MOST people think losing weight involves sticking to a rigorous diet and ditching the food you love.

However, blitzing body fat doesn't need to be as taxing as this, according to medics and dietitians.

1

In recent weeks, countless experts have been encouraging slimmers to try intuitive eating if they want to trim down.

As Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and Clinical Director of Patientaccess.com, tells us: "Intuitive eating is about rejecting the diet mentality, recognising your hunger (and taking notice when youre full), respecting your body and learning not to use food as a coping mechanism.

"It also means no foods are off limits, and many people worry that if they let go of control, they will end up gaining more weight.

"But intuitive eating is also about learning to value your body and the foods that make it feel good."

Intuitive eating is also about learning to value your body and the foods that make it feel good

The eating plan was developed in the Nineties by two American dietitians based on their experiences of working with overweight people, and the growing popularity of the non-diet movement.

And a recent review of about 25 studies showed that people following intuitive eating generally weigh less than those following restrictive diets.

According to the British Heart Foundation (BHF), there are ten basic principles slimmers need to know if they're following intuitive eating...

Intuitive eating is all about rejecting diets, constraints or schedules that surround food and learning to listen to the body.

Throw out the diet books and magazine articles that offer you the false hope of losing weight quickly, easily, and permanently.

It is all about eating when your body tells you that youre hungry and stopping eating when you are full.

Learning to honour this biological signal sets the stage for rebuilding trust in yourself and in food.

No foods are off limits. Allowing yourself to have the foods banned by restrictive diets removes any guilt you might feel about eating them.

And when its no longer forbidden, the food may not seem so appealing.

"Eating what you actually want can mean you feel more satisfied with your meal if you deny yourself, you might go on to have unhealthy snacks anyway," say the BHF.

How to work out if you're a healthy weight

The body mass index (BMI) is a measure that uses your height and weight to work out if your weight is healthy.

The BMI calculation divides an adult's weight in kilograms by their height in metres squared. For example, A BMI of 25 means 25kg/m2.

For most adults, an ideal BMI is in the 18.5 to 24.9 range.

For children and young people aged2 to 18, the BMIcalculation takes into account age and gender as well as height and weight.

If your BMI is:

We've all experienced that feeling off guilt after we've dived into the biscuit tin or helped ourselves to another slice of cake.

Be aware of and challenge internal negative thoughts that categorise foods as good or bad and lead to feelings of failure or guilt when you cant stick to a diet plan.

Think before you eat. Tune into your hunger levels, and only eat when you are hungry.

Pause during the meal to think about how it tastes and how full you are.

Stop eating when you are comfortably full, even if that means leaving food on the plate or saying no to dessert.

Dont eat while you are in the car, rushing to an appointment or distracted (whether its by television, work or something else).

Studies show that people who eat while doing something else are likely to eat more, either at the time or at their next meal.

Concentrate on your food while you are eating so you can appreciate and enjoy it.

From moments of stress to times you're feeling sad and lonely - we're all guilty of using food to deal with our emotions from time-to-time.

However, while it might offer a short-term fix, it doesnt resolve the problem and it certainly won't help when it comes to your waistline.

The BHF say: "Find another way of dealing with the emotion whether its going for a walk, or trying to fix the issues that are causing negative emotions."

NHS advice on calorie intake

As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight.

For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day.

These values can vary depending on age, size and levels of physical activity, among other factors.

Our bodies need energy to keep us alive and our organs functioning normally.

When we eat and drink, we put energy into our bodies. Our bodies use up that energy through everyday movement, which includes everything from breathing to running.

To maintain a stable weight, the energy we put into our bodies must be the same as the energy we use through normal bodily functions and physical activity.

An important part of a healthy diet is balancing the energy you put into your bodies with the energy you use.

For example, the more physical activity we do, the more energy we use.

If you consume too much energy on one day, do not worry. Just try to take in less energy on the following days.

Letting go of unrealistic expectations of body image, will help you keep on track with your weight loss journey.

In particular, accepting and respecting your body at every size will help you to feel better and make choices about food and exercise that are logical, rather than emotional.

Often find yourself setting targets to burn a certain amount of calories in one gym session?

Well, if you're trying intuitive eating, experts say you should be focusing on how exercise makes you feel rather than the amount of calories it is burning.

"Choose something you enjoy, whether its dancing, walking, running, gardening or team games, rather than forcing yourself to do something you dont enjoy," say the BHF.

Lastly, those behind intuitive eating encourage slimmers to pick meals and snacks that are nutritious, but also satisfying and tasty.

And remember that one slip does not mean a fall.

One meal or one day where you dont eat particularly healthily wont make a difference in the long term its what happens on most days that matters.

Dr Jarvis credits intuitive eating for helping people to lose weight - as it removes the obsession with food and the cycle of yo-yo dieting.

She said: "Many factors have contributed to the rising levels of obesity in the UK.

"Among them are ever-rising levels of ultra-processed foods and unhealthy carbs; increasing portion size; grazing between meals and mindless eating while were not concentrating on our food.

"But our obsession with food and the cycle of yo-yo dieting many people go through plays a major part too.

Fat loss becomes much harder to predict when enjoyment of calorie dense food is left unaccounted for

"Intuitive eating isnt for everyone but I often discuss it with patients. If they feel it is right for them, I encourage them to try it, often with real success."

On the other hand, fitness expert Graeme Tomlinson cautions that intuitive eating could leading to slimmers overeating.

He wrote on Instagram: "Of course one can lose fat whilst following intuitive eating structures.

"But in doing so, fat loss becomes much harder to predict when enjoyment of calorie dense food is left unaccounted for.

"By listening to our desire, it is highly likely that we will consume favourite foods in excessive quantities."

He added that people should instead control their calorie intake if they want to lose weight.

He said: "Whilst calorie counting is not the only way to lose fat, it is the closest mechanism to the principles of calorie balance - which is fundamental to fat loss/gain."

One of my brothers has always had a particular affinity for white wine.

He used to joke about losing a pound for every bottle he drank on his personally constructed wine diet.

I could lose more weight, hed deadpan, but I keep passing out.

That line always earned a laugh. The very notion of drinking booze to lose weight seems inimical to everything weve been taught about alcohol.

So it was a surprise, then, to learn a wine-based diet not only exists but was a popular fad in the 1970s, and, spurred by social media, it flared briefly again a few years ago.

The three-day diet promises participants can shed five to seven pounds which seems like little gain for its unhealthy monotony.

Breakfast is a hard-boiled egg, black coffee, and a glass of dry white wine preferably Chablis.

Lunch is two hard-boiled eggs and two glasses of wine with black coffee. Dinner offers a break, with a five-ounce steak (150 grams), grilled with black pepper and lemon juice, black coffee, and the rest of the bottle of Chablis.

A bottle of wine a day is the staple.

The U.S. writer Helen Gurley Brown, later editor of Cosmopolitan magazine, included the strange diet in her 1962 book, Sex and the Single Girl.

Fifteen years later, Vogue magazine reprinted it and the diet became a short-lived fad among young women determined to lose weight quickly.

More recently, the Vogue wine and eggs diet had a flirtation on social media. It went viral on Twitter and the Internet was soon littered with stories penned by women who had given it a run.

Most reported losing weight, but also feeling sick, tipsy, lethargic, and cranky.

Cranky? Small wonder. Most of us could find more caloric intake while lost in the woods. Worse, half of the calories it allows are from the wine!

Now Ive been known to tip a glass or two, but the notion of wine for breakfast ranks up there with cold pizza and having a tooth pulled.

Helen Gurley Brown and Sex and the Single Girl helped promote the concept of a waif-like figure for young women. Men who preferred plump girls, she warned, were unsure of their masculinity.

The Vogue wine and eggs diet has enjoyed a few brief runs of popularity but, fortunately, its participants quickly lose an appetite for it.

Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello are switching neighborhoods and moving to a new $26 million Beverly Park mansion in an ultra-private neighborhood. The power couple currently lives in their 11,400 square-foot California villa in Beverly Hills, but it is time for a change. The Americas Got Talent judge and True Blood actor have invested in their new dream home in the mountains above Beverly Hills. The 17,000-square-foot property is sitting on 1.84 acres surrounded by a virescent landscape and refined lawns. This is definitely an upgrade from the Mediterranean-styled mansion they have lived in for the past eight years.

The custom Tuscan estate features six bedrooms, ten bathrooms, a secluded pathway with olive trees, a Mediterranean-inspired pool, stone fountains, a massive kitchen with marble counters, an outdoor kitchen for family gatherings, indoor gym, Venetian-style home theatre and a spacious entertainment room. Of course, Sofia and Joe will have new neighbors including Denzel Washington, Sylvester Stallone, Eddie Murphy, Kimora Lee Simmons, Mark Wahlberg, Rod Stewart and Paul Reiser. The gated residence belonged to fewer than five owners and was originally built in 1999. However, it was renovated by former Giants slugger Barry Bonds. Diana Chen, was the last owner who listed the marvelous residence to $30 million, but the couple agreed to pay $26 million.

For the past few months, people have been working out inside their homes. Bedrooms became yoga studios, offices doubled as cycling spaces.

But now, as states reopen, some gyms and fitness studios are welcoming customers again.

People are antsy to get back to their normal exercise routines, but many are left wondering how risky going to a gym is right now.

Health experts say the key to protecting yourself comes down to four things: masking, physical distancing, handwashing and whenever possible, taking your workout outdoors.

Heres what to know if youre thinking about going back to the gym.

One of the main concerns health experts have about COVID-19 is how readily it can spread through the air via respiratory droplets, especially in confined spaces.

Researchers from South Korea recently warned people against rigorously exercising in confined spaces like fitness studios.

For an early release report published in Emerging Infectious Diseases, Korean researchers looked at a confirmed case of COVID-19 and eventually traced consecutive confirmed cases back to a nationwide fitness dance class.

Ultimately, the research team found 112 COVID-19 cases linked to dance workout classes across 12 different facilities.

According to the researchers, the moist, warm air combined with turbulent air flow from exercising may create an environment in which droplets can spread readily.

Based on recent research, aerosolized droplets can remain airborne for up to 3 hours, making the potential for spread in crowded and confined spaces such as fitness studios problematic, said Dr. Robert Glatter, an emergency medicine physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.

The size and intensity of the class can also impact transmission.

According to the study, transmission was detected in fitness classes that were about 50 minutes long, were held in a studio measuring around 645 square feet, and included anywhere from 5 to 22 people.

People breathe harder when they work out, which is the prime way the virus spreads from person to person.

When people breathe more rapidly and more deeply, they expel greater numbers of droplets, Glatter said.

Keep in mind that even if people who have COVID-19 dont have symptoms, they can still spread the disease.

Dr. Anne Liu, infectious disease physician with Stanford Health Care, said people are most infectious the day before, day of, and a couple of days after developing symptoms. They can even transmit the virus several days before symptoms appear, Liu noted.

If a person is asymptomatic or presymptomatic, they can expel viral particles into the air through droplets that can become aerosolized, according to Glatter.

This increases the potential of transmission among people in hot and crowded fitness studios with poor air circulation, Glatter said.

The most effective solution is to take your workout outside, according to Liu.

Gyms with access to outdoor space should consider hosting fitness classes outside, Liu said.

The risk for contracting the coronavirus outdoors is lower than contracting it inside because coronavirus particles can disperse more quickly outside.

When working out outside, people should still stay 6 feet away from others, bring their own equipment, and limit the number of people in the group.

Remember, just because youre outside doesnt mean you cant get sick it just means you have a lower chance of being exposed to viruses in the air.

If your heart is set on going to the gym, make a plan.

Liu said everyone has to grade their own risk.

Look at local transmission in your area (more outbreaks could mean you have a higher risk) and what local health authorities are saying about community spread.

Consider your own underlying health conditions and age, and whether its safe for you to be in confined spaces with others.

Each person needs to really assess their own risk, and then assess the risk of that situation to determine whether that level of risk is acceptable to themselves, Liu said.

At the gym, practice good hand hygiene, bring your own equipment when possible, and disinfect any communal weights or mats you may use.

You may also want to consider wearing a mask while exercising.

Though this can be tricky with high intensity workouts, masking will ultimately help us share space again, according to Liu.

Physical distancing can cut your risk of developing COVID-19, too.

Until theres a readily available vaccine, we shouldnt let our guards down at the gym just yet.

People are antsy to get back to their normal exercise routines, but many are wondering how risky going to a gym is right now.

Early evidence shows COVID-19 can spread readily in confined spaces where people are rigorously working out. The safest thing to do is take your workout outdoors.

If your heart is set on the gym, its crucial to look at community spread in your area and your own risk factors. When in doubt, wear a mask while exercising if possible, practice physical distancing, and keep washing your hands.

Wednesday was a big day for Nathan Jespersen. Not only was he able to open his five Anytime Fitness locations, he also was able to open the inside of his ax-throwing bar in Stillwater.

Thats a big deal for us, Jespersen said.

He opened his gyms, which are mostly in the east metro, early around 4:30 am. The Life Time fitness club in Edina had a steady stream as it opened this morning and had state officials on hand to check out how a 400-page reopening manual translates into business.

Wednesday was the first day that fitness centers, bowling alleys and some other activities could reopen in Minnesota if they followed social distancing and other restrictions.

At the Anytime Fitness in Cottage Grove, there were about a dozen people exercising in the facility at one time, which is busy for an Anytime Fitness, Jespersen said.

I think the gym is a place for people to connect, he said. Its not just about fitness.

His bar the Lumberjack had only been open about three months before Jespersen and his wife had to close it due to the threat of the coronavirus. Last week, they were able to open an outdoor ax-throwing pit. Wednesday they will be able to reopen the inside, but only half the lanes will be used.

At the Life Time fitness facility at the Southdale Center in Edina, the members there were eager to exercise. Members were spaced out on treadmills and other machines. Workers in masks were seen spraying weights and training mats with disinfectant. Signs on walls, machines and the floor directed people to social distance.

Steve Grove, commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, and states Chief Information Officer Tarek Tomes visited the facility Wednesday morning to inspect how the fitness center was working to safely reopen.

Life Time founder Bahram Akradi said he was happy with his companys preparations, which were detailed in the 400-page operational manual.

Why you come to Life Time is because of the collective experience you have with these people, Akradi said, as he sat in the Edina facilitys cafe.

Akradi said he and his team of employees were thrilled to be open.

Sectors like ours got hurt the most, he said. We were shut down the longest. Despite the losses we had to take, I am not shaken.

Members were lined up at all of the 23 Life Time locations Wednesday morning before their 5 a.m. opening, a Life Time spokeswoman said.

Kelly Lukanen of Eden Prairie was glad to be back at the Life Time Edina center Wednesday. She had started working with a trainer and cardio coach to help her lose weight and had made a lot of progress in a 60-day weight loss challenge at the gym before it was forced to shut in March.

It was a disaster, she said. I gained it all back.

She said she thought Life Time had taken the right steps to reassure members of the facilitys safety.

Its good to be back.

TrillFit CEO Heather C. White is still breaking a sweat with her clientele with free on-demand YouTube classes (www.trill.fit/trillfit-at-home). If Im doing an early class, I love to play Before I Let Go from Homecoming right before I get into it, White said. Its the happiest song. It never fails to put me in a good mood and it gets me moving. Bonus track: When White switches to a strength-based workout, she turns up Nicki Minajs Yikes. That helps her get in the mind-set where I can grab that heavier set of weights and really crush it.

Physical by Dua Lipa

Achieve Fitness co-owner Lauren Pak is also keeping clients in her virtual flow (www.achievefitnessboston.com/virtual-classes) and recommends Physical from Dua Lipas Future Nostalgia album. For high intensity, I like EDM, so Ill pick popular songs and look up the remixes because theyll have more interesting beats, she explained. Pak and her husband have also added their 18-month-old to their workout crew. He knows if Im on the floor in a push-up position, hell hop on my back, she said. Its been fun to get him involved and remember that any movement is good. Even if I only get in five push-ups.

Stronger than Ever by Raleigh Ritchie

Between her online strength and cardio classes, Boston fitness pro Erin Bailey (www.ebaileyfitness.com) is keeping up runs through this period of social distancing. I was finishing my long run last weekend, literally entering my final mile, when Stronger Than Ever came on, she said. Its this tough beat that builds and [is] all about coming together. Bailey cited her favorite line as motivation for not only finishing a run but getting through this challenging time: And I wont be crushed by the weight of this town/Ill fall from the sky but I wont fall forever/Ill fall but when I rise Ill be stronger than ever.

Give a Little Bit by The Goo Goo Dolls

Former Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi says hes keeping up with his runs and recommends this 90s cover of the Supertramp classic for a little pep in your step. The Goo Goo Dollss sunny, catchy version came on during a difficult long-run when he was training for the 2014 Boston Marathon. I was struggling up one of the hills in my neighborhood, Bruschi remembered. I just ran 13 miles, was exhausted, and didnt have anything left in the tank. That song came on and it gave me the push I needed to get up that final hill.

This Is Me from The Greatest Showman soundtrack

Fitness guru and YouTuber Sarah Dussault (https://sarahfit.com) reaches for the bold, colorful The Greatest Showman soundtrack for her workouts. It sounds cheesy, and maybe a little slow, but the beats and lyrics make for an easy motivational playlist, she said. Epic ensemble hit This Is Me and Zac Efron and Zendayas power ballad Rewrite the Stars are must-repeats. The next thing I know, Im feeling better from a rush of endorphins," Dussault said.

Two Thousand and Seventeen by Four Tet

Pilates instructor Kara Duval (www.karaduvalpilates.com) keeps an active Zoom and Instagram Live class schedule and says the ambient electronic instrumentals by Four Tet keep her motivated at home. One woman [in my class] said it felt like she was in an underground nightclub in Berlin, Duval said. Its moody but light ethereal. For heavier workouts, Duval likes another Four Tet track called Insect Near Piha Beach. "Youll feel more connected to muscles you didnt even know you had, she said. Music sets you up for an environment. Its not so it can distract you. Its to bring you into the vibe that much more.

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV/AP) -- The YMCA of Dane Co. is now the latest in more than a thousand fitness facilities to sever links with the CrossFit organization following its now-former CEOs tweet about George Floyd that sparked a social media backlash.

With so many folks of all races and backgrounds standing together in support of justice and equity around the world, I was especially disheartened to see the divisive comments of CrossFit CEO Greg Glassman, YMCA Presdient/CEO Mark Westover said.

Westover said they are dropping their relationship with the CrossFit immediately. So far, around 1,250 gyms have ended their affiliations and Reebok cut its ties with the exercise brand.

The YMCA doesnt plan to end its scalable strength and conditioning program altogether, though. The organization said it will move forward with it under the Four Core Community Fitness name. Nothing else is expected to change.

Scott Shoemaker, Senior Director of Marketing and Communications, told NBC15 the person who runs the YMCA's strength and conditioning program is African-American, and the YMCA wanted to support him and members of color.

Glassman said in a statement posted on CrossFit Inc.'s website late Tuesday that he decided to retire. In light of his leaving the company, Westover added that there is a chance the YMCA will partner with the company down the road, but said it needs to see an established pattern of change in the organization before making that consideration.

Other Madison gyms are also taking action and ending their relationship with CrossFit.

"The words of Greg Glassman were powerful and hurtful," said Nikole Gessler, owner and founder of CrossFit Recursive.

CrossFit Recursive announced Monday the gym would end its affiliation with CrossFit.

"We just felt like we needed to make sure to take a stand on this," Gessler explained, adding, "Distancing ourself from the CrossFit name and finding ways to be better in the community."

Gessler explained she has worked to make her gym inclusive for everyone, especially for the LGBTQ members.

"Getting rid of mens and women's things, we've had a lot of transgender athletes," she described.

However, Gessler felt she could do more for members of color.

"We haven't always done everything we can do to support people of color and other minorities," she said. "It's just important for our family to make a difference and stand up and try for some real change finally."

Now, Gessler is rebranding her gym as Recursive Fitness and Nutrition. To legally end the affiliation with CrossFit, she has to remove anything connected to the brand, including all logos and signs, and rename the website and social media accounts.

Other CrossFit gyms are taking action. . CrossFit Big Dane said Monday it would also end its affiliation if Glassman did not step down.

NBC15 reached out to CrossFit Big Dane Wednesday to find out if the gym reached a final decision after Glassman's resignation, but did not hear back.

Glassman had angered many with his glib response to a tweet by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, a health research group, which said, "Racism is a public health issue."

"It's FLOYD-19," he replied on Saturday, and in a second tweet criticized the group's "failed" quarantine model and accused it of attempting to "model a solution to racism

Floyd died while handcuffed after a white police officer pressed his knee into his neck for several minutes. His death set off protests around the U.S. and the globe.

A Central Massachusetts gym owner was ordered to close his business last week after opening his doors in May in defiance of Gov. Charlie Bakers phased coronavirus reopening plan.

In an emergency hearing in Worcester Superior Court on June 5, David Blondin, owner of Prime Fitness & Nutrition in Oxford, was ordered by Judge Susan Sullivan to stop operating his gym until permitted to do so by an executive order from the governor, according to court records.

Bakers four-part reopening strategy puts gyms in the third phase, allowing them, in a best-case scenario, to reopen on June 29. The later reopening date has drawn ire and sparked defiance from some gym owners.

Ahead of the governors announcement detailing the specifics of the reopening plan last month, Blondin told gym members in a video posted to Facebook that he would begin operating again no matter what on May 18.

Im not stepping down. Im staying open as long as I have to," Blondin told MassLive last month.

Prime Fitness reopened with reduced capacity and with staff cleaning the gym regularly. Blondin only allowed people with existing memberships to enter the gym and did not permit people to buy day passes or members to bring in guests.

Going against public health guidance from the state and federal government, Blondin recommended that members not wear face coverings when inside the gym. They will not be able to breathe well while working out, he claimed.

The gym owner was given both verbal and written warnings by town officials, who said they would issue Blondin fines and a cease-and-desist order if he continued to keep the gym in operation.

In May, Blondin noted he had no plans to close his business again and urged other businesses across the state to reopen as well.

A GoFundMe page was set up for Prime Fitness to pay off fines issued by the town. Any remaining money from the fundraiser would go to a mental health charity, according to Blondin.

All small businesses need to take a stand and open their doors," the gym owner said. "This is impacting our businesses and our families.

The town of Oxford, on behalf of the communitys board of health, sued Blondin on May 28. Officials filed a motion for a temporary restraining order halting Prime Fitnesss operations, which Sullivan later granted, according to court records.

The defendants, along with their agents, servants, employees, and all others in active concert with any of them, are enjoined from operating the gym and fitness center at the property located at 1 Norwood Court, North Oxford, Massachusetts, until permitted to do so under any executive order issued by the governor, the records said.

The software firm said it recently retooled and expanded parts of its software with components designed to increase communication with gym members

ST. LOUIS ClubReady, a Chesterfield-based provider of management and billing software for fitness studios, has bolstered its technology to meet the changing needs of gyms due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The software firm said it recently retooled and expanded parts of its software with components designed to increase communication with gym members and help gyms practice social distancing.

Founded in 2009, ClubReady is owned by parent company Clubessential Holdings of Cincinnati and provides software and services for boutique fitness and wellness studios. It has more than 4,000 customers.

Perhaps one of the biggest changes ClubReady has made to its software during the coronavirus pandemic is integrating its technology with video conference software Zoom. That addition has allowed gyms to provide a hybrid class structure including in-person instruction that can also be streamed online.

One thing that were seeing is that studios that are opening are still maintaining their virtual presence too. I think thats going to be a little bit of a new norm, said Darol Lain, president of Club Ready.

The pandemic has forced ClubReady to think differently about how its fitness studio clients operate, Lain said. That means ensuring its technology offers gyms expanded tools that can be tailored to the varying social distancing requirements across states and municipalities.

Many gyms, Lain said, have instituted contact tracing of members and pivoted their check-in systems, using ClubReady's no-touch technology offering barcode scanning or online sign-ins. Lain said check-in processes have become an increased priority for many fitness facilities because of COVID-19 restrictions on how many users their gyms can hold at any given time.

About 25% of the studios and gyms that use ClubReadys software have reopened, Lain said. The company said its clients have had more than 300,000 combined weekly unique member check-ins, which totals nearly 40% of previous highs prior to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.
