Weight loss story: I replaced regular roti and parantha with dal rotis and lost 20 kilos – Times of India

Posted: December 17, 2020 at 11:52 pm

After I saw the drop of the first kilos, I felt motivated to keep working and never looked back.

How do you ensure you dont lose focus?

Rather than giving into my hunger pangs, I eat more mindfully. I value a food's nutrition count and content rather than just the taste. This way, I am more conscious of what goes into my mouth and this keeps me super focussed. Even my cheat day meals are moderated and not heavy. I have made it a goal to stay healthy for life, and plan to continue to do so, while enjoying my life.

My message is, one need to not cut out on your indulgences- just moderate, and eat 1/4th portion to satisfy the craving.

Whats the most difficult part of being overweight? Being overweight is an emotionally draining and depressive phase for a person. Theres a point when you feel you cannot lose weight, no matter how hard you try. That feels demotivating.

Since I am also a mother, I had to work around to manage my schedule, workouts with my 4-year-olds.

What shape do you see yourself 10 years down the line? Perfectly slim, fit and trimmed.

What are the lifestyle changes you made?

-Eating healthy food

-Replacing sugar with jaggery

-Working out for 6 days a week at home

-Being more conscious of my diet and lifestyle.

What was the lowest point for you? It has to be the point when I realized none of my old clothes fit me, and slowly, I lost out on all confidence. I stopped going out even for a walk thinking that I look ugly and fat. I used to overthink that my husband would leave me because of my appearance.

There was also a point when I saw no difference in weight, even after exercising. I still continued, and in a matter of weeks, saw a drastic drop.

Choreographer Ganesh Acharya reveals he lost 98 kgs; a look at the stars weight loss journey – The Indian Express

Posted: December 17, 2020 at 11:52 pm

By: Lifestyle Desk | New Delhi | Updated: December 18, 2020 8:55:00 amGanesh Acharya's weight loss journey is goals; Watch. (Source: Ganesh Acharya/Instagram; designed by Gargi Singh)

Celebrities have often inspired us with their fitness routines and incredible stories of weight loss, including Ram Kapoor and Adnan Sami. And now, choreographer Ganesh Acharya, who earlier weighed close to 200kgs, recently revealed on The Kapil Sharma Show that he has lost 98 kilos.

Take a look at a snippet from the show shared by the channel on Instagram.

The ace choreographer, who trains with trainer Ajay Naidu, has shown that hard work and commitment can help achieve ones goal.

Reportedly, it was while working on a song from the movie Housefull 3 that he felt an impact on his knee and realised, this is too much.

However, while he really wanted to work out and show a different version of himself, according to various reports, the first two months were challenging for him. It took me 15 days to learn how to float. Slowly, my trainer Ajay Naidu made me do crunches in water. Now, I can execute 11 exercises (like scissors and lateral raises etc.) in succession over a 75-minute routine. Its exhausting, Acharya was quoted as saying by Times of India. In a span of 1.5 years, he has managed to lose 85 kilos (in 2017).

The choreographer now regularly shares pictures and videos of his intensive workout routines on Instagram.

The National Award winner for Best Choreography also mentioned that weight loss has helped him feel a difference. I danced even when I had so much weight, but the difference between then and now is that the energy in my dance has doubled. Not only this, even size label of my clothes has moved from 7 XL to L, he said in the same interview.

Isnt that inspiring?

How to lose weight gained during the 2020 pandemic: Eat healthy, exercise more, experts say – PhillyVoice.com

Posted: December 17, 2020 at 11:50 pm

It's been hard to stay active during the coronavirus pandemic.Many people spent the spring lockdown binge watching TV shows, baking bread or sitting on the couch all day.

Naturally, 71 million Americans have gained weight during the pandemic and, as a result, 52% say they feel down about they way they look, according to astudy commissioned by the biotechnology company Gelesis.

"While our survey has found Americans have been motivated to develop healthier habits amidst the pandemic, it has also brought to light how many Americans who want to lose weight continue to struggle," Elaine Chiquette, Gelesis chief scientific officer, said in a press release.

Geles surveyed 1,012 adults online and used U.S. Census data to ensure the demographics of those participants represented the population. The poll had a margin of error of 3.1 points.

While there are limitations to every survey, John Morton, medical director of bariatric surgery at Yale New Haven Health System, said he's seen patients in telehealth appointments who've gained anywhere from five to 30 pounds in quarantine.

"Anecdotally, we are definitely seeing weight gain," Morton told Yale Medicine. "You can put on 30 pounds really quickly you can do it in three months."

A global study from researchers at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana showed a decline in healthy behaviors during the pandemic were correlated with widespread lockdowns regardless of geography.

"Individuals with obesity were impacted the most and that's what we were afraid of," Emily Flanagan, author of the study, toldThe New York Times. "They not only started off with higher anxiety levels before the pandemic, but they also had the largest increase in anxiety levels throughout the pandemic."

The Gelesis researchers found people became overwhelmingly sedentary, reduced the intensity of their workouts and caved to their food cravings during lockdown.

Women were more likely to report weight gain during the pandemic. Sixty percent of women said they felt self conscious of their appearance.

Anxiety, stress and lack of motivation were common effects of the pandemic, too. Fifty percent of respondents said they lacked motivation, 33% were more anxious and 41% were more stressed.

Yale Medicine said COVID-19 has created a perfect storm of stress and uncertainty that can lead to weight gain.

"Life has been disrupted in a major way," said Artur Viana, clinical director of the Yale Metabolic Health and Weight Loss Program. He cited gym closures, heightened stress, postponed checkups and physicals among the contributing factors.

"We know that obesity's causes are multifactorial and that stress is involved," Viana said. "Not only are there organic body changes, but we turn to food as a way to cope with stress."

The survey also found 40 million Americans would give up social media for the rest of the year if it meant losing 10 pounds but only 17% of those surveyed were willing to part with TV streaming services like Netflix or Hulu.

"In a year when weve all already given up so much, our data shows that people would give up even more if it meant being able to lose weight by the end of the year and they remain hopeful about losing weight and feeling healthy in 2021," Chiquette said.

Over half of those surveyed said that maintaining a healthy lifestyle under quarantine was a challenge, and that they needed more support to lose weight. Their top challenges included the cost of healthy food, limited time to exercise or cook healthy meals and a lack of long-term motivation.

So how do you lose the weight?

One pound of fat is the equivalent of 3,500 calories.The key to shedding weight is cutting 500 calories from your diet every day through exercise and reducing calorie intake, Kathleen Zelman, a registered dietician, wrote in a WebMD story. Following that protocol, you could lose up to a pound a week.

Eating more produce and less processed foods is an important part of weight loss, she said. People should also avoid sugary beverages that contain excess calories.

Maintaining a daily routine, planning meals and dressing up for work even if you work from home can help you stay on track with your fitness goals, Morton and Viana, of Yale, said. Staying in your sweat pants all day may hide any gradual weight gain.

Experts say to never skip the most important meal of the day. Studies show that people who eat breakfast every day have lower body mass indexes than people who skip it, Zelman noted.

Time spent in shutdown can be used to try new, healthy recipes that have whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lean meats.

"When you are eating foods you like, you can learn to get a taste of fullness from taste as opposed to only the quantity of food," Morton said.

Exercising regularly helps keep off the weight after you lose it, Viana said, and prioritizing sleep can help shed pounds. Studies show that obesity is linked to adults who don't get enough sleep each night. Adults should aim for at least seven to eight hours a night.

The World Health Organization recommends adults get at least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate exercise to vigorous exercise per week. Experts suggest finding creative ways to get it during the pandemic: create a makeshift gym, hold family yoga sessions or use household cleaning as a way to increase daily steps.

Six reasons why you are not losing weight – The Standard

Posted: December 17, 2020 at 11:50 pm

After the initial burst of losing weight consistently you have hit a plateau (Shutterstock)

You may have been on a weight loss journey for a while but after the initial burst of losing weight consistently you have hit a plateau. There could be many reasons for this but here are some of the most common:

1.Eating too much

When you initially start losing weight, doing simple things like cutting out sugar or avoiding carbs in the evening will cause enough of a calorie deficit for weight to begin to drop off naturally.

However, once your weight begins to drop, your body will need less and less calories to function so if you are not keeping track of your calorie intake, you will eventually get to the point where you are eating too many calories daily for weight loss.

2.Lack of consistency

While you may be eating healthily and exercising, if you are not being consistent then this will affect your weight loss long term.

The odd treat or cheat day is fine but if these treats become regular or you are constantly falling off the exercise wagon then you will not see the results.

3.Too much of a good thing

Foods like fruits, nuts, olive oil, whole grain foods and lean meats are healthy foods that we should consume on a regular basis.

However, these foods are still calorific, and if we are eating too much of them then our calories can quickly add up. This is particularly the case with calorie dense foods like avocados and nuts.

Eating more than half an avocado or a handful of nuts can quickly add several hundred calories per serving to your day.

4.Starving yourself

Conversely, not eating enough food can also cause your weight loss to stall. With a large reduction in quantity of food, you will initially see a corelating drop in weight.

However, consistently eating too little will slow down your metabolism, causing your body to hold on to fat reserves and instead begin to burn muscle mass.

This will in turn slow down your weight loss further, leading you to eat unsustainably low amounts of food to try and maintain your momentum.

5.Liquid calories

You may think the odd glass of wine, fruit juice or soda will not hurt but these liquids have substantial amounts of calories, most of which are considered empty.

Meaning, they have little nutritional value and they do not leave you satiated so you will still need to eat on top of the calories you have drunk.

Liquid calories can quickly add up over the course of the week so it is safer to stick to water and herbal teas.

6.Not lifting weights

You may be doing a lot of cardio to lose weight, which is good for burning calories and improving heart health.

However, if you want to keep burning calories while at rest, then you need to increase your muscle mass and you can only do this by lifting weights.

The reason men lose weight faster than women is because they naturally have more muscle, so get in the gym and get lifting!

To Your Good Health, Is slow the best speed for fatty liver weight loss? – Watertown Daily Times

Posted: December 17, 2020 at 11:50 pm

Dear Dr. Roach: I have had fatty liver for the past 10 years. To reverse it, I am trying to lose weight. Now I am 116 kilograms. I have heard that if someone has fatty liver and wants to lose weight, they should not lose more than 1.5 kg per week. This week, I lost 3 kg. What is your advice? A.A.

Answer: The advice against too much weight loss too quickly was based on an observation that some people rebounded their weight after losing it. Newer studies have not confirmed that. In fact, people with large amounts of weight loss (more than 2 kg in the first four weeks) have been shown to have a better chance of keeping the weight off. If you are losing weight due to healthier diet and exercise, I would advise continuing those behaviors and not worrying about losing too much too quickly.

Any kind of weight loss can temporarily increase the risk of gallstones. Having some sources of healthy fat in the diet (such as nuts or avocados) will decrease this risk.

Early on in the first few weeks of weight loss, especially in people using a higher fat diet, much of the apparent weight loss is by loss of water associated with glycogen stores.

Dear Dr. Roach: What is an epiretinal membrane? My doctor says I have this but it is not bad enough to be treated. I am 86 years old, and my vision is blurry. How would this be treated? T.V.

Answer: An epiretinal membrane, also called a macular pucker, is a thin layer that forms over the retina at the back of the eye. It is semi-translucent, and as such can cause loss of vision or visual distortion. They are common and occur more frequently in older individuals. Most of the time, they do not require treatment. They can form for no particular reason, and these are usually asymptomatic. However, an epiretinal membrane can form after certain eye conditions, especially retinal detachment. Its possible for it to attach to and pull the retina, causing distortions in the vision. It may also decrease vision when it is thicker and interfering with the function of the retina.

The only treatment is surgery. The decision to perform surgery is made by how much the vision is affected. Although surgery is relatively safe and usually effective, there are possible complications. Most eye doctors do not rush to surgery, except in less-common cases where there is swelling in the most critical part of the retina (called the macula) for central vision. People whose epiretinal membrane gets worse, or who have the kind that can pull the retina out of shape, may also require surgery.

Dr. Roach writes: A recent column on pneumonia vaccines contained an error: I said that the 13-valent conjugate vaccine, Prevnar, was a 2-dose series. It is a single dose. Many people get both the 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine, Pneumovax, as well as the 13-valent Prevnar, but my column misstated this. I appreciate my sharp-eyed colleagues who wrote in to correct this.

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

Former Denver Broncos player hiking with random Coloradans to lose weight – Yahoo News

Posted: December 17, 2020 at 11:50 pm

National Review

Both Republican U.S. Senate candidates in Georgia hold slight leads over their Democratic opponents in the January runoff election races, which will determine which party controls the chamber for at least the next two years, according to new polling out of Emerson College.The poll, released Wednesday, found Republicans Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue with nearly identical advantages, with each receiving support from 51 percent of respondents, compared to 48 percent for Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff. The races are essentially tied, because the advantages in both races fall within the polls 3.9 percent margin of error.The Democrats need to win both races to win control of the Senate. If both Warnock and Ossoff win, there would be a 50-50 split, with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris serving as the tie-breaker.The poll found little crossover support, meaning few voters will vote for a Republican in one race and a Democrat in the other.Which suggests one party should win both seats, Spencer Kimball, Emersons polling director, said in a prepared statement.The Democrats held large leads over the Republicans among younger voters and urban voters, while the Republicans were stronger with older and rural voters, and voters with a high school degree or less. The poll found Loeffler and Perdue with slight leads in the suburbs, with 52 percent support compared to 47 percent for Warnock and Ossoff.Thirty-one percent of poll respondents named the economy as their top issue, followed by COVID-19 response (24 percent), healthcare (15 percent) and social justice (12 percent).Another poll released earlier this week showed Loeffler and Perdue both holding slight 49 percent to 48 percent advantages over the Democrats.The recent polling shows support for the Republicans climbing. In early December, a poll by SurveyUSA found Warnock with a 52 percent to 45 percent lead over Loeffler, and Ossoff with a narrower 50 percent to 48 percent advantage.

Heres why you should drink plenty of carrot juice this winter – Geo News

Posted: December 17, 2020 at 11:50 pm

The winter season is underway and with the biting cold, health experts call upon you to drink some of that yummy carrot juice.

Eating carrot improves the eyesight because it is full of vitamin A, which results in a better eyesight for the one who consumes it.

This red-coloured bright vegetable can be included in various ways in your food, from salads and curries to just grabbing one out of your fridge and munching on it.

This winter, you should quit unhealthy drinks as well as beverages and strive for countless benefits by including carrot juice in your diet.

Carrot juice is a common drink that is used in winters as it is full of various benefits and necessary food ingredients. You can add other vegetables and fruits to enhance their overall value too.

Carrot juice is loaded with vitamin A and high in vitamins C and K. It also contains plant compounds called carotenoids, which act as antioxidants in your body.

Benefits of carrot juice

The carrot juice is full of vitamin A, which is necessary for the health of your eyes. Carrot juice contains high amounts of nutrients which play a prominent role in nourishing your eyes.

Can improve blood sugar control

Drinking small amounts of carrot juice may help lower blood sugar levels but the trick is to use it in small doses, not large ones.

Carrot juice has lower fibre than whole carrots. This means that the lower fiber content results in its sugars being absorbed more quickly. Experts advise that drinking too much may spike your blood sugar levels.

The nutrients in carrot juice may be particularly beneficial for skin health since the vitamin C in it acts as an antioxidant to protect your skin from free radical damage.

Carrot juice may help reduce risk factors for heart disease as its antioxidant compounds benefit the heart.

The potassium and antioxidants in carrot juice may help lower blood pressure and decrease risk factors for heart disease.

Low in calories and full of fibre, carrots are one superfood for weight loss. Carrot juice helps in bile secretion which helps to burn fat and thus aids weight loss.
