How we approach the management of type 2 diabetes has changed enormously in just the past 5 years. Previously, clinicians took the approach of managing the clinical risk factors of diabetes such as elevated glucose and lipids, usually with additional, more potent medications. Some patients might have been advised to try and lose 5-10% of their body weight by eating less fat and reducing portion sizes. However, the idea that you could get people off their diabetes medications completely with diet was rarely mentioned. In fact, when I was working as a dietitian in the UKs National Health Service back in 2008, I never heard the word remission in a conversation about type 2 diabetes.

The huge challenge is helping people to maintain their weight loss.

With the publication of the Diabetes Remission Clinical Trial (DiRECT) in 2017, this all changed. This landmark study showed that an intensive dietary intervention, aiming for a 15-kg maintained weight loss, delivered within primary care could help 46% of people achieve remission of their diabetes. This was defined as a non-diabetic blood glucose level while not having taken diabetes medications for 2 months. Remission was closely linked to weight 86% of people who lost or maintained more than 15 kg at 1 year achieved remission; reducing to 57% of people who lost and maintained 10 15 kg. If people lost 0 5 kg, their chance of remission was 7%.

The huge challenge is helping people to maintain their weight loss. With enough weight regain (as little as 3 4 kg) people can relapse back into type 2 diabetes. Right now, type 2 diabetes remission is based on achieving and maintaining weight loss. What if we could help people lower their blood glucose substantially below the diabetic threshold without losing weight? Or, maybe without losing so much weight? This would be much more achievable because losing and maintaining a very large weight loss is extremely difficult.

The solution may be a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet. A number of studies have been published by different research groups showing that a diet which provides about 20 30% of its calories from carbohydrate, and 30% from protein can lower blood glucose in people without type 2 diabetes without weight loss. This is just less than half of the carbohydrate a person usually eats, and about double the protein the rest is made up of fat. However, we dont know whether its the reduction in carbohydrate or the increase in protein which is responsible for the beneficial effects. This is important to understand so we can give patients the most accurate advice.

I was awarded funding from the Diabetes Research and Wellness Foundation to look at this question. In our current study we are providing a low-carbohydrate diet to volunteers with type 2 diabetes, and then adding in, and removing extra protein in a randomized order. Half of the participants will have 15% of calories from protein for 2 weeks, then 30% for another 2 weeks, and the other half vice versa. We are measuring blood glucose using a continuous glucose monitoring device. We expect to publish the results in late summer 2021.

Similar work is being done by a team in Tennessee who are carrying out the worlds first high-protein remission trial. This will help us understand the longer-term effect of increasing the protein of the diet and reducing carbohydrate on remission of type 2 diabetes. This study will include 30% of calories from protein and 40% from carbohydrate.

Protein is thought to work by helping the beta-cells produce more insulin at mealtimes. The amino acids that make up protein are insulinogenic meaning they stimulate the production (and release) of insulin. It is known that the amount of amino acids circulating in the blood after a high-protein meal is higher than after a low-protein meal and the extra amino acids promote a greater insulin response. Adding protein to a meal is known to lower blood glucose in people with and without type 2 diabetes. But whether this works long-term is not known. If it does this could be exciting for people who want to get remission of type 2 diabetes but cant lose or dont want to lose a lot of weight. Its vital we follow this line of research.

I see many patients who have embarked on an intensive weight loss programme either on their own or on the instruction of a healthcare professional after seeing the news that this could help them come off their diabetes medications. Some of these patients have been very slim to begin with and some were frail afterwards. In fact, some of them came to see me to ask how they could regain weight without getting diabetes back. If we could figure out ways to lower blood glucose which dont rely on lots of weight loss to do it, we could offer these patients a way to put their diabetes into remission while keeping their sense of well-being.

For many people, the coronavirus pandemic has changed their nutrition and exercise habits. One app helping people track their food and lose weight is called Lifesum. The company has scaled rapidly to 45 million users and boasts partnerships with Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Nike (NYSE:NKE).

Fool.com's Healthcare and Cannabis Bureau Chief Corinne Cardina chatted with Lifesum's CEO Henrik Torstensson about the digital health and wellness space.

Corinne Cardina: How has the health and wellness industry evolved over the last couple of decades, and more recently, how has the coronavirus pandemic impacted how people view their health and the role of technology?

Henrik Torstensson: Healthcare and wellness is obviously an enormous part of the economy. It's $2 trillion in the U.S. alone. It's probably maybe the biggest market we have. In digital, it's been ramping up, but it's been a fairly slow start because it's a complex system. You have individuals, you have insurance companies, you have state governments, federal governments that all have interests. It was picking up speed. This year with COVID and Corona, that really the same way we all ended up on Zoom for most of the year, and that really made having virtual meetings really a default way of operating. Healthcare is coming in the same way that it's really taking a step from, OK, this is happening a little bit at the edges, to becoming this central thrust of healthcare and the overall market.

Cardina: Yeah, great point.

Gary Barlow has opened up about his weight issues after leaving Take That, saying his size ballooned when he lost control of himself when it came to food.

The singer is about to release a new album, which features a duet with TVs James Corden, and ahead of the release the Gavin and Stacey star asked for some weight loss tips.

Speaking via a Zoom call with Corden, Barlow admitted to his past issues with managing his weight and his food intake.

He said: "I had a rough period with food that Im not proud of, where I really lost control of myself. I remember one particular day just thinking: How have I got here? I was just so disappointed with myself.

So coming back from somewhere like that is a bit more serious than: Oh, I want to lose a couple of stone here. It was more of a condition that just couldnt continue.

"So it started there for me and I turned my brain on to sorting out what I ate. The trouble is the food I love Chinese, chips, crisps. They were giving me a couple minutes of a food coma, taking me out of the real world. Its just not good, that.

He went on to suggest people losing weight keep a food diary, as if you have to write something down when you eat something naughty, you are less likely to do it.

Barlow has been candid about his issues with weight before and has discussed how Take That disbanding in 1996 had an impact on his wellbeing.

Appearing on Lorraine in 2018 he said: I was trying to kill off the popstar, thats what I was doing I was eating away what a popstar looked like. I was just killing him off. Stopped dying the hair, stopped buying nice clothes, just wanted to look the opposite, physically and mentally.

"2003 it was the day when I just went, 'No, Im not having this anymore, Im going to change. I want to change and Im determined that this is not who Ive become."

Vegan! Paleo! 5-2 Fasting! The sheer number of trendy diets out there can make your head spin, and each one has its army of true believers, who post all over Instagram about how awesome they feel after giving up carbs/sugar/meat/dinner. But which one of these diets can really help you lose the weight and, more importantly, keep it off long-term? Experts talk about the good, the bad, and the hungry.

1Mediterranean Diet

Based on the heart-healthy lifestyle of Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, Mediterranean-style diets include healthy fats such as avocados, olive oil, nuts, and fish at least twice a week, plenty of beans, fruit, leafy greens, and whole grains, and even a daily glass of red wine. You can eat cheese in moderation, but limit the red meat to once or twice a week.

RELATED: Hey, Let's Talk About Why You Want to Lose Weight

How it works for weight loss: Though this diet's primary appeal is in its numerous health benefitsit can lower your risk of both chronic disease and cognitive declineit can also lead to weight loss if you limit your calorie intake to 1,500 a day or less. Studies have found that following either a traditional Mediterranean diet or a low-carb version of it can result in weight loss of about 5-10% of body weight over 12 months. And that weight stays offa recent British study found that for people who had lost large amounts of weight, those who consumed a Mediterranean-style diet were twice as likely to keep it off. "This diet is easy to maintain, because the food is delicious!" says Amanda Beaver, R.D. a dietitian at Houston Methodist.

2DASH Diet

The low-sodium Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Diet was designed as a way to help people control their blood pressure without using drugs, though a few books have used it as a basis for a weight-loss diet. DASH emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat or nonfat dairy and limits saturated fat and dietary cholesterol.

How it works for weight loss: You will certainly improve your health with this diet, and if you restrict calories while following DASHs heart-healthy rules, you can lose weight and lower your blood pressure. A recent study found of obese older adults found that those who followed the DASH diet lost weight and decreased body fat, along with many other health benefits. "DASH is one of my favorite diets," says Meridan Zerner, R.D., a dietitian at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas. "You're getting the anti-inflammatory, high fiber, heart-healthy benefits, and if you use a personalized, calorie-limited plan, you can absolutely lose weight."

3WW (formerly Weight Watchers)

Formerly known as Weight Watchers, this diet company has been around so long, your Grandma probably tried it when she was trying to take off the baby weight. With the newest version, myWW+, you get sorted into a color-coded program that assigns you a certain number of points per day (foods are given points based on calories, saturated fat, sugar, and protein)you can eat whatever you want within that range. You can also eat an unlimited amount of 0-point foods (most fruits and veggies and lean proteins such as fish, tofu, beans, eggs, and chicken breast fall into this category). Memberships start at $3.22 a week for a point-tracking app and digital support; $12.69 a week gets you unlimited access to meetings and a personal coach.

How it works for weight loss: Research has consistently found that WW is effective at safely taking off the pounds. A 2013 study found that dieters assigned to WW were more than eight times more likely to lose 10% of their body weight over 6 months than those trying to diet on their own. "There is a lot of evidence that using a tracking app can help you lose weight," says Zerner. She adds that even if you stop tracking every meal, it is easy to maintain weight loss once you internalize which healthy foods are low or 0 points.

4Vegan Diet

Going a step further than the traditional vegetarian diet, vegans shun all animal products, including dairy, eggs, and honey. While many choose this lifestyle for ethical or environmental reasons, some people look to the vegan diet for weight loss as well. And with the new era of plant-based meats, going vegan is easier than ever.

How it works for weight loss: Just going vegan wont necessary help you drop the weight. After all, candy, pasta, and potato chips can all fall under the vegan label without being particularly healthy or low-cal. "If you eat high-quality vegan food, like leafy greens and plant-based proteins, you can lose more weight than either vegetarians or omnivores," says Beaver; studies confirm that those on a plant-based diet have a lower average BMI than those who eat animal products. A 2020 Australian study came to the interesting conclusion that vegans and vegetarians are more likely to stick with the diet over the long run than those on plans such as paleo, because they were motivated by ethical and moral beliefs rather than just weight-loss.

5Flexitarian Diet

Whereas the vegan diet goes one step beyond vegetarianism, the Flexitarian diet takes it one step back, explains Dawn Jackson Blatner, R.D., nutritionist and author of The Flexitarian Diet. "This is a very pro-plant diet, but it gives you the flexibility to have a hot dog at a ballpark, or to eat some turkey at Thanksgiving," she says. There are no strict calorie limitations, though Blatner's book provides a 5-week plan that provides around 1,500 calories a day.

How it works for weight loss: By filling your plate with more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and plant proteins, and sticking with the low-cal plan, you can lose weight and improve your health. A recent review found that people who followed a flexitarian diet had lower BMIs and lower rates of metabolic syndrome than people who regularly ate meat.

6Intermittent Fasting

There are a few different ways to do the intermittent fasting plan: Some people eat whatever they want 5 days a week, then consume a very low calorie diet (usually around 500 calories) on the other 2 days; others restrict their eating to an 8-hour window every day. Say, eating unlimited food between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., and fasting for the other 16 hours.

How it works for weight loss: By limiting your overall calories consumption, youll take off the pounds, says Zerner, who points out that there is some evidence that this diet can also increase your metabolism rate and have other positive health effects. A 2015 meta-study found that people who did intermittent fasting lost about the same amount of weight as those who did a regular calorie-restricted diet.

7Volumetrics DIet

Consistently rated as one of the best diets by U.S. News & World Report, Volumetrics was created by Barbara Rolls, Ph.D., a professor of nutrition at Penn State University. The strategy here is simple: Fill up on foods that provide the most nutrition for the least amount of calories. Foods are divided into four categories, from least energy-dense (fruits, non-starchy vegetables, broth-based soups) to most energy-dense (crackers, cookies, chocolate, nuts, and butter); dieters plan their meals to include as many of the lower-density foods as possible.

How it works for weight loss: The math here is simplethe fewer calories consumed, the more weight you'll drop. A 2016 study found a significant association between low-energy-density diets and weight loss.

8Plant-Based Diet

Similar to a Flexitarian diet, a plant-based diet doesn't have any super-strict rules: You just focus on eating whole foods derived from plants most of the time, with wiggle room for the occasional piece of chicken or scrambled egg. You're basically taking the standard American dietwhich features a big hunk of meat in the center of the plate, with a few vegetables scattered on the sideand flipping that around, so vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, and whole grains, are the star of the show, and beef, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy only make small, cameo appearances when you have a true craving.

How it works for weight loss: Plant-based foods tend to be higher in fiber and lower in fat than animal products, keeping you filled up for fewer calories. According to one large study, overweight and obese adults who followed a plant-based diet for six months lost an average of 26 pounds.

9Skip It: Paleo Diet

The Paleo diet is still getting a lot of buzz, even though it's nearly impossible for modern-day humans to stick with this diet over the long-term. Based on the eating patterns of our Paleolithic ancestors, this diet requires a strict adherence to foods that would have been hunted and gathered, including lean meat, nuts and seeds, fruits and vegetables. While it cuts out processed foods, it also eliminates dairy, grains, beans and legumes. "Any diet that has a glaring list of what's not allowed is going to be very hard to maintain," says Bonnie Taub-Dix, R.D.N., creator of BetterThanDieting.com, author of Read It Before You Eat It. "You want a diet that makes you feel balanced both emotionally and physically." While the elimination of processed food is a good thing, the complete elimination of healthy whole grains can leave you with a shortage of important vitamins and minerals, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

10Skip It: Keto Diet

Sure, you can lose weight initially on this high-fat, low-carb diet, which puts your body into a state of ketosiswith no carbs to burn off for energy, your cells start burning off stored fat. But keeping your body in what is basically a crisis state is not a viable long-term plan, says Kristine Clark, Ph.D., a sports nutritionist at Penn State University, who also points out that the diet can lead to side effects such as headaches, muscle soreness, constipation, and fatigue.

11Skip It: Sirtfood Diet

Kale smoothies are suddenly hot, thanks to Adele's recent weight loss, which newspapers have linked to the strict Sirtfood diet. The diet focuses on the powers of foods that contain a group of proteins called sirtuins, including kale, red wine, strawberries, onions, soy, parsley, matcha tea, and oily fish such as salmon and mackerel. The first phase of the diet involves a lot of green juices and restricted calories, before you move into the maintenance phase. Restricting calories will always result in short-term weight loss, but there have been no independent studies backing up this diet.

12Skip It: The Mayr Diet

Speaking of celebrity weight loss, no one has shown off a more dramatic change this year than Rebel Wilson, who says she's slimmed down with a combination of exercise and the Mayr Method, developed a century ago by an Austrian doctor. What we know about the diet seems legitit involves reducing gluten and dairy, eating high-alkaline foods such as fish and vegetables, and eating slowly and mindfully (including chewing each bite of food at least 40 times!). To get the full Mayr experience, you have to visit a pricey clinic in Austria, so it's best to simply stick with a plant-based diet and remember to eat without distractions, says dietitian Amy Gorin, M.S., R.D.N.

While eggs can be cooked in a variety of ways, it is best to cook it in traditionally used oils like coconut oil if you are trying to lose weight. Commonly used additives like butter can add calories to your meal and sabotage your weight loss plans. These additives also contain saturated and trans-fat, which may lead to health issues such as high cholesterol levels and cardiovascular diseases. Coconut oil, on the contrary, does not contain saturated fats and is considered one of the best oils for weight loss.

One common mistake people tend to make is overcooking the eggs. Cooking eggs make nutrients like protein more digestible. However, overcooking them can result in a reduction of nutrients like antioxidants and vitamins. When eggs are cooked at high temperatures, the cholesterol in them may become oxidized and produce oxysterols, compounds that increase the risk of heart diseases.

Although eggs can be paired with several other foods, it is best to pair them with foods that will be beneficial for your weight loss journey. Vegetables, for instance, are a great choice if you are trying to get rid of the extra kilos. Upgrade your meal with some fibre-rich and healthy veggies like spinach, tomatoes and capsicum. You can add them to an omelette or scrambled eggs, or you can have vegetables on the side.

When it comes to weight loss, it is essential to know the number of calories youre eating. It is best to choose a low-calorie option if you are someone trying to lose weight. Weight watchers should go for either poached or boiled eggs to avoid weight gain.

The concept of a perfect body, although fictitiously set by societal standards, is one that many aspire to understand, achieve, and maintain. Whenever we think of a perfect body to flaunt at the upcoming cousins wedding or a summer beach vacation, we often tend to focus on our body weight and muscle mass.

Watch this video by Sipping Thoughts to hear renowned dietician and nutritionist, Dr. Tina Sapra, talk about why losing weight can be a task, what is water weight, how to choose the right diet, and how to eat the right food, at the right time and in the right quantity.

Dr. Sapra picks up questions that many of you might have thought of but never got your answers.

You might have wondered how your friend could lose weight with half an hour of walking. Whereas, you might take longer durations of walks in addition to some cardio exercises. You may have even tried power yoga yet you lose the same amount of weight as her even after all the extra efforts that you put in.

This is because every individual possesses a different metabolism. The Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the rate of energy expenditure per unit of time. It depends entirely on factors like your age, gender, height, and the kind of activities you do.

While your friend may have a fast metabolic rate, you might need to increase yours to burn as many calories as her in the same amount of time.

The diet plays a role of equal importance, if not more, to improve your metabolic rate. You may have heard your friends going on crash diets or keto diets. Although these diet plans are effective in weight loss, they are not the best. You would be surprised to know that you may not need to change what you eat at all! In fact, it is advisable to stay as close to your lifestyle as you can. All your favorite aloo parantha breakfasts and spicy red sauce pasta can still be a part of your life. All you need to do is one simple trick- ration your intake by controlling your portion sizes.

Losing fat in winters seems difficult because some people are more lethargic due to the weather and prefer to stay indoors, usually curled up in their beds.

However, there are some simple tricks to ensure that you lose weight even during the chilly season. Following these five simple tips, you can reduce that excess fat during winters:

Drink warm water

It is a known fact that lukewarm water helps in digestion. Less water in the body can aggravate your hunger pangs and decrease the fat burning capacity of the body. Drinking hot to lukewarm water after a meal emulsifies fat, aiding digestion and thus helping you to lose fat. You can also add a dash of lemon with crushed mint to the warm water.

Indoor Exercises

Going out for exercising during winters can become difficult because of the teeth grinding cold outside. In order to induce weight loss, you should try doing light indoor exercises. You can lose weight from the comfort of your home by dancing, spot jogging or skipping. All these act as great exercises to lose weight.

Limit intake of high calories foods

Eating something heavy on the stomach once in a while is alright but during winters, we tend to consume more sweets and comfort foods. You need to watch yourself and refrain from consuming larger quantities of fat heavy and high calories food.

Eat smaller portions

It is suggested that you consume smaller portions of food at constant intervals. This will make you feel fuller and reduce the intake of unhealthy foods. Just make a fruit or vegetable salad and munch on it instead of consuming pizzas or chips. Smaller portions of healthy snacks will make you consume less junk food.

Sit in sunlight

As much as you would like to sit at home during winters, going out will help you reduce weight. A study found out that reduction in sunlight can lead to increase in weight. So, if you are looking to lose weight this winter, it will be a good idea to go outside and sit in sunlight for some time.

OPERATION Transformation star Shane Farrell's school have praised him for his "hard work" in losing weight as they show off his incredible transformation.

Shane appeared on the hit RTE show last year where he explained that he wanted to lose weight to make the list for life-changing surgery

The music teacher was diagnosed with a neurological condition and lost the ability to control his bladder, which is called a dead bladder, after a trampoline accident at the age of 15.

He has overcome adversity, having had three children despite being told he wouldn't be able to due to the nerve damage.

The condition can be hard to live with, as sometimes in work he is so busy he forgets to empty his bladder.

That results in him feeling very sick and he is prone to constant infections.

However, this is no longer the case as a trial procedure in a hospital in Belgium has already given Shane a glimpse of the future.

The plan now is to implant the device permanently in Shanes back. The surgery is expensive and the rehabilitation could take six months.

When the series ended in March Shane had lost 2st 13lbs. However since then he has gone on to lose almost another three.

The school where Shane works, Sacred Heart in Tullamore, shared a snap of Shane and he looks so different.

The first picture the school shared was of Shane before he went on the show as he posed with the show host Kathryn Thomas.

The next two pictures they shared was of Shane now as he posed in the school gym with a face mask on and holding up an Operation Transformation sign.

Sacred Hearts captioned these snaps saying: "What a difference a year makes (and we are not talking about the mask)!!

"This time last year we had great excitement in the school when Kathryn Thomas arrived in to surprise Mr Farrell as an Operation Transformation leader.

"A huge well done to Mr Farrell on his hard work and dedication on his continuing journey.

"We are so proud of you! Operation Transformation."

Shane recently spoke with RTE star Ray D'Arcy on his radio show as he gave him an update on how his weight loss has been going.

He said: "We went into lockdown straight after the grand finale so thankfully I had been given the tools I had to deal with this in all aspects of my life.

"I had two choices; I could go with how I did the show or go back to my old habits and thankfully I kept going. I'm doing great.

"I was 20st 7 starting OT and to get my surgery in Belgium, I need to get to a weight of 16st to get on the list and then 15st to get the actual surgery.

"We hoped sometime next year I'd reach the 16st target to get on the list but today I can announce that I am 16st 2 so I'm nearly there for the list."

He added: "[It'll help] my bladder control and my pain. If I get rid of my pain I'd be able to manage completely.

"I would have kidney infections week after week and since OT I have not had one kidney infection.

"The OT plan works and I've tried all the diets you can think of, I really have.

"I think people can relate to the programme OT and it's a journey both mentally and physically."
