Lawsuit challenges FDA approval of additive that makes Impossible Burger ‘bleed’ – Food Safety News

Posted: February 5, 2021 at 6:52 am

The Center for Food Safety is challenging the FDAs approval of a color additive used to make Impossible Foods plant-based burger appear to bleed like real meat. The advocacy group claims that the FDAs decision was not based on convincing evidence as required by regulation.

In a brief filed Jan. 28 inthe Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals,the center is specifically challenging the Food and Drug Administrations 2019 approval of soy leghemoglobin.

FDA approved soy leghemoglobin even though it conducted none of the long-term animal studies that are needed to determine whether or not it harms human health, said Bill Freese, science policy analyst at the Center for Food Safety (CFS).

This includes studies for cancer, reproductive impairment and other adverse effects called for by FDAs Redbook, the Bible of food and color additive testing. We find this to be all the more troubling because a number of potential adverse effects were detected in a short-term rat trial: disruption of reproductive cycles and reduced uterine weights in females and biomarkers of anemia, reduced clotting ability and kidney problems.

The novel heme colorant is produced in genetically engineered (GE) yeast and is modeled on a protein found in the roots of soybeans. The ingredient is also referred to as genetically engineered heme, soy leghemoglobin. It is the color additive Impossible Foods uses to make its plant-based burger appear to bleed as if it were beef.

FDAs failure to require Impossible Foods to conduct long-term tests called for in the agencys own authoritative guidelines means it does not have convincing evidence that this color additive, consumed by millions, is safe, said Ryan Talbott, staff attorney at CFS.

The approval of soy leghemoglobin must be revoked, unless and until truly convincing evidence proves it to be safe.

The GE heme is a color additive preparation that also contains more than a dozen yeast proteins.

In order to make this GMO heme, Impossible Foods uses the process of synthetic biology to extract DNA from the roots of soy plants where a small amount of heme is produced and then inserts the DNA into genetically engineered yeast where it is fermented to mass-produce the genetically engineered heme.

Because GE heme is new to the human diet, and substantial quantities are added to the Impossible Burger, CFS contends that the FDA should have required extensive safety testing before approving its use as a color additive, as required by law.

The FDA is supposed to have an extremely high bar for approval for color additives in food. The agencys convincing evidence standard means that a color additive cannot be approved without the strongest possible evidence of safety, a higher bar than for other food additives. However, Impossible Foods products containing GE heme are now widely available in supermarkets across the country because of what CPS believes was the FDAs unlawful approval of GE heme as a color additive. according to the center officials.

3D-printed fresh vegetables become reality with new method – E&T Magazine

Posted: February 5, 2021 at 6:52 am

A new way to create 'food inks' from fresh and frozen vegetables that enables 3D-printed food has been developed by Singapore researchers.

The research team claims their method preserves the nutrition and flavour better than existing methods.

Food inks are usually made from pureed foods in liquid or semi-solid form, then 3D-printed by extrusion from a nozzle and assembled layer by layer.

Pureed foods are usually served to patients suffering from swallowing difficulties known as dysphagia. To present the food in a more visually appetising way, healthcare professionals have used silicone moulds to shape pureed foods, which is both labour and time intensive and requires storage.

While 3D food-printing means food can be easily produced in a desired shape and texture in a shorter time, the dehydrated food and freeze-dried powders used as food inks usually contain a high percentage of food additives such as hydrocolloids (HCs) to stabilise the ink and enable a smoother printing process.

High concentration of HCs usually changes the taste, texture and aroma of the printed food, making it unappetising to patients with dysphagia. This may lead to reduced food consumption and malnutrition among patients.

To overcome this challenge, the research team explored various combinations of fresh and frozen vegetables to make the food inks stable.

They said they were able to better preserve the nutrition of the printed food, which was also more palatable and therefore should lead to increased meal consumption by patients.

Professor Yi Zhang, principal investigator from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, said, Our technology helps to provide dysphagic patients with adequate nutrient-rich and safe diets.Their feeding is more dignified, enabling them to socialise and consume meals that look, feel and taste like regular food.

Our method of 3D-printing fresh vegetables can be used easily in hospitals; nursing homes; day-care centres for the ageing population with dysphagia, and other swallowing disorders. Our research is also another step forward in digital gastronomy, where we can cater to specific requirements prescribed by dieticians, such as nutrition customisation and visual appeal.

Corresponding author professor Chua Chee Kai added: The next frontier of additive manufacturing is 3D food-printing. As the 3D food-printing landscape is increasingly evolving, we are excited to continue pushing the boundaries of this industry to find innovative solutions for global issues, such as food security and sustainability.

Everything you need to know about a raw food diet for your pet – Stuff.co.nz

Posted: February 5, 2021 at 6:52 am

This story was published on Thrive

Finding the purr-fect diet for your pet can be a dogs breakfast. Fiona Ralph digs in to the raw food diet to find us answers.

As many of us revert to more traditional ways of eating, its only natural we should consider what we feed our fur babies. The growing popularity of raw pet food has sent some pet owners back to basics.

But theres disagreement in the industry about exactly how far back we should go. Is a raw-food diet what nature intended, or is it a step too far?

Because of some risks around raw feeding, the veterinary industry has traditionally advised against it, but more holistic vets view it as a solution for many health issues.

READ MORE:* Pet numbers have to shrink if we want to help save the planet, expert says* Supercharge your pets health with a fresh, natural diet* The Kiwi dogs who aren't allowed to eat meat* Raw food infiltrates canine market

We asked four professionals from different sides of the debate to weigh in.

Raw Essentials vet Dr Rebecca Brown spends her days consulting with clients about their pets health issues and figuring out how she can help them via a species-appropriate raw diet.

Shes long had an interest in wholefoods and lives by the quote, often credited to Hippocrates: Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

Rebecca says the company supports those who choose to give their pets raw food to make sure they do it well. We frequently observe positive, sometimes phenomenal, health benefits and feel happy to extend this to as many pets as possible.

She has worked as a vet for 25 years, and joined Raw Essentials six years ago.

The company has 12 stores around the North Island, as well as an online store, selling freeze-dried and frozen meat, bones and organs for cats and dogs.

Meat and seafood is sourced from sustainable, local sources and includes salmon, beef and chicken, as well as wild pest species such as wallabies, rabbits and possums.

As well as helping to alleviate some disease states, raw diets can help with coat and body condition, energy levels and even behavioural issues, she says.

But she warns that raw diets are not a panacea for all health conditions and wont suit every pet. Disease states can be very complex.

Raw diets are not a panacea for all animal health conditions.

She says few studies have been published on raw feeding, but she cites research by Finland-based DogRisk, which found that a raw diet may be beneficial for cats and dogs, and that there was a low incidence of the pathogens campylobacter, salmonella, and yersinia in the frozen raw foods they tested.

The risk of these pathogens to owners and pets, alongside the danger of pets choking on bones, are two of the main concerns cited by opponents to raw feeding, including the World Small Animal Veterinary Association.

However, the UK-based Raw Feeding Veterinary Society contests these criticisms, and says that their evidence points to the gold-standard raw diet being as close to the evolutionary diet of dogs and cats as is practically possible.

My own cat has gone from pedigree food to raw meat, and is now on prescription biscuits.

My experience was that the raw food completely cleared up his asthma and some unfortunate digestive issues. However, it may have created other digestive issues, so he is now on a prescription high-fibre food and, unfortunately, his asthma has come back.

After researching this story, I suspect I may not have been feeding him a complete raw diet with enough cartilage and bones, which are necessary for fibre, and are a source of essential minerals such as calcium and phosphorus.

Thats one of the main issues Jennifer Hamlin sees with raw diets.

The senior lecturer and programme leader at Otago Polytechnics School of Veterinary Nursing and chair of the Allied Veterinary Professional Regulatory Council says that while either raw food or a high-quality commercial diet can work, she encourages those feeding raw to research exactly what their pets need, and to talk to professionals, such as the team at Raw Essentials, to ensure they are doing it right.

Talk to a lot of different people, she says.

Ben Hanson/Unsplash

Research is needed for animals being moved to a more raw and seemingly healthier diet.

Focus on people who are objective and thinking about science. One of the biggest problems with people who are feeding their pets raw food diets is that theres a concern that the animals will be unsafe either because of bones that are not fed properly or because of pathogens in the food, but when thats properly managed in a safe way, then (a raw diet) can be a very good diet.

Some animals are at higher risk if you feed them raw food, so one way around that is to cook the raw food before giving it, to kill off some of the pathogens.

Bones need to be the right size for an animal so they dont choke, and should never be cooked, she adds.

You should also ensure your pets are eating organs as well as bones, she says, as meat alone does not supply all the required nutrients. And dont feed your pets raw bones in combination with extensive carbohydrates because the stomach requires quite a lot of acidity to digest bones, and carbohydrates decrease the acidity of the gut.

It takes a bit of research to get it right.

If you dont have the time for that, raw feeding may not be for you, says Jennifer.

Most people dont have time to do a lot of reading and research to try and find the perfect diet. For those people, a very high-quality commercially prepared pet food diet is probably the best solution.

She says any of the premium brands are safe to feed to your pets, since they heavily invest in research to try to ensure their products are safe and effective, but cautions against anything thats too processed.

We do know by looking at human research and human nutrition that processed foods can actually be harmful to health. And that is what most commercial pet food diets are theyre processed."

Its not a one-size-fits-all answer. Unfortunately, we dont have a perfect nutritional profile for an animal. And its the same with humans there is no perfect diet that humans should adopt.

The Association of American Feed Control Officials, which regulates pet food in the US, sets minimal requirements for product ingredients, but that doesnt mean those foods are ideal nutritional sources.

The majority of (conventional) pet food diets are sourced from animals that are not going to be used for human consumption, says Jennifer.

That means they might have drugs in their system, they might be diseased, they might have been very stressed or ill for a long time before they died. Theres not very good regulation around the source of those animal products.

There is, however, a growing number of New Zealand brands producing ethically sourced pet food, marrying the demand for raw food with the need for convenience.

Ziwi Peak makes air-dried and wet food from sustainably sourced New Zealand meat and seafood such as beef, lamb, venison, mackerel and mussels.

Animals Like Us, launched in August by Icebreaker founder Jeremy Moon and former Icebreaker creative director Rob Achten, offers dog food that is a mix of freeze-dried raw and oven-baked meat, with cat food to follow.

Though these products are still processed, albeit not as much as some conventional pet foods, Dr Liza Schneider of Holistic Vets in Tauranga says that freeze-dried or air-dried products can be more convenient for some owners and can help to reduce risks of pathogens such as bacteria and hydatid cysts in meat.

Liza has been feeding raw food to her own pets, and recommending it to clients for years, since observing improvements in some of her patients as a young vet.

Dogs and cats in the wild eat mainly meat, and its common sense that they should thrive on a diet that they are adapted to eating, she says.

For most pets, I find that a well-balanced meat/protein-based food that has no carbohydrates, foreign chemicals or preservatives optimal. Although many pets survive on conventional pet food, I have always wanted the very best for my patients and find that most thrive on more wholesome, natural food.

However, she says prescription diets have their place, and in some cases can be invaluable.

Its always a matter of weighing up the pros and cons in any situation, and diet recommendations often need to be individual-specific for animals with certain health issues.

A word of caution Madison Parslow, a veterinary nurse at Whangaparaoa Veterinary Centre north of Auckland, is concerned that raw diets can be dangerous.

She says food that contains bones can cause obstructions and tears in the gastrointestinal tract, broken teeth and even fractures, and raw food is more likely to carry parasites and bacteria, such as salmonella.

Even frozen raw food can still contain harmful bacteria when thawed.

Although I like the idea of a raw food diet, raw diets are often not balanced and therefore are not ideal. There are some cases where this diet has benefited individual animals. However, I do believe a lot of the time they cause more harm than good.

Madison says that the benefits of a raw-food diet seem to last only for a short term.

More problems seem to arise the longer the animal is eating the raw food. If you are going to attempt a raw food diet, it is important to do your research, seek help from a veterinary specialist and do regular blood testing to ensure you are giving your pet the correct levels of nutrients.

Jennifer Hamlin believes that vets need to work with pet owners who are feeding their animals raw diets to ensure a good outcome.

I think the vet industry is coming around to the idea that we need to work with clients who want to feed raw, to help them be safe. If we dont, we risk alienating them and then they wont have the support they need to look after their pets.

While vets may be divided on the issue of raw food, the experts I spoke to agreed that low-cost commercial pet food is the worst option.

If you are limited with your budget, however, look for foods with the most natural ingredients and the least artificial flavours and colours.

Many brands that are readily available at supermarkets have low nutritional value and usually have inappropriate levels of ingredients such as fat and salt, in a bid to make them cheaper for the buyer, says Madison.

These foods are usually filled with unnecessary fillers that provide no nutritional benefits to the pets.

Jennifer agrees. Some of those pet foods in the store might be okay, but you need to actually be an expert to be able to read pet food labels and determine which ones those are. My rule of thumb with nutrition is to be as sceptical as possible.

For animals, we just dont have the answers we need so we need to be open-minded, be focused on safety and be prepared to do the research if were not going to feed from a bag.

Madison recommends high-end commercial pet foods, such as Hills and Royal Canin.

They are specifically formulated to meet the individual needs of your pets and control the levels of ingredients such as salt and fat, unlike some supermarket brands, she says.

She also sometimes recommends a cooked omnivorous diet, including meat, vegetables and rice, prepared without oil or seasoning.

Whatever you decide, its important to transition your pet slowly to any new diet and seek advice from your veterinarian.

While this article focuses on cats and dogs, the same principles apply to other pets, says veterinarian nursing lecturer Jennifer Hamlin.

One of the key fundamentals is to really become knowledgeable in nutrition for the pets that you have.

Guinea pigs need fresh foods with vitamin C, such as fresh greens, while a birds diet depends upon the shape of its beak and the type of food it would eat in the wild. Canaries, for example, need a range of different foods, including protein, greens and the occasional insect.

You never want to just feed seed. That is not a sufficient diet for a bird. You want to feed a range of wholefoods very similar to what they would get in the wild.

Opinion | Feb. 5: Let’s impeach Trudeau, bring back Grade 13, Doug Ford’s half-baked lockdown and other letters to the editor – TheSpec.com

Posted: February 5, 2021 at 6:52 am

Bring back Grade 13 to help kids catch up

I dont know to what extent provincial government responses to the COVID pandemic have affected the academic progress of students in elementary and high schools in Hamilton. Shutting down schools, limiting the number of students in school and teaching via the internet change both the quantity and quality of the education students receive. I cannot believe that the majority of students have learned as much as they would have in a normal year. Even though the pandemic situation is fluid, surely it is past time for the province to announce plans for the 2021-22 school year. If teachers confirm that most students have not made sufficient progress, the province must change the curriculum so that each grade has a remedial component and should consider reintroducing Grade 13 to ensure that students have progressed to the same level they would have if the pandemic had not happened.

Andrew Bell, Stoney Creek

Doug Fords half-baked lockdown

Doug Ford has done it again. A half-baked version of a lockdown. No outdoor activities of more than five people, no dollar stores and restrictions should be implemented at places like Costco and Walmart. Essential workers cannot work from home, but everyone else who can, should. Get real Mr. Ford and put some teeth into a lockdown. How about a curfew like Quebec?

Property tax comparisons dont add up

I read the article about property on Beach Boulevard in Hamilton. In this article you show two properties that sold recently.

Number 1 property was 755 Beach Blvd. which sold for $1.3 million. The property was 5341 square feet in size with a house that is enormous. The taxes for 2020 were $2,863.

Number 2 property was 733 Beach Blvd. which sold for $1.1 million. The property was 8750 square feet in size with a house that is big. The taxes on this property for 2020 were $5,229. The properties are only a few feet apart.

I live in Waterdown with a two-level bungalow half the size on a small lot and my taxes for 2020 were $5,200. I wish someone, maybe a councillor, could tell me why the big discrepancy in tax levels in these examples.

Eric Halliwell, Waterdown

Diets just dont work

Straight talk on intermittent fasting (Jan. 12)

I was dismayed to read the article about intermittent fasting. At Body Brave, we see people struggling with eating disorders, which are life-threatening illnesses. Often our clients tell us that their disordered eating began with dieting, and intermittent fasting is yet another diet. The author of the article rightly points out that there is little research evidence to support intermittent fasting as a safe and healthy way to lose weight. Yet there is an abundance of research to show that diets are almost always ineffective in the long run people regain the weight theyve lost. Meanwhile, the abnormal eating patterns associated with the diet lead to an increasing obsession with food, weight and body image. All too often, this leads to the development of an eating disorder. The prevalence of eating disorders has dramatically increased since the advent of COVID-19, due to the multiple stressors associated with the pandemic. Lets not make things worse by advocating intermittent fasting!

Karen Trollope-Kumar, MD, medical director, Body Brave

Trudeau should be impeached

We have had the opportunity to see a free and open vote in the U.S. Congress to impeach former president Donald Trump an unprecedented second time. Ten Republicans crossed the aisle and voted against their own party. If we had the same open and free vote here in our own country, the prime minister would have been impeached three times. One for the Agha Kahn visit, two for the SNC Lavalin scandal and finally for the We charity misadventure. Im sure he would have been tried and the verdict would have been guilty.

Vote the entitled PCs out

A recent letter said: if you want someone to represent you, then vote for someone like you. That made my decision for the next provincial election easier. I hope people take this to heart and vote this current entitled PC party out.

Supply management protects farmers

Carbon tax could lead to food insecurity (Jan. 13)

Mr. Charlebois projects that the carbon tax could increase to $170/tonne by 2030 which could cripple many of Canadas food producers and make us more dependent on imported food especially from countries with a lower carbon tax and lower food safety standards. He also says that farmers cant increase their prices even if production costs increase and therefore could exit their business. This is not necessarily true. Some farmers (dairy and poultry) have a system called supply management which monitors the costs of good farmers in these industries so that prices can be set accordingly to cover these costs. It is not a guarantee of success because the cost of production is not set so as to protect inefficient producers. But it does give a certain stability to good farmers which generally enables them to pay debts and earn a decent living which keeps their suppliers and creditors satisfied and does help the economy of our country. It also allows them to invest in techniques and strategies which keep them producing quantities and quality and safe food which satisfies the public demand and does so at a fair price.

High levels of toxic heavy metals found in some baby foods: report – CTV News

Posted: February 5, 2021 at 6:52 am

WASHINGTON -- U.S. congressional investigators found "dangerous levels of toxic heavy metals" in certain baby foods that could cause neurological damage, a House Oversight subcommittee said in a report released on Thursday.

The panel examined baby foods made by Nurture Inc, Hain Celestial Group Inc, Beech-Nut Nutrition and Gerber, a unit of Nestle, it said, adding that it was "greatly concerned" that Walmart Inc, Campbell Soup Co and Sprout Organic Foods refused to cooperate with the investigation.

The report said internal company standards "permit dangerously high levels of toxic heavy metals, and documents revealed that the manufacturers have often sold foods that exceeded those levels" and it called on U.S. regulators to set maximum levels of toxic heavy metals permitted in baby foods and require manufacturers to test finished products for heavy metals, not just ingredients.

Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi, a Democrat who chairs the panel that released the report, said it found "these manufacturers knowingly sell baby food containing high levels of toxic heavy metals ... Its time that we develop much better standards for the sake of future generations."

A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) spokesman said it was reviewing the report.

The agency noted toxic elements are present in the environment and enter the food supply through soil, water or air. "Because they cannot be completely removed, our goal is to reduce exposure to toxic elements in foods to the greatest extent feasible," the FDA said.

Campbell said in a statement on its website that its products are safe and cited the lack of a current FDA standard for heavy metals in baby food. The company said it thought it had been "full partners" in the study with congressional researchers.

Walmart said it submitted information to the committee in February 2020 and never received any subsequent inquiries. The retail giant requires private label product suppliers to hew to its own internal specifications, "which for baby and toddler food means the levels must meet or fall below the limits established by the FDA."

Hain Celestial, which makes Earth's Best, said it had not seen the report and did not have a chance to review it.

A Gerber representative said the elements in question occur naturally in the soil and water in which crops are grown and added it takes multiple steps "to minimize their presence."

The report was critical also of the administration of former President Donald Trump, saying it "ignored a secret industry presentation to federal regulators revealing increased risks of toxic heavy metals in baby foods."

The report said "in 100% of the Hain baby foods tested, inorganic arsenic levels were higher in the finished baby food than the company estimated they would be based on individual ingredient testing."

It said that in August 2019 the FDA received a secret slide presentation from Hain that said "corporate policies to test only ingredients, not final products, underrepresent the levels of toxic heavy metals in baby foods."

The report said the FDA took no new action in response. "To this day, baby foods containing toxic heavy metals bear no label or warning to parents. Manufacturers are free to test only ingredients, or, for the vast majority of baby foods, to conduct no testing at all," the report said.

The FDA has declared that inorganic arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury are dangerous, particularly to infants and children, the report noted.

The FDA in August finalized guidance to industry, setting an action level of 100 parts per billion inorganic arsenic in infant rice cereal.

"We acknowledge that there is more work to be done, but the FDA reiterates its strong commitment to continue to reduce consumer exposure to toxic elements and other contaminants from food," the FDA said Thursday.

All you need to know about intermittent fasting – Times of India

Posted: February 5, 2021 at 6:50 am

There are several ways of doing intermittent fasting. In some, you eat either very little or nothing at all. The 5 most popular kinds of intermittent fasting are:

12 hours of fasting: This kind of fasting is the simplest one, where a person needs to adhere to 12 hours fasting window every day. The easiest way to follow this fast is to include the period of sleep in the fasting window. You can choose to fast between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m.

The 16/8 method: This is also referred to as the Leangains protocol. The 16/8 methods involve skipping breakfast and restricting the eating period to 8 hours. In this eating window, one can fit in two, three, or more meals. You just need to be careful about your calorie intake.

Eat-Stop-Eat: This type of fasting involves shunning calorie intake for 24 hours, once or twice a week. Only water, coffee, and other zero-calorie beverages are allowed during the fasting period.

The 5:2 diet: In this method of intermittent fasting, one has to consume only 500600 calories on two non-consecutive days of the week. In the remaining 5 days, they are allowed to eat normally.

Alternate day fasting: In alternate-day fasting, one has to fast every other day. This type of fasting is quite an extreme form of intermittent fasting and may not be suitable for beginners or for those suffering from chronic diseases.

Intermittent Fasting For Weight Loss: Is it Safe to do it, And How to go About it? – India.com

Posted: February 5, 2021 at 6:50 am

Growing up in India, you must be aware of the concept of fasting. Some people do it for religious purpose while other do it to detoxify. Nowadays, millennials and young adults are preferring to switch Intermittent fasting to lead a healthy and fit lifestyle. But how safe is it?

The most famous technique of losing weight among the Indian millennial and young adults is intermittent fasting, embraced in style by Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. Also Read - Benefits of Coconut Water: Best For Weight Loss And Other Health-Beauty Problems

Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. It doesnt specify which foods you should eat but rather when you should eat them. Also Read - How to Lose Weight by Eating Cheese; We Are Not Kidding!

It generally falls into two categories daily time-restricted feeding, which narrows eating times to 6-8 hours per day, and so-called 5:2 intermittent fasting, in which people limit themselves to one moderate-sized meal two days each week.

In India, its a normal religious belief on doing fasting. People do fast for their God and goddesses and follow some diet regime. And nowadays few types of diets are coming like intermittent fasting which is based on proven science and facts and some trials, Namita Nadar, Head Nutritionist, Fortis Hospital, Noida said.

Several studies have shown that intermittent fasting may improve blood sugar regulation, increase resistance to stress and suppress inflammation.

Intermittent fasting could be part of a healthy lifestyle, said Mark Mattson, Neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins Medicine in the US, who has studied the health impact of intermittent fasting for 25 years, and adopted it himself about 20 years ago.

Evidence is also mounting that intermittent fasting can modify risk factors associated with obesity and diabetes, Mattson added in a paper published in The New England Journal of Medicine.

According to experts, when we fast, there are several things that happen in our body on the cellular and molecular level.

Like, our body adjusts hormone levels to make stored body fat more accessible and our cells also initiate important repair processes and change the expression of genes. So, they suggest that intermittent fasting should be done under proper guidance.

Intermittent fasting helps in weight loss, it lowers blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol too. But, at the same time, intermittent fasting needs to be followed under the supervision of a nutritionist, suggests Ritika Samaddar, Chief Clinical Nutritionist, Regional Head, Dept of Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics, Max Healthcare, Delhi.Intermittent fasting shows an effective result and can easily fit into anybodys lifestyle.

It involves eating only during an eight-hour window and fasting for the remaining 16 hours.

One can repeat this cycle as frequently as they would like to. One can start with once or twice per week to every day, depending on the nutritional needs and personal preferences, the experts informed.

However, there are some side effects too like nausea, headaches, insomnia, hunger, and fatigue.

People should not try fasting if suffering from eating disorders like bulimia, binge eating disorder, pregnancy, lactation, type 1 diabetes, etc, said Dr. Vasundhara Singh from the Department of Dietetics, AIIMS, New Delhi.

One should be cautious and should keep following points while practicing fasting, like not eating too much too soon, not eating fewer calories (dont go below 1200 Kcal), being sedentary, and avoid aerated drinks and sodas.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advise people to lose no more than 12 pounds per week for healthy weight loss. A person can use a body weight planner to calculate how many calories they should eat and then use this information to select suitable meals from Factor 75.

Factor 75 enter their meals into apps such as MyFitnessPal and Carb Manager, which may make it easy for customers to track their nutrient intake.

In addition to low calorie meals, Factor 75 also offer low carb and keto meals. A short-term keto diet may be effective for weight loss, but the diet is very difficult to sustain in the long term. Scientists need to do more studies to confirm the long-term safety and effectiveness of the diet.

A 2019 study also notes that using a subscription service, such as Factor 75, may help people with busy schedules maintain a healthful and balanced diet.

Customers can also book a free 20-minute nutrition consultation with a registered dietitian to discuss which Factor 75 meals are right for them and create a nutrition plan. As these dietitians design the meals for Factor 75, they will be familiar with the brand and be able to recommend meals.

According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, registered dietitians and nutritionists can help people manage the following:

People may need more than the 20 minutes of support that Factor 75 offer, but the service could put them on the right track regarding what they should eat. People who want further information and help may wish to consult a dietitian privately.

Many meal delivery services online deliver either ready-made meals or meal kits. People can choose from the following options, among others:

Subscription meal services can be expensive, and there are other, more cost effective ways to maintain a healthful diet on a busy schedule.

For instance, people can use a range of free online resources, such as MyPlate, to plan healthful meals throughout the week ahead. They can then try to set aside time once a week to cook and then freeze or store batches of meals for future use.

Alternatively, if people find the nutritional consultation aspect of Factor 75 appealing, they can consult a registered dietitian for help designing a meal plan that suits them.

Factor 75 offer dietitian-approved meals that cater to a variety of dietary needs. They may appeal to someone who is health-conscious or wanting to lose weight. The convenience of ready-made meals may also suit someone with a busy lifestyle or limited cooking skills.

However, meal delivery services can be expensive. Instead, a person may prefer to plan meals weekly to make grocery store visits easier or cook in bulk and eat portions throughout the week.

Phil Mickelsons impressive body transformation as 50-year-old cuts trim figure thanks to fasting and – The Sun

Posted: February 5, 2021 at 6:50 am

PHIL MICKELSON looked remarkably trim in his recent appearance at the Saudi International - a far cry from his former self.

The 50-year-old cut a rather portly figure in the mid-2000s - as he has personally acknowledged - but has cleaned up his diet with remarkable results.

After piling on a few too many pounds, the American has put considerable effort into streamlining his physique in recent years.

A diagnosis for psoriatic arthritis in 2010 is partly credited with alerting Mickelson of his need to change.

And he is now fully invested in a six-day fasting routine, during which he subsists on only water and a special coffee blend.

The mixture features Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee, almond milk, cinnamon and coconut MCT oil.

Mickelson has become a huge advocate for 'Coffee For Wellness', which he talks up regularly on social media, after teaming up with performance consultant Dave Phillips.

Despite being at the top of his game in the mid-2000s, the golfer began to feel his body and his performances decline.

He previously stated: "I wasnt playing well and I wasnt feeling good about myself.

"I wasnt recovering as fast as I wanted to after the rounds and I was feeling tired and not focused towards the end of the round.

"I felt that the first step in getting that back was getting in better shape getting lighter, and what Ive noticed is that Ive recovered faster."

But the diet plan is not exclusively a weight loss technique, with Mickelson feeling the overwhelming 'wellness' benefits too.

He remarked in 2019: "I didn't fast to lose weight. I fasted to heal."

Mickelson is looking as good as he ever has out on course and he has acknowledged that such a change was vital if he was ever going to recover his best form.

In one Twitter video endorsing the plan, he said: "I havent felt good about myself and the way Ive been playing, and so I havent done anything or wanted to be in public.

"The last 10 days Ive done what I call a hard reset a change to try to make things better.

Fasting, if you look at it, its a hard reset, but the body gets rid of the bad stuff and covets the good stuff.

"I dont know if its going to help me play better or not, but Im willing to do whatever it takes to try to get my best back."

Also in 2019, he noted: "Im going to continue to make it a lifestyle change.

"Im going to continue to eat better, eat less, work out more, just stay committed to it.

"It wont be as drastic or quick, but I would anticipate over the next one to two years I would continue to tick down a little bit [in weight]."

Performance consultant Phillips has described the fasting routine as fairly common among athletes.

He said: "Its not a drastic as everybody thinks it is.

"In the performance space, there are a lot of athletes that do this kind of thing.

"Fasting, if you look at it, its a hard reset, but the body gets rid of the bad stuff and covets the good stuff.

"The body goes into flight or fight. Sometimes you need to do that."

Best Fat Burners: Top 5 Thermogenic Supplements of 2021 – Chron

Posted: February 5, 2021 at 6:50 am

When diet and exercise alone arent getting you closer to your body goals, its time to call for reinforcements.

If youre spending hours at the gym and following a healthy diet, yet are still not losing weight, a fat burner supplement can help jump-start your weight loss.

If youve searched Google for the best fat burner supplements, you already know that youve got a lot of choices. Each formula is unique, and depending on your age, gender, and fitness goals, some fat burner supplements are better for you than others.

Weve done the research on the best fat burner brands on the market to help you lose weight, including the latest and greatest for 2021.

There are a lot of weight loss supplement products to choose from, so weve compiled a list of the best fat burners, including our favorites for men and women. Weve dedicated a fat burner brand overview for each of these, so youll know exactly what youre getting for the best results.

LeanBean is the best fat burner for women. LeanBean takes a different approach to fat burning and weight loss. Instead of hopping you up on caffeine and synthetic chemicals to trick your body into temporarily losing weight, this thermogenic fat burner takes a three-pronged approach to help you lose weight naturally and develop healthy habits to keep it off.

By battling food cravings, boosting metabolism, and increasing your energy levels, LeanBeans formula gives you the tools you need to kick sugar to the curb and have the willpower and energy to hit the gym. Instead of feeling like youre on a never-ending hamster wheel, LeanBean gives you some extra help in the metabolism area, too.

Ingredients

LeanBean boasts a list of all natural ingredients to burn fat and tone your tummy, thighs, and butt.

Glucomannan: This ingredient is key in helping you control food cravings and calorie intake. It works to suppress your appetite by making you feel like your stomach is full (without bloating). The concentration of glucomannan in LeanBean is higher than in most other brands, coming in at three grams for a daily dose.

Choline: This nutrient is vital for several bodily functions, including memory, heart health, and metabolism. It can aid in weight loss by helping the body utilize and burn fat.

Vitamin B6 and B12: B vitamins are a natural energy source, helping you battle both mental and muscle fatigue to get closer to your weight loss goals. B vitamins also help regulate metabolism.

Chromium picolinate: A common ingredient in fat burner supplements, chromium picolinate is like willpower in a bottle. This compound keeps blood glucose levels in check, which can drastically reduce sugar cravings and promote fat loss.

Green coffee: Unroasted coffee beans are green, and theyre also better for you. These coffee beans are rich in antioxidants, and more than one study has shown that coffee bean extract can have a positive effect on your body composition. It also contains a small amount of caffeine.

Turmeric: Youll see this powerhouse ingredient in many fat burner supplements, but LeanBean uses just the right amount for female athletes.

Garcinia cambogia extract: Dr. Oz has been talking about this tropical fruit for more than a decade as a magical solution for any weight loss program. The bottom line is that it works by helping you feel fuller and more satisfied after eating.

Piperine: Black pepper extract has a couple of functions in the LeanBean formula. First, it helps the body absorb all the nutritional goodness of the supplement. Second, it acts as a natural thermogenic, heating the body from the inside out and boosting metabolism.

The recommended daily dose of LeanBean is two capsules three times per day for a total of six capsules daily. Each dose should be taken before a meal and with an eight-ounce glass of water to aid absorption.

LeanBean is an ideal fat burner supplement for women. And yes, were all equal, but that doesnt mean that men and women dont have some differences when it comes to a weight loss supplement. Sometimes it seems like all a guy has to do is cut out soda, and the pounds melt off while a woman has to do ten times more work to get the scale to budge an ounce.

Meticore is the best metabolism booster on the market. If youve been dieting and exercising like crazy, yet those stubborn pounds wont go away, the problem could be your core body temperature. It turns out that a low core body temperature keeps you from burning calories. Its estimated that the difference could be as much as 130 calories per day, which, according to one study, could account for a weight gain of over 13 pounds per year.

Now, imagine youre trying to shed body fat with this 130-calorie disadvantage every single day. You would have to work twice as hard to lose weight and still might not get the desired outcome! By addressing this low core body temperature, you can get to the root of your weight loss problem, resulting in a higher metabolism and a situation in which the weight melts off.

People who have tried Meticore products report that they not only lose weight without negative side effects, but that they also notice dramatic improvements in their skin and hair, as well as improved joint mobility.

Ingredients

Meticore is an all-natural, stimulant-free product thats made in the USA in a GMP-certified facility.

Turmeric root: This herb is the superfood of the 21st century, used to address everything from inflammation to cognitive decline. It helps raise core body temperature by absorbing excess water (goodbye, bloating!) and tightening tissues.

Ginger root: Like turmeric, ginger also has anti-inflammatory properties. Its also been shown in several studies to aid in weight loss and appetite suppression.

Moringa: This tree leaf can control blood sugar levels in the body, helping to fight food and sugar cravings naturally.

African mango: This well-known ingredient is extracted from seeds. Its believed to speed up metabolism, prevent fat build-up, and suppress the appetite for maximum fat loss.

Fucoxanthin: This ingredient is found in brown algae and seaweed. Its purported to naturally stimulate the bodys fat-burning capabilities. Though it can be consumed directly from the seaweed, theres debate about how absorbable it is as a food source, so taking it as a supplement is recommended.

Bitter orange: Though it might look like a delicious citrus fruit, bitter orange is more ornamental than edible. Its claim to fame occurred after the FDA banned ephedra, and dieters were desperate to find a substitute that could raise the bodys core temperature as ephedra was known to. Bitter orange has the same effect, but its all natural and has had impressive results in a weight-loss study.

Meticore is one of the easiest weight loss supplements to take. You dont have to remember to take multiple doses per day. Instead, one capsule a day is all you need, and the bottle includes a convenient one-month supply.

For people who have tried multiple times to lose weight and failed, Meticore could be the solution youve been looking for. Most of us could use a metabolic boost, especially when we get older or are dealing with stress.

PhenQ is our top choice for the best belly fat burner. Have you ever noticed that belly fat tends to hang around long after youve slimmed and toned your arms and legs?

Thanks to human biology, weve evolved to use the abdominal area as storage for fat when food is scarce. Unfortunately, it isnt easy to convince our bodies that a supermarket full of food is right around the corner, so it doesnt need to hang onto every morsel we swallow.

PhenQ helps dissolve belly fat by solving the top five problems most dieters face:

By addressing the five different saboteurs in the average persons weight loss journey, its no wonder that PhenQ made it onto our list of top weight loss supplements.

Ingredients

Capsimax powder: This proprietary blend combines capsicum, caffeine, piperine, and niacin. Together, these ingredients form a powerful thermogenic, which boosts the bodys internal heat production and increases the rate at which the body metabolizes fat. Capsicum alone can result in dramatic weight loss, and when combined with other compounds, PhenQ is a recipe for success.

Chromium picolinate: Food cravings can sabotage any diet, so PhenQ contains chromium picolinate to control blood sugar levels. This decreases the desire to eat sugar and carbs.

Caffeine: This natural energy source isnt just for your daily cup of joe. Coffee bean extract is also a natural thermogenic that can contribute to weight loss.

Nopal: Also known as cactus, this spiky plant contains a form of fiber that helps you maintain that feeling of fullness longer. It also contains an energy-producing amino acid and a natural system for preventing water retention. Because fat in the midsection can be the toughest to lose, it requires a powerhouse weight loss formula. If your tummy is flat and youre battling the bulge in other areas, you can skip PhenQ and try another diet supplement on our list. But, if youre trying to blast belly fat, PhenQ is one of the best weight loss pills out there.

Instant Knockout is the top thermogenic fat burning supplement for men. Developed specifically for pro boxers and MMA fighters, Instant Knockout lives up to its name of knocking out fat fast! Say goodbye to beer guts and man boobs as you wipe the floor with your fat.

You dont have to be an elite to benefit from Instant Knockouts formula, though. This fat burner is designed for anyone who wants to shed weight without feeling hungry or tired. Thanks to a powerful combination of ingredients that boost metabolic function, enhance energy levels, and crank up core body temperature, users can achieve their ideal weight, become more fit, and enhance their overall health without losing muscle mass.

Ingredients

Instant Knockout combines natural ingredients and powerful plant extracts to give you a pharmaceutical-grade fat burner without the side effects that come with a prescription.

Green tea extract: Green tea is an antioxidant-rich superfood that may stimulate your metabolism, according to the speculation of some scientists. Green tea has tons of other benefits, including improving brain function and even reducing bad breath.

Cayenne pepper seeds: A natural thermogenic without side effects (unless you have an allergy), these seeds increase your BMR (basal metabolic rate), allowing you to burn more calories without any energy expenditure or side effects. Burn fat while you sleep!

Glucomannan: A fiber from the konjac plant, glucomannan helps you feel full longer so you can avoid afternoon carb or sugar cravings that harm your diet.

Caffeine anhydrous: This stimulant supercharges your workout, increasing your energy and focus while reducing fatigue and pain by almost 50 percent.

Vitamin B6: B vitamins help the body in a variety of ways, including improving metabolic functions and fat oxidation. In particular, vitamin B6 also positively affects the bodys absorption of amino acids, allowing you to build more muscle.

Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 is known to be an energy and mood booster. It can also influence metabolism and appetite.

GTF Chromium: This multifunctional compound gives you natural energy while also preventing carbs from being stored in the body as fat.

Zinc: Zinc isnt just for fighting off the flu. This mineral also helps convert the food you eat into energy for enhanced athletic performance.

Piperine: This black pepper extract has thermogenic properties, heating the body and turning it into a fat incinerator.

Green coffee bean: Unlike roasted coffee, green coffee beans have almost no caffeine. Instead, this beans main benefit is that it slows down the absorption of fat from the food you eat, while simultaneously reducing sugar cravings.

This fat burning supplement is designed to work throughout the day, so it involves taking one capsule at each of four intervals: 8 a.m., 11 a.m., 2 p.m., and 5 p.m. By spreading out four doses of Instant Knockout instead of taking one concentrated dose, you can maintain your fat burning status for longer periods.

Instant Knockout addresses one of the biggest weight loss issues for guys: How do you lose weight without sacrificing muscle? This fat burner attacks fat stores while leaving your muscle gains intact. It does contain caffeine, including green tea, so make sure you dont take this one before bed.

HourGlass is the highest rated fat burning pill for suppressing appetite. Because men and women have different needs when it comes to losing weight, HourGlass Fit rounds out our list of best fat burners for weight loss. Its designed specifically for women, packed with nutrients that females need to get the most from a workout, whether its a leisurely walk or a grueling cross fit session.

HourGlass Fit works by addressing the three biggest obstacles to weight loss:

We all know that abs are made in the kitchen, and what we eat is the primary factor in weight loss success. HourGlass Fit contains the ideal blend of natural ingredients to help you beat food cravings and reduce the number of calories you eat, all while giving you an energy boost to make sure you get the most out of each workout.

Ingredients

HourGlass Fit weight loss pills contain no stimulants, so you dont have to worry about jitters, sleepless nights, or other strange side effects with this supplement. The formula is also vegan, which is a rarity in the fat burner supplement space.

Glucomannan: Youve seen this ingredient in some of the other fat burning products on our list, and theres a reason for that. This fiber works wonders in helping you feel full without causing unpleasant and unsightly bloating, according to study after study.

5-HTP: Hormones can sabotage weight loss by making you hungry or killing positive vibes. The supplement 5-HTP works as a precursor to serotonin, the happy hormone, giving you a sense of well-being while also controlling hunger.

Vitamin B2: You might recognize vitamin B2 as riboflavin. This vitamin is critical for daily function because it converts the food you eat into energy. Many women are deficient in this vitamin, so HourGlass Fit gives you a full daily dose.

Vitamin B6: This vitamin is necessary for processing carbohydrates and also allows the body to use fat as fuel for energy expenditure instead of storing it.

Vitamin B12: We tend to think of weight gain as an inevitable part of the aging process, but more than one study has shown that vitamin B12 can prevent fat accumulation as we age. Plus, B12 is also a natural energy booster without the need for caffeine.

Chromium: Another popular ingredient in fat burning supplements, chromium is key to reducing food cravings.

Zinc: Zinc is vital for overall health, and also has several weight loss properties, including a positive effect on metabolism.

Capsimiax: This proprietary blend is a powerful thermogenic that increases your core temperature without causing side effects like sweating. Its also a natural appetite suppressant.

Bioperine: Another proprietary ingredient, bioperine is a more bioavailable form of piperine, which is a black pepper extract that aids in the absorption of other supplement ingredients while also acting as a thermogenic.

For maximum effectiveness, HourGlass Fit should be taken four times daily (one capsule per serving). This dosing gives you constant support, setting you up for fat burning success.

The bottom line is that this fat burner is designed for women who struggle with food cravings. The makers of this formula understand that no matter how hard you work out, if your appetite is out of control, youll never shed those unwanted pounds. So, if you find that food cravings and hunger are the biggest obstacles in your weight loss journey, HourGlass Fit is for you.

When combined with a healthy diet and exercise, a fat burning supplement helps you lose weight faster by getting you off a dreaded plateau. Depending on the fat burner brand, there are different approaches, but theyll usually do one, some, or all of the following to help you lose pounds:

Some thermogenic fat burners do contain caffeine, either in the form of coffee bean extract or green tea, so if you're worried about side effects from caffeine, stick with a caffeine-free supplement.

As you compare different brands of fat burners and review all the research, it can be tough to distinguish between supplements. Weve included some helpful tips to help you choose a formula thats right for you and your diet.

Clinically-dosed ingredients

Your body is a temple, and what you put inside it matters. Not only that, but you want a product that actually works. Otherwise, youre just throwing your money away.

Make sure you read the label carefully to look for ingredients that arent right for your body, including artificial ingredients. The fat burners on our list all have high-quality, natural ingredients, but the dosages and formulas do vary.

Stimulant or non-stimulant

Many fat burners contain stimulants like caffeine. Whether you want a stimulant in your fat burner is a matter of preference, but you should consider whether youre sensitive to caffeine. Also, if youre a habitual coffee drinker or you already take a green tea extract supplement, or if you take a medication that is a stimulant, its not going to be ideal for you to combine coffee with a fat burner that contains a stimulant. Check the label for any warnings about this combination, and check with your doctor if you are already taking a stimulant-containing medication.

Price

The price of fat burners varies depending on the ingredients and the size of the bottle. You cant necessarily conclude that a bottle with 120 capsules is a better deal than one with 30 capsules, because some formulas have multi-capsule doses while others can be taken once daily.

Customer reviews

Customer reviews can help give you context about who the product is right for and what kinds of results you can expect. Some customer testimonials are sponsored or paid for, so make sure you look for those disclaimers.

Money-back guarantee

Any reputable company will offer a money-back guarantee, though its terms and time frame may vary. Keep in mind that fat burners take a while to work, and you cant expect results overnight. However, most brands will offer either a 30-, 60-, or 90-day money-back guarantee.

Natural fat burners have ingredients that help your body function, which results in a lot of health benefits, not just weight loss!

Increased energy

Though many fat burners contain stimulants like caffeine, even stimulant-free fat burners can increase energy. Thats because theyre packed with other energy-enhancing nutrients, including B vitamins.

Weight loss

Most people turn to fat burners to lose weight, and the brands on our list dont disappoint. The way weight loss occurs depends on the formula, but when you combine the right burn supplement with regular exercise and a healthy diet, you can expect to lose weight with a fat burner.

Suppressed appetite

Excess calories are the leading cause of weight gain, so fat burners tend to have powerful appetite suppressants to keep hunger at bay. You dont need to seek professional medical advice to know that eating fewer calories leads to weight loss and a decrease in body fat with no unwanted side effects.

Boost in metabolism
