Former unified heavyweight champion of the world, Andy Ruiz Jr., has been in the news for his incredible weight-loss. However, recent training footage has shed light on the reality of the former champion. So has Destroyer Ruiz Jr. really lost weight?

When Ruiz Jr. lost to Anthony Joshua in December 2019 in the rematch, he got heavy criticism for his overweight frame and his lack of discipline. Moreover, his former coaches also revealed the indiscipline that the heavyweight showed.

However, he seemed to have turned a corner when footage revealed his impressive weight loss. Andy Ruiz Jr. signed with Eddie Reynoso and embarked upon on an inspiring weight loss journey, or so it seemed. The initial footage even gave a glimpse of the heavyweights abs.

Recent footage has suggested otherwise. A video that went viral showed Ruiz Jr. training with Ryan Garcia, Canelo Alvarez, and the team. He was hitting the heavy-bag while the others were getting in their workout. However, Ruiz Jr. didnt seem to be as lean as before.

Ruiz Jr. certainly did not look overweight as he did in the Joshua rematch. Therefore, fans can safely say that he has lost some weight and got back in shape. But, it may not be as big a transformation as was initially assumed.

Ruiz J. did not fight in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, recent training has suggested that the former champion is ready to make his mark on the heavyweight division again. Although, he would need a worthy opponent for that.

Reports suggest that his next fight could be the same opponent he would have faced in 2020. Mike Coppinger from the Athletic reported that the Chris Arreola fight is still on. Moreover, he gave an insight into the timeline, suggesting that Destroyer could return in the spring.

Therefore, come the spring, we will find out whether the former champion has actually lost weight. However, one thing is for sure, Andy Ruiz Jr. will go into the fight in better shape than his outing at Clash On The Dunes.

What do you make of Andy Ruiz Jrs weight loss? Do you think the former champion has actually lost weight?

On an average, it is fine to gain around 12 kgs during pregnancy: Nmami Agarwal

What you eat and how much of it is more important than ever while you are pregnant. And, the amount of weight you gain during your pregnancy is as essential to your health as it is to the health of your baby. During pregnancy you should work closely with your doctor to make sure you keep your weight on target. Gaining weight to a certain extent is fine but gaining too much weight can cause complications during your pregnancy and make it difficult for you to lose the extra pounds after your delivery and not gaining suitable weight can jeopardize your baby's growth and development. So, eating a healthy, balanced diet will help your baby get the nutrients they need and grow at a healthy rate.

During pregnancy, gaining an ideal weight is different for every pregnant person. There is no such magic number of how many pounds you should gain. It is said, too little weight or too much weight is not healthy for you or your baby. The weight you gain during your pregnancy affects your health after your pregnancy which in turn can affect your baby's health right into their adult years.

The recommendations for weight gain during pregnancy are based on your pre-pregnancy weight and Body mass index (BMI). Putting on the recommended amount of weight in pregnancy is associated with optimizing health outcomes for you and your baby, you are more likely to be well-nourished, your baby will be more likely to grow to an appropriate size, and you'll have an easier time carrying your baby to term and returning to your pre-pregnancy weight.

A woman should gain 10 to 14 kg during pregnancy, an average of 12 kg, in order to elevate the likelihood of giving birth to a healthy baby, with less risk of fetal and maternal complications. Generally, women who were at a healthy weight before becoming pregnant need between 2,200 calories and 2,900 calories a day when expecting. A steady increase in calories as the baby grows is the best bet.

Also, it is a common myth that during pregnancy, you need to eat for two, and thus increase your calorie intake by two times. The calorie intake in the first trimester, is adjusted as per your weight gain goal, and shall only be increased by 300-400 calories per day in the second trimester, and in the third trimester, you need 450-500 extra calories per day.

Perhaps, it is always advisable to check with the doctor or a dietitian to help you plan healthy meals and the right amounts of calories for you.

Gaining weight is necessary for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. It's also vital for your own health. To conclude, how much weight you need to gain and when you gain it depends on you - every pregnant person is different.

It has to be the words spoken by my CA teacher which keep me focussed and dedicated. He once told me that our body is not a dustbin in which you can dump any kind of intake. This lesson reminds me to always eat clean and follow a good eating pattern.

How do you ensure you dont lose focus?

Since I do yoga religiously, it helps me stay aligned with my goals in mind. Once you start eating well, you wont crave or feel tempted for junk food anymore. Fitness has to be made into a lifestyle habit if you want to see consistent, long-lasting results.

Whats the most difficult part of being overweight?

Irregular, bad eating habits, change in the way you look are some of the things which can make you feel low.

What shape do you see yourself 10 years down the line?

I want to be fit and healthy just as I am today.

Reading Time: 6 minutes

Hailed as the secret to the successful singer Adeles 100lb weight loss, and dubbed an international diet sensation fit for sports stars, the Sirtfood Diet promises continuous munching on whatever you like. And that includes red wine and chocolate. All whilst shedding the pounds in the space of weeks.

Sirt Food diet founders Aidan Goggins and Glen Matten claim this mostly plant-based diet can trim off seven pounds in just one week. At last, a diet that lets you eat your favorite foods without putting on the pounds a win-win right?

Goggins and Matten also claim that the diet helps access the skinny gene, which is a fat-busting part of our bodies that doesnt require a nightmarish exercise routine alongside.

But is this global craze a quick-fix fad? And, what are the long-term effects?

At its core, the diet is about eating more foods high in sirtuins (SIRTs). Theyre plant-based foods and most are high in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. The diet lists 20 foods high in SIRTs and advises adding lots of them into the recommended calorie restrictions.

These 20 foods are as follows:

Goggins and Matten are both masters in nutritional medicine and came up with the diet five years ago. Its split into two stages. The first is the most grueling as it kicks off by limiting calories to just 1,000 a day for three days. This is around half of what adults are generally recommended to consume daily by the National Health Service (NHS).

During those first three days, the 1,000 calorie maximum must be split over three sirtfood green juices and one full meal containing sirtfoods. Remaining in the first phase, the initial week continues with increasing calories to 1,500 a day. Across the final four days of phase one, dieters drop to two green juices and jump to two meals a day.

Part two of the diet stretches over two weeks and consists of three sirtfood-rich meals a day along with one green juice.

Meals and juices combined should include at least five portions of sirtfoods.

The idea behind this structure is to kick the body into survival mode, which results in quick weight loss.

Sirtfoods activate sirtuin genes in the body called SIRT-1. Goggins and Matten claim this mimics the effects of fasting and doing exercise as they help the body burn fat and boost muscle growth. The gene is the bodys spring cleaning gene, they say, and helps battle tiredness by clearing out clutter in our cells.

Eating a diverse range of sirtfoods not only helps dieters lose weight, but it improves energy, skin, and sleep in the long term the pair claim.

Nutrition expert and body coach, Juggy Sidhu, notes that the early caloric restriction of the Sirtfood Diet can feed into a cycle of dieting, which can lead to negative psychological health impacts.

It is incredibly important to note that 7lbs off the scales, does not equate to 7lbs of body fat reduction. Around two-thirds of this weight will be down to fluid loss from intracellular space. This means, you most likely lost a good amount of water in the first week, and the likelihood of this continuing is very low, he said.

Sidhu adds: Early big wins can be highly motivating. Unfortunately, these big drops dont keep happening. Due to the highly restrictive nature of both the foods on offer and the calorie recommendations, there is very little consideration for sustainability in this dietary approach.

Restricting calories has also been found to cause symptoms including headaches, nausea, fainting, and muscle mass loss.

The diets closest relative is the popular Mediterranean Diet, which is predominantly plant-based. It is revered for its health benefits including links to reducing heart disease and holds the top spot for U.S. News 2021 Best Diets.

On the Mediterranean Diet, you can load up on carbs and plant oils. In essence, you can eat lots of bread, olive oil, and pasta all whilst upping your fruit and vegetable intake as well. It also calls for dieters to eat less meat, the NHS states.

Goggins and Matten describe the Sirtfood Diet as an upgrade. This is because it takes the best elements of the Mediterranean diet and combines them with the best foods from around the world.

Vegan science YouTuber MicTheVegan examined the diet in a video. The math doesnt add up, he noted on the 7lb weight loss in a week claim which the founders say is backed by science. Mic criticized the study which took place over just one week.

It would be a meatless Mediterranean diet with added juicing. Thats a good step away from a standard American diet or UK diet but Adele also happened to be adopting a new, pretty intense, workout regime, he said.

On the surface, the diet holds merit, says Sidhu, but, accessing the SIRT-1 gene by diet was proved inconclusive over five decades of research and funding.

Nutritionist Sophie Elwood said it was simply too early to assess whether the Sirtfood Diet is in fact safe.There is very little evidence and research yet to show whether or not the diet is beneficial or damaging to your health, she said.

Discussions and rumors around the diet ignited after Adele posted a photograph of herself on Instagram revealing what many media outlets reported as a loss of seven stone. A wealth of tabloids claim she linked the diet to her new figure. She features heavily on The Sirtfood Diets website which claims her amazing results spawned from trying it out.

Whilst The Sirtfood Diet doesnt advise against eating animal products, Adele is vegetarian and that may have contributed to her weight loss.

Whilst the diet doesnt call for a particular exercise routine bar the NHS recommended weekly amount of just over two hours of moderate exerciseit is exercise that has been linked to Adeles success.

She worked with a personal trainer and kept to a regular Pilates routine, British tabloids reported.

But, Goggins and Matten claim: There is a new interest in the diet especially in the media from Adeles amazing results on it. To us, she encapsulates everything it is about. She has publicly shunned conventional dieting and extreme exercise in the past, and rightly so.

The Sirtfood Diet is a real endorsement of why plant-based diets are so healthy, Goggins says.

Sirtfoods are a celebration of plant foods, he says, and go beyond how we traditionally perceive food as fuel. Instead, the diet uses sophisticated signaling packages that dictate our health on a cellular level.

So, the Sirtfood Diet is already vegan as all top sirtfoods are plant-based.

However, in The Sirtfood Diet original book, Goggins and Matten warn of the potential dangers of eating a solely plant-based sirtfood diet. They advise taking additional selenium, B12, and vitamin d supplements.

They recommend vegans include green vegetables including kale, broccoli, and bok choy on a sirtfood diet. Secondly, vegans should include calcium-fortified plant milks such as almond, soy, or rice. In addition, they should make sure to add tofu, nuts, and seeds into meals.

Steering away from processed foods is advised, they add, making it similar to the vegan ketogenic diet. A number of sirtfoods are recommended on a vegan keto diet, which is designed to kick the body into a process called ketosis by eating a diet low in carbohydrates and sugar.

For example, dieters would cut foods high in carbs such as pasta, potatoes, beans, and legumes none of which are sirtfoods, and all of which are higher in calories than green vegetables.

It has been hailed for its weight loss benefits. However, it usually contains dairy, fish, and meat products.

Switching to a vegan Sirtfood Diet involves eating any vegan foods, so long as they fall within the daily calorie restrictions in phase one.

The one sirtfood to look out for on a vegan diet would be red wine, as not all wine is vegan.

Your sweet tooth will be kept satisfied with these cacao plant-based cookies. Why forgo delicious cookies on any diet? They are rich in walnuts, which is one of the top sirtfoods.

Ask any of my clients and they will tell you that I am an expert in working around all sorts of physical and mental limitations. For example:

Client text: I tweaked my knee and so I dont think I should workout today.

Coach Pritam reply: We can do all kinds of things that dont involve your knee, Ill see you soon!

Also:

Client about to (safely) progress to lifting more weight than they ever have: I dont think I can do this

Coach Pritam reply: Oh, I know you can! (They proceed to successfully lift the weight and break through their own self-defined limits of their capabilities.)

Indeed, in all my years of training, I can count on one hand the times that Ive been unable to work around an issue that one of my clients or athletes has presented.

As this last year has humbly reminded me, though, I am not so good at applying those same principles to myself.

More than a year ago, I suffered a hamstring injury. There was no sharp pain or obvious cause, so it was hard to pinpoint, but something was indeed wrong. However, me being me, I was easily able to continue on with my normal workouts and activity. Eventually, however, the discomfort became impossible to ignore. Diagnosed as high hamstring tendinopathy, it evolved into a painful, chronic and persistent injury and a significant limitation in my workouts, mood, and even daily life. (Simply sitting, something we do repeatedly and for extended periods every day, causes pain and sets back the healing process.)

Im now one year into actively treating this painful issue and theres no telling how much longer it will take to heal. Meanwhile, Ive had a lot of time to reflect on my own limitations and how I handle them. Heres what my experience has taught me:

Do Your BestI defaulted to my proven methods of dealing with injury, including rest, stretching, foam rolling, Active Release Technique, reducing weight, sets and repetitions in my workouts as well as eliminating exercises that clearly aggravated my hamstring. I also researched this injury thoroughly and tried to rehab it on my own. Nothing that I attempted improved this injury. But we always have to give it our very best effort.

Accept Your RealityMy reality was that I was powerless to fix this or work around it. This was humbling to accept as a fitness professional. Even doing nothing it worse! Once I admitted this to myself, I could take the next step. Eventually, the reality of any given situation must be accepted before we can move forward.

Find the Right Kind of Support for YouI visited a highly-regarded orthopedic surgeon, who referred me to a physical therapist. But only after hundreds of dollars, months wasted, and additional problems brought on by the prescribed treatment, did it become painfully clear that I had not found the right support. That physical therapy practice was great for many people, but not for me. Frustrated, I went online to seek out an alternative physical therapist, where I found, after a brief search, an independent physical therapist who turned out to be a game-changer for me. Support is important. The right kind of support is crucial.

Change Your PerspectiveWhen I started working with my physical therapist, Steve, I was physically hurting and mentally beat down, too mired in my own frustration to see anything beyond my perceived overwhelming limitations. My outlook was pretty pessimistic but Steve provided a much-needed objective view of my situation. He didnt just prescribe me exercises, he helped me to change my approach, recommit to my rehab and exercise program and resume taking care of myself in areas I had let go. This is the role I have played for my clients but in this scenario, I was unable to do it for myself. It is totally possible to do shift our mindset on our own, but sometimes we need an objective reminder from outside of ourselves. Either way, if we cant change our thinking and approach, we cant move beyond our limitations.

My hamstring is far from healed. But I have resumed some activities and I can see more on the horizon, with a clearer mind and a renewed sense of confidence. Most importantly, I never entirely gave up hope. We must never give up hope.

Limitations are a part of our physical and mental selves; whether thoughts, beliefs or perceptions or physical issues, injuries or challenges. Its easy to focus on what we feel is missing and much harder to turn our attention to the many capabilities that we do have. I am humbled and grateful for this experience because it reminds me that once we find the correct path, there is always a way forward. Always!

A pre-pandemic fitness class at Jaya Yoga in Windsor Terrace.

Restaurants can accept indoor diners starting today. The Barclays Center will reopen in less than two weeks. And large gyms have been open, albeit at a reduced capacity, since the fall.

But for boutique fitness centers around Brooklyn and across the city, there is no end in sight.

With coronavirus rates trending downward, Governor Andrew Cuomo is slowly allowing different sectors of the economy to reopen. But in New York City, small fitness centers are still prohibited from offering classes, leading to exasperation and anger from business owners who say the rules are misguided and unfair.

Now, nearly 80 such business owners, along with over a dozen elected officials and civic groups, have signed on to a letter by Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams calling on Mayor Bill de Blasio to allow indoor fitness, dance, yoga and pilates studios to operate indoors at 25% capacity.

If it has been deemed safe to eat and drink with no masks but with proper social distancing, it follows that exercising six feet apart while wearing a mask and observing all safety protocols should be as safe, if not more so, the letter reads.

The letter was signed by several other city and state officials from Brooklyn, including Council Members Justin Brannan, Robert Cornegy, Farah Louis and Alan Maisel as well as State Senator Diane Savino and Assembly Member Peter Abbate. Four Brooklyn business improvement districtsFlatbush Avenue BID, Park Slope 5th Avenue BID, North Flatbush Avenue BID and Atlantic Avenue BIDalso signed on.

Cuomo has permitted gyms and fitness centers across the state to operate since late August, initially at 33% capacity, now at a slightly lower 25%.

But Cuomo gave localities the ability to make their own decisions on when and how to reopen those sites, and though de Blasio allowed city gyms to open on September 2nd, he has not yet permitted classes with two or more people. Thats left the mostly small and midsize fitness centers that rely on such classes unable to generate enough revenue, even as monthly rent and other expenses pile up.

Thats directly affecting not just their business but their personal lives, said Charles Cassara from the United States Fitness Coalition (USFC), an industry group that represents about 2,000 fitness centers across the state. A lot of these people have had to foreclose on their homes, try to take money out, or get loans with high interest rates.

Nationwide, at least 15% of fitness clubs and studios have closed permanently.

Cassaras group filed a lawsuit against the city in the fall in an attempt to overturn de Blasios decision, arguing that there is no evidence fitness classes are more likely to spread coronavirus than regular gyms. Such classes are occurring elsewhere in the state, and Cuomo has presented data showing that gyms and fitness centers account for only .06% of infections with a known source.

But the city has continued to defend the decision; at a press conference this week, health commissioner Dave Chokshi said it was difficult to remain wearing ones mask or face covering, at such classes, and also said its more likely for the mask or face covering to become wet or moist, which also makes them less effective.

Fitness studio owners say that argument is ridiculous.

Theres just not an understanding of what goes on in a group fitness class, said Amanda Freeman, co-found of the Boutique Fitness Alliance and owner of SLT, a fitness studio chain with 26 locations, half of which are in New York State.

In SLT locations outside the city, where group classes are allowed, Freeman says shes introduced strict safety protocols, including reduced class sizes, more frequent cleaning, machines spaced six feet apart, contract tracing and, of course, a mask requirement. USFC has also published safety guidelines for members to follow.

SLTs nine locations in the five boroughs, meanwhile, have been limited to private sessions. Some, including a location in Park Slope, have simply remained closed entirely since the pandemic began nearly 11 months ago, forcing Freeman to lay off staff.

Theyve been able to collect unemployment, she said, but theyve all had to reevaluate their careers and futures and whats important, and some have left the city.

Freeman speculated that the citys distinction between large gyms and boutique fitness centers might have more to do with who the fitness centers serve.

I just believe there is some discrimination against us because we are largely women-owned and run, we employ a lot of women and our clientele is largely women, she said.

Cassara also believes that the power and resources of larger corporate gyms, many of them members of the global industry group IHRSA, have given them the ability to shape reopening guidelines in their favor.

Whereas the boutique fitness gyms are just sitting out here and were pushed to the side, he said.

Whatever the citys motivation, Adams and other elected officials say its time to change course.

It is time for the City to treat these small businesses equally, their letter concludes, and to allow them the same chance at recovery as all the others.

Nearly 80% of people who make New Years Resolutions have dropped them by the second week of February. AWOL Fitness expert Lynch Hunt shows you how to stay on track.

GREENSBORO, N.C. We're now a month and a half into 2021 and if you started the year with a goal of working out, you may be feeling some burnout already.

Fitness expert Lynch Hunt says that's not unusual. He says nearly 80% of people who make New Years Resolutions have dropped them by the second week of February.

Hunt, who owns AWOL Fitness in Greensboro offers three ways to stay motivated, stay on track and focused on your goals.

1. Accountability:(friend, community, coach, or an app that logs or tracks your activity)

"We are able to keep people moving towards their goals this time of year because we use the right accountability. You need a friend, you need a partner, you need a coach, you need a community or even an app to keep you on track. This type of accountability is going to make you 80% more active," said Hunt.

"Action changes things and 20% of the right action is going to take care of 80% of your results. So the right accountability will have you doing the right action for you to get the right results or the right accomplishments," said Hunt.

3. Accomplishment- or small wins:

"Accomplishments or achievements lead to small wins. And small wins give you the confidence that gives you the ability to believe in your own abilities to perform well. Ultimately, that turns into empowerment and that keeps you going and growing in the direction of your goals."

If you have a Fitness Friday question you can reach out to Coach Lynch Hunt at AWOL fitness on social media or by clicking here.
