PARK TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) The federal government is speeding up its processes to allow homeowners along the lakeshore to combat erosion more quickly.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has committed to a 24-hour turnaround time on permit requestsfor things like sea wall repairs and other changes to save homes threatened by erosion along Lake Michigan.

It allows homeowners to do these emergency repairs fast, Nick Bonstell, the director of emergency managementfor Ottawa County, explained Thursday.

Normally to get a permit, lakeshore have to get permission from their neighbors and go through a monthslong process. But the Army Corps has acknowledged that this is an emergency.

I dont think there is any question of the severity of what we have going on, Bonstell said.

Bonstell says he and other officials have been working diligently to contact people to go over plans to save their homes. Some are moving their homes farther away from the lake onto new foundations and others are building sea walls. Some are dangling dangerously close to the edge of bluffs.

If we do end up having to retrieve it from Lake Michigan, thats a pretty costly process and thats why we are really trying to work with homeowners to make sure they are getting it taken care of, Bonstell said.

With waters rising and beaches narrowing, there are no signs of the issue getting any better. Officials say that historically, November and December mean storms and that means more erosion.

The rapid rate of erosions is really whats catching a homeowners and a lot of people off guard, Bonstell said.

1986 was the last time we saw such a substantial loss along the lakeshore. Officials says this time, the erosion could affect utilities and septic system.

If you have a gas line that starts to pull away, you could damage the entire infrastructure of that service, Bonstell said of homes falling into Lake Michigan.

Sparse, sandy beaches mean a decline in tourism dollars.

For Ottawa County, obviously the visitors and the tourism that we see as a county is a pretty large portion of what we do here, he said.

Emergency officials stressed that people shouldnt take trips to the lakeshore simply to view the erosion. The sand is fragile and any additional weight and or movement could be dangerous.

Bonstells department is planning another flyover of the lakeshore in the coming days to get an updated assessment of the damage.

Its something that we will continue to watch. Obviously, we will get through it and find a way to respond to it and deal with it, Bonstell said.

Less than a month before he was scheduled to fight for the world title, a milestone he had dreamed about achieving for much of his life,Shakur Stevensonsuffered a terrible loss.

His father, Alfredo Rivera, died on Sept. 29.

Rivera was absent for much of his sons life, but the two reconnected when Stevenson was about 16 years old. Never, though, was there a total forgiveness and a full acceptance into each others lives.

There were old wounds that were difficult to heal. So while theyd spoken over the last six years or so, their relationship wasnt typical.

We had a little bit of a relationship, is how Stevenson put it.

Stevenson will fight Joet Gonzalez for the vacant WBO featherweight world title on Saturday (10 p.m. ET, ESPN+) in Reno, Nevada, in the main event of a Top Rank-promoted card. Stevenson, a silver medalist at the 2016 Rio Olympics, has the potential to be a breakout star.

Hes fast-handed and slick in the ring and his power is quickly developing. Hes so gifted that he held his own in a recent sparring session with pound-for-pound elite Vasiliy Lomachenko in Oxnard, California, in which the Top Rank brass was mesmerized.

Our matchmakers were blown away by how well Stevenson did, Top Rank president Todd duBoef said. They were absolutely blown away. It was like, Wow!

The fight with Gonzalez will be his biggest since he was beaten in the gold medal match by Cuban Robeisy Ramrez in 2016. Stevenson vowed that this time things will be different, but he faces a turbulent time.

Not only is he still grieving over the loss of his father and coming to grips with their relationship, but there are personal issues between Gonzalez and he that complicate matters.

Stevenson is dating Gonzalezs sister, Jajaira, much to the dismay of Joet, who is no fan of Stevensons.

Its all stuff that could be problematic for a boxer on the verge of a major fight, even one as talented as Stevenson.

Anything outside forces that come up on a fighter, the things that normal people deal with in their everyday lives, has the potential to be a distraction, especially for a fighter coming up on the biggest fight of his life, said former world champion Andre Ward, one of Stevensons co-managers. We wont know until the fight actually happens, obviously, but what Ive seen from our interactions and the things weve talked about, I think hes doing a phenomenal job dealing with it. Hes only 22 years old so I think hes taken a lot of stuff and kind of compartmentalized it.

He has some built-in defense mechanisms and he just presses forward. At some point, hell have to look at himself and his father and address it. Im guessing hell do that after the fight. The stuff with Joet, thats kind of out of a movie. I dont even know where to begin with that. But Im happy and pleased that he seems to be dealing with it the right away.

Asked if he was going to be able to perform at his usual level because hes grieving over his fathers loss, Stevenson took the conversation in an unexpected direction and said it impacted the way he felt about his father as he tried to deal with the pain he felt over his absence from his childhood.

If Im being honest with you, Im bipolar, Stevenson said of his relationship with his father. Im a bipolar type of person. Sometimes me and him would talk, and sometimes hed reach out to me and Id kind of shy away from him because I still had some anger inside of me. Im dealing with it well. Im hurting because thats my blood. Thats my Dad and I cant go and look him in the face, knowing hes not here no more. At the end of the day, he did love me and with my boxing, he loved what I became.

Story continues

Hes a brilliant talent who is good enough to be on the pound-for-pound list someday, and perhaps soon.

The issue for Stevenson is whether hed lost out-of-the-ring issues prevent him from fulfilling his potential.He was arrested after a brawl in Miamion his 21st birthday last year. In June,he pleaded guilty and was given a year of probation.

Its only a blip, but Ward, a notoriously clean person who was unusually focused, even as a young man, on what he needed to do, was not pleased.

Was I upset by that? Ward asked rhetorically. Oh man, absolutely. Absolutely I was upset. Myself, James Prince, Josh Dubin, we all co-manage him and its like a family. Its not just business. We talk to him about life. I dont want to say we saw that coming, but you see certain things. You live long enough and you see certain things and you kind of know where theyre going. Unfortunately, he went through that and the whole world saw it.

Im just happy with the way hes dealt with it. He cant undo what happened. People saw it, but hes facing it and dealing with it head on, just like hes doing with the situation with Joets family.

Stevenson insists hes on the right track and is focused fully on his career and getting past Gonzalez.

Gonzalez is no pushover and is himself one of the bright young prospects in the sport. That said, Stevenson has the opportunity to stand apart among the best fighters in the world given his talent.

Not only did he spar with Lomachenko, but hes been in with a number of other highly regarded established veterans, Ward said, and held his own. And Stevenson vows to make up for what he said was a slip-up in the Olympic finale.

I wont let myself down again, Stevenson said. That keeps coming up in my head. This whole time, I keep thinking about when I failed in the Olympics. Its motivating to me. I wasnt 100 percent. I think if I were 100 percent then, not giving myself any excuses, there was a lot going on around me. I was cutting weight and I had to cut a lot of weight, and things were happening leading up to that.

If I had been 100 percent and went into that fight that way, I honestly think I would have beaten him. But the thing its done, its helped me as I am ready for this fight. I know what to look out for. I got to to this point pretty quickly, but I have learned a lot along the way and I know I am ready for this moment. This is going to be my time.

Shakur Stevenson heads into title fight with heavy heart after his father's death - Yahoo Sports

Joe Giudice committed a felony, got sentenced to 41 months in jail and is about to be deported from the United States forever.

One can safely say the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member made a monumental mistake back when he lied to the government and defrauded his adopted country via an intricate and illegal bankruptcy scheme.

But there's at least a silver lining for Giudice:

He now looks great!

The reality star lost a crapload of weight while a warden of the state, proudly showing off his physique in a handful of new social media photos.

Check out the dramatic changes below and then ask yourself:

Is a stint behind bars worth it for this sort of figure?

Here he is on a 2012 episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, likely talking to Teresa about their scheme to defraud American taxpayers... while also looking pretty overweight.

He's holding hands with his wife in 2013 in this snapshot, walking into a courtroom for a hearing after his arrest.

As you can see here (also from 2013), Joe was always a bulky dude. But he has some muscle behind all those pounds.

That, we don't know. But we do know he weighed 215 pounds when he entered prison.

Joe is down to 165 pounds, posting videos of himself online doing kickboxing and other types of exercise.

Joe's kids have also been sharing snapshots of their thin and ripped dad, such as the one here.

Joe Giudice Lost a TON of Weight In Prison! Here's How He Did It ... - The Hollywood Gossip

Fasting has been hailed as the all diet Messiah, for some time now. Since this dietary method became a trend there have been numerous people that have gone to great lengths to test it, and even take it to the extreme. One thing is certain, this form of diet which sprung right out of religious history is here to stay.

Like any popular trend, fasting for weight loss has its fair share of detractors. Many admit that fasting over long periods can have a visible effect when it comes to losing weight. But that the method itself may be very detrimental to your health.

As fasting begins to gather more and more followers the methods it uses begins to diversify as well. The most common method remains the 16/8 fasting method. Anything beyond that can be considered long fasting, with periods extending from a couple of extra hours to 30 day fasting programs that use supplements to keep you alive. But what does this mean for you if you are among the men who have a regular gym attendance, or you are just planning your steps to a daily workout routine?

Well, workouts and fasting can go hand in hand. But they will not be the happiest duo out there.This change in your eating habits is bound to affect your blood pressure, energy levels and the way your metabolism works.

But how does long fasting affect you when it comes to your muscle mass? Is there really such a thing as mass gains while fasting? And what are the dangers and benefits of long fasting?

Well, you are going to read all bout that right away but first, lets take a look back and see where fasting began and how it has suddenly been reinvented into what appears to be the easiest and most effective diet plan in the world.

It varied in length and restrictions, from one religion to another and was considered a pivotal and sacred experience. In other words, its nothing new. Over time religions traditions changed and fasting periods changed with them. Yet somehow, unlike religion, fasting is now more talked about than ever.

For that, we have the United Kingdom to thank. Because it was here in 2012 that the modern type of fasting began. The intermittent fasting. And thus began the journey of fasting as a caloric restriction diet.

And because miracles are rarely interpreted in the same way, there are three types of fasting readily available: Alternate-day fasting, Periodic fasting and Time-restricted feeding. They are all based on the idea that restricting your food intake for a day or for a specific part of the day, will help you reduce the number of calories you consume, speed up your metabolism and ultimately lead to weight loss.

Hence the reasons why people started experimenting with the idea of fasting and going all out in search of the ultimate weight loss fasting diet. And the idea behind it is pretty simple. If intermittent fasting seems to work, a longer fast may actually be even better. It sounds like the ultimate battle against all cravings. But is it too good to be true? And will winning the battle over your cravings mean killing your muscle growth?

Even more so for people who take up weight lifting routines, or that already use body mass supplements in their training. Although the science behind it is only in the making, we can safely say that fasting will help you detox, lose weight and get rid of the excess water in your body. And that you can safely train while fasting. But how will it impact your muscles?

1. Protein loss

Long fasting makes your body gradually lose the very substance you need the most when trying to gain mass. You will lose protein gradually starting with the second day of fasting. And the explanation is simple. Your body needs to run on what it has stored. And that is either fat or protein. In the first couple of days, it will run on fat and then slowly supplement that with protein. The longer the fast the bigger the protein loses.

2. Muscle breakdown

Losing protein comes with an added bonus. Not only that your body will be depleted of its protein reserves, but it will soon cannibalize your muscles to get it. Your muscles are the biggest deposit of protein you carry around daily. So. like a scrapyard boss, it will start chipping away at those last formed, prime, muscle fibers you have been working so hard for.

3. Metabolism craze

Your metabolic rate will skyrocket in your first few days of long fasting. Over time the body will adjust to the frequency and length of your fasting sessions. But in the beginning, your higher metabolic rate will not only speed up the weight loss process but also the speed with which your body loses that all-important protein.

4. Your heart is also a muscle

Your body will have a tendency to burn fat to get energy and then add on some protein just for good measure. Well, your heart is one of those muscles that will be required to give up some of that protein. In the long run, your heart will weaken and your body will be forced to slow down your metabolism thus acting as a kill switch on weight loss.

5. Loss of minerals

Muscle doesnt just use protein to maintain or grow. If you really are trying to grow muscle you know how important magnesium, potassium and other minerals are to the entire muscle forming process. Long fasting periods mean that you will have lots of hours with no food intake, so water consumption will be bigger than your body is used too. That means that you will eliminate many more minerals than usual. Which is the opposite of good when it comes to muscle growth.

6. Low energy

Although your metabolic rate and your heart rate may go up at first, in time, you will experience a decrease in your energy levels. That is basically because long fasting brings about low blood pressure. And the decrease in blood pressure will deprive you of the energy you need to build muscles.

7. Vitamin deficiency

Long fasting is not only responsible for causing your body to lose minerals, you will lose plenty of vitamins as well. If you think you already saw this coming think again. Because among the vitamins that you are going to lose, none are more important than B12, D and C. The levels of these vitamins are among those that will be the most affected by your sudden change in lifestyle.

8. It will lower your morale

Training at the gym can be quite draining over long periods of time. Even more so, if you do not get adequate amounts of sleep and food when you are allowed to eat. Long fasting will upset your workout schedule and with it your mood. Gone will be the days when you had all that energy to go on and on. It is very difficult to balance out your training routine and your mood when you feel too hungry. And that will eat away at your morale.

9. It will give you a negative nitrogen balance

When fasting, the body will find it almost impossible to keep a positive nitrogen balance. Therefore even if you were to gain muscle mass, by upgrading your workout or using more protein shakes, you will not be able to hold on to your muscle gains. Nitrogen balance is the difference between nitrogen excreted from the body and nitrogen ingested in the diet. And your loss in natural protein intake will affect that balance.

10. It can substitute your muscles for fat

No, that doesnt happen literally, or overnight. But the longer the fasting diet is, the more likely you are to burn through your muscle tissue. Once you have decided that fasting does not go hand in hand with your goals of building your muscle mass, you will more than likely gain all your weight back. It's just that it is much easier for the body to store fat than to store muscle. So much of the weight you gain back will be made out of fat. It will be like chasing after two rabbits and catching none.

Fasting will bring some benefits to your workout regime. It will help you eliminate toxins and allow your body to slow down and rest for a while. But it is not the best when it comes to gaining muscle. To supplement the things on our list you must find a way to add more protein to your diet in the periods before and after your long fast, as well as supplement with personalized quantities of vitamins and minerals.

In the end, the investment may not be worth the effort and this diet may not be the one to support you on your way to your goals. And as any iconic man should know, staying focused on your goals is more important than temporary weight loss.

After Kaitlynn Carter posted a steamy selfie to Instagram on Tuesday, October 22, fans noticed that the 31-year-old was looking a little thin. Kaitlynn alluded that her recent weight loss is the result of her traumatic breakups from husband Brody Jenner and girlfriendMiley Cyrus.

Oh, Kaitlynn you look too thin, are you ok? commented a concerned fan. You are so beautiful hope all is okay. It was nice to see you healthy for a bit modeling. It was normal, it seems like the new norm is being shown as super thin.

I mean, Ive been through some st lately LOL, the blonde beauty replied to the user. Kaitlynn can be seen lounging on a plush white towel in a pink bikini. Her toned tummy was on full display as well as her stunning blue eyes and perfect pout. In real life, she captioned the photo with the location as Palm Springs, California.

In recent weeks, Kaitlynn has definitely gone through some st to say the least. Back in August, Kaitlynn andThe Hillsstar, 36, announced theirsplitafter five years together and one year of marriage. After tying the knot on Indonesia, the two failed to make their marriage legal in the states.

Kaitlynnquickly moved onwith Miley, 26, hours after she announced hersplitfrom husbandLiam Hemsworth. The beauties were spotted getting cozy on anItalian getawayin Lake Como. In the following weeks, Miley and Kaitlynn were inseparable and were seen at supporting one another. Miley was by her ladys side at her 31stbirthday partyand Kaitlynn was backstage at Mileys epicVMA performanceof Slide Away.

After only one month of dating, the two went their separate ways. Their romance didnt fizzle out,it just ran its course. Thats it, an insider toldIn Touchexclusively. Miley wasted no time moving on and is currently dating singerCody Simpson. Fans have speculated that Kaitlynnmight be a little saltythat Miley bounced back so quickly. One day after Mileybasically confirmedshe was going steady with the 22-year-old Aussie, Kaitlynn posted a photo with the caption THAT WAS WAY HARSH. As we all know, the iconic line comes from the 1995 filmClueless, but some thought there was a deeper meaning. Breakups are hard but youre handling yours with stride, Kaitlynn!

Smoothies are one of the easiest breakfasts you can make. But if you're trying to get leaner, registered dietitian Leslie Langevin, MS, author of The Anti-Inflammatory Kitchen Cookbook, told POPSUGAR, "an all-fruit smoothie wouldn't be the best idea, since it's a large dose of sugar coming at you at one time with not a lot of protein or healthy fats to satiate you or to prevent a huge spike in your blood sugar levels."

In order to create a filling smoothie that will help you lose weight, Leslie suggested this recipe formula:

Registered dietitians Stephanie Clarke, RD, and Willow Jarosh, RD, of C&J Nutrition added that your smoothie should aim to have:

Calories: 300 to 400Fiber: 5 to 10 gramsProtein: 13 to 20 gramsCarbs: 40 to 60 gramsHealthy fats: 10 to 15 gramsSugars: 36 grams or less

Sticking to this formula will create a satiating smoothie that ensures you get carbs, protein, and healthy fats. The carbs give you energy, the healthy fats and fiber will keep you full longer, and the protein will sustain your energy. To maximize your weight-loss potential, and to increase the protein, healthy fats, and fiber in your recipe, add these ingredients to your smoothies.

Rob Kardashian has been laying low these days after his relationship with Blac Chyna fell apart then turned physical. But this isn't the first time he's attempted to stay out of the public eye despite the fact that his family has become world famous. After his breakup with Cheetah Girls star Adrienne Bailon back in 2010, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star gained quite a bit of weight, then lost it, then gained it back again. But now, it seems as though he's trying to get back on track as he showed off his weight loss with sister Kim Kardashian.

In a video Kim shared to her Instagram stories from her birthday celebration Monday night, Kardashian was caught a few times looking much slimmer than he has in recent years. According to TMZ, the former Dancing with the Stars contestant is around 20 pounds lighter thanks to cutting out alcohol, reducing his fast food intake and choosing to workout. Sources also told the outlet that Kardashian is in a really good place mentally and is fully devoted to raising his daughter Dream.

The family celebrated Kim's 39th birthday by having a low-key family dinner catered by Carousel Restaurant popular for their Middle Eastern cuisine. The KKW founder was showered with gifts from her family, but something she said made her heart so happy was the fact that her husband Kanye West donated $1 million in their name to her favorite charities.

Kardashian recently took to Instagram to share a video of his other sister Kylie Jenner mouthing "rise and shine" after her new catchphrase went viral. His account hardly features behind the scene videos or photos of his family, rather promo teases or clips from the popular reality series, so fans were shocked to see him post the video of Jenner.

The billionaire went viral after singing the three words in a soulful sound during a recent video she pushed out to YouTube. The 22-year-old gave fans a full tour of the Kylie Cosmetics headquarters and towards the end she woke her daughter up from a nap singing "Rise and Shine" and not only did fans notice, but A-listers like Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande did as well.

Since then, she's not only allegedly filed several forms to get the words trademarked, but she's now selling merchandise on her online store that reads the phrase.

Rob Kardashian Shows off Incredible Weight Loss While out With Sister Kim - PopCulture.com

Time might be the finickiest member of diet science. The idea that when you eat is almost as important as how much you eat in regards to efficient weight loss is a relatively new development- a development that has become notorious for its lack of a final word. Metabolism and hormones are agents uniquely stitched by a wide array of factors like genetics and age. In any case, the latest postulation on their dietary import comes from a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism and it declares that eating breakfast after a workout can double the amount of fat you burn from your session.

Although the study pool was relatively small, the results achieved on their behalf promises exciting horizons for new effective ways to mitigate the obesity crisis.The authors that penned the report write, Pre-exercise nutrient availability alters acute metabolic responses to exercise, which could modulate training responsiveness.

Our results suggest that changing the timing of when you eat in relation to when you exercise can bring about profound and positive changes to your overall health. We found that the men in the study who exercised before breakfast burned double the amount of fat than the group who exercised after. Importantly, whilst this didnt have any effect on weight loss, it did dramatically improve their overall health, Explained Dr. Javier Gonzalez, who is one of the Department of Bath members that co-authored the new paper.

The study spanned six weeks and was comprised of 30 men medically classified as either obese or overweight. After recruitment, these men were further segmented into three groups. Two were intervention groups, wherein one pool of participants ate breakfast before their workout, and the other ate breakfast after their workout. The men in the control group made zero changes to their lifestyle. As stated previously, the men that engaged in physical activity before their first meal of the day burned considerably more fat than both the control group and the other intervention group.

Even though both intervention groups observed the exact same training sessions and calorie intake, the muscles of the group of men that ate after working out responded much better to insulin production. These men also expressed higher numbers of important proteins that transport glucose throughout the body. Whats more, the intervention group that worked out after breakfast were no healthier than the control that changed absolutely nothing about their diet or workout regimen by the end of the studys trial period.

Helmed by Dr. Rob Edinburgh, the new paper helps us better understand the role of metabolism and overnight fasting. When we dont eat anything in the evening, the following day were enabled to utilize the fat in our tissue for fuel during a workout session. This very specific weighthormone proof of principle is more easily animated with male models, but the researchers are determined to replicate these results with women in the very near future. Dr. Gareth Walls of the University Birmingham adds,This work suggests that performing exercise in the overnight-fasted state can increase the health benefits of exercise for individuals, without changing the intensity, duration or perception of their effort.

Fats are not only essential for our skin health, but also for cell repair and damage. Therefore, we cannot blindly rule out fats from our diet.
