Burn 700 calories a day weight loss

The practice of intermittent fasting has been gaining traction in recent years as an effective way to stimulate weight loss . It’s supposed to help make the body more efficient in how it burns and uses fuel, rather than forcing it to lose weight. The idea is to go without food for a prolonged period of time – say, 14 hours – to force your body to start devouring fat. It takes up to about five hours for the body to finish absorbing and digesting and after that period, it goes into a ‘post-absorptive state’, which lasts up to 12 hours after your meal. That’s when you enter a fasted state – and it’s then that your body finds it easier to burn fat because your insuline levels are low. Whether or not it works, well…there are arguments both for and against taking up intermittent fasting. But if you do want to give it a go, there’s some new research that suggests you should probably stop eating after 3pm to have the best chance of dropping the kilos. Researchers from … [Read more...] about Revealed: the best time to stop eating if you want to maximise weight loss

Counting calories is hardly anyone’s favourite pastime. Can you take CBD when you're on antidepressants? What you need to know Though if you really need to lose weight, it’s been considered a necessity for years and the only way of effectively shedding pounds. But according to new research, strict counting might be no more effective than – increasingly popular – fasting diets, in which you eat 500 calories every other day while eating normally on others. The most famous version of these being the 5:2 diet , in which two days are fast days and the remaining five in the week ones in which you can eat normally. A randomised clinical trial at the University of Illinois in Chicago has found that people who take part in fasting diets lose about the same amount of weight as those who do strict calorie counting. Involving 100 obese adults, the study observed the effects of alternate-day fasting on weight maintenance and cardiovascular disease risk. One group took … [Read more...] about Fasting every other day could be as effective as calorie counting, a study has found

Go onto fitness Instagram and you’re bombarded by influencers telling you how much better their gains are now they’re eating more. They look incredible, obviously. And yet…they seem to be eating umpteen hundred more calories than we are. It seems unbelievable that someone can look so much more toned when they’re eating way more. But they have a point. Sometimes you really do need to up your calorie and nutrient uptake in order for the body to metabolise better. Consistently undereating can obviously lead to weight loss, but if you’re exercising regularly, it can also prompt the body to start clinging on to whatever nourishment comes its way. Your muscles stop growing and fat cells stay because the body is under so much stress. Our brains are clever things but when it comes to stress, they can’t differentiate what’s a psychological stressor and what’s a physical one; when you’re exercising like mad and cutting kcals, the body can react in a similar way to perceive … [Read more...] about How to calculate how many calories you genuinely need (you might be pleasantly surprised!)

From ages 15 to 20, I kept a calorie diary. I logged meals intermittently: I’d start out listing every calorie I’d eat throughout the day, down to the spoonful of milk in my coffee, then miss a couple of days and stop for a while, only to start the cycle all over again a week or a month later. It would sometimes be external factors prompting me to start again – feeling overwhelmed by school chores, a boy I had a crush on not liking me back, seeing a picture of Kate Moss on the teenage magazines I fixated over. You know, the usual. But more often, my cruel exercises of control over my own body were prompted by my obsession with calories, and my belief that my worth as a person – as a woman – directly correlated to the amount I consumed on a given day. One day I’d eat more than I intended to, which is easy enough when you intend to starve, and the counting would begin again. I lived by numbers on packets, numbers on spreadsheets, numbers I knew by heart and added up … [Read more...] about Calories on menus? Nothing can convince me that’s a good idea

Eating normally for five days a week and taking in just 500 calories (600 for a man) for the other two sounds like the perfect diet. But a number of health experts say it’s just a fad. The 5:2 diet is a form of intermittent fasting and claims to promote weight loss and other health benefits, including giving your digestive system a break and reducing the growth hormone that leads to ageing. However, former professional athlete Richard Phillipps, founder of Embody Fitness (www.embodyfitness.co.uk), says 5:2 is just another excuse for poor nutritional habits. ‘Although there’s some evidence to show that 5:2 can help you to lose weight in the short term,’ he says, ‘a diet such as this isn’t sustainable in the long term and might have serious health implications further down the line.’ ‘More importantly, though, is not considering the long-term health implications of consistently eating the wrong foods on your normal days,’ he adds. ‘Being allowed to regularly consume … [Read more...] about Fast or feast: Is the 5:2 diet all it’s cracked up to be?

There’s a lot of misconception around eating disorders and the noticing of signs or symptoms of one. Bulimia nervosa is one disorder that is frequently misinterpreted, especially within the film industry. You often see actresses playing the role of someone who suffers with bulimia, but I feel they don’t portray all aspects of the disorder. Often the actresses are extremely thin and exercise freaks; women who control every aspect of their life and feel the need to also control their food. Women who are seen to be throwing up after every plate of food – if they are ever actually eating a plate of food – and women who choose to live off a couple of nuts a day. I can’t help but feel the film industry just got it so, so wrong. Of course, some aspects in films like Kate’s Secret are correct, but I feel they were not perceived in the correct light. I think it’s important to address a few things that are often missed out among people’s perceptions of bulimia. Here’s some … [Read more...] about The most important, truthful things you should know about bulimia nervosa
