Eating sufficient fats can promote hormonal balance in the body

Here are some of the most common myths about fats: eating fats will make you fat; fats are good for you; fats are bad for heart health... and so on. If you are in a complicated, consufed kind of relationship with fats, then you have landed at just the right place. Celeb nutritionist Pooja Makhija recently took to Instagram to talk about all things fat, bust some of the most common myths around this macronutrient. In her IGTV, the Mumbai-based nutritionist clarifies that eating fat certainly does not make you fat.

Eating the wrong kind of fat or eating too much fat can make gain weight, she adds. Fats can conveniently be divided into two categories: good fat and bad fat.

Bad fats

Processed, refined and fried foods are usually the ones which contain bad fat. These include trans fats and the inflammatory vegetable oil. "Increased intake of these fats can make you gain weight and also result in an increase in inflammation. Inflammation plays a role in nearly every chronic disease that you can think of," says Makhija.

Good fats

Natural food sources are considered to be good sources of fat. These include poly and monounsaturated fats. Eating these fats can help in increasing metabolism, stimulate fat burning, reduce hunger, optimise cholesterol levels and even reverse type 2 diabetes. "These are heart-healthy fats and can even reduce the risk of heart diseases," she adds.

These fats can lower bad (LDL) cholesterol, increase good (HDL) cholesterol, and also lower down the level of triglycerides. "Fats are a source of fatty acids which you are body cannot manufacture itself. Our brain is largely made up of fat, and require a steady stream of fatty acids to function properly," she explains while adding that a big portion of these fats come from omega-3 fatty acids.

Almonds, walnuts, salmon, chia seeds and flaxseeds are some popular sources of omega-3 fatty acids.

Including good quality fats in your diet can boost your mood, cognitive function, learning and memory. "Deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids have also been linked to depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and even schizophrenia," she says.

How much fat do you need?

According to Makhija, about 20 per cent of your daily calorie intake must come from fats.

Make sure you include the good fats in your diet on a daily basis.

Rebel Wilson recently revealed that she has in fact broken up with Busch-Adolphus fortune heir Jacob Busch, whom she went public with only a few months ago.

Australian actress Rebel Wilson recently confirmed her split from her ex-boyfriend, Busch-Adolphus fortune heir Jacob Busch. The Pitch Perfect actress who recently lost more than 60 pounds, had been pretty vocal about her relationship and had even posted photos of the couple looking loved up after they met last year. Now, sources close to the actress confirmed the breakup, saying the relationship had just run its course.

The fuel to the fire was when the actress took to Instagram herself and posted a photo of herself with the caption: Lots on my mindaghhhhhh#single-girl-heading-to-Super-Bowl! The actress, 40, and the businessman, 29, started casually dating before the coronavirus pandemic swept across the globe. They made their red carpet debut at Prince Alberts Planetary Health Gala in Monaco and posed alongside Kate Beckinsale and Helen Mirren. Wilson has been looking sensational while filming for her new ABC show Pooch Perfect and is using Julia Roberts longtime stylist Elizabeth Stewart.

Throughout the last year, Rebel was either seen hanging out with Jacob or focusing on her weight loss journey. She dubbed 2020 her Year of Health, and kept fans updated as she revealed: Ive tried, like so many women out there, Ive tried fads and diets and things before and Im like, I need to do a really holistic approach to this, this time, she previously revealed via Instagram. My diet was mainly all carbs, Wilson added. Which were delicious but for my body type, I needed to eat a lot more protein.

Rebel Wilson confirms breakup with Jacob Busch after dramatic weight loss; Posts about being single on IG - PINKVILLA

My name is Kari (@aspire.rise.achieve), and I'm 32 years old. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada, and I work as a support worker for people with intellectual and physical disabilities. I struggled with my weight my whole life until I decided to start eating nutrient-dense foods, stay in a calorie deficit, and work out with Les Mills BodyCombat and BodyPump classes.

Before my weight-loss journey began, I had been overweight my entire childhood and teenage years. I remember getting teased starting as young as 6 years old, which was a struggle. I knew I looked different and wasnt happy with my weight but I lacked the understanding of how to make a change.

Once I was old enough to walk to the nearby store to buy a snack after school, the unhealthy choices became more frequent and accessible. This was when my problem with weight got worse. I always felt like my weight held me back from trying new things or meeting new people. I absolutely dreaded gym class. I couldn't find clothes in my size anywhere except at specialty plus-size stores that only carried adult styles of clothingnot what a teenager would want to wear to school.

I was at my heaviest around 16 years old, and I couldn't believe I saw 300 pounds on the scale. I knew it was a big problem, but I felt stuck. I just thought that was what my life was going to look like. I didn't believe I could change because I had never known anything else.

I also started having health problems. I had blood work done that showed signs of pre-diabetes, elevated LDL (bad) cholesterol and lower HDL (good) cholesterol, as well as a hormone imbalance. I wanted to do something about my weight, so I'd try to eat more nutritious foods, but never stayed consistent.

At that point, my knees always hurt and would make grinding sounds as I walked up the stairs. I had no energy and was unhappy most of the time.

I had made many previous failed attempts to lose weight without success, but I knew this time was different. I was going to make a lasting change and lose weight. I researched and learned about the basics of good nutrition, calorie/energy balance, and exercise.

On May 18, 2008, I started applying the things I was learning to my lifestyle.

As a college student, I could also do it without it costing me a lot of money. I didnt want a quick fix or a fad diet that would result in regaining the weight back. So I focused on staying in a calorie deficit, learning to read nutrition labels, and becoming more aware of my consumption. I focused on eating nutrient-dense foods as much as possible, but still allowed flexibility since holidays and food-focused events and gatherings will always be a part of life.

Once I started my second year of college, I learned that students had free gym memberships to the campus fitness center. I had never worked out in a gym in my life, but I was very intrigued and joined. I started going every morning, Monday to Friday at 6 a.m., before my full day of classes and evening work. After graduation I joined a different gym, and Ive been there for the last 12 years.

It's a mixed martial arts inspired group fitness class. After I had my first baby in 2015, the group fitness instructor reached out and encouraged me to consider taking instructor training. I taught classes at my gym for about a year. I still do Les Mills BodyCombat and BodyPump workouts to this day virtually, along with running and lifting weights four days a week.

Through getting married and having two babies, I remain proud of how much my lifestyle has changed permanently. After having my first baby, I lost the weight postpartum within the first year. However, my second child had serious health issues, and after giving birth in 2018, I am now re-losing some weight from that pregnancy.

I advocate for sustainable weight-loss methods, because had I not placed focus on the education of nutrition and my body, I may not have been able to maintain it through so many major life changes. Now that things are settled, I am finally caring for myself again. I hope my story will help others believe in themselves, too.

Apple cider vinegar is a popular natural remedy that's commonly used for a whole host of medical conditions. But what's the truth surrounding apple cider vinegar, and how much do you need to help you lose weight?

There are reportedly more than 30 different health benefits to taking apple cider vinegar.

But it's crucial that you avoid having large doses over a long time period.

Taken in the right doses, apple cider vinegar is believed to be safe, and could help you to lose weight.

But how much apple cider vinegar should you have everyday to boost your weight loss diet?

"For those who want to try apple cider vinegar, it does have some proven health benefits," said Dr Edwin McDonalds, for UChicago Medicine.

"Everyone wants to lose weight. Supplements that facilitate weight loss are in high demand.

"As it turns out, a randomised, clinical trial recently published in the Journal of Functional Food showed that apple cider vinegar might help with weight loss.

"The participants drank 15ml of apple cider vinegar with lunch and dinner [a total of two tablespoons]."

REBEL Wilson shocked fans this week when she posed for an Instagram shot for her 9.5 million followers.

The Pitch Perfect star looked unrecognisable after having embarked on a new health and fitness journey.

The 40-year-old captioned the photo: "Lots on my mind...aghhhhhh...#single-girl-heading-to-Super-Bowl!", confirming her split from billionaire boyfriend Jacob Busch.

But how did Rebel lose more that 60 pounds after declaring 2020 as a "year of health"?

At the time, she wrote on Instagram: Okay so for me 2020 is going to be called The Year of Health.'

So I put on the athleisure and went out for a walk, deliberately hydrating on the couch right now and trying to avoid the sugar and junk food, which is going to be hard after the holidays Ive just had but Im going to do it! Whos with me in making some positive changes this year?

She revealedher target weightof 165 pounds (11.7 stone) to her fans.

Even if you have to crawl towards your goals, keep going x it will be worth it, shecaptioned a photo of herselfin a tracksuit and bra.

Try and give a little bit of effort each dayI know some days are frustrating as hell, you feel like giving up, you get annoyed at the lack of progressbut good things are coming your way," she encouraged.

Rebel previously said that she had embraced the Mayr Method as well as working out with her trainer.

She reached her goal weight in November last year.

The diet is based on the book by Dr Harald Stossier and Helena Frith Powell.

The plan focuses on your gut and how the foods you eat ultimately affect your digestive system.

Most people will just buy the book but for those with a little more cash, they will visit a Mayr centre in Austria or London.

5

Rebel previously posted about the centre in Austria.

Here you will spend a week having your diet and routine scrutinised by experts who will help you with your snacking and reducing gluten and dairy intake - this will cost around 1,600 for the week.

The diet is not calorie controlled but you will be taught how to chew your food and will be encouraged to eat slowly.

People following the plan will have their biggest meal at breakfast and their smallest meal at dinner time.

Its website states: "VIVAMAYR combines modern complementary medicine with traditional diagnostics and therapies according to F.X. Mayr.

"Once we have treated your condition, proper nutrition combined with exercise and improved mental awareness become the building blocks of your new life.

"Modern Mayr Medicine is based on the four principles of Rest, Cleanse, Train and Substitute with the goal of integrating and practicing each principle individually for a period of time."

Aside from diet and wellness, Rebel has also been working out with personal trainer Jono Castano.

She regularly posts videos on her Instagram stories and part of her workouts include strength building such as flipping tyres.

As well as strength exercises she also makes sure to include cardio and incorporates sprint and high intensity interval training.

She also posts about going for hikes and long walks outside.

5

While it's important to include all of the major food groups in your diet, Rebel recently told People magazine that she had cut down on the amount of carbs and had upped her protein intake.

She said: "Before I was probably eating 3,000 calories most days, and because they were normally carbs, I would still be hungry.

So, I've really changed to eating a high-protein diet, which is challenging because I didn't used to eat a lot of meat. I eat fish, salmon, and chicken breast.

While Rebel has overhauled her image, she also said that she won't restrict herself and added that "nothing is forbidden".

She said she will still have take-out but that she might just eat half or have a smaller portion than she previously would have.

Rebel has also previously talked about emotional eating and said that food was something she used to cope with becoming internationally famous.

She added: "There is a lot of stress that comes with it, and I guess my way of dealing with it was just eating donuts."

I follow intermittent fasting of at least 14:10 or 15:9 on a regular basis. I have my first meal around 10 am and my last meal around 7 am. I also make sure I have a lot of seasonal, regional and traditional recipes, eat a little less than I am hungry (80%). I also keep sipping on a lot of warm water throughout the day.

My breakfast: Stewed Apples (I have a glass of warm water soon after waking up)

My lunch: All my meals are traditionally prepared at home and adhere to the Ayurvedic principles of nutrition and weight loss. So, I would start my meals by having a til ka laddoo (sesame seeds laddoo) and then proceed to have a wholesome meal of dal, subzi and chapati. I always alternate between different seasonal grains, millets and vegetables. Pearl millet is my current favourite.

My dinner: Ragi dosa with chutney or mixed khichdi with a tablespoon of ghee.

Pre-workout meal: I prefer doing empty stomach workouts, usually early in the morning.

Post-workout meal: I break my fast around 10 am with 6 almonds and figs, followed my stewed apples

I indulge in (What you eat on your cheat days):

I don't usually experience the urge to indulge in any cheat days because I find my regular diet fulfilling enough. I have managed to create a mental block against all things like maida, cheese. So, now, I don't crave for items like pizza, pasta or burger. If I still feel like treating myself, I go ahead and have something like daal ka halwa or gobhi ka parantha.

If you've been to Costco, you know that walking through the aisles can be a fun yet challenging experience, especially if you're trying to lose weight. Giant tubs of peanut butter filled pretzels, huge bags of chips, cookies the size of your head oh my. Everything is super-sized. But fear not, Costco carries lots of healthy foods and snacks too (You can check out our 10 Best Healthy Snacks to Buy at Costco). And if you know what to look for, you can definitely snack and still lose weight. We've rounded up 10 of our favorite weight-loss snacks from Costco to slash your shopping time (and stress levels) in half.

First, here's what to look for in general when shopping for packaged snacks. These guidelines will help you choose snacks that fill you up (that's the goal, right?) and avoid blood sugar spikes:

Plain yogurt is ideal for weight loss since it has no added sugar, but sometimes you want an easy grab-and-go, flavored option, and for that, Siggi's is my go-to. "I like the Siggi's brand because the product does not contain anything artificial and varieties tend to be lower in sugar than the leading alternatives," says Lauren Manaker M.S., RDN, LD, registered dietitian and author of Fueling Male Fertility. "Eating dairy foods (like yogurt) is linked to weight loss too," she says. If your Costco doesn't carry Siggi's, consider buying plain Greek yogurt and adding fresh or frozen fruit, or just a little bit of sweetener.

RXBARs are a great protein bar for weight loss because the ingredients are whole foods like egg whites, almonds, and dates. With flavors like peanut butter chocolate and chocolate sea salt, you'll satisfy your sweet tooth too. Each bar packs 12 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber to hold you over until your next meal. And there are no artificial sweeteners. Note, they are pretty chewy so keep that in mind if you need something super quick & don't have time to check your teeth. Buying them at Costco helps make them more affordable. (See our top 5 favorite protein bar picks.)

Popcorn is packed with fiber, which slows digestion to help keep you full, and can help satisfy your salty, crunchy cravings. Three cups of popcorn has under 100 calories with 3 grams of protein and 3.5 grams of fiber. Contrast that with chips: there are over 300 calories in three cups. Costco carries several brands, including my favorite, Boom Chicka Pop. Watch out for too much salt, steer clear of buttered varieties and look for few to no added sugars (looking at you kettle corn).

I love these almonds and a bonus of buying them at Costco is that you can get 1.5 oz single-serve packs, which are perfect for an on-the-go option and portion control. Almonds are high in monounsaturated ("good") fats, protein and fiberthe perfect trifecta of nutrients for weight loss and blood sugar control. If one pack isn't enough to satisfy you at snack time, pair them with fruit for added fiber. Costco also sells giant bags of almonds, if you want to portion them out yourself.

Homemade guac trumps store-bought when it comes to taste, but who has time to whip up guacamole every week? Thankfully, Kirkland, Costco's signature brand, has single-serve cups of chunky guacamole that are the perfect side-kick to your favorite vegetable (like celery, carrots, peppers or jicama). These snack packs are loaded with nutrients: 4 grams of fiber, only 6 grams of total carbohydrates and 6 grams of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, all for just 90 calories a pop. You can also use dip tortilla chips or a high-fiber cracker, like Crunchmaster Multi-Grain Baked Crackers, also available at Costco. But veggies are your best bet to make these guacamole cups a perfect weight-loss snack.

What's better than a container of blueberries? How about a 1-pound container of blueberries? Costco's got you covered. Blueberries are a low-calorie, high-fiber, antioxidant-packed snack with just 85 calories in one cup. They're good for satisfying sweet cravings too. Pair with nuts or plain Greek yogurt for protein, which suppresses hunger hormones and keeps you full longer.

Seaweed has become a rising trend during the past few years and it's no surprise considering all its benefits (learn more about the health benefits of seaweed). Seaweed is an important source of iodine, which promotes adequate thyroid function, fiber, which helps control glucose levels and several other vitamins and minerals. And on top of that, snacking on seaweed is a great alternative to chips because it can satisfy your salty, crunchy craving for very few calories.

If you know, you know. Regular grocery stores sell the small bags of Hippeas chickpea puffs but at beloved Costco, you can find a giant bag. "When I need something crunchy, I love buying a bag of Hippeas organic nacho chickpea puffs," says Manaker. "These snacks remind me of old-school cheese puffs, but they are vegan-friendly and contain a boost of fiber and protein to help keep me satisfied. Using a chickpea base, these snacks satisfy my craving for the old-school snack food while continuing to help me maintain my weight." Real talk, they're so good, we recommend portioning them out and slowly enjoying every bite. One serving, which is one ounce, has 130 calories, 3 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein.

Similar to Hippeas, Costco also has these baked, lightly-salted crisps made from real peas. They're a great nutrient-dense snack to satisfy crunchy cravings and a better alternative to other veggie sticks and crisps that have good advertising but lack fiber and protein (and in some cases, actual vegetables). One serving of Harvest Snaps is 22 pieces and has 130 calories, 4 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein. Again, probably best to portion out into a bowl and eat mindfully if watching your waistline.

I can't end this round-up without mentioning fresh vegetables of course. An easy way to ensure you actually eat the vegetables you buyespecially at Costco where containers are giantis to stock your fridge with vegetables you don't have to cut. For example, baby carrots, snap peas, cherry tomatoes and mini peppers. These can be added alongside any meal. Vegetables are the lowest calorie snacks out there but keep you full because of their high-fiber content. Spinach, kale and mushrooms are also favorites because they can easily be cooked up in a skillet with some olive oil, salt and pepper and mixed into any pasta or stir fry (it's a good idea to get vegetables at meals and snacks). Aim to "eat the rainbow" as each color contains different vitamins and minerals and all are important for reducing inflammation and risk of chronic diseases. And remember, frozen is just as nutritious as fresh (and if you have space in your freezer, Costco sells giant bags of those too).
