Riding a bike is one way to get moving and burn calories.

There are countless ways to get moving and exercise (yes, even while many gyms remain closed). If the idea ofburning a ton of calories during a workout motivates you, then I hate to break it to you, but you may be way overestimating your calorie burn. Especially if you judge the number of calories you burned on factors like how much you sweat or how hard it felt.

While sweat and effort are two ways to tell if you're challenging yourself, the only true way to gauge calorie burn is with an accurate heart rate monitor that takes into account your personal factors, like age, sex, weight and height.

Whether you use a fancy heart rate monitor or other fitness tracker to tell you your calorie burn, it's still good to have an idea of how many calories the most common exercises burn when heading into your workouts. Keep reading to find out how many calories common exercises burn and how to figure out your own personal calorie burn during workouts.

Our Health & Wellness newsletter puts the best products, updates and advice in your inbox.

Professional fitness trainer Brooke Taylor explainsthat the main factors that differentiate how many calories you burn in exercise include:

Heart rate training zone: You'll want to figure out your target heart rate and your maximum heart rate zones to better understand what to aim for when you exercise.

Resting heart rate: A normal resting heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute.

Weight: In general, the more you weigh, the more calories you will burn during exercise.

Types of exercise: Cardio-based workouts burn more calories than other types of workouts like lifting weights or yoga.

Even though everyone is different, there are general estimates for how many calories you can burn when you exercise. The estimates below are calculated based on someone who weighs 130 pounds, based on theAmerican Council on Exercise (ACE) calculator. You can use that calculator to get a close estimate of how many calories you would burn during many common activities.

Running for 30 minutes burns about 206 calories.

206 calories per 30 minutes

Running at even a slow pace burns a lot of calories for 30 minutes. On average, running burns between 10.8 to 16 calories per minute and putting it at the top of the list of workouts that burn the most calories. To up the calorie burn, increase the intensity or add in sprint intervals.

176 calories per 30 minutes

Hiking is one of the best ways to escape to the outdoors, turn off technology and get in some movement. And since you're not walking on a level path like walking down the street, navigating different terrains or hills challenges more muscles, so you burn more calories.

117 calories per 30 minutes

If you're an avid biker, you may go faster than 5.5 mph, but if you tend to bike at a leisurely pace, you can still burn 117 calories per 30 minutes. Note that this is different than if you do interval training or classes on spin bikes.

115 calories per 10 minutes

Let out your inner kid and take upjump ropefor a surprisingly fast way to burn a ton of calories. Just 10 minutes of jumping rope burns 115 calories.

Walking is a simple exercise that can help you burn calories.

97 calories per 30 minutes

Walking is the most simple and accessible form of exercise. And if you're anything like me, you rely on walks for much needed breaks from the house while in quarantine. Even if you don't walk for 30 minutes or longer on every walk, all of the short walks you take add up throughout the day.

88 calories per 30 minutes

Although not the quickest way to burn calories, lifting weights increases strength, muscle tone and enhances your metabolism. The more muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn at rest.

73 calories per 30 minutes

While stretching or restorative yoga may not burn a ton of calories, it still warrants a well-deserved spot in your weekly workout lineup for enhanced mobility, flexibility, recovery and tension relief.

My breakfast: Before having breakfast, I had a cup of turmeric water, which is usually raw turmeric boiled in water. It also helped me beat acne issues and give me clear skin.

After this, I used to have my main meal, which was yoghurt/milk with granola with a fruit apple or banana. I used to switch it up with toasted multigrain bread with some sauteed vegetables.

P.S.- I baked my own granola at home so I knew it was all healthy.

My lunch: I used to take my lunch at around 1 in the afternoon. I feel it's really important to time your meals well. I usually ate one of two multigrain chapatis with homemade subzi.

I preferred having seasonal veggies and avoided potatoes and rice. With my meals, I always had some curd of lassi and one serving of salad/kachumber.

Sometime after my lunch, I would drink a cup of green tea, which helped with digestion. And, one thing I always do after having my food is to sit in 'vajrasana', which smoothes digestion and improves body posture.

My dinner: Now this was the only meal I really skipped. By skipped, I mean I usually had some dry fruits with black coffee or chana salad during evening snack time. And, if I was ever hungry, I just ate something like a bowl of dalia before 6 pm and this was very rare.

Pre-workout meal: I begin my workouts in the morning empty stomach, but sometimes, I just have one cup of black coffee.

Post-workout meal: One glass of warm water with a little bit of lemon juice, followed by breakfast.

I indulge in (What you eat on your cheat days): Well, I am a big foodie and love eating everything-from aloo puri, pizza, burgers. Maggi was my comfort food. But now, I avoid having them altogether. Sometimes, I can't believe that I have gone without having these for so long. I only make exceptions on festivals, but then I compensate by working out twice as hard.

My workout: My workout included 30 minutes of cardio, which I later switched it up with morning walk, which was a nice warmup move. Later, I used to follow it up with 30 minutes of abs and legs moves.

On days I felt tired, I used to do yoga or pilates.

Also, I love dancing, so I try to dance every day for 20-30 minutes every evening.

Low-calorie recipes I swear by: Oats and vermicelli pulao or jhalmuri.

Ross Mathews has earned a reputation for being brutally honest (and funny!) in his role as a television host, and so it comes as no surprise that he's getting real about losing weight during the pandemic. The frequent E! Network correspondent is celebrating a milestone on a new health journey that he's kicked off in 2020: Ross has lost 50 pounds after first deciding to take charge of his health.

This content is imported from Instagram. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

On Instagram, the 41-year-old personality explained he's now about 50 pounds slimmer from his heaviest weight ever, while 5 months into a brand new routine one that was actually inspired by a personal tragedy. "Breaking the pattern. 50lbs down today from my height in early June when I decided to reclaim my health after my mom died," Ross told fans in November.

Ross has been sharing snippets on Instagram of his year in quarantine, mostly inside cozy homes while socially distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic, while occasionally filming new projects (like 25 Words or Less!). But friends and fans first noticed his trim figure in playful snapshots: "You look happy and gorgeous," Carnie Wilson, of the musical group Wilson Phillips, shared on Ross' Insta shot of a vibrant new outfit.

This isn't the first time that Ross has directly opened up about his weight, as he appeared on Celebrity Fit Club in 2007 after entertaining audiences as the "intern" on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in the early 2000s.

"I will always be a work in progress," he continued on Instagram. "I may mess up again. I dunno. All I know is that I'm very grateful. And very happy. On we go"

In a revealing interview with NBC's Today, Ross explained how he managed to optimize his diet and introduce more exercise into his routine and how his drive for change stemmed from his mother's passing earlier this year. Below, how Ross has tackled weight loss and exercise amid a year of many challenges, in his own words.

On Instagram, Ross has shared more of his devastation following the death of his 69-year-old mother, Gaye, to breast cancer in May. "I can't imagine a world without her. Will colors be less vibrant? Flavors dulled?" he quipped in an emotional public tribute. "She was my audience of one, my head cheerleader, my VIP. And now she's gone, taken before any of us were ready."

But Ross also said that it was his goal to tackle life with gusto, just as his mother had. "I hope no, I know that her spirit lives within me and I will spend the rest of my life trying to be as good as she was, as kind as she was, and authentic as she was. I am who I am because of how she loved me. We should all be so lucky."

Speaking with NBC's Today, Ross admitted that his mother's death prompted him to reevaluate his own health after the pain it caused. "My mom and I were so close, just beyond close, and all my life, I've lost weight and gained weight, done unhealthy things to my body," he said. "And I decided, you know, this is the one thing I can control and what I can gain in this time when we're losing so much Because I think if you lose a parent, and you don't pay attention, you're missing out on a gift. And so I paid attention to what it means to have your health."

I feel like everyone during this COVID thing has been focused on what we've been losing, Ross told Today. You know, I've lost time from my family. I've lost time from my job. I've lost this and everyone feels like they've lost a year. And I just thought: How can I gain something during this time?

Ross adds that he couldn't justify weight gain during the pandemic in his own life after losing his mother in May. I refuse to do that. I want to come out of this in a better position than when I entered it. The reason? Because I can," he said. "I have a choice. I have the power to choose that. Not to be totally a cheese-fest, but I think any other choice that I made would be disrespectful to what my mother's death taught me.

Believe it or not, Ross has had to face the loss of a parent to cancer before this year, back in 2004, when his father died due to the disease. It's reportedly why Ross quit smoking cigarettes after college, and the loss first challenged him to think more about his own health and the reason why he signed up for Celebrity Fit Club in the first place.

"I was 230 pounds at the end of college. I got it down 16 pounds by making decisions like eating a bag of baked Lays as opposed to a bag of Cheetos. But I didn't attack the real issue," Ross told People magazine back in 2007, revealing why he began openly discussing his health. "My father had passed away. It made me take inventory of my life, to say, it's now or never."

Believe it or not, Ross doesn't credit any particular diet to his weight loss this year he's made holistic health choices across the board after taking time to learn about proper nutrition. It's a shift in his diet that he plans to maintain forever, rather than a short-term diet. "I didn't do a real diet," he told Today. "I just started learning about food, talking to people, dabbling in this and that and then I started making my 'Rosscipes'. I've done it just eating as healthy and health-fully as I can, while not feeling like I'm giving up anything.

Because he doesn't follow any one particular diet, Ross is practicing moderation (a key component of intuitive eating!) and adapting some of his favorite recipes to be a bit lighter. "As I am learning how to eat healthy, I don't want to give up what I love," he said in a recipe video, shared on Instagram in September, as what he likes to call a 'Rosscipe.' "I met with a nutritionist when I decided it was time to get healthy It's the middle of a pandemic, and I'm grieving, as I've lost my mom. I said, 'I'm not going to cut out alcohol, honey. Not going to happen.'"

He's gone on to share recipes for things like lighter chicken tacos, better-for-you lasagna, and bountiful taco salads on his profile, sharing some of the tips and tricks he's incorporating into his life (all without cutting out entire food groups!).

In 2007, after his appearance on Celebrity Fit Club, Ross made his opinions about fitness and gym routines quite clear: "Exercise sucks. It will never not [suck]," he told People magazine at the time. "The reason it feels good when you're done, is that you're done."

His feelings about the gym haven't really changed since then, but one thing is for certain Ross is staying active as possible these days to change his health. And it's an activity that's free(!) and doesn't require you to head to the gym. "I just moved to New York City, so I'm walking tons, which helps," he told Today. "There's nothing scarier than the gym. I'd rather watch those awful Halloween movies over and over again. Yeah, the gym is not for me."

"Snacking at night is my downfall," Ross told Today. I'll be pretty good during the day, and then it's like, a bag of Doritos at night, because I'm sorry, but when you're watching 90 Day Fianc, you gotta eat something!"

He changed his snacking habits by adjusting meal times and reaching for items that were less of a drag on his diet. "It was about cutting out snacking or, if I did, I would snack on like, a pickle or something. I was looking for the crunch," he explained. "It was about replacing some things and really just knowing that if nothing changed, nothing changed. That if I didn't make some changes, I would be stuck in the same unhealthy place that I was."

For Ross, working on his health was much more than achieving a slim waistline which is why he began therapy in 2020. I promise you I will mess up along the way, but the thing that is different this time is that I talked to a therapist throughout this process, he told Today. I really wanted to understand why I could lose it but not maintain it, because losing is not the problem, gaining it is not the problem maintaining is the problem."

Ross believes that the therapist has helped him make a more sustainable commitment to his health now than ever before. "I think you have to get down to the root of that and all weight-related issues are not really about the food, I don't think. I think it's about why you're overeating? What are you pushing down by shoving food in?

Ross Mathews' Weight Loss and Fitness Journey In His Own Words - GoodHousekeeping.com

For a long time, gymnastics was a game of numbers for Kathryn Chia.

On the competition floor, scores were an indication of her ability. Off it, the figures on the weighing scale determined the former rhythmic gymnast's self-worth.

At 14, Kathryn's daily diet comprised six grapes for breakfast, 20 baby spinach leaves and three mushrooms for lunch, and half a cup of milk for dinner. Meals with family and friends became a dreaded affair for her because she was afraid that they would ask her to eat more than she wanted to.

Her insecurities about her body were further compounded by coaches who constantly remarked on her body. One was a former coach in the national rhythmic gymnastics set-upwho continually stressed the need to be slim. Kathryn, who was under that coach for several weeks, trained at the national training centre from April to October last year.

Kathryn, now 16, said: "I was feeling particularly self-conscious and we were being pressured to lose weight.

"Not only did it hurt me mentally because I was always comparing myself to others and thinking about what I would eat and coming to training feeling a bit self-conscious, it really took away my passion for the sport."

Wanting to start conversations about this topic in the gymnastics community, Kathryn, who moved to England to study in September, published a post about how she and 15 other local gymnasts struggled with body image issues on her website, ApotheKathryn.

Another Singapore gymnast, who declined to be named, resorted to eating a fruit a day out of fear that she would be punished by her coach in school for not losing weight.

Such punishments included being forced to issue an apology and exercising till the point that she felt faint.

Singapore Gymnastics general manager Karen Norden yesterday emphasised the association does not tolerate body-shaming and said it has been working with the Singapore Sport Institute and the National Youth Sports Institute to come up with programmes to educate parents, athletes and coaches.

She added: "There is still some hesitation for these types of things to be discussed and even brought to our attention."

The governing body has five safeguarding officers, with two assigned to monitor athletes at the national training centre daily. It also plans to hire an athletes' health performance manager to oversee its gymnasts and will conduct surveys with athletes to better understand their concerns.

In recent months, gymnasts worldwide have broken their silence on the abuse they endured during their careers. The release of Netflix documentary Athlete A and the #GymnastAlliance movement this year have played a huge role in emboldening athletes globally to come forward. The film details how former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar abused the girls and young women in his care and how the association hid his misdeeds.

In Singapore, former national women's artistic gymnastics head coach Gerrit Beltman admitted to a Dutch newspaper in July to having previously "mistreated and humiliated young gymnasts to win medals" prior to his appointment at Singapore Gymnastics in August last year.

The Dutchman resigned from his post that same month to return to the Netherlands to be with his family but told The Straits Times that he wants to be accountable and not be the person and coach he once was and that he hoped to contribute to the process of change.

Following the spate of abuse scandals, the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) held a conference last month aimed at changing the practices in the sport and improving athlete safety.

The reports inspired those outside gymnastics too, with former national figure skater Yu Shuran, a 2017 SEA Games gold medallist, coming forward to reveal the horrific practices that were part of her practice regimen while she was training in China.

Athletes in sports that focus heavily on how one looks are at a higher risk of developing body image issues, said sports psychologist Edgar Tham from SportPsych Consulting.

He added: "Unfortunately, that's what the culture of the sport propagates - if you fit in, you'll be able to stay. If you don't, you either find a way to fit or drop out."

National synchronised swimmer Debbie Soh, who spoke to ST earlier this year about her struggles with body image, understands what it is like to deal with the pressures that Kathryn faced.

"When we join the sport, we don't expect that this is what comes with it," said Soh, 22, and a five-gold SEA Games champion.

"Puberty changes your body a lot and a lot of girls don't know how to deal with it. Sometimes coaches don't realise that young girls are very insecure about their bodies, especially when it's changing."

Coaches ST spoke to emphasised the need to approach weight-related issues carefully.

Victoria Karpenko, founder and head coach of Karpenko Gymnastics Academy here, described the situation as hugely disappointing.

The two-time Russian rhythmic gymnastics national champion, 33, said: "I have seen it myself when competing and coaching over 30 years in the sport and not enough progress seems to have been made. Some girls are naturally leaner than others and it is heartbreaking to see those who are not so being targeted by coaches."

Cherrie Kwek, Releve Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy head coach and founder, does not pressure any of the gymnasts she coaches to lose weight, but has seen several young gymnasts resort to drastic measures to do so.

Although the reason behind it may not always be linked to the sport, the 29-year-old and former national gymnast believes it is crucial for coaches to intervene quickly in such situations.

Former national artistic gymnast Lim Heem Wei, who is now a coach at Singapore Gymnastics, noted the importance of being tactful when approaching weight-related issues as different athletes may perceive the same remark differently.

In some cases, Lim, the country's first gymnast to compete at the Olympics, said she would talk to the parent instead of raising the matter directly with the athlete. A dietitian or nutritionist and psychologist may also be involved in the process to make sure the athlete's well-being is taken care of.

With weight and body image issues just two of the deep-seated problems that plague the sport worldwide, the 31-year-old believes a paradigm shift is required.

"It needs to be a culture across the entire national sports association to make sure there is awareness and education. It's not a one-off thing - it has to be constant, it has to be very structured so that it becomes the norm," she said.

Tham, who has accompanied the Singapore contingent to major sports events like the Olympics and Asian Games, said that if not dealt with properly, negative body image could lead to athletes developing eating disorders.

"Sometimes it's so subtle that they don't even know," he added.

There could also be adverse effects on the athlete's mental health as they may experience social physique anxiety, which makes them extremely self-conscious around others.

Tham said: "There could be athletes who are suffering in silence without knowing that others are going through the same thing. There's the need to raise awareness to watch out for signs, symptoms or certain mindsets that helps them to put a red flag to things if they see something."

People often say that the best way to lose weight is by eating healthy and in a moderate amount. But a new and interesting study says that working out six days a week, or around 300 minutes a week can help you lose weight. The study emphasized that you should be burning roughly 3,000 calories a week to get the desired result. Well, that goes beyond the recommended 30 minutes workout for 5 days a week physical activity guideline. Also Read - New Research Reveals COVID-19 Antibodies May Fade Rapidly, Read On!

The fascinating research was published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise analysed a group of 44 overweight men and women, between the age of 18-year-old to 49-year-old who was picked by the researchers. The participants were divided into groups where they were asked to work out six days a week, two days a week, and those who didnt exercise at all. The participants can choose to either run, walk, or lift weights. The study found out that those who worked out six days a week burned a maximum amount of calories and body fat. At the end of the study, those in the first group simply burned more calories and lost more body fat. Also Read - Fardeen Khan's Weight Loss Journey: How he Lost 18 Kgs in 6 Months at 46

The study which was led by Kyle Flack, an assistant professor at the University of Kentucky said that people need to burn around 3,000 calories per week through exercise if they want to see significant weight loss, which creates a tricky slope when it comes to the relationship between exercise and eating.

The research also shed light that participants who burned 3,000 calories a week showed changes in their bodies levels of leptin, an appetite hormone that reduces appetite.

When you start working out, you tend to eat more in order to refuel thats because your appetite increases. Exercise isnt useless for weight loss, but we do tend to eat more when we exercise, which offsets some of the calories that we have burned, Flack said in a press release. Both groups compensated about 1,000 calories per week more because they were exercising, which was mostly due to eating more. Their metabolic rate only decreased slightly.

So, if you planning to shed those extra kilos, as per the study you must workout for 300 minutes per week to reach your goal weight.

How do you stay motivated?

My body experienced very evident results which helped me to get going. I focused one day at a time and not the big goal, though weight loss wouldn't be possible at all my vision of playing professional cricket again which had apparently stopped because of getting obese. Along with this, turning to meditation and spirituality helped me a lot.

How do you ensure you dont lose focus?

Once I started to give my body the breaks it needed and better understand my needs, I felt way better. My regime worked to deliver consistent results as well. There were days I felt tired and drained to exercise, so I would compensate by consuming fewer calories. It all became a good change. I fell in love with the process and never really lost focus or out of faith!

Whats the most difficult part of being overweight?

The tasks which I can easily do, I couldn't do that.

My wardrobe changed exceptionally- all I had were big, oversized clothes.

More than that, my weight made it difficult to continue playing cricket and I was forced to take a break. It was so disappointing.

The extra problems that come with it, I suffered depression due to my weight gain, I felt so lost, confused and sad. People's perception about you changes, friendships fall apart and you get sleepless nights. I had no schedule or discipline before.

Weight loss story: " I started having Jowar and Bajra rotis and lost 30 kilos" - Times of India

Jowar or sorghum is a kind of finger millet which is filled with supreme cancer-fighting antioxidants and the most dietary fibre, in comparison to other grains. It also comes packed with helpful vitamins and minerals including iron, folate, protein and calcium in it. A high concentrate of fibre content in the flour helps induce satiety and thereby, keeps you fuller for longer, restricting overall calorie intake and promotes weight loss. Fortified vitamin content also helps cut down the risk of comorbidities which can contribute to a growing waistline.

Jowar is also good for our digestive system, which further speeds up the release of bad toxins and free radicals from the system. It is also gluten-free, so can be easily enjoyed by people who are gluten intolerant or trying to avoid it in the first place.

Some studies have also said that regular consumption of jowar can lower diabetes risk, fight pre-diabetes and stabilize blood pressure readings. Here's how this guy consumed jowar to lose weight in less than a year

George Clooney's preparation for his role in Netflix's "The Midnight Sky" landed the actor in the hospital.

Just days before he was set to begin filming the sci-fi drama,the 59-year-old actor was rushed to the hospital withstomach pains, the U.K.'s the Mirrorfirst reported. There, he was diagnosed with pancreatitis and has since made a full recovery, the outlet and Fox News has confirmed.

Clooney spoke up about his preparation for the role and said his diet was a factor that led to his hospitalization.

"I think I was trying too hard to lose the weight quickly and probably wasn't taking care of myself," he said.

Clooney directs and acts in the film. He takes on the role of a cancer-stricken scientist who, opposite Felicity Jones and David Oyelowo, aims to help solve a global catastrophe.

The actor called the project "bigger than anything I've done before." Some of the filming took place in Finland.

According to the Mirror, Clooney lost nearly 28 pounds for the role. His hospitalization certainly wasn't ideal. He said it"wasn't easy because you need energy" as a director.

In addition to weight loss, Clooney's role required him to stop shaving. The actor sports a bushy beard in the film.

GEORGE CLOONEY PENS AN ESSAY ABOUT 'OUR PANDEMIC' OF SYSTEMIC RACISM

"I grew a big ugly beard and my son [Alexander] loved it because hed hide things in it which I wouldnt know about until I got to work and Id be like, Oh, theres a popsicle stuck in my beard,'" he recalled.

Clooney's wife Amal, 42, and his daughter, Ella, however, were "really happy" to see the extra facial hair come off.

"It was very hard to find a face underneath all that mess," he said.

As for present-day, the actor, his wife and twins have been living in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angelesfor the past 10 months amid the coronavirus pandemic. The couple previously lived in Italy, and also have a home in England.

After the toll the film and filming locations took out of him, Clooney said living in Los Angeles has been "a lot easier" mainly because of the weather. He also hinted at his approval of companies eagerly working to create a COVID-19 vaccine.

"These drug companies have done an amazing job and we're almost there so it would be really stupid to blow it now," Clooney said of the possibility of moving out of California anytime soon. "So we're staying here and we'll do Christmas here."

Aside from his new movie, released on Dec. 11, Clooney gushed about his at-home life with Amal, whom he said he is fortunate to have by his side.

"It's just the two of us having dinner together every night and we never run out of conversation. We couldn't be happier with our lives and we couldn't feel luckier," Clooney said.

He joked that having a woman around the house is certainly a change from his previous "broke bachelor" lifestyle.

"I did my own laundry and washed dishes and mopped, and I painted the entire interior and exterior of my house. And now it's just the four of us here and so I'm back to doing all of that," he added.

GEORGE CLOONEY REVEALS HOPE FOR AMERICA'S FUTURE AFTER ITS 'GREAT DEAL' OF FAILURES: 'YOU CAN'T GIVE UP'

Last week, the Oscar-winning performer lamented the "rotten" year of 2020, and shared some hope for the future stability of the world.

2020 was a pretty rotten year, all the way around, Clooney toldYahoo! Entertainmentwhile speaking about his Netflixfilm.Starting withKobe Bryantdying. Its been one catastrophe after another.

Have you ever come across a product that promises to lose weight in a short time and with minimal effort? Some of the characteristics of these are that they have exaggerated publicity, offer you extraordinary benefits, as well as surprising healing properties.

But you should know that all this is not supported by scientific studies that endorse it, so you must be very careful with them. The Federal Consumer Protection Law (LFPC), in article 32, defines misleading advertising that refers to characteristics or information related to some good, product or service that, whether or not they are true, mislead or confuse the consumer by the inaccurate, false, exaggerated, partial, artificial or tendentious way in which it is presented.

Boris Johnsons appeal to Britons to slim down in response to the pandemic has not helped most people lose weight, according to new research calling for a far more wide-ranging response to the obesity crisis.

Warnings about the potential added risks Covid-19 poses to people with obesity are largely ineffective, the study found. It said ministers placed too much emphasis on individual willpower and not enough on the environmental and economic aspects of obesity.

A Social Market Foundation (SMF) study said bigger obstacles needed to be tackled, such as food deserts areas of more than a million people where poverty, poor transport and a lack of large supermarkets limit access to cheap fruit and vegetables.

A survey conducted for SMF found that only 28% of people who describe themselves as living with obesity said they were taking steps to lose weight because of the pandemic.

The thinktank found that while this was higher than the 20% of the general population taking steps to lose weight, it still indicates that government messages on overweight and Covid have done little to help people with obesity address their condition.

Meanwhile, 37% of those living with obesity report they have not yet taken steps to lose weight, but are thinking about doing so. Almost three in 10 (28%) reported the Covid crisis would not lead them to lose weight.

There is now a clear link between obesity and the risk of a severe response to Covid. It increases the risk of dying from the disease by nearly 50% and may make vaccines less effective, according to a study by the University of North Carolina, the Saudi Health Council and the World Bank. Nearly a third (27%) of people with obesity surveyed in the SMF/Opinium poll, said their diet had deteriorated in the pandemic, and 31% said it had led them to do less exercise.

Johnson, who launched the anti-obesity strategy this summer, was said to have become passionate about the issue after his severe bout of Covid. The strategy includes advertisements across all media, and plans are being drawn up to ban online junk food ads the toughest digital marketing restrictions in the world. . However, the National Audit Office has warned that the government will not, as planned, halve childhood obesity in England by 2030.

SMF said there was no mention of the strategy in last months public spending review, and criticised a lack of clarity around who will take it forward after the abolition of Public Health England. Scott Corfe, SMFs research director, said the governments warnings about Covid risks and obesity were well-meaning but largely ineffective.

Corfe added: The idea that obesity is purely a matter of individual choice and willpower is temptingly simple but the facts are more complicated. Low incomes, poor transport, a lack of green spaces and safe streets, mental health problems these are all factors that make it harder for people to lose weight, and obesity policies need to take more account of that.

A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Social Care said: The urgency of tackling obesity has been brought to the fore by evidence of the link to an increased risk from Covid-19 and we recently launched a world leading strategy to help reduce obesity rates and help everyone live healthier lives.

The government has already taken significant action cutting sugar from half of drinks on sale, restricting unhealthy food adverts on TV before 9pm and we are consulting on how we could go further and introduce a total online ban. We will say more on plans to expand weight management services shortly.
