SHE may be 50 but Jennifer Aniston has the body of a woman half her age.

And the Friends star, who made her debut on Instagram last week, has now revealed the secret behind her fantastic figure - intermittent fasting.

4

Jen says she uses the 16:8 fasting diet, which means she eats for eight hours of the day, while fasting for the remaining 16 hours.

She said: "I do intermittent fasting, so no food in the morning.

"I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours."

Studies say the diet will help shed the pounds without causing you to starve yourself.

Researchers found that those who followed the time-restricted eating diet consumed fewer calories, lost weight and had improvements in blood pressure.

It is also said to help reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease, lower cortisol levels (ie. Eliminate stress) and reduce inflammation.

Jen previously admitted that she also likes to stayin shape with daily yoga, boxing, cardio and meditation sessions.

I do intermittent fasting, so no food in the morning. I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours

She said:"I feel really beautiful when I finish a great workout.

"Because I've taken care of my body, my endorphins are going, my blood is pumping. I'm taking care of the one body I have.

"I have a spin bike, an elliptical bike and a treadmill and I do cardio for at least 20 minutes a day. Even that short burst makes a difference.

"Of course I take days off. It's important to rest the body.

"I can go a whole week saying, 'I'm not going to work out'. Your body will tell you what it needs."

However, she says the key to staying in shape is happiness.

She added: "It's hard work, you know. You work out, you just take care of yourself and you exercise.

What is the 16:8 diet?

The 16:8 diet allows you to eat for eight hours of the day, while fasting for the remaining 16 hours.

Known as intermittent fasting, it is believed to be one of most popular dieting plans out there at the moment, and appears to be effective for most dieters.

It helps to keep to a healthy diet for the eight hours you can eat so as to get the most out of the plan.

The diet stems from the book 8 Hour Diet by author David Zinczenko and editor-in-chief of Mens Health Peter Moore.

They suggest that a longer fasting time between eating gives the body the time it needs to process the food and burn away extra fat stores.

This diet doesnt suggest you cram all your food into an eight-hour window.

Instead, it encourages the consumption of balanced foods that can burn fat and boost overall health.

Experts suggest dieters opt for lean meat, eggs, dairy, vegetables, nuts and beans each day during their eight hour window.

For the remaining 16 hours, dieters can consumer water, tea and coffee.

"You eat right, you sleep, you're happy.

"Happiness is the big key. My dad is 100 per cent Greek, he barely has a wrinkle. "Neither did my grandmother, who was 95 when she died. My life is a happy life. It's a choice."

Jenniferused to moan that her bum wobbled, saying it "has a tendency to go right and left and I'd like it to go up".

But after hitting her half century, she has stopped putting so much pressure on herself and learned to love her body.

She says: "When we're kids, we are constantly working out for smaller arms, a leaner butt, a flat tummy. Let it be. I can be a little soft."

Jen made the revelation about her 16:8 diet while speaking to Radio Times, alongside her The Morning Show co-star Reese Witherspoon.

And Reese admitted she turns to Jen for advice on health and fitness.

She added: "I just have a green juice and a coffee in the morning.

arrots are brimming with nutrition, to yield maximum benefits you need to prepare them right

Highlights

It's that time of the year again. The nip in the air is making us tend towards all the seasonal delights that are on offer. One of our most favourite winter veggies is carrot. Crunchy and healthy, carrots are mildly sweet in taste and can be tucked into raw. You can also use the veggie in a multiple delicacies. And the moment we mentioned carrot delicacy, we are sure half of you pictured a smoking hot plate of greasy gajar ka halwa! But what if we tell that you can make a whole lot of healthy desserts with the winter vegetable? Yes, you heard us. Carrot in itself is a storehouse of nutrients and there are ample reasons to include it in your winter diet.

Carrots are loaded with vitamin A and lutein, both of which help restore eye health and improve eyesight.

The dietary fibre present in carrots helps facilitate smooth digestion. Fibre adds bulk to the stool, which aids bowel regularity.

According to the book 'Healing Foods' by DK Publishing House, carrots "contain a form of calcium easily assimilated by the body that may help lower 'unhealthy' (LDL) cholesterol levels."

Carrots are high in potassium that helps stabilise high blood pressure.

The crunchy vegetable is packed with antioxidants that help fight free radical damage, boost immunity and prevent skin damage.

Carrots are also fairly beneficial for weight loss. If you happen to be on a weight loss diet, carrots make for an excellent low-cal and low-carb option. Carrots are profuse with good quality fibres. Fibre takes the longest to digest, and since they stay in your system for so long, you do not feel the urge to overeat or binge. This helps promote sustainable weight loss.

Alec Baldwin went from the guy who impersonates President Donald Trump to the talk show guest who drops his pants on The Tonight Show Sunday. (See the video above.)

Baldwin, appearing on a special post-Sunday Night Football episode with Jimmy Fallon, jabbed at the host for outfitting a stunt dummy of Baldwin with extra stomach padding on his Tonight Show birthday appearance in April.

You had to put like the added gut on the dummy? the Motherless Brooklyn actor asked Fallon.

Then came the unexpected reveal.

You wanna see how much weight Ive lost? Ready? My pants dont even fit me anymore, Baldwin boasted.

Baldwin unhitched his trousers and down they went, prompting Fallon to cover Baldwin with a placard.

Its not big enough, Baldwin quipped.

By the way, Baldwin has taken his pants off on the talk show circuit before to show that hes dropped a few.

Watch the fun above and stick around for Baldwins story of how Saturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels talked him into portraying Trump again this season via a Jedi mind trick.

JOSE ALSO showed off his shredded abs online as he plans to return to the UFC Octagon at bantamweight.

Former featherweight champion Aldo has dramatically cut weight in hopes of moving down to 135lbs.

The 33-year old has struggled with weight cuts before, leaving UFC president Dana White sceptical that he can drop another ten pounds to make the lower weight category.

White said: Aldo sent me a text telling me he wants to do this so we really havent talked about it.

But theres no way that kid can make 35 pounds. No way. You remember when he was the champ how hard it was for him to make 45 pounds? And hes not getting any younger.

So I havent even taken that serious. Love Aldo, I want to do what he wants to do but I dont think I want to see him try to cut to 35. I dont think thats going to be good for him.

Earlier this year, Aldo hinted at possible retirement, but ultimately signed a new eight-fight contract with the UFC in June.

With limited possibilities left in the featherweight division, the Brazilian has his sights set on a title fight against the bantamweight champion, Henry Cejudo.

Aldo told Combate: This is the new division I want to move to, and Im asking for the title shot right away. Thats what matters for me now.

Cejudo said hes open to (fighting) anyone, so Im open to that. I want the opportunity to fight against him and beat him.

Hes an Olympic champion, a great athlete, and I respect his history a lot. He deserves everything hes winning, he has his merits.

If the UFC thinks its a great fight, I think theyll want that, its a huge challenge.

Hes been talking after defeating (Marlon Moraes) that he was open to fighting big names. Since hes open, its the green light.

No title fight between the pair has been confirmed, but that hasnt stopped the Brazilian from dropping the pounds.

MMA reporter Ana Issa posted his dramatic physical transformation on Twitter.

Despite looking on top form, there are many health risks involved in weight cutting.

Khabib Nurmagomedov had to hospitalised due to weight-loss complications, and other fighters including Cris Cyborg struggle with the process.

This is because weight cutting usually involves extreme dehydration of the body, so Aldos dramatic weight-loss could be a cause for concern.

The motivation for Aldos dramatic weight-cut is the possibility of returning to the championship throne.

In 2015, he lost his featherweight title in spectacular fashion to Conor McGregor, after being knocked out in just 13-seconds.

Aldo has since struggled to bounce back since losing the belt, and in 2017 lost twice to the current featherweight champion Max Holloway.

His last fight was also a decision loss Alexander Volkanovski in May, 2019.

However, the UFC veteran has defeated some of the toughest opponents during his 15-year career including Frankie Edgar, Chad Mendes and Kenny Florian.

Ruiz Jr isnt planning a big body transformation (Picture: Getty)

Andy Ruiz Jr revealed he plans to be 10 pounds lighter when he takes on Anthony Joshua in their December rematch.

The WBO, WBA (Super) and IBF champion held a work-out ahead of the rematch over the weekend and was visibly slimmer than when he weighed in for the first fight in June.

Much has been made of Ruiz Jrs recent attempts to lose weight, but the 30-year-old denied it would be a drastic transformation.

I kind of wanted to be a little heavier because Anthony Joshuas big, I wanted to carry his weight, take the punches well but I think being 10lbs lighter, Im going to be a better fighter, Ruiz said.

Ruiz Jr showed off his now famous hand speed in the work-out and has been based in Guadalajara training at high altitude.

The champion explained he and his team were determined to improve his cardio.

As boxers, we have to sacrifice being away from our loved ones, and being over in Guadalajara was something different. They had me locked in the cage so I can be an animal inside of the ring. I think that was Mannys plan, but it was a good idea though. Hes going to have some tricks up his sleeve, but so are we, Ruiz said at a press conference after the work-out.

It was pretty hard at first because the altitude was pretty high.

We were running in the mountains and doing a lot of different drills. All of the hard work we did in Guadalajara will show.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B33mVBqlDE-/

Ten pounds isnt going to make any difference, if anything its going to make me stronger, its going to make me faster, especially because hes going to be running around.

I think hes going to be trying to win by points and my job is to cut the ring and do what we got to do and let my hands go, its exactly what we been training on in the gym.

Weight loss tips: Overweight men were found to burn more fat when the exercised before having breakfast

If you have ever wondered about what is the right time to exercise for weight loss, then you have landed at the right place. A new study found that overweight men can burn more fat if they exercised before having breakfast as compared to exercising after having breakfast. Exercising before breakfast was also found to be linked with improved insulin receptivity, blood sugar regulation and reduced risk of heart disease and diabetes. Published in Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, the study found that for overweight men, exercising before breakfast can double your ability to burn fat.

As part of the study, researchers from the University of Bath and the University of Birmingham divided men into three groups- those who exercised before breakfast, those who exercised after breakfast and those who made no changes in their daily routine.

Conducted over a period of 6 weeks, the study found that men who exercised before breakfast burned twice the amount of fat as compared to men who exercised after breakfast. Men who burned more fat were also found to have stored fewer carbs to burn for energy. This made their bodies resort to fat instead of carbs as fuel for energy during exercise. However, there was no link found between timing of exercise and amount of weight loss.

As mentioned earlier, researchers also found that exercising before breakfast had a better response to insulin and blood sugar regulation. Thus, exercising at this time of the day could be beneficial for your heart health and diabetes control.

It has to be noted that scope of the study remains to be limited as it is not clear whether the same results would imply to any group other than overweight men. More research is definitely needed to testify the benefits of exercising before having breakfast.

We are simply trying to infer here that you must exercise, no matter what time of the day you choose to exercise. Everybody has different schedules and eating patterns, and on the basis of that, you should devote at least 150 minutes in a week (for moderate intensity exercise) or 90 minutes in a week (for high intensity exercise). Following are other tips you should follow:

1. Try to workout for minimum 4 days a week and aim towards exercising for 5 days in a week since the very beginning.

2. Do not do copycat workouts and train under a qualified fitness expert. Every individual responds differently to different exercise regimes and you will not get the same results as someone else is getting doing the same workout. Train under a qualified fitness expert.

3. Make sure you include strength training in your fitness routine. While cardio exercises will help you lose weight, strength training exercises will help in improving insulin sensitivity, building muscles and improving your strength and stamina.

4. Get proper nutrition, sleep well and take less stress. How you respond to exercise is hugely dependent on these three very important factors.

5. Take sufficient rest. After having accomplished the goal of exercising for 5 days in a week, make sure you have two good rest days. Rest and recovery are as important as regular exercise. It helps your body heal and reduces risk of cramps and injuries.
