Sam Gowland has been slammed online for promoting a weight loss aid that has been criticised by some of his fellow reality TV stars.
The 24 year old took to Instagram on Sunday to encourage his fans to buy shot drink BoomBod which has previously been promoted by the likes of Katie Price.
But fans weren't impressed with Sam's recent upload, with some of his 1.3million followers even claiming they have unfollowed him after the post was uploaded.
Chloe Ferry's ex-boyfriend post topless as he beamed whilst holding up a box of the product, with a bottle full of the drink in the other hand.
He wrote to fans: "#ad I needed another 7 days with @boombod These shots always do the trick to help me look and feel my best.
"Theyve got 60% off their Black Friday bundle. It doesnt get better than this Grab em before theyre gone!"
One fan took to the comments section of the post to write: "Promoting s**t again.
"Like u Sam and your clearly working hard for your fight so why do this. Unfollowed [sic] "
A second added: "This product needs banning!!!" as a third wrote: "You promote some s***e you lad."
Another of the former Love Island stars fans wrote: "Weight loss shot? Is there anything you wont promote?"
With a fifth critic chiming: "You do know these ads are now banned on here!!"
Frankie Foster who starred on the 2018 series of Love Island previously slammed celebrities including Sam's ex-girlfriend Chloe for promoting the "unhealthy" product.
Ibiza Weekender and Celebs Go Dating star David Potts share a before and after shot from his time using the product on Instagram in June, captioning it: "YASSS ! Got me looking DAMN FINE These shots helped my cravings all week and my waistline is looking SO GOOD DEF grabbing a bundle next so I can try the other flavours If you huns are looking for results quick you HAVE to try this - they have buy one get one free online RN so grab a box!! [sic] "
Personal trainer Frankie quickly hit out: "@DavidWeekender stop conning your followers into spending money on unhealthy & useless products for your own gain."
Not taking the criticism well, David direct messaged Frankie to say: "Honestly hun why are you so bothered about what Im doing. Dont dedicate all your evening to talk about me your stories. Grow up. [sic] "
Frankie replied: "Because you have a s**t load of followers some of who might now waste their money on a useless product thinking its the answer to their weight loss goals. [sic]
"Nice 5 second transformation too btw, I like how you pulled the t shirt down a touch. [sic] "

One year ago, Mike Houston inked a five-year contract to become the 22nd head coach of East Carolina Universitys (4-8, 1-7 AAC) football team. Nearly a year later, Houston stood at the podium inside the Ward Sports Medicine Building with a disappointed look on his face.
His team had just lost to the University of Tulsa (4-8, 2-6 AAC) by a score of 49-24, capping off a 4-8 season on an extremely sour note.
We expect to be competitive with any team in this league, Houston said on Saturday. We expect to be able to go out and play games at a very, very high level and be able to win any given Saturday. Because of those expectations that we have created within the program, days like today are very disappointing.
Despite a lackluster 1-7 conference record that mirrored last seasons 3-9 Pirate team, a pair of losses late in the year inspired a new sense of confidence rarely found around ECUs program over the last three campaigns.
At their peak, the Pirates were 2-1 on the season following a rare road win, one of two such victories gathered in 2019. The valley, however, came quickly after in the form of back-to-back losses, the latter of which was a 45-20 loss to the University of South Florida (4-8, 2-6 AAC) on homecoming in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
For most programs, a blowout defeat to a team that just recently fired its head coach would have wrecked their morale and cast a negative attitude over the remainder of the season. For the Pirates, the opposite was true as the next two games against nationally ranked opponents showcased a rebuilding team not far away from success.
Losing by a combined 11 points to the University of Cincinnati (10-2, 7-1 AAC) and Southern Methodist University (10-2, 6-2 AAC) instilled what Houston talked about, the sense of being able to play with anyone in the conference at a competitive level.
Is it (the program) in better shape than it was a year ago? Yes. Anybody that doesnt see that or doesnt say that, obviously is not paying a whole lot of attention, Houston said. At the same time, are we where we want to be? Not even close. We have very high expectations for East Carolina football. This is a great place, I think that we can get there, theres no doubt and we will get there.
Obviously, that doesnt start with a 25 point loss to a team that ultimately won four games. Where that does start, however, is behind the scenes. In the weight room, film room and practice facilities is where the Pirates, under Houstons guidance, will make their greatest jump, because that is where this most recent jump originated from.
Development, on both sides of the football, has been a staple of Houstons first season at the helm of ECUs football program. Sophomore quarterback Holton Ahlers finished the year 11th in the nation with 3,387 passing yards and tied for 34th with 21 passing touchdowns.
Freshman wide receiver C.J. Johnson cracked the top-40 in the FBS with 908 yards, and while the Pirates failed to record a 1,000-yard receiver, they racked up three wide-outs with at least at least 500 receiving yards.
When we eat pregame meal, it blows you away, because we eat by class, Houston said. When I tell the freshmen to go get something to eat, half the room stands up. Weve got to continue to grow them up, teach them how to fight and overcome adversity. Teach them how to play this game the right way.
While the offense is chocked full of budding standout players, the defensive side of the football has been a sticking point. A season-high 669 yards and 49 points allowed to the Golden Hurricane ensured the Pirates would finish 119th out of 130 FBS teams in total defense (469.3 yards allowed per game) and 110th in points allowed per game (33.7).
Despite inheriting three seniors on the defensive line, ECU was gashed for an average of 6.52 yards per play, effectively mitigating any positive performance on offense.
We got to get bigger, faster and stronger is the biggest thing, Houston said. Certainly, philosophy-wise, myself and my predecessor are drastically different on what we envision we want on that side of the football. You look at our size versus the size of some of the teams in this league, and weve got to continue to develop our guys.
Develop. That word showed up a lot in Houstons final postgame press conference of the season. With such a young roster and a solid recruiting class set to sign on Dec. 18, a lot of development is needed to return this program back to its former glory.
Nevertheless, so much progress has already been made, mostly in the way players are developed and how they go about honing their craft when the lights are not shining on them.
I think coach Houston has done a great job coming in and just making this place look like a championship culture, senior defensive lineman Alex Turner said. Hes done just a great job changing the habits of players, changing their attitude, making us work differently than we ever have.
That culture shift, something Houston has talked about as being the most important first step in turning a program around, works hand-in-hand with off field preparation. Rediscovering that love for the game that most players possess is a driving force in pulling a team out of a spiral like the Pirates were in prior to Houstons hiring.
On game day, that shows up in the play of the men on the field and ultimately in the final result. Despite ending the season losing six of their final seven games, Ahlers racked up four straight games with at least 300 passing yards while senior defensive end Kendall Futrell finished the campaign ranked 12th in the nation with 11 sacks.
Nevertheless, the offseason is about adjustments and evaluating things that worked and things that did not, for players and coaches alike.
Obviously weve got to take a look, Ive got to take a look at everything weve done, Houston said. Just because it worked for us some other place, doesnt mean its what we need to do here. I do think we accomplished a lot, I think we grew so much. Its obvious that we got to continue to still develop.
Mistakes often signal to a coaching staff that development is still needed to be successful. In the Pirates two tight losses to nationally ranked teams, late-game miscues hampered their efforts while a slew of defensive mistakes allowed Tulsa to play pitch-and-catch with its receivers for much of the second half.
With experience those mistakes will dry up, but dont discount the progress that has already been made by this coaching staff in year one.
The culture in our locker room, the work ethic, the commitment to each other, the unity, just so many positives off the field, Houston said. Theres so much positive about the group that we have right now. We just got to continue to push forward and we got to continue to develop and we got to continue to fight to get our program to where we want it to be.
In the win column, Pirate Nation can cling to tangible improvement as the program received its fourth win in a season for the first time since 2015 two weeks ago with a win over the University of Connecticut (2-10, 0-8 AAC). Nevertheless, behind the scenes, so many more strides have been taken, ones that should begin to pay-off in 2020.

Its easy to skip out on the gym when youd only have 15 minutes to sweat before running out the door. But that's the beauty of circuit training: You can get through a total-body, calorie-burning workout at turbo speed in your own living room and still make it to work on time.
You can use this intel to help you create an at-home circuit-training workout customized to your go-to moves and how much time you have. Or, try one of the pre-programmed at-home circuit training workouts designed by a certified training below. (There are 15-, 25-, and 45-minute options.)
Either way, if done consistently, circuit training can help you burn fat, build muscle and beat the boredom of redundant fitness routines. Those are just a few reasons to give it a try. Keep reading for everything you need to know to create an at-home circuit training workout.
Sometimes, it can feel like circuit training and interval training are synonyms because people interchange them frequently. On the contrary, circuit training is a workout based around stations that you complete continuously, with little or no rest between sets, explains Ash Wilking, Nike trainer and Rumble instructor.
Here are the major circuits you should cycle through in order:
According to Wilking, you dont need that break in between stations in most cases because each exercise within the circuit targets a different muscle group or purpose, whether its strength training, muscle endurance, or cardio. Thats different from interval training, where youre pushing through high-intensity moves and alternating it with low-intensity exercises and rest periods.
The first benefit of circuit training is what Wilking calls the anti-scrolling effect it has on peopleyou wont have a moment to get bored and hop on your phone except to hit the start and stop timer, so youre getting a complete workout.
Another perk is that you can do circuit training anywhere: in a gym or at home, and it can be done with dumbbells or simply with bodyweight. Because there are countless ways to create a circuit training workout, it's ideal for all fitness levels too.
Oh, and did I mention it's efficient? Circuit training allows you to work on both cardio and strength training simultaneously, which is the perfect combo to torch body fat and build muscle at the same freaking time.
In other words, circuit training burns calories quickly (around 200300 in every 30 minute workout for the person of average weight, according to Harvard Medical School) which can lead to weight loss.
Finally, if you're focused on improving your athletic performance and speed, circuit training may help increase your VO2 max, or the amount of oxygen your body can consume at a given time, according to research published in ACSMs Health and Fitness Journal.
Circuits typically have 510 stations corresponding to each muscle group, but you can structure your circuits based on timed stations, specific rep counts of those stations, or a mixture of both, Wilking says. Of course the more time you have, the more circuits you can move through, but even if you only have 15 minutes, its still a solid training session.
Keep in mind that its the quick alternating between muscle-specific movements, for example those that target the upper body, or the legs, that allow you to move swiftly between stations without taking a rest in the middle, Wilking says. Each muscle group has time to recover while another one is working. Also, youre likely timing the circuits, so there will be a specific stopping point for each station and therefore for each muscle group.
If youre adding a set of weights, you probably wont get as many reps in, and thats fine. You can likely do 25 body weight squats, but maybe only 10 or 15 weighted squats, Wilking says. Weights will add an extra challenge when it comes to sculpting, but running through the exercises with light weights or bodyweight only will help you build muscle endurance and turn it into even more of cardio workout.
Start circuit training at home using one of these workouts created by Wilking below.
Instructions: Complete each move for 1 minute each three times through with no rest.
Lower Body: Body weight squat or weighted squat
Upper Body: Triceps dips
Single Leg: Reverse lunge
Core: Sit ups to single leg toe touch
Cardio: 10 high knees and 3 burpees
Instructions: Complete each move from Set A for 1 minute each, then rest for 1 minute and do the same with Set B. Repeat the two circuits once more through from the top, resting for 1 minute between sets.
Set A (5 minutes)
Lower Body: Sumo squat
Upper Body: Plank walks or slow pushups
Single Leg: Alternating lateral lunges
Abs: Scissor kicks
Cardio: Jump rope or bench hops
Set B (5 minutes)
Lower Body: Glute bridges
Upper Body: Bicep curl to overhead press
Single Leg: Alternating curtsy lunge
Abs: Deadbug
Cardio: Side shuffles or Suicide sprints
Instructions: Complete each move in order for 1 minute each four times through, resting for a minute before starting each circuit over from the top.
Lower Body: Sumo squat
Upper Body: Plank walks or push ups
Single Leg: Alternating lateral lunges
Abs: Scissor kicks

Doc, Ive started on this new diet and I wonder what you think, said my patient. Then I hear about the patients latest weight loss plan. There are so many plans out there...the Noom plan, the Shark Tank diet, the keto diet, the Mediterranean diet, the paleo diet, the sugar-free diet, the low-carbohydrate diet, the one day a week fast. Some diets increase the intake of water, of fiber, of antioxidants and the list goes on. Many of these new plans are variations of a low-carb plan, which I like. I also have found that a weekly fast seems to work for some people.
About 20 years ago, two huge studies compared the low-carbohydrate diet with the low-fat diet. Both studies showed the same thing. People liked the low-carb diet better and with it, they lost more weight easily and initially. After one year, however, most people from both groups regained the weight they had lost. Similar studies through many years showed the same thing, no plan seems to keep the weight off long term. The two questions commonly left unanswered are, is it good to eat less, even without weight loss; and how important is exercise in all this?
The most powerful studies have shown that when people eat 40 percent less than what they would eat if they had no limit, they live about 40 percent longer. It is the calorie count that matters, not weight loss. Add to this the multiple scientific studies that show if an overweight person is fit and in good condition then their risks of death are no greater than for a thin person who is in good condition.
When people ask me, I recommend starting with three to seven days of calorie counting and exercise measurement before any changes are made. The calorie goal depends on ones height and age, but an average sized middle-aged woman or man needs fewer than 1800-2000 calories per day for maintenance and at least one mile of walking per day. By the way, I think a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables and fewer carbohydrates makes the transition easier to tolerate and is especially good if one is diabetic or pre-diabetic. The most important point remainsfewer calories.

Bottom line: Setting a goal to lose weight puts you at risk for disappointment. For heavy and thin people alike, your best chance for success is to be mindful of your calorie intake and exercise regularly. Then, love yourself as you are.

Jason has spoken about Kevins health scare (Picture: Universal, Wenn)
As you soak up the brilliance that is the Jay And Silent Bob Reboot, you may notice Kevin Smith is looking rather trim as the titular mute.
After suffering a heart attack last year, the director was forced to look at his life choices and mainly that came down to the need to shed a large amount of weight and fast.
After losing 17lb in nine days, and then some more, the star was seen looking much smaller alongside his longtime collaborator Jason Mewes, who plays Jay. But in true Jay And Silent Bob fashion, there was no way a slight ribbing at the expense of Bobs new size was going to be ignored just because hes the boss.
Even though all the fat jokes now had to be replaced.
Insisting there were no holds barred just because it was Kevin as the punchline, Jason tells Metro.co.uk: Its been a long time relationship so its all part of the fun and part of the movie and the characters. Its a combination.
Adding of his initial reaction to his mate suffering a life-threatening health scare, Jason says it wasnt until Kevin got the all clear that he felt he could mention picking up the conversation about another Jay and Silent Bob film, knowing their characters still had stories to tell.
I wasnt even thinking about [wanting to do a sequel at the time], Jason says, as the film hits cinemas. It was something that wasId been asking for a while and he had been doing other movieswhen all that happened I wasnt thinking of Jay And Silent Bob, but when we knew everything was good I was excited when he mentioned he was going to do a new one.
Kevin was forced to overhaul his life after a massive heart attack at the end of February 2018 but hasnt missed a beat with the latest directorial and acting effort.
The jokes continue to pack a punch, without giving away any spoilers here, but looking back at the expletive-ridden, X-rated, pearl-clutching gags of past films, Jason insists Kevins writing is perfect for its audience.
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a webbrowser thatsupports HTML5video
I think there are jokes that might not work as well today and dont hold up with the climate, but I think thats the great thing about Kevins writing, he sticks to times and knows whats good and whats not we dont have to worry about that, Jason says.
The Reboot marks the first time weve seen the duo since 2006s Clerks II and while weve been champing at the bit for another injection from these two, theyve brought along all their mates and some newcomers too. The likes of Chris Hemsworth, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Craig Robinson and Jason Lee all make appearances. Oh, also Joe Manganiello, Jason Biggs, James Van Der Beek, Fred Armisen and Justin Long. And one very special appearance by Stan Lee.
In the flick the cast not only laugh at themselves, but at Hollywood with a rather timely mention of Marvel films being a triumph of cinema right around the time of Martin Scorseses comments to the contrary.
For sure, thats how I feel about everything, Jason says when asked whether Hollywood needs to laugh at itself more.
People take things way too seriously, its entertainment!
Jay And Silent Bob Reboot is in cinemas now.

MANY people dread the winter months - when the days are shorter, the air is colder and somehow your jeans become that little bit more snug.
However, the festive season doesn't need to be synonymous with weight gain.
5
Clinical dietitian Leanne Ward has shared six simple tricks to speed up weight loss before Christmas to make sure you still fit into your winter glad rags.
Leanne, from Queensland, Australia, emphasises that it's all about getting your portion sizes right and not fearing carbs.
She says: "The first thing that's important to remember is that fat loss andweight loss are really different.
"Many people lose a large amount of weight, say three to five kilos, in the first week and think that's really good - but this is often water or muscle weight and not true fat loss."
5
Instead, Leanne urges slimmers to make it their goal to maintain muscle mass while only losing weight from your fat stores.
Speaking on her podcast, Leanne Ward Nutrition, she added: "Healthy eating is a long-term gain, and the slower you lose fat stores, the more likely they are to stay lost."
With this in mind, here, she takes us through her top tips to maximise weight loss this winter...
Leanne emphasises the importance of incorporating healthy unsaturated fats like nuts, avocado and salmon into your daily diet.
These fats are an important part of a healthy diet, and help reduce the risk of heart disease and lower cholesterol levels.
She says:"Unsaturated fats have been proven to decrease inflammation and are important for active individuals because exercise can be a stress on the body."
Unsaturated fats have been proven to decrease inflammation and are important for active individuals because exercise can be a stress on the body
Despite this, Leanne saysit's worth being mindful of just how much fat you add to your plate and snacks, as it's a very energy-dense food source.
She adds: "I like to add a thumb-sized portion of unsaturated fat to my meals and snacks throughout the day.
"If you're going to eat a whole avocado along with feta and eggs at breakfast, you can easily gain weight despite it being through healthy foods."
They're often deemed the enemy when it comes to weight loss but it seems as though carbs actually have an unnecessary rep.
Our bodies need carbs to function, in fact when it comes to long-term sustainable weight loss, evidence suggests carbs may indeed be your friend.
Leanne says: "Schedule your carbs to around your workout and use them to fuel your training.
BEST PORTION SIZES
PROTEIN - try to aim for proteins to cover around a quarter of your plate at every meal - and the same goes for snacks
CARBS - aim for another quarter of your plate, and opt for carby snacks before exercise
VEGGIES - half your plate needs to be covered in different veg, or salad
UNSATURATED FAT - try to include a thumb-size amount in every meal
5
"The body uses carbohydrates as the easiest fuel source, so why would you eat fat or protein before a workout and make your body have to work harder?"
It comes following new research from Slimming World has found that low-carb diets are "damaging the nations health" by confusing dieters about the important role carbs play in nutrition.
It may seem a bit contradictory, but one of thebest ways to lose water weight is to actually drink more water.
That's because if you're constantly dehydrated, your body tends to retain more water in an attempt to prevent its water levels getting too low.
Water also boosts your metabolism, cleanses your body of waste and acts as an appetite suppressant, experts say.
5
When it comes to the amount of water you should be drinking, Leanne says: "Drink one to two glasses with every meal and snack for optimum hydration."
You can usually use your urine colour as an indicator of hydration - if it's light yellow or fairly clear then you're well hydrated.
When it's dark yellow or amber then you need to be drinking more water.
How often do you spend quite a bit of time making your dinner, only to wolf it down in five minutes?
When you eat fast, your belly can't register how full it is - so you go back for second helpings or puddings when actually, you've eaten enough already.
Leanne recommends slowing down and really taking the time to chew every mouthful, so you'll give your body a chance to register how much it's taken on.
Leanne says: "Try chewing slowly and finish every mouthful before taking the next. Don't just shovel food in."
Cravings are not true hunger, so learn to differentiate between the two
She also said it's sometimes worth waiting until you're hungry to eat, as you don't have to avoid hunger entirely.
She adds: "Cravings are not true hunger, so learn to differentiate between the two."
If you think you're full, you don't have to finish everything on your plate. Instead, wait for 10-20 minutes, have a glass of water and go back only if you certainly are.
"Try going back for veggies," Leanne said.
"If you're going back for garlic bread, the chances are you don't actually need it."
Body-builders and gym fanatics yap on about protein all the time, but what you might not know is how vital it is to split your intake throughout the day.
"Many of us tend to get enough protein at lunch and dinner, but we fail to get enough of it at breakfast and in our snacks," Leanne said.
"Protein is especially important at breakfast, as if you don't get enough, you're likely to overeat carbs and cr**py foods later on because you won't feel satisfied."
5
Leanne pointed out that research has shown that an "even spread" of protein throughout the day is best for fat loss, while eating too much at one meal isn't actually helpful.
"Aim for 25-30 grams of protein at every meal and snack," she said.
This equates to about a quarter of a plate of protein, which should never be "back-ended" at the end of a day.
It sounds simple but Leanne has emphasised just how important it is to get enough fruit and veg in your daily diet.
"A serve of vegetables is 75 grams, which is about a cup of salad leaves or half a cup of cooked, non-starchy vegetables," she said.

Starchy vegetables such as corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes do not count here, because they are carbohydrates.
Leanne urges slimmers to have at least half a plate of veg at meal-times with foods such as broccoli, spinach, cabbage and zucchini.
And you should also not fear the sugar or fructose in fruit - as Leanne said "you are never going to get fat from eating fruit".

Weight loss: Six ways to speed up fat loss & the best portion sizes to shed pounds - The Sun

Karen Inge shared her opinion on some of the most popular diets of 2019.
Here they are, ranked from worst to best, according to the ranking assigned to them by the Healthy Food Guide.
Its just eating one particular food, like one fruit or vegetable, Karen said
Karen says this one is popular with celebrities, but gets the lowest rating of all!
This is an ultra low carbohydrate diet that promises rapid weight loss. Its really taking out all the breads, fruits, starchy vegetables, other grain foods, legumes out of the diet. Its been shown scientifically to help children with epilepsy, but for the general population cutting all of those carbohydrate rich foods that are high in fibre is not good for the microbiome and not good for digestive health, Karen said.
The CICO diet is a new name for an old diet.
Its the calorie controlled diet that weve used for years and years, Karen said.
Its calories in versus calories out. Its not a new thing.
This diet gets a poor rating because those following the diet can essentially eat whatever they like.
You could eat all your calories on chocolate if you wanted to, Karen said.
Michael Mosely came up with this more extreme fasting diet.
Its an intensive 12 week diet which combines the Mediterranean style of eating but with just 800 calories a day. That has been shown to help you lose weight but it is very restrictive, Karen said.
The Fast 800 diets Healthy Food Guide rating was brought down because its so difficult to follow.
People really cant seem to follow it for the long term, Karen said.
This is a less extreme fasting diet.
Its the one where you control how much you eat by the hours, so you restrict your eating to eight hours a day and fast for 16, Karen said.
Theres a whole body of evidence showing intermittent fasting can be beneficial for people with diabetes and also can help with neuro-degenerative diseases, so particularly for the brain.
Its got a ranking of 7 out of 10 because, for a lot of people, they just cant function when theyre fasting for that length of time.
If you cant handle fasting for 16 hours Karen recommends trying the 5/2 diet instead.
Veganism can be a very healthy way of eating, but it isnt really a diet.
Its really a way of life, Karen said.
It gets a big A+ as long as youre a well-balanced vegan!
The Nordic diet is similar to the Mediterranean diet, so is a great option for those who prefer Nordic dishes to Mediterranean ones!
Thats really beautiful plant foods, wholegrains, legumes and seafood, Karen said.
Its mostly plant based eating but you include meat and fish every now and then. Its really known as flexible vegetarianism in a way, its sort of moving more towards plant eating. This really has benefits for every aspect of health, Karen Inge said.
Studies looking at this style of eating have found it has a positive effect on metabolic health, reduced risk of type two diabetes, and on body weight, but its also delicious!
Karen follows this style of eating herself!

Weight management tips: If you want to maintain a healthy weight you need to take care of the timing of the meal as well. It is extremely important to choose the right time to eat dinner. You must also consume a light dinner. Here's the best time to eat dinner explained by experts.
Weight management: You should eat dinner few hours before sleeping
Just like breakfast lunch and dinner are equally important. Timings of the meal play an important role. Most people are confused about the best time to eat dinner. It is always advised to eat dinner a few hours before you sleep. When you sleep you require less energy therefore you need less calories. Eating late-night dinner is associated with many issues like weight gain, digestive issues, discomfort in sleeping and many more. One should also choose fewer calories for dinner. Light dinners are the healthiest choice which can help in weight management. If you want to maintain a healthy weight you must pay attention towards the timings of your meal, especially for dinner. Here's the answer to all your questions; know expert advice about the best time to eat dinner.
Senior Dietitian, Neha Pathania explains, "Ideally, dinner should be eaten at least three hours before going to sleep. Unlike breakfast and lunch, it should be the lightest meal of the day as one doesn't need too much energy at night. It's important to give oneself time to digest before going to bed. Regular dinner times contribute to healthy digestion and elimination. People, who suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease, should not eat for at least three hours before going to bed. Late dinners can adversely affect health. Also, eating dinner earlier reduces your family's risk for Type 2 diabetes by eliminating the imbalance between blood sugar levels and insulin."

It is also necessary to eat dinner at the same time each day as it ensures better sleeping pattern. Shalini Bliss Garwin who is a senior dietitian also explains, "In every household, dinner schedule is dependent on family members' work, after-school activities and individual ages. Sometimes, dinner time gets delayed as we grab some fast food. But there are many reasons one should dine every day at the same time because your dinner makes an impact on bedtimes and health needs. If each night we have dinner at the same time we will sleep much better as regular timetables create stability and mental order.

The best time to eat dinner is at least three hours prior to bedtime so that so your digestive system isn't busy working on dinner when it is time to relax and fall asleep. Avoid carbohydrates and heavy food in general for dinner."

What Is The Best Time To Eat Dinner To Avoid Weight Gain? Here's The Answer Revealed - Doctor NDTV
Posted: December 3, 2019 at 6:42 am
President Museveni says he is not frail but has reduced his weight from 106kgs to 76kgs to match his body weight index (PHOTO/PPU).
KAMPALA President Museveni has revealed that his sudden loss of weight was a deliberate move to shed off the excess weight.
Responding to his social media followers on Monday, December 02, 2019, the President revealed that whereas many think that he looks frail, this is not the case.
One of the contributors thought that I looked tired. I am not tired at all. I have, however, deliberately lost weight by shedding off that fat that I had allowed to accumulate on my body frame because the doctors had not explained to us clearly the mistake of not fighting fat, Mr Museveni said, adding that he has lost about 30kgs.
In future, I will explain to you this awareness. I have moved from 106kgs to now 76kgs. I will stabilize my weight at 76kgs because that is the one that matches with my height of 5.7 feet, he said.
Before I talk about the anti-obesity campaign, however, in my next message I will talk about education in order to put in focus the recent strike at Makerere, he added.
The President also lashed at those who asked him to retire.
Some of the responders were negative. Retire, they shouted at me. That will be decided by our Party, the NRM and the People of Uganda, he said.
==================================================
Below is Musevenis letter in full;
Dear Ugandans and, especially, the Bazzukulu.
Greetings. Crime seems to be going down on account of the as yet limited efforts we have deployed. The Police, at the Police Post or station, are supposed to have a standby force twenty four hours a day and seven days a week to react to any call of distress in their area of responsibility.
Secondly, the Police counter (desk) at every Police Station/ Post, must be manned by a Police officer twenty four hours a day and seven days a week so that when a member of Public, under attack by Criminals, rings, there is somebody to receive the call without any delay and, then, promptly inform either the OC station or even the in- charge of the reaction force to re-act immediately.
Thirdly, through the Local radios, all members of the Public in the locality should be informed about the telephone numbers of the nearby Police Post/ Station that they should ring in case of need.
All these steps are easy to audit because of the modern technology. All this is possible and easy to implement even with the old Police methods.
We have now added cameras. Kampala- Wakiso and Mukono are now covered- within eight months, the whole Country will be covered. The Police will be able to watch the activities peaceful and unpeaceful- in the whole Country as far as the highways (major roads) and towns are concerned. Off the major roads, we shall use other methods.
We are, however, going to add other methods soon. Take, for example, the technology of the digital beacons in every vehicle and every piki piki. It will soon be rolled out. The criminals are an endangered species, I can assure you. Also endangered are the Police personnel or members of other security agencies who try to cover up these Criminals. It will be easy to audit and expose them. They will be arrested, charged, sentenced and dismissed from the security services and never to work for any Government department or Local Government forever. They are traitors. If you harm or fail to protectUgandans, starting with the Bazzukulu, you disqualify yourself from Public trust.
I sent out a message in my enshugyi (ancestral cattle- not gift from friends- empaano- not those you bought engabirano). I sent it to the general channels that you call platforms. There is no harm in that because I saw the interesting comments from the Bazzukulu and other social-media users. I thank those who appreciated. I may not list their names here but I thank them. I am always in the Resistance Movement against everything that is anti- African.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the uninformed and shallow Colonial Veterinary staff and even other elements of the Colonial elite, started saying that the Indegenous cattle of Uganda (Sanga and zebu- enkoromoijo) were neither good for milk nor for beef. They were giving little milk and had poor beef. As a cattle owner, I knew that that was alot of nonsense. Yes, some of the Ankole cattle are low milk-yielders. They are called ebipampara. Hence, cattle names like Kapampara, kipampara.
However, others were high milkers. Understandably, the traditional cattle owners, sometimes, preferred ebipampara to the high milkers. Why? On account of the shortage of water and the need for the cattle to walk fast and go far- big distances daily to look for water.
High milkers, with a big udder, cannot easily walk fast or go far. That might have been the dilemma for the traditional farmers. Fortunately, in some of the areas of the cattle corridor, there is a lot of water. These are areas like Ntungamo, Igara, Sheema, Rukungiri, parts of Ibanda etc. Anyway, since I originate from Ntungamo, I was aware of the two lines within the Sanga breed: the high milkers and low milkers (ebimpampara). I could, therefore, not accept the colonial nonsense.
Along the way, scientific proof came in that the Sanga cattle meat is the best in the world because it had yellow fat as opposed to the white fat of most cattle in the World that has got cholesterol. The milk is also better than that of the exotic breeds because it has a higher butter content of 5.25% to 10% compared to that one of the exotics of 3.7% to 4.5%. It is, therefore, good for the Ugandans generally and the Bazzukulu, in particular, to know these facts of our heritage.
Otherwise, the message of the cattle was directed at the cattle- breeders so as to discuss how to enhance the efforts.
The responders had requests of cattle to be given to them and others wanted to pay a visit to the farm etc. Organizationally, it is not wise to arrange cattle gifts or visits to the farm through social media. It will distort the use of social- media. The social- media should, in my opinion, remain a forum for the exchange of ideas.
Organizational matters should be handled in the normal way. There is, for instance, the myooga Sacco, saccos based on the respective specialized activities (obuheesi, okubaija, okunogoora, ICT such as BPOs, boda bodas, hair- salons, garments, food- processing etc etc).
Minister Kasolo can give more information on these. Through those, if you the members make them work well, we can implement the good ideas we shall have distilled through social- media interactions.
Some of the responders were negative. Retire, they shouted at me. That will be decided by our Party, the NRM and the People of Uganda.
Others wondered how me posing with my cattle helps the unemployed Bazzukulu. It surely, helps those who want to learn by example. I started looking after those cattle when I was 9 in 1954. When I accessed modern education, I did not use it to go to night clubs in Europe, I used to semi- modernize the animal husbandry of those cattle among several engagements.
All my children, except Muhoozi, after their education, did not go into Public Service jobs. They are in the Private Sector, starting with the cattle industry. In the last 120 years of Colonialism and thereafter, none of my parents- uncles etc were in the Public Service.
There is life without working for the Public Service. My involvement with the political struggles is for historical missions of patriotism (loving Uganda), Pan- Africanism (loving Africa), social-economic transformation and democracy. Why? It is for prosperity through the integration of the markets, for strategic security and fraternity in Africa. How many of you on the Social- media are contributing to that direction of thinking?
It is those concepts that will help us to solve the issue of jobs. Do you see how many Bazzukulu are in the factories, for example, the ones I recently commissioned (Balaji Group, Premier Distillers, Simi Mobile and Computer manufacturing plant, among others?
These Bazzukulu are working in these factories that are using the raw- materials of Uganda and that are benefitting from the market of Uganda, EAC and COMESA.
One of the contributors thought that I looked tired. I am not tired at all. I have, however, deliberately lost weight by shedding off that fat that I had allowed to accumulate on my body frame because the doctors had not explained to us clearly the mistake of not fighting fat.
In future, I will explain to you this awareness. I have moved from 106 kgs to now 76kgs. I will stabilize my weight at 76kgs because that is the one that matches with my height of 5.7 feet.
Before I talk about the anti-obesity campaign, however, in my next message I will talk about education in order to put in focus the recent strike at Makerere.
One of the negative contributors said I had made a tarmac road for my cattle while other Ugandans have no accessible roads. Wrong. One reason I bought land in the Kisozi area in 1990 was because it was far away from tarmac roads. One reason I bought land in Rwakitura in 1967 was because it was very far away from the tarmac roads.
In fact, there was no road of any description in that area except the nearly impassable Kazo-Lyantonde and Rushere-Kinoni. Cattle do not need nor do they eat tarmac. They eat grass and drink water. The tarmac road you saw in the picture is not for the cattle but for the People of Butambala, Gomba, Ssembabule , Masaka etc.
Soon somebody will be able to come from Kabale and go to South Sudan without going through Masaka or Kampala. It is for the connectivity of your Country.
I, again, thank the huge number of the responders that appreciated the cattle of the heritage of Africa and my humble and modest contribution in breeding them.
