Chrissy Teigen doesnt always clap back at haters but, when she does, she basically always nails it. On Monday evening, that included responding to one particularly rude commenter who suggested Teigen had lost a dramatic amount of weight in a short period of time and, in demanding to know how Teigen did it, even implied Teigen may be suffering from a serious illness. But in true Teigen form, she responded with a solid zinger before giving the commenter a much-needed dose of perspective.

The thread kicked off on Monday evening when Teigen was trying to do fans a solid favor. For you kind folks asking me to drop the skincare regimen, I will admit I am def proud of my skin lately and feeling myself! Teigen said, sharing a list of facial products she has been using in the caption. But the commenter-in-question felt compelled to write, Ok this isnt her or some app that changed her face. I had to look back and forth like 4 times either she dropped 50 lbs overnight or has cancer this isnt right.

While Teigens true fans quickly came to her defense, she also fired off a witty barb. What would you prefer? she replied.

It didnt stop there, though. Despite an onslaught of criticism, the commenter continued, Your bone structure is prominent and recognizable this shot, looks like a completely different person. Did 2 3 double takes. How did you do it?

In another comment, said, Apologies for the lack of tact fullness [sic] should have thought ahead. But, why did I have to go back and forth 3-4 x to make sure it was you? Is it an app? Its not about skincare, but bone structure is completely different youreforth 3-4 x to make sure it was you? Is it an app? Its not about skincare, but bone structure is completely differentyoure unrecognizable.

Although no one would have blamed Teigen for just ignoring the commenter at this point, she dropped into the fray one more time with a bit of logic. Why are you carrying on with this?? Why do you think I owe you anything, especially after what youve said? she wrote. You dont actually know me in real life, right? Thank god.

Were calling it point and match go to Teigen.

Chrissy Teigen Slams Trolls Saying She Lost 50lbs. Because of These Crazy Reasons - SheKnows

Continuing to eat unhealthy foods no matter how delicious they are is not in your best interests.

If you are on a disciplined exercise regimen and you still find out that you are not losing much weight, it could simply be because of some unhealthy foods which manage to sneak into your diet. There are a number of foods which are very easily and cheaply available in all stores. The hectic modern life can make you reach out to flavourful junk food or to any processed readymade foods but these could be the very reason youre not losing any weight.

A study published in the British Medical Journal in 2019 revealed that the consumption of processed foods increases the risk of cardiovascular, coronary heart and cerebrovascular diseases. Another study in Health Promotion Perspectives in 2015 showed that consumption of fast foods or processed, readymade foods dont just lead to weight gain, obesity and cardiovascular diseases, but also does irreparable damage that therapies later cannot correct.

So clearly, continuing to eat unhealthy foods no matter how delicious they are is not in your best interests. Here are 10 unhealthy foods you might be consuming a lot of without realising, and 10 healthy substitutes for them.

1. Chocolate with dark chocolate

When it comes to chocolate, the darker the better should be your mantra instead of grabbing at milk or white chocolates stuffed with all the dry fruits and nuts in the world. This is primarily because cacao beans are rich in fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and dark chocolate is one of the most undiluted forms to get these nutrients from.

strong>2. Chips with baked veggie crisps

No matter what the slogan on that bag of potato chips might declare, you should know that these manufactured chips are indeed processed foods and have additives to increase their shelf life. Why depend on them when you can thinly slice all sorts of veggies (carrots, beetroots, sweet potatoes) and bake veggies crisps at home?

3. Ice-cream with frozen yoghurt

Sugar, high-fat dairy or cream, add-ons like chocolate chips, fake fruit flavours etc. make ice creams extremely unhealthy. Instead of buying a tub of ice cream, you could just freeze some yoghurt at home for the same creamy texture, and add chopped fruits and nuts to give it some flavour and crunch.

4. Butter with olive oil

Sure, the best cuisines in the world promote the use of butter, and it has a brilliant flavour indeed. But its also very high in calories and fat. On the other hand, people from the Mediterranean region (who live long and healthy lives too) use olive oil to cook because its got (healthy) monounsaturated fats, antioxidants, iron and potassium.

5. Red meat with soy chunks

You might already know how bad eating red meat regularly can be for your arteries and heart, and you might think soy cannot possibly meet its flavour profile - but soy chunks, chaanp and steaks can give you that meaty texture while also giving you a healthy, plant-based source of protein.

6. Sugary breakfast cereals with whole grains

Most breakfast cereals are loaded with sugar and preservatives. You can replace those with simply cooked whole grains like oats, barley, quinoa, millets, etc. and jazz up the meal with fresh fruits, yoghurt, nuts and seeds.

7. Sugary jams with smashed fruits

Putting a spoonful or two of jam on toast makes for a sweet breakfast and treat, but its sugary, full of preservatives and absolutely not good for you. You could just smash some bananas, strawberries, blueberries or avocados and put them on your toast for a naturally sweet, sour and totally healthy meal.

8. Mayonnaise with hummus

That jar of mayo might be tasty but its also packed with fat and preservatives. But when you can whip up some protein and fibre-packed hummus with chickpeas at home which can be used as a dip and as something you can put on toast why would you want mayo anyway?

9. Creamy salad dressing with vinaigrette dressing

Youll find shelves packed with creamy salad dressings in most stores nowadays. While eating a salad daily is great, using these unhealthy dressings is not. Instead, you can simply mix olive oil and vinegar/lemon juice to make a quick and nutritious vinaigrette dressing any day.

10. White rice with quinoa

White rice is loaded with carbohydrates and quinoa with protein and fibre. This easy replacement makes a lot of sense and you know it. So make the swap in your diet today.

Strict exercise regime without correct diet is unhel..ace mayonnaise, eight other foods for fast weight loss - Firstpost

With so many different diets available to try, it can be challenging to know which one might best suit you and your personal health goals.

Intermittent fasting can be a great way of burning fat and losing weight for some people. Numerous studies show that it has powerful brain and body benefits.

What is Intermittent Fasting?Intermittent fasting is a specific eating pattern in which you cycle between periods of eating and fasting. You typically choose a window of when you will be eating, and ensure that you only consume food during these hours. There are a few different types of intermittent fasting that each revolve around this main concept, but work around slightly different timeframes or fasting windows. The most popular form of intermittent fasting is the 16:8, which involves eating only during an 8-hour window and fasting for the remaining 16 hours. For example, you may choose to start eating at 12pm until 8pm and then fast during the morning and overnight.

Here are some scientifically-proven health benefits of intermittent fasting.

It helps regulate blood sugar and hormone levelsYour bloods insulin levels drop, causing your body to burn fat, and the blood level of the growth hormone may increase, helping to support fat loss and muscle gain.

It Can Help With Weight and Fat LossIntermittent fasting is known for helping people lose weight and burn body fat. It increases your metabolic rate by 3.6-14%, which helps you burn more calories. This, along with the decreased amount of time spent eating, your calorie intake is already likely to be reduced when fasting, leaving you in a deficit, which is one of the main ways of losing weight.

It May Improve Heart HealthIntermittent fasting has been proven to improve many different health risks, such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, blood triglycerides, and blood sugar levels. It can help prevent you from developing diabetes, but it can also be hugely beneficial for heart health.

Joining the Kardashian siblings with some transformations this week were JoJo Siwa, as the popular YouTuber debuted not one but two new looks in the span of a few days, a Riverdale star took to Instagram to show off his quarantine beard, and a reality TV star showed off his weight loss journey over the last several months, posting a selfie to show off all of his hard work. Pics or it didn't happen and all that, you know?

Check Out the Most Surprising Celeb Transformations of the Week - E! Online

Leading a sedentary lifestyle is one of the biggest culprits behind unexpected obesity. It also increases the risk of developing other health problems. Nilesh, a Chartered Accountancy student watched his weight go up in a similar way and the constant judgement and health issues made him undergo a transformation.His weight loss story is a true example which shows that discipline goes a long way in promoting good health. Read his story below to gain more tips and tricks:Name: Nilesh Choudhary

Age: 26Highest Weight recorded: 85 kilosTotal weight loss: 16 kilos

City: Delhi (Originally from Bihar)

The duration took me to lose fat: It took 3 months for me to lose weight and I have been able to sustain it.The turning point:

I was preparing for my CA exams in Delhi. During my finals, I put on a lot of weight. I didn't even realize I had gone from 67 kilos to 85 kilos. There was a time, I developed such a big belly, it was difficult to stand straight and see my feet.

During this phase, I was bullied by people, even those close to me. I knew, either I could get the weight gain get the worse of me, or fight it out.

I enrolled in a gym and started following the Ketogenic diet.

Breakfast- Paneer- 100gm (home made with low fat milk) + Butter -100gm +Veggies-100gm.I used to make any thing like Chilli paneer, Paneer dopyaja with these three things.

Lunch- Nuts (Soaked Almonds-25, Walnut-4, Friend Peanut-50gm-100gm & Anjeer -2)

Dinner- Mutton 500gm -750gm.

Any snacks I prefer: NoPre workout meal/drink- No pre workout meal/drink.

During workout- Water -1-2 liters with BCAA -1 scoop.

Post workout meal/drink- Whey Protein -25gm (Isolate) + Coconut oil- 25 g

My workout: My regime is a mix of cardio, weight training and functional training. These helped achieve fat loss as well as maintain it. During my transformation days, I worked out for six days a week and never skipped the gym.

Fitness secret: Workout became a priority in my life. I made a commitment to myself that for me to have a body like this, I have to put in efforts to take care of it no matter what it takes.

How do I stay motivated:- I do not look for motivation anywhere outside. I was my only source of motivation and inspiration. In the gym also, it was always ME Vs ME. I try to beat my yesterday, every today. I feel that one needs to scout for motivation from the inside. It has always been ME vs ME. I compete against myself and motivate my own self. Comparison against others isn't going to help.

Since there is no one else who knows my body better than myself, I, along with my elder brother designed my diet plan and workout. This kept me super focussed and meticulate.

How do you ensure you don't lose focus: My hard work and its result kept me focused. I feel, if, you are doing anything for your own self, anything that makes your inner soul happy, then no one in this whole world can divert your focus, except you.

What's the most difficult part of being overweight: I knew that all the extra weight was putting me at the risk of developing health issues. I used to sweat profusely and developed breathing problems. Then there's always the society. Life becomes problematic as people start to judge and look at you in a different way.

What shape do you see yourself 10 years down the line? I want to be the best and fittest version of myself. I want to be in a shape where I can do anything possible-be it acro yoga, stretching, gymnastics, or run a marathon.

What are the lifestyle changes you made: I make my own food every day and minimize my spice and sugar intake.I keep a count of my micros and macros with every meal.I also drink a minimum of six litres of water every day.

Weight loss: ' I was bullied because of my weight. Here's how I lost 16 kilos with Keto' - Times of India

A new study at the UW-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health is recruiting participants to test whether involving a persons significant other in their weight loss helps the process.

The study, Partner2Lose, comes after increased public interest in quarantine weight loss trends, such as Beat Quarantine 15 and Quarantine Lean. They started due to increased weight gain during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is clear that many people want to do something to improve diet and exercise during these challenging times, said UW Health in a statement. The organization noted that while people are working from home, essential workers on the frontlines, at home more because they are in a high-risk group, unemployed or caring for relatives, many people are eating more and exercising less since the pandemic began.

Limited gym access and decreased free time also contributes to weight gain causing UW Health physicians and researchers to be concerned about the potential consequences of significant weight gain such as an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes.

People are clearly worried about the effects of the safer-at-home orders, said Dr. Corrine Voils, professor at the School of Medicine and Public Health and study lead. I worry the people who have gained weight are going to take risky paths to try to lose it or try things that just dont work in the long run.

The weight loss study requires participants to have a partner, but participants are randomized to participate either alone or with their partner in attending classes and personal consultations with a nutritionist. The patient-only group learns a curriculum about weight loss. The partner group learns weight loss and communication skills.

Studies have demonstrated that several options are safe and effective for long-term weight loss including a healthy diet and increased exercise, Voils said. These strategies are part of the Partner2Lose study.

Gov. Tony Evers office told the Wisconsin Restaurant Association it is compiling a list of businesses whose employees tested positive for COVID-19 to fulfill an open records request, not because it intended to publicly identify them, the groups executive vice president says.

The WRA, Wisconsin Grocers Association and Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce this week sent the guvs office and the Department of Health Services letters raising alarm bells about the suggestion the administration planned to publish the names of businesses and the number of COVID-19 cases contracted by their employees.

WRAs Susan Quam told WisPolitics.com the guvs office told her the list was being compiled in response to an open records request and it wasnt something DHS was proactively doing on its own. Quam said that doesnt diminish the WRAs concern about the information being made public.

We do believe that whoever is going to get this information, based on this request, that it still can be easily misconstrued by the public or by whatever entity is going to use it in implying that businesses are unsafe because they had employees who tested positive, Quam said.

Evers office declined to comment, instead referring questions to DHS.

We have no immediate plans to list businesses with COVID-19 positives on our website, said DHS spokeswoman Elizabeth Goodsitt.

She said the agency has received hundreds of records requests and emails relating to businesses that the records custodians and legal team are currently working through to determine what DHS legally must withhold.

All three groups sent their letters to the guv on Wednesday. In its message, the WRA said it had heard from multiple sources that DHS will release the names of businesses that had two or more employees test positive for COVID-19 and had heard the information was expected to be released July 3.

The conservative Empower Wisconsin reported Wednesday that businesses with two or more COVID-19 cases would be outed by DHS, which the outlet reported would post the names.

Several GOP lawmakers seized on the report with Sen. Kathy Bernier, R-Chippewa Falls, writing on Twitter DHS Secretary Andrea Palm should be fired if the agency posts the names of businesses with multiple coronavirus cases.

Thirty-six Wisconsin counties are ranked high by DHS for COVID-19 activity.

Counties hit with both a high burden of cases and a growing trajectory are Brown, Dane, Milwaukee and Walworth. Those four counties alone accounted for 1,057, or over 57 percent of the weekends newly confirmed COVID-19 cases.

In terms of infection ratios, Milwaukee emerged again as the states largest hotspot among other southeastern counties. In three days, Milwaukee County added 584 new COVID-19 cases to its count, giving the county a cumulative total of 12,233 confirmed cases and the highest infection ratio of 12.8 per 1,000 people.

The second-largest hotspot in the state is Brown County which added 81 new COVID-19 cases in three days for a cumulative total of 3,018 confirmed cases and an infection ratio of 11.6 per 1,000 people.

Racine County has an infection ratio of 11.3 per 1,000 people and a cumulative total of 2,217 confirmed COVID-19 cases after adding 30 cases in three days. Kenosha Countys infection ratio is 9.4 per 1,000 people and cases number 1,586 an increase of 55 cases in three days.

Walworth (6.7), Rock (5.6) and Dodge (5.5) counties follow.

And in terms of cases, Dane County went from ranking fourth on Thursday to third yesterday with 2,386 cumulative confirmed cases an increase of 325 in three days. It has an infection ratio of 4.5, up from 3.9 on Thursday.

The Northeast, South Central and Southeast Healthcare Emergency Readiness Coalition regions of Wisconsin are labeled as both high case burden and growing trajectory.

MON AM News: UW-Madison to test if persons significant other helps their weight loss process; Holiday weekend brings record COVID-19 cases -...

Adele Celebs from Adele to Pippa Middleton reportedly love the trendy Sirtfood Diet, but can it help you lose weight? Here, experts explain what the diet involves.

In early May, Adele dropped a shockerbut it wasnt the new album we were ready for (and still waiting for, tbh). Instead, she debuted a totally new look on her birthday, showing off her dramatic weight loss transformation on Instagram while wearing a little black dress.

Though Adele didnt nod to her weight loss in the posts caption, she did speak to a fan about her weight loss journey back in January while she was vacationing in Anguilla. According to People, Adele shared that shed lost about 100 pounds, and while she hasnt made any public statements about how shes lost the weight, several sources have claimed that her new lifestyle reportedly revolves around a trendy eating plan: the Sirtfood Diet.

In January, the New York Post reported that Adele had lost 50 pounds by following the eating plan (and her name was originally attached to the diet back in 2016). A former trainer of the star also told The Sun that she believes the changes in Adele's physique come down to "90 percent diet."

And Adele isn't the diet's only fan. The Sirtfood Diet has allegedly received love from a number of celebs in addition to the "Someone Like You" singer, including Pippa Middleton and famous athletes like former pro boxer David Haye.

The short version: The Sirtfood Diet is said to be rich in foods that contain a particular nutrient that helps trigger genes in the body connected to fat loss and fat storage (more on all this in a minute). And some people say they love it because there are some pretty delicious foods that have these special nutrients (hi, wine and chocolate), so you don't feel deprived.

But...is the Sirtfood Diet too good to be true? Here's everything you need to know about the oh-so-buzzy-right-now weight-loss method, with input from nutrition experts Caroline Apovian, MD, director of the Nutrition and Weight Management Center at the Boston Medical Center, and Edwina Clark, RD, head of nutrition and wellness for Yummly.

The diet comes from the book of the same name. The authorsAidan Goggins and Glen Mattenof The Sirtfood Diet advise eating mostly foods rich in sirtuins, a type of protein in plant foods. "The eating plan itself is designed to 'turn on' the sirtuin genes (particularly SIRT-1), which are believed to boost metabolism, increase fat burning, fight inflammation, and curb appetite," says Clark.

Early studies suggest that calorie restriction and resveratrol (a polyphenol found in foods like grapes, blueberries, and peanuts), activate the SIRT-1 gene, and these two principles underpin the Sirtfood approach to eating.

The diet lasts a total of three weeks and is divided into two phases.

Once those three weeks are up, there's no set plan to follow. To continue on the Sirtfood path, all you have to do is tweak each of your meals to include as many Sirtfoods as possible. Exercise is also encouraged (30 minutes of activity, five days a week), but getting sweaty isn't the main focus of the weight-loss plan.

Though the diet may require you to consume foods you maybe don't on the regular, the meals aren't any less tasty. Potential meals you can have while sticking to the Sirtfood Diet include a celery and blue cheese soup, chicken and kale with spicy salsa, and butternut pumpkin with buckwheat. All three of these recipes are found in the The Sirtfood Diet: The Ultimate Sirtfood Diet Book For Beginners, a recipe book for people new to the diet, but you can also grab inspo from other recipe books or research online. The Sirtfood Diet's website also provides a few meal options, like a baked salmon salad with creamy mint dressing and baked potatoes with spicy chickpea stew.

As for the green juice, which is huge component of the diet, you'll need to have a juicer handy to make it. Here's the recipe:

What foods are considered "Sirtfoods"?

Sirtfoods are any food that is rich is the sirtuin protein, which is type of plant-based protein that has shown some promise in clinical studies to improve metabolic health. Sirtfoods include:

So, can you lose weight on the Sirtfood Diet?

The Sirtfood Diet includes many nutritious foods that are beneficial for weight loss, such as celery, kale, green tea, Medjool dates, lean chicken, lean red meat, and parsley, says Dr. Apovian. The diet also restricts or eliminates many foods that could lead to weight gain, such as refined flours, added sugars, and processed foods with little to no nutritional value. And thanks to that ridiculously low calorie intake, followers will likely lose weight provided they stick to the plan, she says.

"Evidence to date suggests that caloric restriction and intermittent fasting can be an effective strategy for weight loss and improving metabolic health," says Clark. "However, this may not be appropriate for everyone," she says.

There have been no studies done on humans that examine the Sirtfood Diet's effects on weight loss and health, but researchers have done studies on the effect of sirtuin proteins in animals. Sirtuins may play a role in slowing down the aging process and extending lifespan, particularly SIRT1 and SIRT6, per a 2014 study conducted on mice.

An older study, conducted on mice in 2004, found that an increase in sirtuin levels led to fat loss. Though both of these studies concluded in promising results, they don't guarantee that the results would also apply to humans.

Are there any downsides to the Sirtfood Diet?

The long-term sustainability of this plan is questionable. Once you're past the first few weeks, there's no eating strategy to follow other than adding more Sirtfoods to each meal. This makes the diet much more flexible than most, which is a huge perk, but a three-week long stretch of deprivation could easily lead to overeating during phase two, ultimately placing you back at square one.

Even if you're uber-disciplined, this is still a tough diet to follow. "A mere 1,000 calories will leave most people feeling very hungry," says Dr. Apovian. And if you're not a fan of green juice, a staple of the first week, that will make you even hungrier, she says. Also, since most of the weight loss in phase one is water weight, it will come right back on once you resume normal eating, she says.

According to Men's Health, eating fewer calories can come with its own troubles. If you're not used to eating less throughout your day, you may also experience fatigue, nausea, impaired mental focus, and headaches.

Plus, following any diet that doesn't include a healthy amount of protein (e.g., during the first week of the Sirtfood Diet), may result in muscle loss and a slower metabolism, says Dr. Apovian, making it harder to manage your weight. To lose weight and keep it off, building muscle through eating plenty of protein and working out with weights is paramount.

On top of all that, research on SIRT-1 activating foods is still very much in its infancy, so it's unclear whether consuming polyphenol-rich foods has a substantial impact on weight in everyone. "Weight is a multi-faceted concept, involving complex interactions between our unique genetic makeup and our diet, movement patterns, sleep habits, and emotional state," notes Clark.

Ultimately, eating a diet rich in a variety of healthy foods, including lean protein sources, different fruits and vegetables, and whole grains is a healthier, more sustainable way to lose weight and keep it off, says Dr. Apovian.

The bottom line: The approved foods in the Sirtfood Diet are low in calories and high in nutrients, which is great for weight loss. However, this particular diet may be restrictive and tough to maintain. Talk to a doc you trust about whether the plan is right for you before starting it.

As we are stuck at home due to the lockdown, we tend to eat more unhealthy foods and spend more time doing nothing. And most of us are already seeing the result of this sedentary lifestyle in our waistline. Looking for the best ways to shed those extra inches? Going to the gym is not an option now. But you can do at-home exercises and control your diet to prevent weight gain or reduce those extra kilos. There are also certain foods that can help with weight loss. Oat and rye bran are one of them. Also Read - Weight loss: This is how ginger diet will help you battle the bulge

A new study, published in the Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, suggested that consumption of dietary fibre from oat and rye bran can help reduce weight gain and hepatic inflammation by increasing the growth of beneficial microbes in the intestines. The study was jointly conducted by researchers from the University of Eastern Finland, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and the University of Hong Kong. Also Read - Want to reduce facial fat? These food habits will help

Previous studies have already linked consumption of oat, rye and other whole-grain products to decreased inflammation and improved glucose, lipid and adipose tissue metabolism. They are also known to reduce the risk of obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases and type-2 diabetes. Also Read - Try the lacto-vegetarian Indian diet for sustained weight loss

For the study, the research team fed mice with a high-fat Western diet for 17 weeks. They then divide two groups who were fed the same diet enriched with 10 per cent of either oat or rye bran. This study especially focused on the gut microbial metabolites relevant to the development of fatty liver disease, which is often linked to obesity. The microbial metabolites were assessed by measuring cecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), ileal and faecal bile acids, and the expression of genes related to tryptophan metabolism.

The researchers found that both bran fibres enhanced the production of SCFAs, which improved gut integrity, and reduced liver inflammation. Moreover, both oat and rye supplementation was found to reduce weight gain associated with a high-fat diet, the researchers noted.

For years, grains have been a major part of our diet. But high intake of refined grains has been shown to cause health problems like obesity and inflammation. So, opt for whole grains, which can provide multiple health benefits. Whole grains are high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and protein. It is the bran the hard, outer shell that provides most of the fiber in whole grains.

Eating whole grains is associated with various benefits, including a lower risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. The fiber in whole grains can improve digestion by giving bulk to stools as well as a lower risk of constipation. Some researches have also suggested that whole grains can prevent cancer. Whole grains strongest anticancer benefits are seen against colorectal cancer, one of the most common types of cancer.

You can add whole grains to your diet in many ways. You make a cooked porridge out of oatmeal or other grains, sprinkle toasted buckwheat groats on yogurt, make polenta out of whole-grain cornmeal, add barley to vegetable soups, etc.

Want to lose some weight? Add oat and rye bran to your diet - TheHealthSite

As lockdowns begin to ease across the world, plenty of us have only interacted with friends and colleagues on video calls for the last few months. It's no surprise people are now looking to lose weight: without having to leave the house (or even dress properly from the waist down), "lockdown weight gain" has become a real worry for many.

Some people might want to lose belly fat to get back to the way things were, while others might be using this lockdown period to make a real lasting change to their health and fitness habits. With gyms currently off-limits, here are a trio of common sense, science-backed health hacks to start losing weight faster.

It sounds almost too simple, but drinking a single pint of water can have an immediate weight-loss effect.

The scientific Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism found drinking just one pint of water increases your metabolic rate, which means your body will burn more calories while at rest. After drinking 500ml of water, the study recorded metabolic rates improving by up to 30%, with the benefits lasting for one hour.

It's a great way to lose belly fat: often, we confuse thirst with hunger and get "snackish" when dehydrated, so drinking lots of water also curbs our appetites in addition to raising our metabolic rate. Drinking pints of water in regular intervals throughout the day will result in you feeling less hungry and burning more calories, all without lifting a finger.

It's long been thought there's a link between a lack of sleep and increased appetite. If you have less energy while you're tired, you're naturally going to try and grab more energy from food. However, the connection between sleep and appetite runs even deeper than we thought.

One researcher from the University of Washington found lack of sleep interferes with the production of leptin and ghrelin, the two hormones in our bodies responsible for regulating appetite. Sleep doesn't just recharge our batteries, preventing us from getting that energy elsewhere: it also has a direct hand in appetite regulation.

Second Nature, a new online habit change programme commissioned by the NHS, recommends getting between seven and nine hours sleep each night.

With the stresses of a global pandemic outside your door, it's easy to turn to a glass of wine, beer or gin and tonic to take the edge off. However, the more we drink, the more we disrupt our body's approach to food.

A study in the journal Nature Communications reveals why so many drinking sessions end up with a late-night burger or kebab: alcohol switches the brain into "starvation mode", simulating hunger and encouraging us to eat more.

Combined with the fact lots of alcoholic drinks like beer and wine are chock-full of calories, and it's easy to see why an increase in our alcohol consumption also increases our waistline,
