Most of us at some point in our lives have tried something to lose weight. So we can relate to Monica Fair.

Ive always had this 12 to 15 pounds that I couldn't get rid of," said Fair, 47, who has experimented with trendy exercise programs and fad diets to no avail.

I never could lose the weight, said Fair. As a matter of fact, I would gain muscle which would push the fat out and make me look bigger."

It turns out the answer may be on the inside.

DNA testing

"We're looking at genes that are responsible for your body composition, said Kurt Johnsen, co-founder of a Dallas-based company called Simplified Genetics.

Hes a Kung Fu master, founder of American Power Yoga, and overall a pretty fit guy with a passion for helping others get healthy, too.

I'm not a doctor, I'm not a scientist, said Johnsen, who sat down with WFAA at Plum Yoga, along Dallas popular stretch of Lower Greenville.I want to make sure what we do makes a difference."

Since 2012, Johnsen says his company has tested the DNA of 11,000 people, analyzing genes to match you with the best type of workout, diet, and vitamins for your body.

This is the most revolutionary thing I have seen in over 35 years," said Leisa Hart, the blonde bombshell behindBuns of Steel. Now shes 49, a mom, and still a beautiful fitness trainer.

This is my job! I'm in good shape, said Hart, admitting that there is a side of her that the public didn't see.

Working out that often and that intensely -- my face would be red, my head pounding. I would have to take a nap many times throughout the week, she recalled. That was my body screaming at me saying -- please just slow down! You're not supposed to work out that hard that often."

Then Hart got genetic testing, which is really just a simple cheek swab. The swab is sent to a lab in Louisiana where your DNA is extracted and prepared for analysis. Results are put through algorithms that generate specific recommendations for you.

I found out that when I was working out intensely, I was working out at much too high of a heart rate and I was working out for too long of a duration, said Hart.

Based on her results, she actually needed to do less.

To the eye, 53-year-old Rosanne Lewis is similar to Hart. But her genetic makeup is completely different.

I stopped eating all this bread because I thought it wasn't very good for me. I started having nuts instead or I would eat cheese -- things I thought were healthier-- and I gained four pounds."

Lewis results showed she can get away with mostly low intensity exercise. But this type of DNA analysis goes deeper: identifying your idea diet. The bread-lover, Lewis, is more sensitive to fats than carbohydrates, meaning she can eat her bread and do yoga in peace.

I know now for the rest of my life what I'm supposed to do, said Lewis.

With people putting a lot of stock -- and money -- into these tests, we wanted to get a doctors take on them.

This is the start, at the very least, of something very interesting, said Dr. Leslie Cler, chief medical officer of Methodist Dallas Medical Center.

Dr. Cler told WFAA that this type of genetics testing has been on the market -- offered directly to consumers -- for a decade, but still is in its infancy.

Further, according to Cler, while different companies may get you the same results, their recommendations are open to interpretation.

I don't think these tests are recommending anything dangerous to the patients -- not at all, said Cler. But as a doctor, if you came to see me and you said, I heard about this test, if I get it do you think that I'd be likely to lose weight? The answer is -- I don't know."

Fair enough. But losing weight isn't always the goal. Remember Hart -- who scaled back on her workouts since getting her results?

I feel so much better, said Hart. I feel like I could actually do more but I don't have to.

Then theres Fair, who went from a size 10 to a size 6 after putting her results to use. She added fish to her vegetarian diet, and now incorporates a blend of low-and-high intensity workouts.

It was life-changing to be able to actually get to my goal," Fair said.

But what works for Fair wont work for everyone. Makes perfect sense if it boils down to DNA.

On Tuesday morning Sonia Azad, Ron Corning, and Alexa Conomos got their tests back -- see their results below!

When youre looking to shed a few extra pounds, do you really need to fight through hunger pains to know youre losing weight?

Not necessarily, Angel Planells, a Seattle-based dietitian and spokesman for the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics, told Fox News. If we are methodical about our weight loss approach, we dont have to be hungry, he said.

7 WEIGHT LOSS ROADBLOCKS IN YOUR OFFICE

Lauren Blake, a dietitian at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, agreed, and told Fox News that people shouldnt restrict to the point that theyre always hungry. Theres evidence that says when we restrict too much, it can be harmful to our metabolism, and it supports the loss of lean muscle mass, she said.

Planells and Blake both gave Fox News some tips on warding off hunger pains when on a diet:

1. Dont skip breakfast. To regulate your hunger throughout the day, eat breakfast, whether thats a bowl of cereal, some eggs, or even dinner leftovers, Planells said.

8 LITTLE CHANGES THAT CAN LEAD TO WEIGHT LOSS

2. Keep healthy snacks on hand. To keep your blood sugar stable, avoid going four hours or more without eating, Planells said. Try snacks like yogurt, a handful of nuts, or even peanut butter and fruit to keep you full, he said.

3. Dont drink your calories. Drinks deliver calories a lot faster than solids, Blake said. And since our guts sense fullness based on volume, not calories, drinks wont leave us as satiated as solid foods, she explained.

WHY YOU'RE ALWAYS BLOATED, PLUS 7 FOODS FOR A FLATTER TUMMY

4. Reach for whole, fiber-rich foods. Whole foods like fruits and vegetables are naturally lower in calories, and also have more water content and fiber that will keep you full longer, Blake said. Planells agreed: He noted that while the general American consumes about 10 grams of fiber per day, dietitians generally recommend Americans consume 25 to 30 grams per day.

5. Feature protein in your meals. Protein helps with satiety, Planells said. Try animal-based sources such as beef, chicken, pork, or fish, or plant-based sources like soy and quinoa, which have the added benefit of extra fiber, Planells said.

6. If youre hungry late at night, drink a glass of water. Sometimes, we can mistake hunger for thirst. If youre hungry late at night, try drinking a glass of water, Planells said.

7. Do order an appetizer if youre dining out. It might seem counterintuitive, but dont skip the appetizer section of the menu if youre dining out. Opt for a bone-based soup or a salad to help fill you up and reduce the risk of overeating during the main course, Blake said.

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) You may have seen the ads on the internetvinegar as a super food to shed pounds quickly or turmeric to cleanse and detox your body.

KRON4 wanted to find out the facts to these claims, whether they can help or hurt you.

In part 1 of our series, KRON4s Terisa Estacio looks at apple cider vinegar diets.

The Kardashians have reportedly done it, and so has actress and healthy lifestyle guru Gwyneth Paltrow. We are talking about the apple cider vinegar diet making a splash on the internet.

Testimonials brag about following the diet, incorporating the cloudy potion and watching the pounds melt away. But are these alternative facts or the real deal?

Recent reports have shown that regular consumption of apple cider vinegar can lead to digestive health improvement, reduce bloating, increase absorption of vitamins and mineral from food, as well as more balanced PH levels within the body, saidBen Lazzarini, who is with Whole Foods Market.

We have a wide variety, ranging from 16-ounce on the go beverages to somebody who wants to incorporate into more of a daily routine,Lazzarini said.

I think that every year there is a new thing, said Leah Groppo, who is a dietician and diabetes educator at Stanford.

If you go out to eat at a restaurant, you choose a really large burrito. You pull your vinegar out of your purse and you put it on top of that burrito. Is that really going to offset the 150 grams of carbohydrates that youre eating? No, its really not. Groppo added.

Yet on the internet, countless posts cite studies about the wonders of the apple cider.

Reports suggest national shows and news networks have all agreed. Some refer to major research universities including Stanford.

Groppo says she doesnt know of any conclusive studies and adds if you are reading anything on the internet, pay attention to the fine print.

If you look at the vinegar detox diet, it is looking at 650 calories a day, Groppo said. And so on average, people are consuming upwards of 1,800, maybe to lose weight 1,500 caloriesbut 600 calories is significantly lower. Adding vinegar on top of that, if you attribute it to the vinegar, it is the calories that you are intaking.

Groppo says vinegar is not a bad thing, and putting it into your diet can have some benefits.

She says that is true of other ingredients like turmeric to help with inflammation.

Theres really not one big thing that you can add to your food thats going to be the ah-ha moment that your body is going to suddenly turn into this fat-burning, weight-loss machine before you, Groppo said.

Groppo says although it may not be what some people want to hear, managing your weight is still focusing on the basics.

And what about all of those celebrities and their claims about diets and cleanses doing the body good?

Celebrities probably have personal chefs, dieticians, people to encourage them, they have trainers. Its a different ballgame than what most people are in in this world, Groppo said.

Also popular right now are cleanses,a prescription of elixirs that are supposed to detox your body and make it clean again.

Once again, when it comes to your health, there is no quick fix or special potion or fad diet that will reset your body and ultimately make you healthier.

Do apple cider vinegar diets help you lose weight? - KRON4.com

JUDY WOODRUFF: When you go to the doctor, you often leave with a prescription for medicine, but some doctors are experimenting with a new kind of prescription, one for fresh, healthy food.

And, as the trend grows, more doctors and health professionals are getting more training in the kitchen.

Special correspondent Allison Aubrey of NPR News has the story.

WOMAN: We have the minerals and grains that are going to lower blood pressure.

ALLISON AUBREY: At Casey Health Institute in Gaithersburg, Maryland, the doctor is in, but your appointment might just be in the kitchen.

This is called the Physicians Kitchen. And on this night, primary care doctor Nicole Farmer is prescribing food.

DR. NICOLE FARMER, Casey Health Institute: So, you can see eating whole grains actually is going full circle in terms of helping to control diabetes and blood pressure, but also prevent it too.

ALLISON AUBREY: This doesnt mean giving up favorites, like pancakes. Instead, the goal here is to make breakfast foods healthier, using grains like buckwheat and millet.

DR. NICOLE FARMER: I feel like its important for me to spend my time here, in addition to being in the exam room. If I teach you how to cook, youre going to improve the types of food that you eat, and then ultimately that is what is going to prevent chronic disease for you.

ALLISON AUBREY: The most recent evidence comes from a study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association. Researchers found that, here in the United States, about one out of every two deaths from heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes is linked to a poor diet. Thats 1,000 deaths every day.

Paula Fischthal knows that all too well. Her dad died early of a heart attack, and her mom had diabetes. With this strong family history, she was really concerned. Thats how she ended up here.

PAULA FISCHTHAL, Patient: When I first came here, Dr. Farmer diagnosed me with pre-diabetes. And I really didnt want to take medication.

ALLISON AUBREY: Fischthal has changed her whole relationship with food. She tossed out processed snacks, and shes cooking with fresh ingredients.

PAULA FISCHTHAL: I have gradually gotten rid of the starch that goes with dinner. Its more vegetables and protein.

ALLISON AUBREY: She also started taking yoga classes. And over the last year, shes lost weight. Now her blood sugar has returned to normal. And this means shes no longer considered to have pre-diabetes.

Her story fits with the conclusion of the most comprehensive study ever on diabetes prevention. It was a federally funded study carried out by the National Institutes of Health, with collaborators at 27 sites across the country. They found, when people change their diet to lose weight and become more active, it can be more effective than medication in preventing the disease.

Dr. Farmer tells all her patients about it.

DR. NICOLE FARMER: The diabetes prevention study taught medical science that we dont need to jump the gun when it comes to prescribing medications to prevent diabetes, and that the most effective thing we can do is to promote a healthier diet and to promote them to engage in regular exercise.

The porridge could be a daytime snack, if you want it to.

ALLISON AUBREY: And meeting patients here in the kitchen, Farmer says, is the best promotion.

The idea that you can bring doctors and other health care professionals into the kitchen to teach people that changing their diets can actually help them prevent disease is starting to catch on.

Inside this stone fortress is the Culinary Institute of Americas Napa Valley campus. Here, some 500 doctors and health professionals recently got a crash course in how to build food and nutrition into their medical practices. They spent four days sauteeing, slicing and tasting.

Its put on by the Harvard School of Public Health and the Culinary Institute, as well as a few dozen food service companies who sponsor the event.

DR. DAVID EISENBERG, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health: At this conference, we bring in some of the top nutrition scientists in the world to say, look, heres the evidence that eating these foods either keeps you healthy or reduces your risk of disease, whereas eating these foods really speeds up your risk of disease, heart disease, cancer, diabetes.

Second,the chefs at the Culinary Institute, who are not just great chefs, but great teachers, say, let me show you how to do that.

ALLISON AUBREY: Dr. David Eisenberg from Harvards School of Public Health is master of ceremonies and founder of this event. Its called Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives.

One thing hes trying to change may be surprising. Most doctors, he says, arent taught much at all about nutrition.

DR. DAVID EISENBERG: Today, most medical schools in the United States teach less than 25 hours of nutrition over four years. The fact that less than 20 percent of medical schools have a single required course in nutrition, its a scandal. Its outrageous. Its obscene.

ALLISON AUBREY: Primary care doctor Helen Delichatsios is speaking at the event. Shes been teaching her patients about nutrition and cooking for seven years now, at Massachusetts general hospital in Boston.

DR. HELEN DELICHATSIOS, Primary Care Physician: Many people come to their doctor and have high blood pressure and high cholesterol. One somewhat easy answer is to send them away with one prescription for their blood pressure, one prescription for their diabetes, one prescription for their cholesterol, when, in reality, if you work on the underlying root problem, which may be poor diet and physical inactivity, both of which are tied together, fixing those can address all of the concerns at once.

ALLISON AUBREY: Delichatsios has figured out how her practice can get reimbursed for all the cooking and nutrition instruction. And shes sharing this information with other doctors at the conference.

Dr. Joseph Wetterhahns hospital just installed a teaching kitchen. Hes a primary care doctor in a rural area of Upstate New York.

DR. JOSEPH WETTERHAHN, Primary Care Physician: Part of our education here is, they do teach how to do the correct coding and the correct billing, so that you can do this at a break-even.

ALLISON AUBREY: After attending this conference a few years back, Sanjeet Baidwan was so inspired, she convinced Yale Medical School to let her teach a new class called Culinary Medicine. Shes a primary care doctor at Yales Medical Center in New Haven, Connecticut.

DR. SANJEET BAIDWAN, Yale University Medical School: When dealing with medical school, I often felt that residents were ill-equipped, or they would say to me, well, I dont know that. Maybe we should send them to a nutritionist, or would kind of maybe give some really broad-stroke nutrition information like off the cuff.

But I would say that a lot of patients come in just really desperate for good information, good direction.

ALLISON AUBREY: Eisenbergs vision goes way beyond just doctors in the office.

DR. DAVID EISENBERG: If were going to build teaching kitchens in hospitals, maybe we should also think about building them in K-12 schools, and why stop there? How about corporate workplaces and retirement communities?

ALLISON AUBREY: One of the largest food service companies in the world is already on board. Compass Group USA Runs food services at schools, nursing homes and corporate offices. Theyre planning to build 20 teaching kitchens this year.

DR. NICOLE FARMER: We have the polyphenols in grains that are going to lower pressure.

ALLISON AUBREY: Back in Gaithersburg, Maryland, physician Nicole Farmer says one stumbling block for her patients can be cost. But she shows them that healthy choices arent necessarily more expensive.

DR. NICOLE FARMER: We got a whole bag of millet for less than $2. And this contains about three to four servings, so about enough for three to four meals.

ALLISON AUBREY: So, what about this farro here? This is a little bit pricier than a brown rice, right?

DR. NICOLE FARMER: So, a box of farro will cost about the same price as a good-quality brown Rice.

ALLISON AUBREY: Farmer says you may have to shop around a little bit or go online to buy these grains, but they are available, including in stores that accept SNAP benefits, or food stamps.

Over the last decade, Eisenberg says he has watched as this movement has started to take off.

DR. DAVID EISENBERG: There are now hundreds of teaching kitchens. And I think the idea has found receptivity across the country.

We have now got Cleveland Clinic. We have got Kaiser Permanente. We have got Harvard, and Princeton, and the University of Texas, and 20 other university systems making this available to their patients or their trainees.

ALLISON AUBREY: Im Allison Aubrey of NPR News for the PBS NewsHour in Napa Valley, California.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Online, if youre looking for healthy recipes approved by both chefs and doctors, we have some for you to try. You can find five ideas at pbs.org/newshour.

Lena Dunham Slams "Diet Tips" Article Using Her Image - Refinery29

This April 2017 photo shows penne with tomatoes, garlic, lemon and spinach in Coronado, Calif. This dish is from a recipe by Melissa d'Arabian. (Melissa d'Arabian via AP)

Ask my husband what his favorite comfort food is and the answer will be quick: pasta. Who doesnt love a steamy bowl of noodles or macaroni slathered in butter and cheese? Its a classic, born straight out of childhood mac and cheese days, morphed into a late night college study-session standby.

As adults, we decide to eat healthier, and it almost seems like our loyal noodle friend gets tossed aside, as if there were no way to include pasta in a healthy diet. Well, Im here with good news: Pasta can be part of a healthy diet, and I have a few tips to help keep things both comforting and nutritious.

First: Read the labels, because not all pastas are created equal. Look for whole grain pastas, which usually translate into more protein and fiber, which makes your meal more filling. So instead of 2 full ounces, which is the standard pasta serving size, you might be looking at leftovers.

If you are feeling extra ambitious, you can even seek out some pasta versions that are made from beans and legumes. Next tip is to minimize fat by using starchy pasta water for saucy silkiness just scoop out some water with a measuring cup before draining the pasta. Saute up some veggies and aromatics in just a smidge of olive oil, and use the pasta water to add the saucy vibe.

Adding veggies to the pasta will bulk it up, add nutrients and make the pasta prettier. My go-to is frozen spinach I always have a bag in my freezer so its an easy way to get some pretty green in pasta. You could saute it up with the aromatics and olive, or in weeknight rush, toss the frozen spinach right into the boiling pasta just before draining in to cook it there.

My final tip: try lemon zest instead of part or all of the parmesan cheese. The zest adds an aromatic depth that somehow makes the nutty parmesan cheese less pronounced if missing. Note that when I use my lemon zest trick, I swap out classic basil and use fresh thyme instead its a marriage made in heaven.

Penne With Garlic Tomatoes

Servings: 6

Start to finish: 20 minutes

12 ounces whole grain penne

pasta

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive

oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 cups grape tomatoes, washed

and thoroughly dried

6 ounces chopped frozen spinach, thawed, excess

moisture squeezed out

1 tablespoon fresh chopped

thyme

2 tablespoons lemon zest

Lemons for squeezing, optional

Salt and pepper

Cook the pasta according to package directions, reserving about 3/4 cup of starchy pasta water before draining. While pasta is cooking: Place the olive oil, garlic and red pepper flakes in a ramekin, and mix with a spoon, gently pressing the garlic into the oil. Place the garlic oil in an unheated deep saute pan, and turn the burner on medium heat.

As the oil heats, it will become fragrant. As soon as the oil is warm and smells of garlic, add the tomatoes, and cook until they are coated with garlic oil and they barely begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook, stirring for 3 minutes.

Increase the temperature to medium high, and add the cooked pasta and about half the starchy water. Stir, and let simmer for 1 minute. Add extra water if needed. Add the thyme, lemon zest and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with lemons for squeezing (optional).

Pasta Can Be Part Of Healthy Diet - Wheeling Intelligencer

A person suffering with coeliac disease can damage the lining of their gut if they eat gluten and if a gluten-free diet is not followed forever, the disease can lead to nutritional deficiencies and is linked with osteoporosis, cancer of the small bowel and unexplained fertility problems.

The disease cannot be cured and there is no medication - the only answer is to cut gluten out altogether.

Gastroenterologist Professor David Sanders and Schr dietitian Katie Kennedy have advised how to go about getting diagnosed if you suspect you may have coeliac disease or gluten intolerance.

They have also shared tips on how to lead a gluten free lifestyle.

GETTY

1. What are the symptoms?

Professor David Sanders explains: Symptoms including, bloating, vomiting, headaches, skin rashes, aching joints and fatigue can be associated with gluten-related disorders like coeliac disease or having gluten intolerance.

If you experience any of these symptoms, make sure you speak to your GP who will be able to advise you and help with the next step - diagnosis. 2. How will I be diagnosed?

Diagnosing coeliac disease can be difficult because some symptoms are similar to those also associated with other conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome, said Professor David Sanders.

However, if you have any symptoms, you should discuss your concerns with your GP who may carry out a blood test to check for coeliac disease. If gluten intolerance is suspected, and once coeliac disease has been excluded, an elimination diet is likely to be recommended. It is important to continue on a gluten-containing diet through the diagnosis process. 3. Make sure you get the right advice

Dietitian Katie Kennedy said: There is a lot of advice and support out there for individuals who suspect they may have coeliac disease or gluten intolerance. Charities like Coeliac UK offer extensive information via their website and local volunteer-led support groups. In addition, Schr offers advice via its website and careline.

GETTY

Symptoms including, bloating, vomiting, headaches, skin rashes, aching joints and fatigue can be associated with gluten related disorders like coeliac disease or having gluten intolerance.

4. What treatment is available for coeliac disease?

The only treatment is to follow a strict gluten free diet, which means avoiding all foods that contain gluten, explained Professor Sanders.

For most people, following this diet will reduce or alleviate symptoms, heal existing intestinal damage, and help to prevent associated complications.

It is also important to note that this diet is a lifetime requirement and continuing to eat gluten, no matter how small an amount, can damage the intestine. 5.Going gluten free

Make sure you do your research, said Katie. Theres no reason why a gluten free diet cant be easy and healthy.

Make sure you eat meals based on gluten free starchy foods (including potatoes, rice, gluten free breads and pasta) and also include a range of low fat protein- rich foods such as lean meat, fish, poultry, eggs and pulses, and of course aim to eat your five portions of fruit and veg a day.

She also said it is important to read labels properly.

The presence of gluten containing cereals (wheat, rye, oats and barley) must now be clearly labelled on food products, so its easy to see what is gluten free.

Allergens, including gluten-containing cereals, will always be highlighted within the ingredients list, but make sure you check food products carefully before eating.

GETTY

6.Will going gluten free give me a nutrient deficiency?

Katie said: If you are following a gluten free diet, you may eat less of some key nutrients, such as calcium and fibre, so its important to top up on these where possible.

Sustain your calcium intake with semi/skimmed milk, low fat yoghurts, cheese, and green leafy veg and make sure you also include lots of high fibre, gluten free breads and pastas in your diet, and maintain a healthy fruit and veg intake. 7.Be aware of cross contamination

There is always the possibility of cross contamination. Even a tiny bit of gluten can be enough to cause symptoms for someone with coeliac disease, said Katie.

To minimise the risk of cross contamination you could: wash down kitchen surfaces before use, have different butters, spread and jams to minimise the spread of crumbs and also invest in some toaster bags to keep your gluten free bread separate.

There is also a range of gluten free foods available to help those needing to follow a gluten free diet.

If you are stuck for inspiration, Schr has a huge range of delicious gluten free foods on offer which make it easier to lead a gluten free lifestyle. Visit Schar.co.uk for gluten free recipes, expert advice and ideas to liven up your meals. 9. Enjoy eating out

As well as raising awareness of coeliac disease, this year, the theme of coeliac awareness week is focussed on the great Gluten Freevolution.

Coeliac UK is campaigning for better availability of gluten free foods whether eating out or grabbing something quick to eat on the go.

Katie said: Dont be worried about eating out; there are now lots of restaurants that cater for those leading a gluten free diet, each offering a variety of meal options.

Its the ultimate testament to John Dalys supreme talent that hes still competitive at 51-years-old. His victory at the Champions Tours Insperity Invitational over the weekendmarked the latest peak in a career full of ups and downs, the darkest of which Daly has talked about himself with brutal honesty.

Dalys health has been a frequent point of discussion throughout his life. His weight has fluctuated over time while the two-time major champ has dealt with issues with alcohol and sugar, issues that he says started in college. Told by his college coach at the University of Arkansas that he needed to trim weight, he adopted a rather unusual diet.

Golfweek recaps the story taken from ESPNs 30 for 30 on Daly:

Daly recalls thatin order to play college golf at Arkansas, he was told he had toshed some weight. So, he lost 67 pounds in 2 1/2 months thanks to the time-tested diet of Jack Daniels and popcorn. As for a long-term way to keep off weight, Daly claims that then-Razorbackscoach Steve Loy who would go on to coach at Arizona State and then become Phil Mickelsons agent told him, Smoke a cigarette, itll curb your appetite.
