The keto diet is a popular way to lose weight and improve health. But not everyone loses weight on keto, and some stop losing weight after a few months.

If you aren't meeting your weight goals on the ketogenic diet, you may need to make some adjustments or talk with a registered dietitian. Here are some reasons why you might not be losing weight on keto.

You can check to see if you are really in ketosis using at-home urine test strips. These strips detect ketones, substances your liver creates when processing fat.

Losing weight on the keto diet is like losing weight on any diet you need to burn more calories in the day than you consume.

Some foods to eat on keto that will help you feel full are:

However, if you're still having trouble controlling your caloric intake, here are some tips:

Numerous studies indicate a strong link between stress and obesity. Part of the reason could be related to the fact that stress increases levels of the stress hormone cortisol in your body, which leads to enhanced appetite and potentially overeating and subsequent weight gain.

Some simple ways to relieve stress include:

Even if you are keeping your metabolism up, your weight loss may still slow down over time. As you cut calories and lose weight, your body will adapt to the change and start needing fewer calories to keep itself going, says Keatley. In other words, people tend to hit a weight loss plateau.

There are certain medical conditions that are associated with weight gain, making it exceptionally difficult to lose weight. Many of these conditions are hormonal disorders like Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), diabetes, Cushing's syndrome, and hypothyroidism.

Protein is never a key exercise fuel, but its critical for other reasons. During most exercise, protein contributes less than 5 percent of the total energy, although it may rise to 10 to 15 percent during a prolonged event like a marathon or Ironman triathlon. Taking in enough dietary protein is important because dietary protein allows your muscles to be repaired after exercise and promotes the synthesis of hormones, enzymes, and other body tissues formed from amino acids, the building blocks of protein.

You should consume at least 12 to 35 percent of your daily calories as protein. For most people this means taking in at least 60 grams of protein daily.

About half of the 20 amino acids are considered essential in your diet, meaning that you must consume them or your body will suffer from protein malnutrition, which causes the breakdown of muscles and organs. Essential amino acids are found in meats, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, and soy products; all plant-based foods besides soy are lacking one or more essential ones, but taking in combinations of plant sources (like rice and beans) can supply what you need.

Your body can make the rest of the amino acids itself (they are the nonessential ones). But you need to have enough protein in your diet overall to synthesize body proteins after workouts, which is a critical time for increases in strength, aerobic capacity, or muscle size.

Because protein is important to overall health but isnt a major exercise fuel, you do need to worry about consuming enough, although it doesnt have to happen right before or during an activity. Youll get most effective restoration of liver glycogen if you keep your blood glucose levels in tight control after exercise. Consuming a small amount of protein along with carbohydrate (in a ratio of 1:4, or one gram of protein to every four grams of carbohydrate) after an activity may help you repair your muscles and get stronger more quickly.

Typically, an ounce of chicken, cheese, or meat has about 7 grams of protein.

Taking in more protein and slightly less carbohydrate after exercise can help keep your blood glucose more stable over time because protein takes three to four hours to be fully digested, and some protein is converted into blood glucose. You can eat protein strategically to prevent later-onset hypoglycemia, which insulin users are more likely to get. Have some in your bedtime snack (along with fat and carbohydrate) to prevent nighttime lows after a day of strenuous or prolonged activity, if you use insulin.

Taking in some protein along with carbohydrate right after hard or long workouts may help your body replenish its glycogen stores more effectively. Though anyone who is getting olderand that includes all of uscan benefit from taking in enough protein, supplements are usually not the optimal way to get enough. Let me explain why.

As you get older, your body may need more protein compared to when you were younger to form, maintain, and repair muscles and other body structures. Anyone who is doing regular exercise training also needs more protein to repair and build muscle, but you can usually get this amount (and more) when youre eating a balanced meal plan with adequate calories. To figure out how much you need, find the category that fits your age and training, and multiply your body weight (in pounds or kilograms) by the grams found in the corresponding table column.

TABLE Recommended Protein Intake by Training Status and Age

Per Pound Body Weight Per Kilogram Body Weight

Adults 19 to 50 years (inactive) 0.36 grams 0.8 grams

Adults over 50 years (inactive) 0.5 grams 1.1 grams

Endurance training 0.550.64 grams 1.21.4 grams

Strength training 0.680.77 grams 1.51.7 grams

Calorie deprived (diets) 0.730.82 grams 1.61.8 grams

The biggest myth about amino acid supplements, and protein in general, is that you must load up on them to gain muscle. Thats just not true. The protein requirement for strength-training athletes may be about twice as high as normal, but most people in the United States already consume more than these higher amounts of protein in their daily diets.

To put it in perspective, to gain one pound of muscle mass a week (a realistic maximum), a strength-training athlete needs no more than 14 extra grams of quality protein per day. You can easily get this amount from these sources:

About two 8-ounce glasses of milk

2 ounces of lean meat, chicken, fish, or cheese (which isnt much)

Slightly more than 2 eggs (only the whites contain protein)

Adequate intake of protein also helps to maintain lean body mass when you lose weight on a diet and can help you gain more muscle mass from exercise training.

We asked the people vying for our votes how theyre keeping their minds sharp and bodies fuelled for the final stretch of the campaign marathon.

What New Zealands political party leaders eat isnt usually something many of us give much thought to, but come election time, when theyre out and about winning votes, politicians kai is in the public eye.

Food is political, as we witnessed during Wednesdays Newshub leaders debate, when moderator Paddy Gower asked Jacinda Ardern and Judith Collins how often they eat meat. Both said twice a week, then demurred when Gower clarified that fish counts as meat. When asked whether they thought New Zealanders should eat less meat for the good of the planet, both leaders answers Arderns eat New Zealand meat! and Collins Im not a communist! showed how politically sensitive the issue is.

Tuckers not always as controversial, of course sometimes food simply provides a way for politicians to show theyre ordinary people and meet their constituents. Collins visited a farmers market in Napier yesterday, telling supporters via a Facebook video that she bought sourdough, coffee, cheese and olive oil. The Herald was there too, and reported that the women running the dumpling food truck were disappointed Collins wasnt a customer, so the National leader had to explain she would have indulged if it werent for the threat of a picture of her eating ending up in the press.

Who can blame her, really, when you think of the photos of former National prime minister John Key tucking in that will exist forever on the internet and burnished into our brains.

But of course food is also just fuel, and it must be a bit rough at times keeping crazy hours as you flit from town to town, event to event, and you cant even sample a dumpling without fear of an unflattering snap ending up in the media. Its enough to make anyone hangry.

On that note, we asked the leaders of Labour, National, Act, the Green Party and NZ First about their campaign diets. We received answers from all but Winston Peters, who we can only presume subsists on the odd cheeky dart and an occasional sip of apple juice.

My campaign diet is terrible. I go from being really earnest about having a healthy breakfast, to the campaign period where I just have coffee and a muesli bar (and when I say muesli bar, I mean hash brown). I carry food in my bag. None of it especially appealing, which is why I probably eat things like toasted sandwiches and pies more during a campaign than usual I skip meals, end up hungry, and go for fast comfort food. I hope my mother doesnt read this (shes often the reason I have healthy snacks in my bag).

Kieran McAnulty [Wairarapa Labour list MP] almost lost his place in caucus when he neglected to stop at my favourite bakery in his electorate. Im still miffed. But I recently visited The Golden Kiwi, the fish and chip shop in Morrinsville I worked at from when I was 14 years old until I left school, every single Friday night. They have a small restaurant. I had fish, chips, sausage, and a token salad. My old bosses Carol and Grant still run the show, and it was as good as I remember.

Other than drinking a lot of tea and water, my diet hasnt changed at all. Im trying to eat healthily during the campaign, although occasionally I do indulge in a no-sugar cola and have even had a kombucha.

My daily diet is sometimes terrible, and has included a dinner of a day-old muffin from a dairy because I had a very small window after a late night event to eat anything before I had to get to sleep for a 5.30am taxi. I do try to at least start off right, with my own homemade smoothie of greens and fruit and egg, but I dont always get to pop that in, especially when travelling. I think in short, my campaign diet has room to improve. A petrol station pie is sadly a menu regular. The nights that Im with whnau are normally the best people who make food for me with aroha and care are the strongest part of campaign resilience. RJs raspberry chocolate twists are also a campaign trail winner for me, and New Plymouth Airport caf saved my puku rumbles recently after hopping off a plane one morning without having had breakfast and about to head out on a full day.

There is no pattern to my campaign diet on any given day Ill eat a healthy lunch prepared for me by Green Party volunteers between events, fish and chips at a pub round the corner from the next meet-the-candidates evening, anything in between, or nothing at all. I stopped by the Clareville Bakery outside of Carterton recently and had a steak and red wine pie. It was exceptional. But everything in the cabinet looked exceptional too. If I lived anywhere near there Id die a death-by-baked-goods. And be happy about it.

My campaign diets pretty bad Im down to 70kg. The two burgers Wisconsin and Fuel are fuelling my campaign. I regard that as a form of health food, given the quality of the vegetation on it. You get some really fresh lettuce on some of those burgers. And a lot of Red Bull.

The Indian film and modelling industry has quite a reputation, both good and bad, with people sharing experiences of lifelong friendships and burnt bridges that made, or ended their careers. However, over the past few months, over thirty models who worked with Mumbai-based talent agency TFM/360 India, owned by designer Ashish N Soni, have alleged that the company owes them lakhs of rupees (more than Rs 70 lakhs) in unpaid dues for shows, events and shoots that in some cases took place years ago and that the company has no intention to pay.

The incident was first brought to light when several models took to their social media handles and shared their experiences working with TFM, sharing how they hadnt been paid for months on end, some have even claimed they were threatened with gundas by upper management when they said theyd make the issue public. The incident was picked up by self-appointed Instagram-based fashion industry watchdog, Diet Sabya, which shared a post which revealed another side of the glamourous modelling industry. The post elaborated how TFM had deprived its talent of their rightful payment since 2018, often discrediting the model by claiming breach of contract, misbehaviour as a cause of non-payment.

The post read, Over the last couple of months, weve gone back-and-forth between 20+ creatives (models, make-up artists etc) and their talent agency, TFM. Mumbai-based agency, TFM allegedly owes them lakhs of rupees in unpaid dues. Multiple rounds of clarifications later the fact remains unchanged: Money is still owed! The bitter industry truth is that modelling/talent agencies are notorious for withholding money and TFM has been pulling this stunt since 2018 (shocking!). The models have finally had it and are no longer willing to wait for their own money. TFM agents did give us multiple reasons/explanations for the delay citing Covid economy, breach of contract, models misbehaving etc etc. Most of these explanations seem to be just excuses to buy time. Moral of the story? Its a messy, and incredibly heartbreaking situation for these creatives, who are dependent on agencies for their livelihood. Discuss!!

Since then, several models came forward with similar stories, and Diet Sabya has also shared videos of models that have worked with TFM and are still awaiting payment. While Diet Sabya has always been a page that calls out copycats and gandi copies, over the past few months the page has racked up a new reputation for calling out companies, brands and employers for the mistreatment of employees, as well other social issues like colourism. Several models, in their testimonies, shared that given that they had their own bills and werent getting paid, they had to end their contract with the agency, which states that they cannot work with another agency during the three months after their contract with TFM is terminated, however, the contract allows them to work independently.

Diet Sabya, models get blocked by Ashish Soni, TFM on Instagram

In an interview with MidDay, model Arlette Grao, who was at TFM from 2016 to 2018, claimed that the company owes over Rs 70 lakh to the models, and that she didnt receive any payment for all the assignments she did during her time there, which racks up to Rs 8 lakhs. I have bank statements to support this. She went on to add that she ended up quitting the agency and after the contractual cooling-off period (three months) was complete, she began to freelance, Once I started freelancing, I realised there are multiple models whose payments are stuck with the company. Arlette mentioned that make-up artist Donald Simrock who worked for Lakme Fashion Week two years ago is waiting on a payment, which according to Diet Sabyas post comes up to Rs 9 lakhs. The model also added that in her case TFM cited breach of contract as the reason for non-payment of dues, When I havent breached any clause. They are putting similar false allegations on my other colleagues.

Another model, Shivani Bafna, who also worked with TFM, took to her YouTube channel and shared her experience working with TFM. She spoke of her time at the agency in 2018, and having to wait on payments for months in 2018, she added that she clarified with her manager as well as one of the owners Rishy Bartariya, that she needed to be paid. After months of polite following up and not getting anything except excuses, Shivani got exasperated and decided to share her experience with other models via a group text on WhatsApp. This however, did not sit well with Rishu, who allegedly threatened Shivani saying that if she puts anything on social media, or speaks up she would send gundas after her. They even discredited everything Shivani said by saying she had breached her contract which is why she wasnt paid. However, after filing a lawsuit, and a lot more persistence, Shivani got her payment of Rs 5 lakhs.

Ashish Soni and TFMs side of the story

There are several such instances, and many models have already filed police complaints and sent legal notices to the agency, or are planning to. A written statement mailed to LiveWire by TFM stated, Ashish Soni, on behalf of TFM/360 India, reassures everyone that TFM/360 India shall clear its dues as soon as possible as has also been done in the past.

MidDay reached out to Soni, who said that the firm has been running in losses since it was set up five years ago, on account of which the foreign partner, who was the parent company, decided to pull out leaving Soni, a 40% investor in TFM, struggling to keep the company afloat. He added, They wanted to shut it down. I took on their debt and ensured that the models income stays afloat. It was a liability and I have been running it for two years. Company records that are public will tell you that I havent drawn a single salary from the company. I hope to find an investor with deeper pockets for this agency. Till March, we had a regular cash flow but the business has been affected due to COVID. People are not in a position to pay up. To malign someone(for that), is out of line. I am willing to open this up for audit and if to prove my integrity, if I have to take a loan, I will do so.

According to the written statement by TFM to Livewire, TFM/360 India has paid Rs 2.65 crore to several models in payments. The statement added that when the foreign partner pulled out TFM tried to recover as much as it could, but due to the fact that TFM/360 India was owed a great deal of money and such money was not recovered within a considerable amount of time, the financial and economic health of the company worsened. The statement also added that TFMs management was never in Ashish Sonis purview and that there were other people running the show, and in some instances clients also failed to pay the company on time. The statement also went on to say that now Soni is taking steps to mitigate the damage caused by earlier mismanagement.

Over 30 models accuse TFM talent agency of non-payment of dues racking up to almost Rs 1 crore. Heres... - Hindustan Times

Watching the first presidential debate, many things stood out. Among them, one crucial but still largely overlooked issue was the absence of any meaningful questions or discussion on one of the most important challenges and opportunities facing our nation.

As cardiologists from Michigan and Massachusetts who study how policy can be leveraged to save lives, we have a message for the candidates and the debate moderators: its time to fix food.

At current rates, COVID-19 will claim a quarter of a million American lives by Election Day. The current national plan to address the virus is heavily focused on creating a vaccine: $12.6 billion committed to-date. We need a vaccine. Yet, at the same time, comparable focus should be given to treatment to reduce the severity of COVID-19 infections. Unfortunately, treatment has received relatively little national emphasis or investment. For our country to successfully conquer COVID-19, the current nominees, and the next president, must make this a top priority. Figuring out how to leverage healthier eating tops the list.

The powerful linkages between diet-related poor metabolic health and how sick a person becomes when infected by COVID-19 are now well documented but widely underappreciated. A 35-year old infected with COVID-19 who also has obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, or a handful of other less common conditions, has the samerisk of hospitalizationas a75-year oldinfected with COVID-19 who has none of those comorbidities. These diet-driven metabolic conditions are a top risk for critical illness with COVID-19; each independently increases risk of severe illness about two-fold. And these risks are cumulative:a person with diabetes, high blood pressureandobesity would be expected to have about aneight-foldhigher risk of hospitalization.

What if we start reversing these conditions in the U.S.? Can you imagine if we identified a drug that might reduce the risk of being hospitalized from COVID-19 by many fold, within a few months? Our national government would be investing billions of dollars to test such a drug. Such a treatment, by greatly reducing the severity of COVID-19 infections, would also help schools and universities to reopen, businesses to restart and help our lives and economy to return toward normal. Notably, even when an effective vaccine is developed, it could take many more months and would likely take even longer to be widely delivered. Despite development of a vaccine, an effective, safe treatment to reduce the severity of COVID-19 among those who still get infected will remain incredibly important.

Better nutrition holds this promise. COVID-19 is like a heat-seeking missile for poor metabolic health. This fast pandemic is far worse because its hitting us on top of a slow pandemic of diet-related diseases, like diabetes, obesity and other conditions. More Americansdie prematurelyfrom a poor dietthan any other risk factor. This year, about 500,000 Americans will die from diet-induced diseases. These deaths, like COVID-19, also disproportionately affect Black and Brown Americans, through long-standing systems of structural racism that are in large partmediated through lifestyle and diet-related metabolic risk factors.Its time to address these inequities.

Crucially, healthy eating doesnt require years to work. Changes in our food choices can alter metabolic health within six to eight weeks, even with no weight loss. And, of course, improving diet can also significantly improve our weight over just a few months. Were not talking about years, but just months to see and test potential benefits.

The potential for food-related actions to bend the curve of COVID-19 must be prioritized by federal, state and local governments. For our nations presidential candidates, we call for the following actions:

Sensible food and nutrition policy can help reduce the severity of COVID-19, restore our shattered economy, improve national resilience toward future threats and be a major step toward health equity. Such policies can also save hundreds of thousands of Americans from premature disability, suffering and death each year. Governments in theU.K.andMexicoare recognizing this need and they are taking action. Its time we demand the same from our presidential candidates and the next administration.

*Weve decided not to link to this and other concerning and/or triggering content.

If youre on TikTok, its highly likely your feed has served up a friend or influencer doing something called the 75 Hard Challenge. The hashtags #75HardChallenge and #75Hard have more than 31 million views, collectively.*

And while questionable weight-loss trends are not new (sup, keto diet, Whole30 recipes, and intermittent fasting?), this 75-day plan created by motivational speaker, podcaster, author, and supplement company owner Andy Frisella is going viral for all the wrong reasons.

In March 2019, Frisella, who is not a certified trainer, dietitian, or licensed clinical therapist, introduced the concept of the 75 Hard Challenge on his podcast, Real AF, suggesting that its a way to change your life for the better and lose weight. Ive spent more than 20 years figuring out how to master mental toughness and Im putting everything Ive learned into a program I call 75HARD, he writes in the episode notes.

On his website, Frisella writes that 75 Hard is NOT A REGULAR FITNESS PROGRAM. Rather, its a MENTAL TOUGHNESS PROGRAM that he is qualified to teach based on his 20 years of intensive study and real-life experience. He does not reference any health, fitness, or therapy courses.

The basic principles of his challenge include:

Follow a diet. Although he doesnt specify which foods this includes, he doesnt allow alcohol or cheat meals. Its unclear what qualifies as a cheat meal.

Work out twice a day for at least 45 minutes. One of these workouts must be an outdoor session, although its not explained why.

Drink 4 liters of water per day.

Read 10 pages of nonfiction a day.

Take a 5-minute cold shower.

Take progress photos every day.

Perform other unrelated tasks like a random act of kindness or talk to someone in person daily.

Honestly, yes. Besides the seemingly arbitrary rules, there are many other reasons to be worried about the impact Frisellas challenge can have on your physical and mental health.

Story continues

For starters, following a diet for 75 days can mean different things to different people. While some may decide that their diet is limiting how much takeout they order, others might take it upon themselves to cut out entire food groupsespecially if their motivation to do the challenge is to lose weight.

That can completely eff with a persons relationship with food, says licensed clinical social worker and therapist Ayana Ali.

Diets that severely restrict food often result in the creation of a negative relationship between individuals and how they nourish themselves, says Ali. It works like this: When you categorize foods as bad or cheat foods and avoid them, you may crave those foods more intensely. And once you eat them, you will likely overindulge and subsequently drown in guilt and shame for having consumed so much of it, says Ali. That can set you up for a disordered cycle of bingeing and restriction.

Whats worse: Extremely restrictive eating means you may never actually learn healthy eating habits or honor your bodys desires, says Ali.

Then there are the fitness rules that dont take into account your underlying health conditions, previous injuries, or current fitness levels. Exercising for 90 minutes a day, with 45 minutes spent outside regardless of the temp, is not safe for everyone.

And like the diet rules, the fitness recommendations are basically a choose your own adventure. That means some might take it upon themselves to go HAM with burpees, cardio, strength, or workouts theyve never tried before. Which, yeah, is super problematic.

The workout plan is so nonspecific that youre at great risk for injury, confirms registered dietitian Albert R. Matheny, certified strength and conditioning specialist and owner of the SoHo Strength Lab in New York City. And for a lot of people, working out twice a day is too much too fast.

Before starting any fitness plan, you should get a physical from your doctor and an assessment from an actual certified personal trainer. This ensures you develop a plan that is safe, effective, and personally aligned toward your goals, says Matheny.

Oh, and its also not sustainable, says Matheny. Workout routines are best when you can gradually increase what youre doing every week. But doing the same thing every day for 75 days can get extremely monotonous and you may lose motivation fast or just burn out, says Matheny. If the only thing thats motivating you is your daily progress picture, thats a major problem too.

Although the plan is meant to improve your mental toughness, this challenge is more detrimental to your mental health than it is helpful, says Ali.

Being extremely regimented can damage your mental health, she says. If you believe (as Frisella suggests) that success only looks like completing a laundry list of random, time-consuming activities, you might see yourself as a failure when you cant complete them. But succeeding isnt so cut and driedand it has literally nothing to do with what you eat or how much you work out.

If the ability, or lack thereof, to stick to a highly prescriptive plan for 75 days is held out as a measure of mental health, anyone following this diet who does anything less than what the plan details may inaccurately believe that she is weak or that her mental health quotient is low, says Ali. This can lead to feelings of self-deprecation and an inability to appreciate other measures of progress toward better emotional health.

In a 2017 interview with Forbes covering Frisellas use of social media to earn $100 million in sales for his supplement company, he told reporters: When I first started posting things [for my company] online, I looked at all our competitors and all they were posting were pictures of protein powder. I thought that was so boring, and I wanted to do something different, so I catered our content around motivation instead, the lifestyle our customers wanted to live, said Frisella.

And this may be just another non-boring, motivational way Frisella aims to gain more sales, even if the plan is totally free.

Hes trying to sell you something, says Matheny. The goal of the 75 Hard Challenge isnt to improve your mental toughness, its to motivate you to unconsciously spread his name, his brand, and his supplement company to your friends. TL;DR: Hes pyramid-scheming us, fam.
