There seems to be an endless amount of ways to lose weight. Although many trendy plans restrict carbohydrates, there are several ways to put the concept into practice: Keto, Atkins, and Slow-Carb.

The Slow-Carb Diet was originally popularized by Timothy Ferris in the 2010 book, The 4-Hour Body. Keep in mind that Ferris is a technology advisor and investornot a dietitian. According to the book description, Ferris developed the plan in his quest to hack the human body. With the wisdom of athletes, doctors, and personal experimentation, Ferris says he uncovered an easy way to lose weight.

The plan operates on five basic rules, according to Ferris' website:

These guidelines are meant to give you maximum results by doing the least amount of work, according to Healthline.

You can consume whatever you want if it comes from one of five food groups: animal protein, vegetables, legumes, fats, and spices.

This means dairy (except cottage cheese), fruit, and fried foods are off limits.

"Hes making food rules," says Melanie Boehmer, R.D. at Lenox Hill Hospital. "Do these things and youre going to lose weightperiod."

Essentially, this is a very simplified low-carb plan that emphasizes high-fiber foods, she explains.

Generally, Boehmer doesn't recommend eliminating entire food groups. Restrictive diets can lead to cravings, an unhealthy relationship with food, and nutrient deficiencies.

The plan claims to prohibit dairy and fruit because they cause insulin spikes, but that isn't exactly true.

For background: Insulin, a hormone that helps your body use blood sugar from carbohydrates, increases after meals. Generally, blood sugar is used for energy or stored for future use. The problem occurs when your body doesn't respond well to insulin and stores blood sugar as fat.

"Ideally, we try store it [blood sugar] in muscle," says Boemer. Excess blood sugar is stored as fat when there's no space left in your muscles, she explains. People who eat a lot of foods that cause blood sugar spikes, like candy or soda, can have a difficult time responding to insulin.

There's no conclusive stance on whether dairy causes insulin resistance. And whole fruit contains fiber, which slows down sugar absorption, meaning it doesn't have the same effect on your body as cookies.

Still, Boehmer says the limited menu can be helpful for people who like structure. Plus, it emphasizes foods high in fiber and protein, which keeps you fulland ultimately helps with weight loss. People who have a history of disordered eating should not opt for a restrictive plan like this, she says.

"This is obviously a very simple approach to weight loss," she says. "My hope is that people can expand upon that list as they get comfortable"

Trying to lose weight? 6 drinks to help you shed the extra kilos - PINKVILLA

Dear Dr. Roach: My adult son has lost over 100 pounds on an intermittent fasting diet (16 hours fasting per day) and now wants to continue fasting in the morning and just eat a heavier lunch and dinner to maintain his new weight. I am not sure that this kind of long-term fasting is good for his health. For his meals, he eats anything he wants and counts his calories. I have told him that it is better for his health if he eats more of a Mediterranean-style diet, which would include a plate made up of mostly vegetables, a small amount of meat, grains and some good fats. Could you advise us what you think is a good way to maintain weight loss after being on an intermittent fasting diet? G.B.

Answer: Most of the studies on intermittent fasting use an alternate-day approach, where a person takes in very little food (25% of needs) on fast days and more (125%) on the intermittent feast day. The studies show effective weight loss, similar to those put on a calorie-restricted diet. There arent as much data on a 16-hour daily fast.

My experience is that intermittent fasting is an effective strategy for some people in whom other strategies have been unhelpful. One of my colleagues, an expert in weight loss, calls intermittent fasting another tool in her box.

While I agree with you that a Mediterranean-style diet has many health benefits, your son has had success with his fasting strategy. I have seen over and over again people having success with their plan (whatever that plan might be), only to go back to their old dietary habits and have the weight come back on. I would recommend he continue with the intermittent fasting, continuing to count calories, but to try to make sure what he does eat is as healthy as possible.

Dear Dr. Roach: In a recent column, a reader was concerned about his enlarged prostate and possible UTI. You wrote that he may possibly benefit from changing the pH of his urine, but you did not specify which way. It implied that acidic urine could be a problem. However, doesnt the drug Hiprex given for recurring UTIs help prevent infections by making the urine acidic? J.B.

Answer: Methenamine (Hiprex) is converted in an acidic environment (a pH below 5.5) to ammonia and formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is not an antibiotic, but does have general bacteria-killing effects. Hiprex also contains two organic acids, hippuric acid and mandelic acid, which help keep the urine pH low so the drug will work. Other physicians prescribe vitamin C in addition to help ensure an acidic urine.

So, its not the acidic urine that kills the bacteria with methenamine, its that the drug is converted to bacteria-killing formaldehyde in the acidic urine. Most bacteria are relatively resistant to the acidic pH changes that are possible in the urine.

Methenamine is not an oft-used treatment. The antibacterial effect of the formaldehyde is weak compared with antibiotics. You are correct that it is most commonly used to prevent infections rather than to treat them. I have given it in women who have had allergies to multiple antibiotics.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu or send mail to 628 Virginia Dr., Orlando, FL 32803.

To Your Health, Intermittent fasting is one more tool in weight-loss toolbox - Watertown Daily Times

How would you like to lose weight, improve your health and help the planet? And fast?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then my Zombie Apocalypse Diet might be just for you.

In only four weeks on the Zombie Apocalypse Diet, I lost 9.8 kilograms, my blood cholesterol dropped from an unhealthy 6.1 to a respectable 4.4, my waist circumference dropped from 99 to 91 centimetres, my liver function improved and my BMI came back into the healthy range.

Loading...

I'm still working out the sales pitch, but it sounds pretty good right?

It worked for me when for four weeks, I acted as if the zombie apocalypse had struck without warning no food in the shops, nothing in my fridge or cupboards. Everything I ate I had to grow, catch, or forage.

If you want to catch up on the backstory, and the rules of the challenge, the video for episode 1 (below) should answer all your questions.

Loading...

Here's a quick recap of what was on the menu during the four weeks.

There are plenty of people out there with the knowledge and skills to be completely self-sufficient in their sleep. They might even be able to put on weight.

But most people, me included, aren't that person. And that was the point I wanted to see whether a relative novice could make it if the food taps were suddenly turned off.

Loading...

As well as looking at the health impacts of such a diet and lifestyle change, I wanted to compare the environmental pros and cons of this diet with a commercially sourced one, and to see how much money would be saved.

So, here are the results:

The early health indicators of this diet appear to be pretty positive.

Waist circumference is an indicator of cardiovascular risk, and lower cholesterol can reduce the chance of complications like clogged arteries.

There are two main reasons that my weight loss was so rapid on the diet.

Firstly, eating far less food means you go into kilojoule deficit I got less energy from food than I expended, and my body started to convert stored fat to energy.

The second reason is the lack of carbohydrate-heavy foods like potatoes, legumes and even milk. My body entered a state of ketosis where it burns fat to compensate for the lack of carbs.

However, losing weight rapidly increases the risk of rebounding back to your original weight, or even gaining more weight if you take up old habits, according to GP Krystyna de Lange.

"Certainly if we look at your physical parameters and bio-chemical parameters, we have seen some positive changes," Dr de Lange said.

"[But] rapid weight loss, where you're just going into a caloric deficit isn't always the healthiest way to do it, and it is making sure that those changes are then sustainable."

The money was almost a no-brainer.

For four weeks I was paying nothing for food. And if you can keep your foraging and catching local, you'll spend hardly any money on fuel either.

In my case, I estimate I came out about $250 ahead each week on average.

Those savings mostly came down to avoiding the four horsemen of the bank-balance apocalypse takeaway lunches, coffee, booze and fuel.

Grazing cows and sheep are the biggest individual contributors to Australia's food emissions, so taking out all red meat puts you ahead from an emissions perspective.

But what about the roosters I killed and ate?

Loading...

The biggest source of emissions, as well as water use and resource consumption in the commercial farming of chickens in Australia, is the production of feed stock according to a life cycle analysis from 2017.

Typically, meat birds sold at supermarkets are grown extremely fast, and are killed at between six and eight weeks old.

In my case, the roosters, who were hatched from a neighbour's backyard eggs, were several months old and had been fed some grain in their diet.

While it could be argued that they enjoyed a higher standard of living than some of their commercially raised counterparts, it's likely that more resources went into keeping them alive longer.

The biggest environmental considerations for seafood are the sustainability of the species you're eating and how they're caught, according to agronomist Daniel Tan from the University of Sydney.

"We want to eat species that are at the bottom of the food chain, [that] there are lots of, and try to avoid the top-order predators things like sharks and tuna," Associate Professor Tan said.

That's because there are typically fewer top order predators, and they're more susceptible to overfishing.

Apart from a bonito [tuna] and flathead, all the seafood on the menu mullet, pipis, snails, prawns fit into that lower-order category.

And the fishing methods cast-netting and line fishing were pretty low-impact as well, Dr Tan said.

"If you look at a lot of trawlers out there, there is sometimes a lot of bycatch. It could be up to 50 per cent of bycatch is not eaten and is thrown back in the ocean that's a lot of waste there."

There needs to be a big warning here: firstly, some insects and arachnids are poisonous and expert identification is required.

Secondly, even non-poisonous insects in urban areas can contain pesticides and environmental poisons that make them unsafe to eat.

However, from a sustainability perspective, insects, especially when sourced locally, are extremely low impact.

Grasshoppers, termites, scorpions and crickets can all be caught and don't require any inputs like feed.

For this reason and more, insects are going to become a key protein source of the future, according to insect farmer Olympia Yarger.

"In a climate-change world we're going to need resilience in producing food. Animals don't do well when it's 45 degrees [Celsius] outside, but we can create climate-controlled environments in our cities for insects," she said.

""I'm not wanting to do away with cattle farming, that's not where I'm trying to go. But the two things can't be true at the same time: Climate change is real, but we'll be able to farm the same."

If you're anything like I was up until recently, that's not an appetising thought. But here's an inside tip: Deep-fried scorpions are delicious, grasshoppers taste like prawns, and crickets taste like cashew nuts.

Termites on the other hand, taste like...dirt.

The biggest environmental issues with our veggies and salads are land-clearing for cropping, water use, food miles, and fertiliser and pesticide use.

In my case, those factors were negated by growing the veggies in my garden or foraging them nearby, and the water I used came from tanks.

Loading...

The answer to this question is yes, with a few caveats.

I went into this challenge with an advantage. I live on a few acres with room to grow plenty of food, and access to clean water.

And I also wasn't really facing a zombie apocalypse. I had plenty of time to prepare. Which is what most experts say we need to be doing collectively right now.

Whether we'll ever face a real zombie apocalypse is still unwritten, but climate change is making the strongest bid to throw our food systems into disarray.

Forecasts say some crops will no longer be able to be grown in Australia, and longer, harsher droughts and storms will make growing seasons less predictable.

The good news is by making changes to how we produce and consume food, we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create more climate-change resilient food production.

The other good news is we don't have to do anything as drastic as being completely self-sufficient.

Experts say diversifying what we eat, sourcing local and seasonally available foods, and reducing the amount of red meat we consume can all help us avoid having to adopt a real-life zombie apocalypse diet.

Want to lose weight, get healthy and help the planet? The Zombie Apocalypse Diet could be for you - ABC News

When it comes to losing weight, people often want know the best way to shed excess pounds and theres no shortage of fad diets or fitness crazes claiming to have the secret to fat loss. One theory even suggests that exercising at around 60% of your maximum heart rate will bring our bodies into a so-called fat burning zone, optimal for losing weight.

But does this fat burning zone even exist?

First, its important to understand a little about our metabolism. Even if we were to sit at our desk all day, our body still needs fuel to meet energy demands. This energy comes from carbohydrates, proteins, fats and phosphates. However, the rate at which we use them, and how much we have available, varies between people. It depends on a number of factors, such as dietary intake, age, sex and how hard or often we exercise.

Generally, exercising at lower intensities such as sustained walking or light jogging doesnt require as much effort by our muscles as sprinting, for example. This means the amount of energy needed by the body is lower, so energy supply predominantly comes from fats.

But as exercise intensity increases, fat cant be metabolised fast enough to meet increased energy demand. So the body will use carbohydrates, as these can be metabolised more rapidly. This means there is indeed an exercise intensity where fat is the predominant energy source.

At the lower end of this spectrum is our resting state. Here, the number of calories our body needs to function is considerably low, so the body primarily metabolises fat to use for energy. This means the potential zone for metabolising fat is between the rested state and the level of exercise intensity where carbohydrates become the dominant energy source (in terms of percent contribution to energy demand).

But this is a wide range, which lies between a resting heart rate of around 70 beats per minute to around 160 beats per minute during moderate effort exercise (such as cycling at a constant speed where holding a conversation becomes challenging), where the crossover from using fat to carbohydrates for energy occurs.

The issue with such a wide zone is that the person exercising wouldnt necessarily be optimising their ability to metabolise fat, because as the exercise intensity increases theres a gradual change in the balance of fat and carbohydrates your body uses for energy.

So how can we know at which point our body will switch from using fat to other fuels for energy? One approach researchers take is assessing how much fat is being used for energy during different exercise intensities.

By measuring how much air a person expels during an exercise test which gets progressively harder, physiologists have been able to calculate the relative contributions of fat and carbohydrates to meet the exercise demand at different intensities. The highest amount of fat burned is called the maximal fat oxidation rate (or MFO), and the intensity this occurs at is termed FATmax.

Since this method was first used by researchers, studies have shown that as the intensity rises from around 40-70% of a persons VO max which is the maximum amount of oxygen a person can use during exercise theres an increase in the rate of carbohydrates and fats being used. The rate of fat being burned starts to decline at higher intensities as the body requires energy more rapidly.

The so-called fat burning zone has been shown to occur anywhere between about 50-72% of a persons VO max. However, the ability to burn fat is also based on genetics, with studies showing that this fat burning zone is likely to be lower in overweight or obese people around 24-46% of their VO max and higher in endurance athletes.

Another point to consider is how much fat we actually burn during exercise (if we express it in grams per minute). The answer is: surprisingly little. Even in studies with athletes, at FATmax, participants only burned on average a mere 0.5 grams of fat per minute. This would equate to around 30 grams of fat per hour.

In the average person, this appears to be even lower, ranging between 0.1 and 0.4 grams of fat per minute. To put it in perspective, one pound of fat weighs around 454 grams. So, though training in this fat burning zone will help with fat loss, this might also help explain why it takes some people longer to lose fat through exercise.

But there is evidence that following certain diets (such as intermittent fasting or a ketogenic, high fat diet) and longer exercise can increase the actual amount of fat we burn.

Perhaps its time to no longer consider burning fat to have a zone, but rather an individualised sweet spot which can be used to optimise our exercise regimes to lose weight. Regular physical activity around this sweet spot (which typically occurs at a low to moderate feeling of effort, for example 30-60% of your maximal effort, or a perceived exertion level of one to four out of ten) will likely improve our bodys efficiency in using fat for energy and translate to a lower overall body fat percentage.

The popular condiment is made from acetic acid, which provides the body with several health benefits.

A recent trend is to drink it before bed but many are left wondering whether or not this is the best time to consume the drink.

Drinking apple cider vinegar at night may also help lower blood sugar but if weight loss is your aim, experts suggest drinking throughout the day.

Some evidence suggests that drinking small amounts of apple cider vinegar before bed may help lower morning blood sugars but in terms of weight loss Healthline recommends drinking it before meals.

Studies have also shown that consuming apple cider vinegar before meals can help reduce food cravings, meaning you will be less likely to reach for snacks throughout the day.

Consuming a shot of apple cider vinegar mixed in water before a meal may reduce your food intake which will in turn help you lose weight.

You can also incorporate the condiment into your diet by adding it to salads.

For the best results, pair apple cider vinegar with a low-carb diet such as Keto, Dukan or Paleo diet.

This can be incredibly helpful if you wish to target belly fat. Apple cider vinegar can help balance your blood sugars and by keeping your blood sugars low, your belly fat will decrease.

Apple cider vinegar has also been seen to lower insulin levels in the body. People with diabetes should take caution when attempting high vinegar diets and should always consult a doctor before undertaking.

High insulin levels can lead to many health problems. Healthline recommends taking steps to increase your insulin sensitivity and decreasing your insulin levels can help you lose weight.

Weight loss results from this method may take longer to show but some experts suggest that it is a more healthy way of losing weight because you arent putting your body through a vigorous diet plan.

To lose weight from apple cider vinegar will need to be incorporated into a healthy diet plan along with exercise if you wish to see results sooner.

Alternating between light cardio exercise and high-intensity weight lifting exercise can help build muscle and someone following this regime could find themselves losing weight in no time.

While experts suggest that apple cider vinegar appears to be safe, you do not want to consume excessive amounts of it.

Since it is a vinegar and contains high amounts of acid, it can cause erosion and weaken your tooth enamel. This is why diluting it with water is the best option for weight loss.

Some slimmers have found benefits from taking apple cider vinegar in the morning like cutting out on mid-morning snacks and cutting down on their portion sizes so it is recommended to try what works best for you and your body.

Losing weight is easy if you know how. In addition, it does not require a lot of effort if you adopt healthy lifestyle habits. By following these six tips that we are going to reveal below, you can lose around 5 kilos in just one month. Here are the keys:

Do not skip breakfast. Although the need to break the fast to lose weight divides the scientific community, more specialists recommend eating food minutes after waking up. Of course, it does not need to be a copious menu. The ideal is to eat something to activate the body and regain strength to start the day.

Make meals meals every three to four hours. It does not have to be a large intake. Although, it is advisable that they be carried out, since it favors the body to burn calories with digestion. In addition, it will also satiate us and prevent us from bingeing on any of the meals of the day as a result of anxiety. It is also essential not to skip meals.

Following the plate rule is another key. That is, that half of what we are going to eat are vegetables and greens, 25 percent of the dish is protein and the remaining quarter carbohydrates. You have to run away from ultra-processed food. Also from fats. For this, it is very useful to organize a weekly menu before going shopping. Thus we will also avoid the acquisition of products on an impulsive basis. It is advisable to avoid those products that come packaged: on the one hand they are less friendly to the environment and, on the other hand, they are usually more processed because they are manufactured in an industrial way.

Drinking water is another key to losing weight. It is recommended to drink at least a liter and a half a day. The consumption of alcoholic beverages and soft drinks must also be abandoned. Both are harmful to the body.

Rest is another key. Sleeping well, a minimum of seven hours a day helps lose weight.Another fundamental point to lose weight is exercise. You dont have to become an elite athlete. Rather, its about doing minimal activity for at least an hour a day. For example, walking. Acquiring a routine of going for a walk for an hour in the morning or at the end of the day, after work, is very beneficial for the body, not only for losing weight.

According to experts, following these tips you can lose up to 5 kilos of weight in just one month. Although, this figure depends on the metabolism and how precisely each of these tips is followed.

You must have heard that taking the stairs is always better that going up in an elevator. This is true and you gain a lot of health benefits from this. But it can also be the fastest way that you can adopt to lose weight. If you run up and down the stairs for an hour, you will end up burning as much as 946 calories. But dont overdo it. If you feel tired, try doing up fast for 30 seconds and then walk up the stairs for the next 30 seconds. It will be just as effective. If you live in a hilly area, instead of the stairs go for a sprint uphill. You will get the added benefit of being out in nature.

Calories burnt: 864

This is a cardio workout modified from martial arts. It is great for weight loss and you can burn almost 864 calories in an hour if you do this. Other than losing weight, this workout will also build muscles, improve balance and coordination and boost flexibility. But if you have never done this before then you need a good instructor to guide you through the paces. It consists of choreographed movements of punches, kicks and knee strikes.

Calories burnt: 841

This works your leg muscles and builds endurance and strength. For best results, you can go cycling uphill. This will help you burn more calories. But if you live in the plains, then just cycle instead of taking your car. This way, you get to enjoy nature while losing weight. But in crowded cities and towns, you may want to go for stationary cycles. This will also help you lose weight just as effectively. In fact, you will end up burning almost 841 calories in an hour. If you want to continue burning calories for a long time afterwards, do a mix of high and low intensity cycling. This means that you intersperse your workout with sudden bursts of high intensity cycling for a few seconds.
