BALTIMORE For the first time all season, the Ravens defense, not the offense, had to carry the teams weight.

With the game tied at zero through the first quarter, and after a rare Justin Tucker missed field goal, the Ravens defense was forced to hold the fort long enough for the offense to get going. And once the offense found its stride, the defense didnt let up.

The Ravens defense held MVP-candidate Deshaun Watson at bay all afternoon long en route to another 30-pointwin, a 41-7 romp, at M&T Bank Stadium over the Texans.

I feel like were hitting our stride, especially with the defensive side of the ball, defensive tackle Chris Wormley said. The offense has been playing well all season and were finally clicking on all levels. Today felt pretty good being the side of the ball that got us going.

Baltimore finished with a season-high seven sacks and had 10 quarterback hits on Watson. For the entirety of the afternoon, the Ravens kept Watson in the pocket and unable to throw downfield with any consistency. The end result was the best defensive performance of the season.

Just try to contain him, keep him in that cage, Tyus Bowser said of the gameplan. Just try to get to him as best you can. They have a great front line, and we did very well as far as in the secondary of making him hold the ball. When that happens, weve got to do our job on the front line and try to get to him and we did that well.

Bowser finished with two sacks, as did Matthew Judon. The sacks kept the Texans offense, which entered ranked eighth in the NFL with 26.4 points per game, down to just seven the touchdown came when the Texans trailed 34-0.

Watson threw for just 169 yards on 18-of-29 passing with an interception. Houston had just 232 yards of total offense and possessed the ball for just 23:41 of game time.

But the most impressive part of the day was the pass-rush for the Ravens, who entered with just 16 sacks on the season.

It was part of the plan, Wormley said. We worked it all week and we stuck to it. No one was selfish and trying to do their own thing and it worked out pretty well for us.

Once the Ravens offense, which scored on its last seven possessions drives that didnt end the half or the game got going, the Ravens defense didnt let up, either.

Houston turned the ball over twice, punted three times and turned it over on downs three times throughout the game. The other two drives ended in a missed field goal and a touchdown.

The way the win happened was, admittedly, a bit shocking for the Ravens, which had to slow down DeAndre Hopkins and Watson, one of the NFLs best quarterback-wide receiver combos. Hopkins finished with just 80 yards on seven catches and the Ravens dominated one of the NFL's best teams from start to finish.

You just go out there and play the best ball that you can, Earl Thomas said. Today was a little surprising, I hope nobody on the team gets offended, but I didnt think we was going to do them like that. Just take it one game at a time and keep chopping wood.

With the Ravens defense seemingly having turned a corner, the Ravens can now seriously be discussed as one of the NFLs elite teams if they werent already.

Its a start contrast from where the defense was after the fourth game of the season, a 40-25 loss to the Browns where the defense couldnt get out of its own way. The Ravens fell to 2-2 and vowed to fix the communication errors which plagued the team for the first quarter of the season.

That loss to Cleveland on Sept. 29 was the teams last loss.

Wink (defensive coordinator Don Martindale) told us at the beginning of the week that this defense is 40 percent different than it was at the beginning of the season, Wormley said. So it just goes to show that our plan works, no matter who is in it.

With an injury to Michael Pierce, the Ravens relied upon Domata Peko and Justin Ellis, two defensive linemen who werent in the organization a week ago, to play crucial defensive snaps.

The Texans rushed for 6.1 yards a carry, but with the seven sacks, they were forced to play behind the chains for a majority of the day.

Its just what we do, Brandon Williams said. Its what we hang our hats on next man up. We've said it from the very beginning. Look, people get hurt, youve seen it. But, other people are coming in and balling out. We love to see that.

In three of the last four weeks, the Ravens have now earned victories over Russell Wilson, Tom Brady and Deshaun Watson. In none of those weeks have either quarterbacks scored more than 20 points against the Ravens.

While the offense hung 41 points, with a quarterback in Lamar Jackson seemingly gaining more MVP hype each day, Sunday was about the defense.

And while it may seem that the offense is the reason that has made the Ravens tick this season, its the defense which the Ravens will need most down the stretch. If Sunday is any indication, theyre going to be one of the toughest outs in the NFL.

Maybe theres no weak links? I dont know, Wormley said with a smile. We just talked about the offense started a little slow today, but our defense picked it up. When were beating these teams convincingly, especially these top teams in the NFL, its a good feeling.

Weight loss attempts are going up. Unfortunately, so is weight.

Despite a push in recent years toward a more body-positive cultural mindset, a new study found Americans are still increasingly pursuing weight loss, and to little avail.

Thestudy published this week in JAMA Network Open, found that while more US adults than ever before are attempting to lose weight, the nation continues to see overall increases in weight and BMI. The cross-sectional study examined trends in weight-loss attempts and strategies among 48,026 US adults between 1999 and 2016. The study ultimately found an increase in weight-loss attempts and strategies, despite a corresponding increase in weight.

The reported weight-loss methods included fairly standard tactics such as eating less, calorie restriction and exercise, as well as potentially more drastic strategies like skipped meals and laxatives. In examining these trends over the years, the study painted an interesting picture of cultural shifts that have taken place in recent decades when it comes to diet and weight-loss behaviors.

While nearly every method saw an increase in use from the first year of the study to the last, perhaps none is more significant than the leap in dieters attempting to lose weight by drinking more water. While only seven people reported drinking water for weight loss in 19992000, 1,370 said they tried the method in 20152016, which, as Vices Hannah Smothers pointed out, may reflect the influence of the catchall celebrity wellness advice to drink more water.

While the study didnt provide much explanation for the results it observed, researchers suggested people may be over-reporting their attempts to lose weight. Whether or not the reported increase in attempted weight loss is reflective of actual weight-loss efforts playing out across the country, the results reflect a nation increasingly stressed about body size despite recent cultural attempts to instill a more body-inclusive mindset.

Weight-Loss Attempts Are on the Rise. Why Aren't People Seeing Results? - InsideHook

There are plenty of controversial celebrities, and one of the relative newcomers is Bella Thorne. Thorne first attained fame through the Disney Channel but has since gone her own way and shes made her free-spirited attitude known. From releasing her own nude photos to getting involved in the adult film industry to creating provocative posts on Instagram, shes no stranger to fan backlash, either.

Thorne has made it clear shes unconcerned with the media hate, as shes branched out into the worlds of music, makeup, and filmmaking despite the negativity. While she certainly has plenty of fans who back up her endeavors, one of her Instagram promotions really missed the mark. Heres what she posted.

With over 20 million followers, Thorne has been posting her life to Instagram and attaining an audience for quite some time. But many of her artistic endeavors have missed the mark with her fans. In October, it was her Halloween makeup that startled her fan base. The star posted photos of her covered in makeup to make it look like her face was physically beaten, and many thought it was totally offensive to those in domestic violence situations.

Not only that, but other celebrities have called out Thorne, too. We cant forget when Whoopi Goldberg criticized Thorne for releasing nude photos to the public via Twitter. And when Thorne tweeted a complaint about traffic making her late for her boyfriends concert back in early 2018, Rob Lowe called her out since the traffic was a result of mudslides that killed at least 17 people.

This attitude is why people hate celebrities/Hollywood. Bella, Im sorry you were inconvenienced. We will try to move out our dead quicker, Lowe tweeted in response.

Aside from some of her more abrasive social media posts, Thornes partnerships are also causing an uproar. She took to Instagram to share a post of her in full workout gear doing a lower body challenge with no equipment. The top right corner of the post features the Flat Tummy logo, as thats the company Thornes paid to promote.

Thorne suggested to her followers in her Instagram caption that they should download the Flat Tummy App. I never have time to get on a real schedule but this is keeping me on track. Its got home workouts, meal plans, progress trackers.. EVERYTHINGG!! she wrote. You dont need expensive equipment or any of that stuff you just need this app.

Thorne is one of many influencers whos promoted Flat Tummy Co.s products. The Guardian explains the Kardashians, the Jenners, and hundreds of other celebs have all promoted the company, and Flat Tummy makes major money from Instagram, too. Unfortunately, the company uses its wellness brand to make cash off of womens physical insecurities and even ex-employees have spoken about how they wish they were never a part of it.

Thornes followers certainly arent happy with the post. A few called out that she had a naturally thin physique that clearly wasnt helped by the Flat Tummy App. And others were surprised to see Thorne in workout clothes since she appears to never workout otherwise.

One follower commented, i know you just want to get your coin but its not like youre on the brink of being homeless, i hope you actually use this app and please dont forget your morals.

Another wrote, I love your authenticity Bella but Im very disappointed with this.

And another added, disappointed youre promoting this tbh.

As stated before, Thorne is one of many promoters for this brand. While we hope she stops pushing weight loss products to her followers and instead pushes more authentic content, were not too surprised to see another celebrity give Flat Tummy Co. their attention.

Weight loss, particularly in the short term, is a simple case of calories in vs calories out. But once dieters start to hit the dreaded plateau, a more detailed approach is needed.

The time breakfast is eaten can impact on weight loss - so when is best?

Speaking to NDTV, dietician Kamal Yadav said: Having a wholesome breakfast can help you healthily lose weight.

What are the best foods to eat at breakfast time? Choosing the right mix of protein, fat and carbs will set dieters up for the best start and keep their weight loss on track.

This could be scrambled egg on wholegrain toast with spinach and a side of raspberries.

The protein and fibre in the breakfast will help fill dieters up while still maintaining a low-calorie count. It has been estimated that this meal has under 300 calories.

Instead of using thick, sweet sauces such as ketchup or brown sauce, dieters should use herbs and spices to add flavour and interest to meals.

At breakfast this could include chives, cinnamon, or chilli flakes depending on the dish.

If youre aReal Housewives of New Jersey fan, you definitely remember the days when alumCaroline Manzo ruled supreme or at least went head-to-head withTeresa Giudice on the reg. Nowadays, though, shes been focusing on family and staying fit and healthy, which seems a lot more drama-free. The RHONJ original spoke withLife & Style exclusively about the secret behind her slim new look.

Pretty much a plant-based diet, the 58-year-old exclusively revealed on the red carpet for BravoCon: Bravo All Stars OG Housewives Edition on November 15. Fruits and vegetables and I walk about eight to 10 miles a day. It all started last January, according to the Bravo OG. Its been almost a year, she confirmed.

Her reason, though, might make you tear up a bit. My granddaughter, she said. Because you love em so much and I was playing with her one day and I said, I gotta be around long enough for her to remember me and to know how much I love her. So thats why I took everything and changed everything I did, the way I eat and live and everything else. For my baby.

But just because shes found a bit of zen by way of her new lifestyle doesnt mean shes entirely without an opinion on Teresas bombshell comments. Her former costar alleged that she might have been the catalyst in husbandJoe Giudices arrest during the Joe and Teresa: Unlocked tell-all interview with Bravo boss Andy Cohen.

Im not going to fight it. If thats what she believes, youre not going to change your mind. Its just, its so beyond ridiculous that its not even worth a comment to it, she explained, adding that the comments were bizarre and that the 47-year-old was grasping at straws.

Believe it or not, Carolines heard it before. She said it before, she continued. I heard she said it on a reunion a couple years ago and I havent responded. Ive never because thats how crazy it is. But then this time it was just so in your face and those are big words and you have to be responsible when you say things like that. Thats why I had to respond to it, because it was just irresponsible on her part.

Some things never change, huh?

Caroline Manzo's Weight Loss Transformation Inspired By Granddaughter - Life&Style Weekly

In January 2018, Quantel Thomas made the resolution to go to the gym and lose weight. And while this is a promise that plenty of people make to themselves, Quantel had good reason to start taking his health and fitness seriously. He weighed 284 pounds and was suffering "constant aches and pains": when he visited a doctor, he was informed he had a high risk of some serious health conditions. "They told me I was pre-diabetic," he says.

Quantel had been overweight for a long time, as far back as the age of eight or nine. He played football in high school, but after having a seizure in his freshman year, he quit playing sports, and that was when his weight gain really began: he was 300 pounds by the time he turned 18 years old.

In 2017, he was still gaining more weight each month, and so at the start of the new year, he resolved to go to the gym as often as possible, and his workout regime soon included training six days a week.

"I really wanted to just get out of that tunnel," he says, although there was another reason too: "At first, it was just for attracting females, I'm not gonna lie to you... Who wants to be with somebody who's not confident in themselves, think they're disgusting-looking, ugly... People don't like hearing negativity about themselves."

After one month, Quantel had already dropped from 284 pounds to 255 pounds. Within ten months, he was down to 180 pounds, having lost more than a third of his body weight.

In addition to reducing his body fat, Quantel has also been building strength through weights training (which has been scientifically linked to a reduced risk of diabetes). He can currently bench press 285 pounds, and deadlift up to 475 pounds. After his dramatic transformation, he now weighs in at 204 pounds as he continues to bulk up for his bodybuilding training. He is studying Exercise Science at college, and he intends to pursue a career as a personal trainer so he can help other people get "out of that tunnel" and feel better about themselves.

"To be able to love myself, that's the true, ultimate milestone achieved to this day," he says.

Mouna El Khoury at various points during her journey Image Credit: Instagram/@yallaketo

Thirty-seven-year-old Lebanese-North African expat Mouna El Khoury went from 104kg to 60kg over two years with her Keto diet.

Now the 174cm self-confessed food lover is 18 weeks pregnant with her second child and weighs 62kg. This is her story in her words - edited for brevity and house-style:

My weight-loss journey started when I was 13.I gained a lot of weight and then from there, I just got into cycle diets I would go into strict diet, lose weight, and then I would eat and gain it back.

Later, I faced health challenges;I had insulin resistance, I had Diabetes Type 2 when I was 18. I had a lot of hormonal issues after that I developed polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in my early 20s. So all of that contributed to my weight gain/weight loss. I just got confused in an unhealthy world, because its not so easy to find something that works for you and just maintain it as a lifestyle. That was really the thing whatever I was trying was not easy for me to sustain [it].

'It affected my mood'

Each time I would gain [the pounds], my weight wouldfluctuate from 74 to 89. Each time, I would go into a strict diet for a year, work out 5 days a week, no carbs, no sugar, no fat. Basically boiled chicken and broccoli. And you feel depressed, because you look around and say, 'this is not possible'. I tried also meal plans. And after a month or two I got fed up, because I always felt constrained.

Then in my late 20s I also had something called prolactinoma tumor on my pituatery gland its located close to the nerve and was pressing my gland. Then I started putting onweight as well.

I was young, I didnt care to take my pills seriously. And of course I dont recommend that but the only thing that I felt that made a huge difference was when I decided that I needed to focus on my food. At the time, for a year-and-a-half yes, I was on treatment but also no carbs, no sugar and all of that and my acute PCOS, it completely disappeared; my Diabetes, I was off pills; everything went back to normal. The reason I dont think I kept it as a lifestyle, I didnt have the maturity at the time to understand that when you find something that works for your health or your body, you cant just go back to your old habits.

The other thing is I didnt know yet about Keto, so I didnt know I could enjoy it like have a small piece of butter on my steak or avocados as much as I want like things like that that make it more enjoyable as a lifestyle.

Post baby weight

Fast-track, surgery of the tumour done, I went through twomiscarriages and then I got pregnant and like many women, sometimes we have post-partum, we are tired, its [often overwhelming] as a new mum, so I picked up a lot of weight. Through my pregnancy I think I gained 18-20kg, but then after delivery, I kept on gaining weight. I reached 104kg.

One year post-partum, at 104kg, I was in really a bad place, and I felt depressed. I was tired, just taking my son to playground was a hassle; I couldnt play with him. I was lethargic, I was exhausted. I just felt I couldnt go on.

The thing is, at the time, I was also tired of dieting.

One day I just broke down; I was washing my face I just fell down in the bathroom. It was that breaking moment of me just saying things out to myself and recognizing that I was not in a good place that made me want to find something that would transform my life. I was like I need inspiration, so I went to YouTube and I wrote weight loss, life-changing, and I came across Keto, [a high fat, less protein, low-carb diet].

It led me to Dr Eric Berg [who is one of one of the top ketogenic diet experts in the world]. I started watching his videos about PCOS, insulin resistance, big tummies and it was an eye opener for me everything that he was saying was something I had gone through.

Starting on Keto

I love food. So when I sawKeto food, I was like, 'where have you been all my life?'

At the beginning, I was not thinking healthy Keto, I was addicted to all the fast-food. I was like theres a solution for me to still enjoy these foods and lose weight Im in. I think its important that people realise that when you are at 104 or 140kg, and you are addicted to junk food and sugar and carbs. You cannot expect someone to have a piece of grilled salmon, and a bit of lettuce and go on with it.

The truth about Keto

1.You can be Keto and be extremely unhealthy and you can be Keto and be extremely healthy.2.You cannot know everything from day one, so its a journey, step one is finding ways that are low-carb, that are keto in your mind so you dont feel deprived3.Then you change it into a healthier version build up your choices4.This doesnt happen in a day or two this is a journey.

The first month was about Keto. Finding the thing that satisfied what I liked at the time and what I was craving. And that was mainly junk food. I lost 20kg the first 3 months.

Dealing with a sweettooth

From the beginning I was well aware that I needed to adopt new habits for a long lifestyle. I was addicted to sweet, sugar, chocolate, so what I did was a chocolate mousse. I came up with a recipe and every day I would have potful of it. For 10 months, I had the same dessert, because it would satisfy my craving, I know it was low in carbs, it was basically made of whipped cream. Its easy and it takes 15 minutes to do the whole week itll last. It was practical, simple and not breaking my bank. [Read till the end to get the recipe.]

Then I added intermittent fasting. [This] is amazing tool for weight loss, but good for so many other things [as well]. It resets your metabolism, it's good for your health. I did it one month within Keto -why? Because its easier to fast when you are fat adapted. You dont get as hungry as if you are running on carbs. When I started it I was having two meals a day. Big meals, and then I built it up, until I was ablewithin three months to go into one meal a day and I was into one meal a day for over a year and a half. But that works for me, because Im not the kind of girl wholl eat a little bit. When I eat, I eat. I enjoy big meals. I think its the combination of both Keto and fasting that gave me this amazing results.

Yes you can eat hummus on keto

People get confused about this hummus is a bean so how can it be Keto? The thing is to make hummus you fix the beans with olive oil, Tahini and lemon. Both olive oil and Tahini are good sources of fat, so it kind of balances out the dish in terms of carbs:fats intake. Its about thinking a bit smartly and logically about your choices. [That said, count your calories, so you don't get thrown out of Ketosis.]

Third month was about creating habits.The key point here is because on a keto diet, you start running on fat, you dont get cravings, that hunger, you dont feel that need to snack, if you do it properly, with time, your cravings go, completely.

[In the first three months I was down by 20kg]. 10 kg down next three months. Then another 14kg down in a year.

It became such a lifestyle that I wasnt really looking at the scale I knew that this is the right lifestyle for me.

Now, with my pregnancy I have incorporated a little bit of carbs into my diet so sometimes Ill eat a little bit of banana. Because with pregnancy your carbs need to be a little higher, but I dont go for donuts or anything. First I talked to my doctor. He said: rice, potatoes, pasta bring nothing to your kid, they just make you fat. Hes like, if you have a strong craving for it and you want a portion, go for it, but will it add any nutritional value to you? No. he said: eat as much as you want healthy stuff and youll have a healthy baby.

And thats what Im doing.
