Fasting for weight loss: Know the pros and cons

New Delhi, March 28 (IANSlife) Across India, fasting is generally linked with religious beliefs, and people fast before or during traditional rituals. On the other hand, fasting also has many health benefits and some of its pitfalls.

Many times, people ignore their bodily conditions and choose to fast. For instance, women who are breastfeeding or are pregnant must not fast. Also, people with Type 1 Diabetes who are on medication and people who have had a history with an eating disorder should consult a health specialist before altering a dietary pattern.

Fast can be done in various patterns: the ''16:8'' pattern involves 14 to 16 hours of fasting and eating between the 8 hours. Another fasting method is 5:2, that is fasting for alternate two days in a week.

There are various types of fasting methods that you can follow considering your health condition, as says Shikha Mahajan, holistic nutritionist and founder of Diet Podium:

Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting or IF includes reducing calorie intake for an interval of time so that the person fasts for the other hours. This kind of fasting allows restricting the calorie intake and results in weight loss. Time-Restricted Fasting is also similar to IF.

Water Fasting

Water fasting is a way of fasting where the individual only takes water and the intake of food is restricted for a duration of time. This kind of fasting should only be preferred under medical supervision. Sometimes doctors prescribe this kind of fasting to cure various health issues. There is a major drawback of this fasting. Since it is very difficult for a body to survive only on water. Therefore, it can cause many adverse effects on the body.

Fasting Mimicking Diet

This is the diet that tricks the body to think it is fasting. The individual is allowed to eat but only the diet which includes plant-based food, low in carbs and calories, and high in fat.

Here are some pros of fasting. Fasting helps to boost immunity. It naturally increases energy and will help you to feel more alert and focused throughout the day. It helps you attain a leaner, harder physique as fasting kills body fat dead.

There are cons of fasting too. The desire to binge after fasting is the biggest problem people face with fasting. Sometimes people tend to overeat during the non-fasting duration. This can lead to health issues like hormonal imbalances, increase in stress and migraines.

Occasional lightheadedness is the major problem faced during fasting, To negate this con, you can start with shorter fasting periods first. Always remember fasting or changing your dietary pattern can make a big change to your body functioning, its metabolism and psyche.

Before opting for any kind of fast, consult a health expert and consider your health background.

Fasting for weight loss: Know the pros and cons - Outlook India

GettyMama June's net worth is approximately $1.5 million today. She reportedly makes $50 per episode of "Mama June: From Not to Hot."

Mama June, whose real name is June Shannon, is a reality television personality who makes approximately $50,000 per episode of WE tvs hit reality seriesMama June: From Not to Hot.Her net worth in 2020 is between $1-1.5 million, according to The Cinemaholic and Cheat Sheet.

Born in 1980 in McIntyre, Georgia, June first rose to fame through the reality seriesToddlers and Tiaras,as well as her daughter Alana Thompsons spinoff,Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.The reality star has continued to gain attention throughout the years and has built herself a comfortable net worth over the last decade. Keep reading for a rundown of Mama Junes wealth and how shes earned it:

June first found fame through the reality TV showToddlers and Tiaras,where her daughter Alana Honey Boo Boo Thompson dazzled viewers with her performances in various childrens beauty pageants. Junes family then got their own reality spinoff, titled Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,which showcased Alanas life, family and growing career.

Here Comes Honey Boo Boofeatured four successful seasons, but the network abruptly canceled the show on October 23, 2014 after rumors surfaced that June was in a relationship with a registered sex offender. Although June denied the relationship, TLC canceled the show anyway.

AfterHere Comes Honey Boo Boowas canceled, June featured on a variety of other reality shows, including WE tvs Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars in 2015. However, her career really took off after she landed her very own reality show Mama June: From Not to Hot, which showcases Junes shocking weight loss transformation and her life after receiving gastric sleeve surgery.

According to The Wealth Record, Junes family made $50,000 per episode whileHere Comes Honey Boo Boowas airing, and she continues to make approximately the same per episode ofFrom Not to Hot.

There is some discrepancy with Junes reported net worth however; according to Celebrity Net Worth, Junes gross income is only $50,000, although several outlets state that she gets paid $50,000 per episode, so its unclear why the site reports such a significantly lower number. We believe her net worth to be a great deal higher than what the page states, as reported by numerous sources.

The site also reports that June is still in a relationship with Alanas father, so it appears the page hasnt been updated in quite some time.

June, like many reality stars, promotes several sponsored products on herInstagram page. Some of the products she promotes include Teami tea detoxes and Boom Bod weight loss drinks. June usually adds a code to her promotional posts to help fans get discounts on the sponsored products.

Going strong with my @boombod program! Been taking my shots and avoiding those late night cravings, she captioned the photo above. For anyone wondering these are actually really tasty so theyre easy to stick with, and theyre buy one get one Free tonight try them out.

Mama June has done a plethora of photoshoots for various publications throughout the years, including several spreads for People Magazine; however, its unclear exactly how much money she brings in from photoshoots and promos.

Mama Junes Net Worth 2020: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know - Heavy.com

Crammed into the back of a mini-submarine with three other large SEALs, weapons, radios, and packs, you have little space to move, much less find comfort. Its cold, wet, dark, and cramped. Youre never certain how long the trip will take. After an hour or so, seasickness sets in, and the only place to release is in the very mask you breathe from.

After two hours, cramping sets in, but with no room to stretch, you can only absorb the pain and wait for it to pass. After three hours, you start to think you might be going crazy as a glow stick dances around the darkness. After four or five hours, the submarine finally settles on the bottom of the seafloor, a few hundred yards off the coast, and its time to get out. The ride to the office is complete, and the real work begins.

In many ways, nothing has changed. The stress of raising nine-month-old twins, starting a company, and now dealing with the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic, is every bit as uncomfortable as what I felt in the back of the SDV (submerged delivery vehicle). Stress on a worldwide scale without a particular end date in sight is unprecedented for those of us alive today. What happens next week, or the week after, or even two months from now is anyones guess. Navigating this challenge is going to require a special mindset.

Navy SEALs have this mindset, but they arent born with it. In fact, a largely unknown paradox of SEAL training is that often the biggest, fastest, and strongest candidates are the first to quit. Similarly, it is not physical prowess or natural ability that will get you through this challenge. Rather, its a set of principles, leveraged by SEALs and available to all, that will help you not only survive but thrive in the weeks and months, perhaps even years, ahead.

My circumstances have changed, but the principles I use to navigate them have not. None of us want to be in the situation we are in now, but we can all apply these principles to thrive.

They work.

These principles are not just military wisdom; theyre backed by contemporary neuroscience.

Being overwhelmed is the consequence of trying to juggle too many mental operations at once, which makes it impossible to design or execute a good action plan. By reducing the set of operations, you relieve the load placed upon your frontal cortex (the region of your brain responsible for planning and action) and reduce the corresponding sense of panic. It isnt about how much you do, but that you do something specific you are certain you can complete. The challenge that once seemed impossible becomes doable by engaging it piece by piece. The smaller the piece, the easier it is to accomplish and the faster your brain gets out of a state of overwhelm, restoring access to the brain circuits responsible for selecting and executing action plans generally.

This is what SEAL candidates do during Hell Week, when they are required to stay awake, cold and wet, for days on end. In its entirety, Hell Week is too much to process. However, those who shorten the week into manageable chunks of time find success. Sometimes this means just focusing on making it through the day, getting to the next meal, or even just lasting for five more minutes.

Focus on one thing you know you can accomplish in 10, or even 5, minutes rather than dwell on what you need to accomplish over the entire day. Even the potentially paralyzing situation of kids at home while you need to work, a spouse or parent who is experiencing anxiety, a loss of income, or any of the other difficulties that people are experiencing now, can be broken down. Whatever the case, attending to and crossing off one small challenge sets you up to define and take on the next.

Powerlessness stems from a lack of perceived control. The molecule dopamine, famous for its role in our sense of pleasure, also enhances our energy levels and sense of possibility. Dopamine is released not just as a reward for a job well done, but also by positive anticipation of rewards and completion of goals. When you freeze, which is your default when you feel a loss of control in a given moment, it impedes dopamine release, which leads to an even greater sense of powerlessness. When you feel powerless, you must, instead, move forward. By taking action, you train your brain to repeatedly release dopamine, enhancing your energy levels and creating an outsized effect on your thinking, mood, and ultimate sense of what you can control.

When SEALs find themselves sensing a loss of control, they default to action, directing their attention toward something within their reach. It can be something little, such as triple-checking equipment before jumping from an aircraft at night or, as Admiral William McRaven (a former head of the Special Operations Command) recently recommended, when youre stuck in the mud, start singing.

Reading the headlines is reason enough to feel powerless, let alone losing a job, being confined to a small apartment, having to work in what may be an unsafe environment, and the list right now goes on and on. To re-engage your internal reward system and regain your sense of possibility, take actions as simple as reading a book to your kids, making a cup of coffee, texting a friend, doing a load of laundry. Then look for the next action step. By doing so, you shift your mindset from one of powerlessness to one of resolve.

Feeling alone stems from the brain spending too much energy taking stock of our inner landscape. Supporting others rebalances the weight of attention we pay to our inner self to the outer world. It also activates hardwired, ancient brain circuits that release feel-good brain chemicals such as oxytocin and serotonin and prevents the release of chemicals that impair immunity and promote fear.

The more stressful the environment, the more SEALs focus on the needs of their team and teammates. Whether theyre cramming into a mini-submarine, carrying a telephone-pole-sized log, or dealing with the death of a teammate, they focus on meeting the needs of others to make the group more effective and reduce the perceived sense of stress any single teammate feels.

Between those who live alone and those who feel alone while social distancing is in effect, we face a time of extreme isolation. From a neurological perspective reaching out to someone in need, whether by phone, text, old-fashioned written mail, or even baking cookies and leaving them at a neighbors door, has the same effect as pulling up a flagging teammate. Helping others doesnt just forge psychological bonds; it forges chemical ones as well. Those chemicals positively change our brains assessment of self and our place in the world.

The reality is that this situation is going to get harder before it gets easier. The principles you lean on now and in the period of time to come can make a tremendous difference in how you experience and emerge from all this. Know that you already have everything you need to be successful. In fact, youre designed to handle moments such as this, no supplements or expensive gadgets required.

Our advice: Move the finish line, take action, and serve others. This is how you will come through this time a better, more resilient you and bring about a better, more resilient world in the process.

How to deal with coronavirus stress and isolation long-term - Fast Company

Francisca Vazquez is photographed at the home she shares with her family at Buena Vista Mobile Home Park in Palo Alto on March 26. Photo by Magali Gauthier.

Three days before public health officials announced a March 16 stay-at-home order, Lucero Romero learned she was out of work. As YMCA's after-school program site director at KIPP Valiant Community Prep School in East Palo Alto, Romero had her hours reduced to zero because schools across the Bay Area announced they were shutting down.

Soon, the same thing happened to her mom, who works as a house cleaner.

"People were canceling, one house at a time," Romero, 23, said on Wednesday. "They would call her saying, 'Sorry, but don't come right now.'"

Then her dad, who works in construction, was given notice.

"My dad was unsure of his job. But then the next week, he only worked Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday, he came home and he says, 'I'm officially, not working.'"

And, finally, her 20-year-old sister, Evelin, was told by her employer the East Palo Alto nonprofit Nuestra Casa she'd have to start working fewer hours.

Though the shelter-in-place order, first implemented by six Bay Area counties and quickly followed by the statewide mandate, applies to all Californians, it has affected families unequally across the class spectrum. And for many like Romero, the potential harm is slowly settling in.

"We have a little bit saved that we can use," Romero said. "But what's going to happen when we're using the money that we're supposed to be saving in the future, if we can't return to work anytime soon?"

Living in East Palo Alto with a family of six, including two younger siblings a brother in eighth grade at Ravenswood Middle School and a sister who's a freshman at East Palo Alto Academy Romero's household is unlike the traditional nuclear family where a couple supports their dependent children.

Ever since she got her first paying job a few years ago, Romero evenly split the bills with her family with Evelin following suit when she started working at the nonprofit. Fortunate enough to be able to rent a two bedroom, one bathroom, apartment for $1,500 in a complex where some families are paying $2,600 for a similar unit, Romero's family has long supported themselves without significant government assistance with the exception of programs such as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), of which Romero and Evelin are recipients.

But Romero's situation isn't an outlier. At Palo Alto's Buena Vista Mobile Home Park, Francisca Vazquez, 24, also will need to take a hard look into her family's savings to see how long they can last without any income flowing into the household of six her mom, her mom's husband, a younger sister who's home from San Jose State University, and her 4-year-old and 3-month-old siblings.

Her mother, a floral designer, and her mother's partner, a chef for a Google company, have been bringing in the income, but they are unable to work during the pandemic.

"We're trying to make do with what we have," Vazquez said on Tuesday. "The first rent is due in a week or so, so we're seeing how much money we have to see if we can pay the first month's rent."

Her predicament is shared by many vulnerable families, according to Tomas Jimenez, professor of sociology at Stanford University, who focuses on immigration, social mobility and racial identity.

"Anytime you have one of these major events, it not only highlights the inequality it exacerbates it," Jimenez said. "The people who are already teetering on the edge of economic insecurity or even health insecurity are the ones who are most affected."

Romero has experienced severe financial strain before. When her father underwent brain surgery and later slipped into a coma during a time when he was the sole financial provider, she and her mom learned how to pull their resources together and survive.

But the COVID-19 crisis has been an unprecedented hit to the household. And given that a timeline for the pandemic doesn't exist, families like Romero's and Vazquez's will have a hard time determining what their long-term plans should be.

"I literally just found out today that school closures were going to get extended to May 1," Romero said. "Thinking of so many things and how we're going to figure this out it's just hard."

Lauren Griffin, a data manager at the Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality, said that studies have shown how vulnerable individuals are prone to focus on the short-term during times of survival.

"That mentality, I think especially during a global pandemic makes a lot of sense," Griffin said. "It's not that there's not an ability there or a desire to think long-term, but it's just not possible when you're focused on surviving.

"And I think that's part of the way that we think as Americans as well. It's hard to zoom out from these kinds of individual-level solutions to more long-term structural solutions."

To mitigate the economic impacts of business closures and the stay-at-home order, county and city officials across the state are implementing temporary policies that relieve families from some financial stress caused by layoffs or furloughs.

On March 23, Palo Alto City Council passed a law that prohibits landlords from evicting tenants who've been impacted by the coronavirus, providing residents 120 days to pay off their rent after the city's state of emergency is lifted.

"I heard the city's not going to make us pay rent," Vazquez said. "But we just got this note from the new owners of the mobile home park saying that we have to pay on time. If anything, it said that if we had trouble paying it go talk to them at the office to see what they can do to help us out. But we'll see how it goes. Hopefully they're more understanding."

On a national scale, U.S. Senate leaders came to an agreement on Wednesday for the final version of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (or CARES Act), which includes a historic $2 trillion relief package. Part of the funds will go toward direct payments of $1,200 to eligible, individual Americans. However, undocumented immigrants, such as Romero's parents, would not be eligible, and it's unclear if DACA recipients like Romero are included in the stimulus bill.

"Everyone's talking about whether the government is really going to help us; is the president really going to give us the money that we need?" Romero said. "I wonder about that, too. Is he going to forget about us?"

On Thursday, the Santa Clara County Public Health Department identified 83 new cases of the coronavirus, with a total of 542 reported cases and 19 deaths. San Mateo County on Friday announced a provisional total of 239 people who have tested positive for COVID-19 and six people who have died from the disease.

"We don't really know what the fallout is going to be," Jimenez said. "We certainly don't know what the fallout is going to be in terms of people's physical and mental health."

A group of Stanford University students, in partnership with local school districts and nonprofit organizations, have created a digital map with detailed information about where local children can access free meals during the school closures in 10 Bay Area counties. View it here.

For low-income families, sheltering in place is taking a heavy toll - Palo Alto Online

Sandra Hassink, M.D., has been studying childhood obesity for more than 30 years. And the most important thing shes learned applicable to kids and grown men alikeis this: All the willpower in the world, she says, cant overcome an obesogenic environment."

In other words, to lose weight and keep it off, you have to adjust your world so its not constantly tempting you. Instead of putting yourself on a diet, put your environment on one.

You cant make good health decisions if your environment is always working against you, because then you have to be on alert 24-7, says Dr. Hassink, founder of the Nemours Weight Management Clinic in Wilmington, Delaware. You get tired. Things come up. Its hard to [be successful] without creating a healthy environment in the first place.

With the help of Dr. Hassink and other weight management experts, lets start fat-proofing your world.

Like lint on a black sweater, unhealthy foods and snacks can accumulate in your home without your realizing it.

Pie from the church bake sale, caramel popcorn from the Boy Scouts, a pork-kraut roll from Mom. And before you know it, youre shoveling it into your mouth. Start the workweek fresh by taking a few minutes to rid your kitchen of crap and shake the airline stroopwafels out of your briefcase.

Its amazing how much food can creep in, Dr. Hassink says. If you dont have the heart to toss Moms signature dish, just divide it into smaller portions to freeze and reheat later. And dont get doggie bags at restaurants anymoreunless theyre actually for your dog.

As if Mark Zuckerberg doesnt have enough reason to feel guilty, Facebook could also be insidiously filling you out. If certain friends and family members are constantly sharing food porn and decadent recipes, their posts could be fattening up your space.

How much time are you spending on those posts? Take notice if you find yourself getting hungry just looking at them, Dr. Hassink says.

If you are, then hide, snooze, or unfollow the worst offenders. Likewise, trade all those craft breweries and barbecue joints you follow for sites that deliver positive reinforcement, such as @mealprepdaily, @wickedhealthy, @besmarteatsmart, and Mens Healths very own @guygourmet.

A common belief is that eating healthy costs a lot. Not true, says Adam Drewnowski, Ph.D., director of the University of Washington Center for Public Health Nutrition.

Research shows that the healthiest dietsones rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, and nutscost only $1.56 more per day (thats $10.92 per week) than the least healthy dietsprocessed foods and meats, refined grains.

In fact, stocking your world with nutritious choices neednt cost anything extra. Swap the ten bucks youre currently dropping on cold cuts, bread, and chips for a pound of fresh strawberries ($3.99), an avocado ($1.50), a bag of romaine ($2.60), and two single-serving containers of Greek yogurt ($1 each).

Drewnowski calls this an economic intervention, a conscious spending of $1.56 a day on healthy foods instead of fattening, carb-filled ones that will pay off with gradual weight loss.

Diets fail because guys make too many changes too suddenly and try to do it all on their own. So try getting everyone in the family to agree on voting one junk food out of the house each month.

Eliminating sugary drinks is an obvious place to start. Sugar-sweetened beverages add a lot of unnecessary calories to our lives, and they are not nutritious, says Dr. Hassink.

If anyone balks at the idea, suggest tapering consumption week by week. Then next month, after youve lost your taste for sweetened beverages (and you will), boycott another unhealthy food. The support of other people makes it easier.

Whether youre on the road for business or vacation, youll get more exercise and burn more calories if you skip the car rental and stay in a hotel or Airbnb in the center of town, where you can safely walk everywhere.

Nutrition and activity are not just sideline things we do, but health-building or health-losing activities, Dr. Hassink explains. Every decision you make about eating and activity is a health decision.

Request that the mini-fridge in your hotel room be emptied before check-in. This removes any possibility that youll give into temptation and wake up in a bed full of Toblerone wrappers and tiny liquor bottles. Pack (or shop for) your own healthy snacks instead and pop them in the fridge.

When you step up to the reservations counter, ask the rep if you can be downgraded. Thats right. A bigger rental may increase your risk of supersizing your meals and drinks on the road. Its simply more comfortable and convenient. Think about it: If the cupholders can easily accommodate a Big Gulp, so can you.

It sounds counterintuitive for weight loss, but the moment this happens is the moment you become more likely to go out and order the Mini Corn Dog party platter at Buffalo Wild Wings. So keep that refrigerator at least looking full, says Judy Simon, R.D.N., of UW Medicine in Seattle.

Buy enough fruit, vegetables, and lean meats to last for the week, shop twice a week, or set up regular delivery with your local supermarket. Or simply pull your food to the front of the shelves to create an illusion of plenty.

If you often succumb to temptation and stop for, say, a Grande Caff Mocha at Starbucks on your way to work, consider changing your route. That drink, even when made with 2% milk, has 360 calories, 15 grams of fat, 44 grams of carbs, and 35 grams of sugar.

Add a blueberry muffin and youve just turned breakfast into a gut bomb. Keeping your kryptonite out of sight will make it less convenient to pull in and indulge there.

Specifically, the hour or two after work ends and before dinner begins is a weak spot for many men, says Simon. Make sure youre nowhere near a happy hour with free appetizers or an ice cream stand with a drive-thru during these times. Stash your favorite protein bar in your car in case of emergency.

Dont spend your weekends or evenings watching the Food Network or sports programming with lots of food and beverage advertising.

When the food shows and ads are streaming, the temptation to overeat tends to increase, says Dr. Hassink. Try watching something less food-centric (or leaving the room during commercials) and see if your cravings dont subside.

Every meal cant be home-cooked. Occasionally lifes challenges will force you to eat out or order takeout. But dont let that decision be impromptu. Instead, do your homework ahead of time and pick a safety restaurant or two near home with some nutritious choices (or at least a cook willing to broil instead of fry and who knows what light cheese really means).

Think of this spot like your grandparents viewed their local diner, but healthier. Researching tip: Eliminate any place with the word loaded on its menu.

To keep from filching Easter baskets or Halloween treats, buy candy just one day before the holiday. Buy only as much as needed, and then immediately get rid of leftovers. The less time sweets linger in the house, the less likely youll be to eat them.

And above all, never volunteer to be the dad who loans his garage to the Girl Scout troop for cookie storage.
