Diet culture that celebrates thinness, weight loss and supplements, has been around for decades. But the global reach of social media and influencers talking about nutrition trends and advice is something new. And what theyre telling and selling to followers isnt always safe or fact-based.

Christy Harrison is a registered dietitian, certified intuitive eating counsellor and author. Her most recent book, The Wellness Trap, discusses moving away from diet-culture and sifting through disinformation. Shes on the podcast to discuss diet-cultures presence on social media, the harms of nutrition trends and how to maintain a safe relationship with food today.

A recent study highlights that combining time-restricted eating with high-intensity functional training enhances body composition and cardiometabolic health more effectively than either method alone, offering a promising strategy for improved health outcomes.

According to a recent study published in the journal PLOS ONE, integrating time-restricted eating with high-intensity functional training could enhance body composition and cardiometabolic parameters more effectively than either approach alone. The research was conducted by Ranya Ameur and Rami Maaloul from the University of Sfax, Tunisia, along with their colleagues.

Changes in diet and exercise are well-known ways to lose weight and improve cardiometabolic health. However, finding the right combination of lifestyle changes to produce sustainable results can be challenging. Prior studies indicate that time-restricted eating (which limits when, but not what, individuals eat) and high-intensity functional training (which combines intense aerobic and resistance exercise) may be beneficial and easier for individuals to commit to long-term.

In a new study, researchers investigated the impact of time-restricted eating and high-intensity functional training on body composition and markers of cardiometabolic health such as cholesterol, blood glucose, and lipid levels. 64 women with obesity were assigned to one of three groups: time-restricted eating (diet only), high-intensity functional training (exercise only), or time-restricted eating plus high-intensity functional training (diet + exercise). Participants following the time-restricted eating regimen ate only between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm. Those in the functional training groups worked out three days per week with an instructor.

After 12 weeks, all three groups had significant weight loss and decreases in waist and hip circumference. Likewise, all groups showed favorable changes in lipid and glucose levels.

Some differences were seen between groups. For example, fat-free mass (a combination of lean mass and skeletal muscle mass) and blood pressure improved in the diet + exercise and exercise groups but did not change in the diet-only group.

Participants in the diet + exercise group generally experienced more profound changes in body composition and cardiometabolic parameters than either diet or exercise alone.

The researchers noted that this is a relatively small study, and it is difficult to tease out the contributions of specific exercise routines or of time-restricted eating and calorie reduction since both groups reduced their calorie intake. However, they note that combining time-restricted eating with high-intensity functional training might show promise in improving body composition and cardiometabolic health.

The authors add: Combining time-restricted eating with High Intensity Functional Training is a promising strategy to improve body composition and cardiometabolic health.

The Flintstones may be a cultural touchstone, but it probably comes as no surprise that the show tells us little about what Stone Age life was actually like especially when it comes to eating. Contrary to what the cartoon depicts, pre-agricultural hunter-gatherers were not chowing down on brontoburgers. Still, even modern researchers ideas of what so-called cavemen ate is murky.

Experts are still trying to understand what early humans consumed in the millennia before farming. A dearth of well-preserved human remains leave a gap in our knowledge of how fledgling Homo sapiens ate. One group of ancient humans known as Iberomaurusians, who lived about 15,000 to 13,000 years ago, left clues in the form of teeth and bone remnants. A team of researchers in France, Germany, the U.K., and Morocco performed a new type of analysis on remnants from the Iberomaurusians to deduce what they ate pre-agriculture. Their recently published paper in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution describes a surprising discovery about how one group of people in modern-day Morocco ate.

The team examined 25 teeth and 7 bone samples from a total of 17 individuals from a burial site called Taforalt in North Africa. The group used a technique called isotope analysis on dental enamel, bone collagen, and amino acids, and found that these Iberomaurusians were eating a plant-rich diet several thousand years before the advent of agriculture.

In Europe, what we see usually is that hunter-gatherers were eating a lot of meat or fish, says Klervia Jaouen, the papers senior author and a geochemistry researcher at the National Centre for Scientific Researchs laboratory Gosciences Environnement Toulouse in France. And this is not what we see here. The fact that Jaouens team looked at a group of people in North Africa rather than Morocco already starts to broaden possibilities and challenges assumptions.

Instead, Jaouen and her cohort saw isotopic evidence that reflects a plant-heavy diet. Based on the plants available to the region as well as the photosynthetic pathways identified in the analysis, its likely the Iberomaurusians subsisted in part on wild pulses, acorns, and pine nuts. In fact, Jaouen says these Iberomaurusians diet was as predominantly herbivorous as that of an agricultural society. However, they werent totally herbivorous; they also hunted Barbary sheep and gazelles.

The Iberomaurusians arent the first group of early humans to demonstrate a plant-rich diet in the age before agriculture. Another group of hunter-gatherers, called the Natufians, in western Asia exploited wild plant growth to the degree that they eventually cultivated and domesticated them, leading to formal agriculture. Its surprising that the Iberomaurusians, who were contemporaries of the Natufians, were eating so many plants because agriculture arrived in North Africa between 8,000 and 3,000 years after it did for the Natufians.

Isotope analysis is a common archaeological practice to determine ancient eating patterns by identifying different isotopes, which are atoms of a particular element with a different number of neutrons than normal. Part of why this method is effective is because we are made of elements that come from our foods, Klervia says.

Typically, isotope analysis looks for carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and strontium isotopes. However, this study is the first to use zinc isotopes, which allowed the researchers to track a broader diet over a longer period of time than the traditional isotopes allow. Jaouen wants to apply this technique to the study of human remnants that came from Europe to see whether their diet was really as meat-heavy as we thought.

There's more diversity than what we believed, she says.

Going forward, Jaouen and her team are trying to document the transition from Paleolithic to Neolithic eras in North Africa in general. Ultimately, they want to compare the dietary habits from these two time periods, which will let us better understand how different human populations outside of Europe adapted.

We built the story from data that were restricted to a small geographical area, says Jaouen. And it's interesting to expand this and to see that everything was a bit more complex.

It's 10am and your stomach is grumbling. You're trying to focus on work but you're already thinking about what you're going to have for lunch. But first you need a snack because despite only having breakfast an hour ago, you're absolutely starving.

If your day is peppered with feeling constantly hungry, you're certainly not alone. A recent survey found one in four Brits find themselves uncontrollably hungry by 10.30am, with a further 27% getting peckish by mid-morning and a third admitting to getting out of bed for a midnight snack when the hunger takes hold.

Hunger, by definition, is a physiological need for nutrients to provide fuel for your body.

Dr Nabeetha Nagalingam, a microbiome expert and lead scientist at OMED Health and Owlstone Medical, says a complex system of physical and hormonal signals causes what we know as hunger and involves many parts of the body, including the brain, nervous system, stomach and intestinal tract.

"Hunger occurs because of biological changes in the body, which signal that you need to eat to maintain energy levels," she explains.

There are two main hormones involved in hunger signals: ghrelin and leptin.

"Typically, when you havent eaten for some time, the stomach produces ghrelin, which increases your appetite," Dr Nagalingam continues.

"And when you have eaten enough, your fat cells produce leptin, which interacts with the brain and lets it know that you have enough calories in the body, stopping hunger signals."

But persistent hunger can be indicative of potential lifestyle and dietary imbalances that, if unaddressed, can not only disrupt daily energy, focus and productivity, but also pose risks to long-term physical and mental health.

Constantly feeling this way is a reminder to check how our body's needs align with our daily routines," explains Anna Tebbs, nutritionist from Green Chef.

"Fixing this isn't just about stopping the hunger; it's a crucial step towards a healthier, more balanced life. When we understand and address why we're always hungry, we can regain control and prevent feeling unnecessarily hungry.

There are several reasons why youre always feeling hungry and understanding them can help you get back on the path to better health.

Not meeting calorie intake - especially if youre doing increased exercise

An adult body needs around 2000 calories a day for women, and 2500 calories for men "More if you're exercising regularly, so check youre eating enough calories each day," advises Beeson.

Lack of protein, fibre or healthy fats

We should be eating a diet that's balanced with adequate amounts of protein, fat and fibre in order to feel satisfied.

Even if youre cutting calories to lose weight, certain foods will fill you up more than others," explains Beeson.

"Protein, fibre and healthy fats keep you fuller for longer as they take longer to digest than refined carbs like white bread and pasta. Protein reduces levels of ghrelin, the hormone that makes you feel hungry, whilst boosting the production of hormones like peptide YY, which reduces appetite."

Protein should make up around 25-35% of each meal to keep your stomach satisfied.

"Aim for at least 20-30g per meal," Beeson continues. "It can be useful to meal prep, so you can pre-plan your daily intake of important nutrients."

Meanwhile fibre adds bulk to meals and promotes a sense of fullness. "Opt for wholegrains, legumes, fruit and vegetables to increase your fibre intake," Tebbs advises. "Not only does this aid in satiety, but it also supports digestive health."

Healthy fats also contribute to a feeling of satiety and support various bodily functions. "Incorporate sources of healthy fats, such as avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil, into your diet for a balanced and satisfying approach to eating," Tebbs adds.

Skipping meals, or eating too fast

It takes a while for satiety hormones to be released so Beeson advises not to eat on the go.

"Always chew your food slowly and eat mindfully," she adds. "If youve missed a meal or two, when you do eat, you may feel hungry again soon after as your body tries to make up for the missed calories.

"Keep to a regular meal routine and if you dont have time to eat, have a healthy snack rather than missing a meal.

Eating foods that cause blood sugar imbalances

Quickly digested foods like white bread or pasta dont fill you up.

"They can also cause blood sugar peaks followed by dips which can make you crave sugary foods again shortly after eating, Beeson advises.

Not drinking enough water

The body can sometimes signal that youre hungry when it really needs hydration.

"Drinking enough water (around two litres daily) can help to fill us up and stop us feeling so hungry," Beeson says. "Drink a glass of water half an hour before eating.

Changes in hormones

In women, hormonal changes can cause increased appetite. "Women are especially vulnerable to over-eating and food cravings before their periods, when appetite-stimulating progesterone levels are high," Beeson advises.

"Higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol during menopause can also cause increased hunger.

Drinking alcohol with food

Drinking alcohol with a meal can reduce your sense of control and cause you to over-eat.

"Alcohol also inhibits the production of the satiety hormone leptin so you dont feel full after eating, Beeson explains.

Not snacking mindfully

Avoid reaching for less nutritious snacks out of boredom or habit. "Instead, choose nutrient-dense options such as fruit, nuts or legumes, and pay attention to portion sizes," Tebbs advises.

"Practising mindful snacking can help regulate your appetite and contribute to a healthier approach to eating throughout the day."

Stress and emotional eating

For some, stress can lead to emotional eating, typically involving high-calorie comfort foods. "Combat stress by practising effective stress management techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, or engaging in activities that bring you joy and relaxation," Tebbs advises.

Lack of physical activity

Sedentary lifestyles can contribute to increased feelings of hunger. "Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week to not only support overall health but also help regulate appetite and promote a healthy metabolism," Tebbs suggests.

An underlying health problem

Some digestive conditions can also impact appetite. "For example, irritable bowel syndrome can cause symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhoea that can reduce desire to eat," Dr Nagalingam explains.

"Sometimes, our body doesnt have the capacity to recognise signals from our gut correctly. Its important to be aware and recognise if your body isnt responding to hunger signals properly, and speak to a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.

Longevity is a popular topic, thanks in part to the Blue Zones research on the best ways to live longer. Its an idea so fascinating, and so inspiring, partly because theres a growing awareness in our culture that extending your lifespan can be achieved through some of the simplest, and most pleasurable, things you do.

One of those is eating. A new study analyzed data on diets in seven countries after a team of doctors predicted that theyd observe an increase in life expectancy among populations that had transitioned from typical national dietary patterns to longevity-optimizing dietary changes, more feasible dietary modifications, and optimized vegan dietary changes.

Published in the April 29, 2024, issue of the peer-reviewed American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the study was led by public health and medical researchers who drew upon data from the Global Burden of Diseases and Injuries study, which is an ongoing initiative that monitors dietary habits and health metrics across multiple nations. The research combined statistics from China, France, Germany, Iran, Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Adjusting for height, weight, and physical activity level, the researchers identified some broad-sweeping trends:

The United States emerged with the greatest opportunity to increase longevity, due to Americans widespread consumption of foods like processed meat and added sugars, combined with low intake of longevity-promoting foods like whole grains, nuts, legumes, and fish. To our collective credit, Americans ate a decent amount of vegetables and consumed enough fruit, but this didnt fully offset the bad choices in other parts of the American diet.

The study also suggested that men stand to benefit from dietary modifications more than women, likely because across countries it was observed women already follow healthier diets.

Cognitive decline, also known as cognitive impairment, is a common occurrence in older adults. It ranges from mild cognitive impairment to life-altering forms of dementia, including Alzheimers disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

While many factors influence age-related cognitive impairment, the CDC estimates the prevalence at 11.7% in adults age 65 and older, and 10.8% among adults ages 45 to 64.

Some signs of cognitive decline include an inability to recall the words youre looking for, a reduced ability to focus, and a lack of enjoyment in activities you used to enjoy.

While certain things, like genetics, age and race, cannot be changed, the CDC cites evidence that supports how changing lifestyle factors that influence brain health may prevent or delay up to 40% of dementia cases. Several of these lifestyle factors are affected by nutrition, including blood pressure, weight and blood sugar levels.

A new study released on April 28, 2024, adds to the evidence suggesting that what we eat can affect cognitive impairment.

Researchers set out to determine whether two different eating patterns were associated with a reduction in cognitive impairment: an anti-inflammatory diet and a protein-rich diet. They drew their information from a survey that had been conducted in 2018. A total of 8,692 adults, age 60 or older, 55% female, were included in the sample.

Parameters were developed that outlined what researchers considered high-protein and anti-inflammatory eating patterns based on how often certain foods were consumed. Protein-rich foods included meats, fish, eggs, dairy and beans (legumes). Anti-inflammatory foods included fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and tea.

Each participant was also interviewed at home using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), which tests memory and mental acuity. Scores ranged from 0 to 30, with higher scores correlating with higher levels of cognitive function.

After controlling for confounding variablesage, sex, BMI, smoking status, etc.researchers found that the chances of cognitive decline decreased as the dietary scores for both an anti-inflammatory diet and a protein-rich diet increased. Specifically, an anti-inflammatory diet was associated with a 21% reduction in cognitive impairment and a protein-rich diet was associated with a 9% reduction.

Higher markers of inflammation in the body have been linked with greater rates of cognitive decline and depression. And while we might not be able to eliminate cognitive impairment, our lifestyle habits can go a long way toward preventing it.

For example, weve covered information on the MIND Diet, a fusion of the Mediterranean and DASH diets, which has been linked with better brain health. All of these diets include foods that the researchers considered anti-inflammatory and protein-rich.

Besides diet, other lifestyle habits also play a role in brain health. These include consistently engaging in physical activity, meditation and deep breathingwhich reduces stress and increases the amount of oxygen going to the braingetting plenty of quality sleep and connecting with friends and family, as loneliness has been associated with a higher risk of cognitive decline.

This study suggests that protein-rich and anti-inflammatory diets are associated with a lower risk of cognitive decline. In addition to the foods included in this study, healthy fats, whole grains, herbs and spices have also been linked with reduced inflammation. We include all these foods in our 7-Day Anti-Inflammatory Meal Plan for Healthy Aging. Combined with regular physical activity, lots of quality sleep, stress management and connecting with loved ones, including plenty of healthy protein-rich, anti-inflammatory foods in your diet will contribute toward keeping your brain healthynow and into the future.

Novo Nordisk, manufacturer of the weight-loss drug Wegovy, said this week at least 25,000 people are starting on the drug weekly in the U.S., up from about 5,000 in December, causing the maker to boost manufacturing to keep up with demand. Another obesity medicine maker, Eli Lilly, which makes Zepbound, also raised its sales outlook this week. While many GLP-1s have existed for years to treat diabetes, they are only recently driving sales for obesity treatments, which could soar above $80 billion by 2030, according to Bloomberg Intelligence.

Currently, less than 1% of Americans are on the GLP-1 drugs for weight loss, though Morgan Stanley equity analysts expect that figure to grow to 10% by 2034.

Not all doctors are jumping at the chance to prescribe the medication for their patients. Atlanta Plastic Surgery decided not to become a prescriber because of liability concerns about the drugs possible side effects, Nguyen said. Instead, the practice refers patients to primary care doctors.

Still, he estimated that 10% to 20% of his business comes from patients success losing weight after taking the drugs. Most of those patients request body contouring to remove excess skin after weight loss, he said.

Almost daily, Shady Grove Fertility in Sandy Springs has to revamp its treatment plan upon learning a client is taking a weight loss drug, according to medical director Desire McCarthy-Keith. Theyve become popular in the past year. Notwithstanding the data, it may affect pregnancy and fertility.

For some overweight clients, shedding pounds on the drugs can increase ovulation and reduce the medical issues experienced by women with polycystic ovary syndrome, which decreases fertility, said McCarthy-Keith, an ob-gyn and reproductive endocrinologist. Losing weight also reduces the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, miscarriage and pregnancy complications. But doctors advise caution when trying to get pregnant.

A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine in December reported the use of medications such as GLP-1 drugs does not raise the risk of birth defects when compared to insulin use.

But more studies are needed. For now, doctors recommend patients stop the drugs before trying to get pregnant.

This class of medication can stay in your system longer, so its recommended to try to put off getting pregnant for two months after stopping the weight-loss drugs, she said. The extra time allows the drug to work its way out of the body, reducing the risk to the fetus. It can be hard on them, McCarthy-Keith said about couples seeking fertility treatment. They are anxious to be pregnant. Its difficult to put their plans on hold.

Fertility specialists also recommend clients discontinue using weight loss drugs for up to two weeks before fertility treatments that require anesthesia, such as invitro fertilization, she said.

Dr. Jessica Rubin of Reproductive Biology Associates in Atlanta also has seen an increase in women using weight loss medicine to achieve the body mass index recommended to start fertility treatments. I would estimate an average of 2 to 5 patients a week have recently been on the weight loss medications.

The medication is also being used to supplement bariatric surgery, according to Dr. Benjamin Flink of Bariatric Innovations, a general and bariatric surgeon who specializes in medical weight loss management.

Flink said he prescribes medications, including the new injectable GLP-1s, to those seeking them for weight loss and to patients who use them to kickstart their weight loss before bariatric surgery. Doctors generally recommend bariatric surgery to patients who have severe obesity or weight-related health problems, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Bariatric procedures remain an effective option for those who do not want to take obesity medicine, are tired of taking it, or dont achieve the weight loss they desire from the medicine alone, Flink said. There are also patients who do not respond to medical weight loss or have not lost weight on multiple different medications.

He recounted how a patient took the injectable medicine for 9 months, losing enough to be considered a healthy weight, but then experienced severe stomach pains and had to stop taking the drug.

A lot of people think of weight loss medications, including the new injectable drugs, as a cure-all for obesity. They dont consider that these are maintenance drugs that only work while you are taking them and the potential long-term effects of taking these medications for a prolonged period of time.

He advises patients using the drugs to work with a nutritionist and to exercise so they dont lose excessive muscle mass, which is one of the potential long-term side effects of the medicine.

Abby Jellinek-Johnson of Harmony Nutrition described two types of patients she sees on the medication. First, those who start on the drugs without first seeking a nutrition assessment, lose weight and then plateau. It suppresses their appetite, so they forget to eat. We have to re-teach our patients what hunger might feel like and to remember to eat small balanced meals throughout the day in order to maintain their lean muscle mass and metabolism.

The second type of patient will work with a nutritionist before starting weight loss medication. There is a small subset of patients who are very diligent in implementing lifestyle changes and still dont see the weight loss they are working towards. Sometimes diet and exercise just isnt enough. And we find that in some cases these medications are the right choice for them as an individual. Many of these patients do end up being successful with long-term weight loss when they combine a medical approach with dietary and lifestyle changes.

Vicki Feldman has a similar philosophy. Like with any transformation, none of it really works without changing lifestyle, said the Marietta health coach, personal trainer, and group exercise instructor. Feldman works at two large gyms and for a leading weight loss program that recently partnered with a prescriber of the new drugs. Among some three dozen clients, she is currently helping four people develop healthy habits while taking the weight loss medicine.

Muscle loss is a prime concern. As we age, its natural to lose muscle mass. But that can be compounded by the rapid weight loss, she said. The people Im working with are very focused on maintaining or increasing their lean mass because they know thats going to be the key to maintaining their weight.

Many on the medicine probably arent aware of the muscle loss risk, said Maxim Nazaire, founder and owner of Safe Haven Fitness in Roswell. He estimates about 10% of his 120 clients have tried the weight loss drugs at some point. Trainers often learn about their clients use of the medication when reviewing fitness and wellness goals with them.

To build lean muscle, trainers focus on weight-bearing, multi-joint exercises such as squats, deadlifts, shoulder and chest lifts, he said. We monitor the intensity to manage the safety of the exercise as well.

Rebel Wilson has revealed she didn't believe she could lose weight.

The Pitch Perfect star has admitted she had no belief in her own abilities.

"I never thought I could do it,' Rebel, 44, told Ok! Magazine.

"Then in 2020, when I just really focused and did it, I felt sadness, because I'm like, 'I'm 40. Why did I not do it 10, 20 years ago?'"

The actress and comedian went through a grieving process for the years she had spent "hidden".

"I felt like this sadness, that I'd hidden away from people and from relationships," Rebel shared.

It was not until Rebel embarked on a "year of health" in 2020 that she realised she could commit to a healthy lifestyle.

"In 2020, I did this experiment called 'the year of health', and I lost a lot of weight," she said. "That garnered more attention than any movie I'd ever done."

Rebel explained she'd used food to make herself feel better as a result of not feeling confident enough to "stand up" for herself.

"Being born a girl where I came from in Australia, I didn't stand up for myself sometimes. Or I was told to just shut up and be a good girl," she said.

"Then, because I didn't feel that I was any good, I was feeding myself food that wasn't good. And it was like this whole cycle of like, 'Oh well, I'll just trash my own body'."

Kelly Osbourne has spoken out on accusations that she used Ozempic to lose baby weight, admitting it can be a 'miracle' drug if used in the correct way.

Kelly has been candid about her weight loss journey, particularly after she gave birth to her son.

The 39-year-old has been accused of using Ozempic, a medication used to treat type two diabetes but that has also been used for weight loss.

Although she has continuously insisted that she lost the weight on her own, Kelly has defended Ozempic.

Speaking to People magazine, the TV personality said: "I just have to clarify, I've never taken Ozempic.

"I don't know what Ozempic does to you other than what I saw it do to my mom.

"I think that it is the miracle drug in the right hands.

"The pros outweigh the cons, and if you really do research, the kind of medication and what it can do for you cognitively and what it does for the rest of your body, like I said, it's a miracle drug."

Kelly's mom Sharon lost 42 pounds on Ozempic, though she has admitted she feels she's now lost 'too much' weight.

Oprah Winfrey is another fellow famous face who has admitted to using the medication to slim down.

Kelly said she doesn't understand the criticism that has been directed towards Ozempic users: "For some reason, society is trying to paint it out to be a bad thing. And I don't understand why.

"If you need to lose some weight, who cares how you do it, as long as you're doing it in a healthy way."

Despite Kelly's defence of Ozempic, her mom has given a stark warning about its use.

The former X Factor judge said: "You can lose so much weight and its easy to become addicted to that, which is very dangerous.

"I couldnt stop losing weight and now Ive lost 42lb and I cant afford to lose any more."

In particular, the 71-year-old has insisted that teenagers shouldn't use the medication, calling it 'too easy'.

While speaking to Bill Maher on his podcast, Sharon opened up about the side effects of Ozempic: "I just throw up all the time and you feel so nauseous. However, the nausea didn't last forever, and after it passed.

"You're just not hungry."

Despite the unpleasant side effects, Sharon doesn't regret her Ozempic use as it helped her address her 'weight struggles'.

Sharon stopped using the drug in November, worrying that she had become too 'gaunt'.
