I wrote about my weight loss journey in Bright Line Eating back in September 2019 (www.bit.ly/MYBLE) and January of this year (www.bit.ly/MYBLE2) and it continues.

Tony Wade: The Last Laugh

I started May 17, 2019, when I weighed 381 pounds. As of May 1, 2020, I weigh 234 pounds 147 pounds gone forever. I wore a size 4XL shirt last year; I can now wear a medium. I started out wearing a 52-waist pants; I now wear 36-waist pants. I started out with a size 14 shoe; well, I still have those.

Blood sugar? Cholesterol? Blood pressure? All normal and they were not before.

I feel wonderful physically, but I also have clarity of mind and a newfound confidence. In BLE we celebrate non-scale victories and here are a few Ive experienced:

I can easily and comfortably cross my legs now. I can and do take walks three times a week for more than an hour where I sustain a very brisk pace. I can no longer shop at the Big and Tall and Overpriced store in Vacaville . . . because their clothing sizes start at ones that are too big for me.

In the first BLE column I wrote I included this paragraph: I havent hit my goal weight yet and the obvious thing would have been to just wait until I do and maintain it to write this column, but heres why I wrote this today when I am in-between my before and after pictures: I am completely, and I mean 100%, sure I will get there and I have never felt that way before in my life.

Well, I am now in maintenance and have absolutely no doubt I will be able to stay within a range that I am comfortable with.

I switched to a whole-food, plant-based (WFPB) diet Feb. 17 after watching several documentaries about the health benefits and reading the book The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss, and Long-term Health by Thomas Campbell.

Now, I did it for me, but I was startled by how many people suddenly acted as if I was a fanatical carnivore hater. Not at all. Its just my choice for me.

You know, I never knew the differences between vegans, vegetarians and people who eat plant-based whole food. I mean, theres a ton of stuff designated vegan that I would never eat. I didnt know that junk-food vegan was a thing.

I prefer the term plant-powered. Its opened up a whole new world for me. The only vegetables I used to eat were those snap pea crisps. Since I started, Ive redefined what a meal is and I love it.

The good news is that BLE works for Norwegian vegans, Bulgarian vegetarians and Baltimore omnivores.

If theres a weakness to BLE, its that it is very nuanced and doesnt lend itself easily to a succinct definition. I always recommended people read the book Bright Line Eating: The Science of Living Happy, Thin and Free by Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson.

Look, you can Google the four Bright Lines (no sugar, no flour, three meals a day, weighed/measured meals), but, like a nonfiction book, BLE is not defined by what it is not.

While it is not a 12-step program, I now refer to BLE as a one-day-at-a-time food recovery program. It has helped me put food in its proper place. Meals are times for me to refuel, not a trip to Disneyland. If you have never considered yourself addicted to food, this may make no sense at all to you and thats OK. It works for me.

I dont eat special food or anything, and I certainly am not interested in desperately trying to make what I eat now somehow resemble the things I used to eat. I tried that more than 20 years ago with Atkins and it just led me back to those things and gaining all the weight Id lost and then some.

I enjoy my food more now than ever and it really is pretty simple stuff that I eat. But that is the point. I dont have the incessant food chatter bouncing around my brain anymore. My food is not boring; its clear, measured and succinct.

The concept is best summed up in a saying I often hear Bright Line Eating Engagement Specialist Sonja Johansen Waters say: I eat in black and white so I can live in color.

From Men's Health

We get it. Squeezing in an extra workout class, batch-cooking healthy meals, the early morning cycle to work; following weight loss advice would be easier with more hours in the day. But getting up an hour earlier, or going to bed an hour later, and letting your new regimen eat into sleep is self-sabotage.

Its true that research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that low calorie dieters achieved the same amount of weight loss whether they slept for an average of 5.5 or 8.5 hours a night, but the devil is in the detail.

According to the scientists, skipping on sleep means most of the weight youre losing comes from lean mass, not fat. In other words, start burning the candle at both ends and itll be hard-earned muscle youre torching through. Just 25% of the weight lost by those getting less than six hours sleep came from fat, while those who were getting the recommended nightly amount lost twice as much.

And it gets worse for sleep dodgers. In this experiment, both groups were assigned exactly the same amount of food by the researchers. But with no lab assistant on hand to rein in impulses, sleep deprived individuals eat twice as much fat and more than 300 extra calories the next day. Thats because lack of sleep causes a spike in ghrelin the hormone that makes you feel hungry and a fall in leptin the hormone that signals you feel full. Not to mention the risk that, by spending three more hours awake, youll simply spend more time snacking. Take our advice and sleep on it.

0700: Drink two glasses of ice-cold water before breakfast. Youll not only start burning more energy, youll shave a few extra calories as your body warms the liquid.

1000: Take your kids fidget-spinner to work. It might drive your colleague mad, but you can burn 350 calories extra per day with fidgeting like tapping your feet or doodling.

1400: Chew sugar-free gum after lunch. Sure, youll have fresh breath, but youll also burn a few extra calories and be less tempted by the biscuit tray.

1900: Eat more protein at dinner. Going all-in on the macronutrient with extra chicken or tofu increases the thermic effect of your meal, meaning you burn more calories as you digest it.

Weight Loss Tips: Want to lose weight, especially fats around your waist? Read on to find out which food item will help you the most.

If you want to shed those extra pounds around your waist then it is a good decision as the excess fat can lead to several health issues. The fat especially visceral fat which is located deep around our organs can lead to health issues such as type 2 diabetes and cardiac-related diseases among others. However, the good news is that you can torch away those extra fats with the help of physical activity and a healthy balanced diet. Today we are talking about a food item that works as an elixir to get rid of visceral fats. And it is whole grains.

Speaking of whole grains, they are good sources of complex carbohydrates, important vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins, iron, folate, selenium, potassium, magnesium among others. How does it work? Grains are very high in fibre which means the same will keep you full and satisfied for long and unwanted calories from craving based eating will be at bay. They are also linked to lower several health issues such as heart diseases, diabetes and certain cancer and others.

A study was conducted by the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health to analyze how the grains impact visceral fats. As per the same, they concluded that higher intakes of whole grains are linked to lower abdominal adiposity. In short, more whole-grain intake can lead to lower visceral fat in adults and higher intakes of refined grains can result in higher levels of visceral fat.

About whole grains and refined grainsWhole grains are either present in their whole form or ground into flour and it has all parts of the seed. Speaking of refined grains, they are milled so that the germ and bran are removed to give them a finer texture and the same also extends their shelf life. One should note that refining them removes many nutrients including fibre. White flour, white rice, desserts, pastries, cookies and white bread are made from refined grains.

List of whole grainsWhole-wheatWhole-Grain RyeQuinoaBarleyBrown riceBuckwheatBulgur (cracked wheat)MilletOatmealCorn

Bottom lineInstead of refined grains and their products, go for whole grain-based rice, bread, flour and pasta, and nowadays they are easily available in grocery stores. Instead of white rice, one can have quinoa, oats, brown rice, barley or bulgur.

Weight Loss Tips: Eat THIS food item more and get rid of belly fat - PINKVILLA

Emily Simpson of Real Housewives of Orange County has been chronicling her weight loss journey since it began. Shedding 15 pounds after modifying her diet to focus on healthy foods and incorporate a steady regimen of exercise, Simpson recently spoke on how shes staying the course despite being in quarantine due to the coronavirus crisis.

When quarantine restrictions were first implemented, Simpson wanted to be realistic about maintaining a healthy diet while allowing herself some indulgences.

Well, yesterday my plan was to eat healthy, but then my in-laws dropped off pizza, so I had pizza, she told Hollywood Life in March as an example of good intentions being thwarted. But then I felt so guilty I ate pizza that I did like three sets of squats, and then shoulder presses, and push-ups and I did a whole bunch of working out, too.

The reality star shared that she plans to keep healthy foods in her diet while enjoying some traditional snacks with her kids, Annabelle, 6, and twins Luke and Keller, 4.

I try to counter balance it, the RHOC cast member explained. I think my day is really filled with snacks. Ill eat an apple, but then Ill eat the rest of my kids Goldfish that they didnt finish. And then Ill eat like a turkey sandwich and then Ill eat chips because my kids want chips. Its like a combination between healthy and then the rest of my kids snacks is basically what it is.

With many people struggling to keep their social distance from the refrigerator during lockdown, Simpson revealed that shes trying to offset any extra munching with her workouts.

Ive been eating way too much but to counter balance that I have some 12 pound hand weights that I use consistently throughout the day to do shoulder presses, curls and squats, she said in April. I also virtually work out with my trainer Paulina Stein three times a week viaInstagram Liveand the kids and I set up an obstacle course in the backyard for PE class.

Simpson makes a point of staying away from the scale, especially during quarantine, and remains focused on the importance of exercise.

I really honestly dont weigh myself very often and I definitely dont want to do it during this quarantine period because Ive been eating more than normal, which I think probably the population is in the same boat, she said. My trainers relentless so shell bother me constantly. its good because I feel like it keeps me in pretty good shape because last week we worked out four times and its a pretty intense workout. So I think thats how I keep the weight off going forward.

The Real Housewives star is keeping her kids active during quarantine with some old-fashioned mainstays. I would say our quarantine essentials are puzzles and games and Uno to keep the kids busy, Simpson shared. Clorox wipes to continuously keep the house clean and stay healthy and champagne for mom so I dont lose my mind!

As for binging, she keeps that activity for the television set. I just finished binge watching theTiger King, Simpson said of the Netflix show. It was a high speed train wreck on meth and I was unable to look away. I need a new series now and [my husband]Shaneand I are excited to start binge watchingOzarkSeason 3 Seasons 1 and 2 were amazing!

Full episodes of Bravo TVs Real Housewives of Orange County are available for streaming now.

Post Avengers: Endgame Actor Chadwick Bosemans Drastic Weight Loss, THIS Is The Black Panther Info You Would Want!

Avengers: Endgame actor Chadwick Boseman has been creating a lot of noise lately over his drastic weight loss. The actor first appeared on an Instagram video while talking about his contribution to COVID-19 relief funds. Marvel fans were taken aback to look at TChalla undergoing such concerning changes. Now, we have the latest information regarding Black Panther, and below is all the scoop you need!

Many wouldnt know, but Chadwick Boseman had signed a 5-film contract with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The actor has previously been a part of his solo Black Panther film, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. That makes it 4, and the upcoming Black Panther 2 will be the fifth and last film from the contract. So, what about the actors future in the universe? There can be two possibilities.

The first one could witness Storm being the first X-Men who would join the MCU with their entry in Black Panther, as reported by Cheat Sheet. Furthermore, there may be a love angle between Black Panther and Storm, further paving the way for a bright future in the universe, as they may get married and fight together like a team. In that scenario, Chadwick Boseman has a win-win situation!

However, another possibility suggests that if Storm doesnt appear, TChallas younger sister, Shuri could take over the responsibilities as Black Panther. As read in the comics, Shuri undergoes intensive training to undergo trials in order to become Black Panther.

Well, if the later situation happens, it is likely that we may have to bid goodbye to Chadwick Boseman from the Black Panther franchise as well as the MCU. This could also be a strong initiation of the A-Force mash-up featuring Captain Marvel, Jane Fosters Thor, and She-Hulk.

Do you want Chadwick Boseman to continue his portrayal as Black Panther? Share your views in the comment section below.
