at bedtime is keeping you from easily falling asleep.

Just keep in mind that celery is also quite rich in water. As a result, eating too much of it before bedtime may increase your need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, potentially disrupting your sleep.

Celery and peanut butter can be a good bedtime snack. Its particularly satiating and offers a good source of tryptophan, which may help increase the quality of your sleep.

Celery with peanut butter is a nutrient-rich, minimally processed snack that can find its place within a healthy, balanced diet.

Its low carb, high fat nature makes it a particularly suitable snack for those following a keto diet. Plus, it helps you feel full and satisfied, which can naturally help you limit the number of calories you eat if youre trying to lose weight.

Due to its tryptophan content, this snack may also help improve the quality of your sleep. However, its water content may cause some people to wake up and use the bathroom during the night. If this happens to you, try eating it during the day rather than before bedtime.
