YMCAs Weight Loss Program: Diet and nutrition, sticking to healthy eating - FOX 6 Milwaukee

Joe Rogan is starting his year with steak. Lots and lots of steak. The podcaster and MMA commentator announced on Instagram that he will be adhering to the carnivore diet for the entire month of January, a challenge that he has previously participated in which involves eating nothing but meat. This time, however, he is making one minor adjustment.

"January is world carnivore month," he wrote in the caption. "This time Im adding fruit to this diet. Just meat and fruit for the whole month."

The meat-only meal plan generated a lot of buzz in 2018, when Jordan Peterson revealed that he and his daughter Mikhaila live on only steak, water, and the occasional glass of bourbon, and that they have both seen positive health results as an outcome.

Writer Jack Crosbie tried the carnivore diet back in 2018 when it was blowing up as a phenomenon, and documented his experiences. He lost 10 pounds, but also felt so weak and nauseated during a boxing workout that he nearly threw up. "I have zero energy and it feels, literally, like Im punching under water," he said. "Every time I get hit with a body shot, it feels like Im going to vomit out the entire bag of cement (three days of steak) in my stomach."

While nobody is arguing that protein isn't important when it comes to building strength and muscle, eliminating vegetables from your diet as a source of nutrition is a lot harder to justify. "The removal of all vegetables is not something I would personally recommend, said clinical dietitian Scott Hemingway. "Theres very little science if any science to support any negative effects of consuming vegetables on our overall diet... If people find things that make them feel better or that works for them, Im all for supporting that. However, there really is no science to back these claims currently, and theres definitely no research to determine the potential long-term effects, whether beneficial or harmful, on a fad diet like this."

Dietitian Abby Langer, R.D. agreed, telling Men's Health: "Even keto or Atkinsas limited as they arestill include vegetables, and you can still have some low-sugar fruits. But the philosophy of carnivore is that carbs, fruits, and vegetables arent healthy. Yes, youll lose a lot of weight... But thats because youre cutting out every other food except for protein."

Joe Rogan Says He's Back on the Carnivore Diet - menshealth.com

ITS THAT time of the year when everyone you know and their nan vow to go on a diet.

From slimming clubs to keto, cutting out anything worth actually eating to wishing on a "magic pill" that might see you shed the pounds once and for all, there are so many options out there.

14

So if youre one of the estimated 26million Brits that jumped on the dieting bandwagon last week, you can be forgiven for feeling confused.

With so many methods claiming to be the "best", diet culture has muddled the simple foundations of fat loss, leaving many of us with larger waistlines than before.

Graeme Tomlinson, known as The Fitness Chef to his one million Instagram followers, rose to popularity for cutting through the nonsense and giving people the tools they need to lose weight without becoming miserable.

Previously a personal trainer but now a best-selling author, Graeme is against any strict rules with weak scientific evidence that tell people to cut out food groups or offer a quick fix.

Here, he outlines the key fads to steer clear of in his new book, Lose Weight Without Losing Your Mind...

Fasting diets have become increasingly popular, for telling people to only eat on certain days of the week, or between certain hours of the day, to cut back on food intake.

Grame said when you look at the body of evidence, there's actually no difference between intermittent fasting and just reducing calorie intake.

If you reduce the window in which you eat, say to just 12-8pm, you're less likely to eat more calories, which makes perfect sense, he said.

However, if somebody chooses to eat thousands of calories within the window, then it's kind of counterproductive.

It's not really based on anything kind of biological or physiological. It's more just kind of a byproduct of reducing the amount of time you can eat.

Graeme said its just another strategy to cut back on calories which can absolutely help with weight loss - but its not some kind of magic formula.

14

Some of the slimmest people you know might tell you I just dont eat past 6pm.

Coincidence? Graeme said what time you have your dinner is not proven to have any relevance to losing body fat.

What's important is over the 24 hours, how many calories come in and how many calories you expend.

Limiting late-night eating may help you sleep, however, an often overlooked pillar of health that can promote healthy weight.

A cookie and a mango both have high contents of sugar. But somewhere along the line, the cookie has become the devil.

Graeme said: People put food into boxes and think that you should never eat the cookie because it must be bad, and the mango is good.

But actually, they're both very different kinds of foods that you can include. It's just about understanding the simple differences.

The mango has vitamins, nutrients and fibre. The cookie, while having little health value, is quite simply, delicious and brings you joy.

You can absolutely include both in your diet, Graeme said. A lot of people say there's good sugar and bad sugar, but there isn't. It all metabolises the same. What I would say is just moderate your intake.

14

The same goes for carbs, which are thrown out in diets like keto.

Graeme said: Why would you want to cut out bread, pasta and rice when there's no evidence to suggest that they will result in more fat gain?

The argument is that refined white carbs are not as filling due to being lower in fibre.

But Graeme noted a study in which participants only ate white rice and fruits for a period of time and lost an average of 10st each.

Why did they lose so much weight? Because they were in a calorie deficit, Graeme said, adding that carbs are a fundamental part of the diet.

14

That new cookbook you got for Christmas has outlined a strict 12-week diet and exercise plan that promises you a new figure.

But be warned - following a very strict regimen could see you run out of enthusiasm fast, and you might not actually learn anything in the long-run.

Graeme said: When you get to the end of the meal plan, you're kind of stuck and end up going back to what youre used to.

The other aspect is that these meal plans don't cater for a social life. What happens if you have someone's birthday dinner, are you going to just not go? Or are you going to enjoy something which is not on the plan and then technically, you have failed?

It's just not very flexible and conducive to a kind of horrible living.

14

Exercise is a cornerstone of health. Sure, find a way to get active in a way that you enjoy, and reap the benefits of weight loss as a side effect.

But dont get stuck doing something you hate, just because you think it will fast-track your weight loss.

Graeme said: The key is enjoying exercise so that you are more likely to carry on with it. If youre not into strength training, try walking or climbing hills, or other activities at school you stopped doing.

A diet that replaces meals with shakes or soups may give you fast results.

But, aside from being - lets face it - depressing, there is no longevity to the diet unless you plan on drinking shakes for the rest of your life, Graeme said.

He said people end up going back to their old diet because they havent learnt anything about healthy eating, and get stuck yo-yoing.

They're not building sustainable habits that are going to last for the rest of their life, which is what they need, Graeme said.

14

Most supplements are unnecessary, Graeme said, warning against things like fat burners and metabolism capsules.

There's very, very little science to back that up, he said.

The only supplements I would sort of recommend for people, especially living in the UK, for general health would be things like vitamin D and high quality fish oils and maybe a multivitamin.

Your best pal wants you to join a slimming club with her in the New Year, and youre keen, having seen the before and afters in the promos.

But, fundamentally, these diet groups do not educate their members on the simple premise of calorie deficits and portions - which is key for improving health and weight loss, Graeme said.

In Grames opinion: They're taking you away from the principles that you need to know so that you become reliant on them, so they keep getting money.

It's just like a conveyor belt of people who may have lost a bit of weight, don't understand how it happened because there was no education, and then for the same reason they gain the weight back. Then they go back to the slimming club and its never ending.

Diet clubs usually get people to step on the scales each week, with the whole room watching when the number doesn't go down.

Graeme explained the fault in this, saying: "Over seven days, weight can fluctuate quite a bit. It could be part of your menstrual cycle, you could be wearing heavier clothes, or you might not have been to the toilet yet that day. And so for a consultant to tell somebody that they've gained weight, it's quite flawed.

Graeme warned against labelling foods good or bad because it could lead to a distorted view of food.

He said: You might feel really bad for eating a chocolate bar because you think that its high in calories and has no nutrients.

But in the context of your overall week, it's 200 calories. It's not the end of the world. It's what you do over the long game that really counts.

Meanwhile, this way of thinking can mask that good healthy foods can also be very high in calories.

Take trendy peanut butter - 40g on a slice of toast amounts to 340 calories compared to your favourite naughty jam, which comes to just 195 calories.

Right way to lose weight

WANT to know how to really lose weight and keep it off? Heres what works

TINY TWEAKS: The number-one rule of losing weight is to consume fewer calories than you burn, called a calorie deficit. Graeme says counting calories can be a wake-up call and doesnt need to be something you do long term.

A chicken salad seems healthy before you realise the 25ml of olive oil youre adding is 200-300 calories, he explains. You can reduce that to 5ml without starting a whole new diet, its just a small tweak.

GO SLOW: Youll have to trust Graeme on this one the slower you take things, the better and more long-lasting results youll likely get.

He suggests making gradual small changes, such as buying 50 per cent lower fat cheddar cheese or switching to diet fizzy drinks, rather than overhauling your diet overnight. That way, he says: Youre able to keep going with it. Its more sustainable.

FLEX IT: You ate a huge takeaway pizza on Saturday night, but it doesnt have to be a failure. Just get back on track and make better choices the next day, says Graeme. You could have a light lunch and go for a walk, he says. Graeme focuses on calories over a week, rather than day by day, to allow for flexibility.

THE F-WORD: Foods that are dense in fibre and protein will keep you full because they are harder to digest, says Graeme. Focus on fitting some form of fibre and protein be it green veg, lean meats or eggs into every meal.

LOVE TO MOVE: Hate the gym? Then dont go! The key is adhering to and sustaining exercise, long term, says Graeme. If you enjoy walking and you can hit 10,000 to 15,000 steps a day, then youre probably doing more to achieve your goal than if you went to the gym, which you hate, and hung about for 45 minutes and then left.

You dont have to tell us twice!

The ten diet rules you should IGNORE if you want to lose weight... - The Sun

Climate change and green houses gases (GHG) have been hot topics for agriculture in the past few months. Farmers are being considered as a part of the solution, as companies who spew GHG want to pay farmers to put in place practices that will sequester carbon in the soil.

A few examples of sequestration practices include planting cover crops to remove more atmospheric carbon dioxide, as well as no till farming to reduce soil displacement into the atmosphere. These are fine ideas; benefits of our free market system as family farmers enjoy a new revenue stream and potentially better soil health.

However, one segment of agriculture is being targeted and used as a whipping post by some. Im talking about producers with cow herds, whether dairy or beef cows. Methane is now blamed as a major culprit in our global climate woes.

Lets look at some historical references about large mammals who have inhabited the U.S. and Canada since the land was settled. Its important to understand which animals cattle have replaced on the landscape. Right now, there are approximately 100 million cattle in Canada and the United States. Estimates of bison in this same region totaled about 70 million compared to todays count of 350 thousand. Elk numbers were 10 million 300 years ago, but todays number is one million. The same can be said for deer and antelope, their numbers have decreased in the same time period. My point is that the number of large mammals in this part of the world has not changed dramatically in the last 300 years.

Something that seldom enters the discussion is the length of time in which select GHGs remain in the atmosphere. Methane has a life expectancy of 10 years, compared to an estimate of 300 years for CO2. If we are looking to stabilize the amount of GHGs in the atmosphere, then we should consider stabilizing our current cattle herds, which would go a long way to slow the earths warming. The University of New Hampshire is conducting studies to determine if seaweed additives in cattle feed could reduce the amount of methane a cow emits. If this works on a wider scale, then we can start reducing the amount of GHGs contributed by agriculture with the same stabilized cattle herd.

Of course, there is a big reason why we need to have farm animals, including cows in the global food diet. We know we do not have enough tillable ground to raise the food this planet needs. The United Nations estimates we have 7.8 billion people on the planet and some experts point to vertical farming as a solution. Vertical farming translates to crops being grown indoors, under artificial conditions of light and temperature.

Even with vertical agriculture, I do not believe we can all eat a solely plant-based diet. According to a study published in May, 2020 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 38 percent of the global land surface is used for agriculture. Of that, one third is cropland and two thirds is pasture land. This same study provided a historical reference of cropland to population. In 1961, there was 1.11 acres of cropland devoted to feeding one person in the world. By 2016, that number had dropped to .52 acres per person. In 1960, a farmer fed just 26 people. Today, the average U.S. farmer feeds 155 people.

Despite that increase we are falling behind feeding the worlds population. A plant-based diet alone cant feed the world. This is one reason why we need family farms that raise the milk and meat that are crucial to our diets and food security.

A fibroids diet, as Rhoden and Stewart reminded me, isnt a one-size-fits-all plan; it takes some tinkering to find what works for youand should always be accompanied by gynecological advice. While many of my symptoms have eased dramatically with the various dietary changes outlined below, perhaps, most importantly, I finally feel more connected to my body. After all those years of cursing my uterus, Im finally taking care of her (she goes by Marge) while acknowledging that I deserve to live without chronic pain. Heres what Ive learned along the way:

Fibroids, also called leiomyomas or myomas, are benign (non-cancerous) growths located in the uterine wall and typically ranging in size from a marble to a grapefruit. (Though, the largest fibroid ever removed reportedly weighed 61 pounds.) Although size influences fibroid symptoms, location can be even more important, Stewart wrote in Uterine Fibroids. Meaning, the type of fibroid present dictates how a patient might feel.

Unfortunately, not a lot is known about what causes fibroids. Its astonishing, given how common fibroids are, that many of the most basic questions havent been answered, Stewart tells me over the phone. We should know as much about fibroids as we do heart disease but we dont. While studies havent concluded why fibroids develop or what makes them grow, family history plays a role, as do the reproductive hormones, estrogen and progesterone. And Black people, whom Stewart says are most at risk for fibroids, usually show symptoms at a younger age (20 to 30s, versus 30s to 40s). Fibroids can shrink on their own, says Dr. Stewart, when menstruation ends and menopause starts, at which point they may no longer cause pain.

The people Stewart treats exhibit a range of symptoms based on the number of tumors they have and their locations and sizes. For some, she says, pain is localized in the uterus, while others might experience back and leg pain. And various patients only experience fibroid pain during their periods, whereas others experience both menstrual and non-menstrual pain. The most common fibroid symptoms include: pelvic cramping, heavy and/or long periods, irregular bleeding, bloating, frequent urination, lower back and leg pain, and pain during sex.

The following fibroids diet suits me but might not be ideal for you; take the suggestions that help and leave the rest. Common fibroid symptoms, like constipation and bloating, are indicators of whats working and whats not. Your body knows what it needs, Rhoden says. And tuning into that data is an empowering first step in anyones uterine health journey.

Go big on fiberRhoden advises her clients to crowd in plant-based foods, especially leafy greens like kale, spinach, broccoli, collard greens, swiss chard, and fruits such as oranges and apples. The fiber in whole fruits and vegetables, and whole grains, like oats, is intended to relieve constipation, a symptom (which, unfortunately, I can attest to) that often accompanies fibroids.

Remember when the media were obsessed with murderous millennials? There was a period, some years back, when every other article was about how millennials were killing everything from the diamond industry to napkins to capitalism. (Alas, we didnt quite manage to top that last one.) Anyway, we had a good run, but we millennials are old now; we have kids and cricks in our necks. It is gen Zs turn to pick up the sword. And what do you know? It seems they already have. Their first victim? The word diet.

According to CNN, diet drinks are disappearing from supermarket shelves and being replaced with identical products labelled as zero sugar. Younger people just dont like the word diet, it reported the chief marketing officer at PepsiCo Beverages North America saying at an industry conference last month. No gen Z wants to be on a diet these days.

According to a report by the market research company Mintel last year: While the diet designation may be associated with strict regimes or deprivation, the zero designation has fewer negative connotations, corresponding with simply a cleaner profile.

Credit where it is due: gen Zs tastes have been shaped by their elders. The word diet, along with the strict calorie counting that went along with it, started going out of fashion years ago. Body positivity became all the rage and the idea that you might not feel good about your body became slightly embarrassing.

Unrealistic beauty ideals were still being shoved down peoples throats, but you couldnt really admit that they were influencing you. People stopped talking about dieting and starting gushing about woolly concepts such as wellness and clean eating which are often just diets in disguise.

Diet may have become a dirty word, but dieting is by no means dead it has just gone into stealth mode.

At the turn of the new year, its not hard to find ads for gym memberships or fad diets promising to get folks to look their best, but that diet culture can have a devastating impact on those dealing with eating disorders. The National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders estimates nearly 1in 10 Americans will be affected by an eating disorder in their lifetime."There is probably someone in your life that is struggling with body image distress, disordered eating or an eating disorder," said mental health counselor Emily Compton. Compton says eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness.Psychologist Sally Thornton owns of Magnolia Center for Counseling and Eating Recovery in Winston-Salem and says new year's resolutions about diet don't make much sense considering winter is when humans naturally want to eat more."January is not a fresh start, it's the middle of the winter," Thornton said. "It's kind of setting people up for so-called failure."Thornton says comments about a person's physical appearance, whether it is positive or negative rarely help the person."Both of those are equally as damaging to a person who has an eating disorder because they are thinking about their body as messed up already," Thornton said. "Or comments about how much food they are or are not eating."Marissa Blizzard was officially diagnosed with anoxia, depression, anxiety and OCD in 2018, but says the feelings of discomfort stretch back even further. "I remember setting resolutions in middle and elementary school to lose weight and its just not something we need to focus on," Blizard said. "I was going to the bathroom every day in school because I couldn't sit there because all I was thinking was I have to move my body, I have to burn this."She says social media can have devastating effects and one of her first intervention strategies is to steer patients away from the edited photos they may see online. Thornton believes bodyweight measurements can often be seen as the end-all, be-all but sometimes can sometimes lead to health care providers focusing too much on physical health while forgetting about emotional and spiritual wellbeing. "Medical providers want to address that risk because it has to do with their expertise, but they often leave out the whole rest of the person," Thornton said. "Restrictive diets don't work. Because if they did thered only be one. And there are thousands of them.

New Year's diet culture can have negative impact on those with eating disorders - WXII12 Winston-Salem

A new study suggests that a healthy diet initiated by women before conception could lower the risk of obesity in the offspring.

Childhood obesity is a major public health concern in the UK, with nearly a quarter of children under 5 and more than a third of children starting secondary school being overweight or obese. Furthermore, childhood obesity is likely to persist in adulthood and have long-term health consequences.

Researchers at the University of Southampton analysed dietary data of 2963 mother-child dyads identified from the UK Southampton Womens Survey. Using the dietary data, each mother-child dyad was assigned combined diet quality score, based on which they were categorised into 5 groups: poor, poor-medium, medium, medium-better and best. Childhood adiposity was evaluated using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and body mass index (BMI) z-scores.

The findings, published in the International Journal of Obesity , showed that mother-offspring diet quality trajectories were stable from pre-conception in mothers to age 8 to 9 years in the offspring. A poorer diet quality trajectory was linked to higher pre-pregnancy maternal BMI, lower maternal age at birth, lower educational levels, smoking, and multiparity.

After adjusting for confounders, a 1-category reduction in the dietary trajectory was associated with higher DXA percentage body fat (0.08 standard deviation [SD]; 95% CI 0.01 to 0.15) and BMI z-score (0.08 SD; 95% CI 0.00 to 0.16) in the offspring aged 8 to 9 years.

Lead author Dr Crozier, University of Southampton, said: "This research shows the importance of intervening at the earliest possible stage in a childs life, in pregnancy or even before conception, to enable us to tackle it."The authors believe the pre-conception period serves as a crucial window to introduce favourable changes in the maternal dietary quality.

The research was funded by grants from the Medical Research Council, project EarlyNutrition, and the European Unions Seventh Framework and Horizon 2020 programmes. The study also received support from National Institute for Health Research Southampton Biomedical Research Centre, the University of Southampton and University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust. The authors report no competing interests.

If a consumer is avoiding dairy, they can toggle on dairy-none in the Shop by Diet tool, and then scan the food item theyre interested in, and it will let you know if its an appropriate choice.

Walmart helps people save money so they can live better, which also means living healthier, noted the retailer. We want to make it convenient for our customers to find and buy groceries that meet their wellness goals, and we are excited to work with Sifter to launch the one-of-a-kind Shop by Diet tool to make eating better even easier.

The tool, powered by Sifters technology, enables Walmart customers to shop for foods and supplements based on the presence of allergens such as nuts or dairy, in accordance with medical conditions like diabetes and heart disease, and to support lifestyle diets ranging from vegan to keto to kosher. Shoppers can also use the Shop by Diet tool to sort through products based on responsible practices like grass-fed, or identify products that wont interact with certain medications.

Partnering with Walmart to support customer wellness is exciting for all of us at Sifter, said Andrew Parkinson, co-founder of Chicago-based Sifter, who with his brother, Thomas, also founded Peapod and ItemMaster. Our passion is to make healthy eating easy for everyone and we believe Walmarts Shop-by-Diet tool will help millions of its customers better manage their health through diet and nutrition.

The Walmart Shop-by-Diet tool is available online.

Employing a proprietary science-based sifting technology with 130-plus diet and nutrition filters, Sifters free interactive site enables users to find food products and dietary supplements based on their personal diet needs and preferences. The companys technology powers retail, brand and health care platforms.

According to Sifter, more than 200 million consumers are following a diet or health-related program, while 85 million shoppers have allergies or food avoidances.

Last September, Walmart rolled out Built for Better, described by Jane Ewing, the companys SVP, sustainability, as an online shopping destination that makes it easy for customers to identify and shop for products that are built better for them and for the planet.
