Fitness coach Jordan Syatt frequently tackles new diet challenges on his YouTube and Instagram. Previously, he lost weight while eating a McDonald's Bic Mac every day. Now, he documented how following the carnivore diet for 14 days affected his body. Syatt shared the results in a series of Instagram stories, which are pinned to his page.

As the name implies, the carnivore diet consists of meat and animal products, and Syatt ate plenty of fish, beef, and eggs. He weighed in at 154.8 pounds on the first day. The scale dropped to 151 pounds after five days.

Within 24 hours, he was struck with diarrhea, Syatt tells Men's Health.

"It burned. It was awful," he says. "You try to hold it and don't want to go through the painful process of cleanup."

The severity of his diarrhea became better after 10 days, he says.

When it came working out, Syatt says he had little motivation to hit the gym.

"My workouts were awful. I didn't have much energy at all," he says.

Additionally, Syatt's blood pressure increased within a few days of starting the plan. However, it returned to normal after about a week.

Admittedly, Syatt isn't a fan of the all-meat approachor any other restrictive diet. But he does say that eating meat prevented mindless snacking.

"I did not go to the fridge and open it up and say, 'What can I have?,'" Syatt explains. "If I'm not hungry enough to eat meat, then I'm just not hungry."

After 14 days, Syatt weighed 149 pounds and broke the diet with watermelon.

"Damn, carbs are life," he says in an Instagram story.

Could a South Orange County voice instructor have discovered a way to preventor minimize the risks ofexposure to coronavirus?

ThomasAppell is convinced he has. A healthy diet.

In2004, he wrote a book, NeverGet Another Cold.

Hispremise is that our American diet is so laden with sugar that we lay out thewelcome mat for viruses.

Appell,65, used to suffer regularly from colds and the fluas did his voice students.So he went around asking people, How often do you get sick? He began queryinganyone who didnt. A common thread emerged.

People seemingly invulnerable to viruses avoided sugar, ate primarily a plant-based diet and drank lots of water. Appell provides a video testimonial, from a woman who hasnt had the flu in 55 years, at youtube/AeYapvCkosE.

Hesuggests that if people will just take a break from their typical diet duringthis coronavirus emergency, lives can be saved and people exposed can fare muchbetter.

OK,so were supposed to ditch pizza, pasta, hamburgers, alcohol, donuts, junkfood? Do we need to be perfect?

Strayinga little here or there isnt that bad, as long as you dont gorge on sugar,Appell says. If we get sugary foods off the table for the next month, werelikely going to see the whole corona threat become manageable.

Details are in an updated, illustrated coronavirus edition of his book, available in PDF for $9.95 at appellvoicestudio.com/product/never-get-another-cold/.

Its up to the individual to decide for themselves how safe they want to be. Zero tolerance is safest. However far you stray from a zerotolerance for sugar determines your risk level.

Appellalso has put together a COVID-19 Prevention Plan, appealing to President Trumpto allocate funding to let him assemble a task force seeking volunteers inthree groups:

Agree to cut out all sugar from their diet (includes soft drinks, energydrinks, candy, ice cream, desserts, etc.).

Agree to cut out all sugar and refined carbs (anything made with white flour orwhite rice) from their diet.

Agree to cut out all sugar and refined carbs, and drink at least two liters ofwater per day.

Itsmy belief, he says, that all groups will experience a dramatic decrease inthe number of coronavirus cases compared to the public at large.

Weasked him about it:

Whatled you to seek a solution?

Formy whole life, I had been plagued with the flu and colds. Starting in December2001, I had three terrible virus/flu/cold episodes in less than a year. Im avocal coach, and when Im sick, I cant sing. It became my mission in life tofind out how to stop my lifelong history of colds and flu.

Howdid you do it?

Ijust started asking everyone I met, When was the last time you had the flu ora cold? If they said anything more than a decade, I was all ears and startedasking questions.

Howdidyou test this?

OnceI knew what to do, I stopped getting sick. Then I tracked down the sickestsingers I coached and asked them to do it along with me. I ended up trackingthe results of six people. The group had 27 cold/flu episodes in the year priorto starting the diet. In the two years after starting out, only one personcaught a cold once. That translates to a 98-percent decrease in episodes. Then16 more years of seeing the same results, over and over.

Whatis the diet?

Eatalkaline foods and limit acidic foods. For flu prevention, the No. 1 thing todo is avoid any food that causes your blood glucose level to spike. Drinking aliter of water per day for every 50 pounds of body weight also really helps.

Somefoods to avoid?

Forperfect health, everyone has to nix or really limit anything with a high sugarcontent, or food that after digestion converts to sugar, like refined wheat.This includes soft drinks, candy, pizza, pasta and doughnuts. I have to reallywatch how much high-sugar fruit, like pineapple or peaches, I eat. A big fruitsalad can have just as much sugar as a 20-ounce Coke.

Whystop eating sugary foods?

TheInternational Diabetes Federation states, The Coronavirus may thrive in anenvironment of elevated blood glucose (sugar). This is exactly what Ive foundwith myself and all the people Ive worked with for 16 years.

Whatfoods should you eat?

Saladsare great. My first meal is a salad with avocados, spinach and cucumber, freshsqueezed lime juice and small amounts of low-sugar fruits like blueberries anda greenish banana to add some nice flavor. Most vegetables are greatraw orcooked, with the exception of corn, since corn has such a high sugar content.

Whatabout meat?

Idont eat meat, so I wont get heart disease. But small amounts of meat appearto not have much of a significant impact on catching a virus.

Doyou really expect people to give up pizza, pasta and sugar?

Inthe past, no. In 2020, with the risk of death and an economic meltdown fromfear of contracting the coronavirus, yes. Zero tolerance for refined sugar issafest. But small amounts can be OK as long as you dont spike your bloodglucose level. This is why the virus is spreading so fast. Countries that havea diet that leads to elevated glucose levels are at high risk.

Isit hard adapting to your diet?

Itsnot a challenge at all. Its delicious. And you feel so good after getting ridof all of the sugary sweets.

Whatwould you say to our leaders?

We cant afford to shut down the country every time COVID-19 rears its ugly head. I believe I can save America a trillion dollars, but, more importantly, save many lives. Containment and quarantine are temporaryprevention is best. Prevention through diet is our silver bullet.

Howquickly does your diet take effect?

Results are nearly instantaneous. After a person stops eating the foods that causes a virus to thrive, they stop becoming a potential host.

The new film by a Boise-based production team examines the guidelines that demonized fatty foods for decades.

BOISE, Idaho The Boise-based production team that's made its mark with breathtaking, Emmy-winning documentaries featuring Idaho's outdoors has turned its cameras inside -- as in what your body does with the food you put into it.

As you may gather from the title, the filmmakers and the experts they feature want you to forget everything you've been told about fat. Turn the "food pyramid" upside-down. Maybe not literally, but close.

About 2 1/2 years ago, the film's producer,.Jennifer Isenhart, decided to take a sugar detox class.

She said that what she learned over those five weeks blew her mind.

The very first day of class, Isenhart said, they told her to not only avoid sugar, but eat more fat!

Isenhart said everything she had learned regarding a "proper diet," and everything we had been taught growing up, she was being told was wrong.

"I went out and started doing my own research on the topic and finding all of this information about how the dietary guidelines were upside down and backwards," she said. "The idea that we should cut back on all fat and instead eat seven to 11 servings of carbohydrates a day - which is what we were told in 1980, the first (federal) dietary guidelines - it actually coincides with the launch of the obesity and type-2 diabetes epidemic in this country."

While "Fat Fiction" raises questions about the guidelines, it does not claim that they were part of some big, deliberate conspiracy.

"I think, at the time, the people that were making these recommendations thought they were doing the right thing," Isenhart said. "All the people we interview in the film agree on that point. People weren't intentionally trying to give bad advice, but they jumped ahead of the science at the time. At the time that we recommended the low-fat diet to the nation, there was no science to prove that it was a healthy way to eat."

One person in the film's trailer calls the decades-old high-carb, low-fat guidelines "genocide."

Isenhart said she has heard from some friends in the medical profession who disagree with the film's premise.

"I just kept going forward, because the physicians that I've interviewed and the patients that I've interviewed are reversing chronic disease: Type-2 diabetes, like, in a matter of weeks, and it's happening over and over again with a low-carb, high-fat diet. Not only are they reversing a chronic disease, but all of their markers improve, so it's kind of hard to argue with that kind of evidence."

One of the arguments against a low-carb, high-fat - or keto - diet has been that there's little evidence of the long-term effects.

"That's one of the frustrations in this whole story -- the counterargument against keto and low-carb is 'well, there's no science,'" Isenhart said. "That was part of the problem ... no scientific studies would be funded if they were low-carb. That was part of the control of the status quo of the dietary guidelines -- funding to look at low-carbohydrate diets, for decades. Now, finally, Silicon Valley money has come in and funded some studies. And we finally just in the last five years are getting clinical trial evidence that low-carb, ketogenic diets reverse type-2 diabetes."

Isenhart said she feels really good about putting out a project that people can learn from and use to improve their health, without gimmicks.

"You don't have to buy anything. It explains how the metabolism in our bodies works, and it explains how you can reverse many chronic diseases by eating real, whole food."

One of the conditions considered "high-risk" in the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak is type-2 diabetes -- the others mentioned by name are asthma and cardiovascular disease.

"Fat Fiction" is available on Amazon Video.

A special premiere showing will stream at 7:30 p.m. Thursday on Fan Force TV, with a live chat and question-and-answer session with the experts from the film.

With a young child, meals can be an everyday hassle, especially when you want to introduce new food, and motivate children to make healthy food choices.

Children starting their school years have several nutritional requirements that need to be met, and at the same, are at an age which shapes their lifetime food habits.

"School-going children are still growing and are physically active which plays a significant role in determining a child's nutritional requirements. Genetic history, gender, body size, and built are various other factors. The nutrients or foods needed by children are the same needed by adults, but the quantities vary," nutritionist and wellness coach Avni Kaul said.

She adds, "In the growing years, foods that provide protein, calcium, iron, and vitamins are vital for their growth and development. Without them, their growth may get stunted and, in serious cases, it can affect the development of their mental and motor skills. These nutrients are available in major food groups - grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy and protein foods."

Here are five foods that should be included in the diet of a growing child:

Berries

Berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, mulberries, gooseberries are very high in Vitamin C, antioxidants and phytochemicals. They protect healthy cells from damage and helps in boosting the immune system. You can add them in yogurt, or serve them raw to your children.

Eggs

Eggs are quite popular. Eggs are a great source of protein and vitamins. Eggs are one of the best sources of choline, an important nutrient that supports brain development. You can serve them either as boiled, scrambled, fry or prepare omelettes.

Peanut butter

High in monounsaturated fats, peanut butter provides energy and protein to children. However, certain brands contain added salt, sugar, palm oil and partially hydrogenated fats, which reduces nutritional quality. So, look out for the label carefully.

Whole-grain foods

Fibre present in these foods maintains digestive health and prevents constipation. Amaranth, Barley, Maize, Ragi are one of the finest options. If your child is not fond of them then you can give them in the form of biscuits and wholegrain bread.

Bright-coloured vegetables and fruits

Include carrot, pumpkin, sweet potato, cherries, tomatoes and papaya. They are high in beta carotene and other carotenoids that are changed into active vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is vital for good skin and vision, growth and repair of body tissues.
