Intermittent fasting isn’t working? Try these 5 tips to lose weight

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
Nutritionist shared a post about intermittent fasting and how it could harm the body.   Intermittent fasting (IF) has been one of the most popular diet plans for decades. It involves fasting for a number of hours and eating only during a certain window in the day. There are many forms of doing IF, such as restricting the number of hours to eat and fast. While many IF experts suggest that this eating pattern involves altering a person’s lifestyle rather than just what to eat healthily. But it doesn’t work for all. Celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar shared an Instagram post about IF and how it could harm the body. “Diets don’t work because they are not sustainable, are restrictive in nature, don’t take into account the food systems of your region or daily practicalities of life, etc. Focus on developing good habits for good health and sustainable weight loss. Keep it simple and common sensical with food,” the expert wrote in the caption. In the post, she added, “Weight loss during fasting comes from losses in muscle, bone density, etc.”   View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rujuta Diwekar (@rujuta.diwekar) She quoted the latest research about IF […]

5 ways to live a healthier lifestyle

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
Maybe you think you know all the ways to live a healthier lifestyle. You take the stairs instead of the elevator, skip desserts and go to the doctor when you are sick.   But we can all do better. Here are some ideas to jumpstart new habits.   1. Diet. Eat plenty of fresh, non-processed foods, drink 64 ounces of water every day, and limit caffeine and alcohol intake.   2. Exercise. Get 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity weekly, or 30 minutes most days. Also get two-to-three 20-30 minute sessions of strength-training per week, focusing on major muscle groups.   3. Sleep. Try to get 7-8 hours every night and try to keep a regular sleep-wake cycle – go to bed and get up at the same time every day.   4. Socialization. It reduces stress and anxiety and improves mental functioning – and that helps guard against depression, heart disease and dementia.   5. Have a primary care physician. Annual visits are important for all ages because they are intended to detect disease early, before it leads to serious consequences. These are really the basics, the foundation for good health.

Losing weight is about more than what you eat   Now you can have your (rice) cake and eat it too. It is possible to lose weight and keep it off — who says you can’t have both? Registered dietitian Nicole Hopsecger, RD, LD, shares six tips for losing weight while maintaining your health.   6 tips for losing weight and keeping it off   Restrict calories in a tailored program. Not all calories, or bodies, are the same. The right diet for weight loss can be different combinations of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. “I personalize a patient’s diet, and work with them on an ongoing basis so that I can adjust based on their personality and what is medically correct for them,” says Hopsecger. Realize that a restrictive diet is a temporary measure. Restricting calories is only the first step and not a permanent solution. Once you lose weight, you should switch to a more moderate calorie intake balanced with regularly scheduled exercise activity. Reach out for support. If you have enough discipline and self-support to maintain your diet plan, that’s great. “I also recommend group support, as it’s been found to provide long-term success,” says Hopsecger.
