When a man receives a diagnosis of prostate cancer, Dr. Charles Ryan has two immediate questions: Has it spread outside of the prostate and, if so, is it resistant to the hormonal therapy typically used to treat the disease?

When we talk about a patient with a life-threatening form of prostate cancer, thoseare typically patients who have both of those phenomena, said Ryan, director of the Division of Hematology, Oncology and Transplantation at the Masonic Cancer Center of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. The cancer spreads to the bone, and standard hormonal therapy stops being effective, so the cancer begins to grow despite the lowering of testosterone.

While those cancers, known as castration-resistant or hormone-resistant, represent the most advanced stage of the disease, the good news is that there are numerous ways to treat such cases, Ryan told CURE in an interview. In fact, he said, the number of treatments for prostate cancer has really exploded in the last four or five years, and its actually going to get even bigger in the next few.

Ryan: We can divide them into three or four categories. With hormonal therapy, the standard of care would be some form of ablation of the level of testosterone in the body (because testosterone fuels the cancer). We typically do this with injections that lower the level of testosterone by about 90%. The most commonly used drugs would be leuprolide (Lupron Depot), degarelix (Firmagon) and goserelin (Zoladex).

On top of that, we have targeted hormonal therapies that block the effect of testosterone even when the first line of therapies has failed. And thats where we have drugs like enzalutamide (Xtandi), abiraterone (Zytiga), apalutamide (Erleada) and darolutamide (Nubeqa).

Compared with some other cancers, we use relatively little chemotherapy, but we do have some very effective chemotherapies. Docetaxel can be used in advanced hormone-resistant disease or as an initial therapy for metastatic disease. And we have a drug called cabazitaxel, which is similar.

The new class of drugs that were using now is the PARP (poly-ADP ribose polymerase) inhibitors, which target the mechanism of DNA repair (making it harder for cancer cells to repair themselves when damaged; these are used in patients whose cancers are already deficient in this ability due to gene mutations). In addition, we have a cellular therapy called sipuleucel-T, which is used in castration-resistant, metastatic disease. Finally, we have a radioisotope called radium-223, which is used in disease that has spread to the bone, causing bone pain.

Treatment adherence has to do with whether the prescribed medication actually gets into the patient. Adherence for injected drugs is, of course, high; if a patient shows up and has the drug injected, adherence is almost 100%. But with oral drugs, we can lose adherence for a number of reasons. One is that a patient could take a bottle of pills home, put it in his medicine cabinet and never take it. Or, it could be that a patient starts to take a medication and because he doesnt feel so good, he stops taking it. We would want to hear about that, why he doesnt feel well and whether we could reduce the dose or give him a treatment break. As oncologists, thats our job.

But the reality is that all the research in the world that leads to the development of a new therapy isnt effective if we dont get it into the patient. So, its sort of a dialogue between the doctor and the patient about what can or cannot be administered and why. It may not be just one factor.

Unfortunately, a problem in this country is that patients sometimes bear a lot of the cost of their medication, so not being able to pay would be one (reason) for a patient not adhering to the treatment regimen. And that is something that I, as a doctor, would want to hear about, because we can think about patient assistance programs if they exist in your area, or we can think about ways we can reduce the dose to allow us to effectively deliver the drug, but perhaps on a slightly more cost-effective schedule.

The major driver of quality of life in advanced prostate cancer is the efficacy of the therapy, and this has been shown, for example, with chemotherapy. Many men might think, Well, chemotherapy is going to be associated with a very poor quality of life. But that didnt bear out in a study that was done many years ago, in which patients (newly diagnosed) with metastatic disease were treated with standard hormonal therapy with or without chemotherapy.

The patients who were on the chemotherapy had a slightly lower quality of life after about three months of treatment, but after 12 months of starting treatment, the patients who had received the chemotherapy had a better quality of life. And that was because 12 months after starting the treatment, the patients had already been done with the treatment for six months. They were less likely to have their cancer worsening, and better cancer control leads to better quality of life.

I would put clinical trials into one of two categories. The first would be optimization studies using therapies that exist, but maybe were testing them in an earlier disease population, or looking for a better outcome by giving it to a patient with a lower volume of disease.

For example, there are studies of enzalutamide and abiraterone, commonly used drugs that, when first approved, were given to patients who had received all (available) prior therapies and chemotherapy. But then we showed that we could give them to patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer who did not have chemotherapy, and then to patients (who were) newly diagnosed, and the outcomes were better than giving standard hormonal therapy alone.

Now, studies are looking at patients who do not have metastatic disease. This is where were going with prostate cancer therapies: Optimizing their use, moving them earlier in the disease spectrum and maybe changing doses.

The next type of clinical trial would be (one that uses) new therapies and new approaches. One would be the PARP inhibitors, which are relatively new. The two that are approved currently are called Lynparza (olaparib) and Rubraca (rucaparib).

The second category thats really exciting is PSMA (prostate-specific membrane antigen) targeted therapies, and we have one thats looking really interesting. Its a molecule that targets PSMA (a protein in prostate cancer cells that fuels the disease), which arises from a very common mutation of a gene called PTEN. On one end, the treatment binds the PSMA, and on the other end, it has a sort of molecular basket.

In this basket, you can put a molecule: In this case, its the radioisotope lutetium-177. The targeted treatment sort of hand delivers the radiation therapy to the prostate cancer cell. And that looks really interesting and could get FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approval in the next few months or year.

Theres another less-known, genetic-based therapy being studied, a drug that targets a molecule called AKT (generated by a fairly uncommon) mutation. If that mutation is there, then this AKT is activated and stimulating the cancer, and the drug blocks it. We might hear data on that in the coming year, and it could become available, most likely, in the advanced castration-resistant metastatic setting.

We started maybe 20 years ago thinking about this idea of personalized medicine and targeted therapies, and were kind of there. Were not quite there totally, because were not at the point where every patient has some unique profile that leads to a special cocktail of treatment. I think thats still a little bit far off, but we are seeing the beginning of this process.

I would first recommend that patients go to the website of ZERO The End of Prostate Cancer.

ZERO is not only an informative website, its also an advocacy organization. ZERO also has an annual meeting that patients can attend. Ive spoken at it the last couple of years, and I have a number of colleagues who have, and theres a lot of information there.

I would also recommend looking at the National Cancer Institutes website. They have a thing called PDQ, patient data query, which is a very dry presentation of patient outcome data but can be helpful for making decisions.

And then, finally, the Prostate Cancer Foundation, which is a group that Ive worked with. They have patient materials that one can order, such as a cookbook for patients with prostate cancer and other things that can help them address lifestyle issues in a way that might be helpful for their long-term health.

Adele swears by the Sirtfood diet. Image Credit: various

Whats it like to not feel tired anymore? Not feel bound within your own body? Not feel like the person in the mirror is a pale reflection of who you are. Like not everything is out of control. Like its not you who are out of control? The thing about a body is, certain issues notwithstanding, what you eat, how you eat and so the impact these foods have on you is largely in your hands.

As coronavirus shade still lumbers over the world and self-isolation becomes the new normal, a trend has emerged the rise of the corona-pound i.e. gained either from a lack of activity or purpose, emotional consumption or simply, boredom. And so you have it: the bad news.

The good news? Theres so much you can do about it.

To help your diet plans go the long way, we checked in with a few dietitians, nutritionists and other experts to break down some of the food plans tried and tested by celebrities: the Sirtfood Diet and Mayr Method and the well-known, if misunderstood - Keto Diet. We also asked them about optimal diets and finally, what are the signs that you need to get off THAT food plan now!

Sirtfood Diet

Hello singer Adele has always made heads turn with her smile and the sound of her voice, but this year theres been another reason for the goggling. She lost about 22kg on the Sirtfood diet. Which allows the dieter to drink grape beverages and eat chocolate. Interested yet?

What is it?

British celebrity nutritionists Aidan Goggins and Glen Matten created the diet based on a group of proteins called sirtuins (SIRTs) that regulate functions such as metabolism and inflammation in the body. We call these proteins Sirtuins (SIRTs). These proteins have shown to regulate bodily functions including metabolism/ inflammation and increase lifespan. says Belinda Dao, Clinical Dietician at American Hospital Dubai.

By eating foods or plants that increase the levels of protein in your body, you can activate what the inventors call the skinny gene. When SIRTs are consumed in higher amounts, they help aid in burning fat, explains Dao.

How does it work?

Dao explains that the diet is a 2-phase plan that restricts a follower to certain proteins.

Phase 1 is a 1,000 kcal count consisting of 1 meal while the remainder of calories comes from green juices off the SIRT list. This phase lasts a week.

Phase 2 consists of 3 meals and 1 green juice per day; however no calorie restrictions are applied for Phase 2 as long as you stick to the SIRTs list.

A typical day's menu

Breakfast: Soy yogurt with mixed berries, chopped walnuts and dark chocolate Lunch: Wholemeal pitta stuffed with turkey, cheese or hummus Dinner: Stir-fried prawns with kale and buckwheat noodles.There is a meat/fish option and a vegetarian/vegan option for every day.

Any cons?

Dao says: I will say the Sirtfood diet plan can be a fun way to diet for a chocolate lover or someone looking to drop fast weight; however this weight is mostly water weight and not necessarily the fat you were hoping to lose. Also considering, while following a low calorie diet it is quite expected to drop some weight on such a harsh restricted diet plan consisting mostly of leafy green juices and little to no protein. However this is not the ideal way to losing weight and keeping it off, nor is it substantially convenient for long-term use.

Farah Hillou, Integrative and Functional Nutritionist at The Chiron Clinic, adds: Although the Sirtfood diet is high in nutrient-dense, antioxidant-rich and anti-inflammatory foods, there is lack of scientific evidence to support its effects on SIRT genes.

Conclusion: Good for short-term gains

Mayr Method

This Australian weight-loss plan was tried by Rebel Wilson in January, in a bid to kick off what she called her Year of Health. The Pitch Perfect actress who was known for her voluptuous figure has lost more than 18kg since then.

What is it?

This plan has been around for decades. It was developed by Franz Xaver Mayr in Austria a hundred years ago and focuses on gut health.

How does it work?

The five principles of the Mayr Method include resting the digestive system by eating less; focusing on smaller portions and avoiding sugar and caffeine; promoting mindful, slow eating (chewing food at least 40 times); eating alkaline foods/drinks; and focusing on the gut rhythm- ultimately seeing the gut as the gateway to health, explains Hillou.

Dao adds: Cutting out processed foods alone helps in taking a load off of your body from working to excrete those added toxins to your body as well.

Alongside, eating smaller bites, as well as chewing for longer helps digestion by giving it less work to do. Your digestion slows down during the day, consequently why eating a light dinner can be a game changer.

Belinda Dao

Chewing slowly as well as eating with no distractions also helps us practice reducing food consumption speed and instead gives us time to savor our foods with a relaxed mindful eating approach.

The Mayr Method also emphasizes on refraining from any fluid intake while eating because it dilutes digestive enzymes however numerous studies have showed the positive impact of drinking water during meals to prevent overeating, she adds.

Any cons?

Dao says: This diet does have quite a few other cons to it as it claims to be an alkaline diet however your body already aids in regulating our pH levels all on its own. The necessity of eating only alkaline foods is quite exaggerated. Other restrictions such as cutting out raw foods after 4 pm and the elimination of snacks between meals doesnt give or take in helping weight loss occur. Snacking actually helps in keeping your metabolism burning throughout the day as long as those snacks fall under a healthy snack choice.

This type of diet plan may also be difficult to follow through with if you are an individual who cannot completely remove dairy and gluten from your daily life. With such restrictions you need to also make sure youre getting enough B12, Iron, Calcium, and Vitamin D.

Conclusion: Works, but many restrictions

A typical day's menu

Breakfast: Ground oats with rice milk or Organic eggsLunch: smoked salmon with spinachDinner: Chickpeas and buckwheat flour bread

Keto

One of the (now) mainstream diets is the ketogenic diet, which cuts down on carbohydrates, includes proteins and adds fats to the mix. The aim is for the body convert fat to ketone bodies to use as a source for fuel, explains Hillou.

The ketogenic diet has been used successfully, and with strong research backing, in children with epilepsy. Current areas of research are investigating possible benefits for cancer, autism, chronic pain, migraines, neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimers) and aging, she adds.

Some reported benefits to the ketogenic diet include improved insulin sensitivity, reduced triglycerides, better energy levels, less hunger, and fat loss.

How does it work?

It would not be recommended for individuals with diabetes taking insulin, or individuals with gallbladder issues that can impact fat digestion. Moreover, there is lack of evidence to suggest what are the health effects of going on a keto diet long-term. Taking into consideration that toxins are stored in fat cells, it would be wise to support detoxification in the liver to help remove these toxins as weight and fat are lost, says Hillou.

Types of Keto

Nyma Peracha, Co-Founder of Be More Keto who has been on the diet for about 4 years, goes further, classifying keto living into:

Standard 3 meals a day

Intermittent Fasting Keto: where a person has a window in which to eat keto-approved meals and spends the rest of the day fasting.

Cyclical Keto: where for about 5 days one is on strict keto and on about 2 they increase carb intake.

Targeted Keto, in which the macronutrients ratio is as follows: 65-70 per cent of your daily calories come from fat, 20 per cent from protein, and 10-15 per cent from carbs.

Nyma Peracha

"I started following Keto 4 years ago. I felt like being such a fitness enthusiast and training so hard there was still something it quite right and my results seemed to be stagnant no matter what I was eating! Once I started Keto it all made sense! My fat started to fall off and my energy levels were better than ever! My skin started to glow and my hair and nails had an extra vibrant feel and look to them," says Peracha.

Any cons?

It would not be recommended for individuals with diabetes taking insulin, or individuals with gallbladder issues that can impact fat digestion. Moreover, there is lack of evidence to suggest what are the health effects of going on a keto-diet long-term. Taking into consideration that toxins are stored in fat cells, it would be wise to support detoxification in the liver to help remove these toxins as weight and fat are lost, says Hillou.

Also, when you begin, while your body detoxes and gets used to your no-carb plan, you may feel the effects of 'keto flu'. This is a natural reaction that may includebrain fog, headache, chills, sore throat, digestive issues, dizziness, insomnia andirritability.

Conclusion: Done right, it works for some.

A typical day's menu

Breakfast: Scrambled eggsLunch: Beef salad or grilled chicken and vegetablesDinner: Fish or shrimp grilled and vegetables

What then is an optimal diet plan?

For one thing, agree the experts, it should take into account your lifestyles and medical history. It is important to work with a dietitian/nutritionist who personalizes recommendations according to each individuals needs. A successful approach involves one that is tailored to the persons genetics, health status, lifestyle, exposures and health goals, says Hilou.

Key questions when starting on a plan:

Why am I starting this weight loss journey and what do I want to benefit from it?

How committed can I actually be?

Is the diet plan I have chosen one I can see becoming a long term lifestyle?

What are all the things that can slow me down, demotivate me, or stand in my way?

What underlying causes have possibly gotten me to this point, and how can I train myself to fix it?

How do you know a diet isnt working for you?

Sakina Mustansir, Dietician at Prime Hospital, says: It is important to remember that it takes at least a week to three for the body to adjust to the new food schedule and also There are going to be some days when your body requires more energy, your hunger is increased, you feel fatigued and bloated.

Sakina Mustansir

"But these could depend on many factors, from the intensity of your workout to the level of hydration or even your emotional and mental well-being. Over and above these A diet plan is not right for you when:

1. You are tired and fatigued throughout the day and its not restricted to initial days or certain days.

2. You feel you are always hungry and starving yourself even after the first week.

3. You feel lack of concentration, frustration and anger frequently.

4. Headaches that don't seem to stop even after 5-7 days on the plan.

5. You are not losing weight, which is the ultimate goal of most diet plans.

6. Increasing hair fall which is a sign you are not getting enough nutrients.

Runners do weird things. They like discussing anything running related with people who don't know anything about running, for example. They also tend to chat about their bodily functions very openly, which is okay I guess, but maybe not at work. If you would like to be a runner but don't want to be an oddball, follow the rules of running, listed below.

Are you a runner? Nice! Do you run often? Even better! Do you like discussing what are the best running shoes and which one is the best running watch on the market today with your colleagues? Err...fine I guess? Do you like picking dead skin off the soles of your feet around other people? Now, that is just plain wrong.

Runners come in many shapes and sizes and truth to be told, there are more and more runners on the streets, for better or worse. Running has a range of health benefits many of which are listed in this article about why should you try running and it can positively impact your mood too, so it's understandable why many people are keen on trying out this sport.

On the other hand, once people realise how great running is, they tend to go a bit crazy about it and advertise their efforts to everyone as well as shoehorning the subject of running into every possible conversation they might have. Not to mention a few (many?) other behaviours runners take on that others might find bothersome, to put it mildly.

If you like running but don't want to be a social cast out, try to avoid doing the following ten things...

Running is great and if you are one of the few people who find running less of chore and more of a joyful, recreational activity, consider yourself lucky. You might even go for a jog every day, before or after work, just to help your metabolism or reduce stress in your body and that is admirable.

What is not great is telling everyone you went for a run/will go for a run later. Or walking up to people at work and telling them how your feet felt this morning. Or that your socks got wet or that you've seen a weird pigeon during your run.

You can of course mention to people the peculiarities that happened to you (e.g. weird pigeon encounter), but try not to attach the 'run' bit to everything. You can just say, "I saw a pigeon this morning, it was weird", no need to add "...while I was doing my morning 5K with a pace of 5:03 per km using my Asics Gel Nimbus 22, which I like more than the 21 because the cushioning is better under the heels..." Super easy.

Talking to other members of your running group about running: cool. Anyone else: not cool

(Image credit: Adidas)

Someone might ask you, "Have you seen Parasite? Such a great movie, right!?", to which you can answer, "yes I have and I agree", but not "I haven't because I was doing my Sunday long run then I pooped, stretched, showered and was browsing running shoes online and read reviews about the new Garmin, you know, the Forerunner 945, ..."

You have to accept the fact that other people around you might not be as obsessed with running as you are. Just because you run often, that doesn't make running a character trait, just like "I like to travel and also I am a HUGE foodie" doesn't make you sound interesting on Tinder.

If someone asks you about running, feel free to chat about it. Otherwise, try to talk about running to people who are also interested in running.

A lot of office workers like to do physical activities during their lunch break, let it be a full body HIIT workout or just a midday jog. They also get really sweaty, which is completely understandable since they get their heart rate up and put their bodies through its paces.

What is not cool is going back to your desk or respective workstation still sweaty, smelly, wearing your workout tights and tops, devouring whatever stuff you brought for lunch, at your table. That just makes other people uncomfortable around you who are just trying to browse their Facebook feeds in peace.

If your workplace haven't got showering facilities and there is no way you can clean yourself, even with just a flannel and some soap in the disabled toilet, then try to refrain yourself from doing anything physical that'll make you sweat. You can run back home after work or have a shower in the gym. Keeping yourself clean is equally as important as exercising regularly.

Often run at 3 am? As long as you keep it yourself.

For whatever reason, runners do a lot of weird things, like discussing and being (too) open about their bodily functions or perhaps tending to their bare feet/picking their toenails in the middle of the living room. The issue is not that runners are more in sync with their bodies that's great, actually but that they assume everyone else is in tune with it, too.

Healthy nails are important, but just like everyone else, you should look after them in your private time, not during a family meal. Also, having a regular bowel movement is also admirable, but it's also not a subject other people like to discuss often. Try to find a balance between regular maintenance of your body and not doing it around people. It's easier than you think.

Keep to one side of the pavement

(Image credit: CEP)

I know, everyone should give way as you approach them on the street and you can also just run right in the middle of the pavement since there is no way anyone could possibly be faster than you, right?

The sad truth is, this is not how the world works. Self-entitlement is the poison of our society and if everyone would be just a little bit more humble, we would be living in a much better world. And as much as you can't control what other people do, you can still have control over your own action, regardless.

So, next time you go for a run, have a look around before you overtake people. Make sure you keep to one side of the pavement. If you run as part of a running group, try to arrange yourself in pairs or even in a single file if otherwise you'd block the footpath. Be sensible and aware of your surroundings.

It is tempting. Running on the road in your black running tights and top, five in the morning. No one's around, there is no way you'll get hit by anything. You pop those noise cancelling headphones on and off you go!

What you don't take into account is that others might think exactly the same as you. Cyclists might go to work without any lights on. Electric cars don't make much noise and would be hard to hear them approach, even without earphones on. Other runners might venture out into the dark wearing zero reflective apparel.

One way to avoid any unnecessary accidents is to comply to the traffic rules. Don't run where you are not supposed to run. Stop at red lights. Don't assume cars and cyclist can see you just because you can see yourself looking down on your legs. If they notice you too late, you will be the one who'll get hurt the most.

Let's face it: spamming other people's social feed is not cool and just because you enjoy reading articles about running and running gear, that doesn't mean everyone else will enjoy it, too. The worst sin probably is sharing every single one of your running workout on Facebook and Twitter.

You'd be happy to hear, there are places online where people won't mind seeing your every run, on the contrary. Social networks like Strava are a great place to track and share runs, cycling activities and more. there, people love poring over others' physical activities and don't mind discussing anything related to these sports. Keep FB for baby photos and Minion memes only.

You just bought a pair of the best compression tights and you want the world to see it. Especially your colleagues. They will also love your tight fitting running top and your running shoes. Maybe, somehow, you can even wear that cool neck tube you bought on Wiggle, too.

Wearing the appropriate running apparel can help you in many ways: it can oxygenate your muscles and also keep them warm, wick away sweat and so on. You can, however, only enjoy these benefits by running in them, not sitting in the office. Running clothing is not the correct attire in most work environments and will make your colleagues cringe for sure. Keep the tights in your gym bag and wear on your runs, please.

It's a great feeling when you have people asking you about stuff like how to train for a half marathon or what is the best supplement for runners (I'd say protein powder should be on the top of that list). Once you established yourself as an authority in running considering you are approachable in general people will ask you questions.

What is not cool to give people unsolicited advice about running (or on any subject for that matter). Mary, who clearly jogs to lose weight fast, is probably not interested in improving her 5K time. Paul, who is going through a divorce and wants to get away from it all, will not want his form and foot placing to be analysed either.

The greatest thing about running is that it can be different for everyone. Some might run to improve their cardiovascular health, others to lose weight. Many people run competitively but even they can target different distances and principles and therefore have completely different goals. A person competing in 5K road races will train differently than an ultra-marathon trail runner. Not to mention track sprinters.

Although we might be running for different reasons but one thing is for sure: we all love running. It is a great sport and has more benefits than drawbacks (if it has any at all). Whether you prefer indoor runs using Zwift or outdoor runs on the road, make sure you stay present and enjoy the activity when you do it.

Many people struggle with putting on weight and muscle, mostly young men, who think that by only eating twice as much as they usually do will do the trick. Eating more than usual will help the process, but there are other key factors you have to take into account if you want to gain weight and muscle.

Admittedly, 'how to gain weight' is not as popular of a topic as 'how to lose belly fat', yet there are still quite a few people who struggles to increase muscle mass, regardless how much they eat. Not being able to put on weight can be just as frustrating as trying to lose weight, but following our handy weight gain tips, you can nudge your metabolism in the right direction.

The basic concept is fairly straightforward: in order to gain weight, you need to maintain a positive energy balance by supplying your body with more calories than you expend through simply existing and exercising/moving around. The actual process can be a bit more difficult than this and might involve close monitoring of food intake and tracking workouts too. This is not necessary, though.

Here, we'll share some tips that might help you get out of the weight gain rut and put you on the fast track of gaining muscle mass. Some of them will be related to nutrition of course but if you would like to gain weight the right way and also build muscle in the process, you will have to pay attention to your workout regime as well.

IMPORTANT: If you are underweight, have any underlying medical conditions or eating disorders, please consult your doctor first before you apply any changes to your diet. The below tips are more suited for people with fast metabolism who are otherwise healthy and by no means to be taken as medical advice.

The main reason why many people fail to gain weight is the lack of perseverance. Mark Twain once said: "Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times." Most people who struggle with gaining weight have started the process numerous times but never sticked with any diet and/or workout plan for long enough for it to show results.

Another reason might be not knowing just how many calories certain food items contain and not eating enough despite 'eating loads' of food. It is worth tracking your food intake, especially at the beginning, using free apps like MyFitnessPal until you learn roughly how many calories and what macronutrient are in certain food items.

Thirdly, you must keep in mind that a calorie is not always equal to a calorie. One calorie from a broccoli will fuel your body differently than one calorie from fries. Carbohydrates in general take less effort for the body to break down and even the temperature of the food you eat can determine how easily your body can digest it (cold, fibrous food takes more energy to digest).

Let's say your basal metabolic rate is 1,900 calories: that's the amount of calories your body burns in order to sustain itself. If you move a single muscle a day you will burn more than this amount. Walking to work can burn plenty of calories, not to mention all the other small activities you might do throughout the day.

Let's say you need 3,000 calories a day to put on weight. sounds like a lot, right? One way to tackle this increased calorie intake is to increase food intake frequency and eat 5-6 smaller meals a day as opposed to having three 1,000-calorie meals.

If you are planning on eating five meals a day, meal prep can also come in handy. Ideally, you want to eat food that you cooked/prepared yourself but we admit that might be a bit too much effort for some. Regardless, you should still plan ahead and at least roughly assemble the food you are planning on eating throughout the day tomorrow.

In case you are concerned about putting on loads of fat in the process, a 2017 study found that " an increase in the eating frequency can also be correlated with an increased prevalence of normal BMI individuals provided adequate physical exercise", meaning that eating more frequently could help maintain a normal BMI level.

Carbohydrates are important for muscle building but the other two macronutrients, namely protein and fat, are equally as important when it comes to gaining weight. Fatty food will make you feel sated for longer and food with higher fat content tend to taste better too.

Fatty foods you should include in your diet are oily fish, such as salmon and mackerel, nuts (e.g. Brazil nuts), avocado, butter, heavy/double cream, dark chocolate, olive oil and eggs. Most of these are also high in protein so by eating them, you will be killing two birds with one stone.

Talking about protein: protein is essential for muscle building and recovery and you will need to eat more than you'd think to aid weight gain. According to the International Society of Sports Nutrition, "for building muscle mass and for maintaining muscle mass through a positive muscle protein balance, an overall daily protein intake in the range of 1.4-2.0 g protein/kg body weight/day (g/kg/d) is sufficient for most exercising individuals".

The paper goes on saying that "higher protein intakes (2.3-3.1 g/kg/d) may be needed to maximize the retention of lean body mass in resistance-trained subjects during hypocaloric periods", meaning you will have to up your protein intake once you started increasing muscle mass.

It is advised to have at least 20-30 grams of protein with each meal if the plan is to eat five times a day. Protein should be supplied from a variety of sources including green leafy vegetables, fish, lean meat, eggs etc.

Alternatively, you can also consider supplementing protein and have the best protein powder shakes and the best protein bars / best jerky as snacks throughout the day.

One of the main reasons why you might not be gaining weight and particularly muscle mass is the lack of resistance training. If you are after muscle growth, you need to stimulate that muscle growth by training the muscles often. How often?

A 2016 systematic review and meta-analysis concludes that "the findings indicate a graded dose-response relationship whereby increases in resistance training volume produce greater gains in muscle hypertrophy", meaning, quite simply, that the more you work out, the muscular you will get.

This might sound self-explanatory to some but also contradictory to basic bodybuilding principles, namely that resting is almost as important tas the training itself. Just to reiterate, resting is important but resting muscles doesn't necessarily mean not training at all.

Finding a balance between training as often as possible without injuring yourself is paramount. The type of resistance training is up to you but don't fall into the trap of only tracking calories. Even the best running watches and best heart rate monitors can't track muscle activation and by tracking workouts with them, you can easily end up focusing only on burning calories.

What you want to do is the complete opposite: maxing out of workouts that increase strength but don't burn calories. Sure, you should still do some cardio: it's great for heart health and to maintain/improve the cardiovascular system, but try limiting the duration of cardio and let the bulk of your workout be anaerobic movements.

As well as having the occasional protein shake, if your plan is to bulk up a bit and build functional muscle mass, there are other two supplements you might want to consider taking: mass gainer and creatine.

The best mass gainers have loads of calories in them, yet they come in an easy-to-consume powder form so it's easier to stomach one or two servings a day. Better still, weight gainers are most usually low on fat and sugars, compared to the amount of calories they contain.

Creatine, on the other hand, is the bodybuilding industry's best kept secret. According to Healthline, "studies show that [creatine] can increase muscle mass, strength and exercise performance." In another 12-week study quoted by Healthline in the same article, "in weightlifters, creatine increased muscle fiber growth 23 times more than training alone. The increase in total body mass also doubled alongside one-rep max for bench press, a common strength exercise."

Creatine is also cheap and you won't need to take industrial amounts either for it to be effective. 3-5 grams creatine monohydrate a day is enough for most adults.

Barley is rich in proteins and fibre.

Highlights

Trying to lose weight or not, it is important to feed our body with different foods to avail the optimal mix of nutrients. Other than putting in a variety of vegetables, lentils, legumes and fruits in our diet, it is a good idea to use different kinds of cereals as well. Barley, called 'jau' in Hindi, is prized for its high nutrient profile and its bounty of health-benefitting properties. The grain is rich in fibre, proteins and other nutrients, and is considered a good food for easy digestion and for managing diabetes.

Barley is commonly used to make beer and bread and is often used as a healthy rice alternative. Some people use barley to make stews and salads too. Barley water forms an important part of the everyday morning ritual of barley fans. Here we are providing you with some great ideas to include barley in your breakfast diet with some easy and familiar recipes.

A woman trying to be healthy by eating a salad was fined after feeding the chunks of potato from it to pigeons in Piccadilly Gardens.

Ruth Bradshaw, a litter picker in Gatley, said the birds polished off every last morsel of the carb-rich root vegetable.

She has been left angered by the fine, saying all birds 'have a right to live on this planet.'

The 61-year-old had just been for a haircut on Lever Street and had wandered over to Piccadilly Gardens to eat the salad from Nibbles cafe.

The incident happened in August - the first time the career coach had ventured into town from her Stockport home for months.

"Being aware of keeping my distance from others, I found a spot with space around it and sat down on a wall to eat my salad", she recalled.

"As I had put on weight during lockdown, I have been trying hard to lose some weight and so did not want to eat the potatoes in my salad.

"As a lover of wildlife and a member of the Green Party, I decided to give the small amount of potato to the pigeons, which were numerous in the gardens, some looking much healthier than others.

"I gave them tiny pieces which they hungrily devoured", she said.

But to her shock, two enforcement officers approached her and 'reeled off a speech'.

Ruth was so startled that she only heard the word 'litter'.

She claimed: "Their manner was aggressive and unpleasant. I could not really believe what was happening.

"Neither could the people who were sitting on the same ledge as me. They aggressively demanded all my personal details and made gestures towards signs about not feeding the pigeons.

"Rather stupidly, I told the truth and gave them my details.

"I think they also said that if I re-offended, I could have a criminal record.

"They then produced a ticket which said I committed an offence: Litter-food waste.

"The charge on the ticket was 150", she said.

Ruth said she found the encounter shocking, particularly as she is so passionate about the environment and would never drop rubbish.

She is part of a local litter picking group, has her own litter picker, and even has signs printed at her own expense warning people to not litter in Gatley.

"I have looked up the definition of littering. What I did did not constitute littering.

"I always feed the pigeons. Birds of all variety have a right to live on this planet."

Ruth, who has not paid the fine, said she feels angry and upset.

She has written to both Andy Burnham and Sir Richard Leese about the incident as she feels so strongly about the issue.

It's the third time in a handful of months that the Manchester Evening News has written about pigeon feeding fines being handed out in Piccadilly Gardens.

Leonie Ormsby told the Manchester Evening News how she was fined after a pigeon gobbled up her tuna baguette end in 'one peck' at the same location.

Meanwhile Kerris Fenn, 22, was slapped with a hefty bill after feeding part of her vegan sausage roll to the birds.

Executive Member for Neighbourhoods at Manchester City Council, Coun Rabnawaz Akbar, said: "Throwing food on the floor is littering and as residents and visitors want to see a clean, hygienic city centre which is free of waste, we will not turn a blind eye to these offences.

"Pigeon droppings can behazardous to people and can spread potentially fatal diseases, as well as being unsightly and corrosive to buildings and monuments. Not all of the food offered to pigeonswill be eaten and any surplus which is left on the ground could attract other creatures to the area, such as rats.

"Providing food forpigeonsin areas like Piccadilly Gardens causes them to congregate in unnatural numbers, which can cause avian diseases to spread rapidly among the flock, as individual birds compete for the food on offer.

"Dropping your leftovers is bad for the local environment, can be bad for the birds and could also be bad for your wallet, if youre caught in the act of littering.Its great that many people enjoy being close to thepigeonswhen they visit the city centre - but please, dont feed them."

I didnt step into the gym at all during my weight loss journey. I did all my work out within the comfort of my hostel room. Each of my workout session burned 800 kcal roughly. I did two 15-minute sessions of jumping ropes regularly. I also included strength training and a little bit of weight training in my workout regime.

Fitness secrets I unveiled: Weight loss is simple mathematics. Calculate your BMR and adjust your calorie intake and workout sessions accordingly.

How do I stay motivated? I always make it a point to click pictures every time I reach a milestone. My phone wallpaper is of the time when I used to weigh 90 kilos. Seeing how far I have come definitely keeps me motivated.

How do you ensure you dont lose focus? Knowing that I should treat myself with love and respect doesnt allow me to let my body, mind and soul go through any sort of stress--be it unhealthy food or unwanted worries.

Jessica Simpson embarked on a mind and body transformation ahead of her 40th birthday this past July and she certainly kicked all her goals.

The singer and mum-of-three had spent the past decade caring for her family and felt it was time she invested a little time in herself. The results? Well, they speak for themselves

In the last decade, Simpson has dedicated her life, mind and body to her family. She and husband Eric Johnson welcomed their daughter Maxwell in 2012 and son Ace followed in 2013. Then in March 2019, they became a family of five after the arrival of their youngest daughter Birdie in March 2019.

So Simpson was more than ready to reclaim her body for herself.

"She was so motivated and positive," her personal trainer Harley Pasternak told People magazine last year. "She was saying that her body has not belonged to her for the past decade. Not in a bad way, in a positive way her body has been designated to create life and now it's hers again and she's going to make it fantastic in a really enjoyable way."

Just days after giving birth to Birdie, Pasternak said he received a call from Simpson.

But rather than jump straight into the gym, he wanted to focus on a more holistic approach. He instructed the star to focus on eating healthy, getting sleep (at least seven hours a night) and hitting her steps target for the day.

Initially, he had Simpson aim for 6000 steps a day, before increasing it to her usual 12,000 steps. Now she aims for 14,000 steps in a 24-hour period. Not a hard task, given she likes to take strolls with her family.

"Some days she was doing up to 14,000 steps a day," Pasternak told E! News last year. "It might sound like a lot but she's not sweating, she's not huffing and puffing, she didn't have to put on performance clothes to do this. She is going for a walk with her family."

In an August interview with Hollywood Life, Simpson said that she likes to include her husband and kids in her workouts.

"We have a big family so we're always on the go, go, go even if it's just in the house, the yard or the neighbourhood. We go on family walks, we visit the pigs in the neighbourhood, we visit the horses," she said.

"We're constantly active and if our kids are going stir crazy, we all go jump on the trampoline. Just get it out, get the energy out."

In terms of her diet, Pasternak said that Simpson has three meals a day and two snacks each meal is packed with protein, fibre and healthy fats. It's about making healthy choices, not denying yourself of certain food.

"She'll have foods that are very favourable that are healthier versions of things like a tortilla soup or Tex-Mex," Pasternak told People. "And if she has a birthday party one night and a date night another night, she's going to indulge both of those nights, but that's it. It's about balancing in a way that doesn't make it painful or too much of a departure from your life before that."

But everything in moderation, right? Pasternak said that Simpson is still allowed a few cheat meals a week.

"It's been a lot of hard work," Simpson admitted in September 2019 while promoting her new Jessica Simpson lifestyle range on US Home Shopping Network. "I have to say that I have worked very hard. Everything that I've been eating is mostly made with cauliflower. [But] I just ate a bag of Cheetos in the back."

Throw in her 45 minutes of circuit training three days a week and no wonder Simpson is hitting her fitness goals. Pasternak explained that by hitting the gym every other day, Simpson could get lean and streamline her muscles.

Simpson first showed off the results of her hard work in September 2019, when she shared a workout selfie on Instagram.

"Woke up before all 3 kiddos to get my steps in and spend time with me, myself, and I. Move move move for your own mental health," she captioned the pic.

Recently, it appears Simpson is switching up her workouts. The star posted a photo of herself mid-yoga session to Instagram earlier this week.

"Starting the week with a warrior mindset aligned with the beauty of the sunset," she captioned the pic.

Simpson said that she's never hard on herself when it comes to her exercise. If she doesn't hit her fitness goals for the day, she'll just try harder the next day.

"I like to like track my steps, keep myself accountable, and to just know my movement throughout the day," she told Hollywood Life. "If I haven't moved enough, I'll make sure and get in extra steps the next day. For me, it's moderation I don't put too much pressure on myself."

Before starting her transformation in March 2019, Simpson weighed 108kg. Keep in mind, she had just delivered daughter Birdie.

By September 2019, Simpson lost a hard-fought 45kg, but Pasternak revealed they did not set out to reach a goal weight Simpson's goal fro the start was to lead a cleaner, healthier lifestyle.

"I never work with scales," Pasternak said. "My work with her is more about the habits she's created and kept up. Every night before she goes to bed she sends an email showing that she hit all five tasks, so she'll go to bed feeling successful. She's hit her step goal, she's eaten well, she's balanced her responsibilities so she can go to bed with a sense of fulfilment, and that's everything. And as a byproduct of doing these habits, she lost 100 lbs [ 45kg]."

In her Hollywood Life interview, Simpson said she had become uncomfortable with her weight and needed to do something about it.

"My weight was in the high two hundreds [pounds] that's a lot of weight and I was just uncomfortable, but I worked hard and I am a determined person, so if I set my mind to it, I do it. I couldn't handle being so big and my ankles were swollen," she said. "So I'm just happy to feel comfortable again. I was literally uncomfortable for so long that now it's just nice to relax."

What Simpson found exciting about her recent transformation is the fact she could fit into jeans she bought 14 years ago not to mention the 'Daisy Dukes' shorts she rocked in The Dukes of Hazzard reboot in 2005.

"I have kept these throwback True Religion jeans in my closet for 14 yrs (I'm not exaggerating!)," she shared on Instagram in July. "I figured that since I'm in the final hours of my 30's I'd give them another try, and hello 40, so nice to meet you."

Being overweight is linked to an increased risk for premature death, but which part of the body carries the added fat could make a big difference. Extra weight in some places may actually lower the risk.

Researchers, writing in BMJ, reviewed 72 prospective studies that included more than two and a half million participants with data on body fat and mortality. They found that central adiposity a large waist was consistently associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality. In pooled data from 50 studies, each four-inch increase in waist size was associated with an 11 percent increased relative risk for premature death. The association was significant after adjusting for smoking, physical activity and alcohol consumption.

Waist size is an indicator of the amount of visceral fat, or fat stored in the abdomen around the internal organs. This kind of fat is associated with an increased risk for heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, cancer and Alzheimers disease.

But increased fat in two places appears to be associated with a lower risk of death. Three studies showed that each two-inch increase in thigh circumference was associated with an 18 percent lower risk of all-cause mortality. In nine studies involving almost 300,000 participants, a four-inch increase in a womans hip circumference was associated with a 10 percent lower risk of death.

Thigh size is an indicator of the amount of muscle, which is protective, said a co-author of the review, Tauseef Ahmad Khan, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto. And hip fat is not visceral fat, but subcutaneous fat, which is considered beneficial.

Comparing waist size with other bodily measurements reveals still more information about the risk for premature death. Given two people with the same hip size, the person with the larger waist is at higher risk for premature mortality.

For example, consider one man with a 34-inch waist and 37-inch hips, and another with the same hip size but a 41-inch waist. The latters relative risk of death, the researchers found, was almost 50 percent higher. Small changes in this waist-to-hip ratio make a big difference: In 31 studies that reported the ratio, each 0.1 unit increase in waist-to-hip ratio was associated with a 20 percent higher relative risk of death, with a stronger association in women than in men.

It is unclear if there is a risk in having too small a waist. There is a range in these measures, Dr. Khan said, a range in which these numbers are beneficial. Above that range, there is higher risk, but more research has to be done about lower ranges.

Losing excess weight is of course desirable, but there is probably no way to redistribute weight, or lose weight in the waist alone. It doesnt work that way, said Dr. Khan. You have to reduce overall weight, and that also reduces central fatness.

There is a way to put many of these various factors together in a single measurement, using a formula called A.B.S.I., or a body shape index. This calculation includes not only weight and height, like B.M.I., or body mass index, but also age, sex and waist circumference. It may produce a more accurate estimate of risk, the authors say.

A.B.S.I. is used mostly as a research tool, but anyone can calculate it here: https://www.fatcalc.com/absi. Each 0.005 unit increase in A.B.S.I. was associated with a 15 percent higher risk of all-cause mortality.

The takeaway message is watch your waist size, Dr. Khan said. Its more important than a simple measure of weight. You can have a normal weight and B.M.I., but if your waist is large, that puts you at high risk.
