HealthLots of different diets come under the intermittent fasting umbrella, like the 5:2 diet, the 16:8 method and Eat-Stop-Eat

Monday, 19th October 2020, 3:54 pm

Intermittent fasting has become one of the most popular diets in recent years, with celebrities like Terry Crews, Jennifer Aniston and Chris Pratt all swearing by it.

But what exactly is intermittent fasting - and does it really work for weight loss?

This is everything you need to know about the diet, from the 5:2 method to the Eat-Stop-Eat diet.

What is intermittent fasting?

Intermittent fasting is a type of diet that cycles between periods of eating and periods of fasting.

There are a few diets within the intermittent fasting category, such as:

- The 16:8 method, which involves participants restricting their eating times to only eight hours a day, such as between 12pm and 8pm, and is then followed by 16 hours of fasting

- Eat-Stop-Eat, which involves fasting for 24 hours one or twice a week - for example, by not eating dinner one day until dinner the next day

- The 5:2 diet, which involves eating normally for five days of the week, and then consuming only 500 - 600 calories on two non-consecutive days

Does intermittent fasting help you lose weight?

There have been many studies done on the effects of intermittent fasting, with some showing positive results and others showing that the diet doesnt have many benefits.

One of the most recent and most rigorous studies into intermittent fasting, which was published in JAMA Internal Medicine, found that adults who stuck to a 16:8 diet, only eating all of their meals between 12pm and 6pm, gained almost no benefit from it.

The study found that those on this diet, known as the 16:8 diet, lost on average between two to three and a half pounds over the three month study period, and most of the weight lost was not from body fat but lean mass, which includes muscle.

Ethan Weiss, a cardiologist at the University of California and one of the co-authors of the study, said: You dont want to lose lean mass. You want to lose fat mass. Here we found that two-thirds of weight loss came from lean mass.

In the findings portion of the study, researchers wrote: In this prospective randomized clinical trial that included 116 adults with overweight or obesity, time-restricted eating was associated with a modest decrease (1.17%) in weight that was not significantly different from the decrease in the control group (0.75%).

The study said that time-restricted eating, in the absence of other interventions, is not more effective in weight loss than eating throughout the day.

Niamh Hennessy, lead dietitian at Bupa Cromwell Hospital, says that instead of intermittent fasting, making small changes to your eating habits, largely by cutting out food high in saturated fat and sugar, is the best way to eat well and maintain a healthy weight.

She explains that many people who follow a set diet or eating plan end up putting the weight back on, and that intermittent fasting is no exception.

How can I safely lose weight?

The NHS has a free 12 week diet and exercise plan, which you can access as an app, called NHS Weight Loss Plan, on either the Apple app store, or the Google Play store.

The plan, which has been downloaded more than seven million times, is designed to help you lose weight safely - and keep it off, the NHS explains.

The plan itself features guides to safe and sustainable weight loss, advice on healthier food choices and exercise routines to follow.

It is designed to help people lose weight at a safe rate of 0.5kg to 1kg (1lb to 2lb) each week by sticking to a daily calorie allowance.

The plan is intended for adults with a body mass index of 25 and over - it is not suitable for children, young people or pregnant women.

If you have a medical condition, you should consult your GP prior to starting any weight loss programmes.

Breakfast. Weve all heard its the most important meal of the day about 1,200 times, right? Weknow that a healthy breakfast gives us the fuel we need tostartthe day, yet too many of us rely on unhealthychoices to kick off our mornings (donuts come to mind). Especially if youre trying to lose weight, eating the right breakfast can hold the key to success, since a balanced early meal gives you the energy and nutrientsafter overnight fasting, to set you up for steady blood sugar and healthier food choices for the rest of the day.

But eating a superstar breakfast to help usher along weight loss isnt always easy. Is a banana and almond butter enough? Is avocado toast with a side of fruit salad too much? Whats the best breakfast to power up your metabolism? Or to refuel up after an early morning workout? For the answers,we reached out to Registered Dieticians to share their best plant-basedmorning meals to haveif youre trying to lose weight. Choose one and stick with it or rotate through these six healthy choices.

How to make it: Mix one cup of unsweetened coconut milk (or any other unsweetened plant-based milk, or even water) with four tablespoons of chia seeds. For flavoring, you can add a splash of vanilla extract and, if youd like, a sweetener of choice like agave syrup, at this stage and mix everything thoroughly. Place it in the fridge overnight to set. In the morning, top it off with fruits such as mango, kiwi. and pineapple and, for an added tropical kick, unsweetened coconut flakes. To change this recipe up, you can also swap oats for chia seeds.

Why it helps with weight loss: This breakfast recipe is excellent for those who are trying to lose weight as chia seeds are high in many vitamins, minerals, and protein, while also being low in calories, says Acharya, also noting that they contain omega-3s, which are an essential fatty acid providing excellent benefits for your heart and brain. Furthermore, chia seeds are an excellent source of fiber, which helps in those trying to lose weight by improving digestion and reducing cholesterol. Two tablespoons of chia seeds boast an impressive 11 grams of fiber and clock in at only 130 calories.

How to make it: Place two tablespoons of roasted chickpeas (you can roast them the day before for swifter prep); check out our recipe hereon one slice of whole-grain toast along with a quarter cup of mashed avocado. Add fresh herbs like basil or parsley and spices like red hot chile pepper flakes or sea salt as desired.

Why it helps with weight loss: The chickpea avocado toast is not only vegan, but its full of protein, fat, and fiber to keep you totally satisfied for hours, explains Kostro Miller. One huge struggle for people trying to lose weight is feeling hungry between meals. This breakfast option uses a three-tiered approach to battling hunger: healthy avocado fat, plant-based protein, and fiber in every main ingredient. Its also the kind of thing youll come to crave every morning.

How to make it: In a high-powered blender, add frozen fruits of your choice (we love frozen berries for all of their antioxidants!) along with a tablespoon of cacao nibs, half a banana, and half a cup of unsweetened soy milk or unsweetened plant-based milk of choice. Blend until smooth.

Why it helps with weight loss: This recipe provides fiber, heart-healthy fat, and protein to help you stay full while trying to lose weight, offers Banna. It's important to focus on foods that provide a sense of satisfaction and don't have a lot of empty calories to leave you hungry again quickly. To make this shake even more filling, add a tablespoon or two of your favorite nut butter.

How to make it: Spread one tablespoon of almond butter on a slice of Ezekiel bread after toasting (or eat it untoasted, if you prefer) and serve with one cup of blueberries. You can also swap whole wheat bread and peanut butter in this recipe. For a different flavor profile, serve with a sliced banana instead of blueberries.

Why it helps with weight loss: This is a good breakfast if youre trying to lose weight as its the perfect combo of being a good source of fiber, healthy plant-based protein, and good fat, says Young. (Nut butters are loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.) The blueberries are also rich in phytonutrients, good-for-you chemical compounds made by plants. This recipe is also simple to make, especially if youre in a rush. That 10 a.m. Zoom call waits for no stragglers, dear readers.

How to make it: Make chia jam by combining 16 ounces fresh or frozen raspberries (or any berry) with four tablespoons chia seeds, three tablespoons lemon juice, and one-to-three tablespoons maple syrup for sweetness (if the fruit is really sweet, use less) in a small saucepan on the stove at medium heat. Stir frequently until the fruit defrosts or breaks apart and the ingredients begin to gel together (about five-to-seven minutes). Remove from heat and place in a glass container and allow to cool to room temperature. Enjoy right away or store in the fridge for a few hours or overnight for maximum seed expansion. Use for the next three-to-five days. When making your breakfast, slather the jam on an Ezekiel whole-grain English muffin and serve.

Why it helps with weight loss: Ezekiel muffins have all-natural ingredients and are delish, while the chia seeds in the jam keep you feeling satiated, notes Barrie. Pick your favorite berry for the jam and try any type of nut butter you like! You will feel full for hours. If youre craving something sweet after dinner, this also makes an excellent healthy dessert.

How to make it: Pop a whole wheat English muffin in the toaster. Pour a drizzle of olive oil, sea salt, and pepper on each half and add sliced tomatoes and avocados. A splash of balsamic vinegar adds a nice hit of acid.

Why it helps with weight loss: This option is good for weight loss because of the content of fiber and heart-healthy fat, offers Banna. These nutrients help you to stay full to avoid overeating. For more on how eating an avocado a day can help you burn fat and lose weight, read our article on natures keto here.

Excessive weight can be caused by overeating, sedentary lifestyle, genetic reasons and many other factors.

Unfortunately, this can lead to some serious health issues.

Losing this excessive weight is a step toward improving a person's overall well-being, and it can be achieved through many patient, effective and safe ways.

Here are some tips that can definitely help you knock off those extra kilos.

Exercise is an important part of losing weight, but if you end up doing intense workouts that don't make you feel comfortable, you will make excuses to skip them.

So find a physical activity that suits your lifestyle and gives your body necessary movement to lose weight.

These include playing sports like football with your friends, dance classes and more.

When you don't get adequate sleep, the hunger hormone ghrelin increases, and causes untimely cravings, which you won't be able to ignore.

This will eventually lead to weight gain.

Also, sleep deprivation mostly causes cravings for high calorie food because of your lack of energy.

This will make you want salty and sweet food items, which can jeopardise your weight-loss plans.

High protein diet is important for losing weight because it reduces cravings, and keeps you full for a longer time. Since carbohydrates are associated with weight gain, you should avoid them. However, don't cut carbs completely. Reduce its intake to 20-50 grams/day.

Sugar-sweetened beverages like soda, juice, alcohol and others may provide you instant energy. But since sugar is a soluble carbohydrate, these drinks carry tons of calories, and don't provide any nutritional benefits that are often advertised.

You should go for unsweetened beverages, or replace the sugar in your drinks with healthy alternatives like honey.

Also check the sugar content of energy drinks before consumption.

Dehydration often feels like hunger.

Thus, drinking water when you feel hungry can prevent the intake of unnecessary calories. This also makes water an effective and natural appetite suppressant.

Additionally, adequate water intake ensures elimination of toxins that can cause weight gain; and is responsible for keeping your metabolism active.

You can also add lime juice to it for flavor.

Going for a bike ride is good exercise, and it can be as easy or as difficult as you make it. Plus, if you can't get outside, you can even find many of the same health benefits on a stationary bike indoors.

Here are five major health benefits of cycling and how to bike safely.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that adults do 150 to 300 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity. Cycling is one way to get aerobic exercise also known as cardio which gets your heart and lungs working.

For example, a large 2017 study looked at the benefits of "active commuting" and found that cycling to work was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and death. In fact, the health benefits of cycling to work may be even greater than the benefits of walking to work.

Moderate or vigorous aerobic activity like cycling can help you lose weight. A 2019 research review found that indoor cycling, when combined with healthy eating practices, was recommended to help people lose weight, reduce blood pressure, and improve lipid profile.

The amount of calories cycling burns depends on how hard you're working. For example, a 185-pound person can burn the following number of calories per hour:

Because cycling is a low-impact activity, it's easy on the joints even easier than walking.

"When we walk, and when our foot hits the ground, because of gravity, we hit with two to four times our body weight," says Curtis Cramblett, a licensed physical therapist and certified cycling coach, strength and conditioning coach, and bike fitting educator.

On a bike, there is still some force on the joints, depending on how hard you're pushing on the pedals, but cycling does not deliver the compressive force that walking does, Cramblett says. This makes it suitable for people who may have injuries, such as a knee or hip replacement, or a lower back problem.

"Because it's low impact and because you're sitting on a saddle, it can be as gentle as you like," Cramblett says.

A small 2013 study found that bicycling can improve balance and even help prevent falls for older adults. However, these benefits likely apply only to cycling outdoors, and not for indoor stationary cycling.

"When you're trying to keep a bike upright, you're working on balance," Cramblett says. That's why cycling is often recommended for people with neurological disorders to train balance and coordination. In fact, a small 2015 study found that stationary cycling can improve balance in stroke patients.

"Once you learn to ride a bike, you can always do it. It really brings back some of the coordination that we learned as a kid around balance," Cramblett says.

It is well-proven that exercise such as cycling can improve cognitive functioning, reduce depression, and enhance overall well-being.

Plus, when you ride a bike outdoors, it may enhance these benefits. A 2013 research review found that exercising in natural environments provides greater mental health benefits than indoor exercise does.

The most important benefit of cycling might be the same one you appreciated as a kid. "Think about the first couple of times you were on a bike: the freedom, the joy, the play, the smile, the laughter there's an emotion that comes into that old memory," Cramblett says.

For beginners, Cramblett recommends starting out slow maybe once or twice a week for 15 or 20 minutes.

"Then you can work your way up, giving your tissues, your tendons, your muscles, your joints, an opportunity to get used to the activity," he says. People often jump into activities too fast and do too much, but that can cause injury and make it a chore rather than something you enjoy, he says.

Comfort is also important. If the position of your saddle or handlebars is off, "it puts undue stress on your joints," Cramblett says. Getting your bike professionally fitted can prevent pain and injury, and this applies to both outdoor bikes and stationary bikes.

If you're cycling outdoors, here's how to do it safely:

Whether you head outdoors or use a stationary bike at home, you should do what works for you. Sticking to an exercise regimen is much easier if it's fun, Cramblett says. "The most important thing is that it's something that puts a smile on your face and that you're willing to come back and do tomorrow."

Both the groups lost weight, however, the people who ate a large breakfast lost more weight and lost more inches from their waists as compared to the group who ate a large dinner.

But wait before you start planning a heavy breakfast. This study was conducted only for 12 weeks and the number of people involved was less. The scientists looked only at the women with metabolic syndrome and not women who just wanted to lose weight. Moreover, eating only 1400 calories will in all probability lead to weight loss as it's much less than what people usually consume.

Before we start following this diet pattern, we need to understand that for the study, everything was controlled but that is tough to follow in real life.

Have more fruits, green vegetables and remember skipping meals is never a healthy option to lose weight.

SPRINGDALE, Utah A California woman who was missing for about two weeks in Zion National Park in Utah has been found and left the park with her family who had feared the worst, authorities said.

Holly Suzanne Courtier, 38, of Los Angeles, was found Sunday by search and rescue crews in a thickly vegetated area along the Virgin River after park rangers received a tip that she had been seen in the park, Zion National Park officials said in a news release Monday. They didnt say anything about her condition or what had happened.

Courtiers daughter, Kailey Chambers, told CNN that her mother hurt her head early in her hike and became disoriented.

She injured her head on a tree, Chambers said in a text exchange. She was very disoriented as a result and thankfully ended up near a water source a river bed. She thought her best chance of survival was to stay next to a water source.

Chambers said Courtier was so weak she was unable to take more than a step or two without collapsing.

This prevented her from being able to seek out help. She told me she was so dehydrated she couldnt open her mouth, Chambers said.

Crews began searching for Courtier after she didnt show up for her scheduled pickup in the park by a private shuttle on Oct. 6, authorities said. The park and nearby town of Springdale were filled with missing person signs featuring pictures of Courtier and the clothes she was wearing.

Her sister, Jillian Courtier-Oliver, told ABCs Good Morning America that her sister is recovering after being found with bruises all over her body and losing weight.

Courtier-Oliver said she had started losing hope her sister was alive in a park known for its towering red rock cliffs that has several hikes that take people along narrow trails with steep drops nearby.

It wasnt until two days ago I actually said, Im starting to lose hope, she said. They had a lot of cadaver dogs out, and I knew what they were looking for was a body, not a person. It was the first time I actually started losing hope. And I went with up with so much help knowing that we needed to find her.

The park released a statement attributed to the family.

We would like to thank the rangers and search teams who relentlessly looked for her day and night and never gave up hope. We are also so grateful to the countless volunteers who were generous with their time, resources and support, her family said in statement.

Three out of four rural Indians cannot afford a nutritious diet, according to a paper recently published in journal Food Policy. Even if they spent their entire income on food, almost two out of three of them would not have the money to pay for the cheapest possible diet that meets the requirements set by the governments premier nutrition body, it says.

Unlike the Economic Surveys Thalinomics, which provided a rosier picture of meal costs, this study uses the wages of unskilled workers who make up a larger proportion of the population than industrial workers, and includes items such as dairy, fruit and dark green leafy vegetables that are essential as per Indias official dietary guidelines.

The paper, titled Affordability of nutritious diets in rural India, is authored by International Food Policy Research Institute economist Kalyani Raghunathan and others, and uses the latest available food price and wage information from the National Sample Surveys 2011 dataset.

The findings are significant in the light of the fact that India performs abysmally on many nutrition indicators even while the country claims to have achieved food security. On Friday, the Global Hunger Index showed that India has the worlds highest prevalence of child wasting, reflecting acute undernutrition. On indicators that simply measure calorie intake, India performs relatively better, but they do not account for the nutrition value of those calories.

The National Institute for Nutritions guidelines for a nutritionally adequate diet call for adult women to eat 330 gm of cereals and 75 gm of pulses a day, along with 300 gm of dairy, 100 gm of fruit, and 300 gm of vegetables, which should include at least 100 gm of dark green leafy vegetables. Selecting the cheapest options from actual Indian diets -- wheat, rice, bajra, milk, curd, onions, radish, spinach, bananas -- the study calculated that a days meals would cost 45 (or 51 for an adult man).

Even if they spent all their income on food, 63.3% of the rural population or more than 52 crore Indians would not be able to afford that nutritious meal. If they set aside just a third of their income for non-food expenses, 76% of rural Indians would not be able to afford the recommended diet. This does not even account for the meals of non-earning members of a household, such as children or older adults.

These numbers are somewhat speculative, but they do reveal the scale of the dietary affordability problem in rural India: nutritious diets are too expensive, and incomes far too low, says the paper.

Although their data ended in 2011, since when both food prices and wages have risen, the studys authors recommended that the government develop a similar tool to monitor dietary costs and affordability of nutritious meals. Currently, food costs are measured through consumer price indices (CPIs) which weight foods by expenditure shares. In poor countries such as India, CPIs are heavily weighted towards nutrient-sparse starchy staples, meaning that trends in the food CPI can be misleading from a nutritional standpoint, said the paper.

By Dr. Philip Goglia, WBC Nutrition Committee Chairman airs part two of his Benefits of Seaweed in a boxers diet.

Anti-Coagulant: Laboratory research has made it evident that seaweed possesses antioxidant and anti-coagulant properties. Anti-coagulants, also known as blood thinners, prevent the formation of blood clots and decrease the threat of stroke, cardiac failure, and obstruction in the veins and arteries. The polysaccharides called fucoidans, which are present in brown algae, such as Turbinaria ornate, kelp, and bladderwrack exert this beneficial effect.

Detoxification: Seaweed possesses the ability to detoxify and cleanse the body and facilitates the excretion of toxic waste. The binding property of the natural absorbent, alginate, which is present in seaweed, makes toxic materials, including heavy metals like lead, mercury, and other pollutants indigestible and eliminated them from the body through bowel movements.

Influenza: Seaweed possesses anti-viral properties that have been proven promising in providing a protective effect against Influenza B virus. Seaweed extracts obstruct the absorption of harmful viral particles in the cells and prevents the body from getting infected.

Cardiovascular Health: Seaweed has been useful in sustaining lower levels of triglycerides and cholesterol in the body. This helps in maintaining a healthy heart, smooth circulation in the blood vessels, and prevents fatal conditions like heart failure, atherosclerosis, and peripheral artery ailments.

Radiation Poisoning: Seaweed has the ability to protect the skin from damage caused by exposure to ultraviolet B radiation from sunlight. This defensive effect can be attributed to the presence of fucoxanthin in the seaweed, which aids in preventing cell damage and enhancing the survival rate of the pre-treated cells. The antioxidant effect of fucoxanthin protects the skin from photo-aging, pigmentation, and wrinkle formation, while also making it an effective component to be used in the cosmetic industry for the manufacturing of sunscreens. Various research studies conducted to investigate the radio-protective effect of seaweed extracts against the exposure to gamma radiations have shown positive results.

Protects Your Eyes: The anti-ocular inflammatory effect exerted by fucoxanthin, present in seaweed, has shown promising results in the prevention of after-cataract. This complication is also known as posterior capsule opacification which can occur after cataract surgery. Fucoxanthin is utilized in the formulation of products used in ocular implants in the cataract surgery to avoid the risk of after-cataract.

Healthier Skin: The wealth of essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants in seaweed helps in keeping the skin revitalized, moisturized, and youthful. These elements guard the skin against the harmful effects of environmental pollutants and helps to slow down the skins aging process. Scientific research has made it evident that seaweed extracts contain anti-aging properties and are a useful ingredient in the manufacturing of skin care cosmetics. The anti-inflammatory properties present in seaweed are useful in treating skin rashes and wounds. The phytonutrients elevate blood flow and bring a healthy glow to the face. Seaweed wraps detoxify and cleanse the skin by expelling toxins out of the pores. Seaweed baths have also been admired among British and Irish people for ages due to their therapeutic effects.

Hair Care: The high mineral content of seaweed also aids in maintaining healthy hair. They help in strengthening the roots and shafts of hair follicles and make them thick and lustrous. Due to this beneficial effect, it has been proven valuable in the manufacturing of shampoos and hair creams.

Culinary Usage: Some seaweed has a nice flavor and is served as a delicacy in many Asian countries such as Japan, China, and Korea. Nori, Kombu, and wakame are some of the most commonly grown and used species in these countries. Famous Japanese sushi roll uses seaweed called nori as an ingredient with rice and raw fish. Seaweed such as agars and carrageenans are used in many processed food items like yogurt, health drinks, non-vegetarian dishes, and even high-quality German beer. The harvesting of seaweed is done to extract phycocolloids such as agar, carrageenan, and alginate to use them as food additives or preservatives for fish, meat dishes, and baked items.
