A woman in her mid-70s, walking briskly, nearly caught the overweight man as he jogged on the indoor track at Premier Health and Fitness Center in Tallahassee. The man managed to stay ahead and finished 13 laps for the first time. Thirteen laps on the inside lane made a mile.

The fast-walking woman was an inspiration to the man.

While he only wished the best for the woman and gym colleagues in their pursuit of self-improvement, he admittedly was also pleased to see another fitness member plodding along on the track an observation met with skepticism by the mans usually supportive wife.

MAN: There was a guy on the track today who was even fatter than me.

WIFE: Sure.

MAN: No, really …

WIFE: Sure.

Given the mans extra poundage and potential for old orthopedic issues (ankle sprains, heel spurs, etc.), even with the perfectly level track surface at the climate-controlled fitness center, he wondered if like the speedy older woman he would be better off walking than running.

Which form of exercise was a better fit for him?

If weight loss was the primary goal, running certainly would burn off many more calories per minute than walking.

The mans preference for jogging also coincided with recommendations from the exercise physiology lab at the University of Wyoming. A study at the school, which was published in the Journal of Obesity (yes, this is a real journal), included nine experienced female runners and 10 committed female walkers as participants.

The researchers found the runners had significantly higher blood levels of peptide YY a hormone known to suppress appetite. The walkers blood levels did not reflect increased peptide YY level.

The study suggested running would lead to weight loss faster than walking.

In another study titled Greater Weight Loss From Running than Walking, and published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, researchers, combining survey data from 15,237 walkers and 32,215 runners enrolled in the National Runners and Walkers Health Study, came up with the same conclusion: For persons looking to control their weight, running wins over walking by a large margin.

But walking especially brisk walking has some advantages over running.

In a study published in the Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology journal (American Heart Association journal), both runners and walkers were found to be at less risk of high blood pressure, unhealthy cholesterol profiles, diabetes, and heart disease than their sedentary peers.

However, with the same energy expenditure, researchers found that walkers reduced their risk of heart disease by 9.3 percent as compared to the runners 4.5 percent reduced risk.

With low-impact walking, there is generally less chance of injury than with running although walking is probably still more risky than the low-impact cardiovascular exercise favored by the mans wife.

A big proponent of swimming, she recommended he should, like her, spend less time on the track and more time in the pool at the fitness center. She encouraged him to do a few laps in the big pool and stop eating so much at night.

The man got defensive when confronted with the latter recommendation.

MAN: Im serious about cutting back on the late-night snacks.

WIFE: Sure.

MAN: No, really …

WIFE: Really??

If he had been a participant in the study at the exercise physiology lab in Wyoming, the researchers would have had to tabulate pizza crusts and chicken-wing bones in addition to drawing blood for peptide YY hormone levels.

Run or walk: What method is best for weight loss and health? - Tallahassee Democrat

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Nutraceuticals Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Product (Dietary Supplements, Functional Food, Functional Beverages), by Region (North America, Europe, APAC, CSA, MEA), and Segment Forecasts, 2021-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global nutraceuticals market size is expected to reach USD 991.09 billion by 2030. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 9.0% from 2021 to 2030. Rising awareness regarding calorie reduction and weight loss in the major markets including the U.S., China, and India is expected to promote the application of the health and wellness segment and thus, in turn, will have a substantial impact on the industry.

Nutraceuticals are products that provide health advantages and additional nutrition to the human body. It comprises fortified nutrients, such as taurine, CoQ10, omega-3, calcium, zinc, and antioxidants, that develop the complete health of consumers. These nutrients further benefit in averting medical conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, heart diseases, and allergies. As nutraceuticals develop the digestive and immune systems and enhance the cognitive behavior of consumers, their demand is witnessing a surge at the global level.

The increasing trend among consumers to alter dietary habits is likely to boost the demand for nutraceuticals. The consumer belief that improper diet results in an increase in costs on pharmaceuticals is anticipated to boost the demand for nutraceuticals. This would also help the government as it would result in lesser expenditure on healthcare and low social security costs.

A rise in disposable income, increasing consumer awareness concerning health issues, and rapid urbanization are likely to boost the market growth over the forecast years. A positive outlook towards medical nutrition owing to the high prevalence of weight management programs, along with cardiovascular diseases, is anticipated to propel the product demand.

The rise and evolution of wellness-focused diets such as keto and paleo are driving food producers to cater their products in this direction. Functional food products such as probiotics and omega-3 are highly used in yogurt and fish oils in order to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and develop the quality of intestinal microflora, which is further projected to fuel the growth of the functional food segment over the coming years.

When you think about losing weight, your mind might automatically wander to eating less, skipping meals, and developing other unhealthy habits. Instead, it's important to focus on healthier ways to lose weight. Some ideas may include changing your exercise routine as well as switching up your dieting habits. One important factor, however, is to make sure you eat and drink to help you lose weight.

Instead of focusing on just one or the other, you can find combinations of food and drink that pair together nicely and help promote weight loss. We spoke with Kimberly Snodgrass, RDN, LD, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, who laid out the best food and drink combinations for weight loss by meals of the day: breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner, to make sure you get the most out of your weight loss efforts.

These winning combinations generally feature protein as an important food group, as it helps you to feel fuller longer. The drinks, on the other hand, have been shown to support metabolism and digestion to help your gut remain happy and healthy.

Start the most important meal of the day off right by combining the power duo: eggs and coffee.

"Eggs can help boost your metabolism for a few hours," explains Snodgrass. "That's because proteins require your body to use more energy to digest them. This is known as the thermic effect of food (TEF)." Research published in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism has shown that protein-rich foods increase TEF the most.

"Protein may also help keep you fuller for longer, which can prevent overeating," she says.

As far as drinking coffee goes, Snodgrass suggests that this caffeinated beverage may aid in weight loss by increasing metabolism, decreasing calorie intake, and stimulating fat burning. The most important part, however, is to make sure you drink it black with no added substances like cream or sugar.

Lastly, Snodgrass suggests that the eggs should be prepared without any additional calories. For example, you could have a boiled egg with paprika for flavor, but not throw in calorie-consuming foods like cheese or butter.

When choosing what to have for lunch, keep in mind that this fish and tea combo might serve some wins for weight loss.

Similar to eggs, Snodgrass says grilledfish can help boost your metabolism for a few hours due to the proteins requiring your body to use more energy to digest them (the TEF). This may, again, help keep you fuller for longer.

As for the green tea, this may be your perfect mid-day boost (if you're drinking it plain, that is).

"Green tea can help promote weight loss by boosting energy levels and improving performance while exercising," says Snodgrass. "And, green tea contains a high amount of catechins, which are antioxidants that may increase fat burning and boost metabolism.

All great sources of protein, Snodgrass suggests that nuts, seeds, low-sodium black beans, and chickpeas are great metabolism boosters and may keep you full through the night.6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e

Black beans, for instance, are not only a great source of protein which may help with metabolism, but they're also great for digestion. The soluble fiber in black beans may help keep you full, and also help you maintain a healthy gut, which in return can positively influence the ability to lose weight.

Ginger tea is the perfect weight loss-promoting pairing with your salad."When examined in human studies, ginger indicates that it can promote fullness, decrease appetite, and increase metabolism," says Snodgrass.

If you feel like you need a snack to get you from one meal to another, this is the perfect combination.

Snodgrass says that Greek yogurt is full of protein that will help you feel full and lose weight. It's also full of good bacteria for your gut, which may promote good gut health. Adding the berries helps add a layer of fiber to the mix.

Pair it with cold water, and you're set for a hearty snack. "Drinking cold water increases resting energy expenditure, which is the number of calories you burn while resting.

If you're looking to flavor the plain water, Snodgrass suggests adding cucumber or mint.

Randomized Clinical Trial Published In JAMA Network Open Reveals Effectiveness of Widely-Available Commercial Weight Management Program

NEW YORK, Aug. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new randomized clinical trial published in JAMA Network Open found that those engaged in WeightWatchers, a commercially available weight loss program, lost more than twice the amount of weight than those who tried to lose weight on their own. Those randomly assigned to WeightWatchers were also more likely to achieve clinically significant weight loss of five percent at three and twelve months, which can help lead to health benefits - including improvements in blood pressure, blood cholesterol and blood sugar.1

Participants assigned to WW had access to the app and community support - including Workshops, expert Coaches and tools. These participants also experienced WeightWatchers' unique and simplified approach to self-monitoring - with a list of over 200 foods that participants didn't need to weigh, measure or track. As a result, the findings also suggest that programs with lower demands for self-monitoring of nutritious foods can produce clinically significant weight loss.

"Given the global prevalence of obesity, accessible and effective treatment options are needed to manage obesity and its comorbid conditions, but few commercial programs have been rigorously evaluated," said Deborah Tate, PhD, study co-author and a professor of health behavior and nutrition at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "We are encouraged by these findings which suggest that health care professionals might discuss the potential merits of commercial programs compared with efforts patients might undertake to lose weight on their own for greater likelihood of clinical benefit."

The worldwide prevalence of obesity nearly tripled between 1975 and 2016. In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults aged 18 years and older were living with overweight and of these, over 650 million adults were living with obesity.2To provide practical solutions for obesity in America specifically, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) guidelines state that primary care physicians and other clinicians should offer or refer adult patients with obesity for intensive, multi-component behavioral intervention, of which WeightWatchers meets these standards. However, despite this guidance, most people try to lose weight on their own rather than choosing scientifically proven approaches.

"These study findings are particularly meaningful in a world where rigid DIY approaches, free apps and fads on social media and in the news are common approaches for weight loss," said Gary Foster, PhD, study co-author and Chief Scientific Officer, WW. "This three-country study shows that WeightWatchers is an effective and scalable approach. We're also encouraged that our new approach - where you don't have to track everything you eat and drink - leads to clinically significant weight loss."

The study (Tate DF, Lutes LD, Bryant M, et al. Efficacy of a Commercial Weight Management Program Compared With a Do-It-Yourself Approach: A Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA Netw Open. 2022;5(8):e2226561. doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2022.26561) was funded by WW International. It was run as an investigator-led trial with all data collection and analysis conducted by the independent research teams, researchers assessed 373 adults with overweight or obesity in the U.S., Canada and U.K.

WW has published 130+ clinical trials, over 35 of which are rigorous, randomized control trials which have examined its efficacy and impact. In addition, WeightWatchers is one of the few programs that fulfills all of the criteria that expert panels deem necessary in order for behavioral lifestyle weight-loss interventions to be effective.3,4These panels include the United States Preventive Task Force, The Obesity Society, the American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association, UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, and the Australian Government's National Health and Medical Research Council.

NEW RESEARCH FINDS WEIGHTWATCHERS APPROACH RESULTS IN SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER WEIGHT LOSS THAN DO-IT-YOURSELF - PR Newswire

KSI has just finished his How I Build My Body video shoot dropping soon. Hes dripping with sweat and still recovering from a session that saw him showcase his boxing technique, strength-building moves and a set of neck exercises that if they were performed by the wrong person look like they could do as much damage as good. Still, ever the professional, he changes into a fresh shirt, takes a gulp of water and sits down with MH for a quiet conversation.

If youre a Gen Zer or a Millennial, youll more than likely already be familiar with KSI, which stands for Knowledge, Strength, Integrity, and is the alias of Olajide Olatunji or JJ as hes known to friends, family and coaches. If youre older than that, he may well be the most famous person youve never heard of. For the uninitiated, the 29-year-old is a veteran YouTube star, who has parlayed his online success into careers in music and boxing. His YouTube channel now boasts the fourth biggest following for a British artist behind only Ed Sheeran, One Direction and Adele. His last fight, against foe-turned-friend Logan Paul, reportedly sold more pay-per-views than Anthony Joshuas world title fight against Andy Ruiz Jr, which took place six-months earlier.

For me, the sky is the limit. And then once I reach the sky, my attitude is let's reach the stars

As he explains during our conversation, his success in all of his endeavours is down to constant progression. KSI chips away at his passion projects until hes capable of delivering the best version of himself, but he has come in for some criticism recently. When we spoke, he was set to fight YouTuber Alex Wassabi an opponent he admitted he would inevitably knock out: It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when, he said. When Wassabi withdrew from the fight with concussion, KSI replaced him with the rather underwhelming Swarmz, a rapper whom the podcaster and fight enthusiast True Geordie described as a Rocky-level underdog. To, in his own words, turn this L (loss) into a W (win), KSI will now fight Swarmz and Mexican professional boxer Luis Alcarez Pineda in a Two Fights One Night event.

Its an unprecedented move, but then again precedent setting is nothing new for KSI, and his belief that he can vanquish two opponents in one night is unsurprising. As he discusses with us, hes in the best shape of his life, dropping from 95kg six months ago to 80kg today. Hes also been working with a therapist to bulletproof his mind, and his boxing IQ has increased 10-fold since he last set foot in a ring.

So confident is he of winning, hes already thinking about a clash with fellow-YouTuber-turned-pro-boxer Jake Paul, and after that, who knows. It could be Conor McGregor, says KSI. For me, the sky is the limit. And then once I reach the sky, my attitude is let's reach the stars.

Men's Health: Talk us through your 15kg transformation? How hard was it for you to achieve that?

KSI: I started as someone that hated training. I hated exercise when I was in school. I wasn't really the type of guy that liked to do anything physical, so I imagine a lot of people from school would be surprised to see me in the ring boxing, but its been a journey. I've just been working on my body.

And what have you been doing? What does a hard training day look like for you now?

A hard training day is normally when I have to train twice a day. Let's say for one day, I'd wake up nice and early, do 50 minutes of skipping and then do 50 minutes of shadow boxing.

As soon as you wake up?

Yeah, you just go straight into it. Then I'd eat breakfast, just to give me energy. Id drink a good amount of water as well. And then, head off to boxing training do some boxing training nonstop for about an hour and a half.

Is that hitting the bag, drills, sparring? What are you doing?

A lot of it can be technical. It's making sure I'm doing what I'm doing well and then repeating that. After that we'd do a hard cardio session where I'm on the versa climber doing four rounds, three minutes of me going hard, going ham (hard as a motherfucker). After that Id have a little break, have lunch, and then after lunch probably watch a bit of TV, play some games and then have another session. Sometimes it can be a sprint session where I just do sprints repeatedly, which we do eight times, trying to get it under three minutes. Ill have a minute break after that, and then we do that again as many times as we see fit. On other days, it could be us just doing more boxing and just constant punching, working on shoulder endurance and making sure when I'm in that ring, I ain't ever tired. My arms never fatigue. I'm always in pristine condition.

How often do you train? Are you training every day?

Every day. I haven't had a rest day.

So you never have rest days?

This has been the year where I decided to really make training a lifestyle, so yeah, I pretty much train every day. On the days when it's not as hard, I'm doing something like a 10K. That's an easy day for me.

Would you say this is the fittest you've been?

100 percent.

How does that make you feel?

Honestly, I feel like a God. I feel like a complete alpha amongst other men. Not to be douchy, but I just feel like no one can outrun me and no one can out punch me. I feel very different to everyone else. I think that's just because I'm super fit and super ready. I feel good as well. I look at myself in the mirror, and I just stare at myself for five minutes, just being like Jesus Christ. I'm sick. But I've worked hard for it. I've worked really hard for it, man.

"I just stare at myself for five minutes, just being like Jesus Christ. I'm sick'"

Okay, so lets talk boxing. You haven't been in the ring for three years, do you have any nerves about making that walk and fighting again?

No nerves. Excitement. It's a celebration. When I get in that ring, it's a celebration of all the hard work that I've done. You'd be nervous if you didn't work hard beforehand. That's how I see it. Like for the second Logan (Paul) fight, I was nervous because I worked hard, but there was still doubt. There was still doubt boxing wise: is he a better boxer? Does he have better technique? How am I gonna beat that reach of his? How am I gonna do on the main stage? Same with Joe Weller. He was seen as this athlete, and I didnt know if I was gonna be better than him, fitter than him. Whereas now, I feel like no one can beat me. I feel like I'm a different animal, and there's zero doubt. I'm more prepared than I've ever been. I went into this camp fitter than I was when I ended the camp with Logan. Think about that. That's crazy. So six rounds, three minutes is literally nothing for me, and I'm just gonna be putting in that work. I'm excited to show everyone how much work Ive put in.

Do you see this as a tune-up fight and then onto bigger things?

Of course, of course. I've said that this is a tune-up fight. 100 percent.

Then what's your dream fight?

I want Jake Paul. That's why I've come back. Everyone thinks he's sick. Everyone thinks he's the goat, and I'm here to expose him and show everyone he's not as good as he thinks he is. I'm going to show everyone that Im the greatest YouTube boxer of all time. And then after that, we'll see where I want to go with boxing. If I want to fight other boxers or MMA fighters or whatever, the sky is the limit. I've got a goal that I want to achieve, which is Jake Paul, and once I get that let me push my body some more, see how far I can go and find someone else that people would think I would never be able to beat.

When you saw Logan fight Floyd Mayweather, is that the level you want to get to in the future?

Yeah, you never know. Obviously with Logan, he was able to last with Mayweather. Whereas with me, I wanna be able to knock him out. I want to be the first person to ever beat Mayweather. But you work towards it. It doesn't just happen. This is me working towards it. It's all gradual steps. My whole career has been gradual steps. It's never been me just shooting to the moon. It's all just been working on the foundation and improving slowly. Even with my music, you can see where I've started from. My music wasn't that good, but I've constantly improved over the years. Now I'm getting number one albums, and I'm getting top five and top 10 singles. It shows there's progression, and I've enjoyed that it's been a slow, steady, gradual progress rather than shoot to the moon and then just have to sustain this huge amount of pressure. There's no pressure for me.

In terms of boxing, who are your heroes? Who do you like?

It's funny because I wasn't really into boxing until I started boxing myself. I watched Mayweather and I watched AJ fight, and I watched Fury and the Klitschkos, but I watched it because everyone was raving on about it. They would say, this is the fight to watch, you should check it out. So I was like, yeah, sure, whatever. I actually went to Mayweather versus Pacquiao. I was watching and I was like, I don't get it, what's going on? I get that they're punching each other, but no one's getting knocked out. I didn't understand the art of it. Whereas now that I've been in the ring and I know and understand boxing, I have a new appreciation for it. Now, looking at people like Usyk or Lomachenko, the way they move, their footwork, and how they're able to get in good positions, create good angles and are able to just piece up their opponent, it's so sick. And someone like AJ, even with all the ups and downs he's had, to be able to fight through it. And someone like Fury, again his ups and downs outside the ring, for him to still be able to get in that ring, prove people wrong and show that he is one of the best heavyweight boxers of all time, it's just sick. I think for me, I enjoy that boxing isn't just in the ring. It's also out the ring. It shapes you as a whole person. That's why I'm just so drawn to it. That's why I've made it a lifestyle of mine.

It's interesting that you were drawn to boxing. You've obviously got a massive audience that youve brought to the sport, but Im sure they would have watched whatever you would have done, so why did you pick a sport where you get punched in the face, thats so hard and so brutal?

It's the true test of who is more alpha, so that's one of the reasons for me. Also, boxing has shaped me as a man. I feel like it's humbled me, and its made me grow up quicker. I think before boxing, I was quite childish, and I didn't really understand the world as much as I do now. Boxing has done so much to humble me. In the ring and out the ring, it has made me a better person. Mentally it's helped me so much, and its changed my whole lifestyle, so, for example, I don't drink alcohol anymore.

Is that a recent change?

Since I've made boxing a lifestyle, I just don't drink. I don't need that because I see it as this thing that's held me back. For me, I see my life as a road, and there's been so many distractions during this journey and during this drive that I've been taking. Alcohol is on the right, and that's swayed me here and there. Lust has swayed me, and then partying all the time, you can get too caught up in it. Drugs are another one where it can just make you lose your way. So for me, Im fully sober and I feel like that's helped me stay focused on my goals and where I want to be in life. Its also helped me stay dedicated and focused on my training. There are days when I don't feel like doing it, but I tell myself this is the day where you definitely have to do it. That's how I reinforce that this is a lifestyle for me. There's been so many days where I go, I can't be arsed, but it's those days where you can't be arsed, those are the days where you have to do it even more. No shortcuts.

"I think my boxing knowledge is so minute. I think there's so much more I need to learn."

I read that you've been seeing a therapist. What made you want to do that?

With physical health, I make sure I train all the time. I feel with mental health, it's just the same thing. You can't neglect it, it's extremely important. I think a lot of people have neglected mental health, and I always stress it in my videos and on my YouTube channel, I'm always telling people I have a therapist because it's important. It's good to make sure mentally youre in check, and it's something that's easy to do. It's not something you have to do every week, every two weeks. It's not even something you have to do every month, but it's good to do every now and then just to make sure that mentally you're in a good space.

How often do you see a therapist?

I started seeing her over Zoom because it's hard for me to find the time to go into a centre. It was every week, and then it became every two weeks, and then it became every month, and now it's like every quarter. I'm just in a great space. I understand my mind and my body, so it's not something that I need to always do, but it's always there, and I can do it every now and then, whenever I need to make sure everything's in check.

What have you learned through going to therapy?

For me, I've been able to understand why I think the way I do, why my mind goes into these random tangents, and Ive learned how to calm my mind and trick my mind into doing things that I don't want to do. When I'm running, for example, and I'm halfway through a 10K, my mind's going, 'you don't have to do this. You've trained so hard you can just rest, just relax.' I'm able to then control my mind and be like, I'm finishing this 10K. I don't give a fuck. I'm doing this right now. Every time I'm able to finish and do what I set out to do.

Before therapy, could you do that?

I'd do it, but I didnt have the level of control that I have now. So for me, I see mental health as not me trying to fix myself, but me trying to understand my mind and in a sense be more powerful.

As we sit here now, three or so years on from your Logan Paul fight, how good of a boxer do you think you are, with all the mental and physical work you've put in?

Out of 10, I'll probably say a two.

Really?

Yeah, I don't know a lot. I think my boxing knowledge is so minute. I think there's so much more I need to learn, but I think I've made huge strides. I think when I faced Logan, I was a zero.

Did you think that at the time?

No, I thought I was an eight. I love that I haven't completed it and I'm not close to completing it. I feel with YouTube, I understand YouTube, I get YouTube. I've reached the ceiling with YouTube a few times and I'm just doing it and I'm happy where I'm at. With music, I feel there's still much more for me to do. I feel like I've made huge strides in the UK, but worldwide, I've still got things to do. And then with boxing, I feel like I know so little and there's so much more for me to learn and do.

Simone JoynerGetty Images

With YouTube, you're one of the best in the world. Is your aim to be one of the best in the world at boxing, and do you think that's achievable?

No, for me, it's all about being the best version of me. I look at other people and see what they're doing, but I focus on me and what I want to do. If I want to be the best boxer, I'll be the best boxer for me. I'll see how far I can go and how far I can push it. Same with music, same with YouTube. It's not about me being the most subscribed. It's about me making sure I'm enjoying YouTube and making YouTube videos.

Finally, what do you say to the accusation that YouTube fights and YouTube fighters are bad for boxing?

I'd say, not at all. I think everyone's doing their thing. Everyone's training hard. Everyone's getting in the ring. That's exactly what other boxers do. Maybe other people train differently, but we're all still training, we're all still getting in there and we're all still getting beat up, so I don't think it's bad at all. I think it's opened the whole scene to a younger generation, and it's made boxing even more mainstream. I think in a few years time, we're gonna have a lot more boxers coming out the woodwork because of what YouTube boxing has done, because it's inspired a lot of kids and brought back that fire when it comes to boxing.

Corn is a widely available and beloved crop in India that is consumed as part of its street food culture, at barbecues, turned into rotis, pakodas and many more delicacies. With corn being so widely available and reasonable, a lot of people may wonder whether it can be considered as conducive to good health and weight loss.

With the controversy surrounding food additives like High Fructose Corn Syrup, and it being high on the glycemic index and high in calories, people might assume that corn in general is high in calories and bad for health.

But they would be mistaken. Pure, unprocessed corn in its natural form is a great addition to your diet if your goal is weight loss. Even sweet corn is conducive to weight loss when consumed in moderation! But if you are diabetic or have a certain medical condition, please check with a doctor before eating corn in any form.

In addition to corn having less calories per 100 grams than both whole wheat and white rice, its also higher in protein. Protein has long been known to be a great addition to your diet if youre looking to shed pounds.

Protein boosts the metabolism and enables the body to shed pounds more easily, and helps in muscle development, as opposed to fat cell growth, when consumed in the right quantities, relative to an individuals body weight.

There is a common assumption that corn is high in calories, but one cob of corn has the same amount of calories as an average sized apple. Its only when we start to slather our corn with butter, or deep fry it into pakodas, that it begins to settle on our waistlines.

Corn is very high in fibre. There are numerous studies that link a high fibre diet toprevention of fat accumulation around the belly and to the shedding of belly fat. Fibre also keeps you fuller for longer and prevents you from over-eating, which also helps you along on your weight loss journey.

Foods for weight loss need to be able to provide you with all the essential vitamins and minerals, so that you arent sacrificing your health in favour of a slender body. Corn does just that! It is high on minerals like magnesium and potassium and high in vitamins like vitamin C, vitamin B1 and Vitamin B9.

I strongly believe that a food that we consume regularly for weight loss needs to be:

* Readily available* Reasonable* Easy to prepare

And corn is all of these things!

This makes corn a sustainable option for those looking to consume it regularly.

Corn can be cooked and eaten in a variety of ways. From Corn Khichdi, Corn on the Cob, Corn Porridge, Maize Flour Roti to Corn Sabjis and Corn Salads, eating corn to shed kilos doesnt have to boring or monotonous! Are you tempted by the flavourful cup of corn chaat on the streets or outside movie halls? Think again!

With the preparation options that corn offers, weight loss can be a delicious journey!

Corn is a frequently misunderstood food that deserves more recognition as a healthy grain. Start to incorporate corn into your diet, without combining it with copious amounts of oil, sugar and fat, start to exercise moderately and watch the magic happen, and the weight disappear!

Corn for weight loss: 6 reasons why it may be good for you - Health shots

From sipping on a glass of wine while unwinding after a long day to enjoying an ice-cold mug of beer while watching a sporting event with friends, it is unsurprising that many people enjoy including a boozy beverage in their diet once in a while. But since alcoholic drinks can be loaded with empty calories, those who are trying to lose weight may shy away from knocking back a cold one out of concern that by doing so, they will totally derail their weight goals.

But is it true that you can't drink alcohol and lose weight, or can you still enjoy a cocktail and stick to your health goals?

The good news is that, in conjunction with eating an overall healthy and balanced diet, a once-in-a-while alcoholic drink can be a part of a weight loss plan as long as you pick the right choices. While certain sugar-laden mixed drinks can contain a whopping 700 calories or more per serving (we're looking at you, pina coladas), there are some weight loss-friendly alcoholic drinks that are totally enjoyable to sip.

The key to drinking alcohol while trying to lose weight is to, first and foremost, stick to a reasonable portion size.

While it may be tempting to order the extra large margarita on taco Tuesday or take advantage of a two-for-one beer special at happy hour, extra large servings will result in you consuming more alcohol.

Since one gram of alcohol contains seven calories, it doesn't take a mathematician to see how drinking more alcohol can result in overconsumption of calories. In the United States, one "standard" drink contains roughly 14 grams of pure alcohol, which is found in 12 ounces of regular beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits.

Along with paying attention to your alcohol portion, if you are a mixed drink lover, you should stick with mixers that are not loaded with added sugar or large quantities of fat. While creamy and chocolatey dessert-like alcoholic drinks are dreamy, they won't do you any favors in the weight loss department. And if you are a canned boozie bevvie aficionado, make sure that the one you are cracking open is free from excessive amounts of added sugars as well.

If you are craving an adult beverage, but you don't want to upend your weight loss efforts completely, here are some weight-loss-friendly options to check out.

Made with real alphonso mango puree, nothing artificial, and containing fewer than 100 calories per can, this 4% ABV hard seltzer is an utterly satisfying sip on hot days. It is hard to believe that this combo only contains 2 grams of sugar per serving.

Each can of Livvy has 110 calories and is made using natural ingredients like real juice and monk fruit. Unlike many other hard seltzers, this effervescent drink is made with a smooth wine base instead of leaning on malt or cane sugar for alcohol (which also allows them to ship online). There is a blend of four botanicals like ginger root and prickly pear extract in every sip, and it contains 0 grams of added sugar, 2 grams of carbs per can, and it is non-GMO and gluten-free.

A bloody Mary with a crunchy celery stalk can be a lower-calorie mixed drink that is savory and packed with nutrients. Q Mixers Spectacular Bloody Mary Mix is made with ingredients like real tomatoes (which are naturally low in calories) and seven herbs and spices, making it a natural choice for a weight loss-friendly mix. Combine this mix with a one-ounce serving of vodka for a classic drink that is low in calories and high in flavor.

Aperitifs are drinks that are traditionally consumed before a meal to prepare the palette. Atst is served like an aperitif but has less than half the sugar of leading competitors (like Aperol), using just a touch of sweet.

For those who like to sip on some suds, Shiner Light Blonde (4.2% ABV) is brewed with the highest quality two-row barley and choice aroma hops. Each bottle or can has only 99 calories, 3.8 grams of carbs, 7 grams of protein, and 0 grams of fat.

Wine lovers don't have to forego a welcoming glass of vino. Libby has less alcohol and fewer calories than traditional wines and sparkling wines without containing artificial sugars, ingredients, or flavor additives. Because of its clean ingredients, Libby contains about 75-80 calories per 5-ounce serving, whereas traditional wines contain at least 115-140 calories per serving, depending on the ABV and residual sugar levels.

A hard kombucha that has a slightly lower ABV than traditional hard kombucha makes for a lower calorie delicious canned cocktail. Like all kombuchas, this one features live probiotics. And since consuming probiotics may promote a reduction in body weight, leaning on this kombucha cocktail may be a perfect treat for your weight loss journey.6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e

A shot of tequila with a squeeze of lime and served over ice will set you back only 100 calories. Sip on this drink slowly to enjoy the flavor, since the serving is quite small. If the tequila is too strong for your liking, add some sparkling water to the mix to make your sips more palatable.

RELATED:This Is What Happens to Your Body When You Drink Tequila

With less than 1 gram of sugar and under 120 calories per serving, FitVine Wine Pinot Noir can fill the void for red wine lovers who are watching their weight. This wine has less sugar in an entire bottle than what is in one 5-ounce glass of the top 10 wine brands in the US, and it is absolutely satisfying to sip on.

Pete Davidson reportedly had enough of Kim Kardashian's obsession to control him, reveals insider.

Speaking to Heat Magazine in a chat, a source close to the ex-couple reveals the comedian as tired of the 41-year-old micro-managing him.

The source explains, "Pete went into this relationship with the best of intentions. He feels bad that Kims upset by his decision to end things, but also feels like he was left with no choice. It had reached the point where it was all people asked him about, like his career as a successful SNL comedian and actor had flown out of the window and all of a sudden he was Mr Kim Kardashian."

The insider continues: "Kims controlling behaviour was key to Petes decision. Kim was constantly micro-managing him, even telling him what he was allowed to wear she insisted he only be seen in brands that were affiliated with her family deals and there were endless meetings and daily call sheets that made his head spin.

"On top of that, he had to keep up with her weight loss regime get in shape, stay off the junk food and look the part of her future husband. By the time the Australia shoot came up, Pete was thrilled to be away from all Kims diet and exercise obsessing, but he still had to contend with her being on his case 24/7 about what he was up to."

Kim and Pete dated for nine months before parting ways in mid 2022.
