While Ige (14-2) may not be the opponent he desired, Kattar (21-4), who wrestled at Methuen High and is known among UFC fans as The Boston Finisher, will have plenty incentive after signing a new six-fight deal. He will also be fighting in the main event of the second card to be held on Fight Island, the brainchild of UFC president Dana White.

Located on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, Fight Island will allow international fighters to participate without complications due to traveling restrictions. The previous eight UFC events held in the coronavirus era were all in the United States.

There will be four events on Yas Island in two weeks, which began with UFC 251 on Saturday, followed by Wednesdays Fight Night headlined by Kattar. That will be followed by two more Fight Nights on the next two Saturdays.

Thats a historic event in itself. Yas Island is crazy. Ive seen the layout of the place. I cant wait to get out there, Kattar said while spending the Fourth of July holiday with family at Salisbury beach. Im not really excited to get tested for coronavirus four times while Im out there, but at least theyre taking the protective measures that they can, and really trying to ensure fighters safety while were out there.

Kattar has been through this before. His fight with Stephens in Jacksonville, Fla., was on the first card the UFC held since the start of the pandemic, so he endured the nasal swabs leading up to the fight and has an idea of what to expect.

Fortunately Ive been doing the things I can control wearing the mask, using the hand sanitizer just trying to take all of the precautionary measures that youre supposed to, said Kattar. Were doing the right things, focusing on what we can control, trying to put in the work while also being as smart as we can with everything kind of existing from the last one.

The fight with Stephens was agreed upon on Jan. 3, but was postponed three times in the early days of the pandemic. Because of the fights uncertain status, Kattar was forced to stay sharp during what essentially became a four-month training camp before the two finally squared off. He has yet to ease off the gas pedal, despite the broken nose.

Wearing a face mask, trying to fly home the next day, my nose didnt stop bleeding for 24 hours, said Kattar. Its tough to get that thing to stop once its broke. I was bleeding inside my mask all the way home.

He resumed training, wearing a protective mask, and says the nose will be just fine when fight night rolls around. No detail has been overlooked, with Kattar conducting training sessions late at night and again early in the morning to prepare for the eight-hour time difference. The fight will be broadcast on ESPN, with the preliminary bouts starting at 7 p.m. EDT, followed by the main card at 10 p.m. As the last fight of the night, Kattar will enter the cage around midnight, 8 a.m. in Abu Dhabi.

Training during a pandemic has presented Kattar with some challenges. Some workouts were held in his brothers garage, working the heavy bag, followed by sprints up and down the street, listening to the Rocky soundtrack. Others involved working out in small groups and getting some sparring in.

Its not the big gym workouts, but you dont necessarily need those. The devils in the details, said Kattar. Its paying dividends.

At 5 feet, 11 inches, Kattar typically enjoys a size advantage in the 145-pound featherweight division. That again will be the case on Wednesday when he squares off with Ige, who is listed at 5-7. Kattar tries to spend as little time at that weight as possible, shedding the pounds before the weigh-in and then hydrating immediately after to restore his lost weight. By the time he entered the octagon to face Stephens, he was 165 pounds.

If you do it right, it can be a huge advantage, but not everybody has the discipline to do what it takes to cut that amount of weight correctly, said Kattar. You have to start early, it takes a lot of sacrifice, but Im willing to trade everything for this fight.

He is facing a fighter four years younger who has won six in a row. It would seem Kattar has little to gain and much to lose by agreeing to the fight with Ige (14-2), but he doesnt see it that way.

Some people would definitely say this is a dangerous fight to take, but Im not just going to sit on the sidelines when all my dreams are right in front of me, said Kattar. Im going to go out and compete against all these guys that claim to be the best in the world. Whether its now or later, whoever is next in line is going to get it on my way to the top.

Lettuce, spinach, avocado and other low-carb veggies that can help you with quick weight loss right here!

Cauliflower is a low carb high fibre vegetable

Eating a diet low in carbs can help you lose weight quickly. The very famous ketogenic diet is based on the principle of eating more fats, moderate protein and very less carbs. Cutting down on your intake of carbs reduces insulin levels, which makes the body burn stored fat in the body for energy, and this ultimately leads to weight loss. Usually a low carb diet focuses on eating proteins and fats. Fruits, grains, legumes, breads and starchy vegetables need to be avoided if you want to cut down on carb intake for weight loss.

However, there are a few low carb vegetables that you can include in a low carb diet. While some veggies like potatoes, corn and quinoa are high in carbs, there are other vegetables which have negligible carbs can help you weight loss.

The following vegetables are low in carbs and high fibre. You can eat them as part of your salads or on the side of your main meals. They can keep you full for longer too. If you are following a keto diet, you need to take care of the portion size. This is because the priority is to stay in a state of ketosis and not load up on carbs, even if it is from vegetables.

Losing weight can be incredibly challenging regardless of whether youre looking to lose five pounds or 20.

Not only does it require diet and lifestyle changes, it also takes quite a bit of patience.

Fortunately, using a mix of proven strategies can simplify and expedite weight loss.

Here are 10 of the best ways to quickly and safely drop 20 pounds.

It may sound like a no-brainer, but counting calories is one of the easiest and most effective ways to start losing weight fast.

Weight loss occurs when you use more calories than you take in, either by reducing your intake or increasing your physical activity.

While cutting calories alone is generally not considered a sustainable way to lose weight, counting calories can be an effective weight loss tool when paired with other diet and lifestyle modifications.

Keeping track of your calorie intake can increase your awareness of what youre putting on your plate, giving you the knowledge you need to make healthier choices.

Interestingly, one review of 37 studies found that weight loss programs that incorporated calorie counting led to 7.3 pounds (3.3 kg) more weight loss than those that didnt (1).

Try tracking your calorie intake by using an app or a food journal.

Upping your water intake is a simple way to boost weight loss with minimal effort.

In fact, one study found that pairing a low-calorie diet with increased water intake before meals resulted in 44% more weight loss over a 12-week period (2).

Research shows that water may enhance weight loss by bumping up metabolism, temporarily increasing the calories your body burns after eating.

According to one study in 14 adults, drinking 16.9 fluid ounces (500 ml) of water boosted metabolism by 30% after 3040 minutes (3).

Drinking water with meals can also keep you feeling full, reducing your appetite and intake.

For example, one small study showed that drinking 16.9 fluid ounces (500 ml) of water before a meal reduced subsequent calories consumed by 13% (4).

For best results, drink at least 3468 fluid ounces (12 liters) of water per day to maximize weight loss.

To lose 20 pounds fast, including more protein-rich foods in your diet is absolutely essential.

A high-protein diet has been associated with decreased belly fat, as well as preserved muscle mass and metabolism during weight loss (5, 6).

Protein can also help reduce appetite and decrease calorie intake.

One study in 19 adults found that increasing protein intake by just 15% increased feelings of fullness and significantly reduced calorie intake, belly fat and body weight (7).

Another study showed that consuming a high-protein breakfast decreased levels of ghrelin, the hormone that stimulates hunger, by a much greater degree than a high-carb breakfast (8).

Meat, seafood, poultry, legumes, eggs, nuts and seeds are a few healthy sources of protein that you can easily add to your diet.

Decreasing your intake of refined carbs is another useful strategy to accelerate weight loss.

Refined carbs have been stripped of their nutrient and fiber content during processing, resulting in a final product that is nutrient-poor.

Whats more, they typically have a high glycemic index, which means that they are digested and absorbed quickly. Rapid digestion leads to spikes and crashes in blood sugar levels, followed by increased hunger (9).

Consuming high numbers of refined carbs has also been linked to increased body fat and weight gain.

For instance, one study in 2,834 people found that a higher intake of refined carbohydrates was associated with increased belly fat while a greater intake of whole grains was associated with less belly fat (10).

Another small study had similar findings, reporting that a diet rich in whole grains decreased both body weight and calorie intake compared to a diet focused on refined grains (11).

To get started, simply swap out refined grains in pastas, white breads, cereals and pre-packaged products for healthy, whole-grain alternatives such as couscous, quinoa, brown rice or barley.

Resistance training is a type of exercise that involves working against a force to increase muscle strength and endurance.

Adding resistance training to your routine can bump up fat burning and metabolism to help you burn more calories, even while at rest.

One review showed that 10 weeks of resistance training may increase metabolism by 7%, stabilize blood sugar in those with diabetes and lead to 4 pounds (1.8 kg) of fat loss in adults (12).

Meanwhile, another study in 94 women suggested that resistance training preserved fat-free mass and metabolism after weight loss, allowing the body to burn more calories throughout the day (13).

Get started by hitting the gym or doing body weight exercises at home, such as squats, planks and lunges.

Fiber moves slowly and undigested through your gastrointestinal tract, slowing the emptying of your stomach to keep you feeling full longer (14, 15).

One study in healthy men found that consuming 33 grams of insoluble fiber, which is commonly found in wheat and vegetables, was effective in decreasing both appetite and food intake (16).

The satiety-boosting effects of fiber could produce big benefits in terms of weight control.

One review reported that increasing fiber intake by 14 grams per day was linked to a 10% reduction in calorie intake and 4.2 pounds (1.9 kg) of weight loss over a four-month period, even without making any other diet or lifestyle changes (17).

In addition, a 20-month study in 252 women found that each gram of dietary fiber consumed was associated with 0.5 pounds (0.25 kg) less body weight and 0.25% less body fat (18).

Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds are all excellent sources of fiber that are integral to a healthy weight loss diet.

While theres no doubt that switching up your diet and exercise routine are the two most important routes to losing 20 pounds, the amount you sleep could also play a role.

In fact, one study in 245 women showed that both sleeping at least seven hours per night and getting better sleep quality increased the likelihood of weight loss success by 33% (19).

And just as getting enough sleep can set you up for success, sleep deprivation can cause the pounds to slowly pack on over time.

One study following 68,183 women over 16 years found that those sleeping five hours or less gained an average 2.5 pounds (1.14 kg) more than women who slept at least seven hours per night (20).

Another study showed that even a single night of sleep deprivation can increase levels of hunger hormones, which could lead to increased appetite and weight gain (21).

Try practicing a bedtime ritual each night, sticking to a routine and minimizing your intake of caffeine before bed to establish a healthy sleep cycle and enhance weight loss.

Staying accountable to your weight loss goals is key to long-term success. There are many different ways to do so.

For example, weighing yourself daily has been associated with increased weight loss and a reduced risk of weight regain compared to weighing yourself less frequently (22).

Research also suggests that keeping a food journal to self-monitor your intake and progress can help you lose more weight and keep it off longer (23, 24).

You can also try partnering with a friend or joining an online weight loss community to increase your motivation and stay on track towards your goals.

Whether youre looking to lose one pound or 20, adding cardio to your routine is a must.

Cardio, also known as aerobic exercise, is a form of physical activity that increases your heart rate and helps strengthen your heart and lungs.

Whats more, it increases the calories your body burns to aid fat and weight loss.

One study in 141 overweight and obese participants showed that cardio exercise alone was effective at inducing significant weight loss.

In fact, performing cardio to burn either 400 calories or 600 calories five times per week for 10 months resulted in an average weight loss of 8.6 pounds (3.9 kg) and 11.5 pounds (5.2 kg), respectively (25).

Another study had similar findings, reporting that six months of cardio exercise alone decreased body weight by 9% in 141 obese older adults (26).

To maximize weight loss, aim for 150300 minutes of cardio each week, or about 2040 minutes every day (27).

Walking, running, jumping rope, rowing and boxing are some easy and enjoyable cardio workouts that can amp up weight loss.

Mindfulness is a practice that involves becoming more aware of your thoughts and feelings while also shifting your focus to the present moment.

Eating slowly and practicing mindfulness can help increase weight loss and decrease intake while also allowing you to enjoy your food.

For example, one small study demonstrated that eating slowly led to greater increases in satiety hormones and feelings of fullness than eating at a faster pace (28).

Similarly, a study in 30 healthy women showed that eating slowly resulted in decreased calorie intake and greater feelings of fullness compared to eating more quickly (29).

Another review of 19 studies found that mindfulness interventions were able to significantly increase weight loss in 68% of studies (30).

Try minimizing distractions while eating, chewing your food more thoroughly and drinking water with your meal to help yourself slow down and enjoy.

Though losing 20 pounds can seem like a major challenge, it can be done quickly and safely by making a few simple changes to your diet and lifestyle.

For best results, mix and match these tips to enhance both weight loss and overall health.

With a little patience and determination, its entirely possible to drop 20 pounds to help reach your weight loss goals in no time.

How to Lose 20 Pounds as Fast as Possible

Being overly loyal to your running routine can stand in the way of losing weight.

Image Credit: lzf/iStock/GettyImages

Since many gyms remain closed due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, more and more people are seeking simple at-home workouts to help them lose weight. Enter running, an equipment-free exercise that's accessible to anyone with a pair of sneakers.

While pounding the pavement can help you shed pesky pounds initially, you might find your progress petering out after a few weeks or months. If you're running regularly and your weight is barely budging or worse, you're unintentionally gaining you've likely stumbled into some common running traps.

We spoke with Paul Kriegler, a registered dietitian and personal trainer with Life Time, to find out why the number on your scale might be at a standstill and ways to avoid the following four running mistakes.

Running might be your passion, but if you hit the open road every day, it can lead to some serious consequences for your body and ultimately your weight-loss goals.

"The risks of injury or illness go up significantly if someone runs every day without adequate rest and recovery between sessions," Kriegler says.

In other words, when you push too hard and run 7 days a week, your body doesn't have ample time to repair. And once this happens, you're more likely to hurt yourself and get sidelined, which can sabotage your efforts to shed pounds. Think about it: It's hard to exercise and lose weight if you're stuck on the couch for days or weeks nursing an injury.

To keep your body in tip-top shape, you need quality sleep, a nutrient-dense diet with ample protein and produce and a balance of heavy and light physical activity.

Try the following mix of physical activity, per Kriegler:

2. You Stick to the Same Routine

We're all creatures of habit. But sticking to the same running routine speed, distance and route won't do you any favors when it comes to weight loss.

"Once the body adapts to a set of variables (frequency, intensity, time and/or type of activity), then it will just maintain" and your weight loss will likely grind to a halt, Kriegler says.

What's worse, your body could even "break down from the repetitive nature of the same pace, speed and movement patterns, which use the same muscle fibers over and over while others become more or less dormant," he adds. Once again, this is a recipe for injury.

To avoid this and keep your goals on track, train smart and switch things up. No two runs should be the same. "There should be a very noticeable degree of difference between runs if you want to become a fitter, faster, stronger runner," Kriegler says.

For example, one day you might focus on distance and endurance while another you shoot for speed by incorporating sprint intervals. In fact, running intervals boosts your calorie burn and builds lean muscle, which are both good news for weight loss.

3. You Overestimate Calories Burned

Ravenous after a long run? "Physical activity that depletes carbohydrate stores (such as distance running) is often followed by cravings," Kriegler says.

And while it's tempting to binge a big carb-heavy meal post-run, you might be misjudging how many calories you've burned during your workout, leading to unintentional overeating.

"Many runners tend to over-consume carbs either because they physiologically sense they need fuel or replenishment, or because they psychologically feel they've 'earned' some sort of indulgence," Kriegler says.

This "overcompensation is perhaps what makes running such an unpredictable and unreliable weight-loss tool," he says.

Some runners even adopt an unhealthy mindset, using their running to justify overeating or lying around more, Kriegler adds. If this sounds familiar, you might want to take a pause and examine your relationship with food and exercise.

This combination of mostly sedentary behavior and overindulging is not the ideal equation for dropping pounds. For healthy weight loss and a healthier lifestyle in general you should supplement your running routine with a diet of moderately low carbs and lots of protein and plenty of unstructured, low-intensity daily activity, Kriegler says.

4. You Dont Lift Weights

Many runners erroneously think that lifting weights might bulk them up and slow them down. "I've seen many runners focus too much on being 'light' and not enough on being strong," Kriegler says.

To become a stronger, more durable athlete, you should concentrate on maintaining lean muscle while losing fat, Kriegler says. And the way to achieve that is through resistance training.

Building lean muscle not only increases your strength and power and enables you to run faster but it's also particularly important for weight loss. Remember, the more muscle you have, the more calories your body burns at rest.

Plus, cross training can help reduce your risk of overuse injuries and improve your overall fitness, according to the American Council on Fitness.

Running to Lose Weight? Avoid These 4 Mistakes - LIVESTRONG.COM

Fans know me more for losing weight than they do for anything I did in my entire career.

That quote comes courtesy of offensive tackle Jordan Gross, who played 11 seasons with the Carolina Panthers before retiring in 2014. He shared that thought with ESPN, which conducted interviews with nine former NFL linemen about life after football. When I first read it, I found it impressively depressing, but after digging a little deeper, I found it was actually strangely inspiring.

Making a living as an NFL lineman is inherently insane, as you have to constantly eat an absurdly large amount of food in the name of job security. If youve ever tried eating a 5,000 calorie lunch, you know that its certainly no small feat, but if youve been consistently eating 5,000 calorie lunches every day for over a decade, its harder than you thing to suddenly find yourself switching to a normal life and the diet that comes with it.

Gross somehow managed to radically alter his food intake and lifestyle to become a healthy, non-football playing person, and while many of the other guys at his position end up doing the same, anyone whos tried to lose weight knows its not as easy as just telling yourself to eat less foodespecially if youve conditioned yourself to consume as much as you possibly can.

Joe Thomas looks like an entirely different person compared to his appearance during his time on the Browns but the transformation basically required him to reboot his brain, as he said:

Youre training yourself to have an eating disorder the way you view food when youre in the NFL and to try to deprogram that is a real challenge If I went two hours without eating, I literally would have cut your arm off and started eating it.

These guys are essentially forced to be at least 300 pounds, because if you lose a solid chunk of weight, you can also risk losing your job. Many of these players are told their worth can practically be measured in calories and weight, which is an excellent recipe for creating body image and self-esteem issues, which is something former Falcon and Buccaneer Joe Hawley says he constantly struggled with:

I always had this insecurity of being big when it came to dating life; talking to women and going out being a 300-pound man. I didnt want to be that big, but I had to because I loved football and that was my job.

Its straight-up not normal to be this big. Thats not fat-shaming. Thats reality. It is not healthy to force giant meals down your throat every two hours for the sake of your job. But thats what the life of a lineman is like.

One of the wildest discoveries to me is how Thomas says he had to essentially rewire his brain to not eat when he was full. When playing in Cleveland, he had to be constantly chowing down. The man probably hadnt felt an ounce of hunger since he entered the league when he retired. I have a habit of eating ice cream every night and it would take a whole lot for me to stop that, so I can hardly imagine how tough it was for Thomas.

The worst part? Theres not much glory in being a lineman. Headlines are always about the quarterbacks, receivers, and running backs. Occasionally, cornerbacks, safeties, tight ends get some time in the spotlight. But linemen? Not so much. At least theyre finally getting some attention here.

The key to living longer could be to eat a healthy, balanced diet - including at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day - as well as regular exercise. But you could boost your life expectancy by avoiding red or processed meats, it's been claimed.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a well-rounded diet is crucial to prolonging your lifespan.

You could also boost your lifespan by doing regular exercise. Its the miracle cure weve all been waiting for, according to the NHS.

Making some small diet or lifestyle changes could help to increase your life expectancy and avoid an early death.

One of the easiest ways to lower your chances of an early death, and bowel cancer, is to avoid red or processed meats, it's been revealed.

READ MORE: How to live longer - the supplement that could help boost your life expectancy

People that regularly eat the meats are more likely to develop bowel cancer, said dietitian Juliette Kellow and nutritionist Dr Sarah Brewer.

Everyone should avoid processed meats altogether, while limiting themselves to just 500g of red meat each week, they said.

Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers to be diagnosed in the UK.

Most cases arise from polyp growths in the bowel, and around 40,000 new cases are diagnosed every year in the UK.

The digestive tract is designed to extract all the goodness from our diet, they said in their book, Eat Better Live Longer - Understand What Your Body Needs To Stay Healthy.

Each part of the gut is functionally different and responds better to certain foods.

Fibre-rich foods and probiotics promote gut health, while refined foods are linked to disease.

Limit red meat to no more than 500g a week and avoid processed meat altogether. Both are linked to a higher risk of bowel cancer. Processed meat has also been shown to increase the risk of stomach cancer.

Meanwhile, you could also lower your risk of bowel cancer by eating more nuts, added the nutritionists.

Everyone should aim to eat a single serving of nuts every day - about the equivalent to around 28g.

They contain minerals, phytochemical and essential fats that keep the heart healthy and protect against bowel cancer.

Its hugely important to speak to a doctor if youre worried about the signs or symptoms of bowel cancer.

Regular exercise is a crucial aspect to improving overall health, and helping you to live longer.

People that do regular exercise are up to 50 percent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes and some cancers, said the NHS.

It may even slash the chances of coronary heart disease and stroke by up to 35 percent.

All UK adults should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity every week.

Many joked about gaining the quarantine 15 when they were stuck at home for so long. Now, some popular diet trends are heating up again online.

With most gyms now back open and some people even looking to ditch those possible quarantine gains, some trending diets are creeping their way back into our social media feeds.

They include Keto, Paleo, and Vegan, just to name a few.

So what are the most significant differences between a vegan and a meat-eater diet?

Newswatch 16's Ryan Leckey teamed up with a pro to take a bite out of these topics and more.

Jessica Bachman, Ph.D., is a registered dietitian and Director of Nutrition Education for Stronger U Nutrition. It's a global nutrition coaching company with 40,000 members in 50 countries.

Ryan joined Dr. Bachman just outside of Clarks Summit on Thursday, July 9, 2020.

The following key points are from Dr. Bachman to break down the differences:

Vegan Diet

For more on the Vegan Diet and some of the associated health benefits, click here.

Head here for a great podcast by Sigma nutrition, which discusses research on the health benefits of a vegan diet.

Omnivorous (Meat-Eaters) Diet

Benefits of a plant-based diet

(Almost any diet can be plant-based. It simply means you're eating lots of plant-based foods including fruits, vegetables, and whole grains)

The bottom line for weight loss:

Any diet that is well balanced and includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and lean protein sources will provide the greatest health benefits.

Regardless if you're following a Vegan or Meat Eater diet (or any other diet in between), eating fewer calories than you consume will lead to weight loss.

The findings of two new studies link a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes to a high consumption of fruit, vegetables and hearty whole grains.

The studies,recently published in The BMJ according to Science Daily,suggest that even a modest increase in consumption of these foods as part of a healthy diet could help prevent type 2 diabetes.

RELATED:WHO now says theres emerging evidence of airborne transmission of coronavirus

For the first study, researchers looked atthe association between blood levels of vitamin C and carotenoids, pigments found in colourful fruits and vegetables, with risk of developing type 2 diabetes. After studying9,754 adults who developed new-onset type 2 diabetes and a comparison group of 13,662 adults who remained free of diabetes, researchers foundthat every 66 grams per day increase in total fruit and vegetable intake was associated with a 25% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

In the second study, researchers in the United States examined associations between total and individual whole grain food intake and type 2 diabetes. After examining 158,259 women and 36,525 men who were free from diabetes, heart disease and cancer, they found thatparticipants in the highest category for total whole grain consumption had a 29% lower rate of type 2 diabetes compared with those in the lowest category.

Both research teams cite their findings as further evidence that adding more fruits, vegetables and whole grains to your diet can lead to a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Seems like Santa Clarita Diet wont be coming with its fourth season. The streaming platform, Netflix has canceled the much-liked show apparently due to low viewership. Santa Clarita Diet is an American hor-com TV show that first aired on February 3, 2017. It is created by none other than Victor Fresco.

Here is everything you need to know about Santa Clarita Diet Season 4.

The second season released on March 23, 2018, with the next season coming around the same month in 2019. It was announced on April 26, 2019, that the show wont come for another season that took the fans off their feet and not in a good way. It is unlikely that it will be picked up by another channel, for the clause in the contract with Netflix that does not allow it for two or three years. Having said that, we dont think there ever will be another season to watch.

If it ever is picked up by any other platform, we can expect the familiar faces back on the show. Drew Barrymore will play Sheila; Timothy Olyphant will play Joel. Other returning actors include Liv Hewson, Skyler Cisondo, Mary Elizabeth Elis, Natalie Morales, Jonathan.

With the show being canceled and all, we dont know about the plot details of the season. Regardless, the show left with a lot of questions unanswered, which will remain so in the far future as well. If a Season 4 comes to be, it could start with clearing some of the hanging points of the last season. Sheila bit Joel in order to save him. Could it mean that Joel will become a zombie too? How would it affect their relationship? We have no darn clue since Season 4 is dead and buried.

Sheila and Joe are two real estate agents in Santa Clarita. After having eaten infected clams, Sheila undergoes a metamorphosis which makes her undead. Basically, this means that her heart has stopped but she is alive. With this transformation, her diet changes, now lusting for human flesh. Her husband does not leave her side throughout all this, cleaning her tracks wherever she hunts to satisfy her urges. They attempt to deal with their new normal as best as they can and understand how this occurrence originated.

The makers of the show Victor Fresco and Tracy Kautsky stated after the cancelation of the show reached to them and I quote, Netflix took a chance on this odd show, and we will always be grateful for that. They were supportive, ever positive, and appreciative of our work, until about noon today. Still, they were just one phone call away from being a perfect studio. Not bad.

Fans are disappointed with the decision of Netflix to cancel the show. Not many zombie shows give the vibe that Santa Clarita Diet did. The show did a great job of mixing two genres. For now, this is the end of the show. We will update you if there is even a hint of the show coming back.

Till then, check out the article on The Haunting of Hill House Season 2.
