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

The most important, truthful things you should know about bulimia nervosa
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

AN INTERIOR whizz has shared a list of the errors which will only make your home look cheap - and it's bad news if your walls are packed with kids' artwork. Taking to TikTok , a designer who is known as Interior By Krish, shared all the interior choices to steer clear of if you want your home to look stylish rather than tacky. In a short video, the guru shared a list of things to best give a miss to and explained in the caption that they will leave a cheap aftertaste.

I’m an animal expert – four things you must do to keep your pet safe during the heatwave
PET owners trying to keep their furry friends cool in the heatwave should pay attention to these tips. Experts warned Brits to stay inside this week to keep safe in the hot weather - and the same advice is in place for our pets. We spoken to Karen Heskin, the head of pets at Pets at Home, who revealed her top tips and tricks to keep your animals cool. She said: “It’s really important to have the right information and products to keep your pets protected, as warm and sunny weather can potentially be dangerous for them. “Dogs, for example, don’t sweat like we do - they cool themselves down by panting. "But on really hot days, panting isn’t effective and they need some help to cool down." Making sure there is plenty of shade and cool water around is crucial, but some extra cooling gizmos and gadgets can help too. Karen revealed her top tips to helping your pet through the heatwave: Keep them hydrated Whatever the weather, water bowls or bottles should be topped … [Read more...] about I’m an animal expert – four things you must do to keep your pet safe during the heatwave
Netflix released the trailer for ‘Sierra Burgess Is a Loser’ starring Shannon Purser of ‘Stranger Things’
Shannon Purser, who played Barb in Stranger Things , is returning to Netflix on September 7 in Sierra Burgess Is a Loser , a movie that sees her titular character texting her crush—only he thinks she's someone else. The trailer, released Wednesday, shows Sierra is a good student and Veronica (Kristine Froseth) is the popular girl. She also has the attention of Sierra's crush, Jamey (Noah Centineo). Sierra and Veronica's worlds collide when Jamey means to texts Veronica, but the messages go to Sierra's phone. Even though Veronica and Sierra don't get along in the beginning, they hitch a plan: Veronica will help Sierra catfish Jamey if Sierra helps her pass a class. "It's called catfishing, and I'm pretty sure it's illegal," Sierra's friend, Dan (RJ Cyler). "They're my words," Sierra argues. "He's falling for me." If you can't wait until September, there are other movies and TV shows that retell Cyrano de Bergerac and involve catfishing you can check out.
