The Bojangles Bo-Bowl. Ahh what could have been.

The winning coach should for sure get a Mayo bath instead of a Gatorade bath.

This makes me want to vomit. Brings back memories of an ex whom I eventually learned would eat mayonnaise packets. Happy Friday, TKP.

30 Easy Ways to Lose Weight Naturally (Backed by Science)

There is a lot of bad weight loss information on the internet.

Much of what is recommended is questionable at best, and not based on any actual science.

However, there are several natural methods that have actually been proven to work.

Here are 30 easy ways to lose weight naturally.

When it comes to weight loss, protein is the king of nutrients.

Your body burns calories when digesting and metabolizing the protein you eat, so a high-protein diet can boost metabolism by up to 80100 calories per day (1, 2)

A high-protein diet can also make you feel more full and reduce your appetite. In fact, some studies show that people eat over 400 fewer calories per day on a high-protein diet (3, 4).

Even something as simple as eating a high-protein breakfast (like eggs) can have a powerful effect (4, 5, 6)

One of the best things you can do to become healthier is to base your diet on whole, single-ingredient foods.

By doing this, you eliminate the vast majority of added sugar, added fat and processed food.

Most whole foods are naturally very filling, making it a lot easier to keep within healthy calorie limits (7).

Furthermore, eating whole foods also provides your body with the many essential nutrients that it needs to function properly.

Weight loss often follows as a natural side effect of eating whole foods.

Processed foods are usually high in added sugars, added fats and calories.

What's more, processed foods are engineered to make you eat as much as possible. They are much more likely to cause addictive-like eating than unprocessed foods (8).

Studies have shown that the food you keep at home greatly affects weight and eating behavior (9, 10, 11).

By always having healthy food available, you reduce the chances of you or other family members eating unhealthy.

There are also many healthy and natural snacks that are easy to prepare and take with you on the go.

These include yogurt, whole fruit, nuts, carrots,and hard-boiled eggs.

Eating a lot of added sugar is linked with some of the world's leading diseases, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer (12, 13, 14).

On average, Americans eat about 15 teaspoons of added sugar each day. This amount is usually hidden in various processed foods, so you may be consuming a lot of sugar without even realizing it (15).

Since sugar goes by many names in ingredient lists, it can be very difficult to figure out how much sugar a product actually contains.

Minimizing your intake of added sugar is a great way to improve your diet.

There is actually truth to the claim that drinking water can help with weight loss.

Drinking 0.5 liters (17 oz) of water may increase the calories you burn by 2430% for an hour afterward (16, 17, 18, 19).

Drinking water before meals may also lead to reduced calorie intake, especially for middle-aged and older people (20, 21).

Water is particularly good for weight loss when it replaces other beverages that are high in calories and sugar (22, 23).

Fortunately, people are realizing that coffee is a healthy beverage that is loaded with antioxidants and other beneficial compounds.

Coffee drinking may support weight loss by increasing energy levels and the amount of calories you burn (24, 25, 26).

Caffeinated coffee may boost your metabolism by 311% and reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes by a whopping 2350% (27, 28, 29).

Furthermore, black coffee is very weight loss friendly, since it can make you feel full but contains almost no calories.

Glucomannan is one of several weight loss pills that has been proven to work.

This water-soluble, natural dietary fiber comes from the roots of the konjac plant, also known as the elephant yam.

Glucomannan is low in calories, takes up space in the stomach and delays stomach emptying. It also reduces the absorption of protein and fat, and feeds the beneficial gut bacteria (30, 31, 32).

Its exceptional ability to absorb water is believed to be what makes it so effective for weight loss. One capsule is able to turn an entire glass of water into gel.

Shop for glucomannan supplements online.

Liquid calories come from beverages like sugary soft drinks, fruit juices, chocolate milk and energy drinks.

These drinks are bad for health in several ways, including an increased risk of obesity. One study showed a drastic 60% increase in the risk of obesity among children, for each daily serving of a sugar-sweetened beverage (33).

It's also important to note that your brain does not register liquid calories the same way it does solid calories, so you end up adding these calories on top of everything else that you eat (34, 35).

Refined carbs are carbs that have had most of their beneficial nutrients and fiber removed.

The refining process leaves nothing but easily digested carbs, which can increase the risk of overeating and disease (36, 37).

The main dietary sources of refined carbs are white flour, white bread, white rice, sodas, pastries, snacks, sweets, pasta, breakfast cereals, and added sugar.

Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating.

There are a few different ways to do intermittent fasting, including the 5:2 diet, the 16:8 method and the eat-stop-eat method.

Generally, these methods make you eat fewer calories overall, without having to consciously restrict calories during the eating periods. This should lead to weight loss, as well as numerous other health benefits (38).

Green tea is a natural beverage that is loaded with antioxidants.

Drinking green tea is linked with many benefits, such as increased fat burning and weight loss (39, 40).

Green tea may increase energy expenditure by 4% and increase selective fat burning by up to 17%, especially harmful belly fat (41, 42, 43, 44).

Matcha green tea is a variety of powdered green tea that may have even more powerful health benefits than regular green tea.

Shop for green tea and matcha green tea online.

Fruits and vegetables are extremely healthy, weight-loss-friendly foods.

In addition to being high in water, nutrients and fiber, they usually have very low energy density. This makes it possible to eat large servings without consuming too many calories.

Numerous studies have shown that people who eat more fruits and vegetables tend to weigh less (45, 46).

Being aware of what you're eating is very helpful when trying to lose weight.

There are several effective ways to do this, including counting calories, keeping a food diary or taking pictures of what you eat (47, 48, 49).

Using an app or another electronic tool may be even more beneficial than writing in a food diary (50, 51).

Some studies have shown that using smaller plates helps you eat less, because it changes how you see portion sizes (52, 53).

People seem to fill their plates the same, regardless of plate size, so they end up putting more food on larger plates than smaller ones (54).

Using smaller plates reduces how much food you eat, while giving you the perception of having eaten more (55).

Many studies have shown that low-carb diets are very effective for weight loss.

Limiting carbs and eating more fat and protein reduces your appetite and helps you eat fewer calories (56).

This can result in weight loss that is up to 3 times greater than that from a standard low-fat diet (57, 58).

A low-carb diet can also improve many risk factors for disease.

If you eat too fast, you may eat way too many calories before your body even realizes that you are full (59, 60).

Faster eaters are much more likely to become obese, compared to those who eat more slowly (61).

Chewing more slowly may help you eat fewer calories and increase the production of hormones that are linked to weight loss (62, 63).

Coconut oil is high in fats called medium-chain triglycerides, which are metabolized differently than other fats.

Studies show that they can boost your metabolism slightly, while helping you eat fewer calories (64, 65, 66).

Coconut oil may be especially helpful in reducing the harmful belly fat (67, 68).

Note that this does not mean that you should add this fat to your diet, but simply replace some of your other fat sources with coconut oil.

Shop for coconut oil online.

Eggs are the ultimate weight loss food. They are cheap, low in calories, high in protein and loaded with all sorts of nutrients.

High-protein foods have been shown to reduce appetite and increase fullness, compared to foods that contain less protein (69, 70, 71, 72).

Furthermore, eating eggs for breakfast may cause up to 65% greater weight loss over 8 weeks, compared to eating bagels for breakfast. It may also help you eat fewer calories throughout the rest of the day (4, 5, 6, 73).

Chili peppers and jalapenos contain a compound called capsaicin, which may boost metabolism and increase the burning of fat (74, 75, 76, 77).

Capsaicin may also reduce appetite and calorie intake (75, 78).

Probiotics are live bacteria that have health benefits when eaten. They can improve digestive health and heart health, and may even help with with weight loss (79, 80).

Studies have shown that overweight and obese people tend to have different gut bacteria than normal-weight people, which may influence weight (81, 82, 83).

Probiotics may help regulate the healthy gut bacteria. They may also block the absorption of dietary fat, while reducing appetite and inflammation (84, 85, 86).

Of all the probiotic bacteria, Lactobacillus gasseri shows the most promising effects on weight loss (87, 88, 89).

Shop for probiotics online.

Getting enough sleep is incredibly important for weight loss, as well as to prevent future weight gain.

Studies have shown that sleep-deprived people are up to 55% more likely to become obese, compared to those who get enough sleep. This number is even higher for children (90).

This is partly because sleep deprivation disrupts the daily fluctuations in appetite hormones, leading to poor appetite regulation (91, 92).

Fiber-rich foods may help with weight loss.

Foods that contain water-soluble fiber may be especially helpful, since this type of fiber can help increase the feeling of fullness.

Fiber may delay stomach emptying, make the stomach expand and promote the release of satiety hormones (93, 94, 95).

Ultimately, this makes us eat less naturally, without having to think about it.

Furthermore, many types of fiber can feed the friendly gut bacteria. Healthy gut bacteria have been linked with a reduced risk of obesity (96, 97, 98).

Just make sure to increase your fiber intake gradually to avoid abdominal discomfort, such as bloating, cramps and diarrhea.

Many people brush or floss their teeth after eating, which may help limit the desire to snack or eat between meals (99).

This is because many people do not feel like eating after brushing their teeth. Plus, it can make food taste bad.

Therefore, if you brush or use mouthwash after eating, you may be be less tempted to grab an unnecessary snack.

Food addiction involves overpowering cravings and changes in your brain chemistry that make it harder to resist eating certain foods.

This is a major cause of overeating for many people, and affects a significant percentage of the population. In fact, a recent 2014 study found that almost 20% of people fulfilled the criteria for food addiction (100).

Some foods are much more likely to cause symptoms of addiction than others. This includes highly processed junk foods that are high in sugar, fat or both.

The best way to beat food addiction is to seek help.

Doing cardio -- whether it is jogging, running, cycling, power walking or hiking -- is a great way to burn calories and improve both mental and physical health.

Cardio has been shown to improve many risk factors for heart disease. It can also help reduce body weight (101, 102).

Cardio seems to be particularly effective at reducing the dangerous belly fat that builds up around your organs and causes metabolic disease (103, 104).

Jackson and more pets up for adoption in Phoenix-area shelters this week – AZCentral

Arizona Republic Published 10:00 a.m. MT June 19, 2020

Every year, approximately 6.5 million companion animals enter shelters nationwide, according to theAmerican Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Of those, about 3.3 million are dogs and 3.2 million are cats.

Each week,The Arizona Republichighlights a handful of the many pets up for adoption at Valley shelters. To check the status of a specific animal, please contact the shelter directly.

Interested adopters can view available pets, like Jackson, and schedule an appointment online at azhumane.org/adopt.(Photo: Arizona Humane Society)

With a quick glance at handsome Jackson, one might think a Direwolf had wandered off the set of the infamous HBO series, "Game of Thrones," and made its way to the Arizona Humane Society. Although not a very distant relative of his wild cousins, the 9-year-old Alaskan Malamute mix, unfortunately, found his way to the shelter after he and a few other pets were abandoned at their residence. Luckily, neighbors quickly alerted AHS Cruelty Investigators to this situation and they were found to be in good health.

Jackson is a stunning boy who weighs in at a whopping 110 pounds and is in need of a family dedicated to helping him lose weight through diet and exercise, as he is considered to be obese by AHS Second Chance Animal Trauma Hospital veterinarians. It was also found that he has arthritis and losing weight will help alleviate some of the pressure put on his joints, as well as help his energy levels and overall health.

Already an instant favorite of staff at AHS, Jackson is the definition of a gentle giant. Always right by his two-legged friends side, this big teddy bear loves to shadow his people and would much rather have company versus playing into the lone wolf stereotype. Absolutely amazing on a leash, a fan of air conditioning, belly rubs and getting his fur brushed, this sweet boy would love to have a big yard he can roam in and an even bigger bed he can snuggle with his family on.

How to adopt: The Arizona Humane Societys adoption locations remain closed as the shelter continues to heal and rehabilitate pets coming in but its Virtual Matchmaking Adoptions by appointment is available to place pets with their forever families. Interested adopters can view available pets, like Jackson, and schedule an appointment online at azhumane.org/adopt.

Friends For Life requires an appointment be made for anyone interested in meeting Mayla. Please go to its website at azfriends.org.(Photo: Friends For Life Animal Rescue)

Mayla is a 4-year-old Chihuahua/Pug blend, weighing about 13 pounds.She is a very sweet, shy girl who might prefer a quieter home. Mayla is living in a foster home with several other dogs and her foster parents feel she might be more comfortable in a less chaotic home.

Mayla will need a special person who will go slow with her and give her a little time to adjust to a new home and routine. Her foster mom says in addition to being a sweetie, she's gentle and a true joy to have around.

How to adopt: Mayla's adoption fee is $150 and she is spayed, licensed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Because Friends for Life's adoption center is an active environment and Mayla being a bit scared there, she can be seen by appointment only. Please don't let that stop you from meeting Mayla! E-mail Friends for Life Animal Rescue at Debbie@azfriends.org for more information or to make arrangements! Orif you have another type of dog or cat friend in mind visit azfriends.orgfor information on many other dogs and cats needing a home.Friends for Life's adoption center is located at 952 W. Melody Avenue in Gilbert.

In keeping with the guidelines regarding COVID19, Friends for Life is practicing "social distancing" which requires an appointment be made for anyone interested in meeting the dogs or cats. Please go to their web site at azfriends.org,follow the instructions in the "pop-up", and fill out the consultation form prior to visiting the adoption center.

Interested adopters can view available pets, like Clover, and schedule an appointment online at azhumane.org/adopt.(Photo: Arizona Humane Society)

It is hard to look at Clover, or any adorable bunny for that matter, and not instantly be in a brighter and better mood. Absolutely adorable and unique, this cute girl is halfway through her first year in this world at just six months old. Clover and three siblings were found with their mother in late February and brought to the Arizona Humane Society by a Good Samaritan as domesticated bunnies cannot survive on their own in the wild.

These cuties were old enough to be weaned and separated from their mom but needed some time to get bigger and stronger prior to their spay/neuter surgeries. Because of this, they were placed in a loving AHS Foster Hero home for a few months where they received lots of care, were given plenty of socialization and regular checkups to ensure they were happy and healthy.

Clover is a beautiful girl who is sure to bring lots of joy, laughter and love to her future home and although extremely cute and loving, she is a great example of why it is so important to prepare for bringing a new pet into the home. It is vital to make sure that proper research is done on any pet prior to adding them to your family to ensure you are not only able to give them the life they deserve but also that you have the time, energy, space and resources to give them that also fit for you and your family, as well.

How to adopt: The Arizona Humane Societys adoption locations remain closed as the shelter continues to heal and rehabilitate pets coming in but its Virtual Matchmaking Adoptions by appointment is available to place pets with their forever families. Interested adopters can view available pets, like Clover, and schedule an appointment online at azhumane.org/adopt. For those who have not filed their taxes yet and would like to help homeless pets like this one, Arizona residents can make a voluntary contribution via their tax forms to fund spay/neuter services throughout Arizona.

Staying safe and healthy in the summertime | News, Sports, Jobs – SalemNews.net

Editors Note

Thanks to breakthroughs in medicine and nutrition in recent years, we are living longer than ever before. But this increase in life expectancy also brings an increase in the number of diseases, injuries and impairments that affect older adults. With this in mind, we at the local Visiting Angels office in Salem have created this series of articles to keep our older population and their families informed and to offer some practical advice for meeting the challenges faced by seniors and those who care for them.

While most of us look forward to getting outside and enjoying the sun and warmer temperatures during the summer, prolonged exposure to the sun or extreme heat can be dangerous, and even deadly, especially for older people, whose bodies arent able to adjust as quickly to increases in temperature and who arent as fast to notice thirst and the effects of dehydration. With a few simple precautions, however, everyone can get out there and enjoy all the fun that summer has to offer.

As people age, their bodies lose the ability to conserve water, which makes older people more susceptible to the effects of dehydration. Unfortunately for seniors, the feeling of thirst decreases with age, and they may not register it as quickly as they once did. By the time a person starts to feel thirsty, dehydration has already begun.

While the amount of water needed to stay hydrated varies from person to person and is affected by factors like weight, age and activity, in general, a person should drink a cup of water for every 20 pounds of weight. Those living in hotter areas or who exercise more may need to replenish fluids more often. Those fluids being consumed should be decaffeinated and non-alcoholic. Carbonated soft drinks can also contribute to dehydration.

The bodys ability to adjust to temperature change declines over time, and even small temperature increases can have a drastic effect on seniors living with chronic medical issues. For that reason, loose, light-colored clothing is recommended for the outdoors on hot summer days. Light colors absorb less sunlight than darker colors, and loose-fitting clothes allow the skin to breathe.

Long sleeves and pants protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun, while hats with wide brims keep the sun from beating down on the face and back of the neck. Wrap-around sunglasses that protect the eyes from UVA and UVB rays should also be worn.

Long sleeves and hats alone may not always be enough to protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun. Sunscreen should also be worn to prevent sunburn. The most effective sunscreens have an SPF (sun protection factor) of 15 or higher and block both UVA and UVB rays.

To be effective, sunscreen should be applied 15 to 30 minutes before going out into the sun, and it should be reapplied frequently during water activities, when it can be washed off easily. Bug spray should also be worn in the evening to prevent mosquito bites, especially by seniors, who are more susceptible to West Nile Virus and encephalitis.

During the summer months its important to have a place to go inside and escape the heat and humidity. The easiest place to do this is in a persons own home, provided it is equipped with an air conditioner or central air. Those without AC can find shelter from the heat by visiting with friends who do, or by spending the hottest part of the day at a library, shopping mall or movie theater.

Its a good idea to limit outdoor activity during the day to the morning and late evening hours, when temperatures outside are cooler and the suns rays are less intense. The hours of strongest sunlight are between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

It is important to recognize the signs of heat stroke and watch for them, especially for older people. Heat stoke is an advanced form of hyperthermia, unusually high body temperature, and it can be fatal if left untreated. Seek immediate medical attention if you or someone you are with is experiencing disorientation or confusion, has skin that is dry and flushed, is not sweating, has nausea or vomiting, is lethargic or excessively tired, has a headache, is breathing heavy or has a rapid pulse, or faints. In addition to getting medical help, get the person experiencing any of these symptoms out of the heat and place ice packs on their body.

Because high temperatures and exposure to the sun can be dangerous for older adults, it is important that they let family or friends know when they will be outside for extended periods of time, even if its only going for a walk or working in the garden. It is also a good idea to check in on older loved ones or neighbors to make sure they are keeping cool and coping with the heat. If their home is not air conditioned, take them to a place that is.

Seniors should also talk to their doctors about the side effects of any medications they might be taking that could make them more sensitive to UV rays or medications that become less effective if stored at higher temperatures.

Information provided by Visiting Angels, Americas choice in homecare. Visiting Angels non-medical homecare services allow people to continue enjoying the independence of their daily routines and familiar surroundings.

Cung Le looks back on drug-testing fiasco with UFC: They threw me under the bus – BJPENN.COM

In 2014, shortly after a TKO loss to Michael Bisping in Macau, Cung Le tested positive for elevated levels of Human Growth Hormone (HGH). The UFC promptly handed Le a nine-month suspension, which was later elevated to a twelve-month term.

Fight fans were quick to pile-on and vilify Lebut things were not as cut-and-dry as they seemed.

In the weeks following Les failed drug test, it became clear that his result was due to a handful of errors and oversights on the part of the UFC and its partners.

While operating in Macau, which does not have its own athletic commission, the UFC operated as its own governing body, and hired a local testing facility to undertake anti-doping measures. As it turned out, this facility was not WADA-approved, and made a number of key errors in its testing proceduresmost notably testing Le after a gruelling fight, at which point HGH levels would naturally be higher.

They said I took HGH, Lee recounted on the latest episode of BJPENN.com Radio. Dr. [Don] Caitlin, an Olympic testing specialist, didnt stick up for me because he knew me or liked me. He stuck up for his 10 years of research saying that UFCs claims against me for taking HGH were wrong.

If youre doing testing, you have to test when [the test subject] is fasted and when their resting heart rate is normal or when they just woke up, Le continued. They literally tested me and Michael right after the fight. I was clean of everything else. I even took another test and put it out there and compared the two tests. Of course my HGH level was spiked because I literally got blood drawn out of me right after the fight. They pulled me back to the bathroom when I was all bloody, I actually had just lost the fight. I went four and a half rounds against Michael Bisping. Of course my levels are going to be elevated. Im bleeding out of my face, the bone underneath my eye was broken. So my body was trying to heal itself right then and there, of course my HGH levels going to be through the roof. And then for them to throw me under the bus

Cung Le continued, explaining that his and Bispings tests were destroyed immediately after the fact, which also damaged the credibility of the claims against him.

I asked them, hey, wheres Michaels test? [I said] I want to do the blood test again, lets do it again. Theyre like, Oh, its been destroyed. So right there I knew if youre not on their team, if youre not with them, youre against them.

Just prior to his fight with Bisping, Le had been offered a new eight-fight deal with the UFC. He says he declined to sign it because he wasnt able to connect with his lawyer, but the UFC encouraged him to sign anyway, evidently upset by his reluctance.

Right before I left, they wanted me to sign another eight-fight deal, Le said. I wouldve signed it. I was already thinking of moving down in weight, because all these guys [at middleweight] are so huge.

I mentioned that to Dana[ white], he added. I didnt sign my deal memo right then and there, because my lawyer was out of town. They wanted me to sign it right then and there, like literally the day before I flew out to Vietnam to finish up my training camp so I could acclimate to the time in China.

Les failed drug test and resulting suspension were ultimately rescinded for precisely the reason he describes above. After this fiasco, however, he decided against signing a new deal with the UFC, and instead requested his release from the promotion.

He has not fought since.

Today, Cung Le is involved in an anti-trust lawsuit against the UFC. Hes also working as a brand ambassador for a new combat sports promotion called EKIC, which places significant importance on treating fighters properly.

Bryson DeChambeau had the perfect response when asked about how much he was eating – Golf Digest

Outside of a few missed short putts on Friday, Bryson DeChambeau has done just about everything right through 36 holes at the RBC Heritage. Hes unleashing the kraken, as he calls it, only when necessary. Hes laying back and playing for position, then attacking pins. While hes not making as many putts as hed like, hes still making plenty, enough to be one back of Webb Simpsons lead of 12 under.

Following a second-round 64 at Harbour Town, DeChambeau, who now weighs a beefy 240 pounds, was asked how much fun it is to be able to eat whatever you want. Its everyones dream, chowing down on whatever, whenever, and not becoming a pig. DeChambeau is living it right now, and he explained it as only he can.

It's nice. I get to eat -- it's a two-to-one carb-to-protein ratio, and I literally just have at it, he said. I eat whatever I want whenever. Obviously, I'm trying to control the intake of sugars, but carbs are fine because I'm obviously sweating like crazy out here. So I just eat as much as I want right now. It's nice. And I don't gain weight. I actually lose weight. I've lost a little bit of weight this week.

That quote led to a hilarious exchange between DeChambeau and the reporter who originally asked him about eating whatever he wants:

Q: But how much of the weight gain that you've done here over the last few months is attributable to just caloric intake? I mean, obviously, you've been working out and all that too, but that must be a big part of it. Does it mean eating whatever you want?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Are you saying that I'm fat?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: I'm kidding.

Well played Bryson, well played. Of course, his comedy routine didnt deter him from explaining that much of his weight gain is all muscle.

Look, my body fat percentage has maybe gone up a percent or two, but it's not gone up that much at all, he said. I would say a lot of it has been attributed to muscle. It's a lot of muscle. People don't believe me when I say it, but you don't understand my work ethic at that point if you're thinking it's not muscle.
