If youre just now embarking on a weight loss journey, the good news is that you have alotof choices in terms of how youll do it. Many people like to see quick, fast resultsbut losing weight fast may not be healthy.

Losing weight rapidly is typically accomplished through crash or overly-restrictive diets that are not sustainable long-term, says Audra Wilson, RD, a registered bariatric dietitian at the Northwestern Medicine Metabolic Health and Surgical Weight Loss Center at Delnor Hospital.

Of course, it all depends on what you define as fast weight loss. An achievable and, more important, sustainable goal is to lose 0.5 to 2 pounds per week, says Su-Nui Escobar, DCN, RDN, FAND, registered dietitian nutritionist and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Note that the more weight you have to lose, the easier it is to lose more pounds per week.

But if you are losing more weight than that, youre likely not losing just fat. And it could lead to regain weight down the road. Typically a rapid weight loss is due to the loss of muscle mass, which you want to keep to have a strong, nicely defined body, says Escobar. The more muscle you keep, the more calories you are going to burn.

There are a few different calculations that can be used to determine calorie needs, or your BMR (basal metabolic rate, the amount of calories you need to maintain your weight). All it takes is to do an online search for the Mifflin-St Jeor calculator to find the number of calories based on weight, age, gender, height, along with an activity factor, says Escobar.

Adds Wilson, You will subtract about 200-500 calories from your BMR for weight loss. So, for example: If your caloric needs are 1800, you would aim for 1300-1600 calories per day for weight loss.

This is the formula that you can use to determine your caloric needs:

Men66 + (6.3 x body weight in lbs.) + (12.9 x height in inches) (6.8 x age in years)

Women655 + (4.3 x weight in lbs.) + (4.7 x height in inches) (4.7 x age in years)

Youve probably heard the term water weight, and you may be wondering what it is and how it impacts your overall weight loss goals. Water weight is the water that is retained by the body that normally would go to the kidneys for excretion. It could happen because a person is eating too much salt. Sodium binds with water and keeps the water inside the body, says Escobar. Also, an abnormal amount of carbohydrates (for example, when you eat carbohydrates after a period of restriction) can cause water retention. When we dont use carbohydrates for energy immediately, they are stored as glycogen. Glycogen pulls water, and therefore there is more water retained by the body.

If water weight is happening because youre eating too much salt, a healthy way to lose water weight isyou guessed itto eat less salt.In fact this can be really good for you as it will lower the chances of developing high blood pressure, says Escobar.

Keeping your carbohydrate intake consistent by eating healthy carbohydrates can also help. However, water retention may also be caused by an underlying medical condition, such as edema. This may require medical treatment and medication to alleviate, so talk with your doctor if youre concerned.

With the above in mind, here are 16 actionable tips to help you lose weight quickly.

Adult women should have 0.75g protein per kg of body weight, while men should have 0.84g/kg body weight. Athletes or people exercising regularly will need more, about 1.2-2.0 g/kg of weight, says Jonathan Valdez, RDN, owner of Genki Nutrition and spokesperson for New York State Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. If youre aiming to maintain your lean body mass while losing weight, the higher end of 2.0g/kg of weight is recommended. Protein provides satiety and helps maintain muscle mass during weight loss.

If you find yourself getting hungry immediately after breakfast, it might be time to increase protein intake, says Amber Pankonin, RD, registered dietitian and owner of Stirlist. Eggs, Greek yogurt or lean meats are all good protein sources that might be able to keep you fuller longer in between meals.

Added sugar is found in cakes, pastries, ice cream, candies, sugary drinks (including energy drinks and Gatorade). All of these items tend to have large amounts of calories, and the more you eat, the more youll crave, says Escobar.

Aim for 64 ounces, says Wilson. Being adequately hydrated can reduce snacking and increase energy. Many times our hunger and thirst cues can get mixed up. Those that drink water consistently throughout the day will not feel these competing cues and will likely snack less, reducing total calorie intake (this means weight loss over time!).

Fried foods another source of a high number of calories, says Escobar.

Include plant-based foods such as fruits and vegetables, which provide fiber. Aim for two cups of fruit and three cups of vegetables to meet adequate requirements, says Valdez. Fiber promotes satiety, is naturally low calorie, and provides beneficial micronutrients.

This is a classic idea for a reason: It works. Taking a few minutes before your meal to be mindful of what you are about to eat can help you to make more deliberate decisions about what you are about to put into your mouth, says Wilson. Sometimes it just takes that extra minute to consider whether your choice will be beneficial in supporting you in getting to your weight loss goal. You by no means need to be perfectaim for the healthier option about 80% of the timebut many times we eat without thinking and this results in excess calorie intake.

If you need a little extra help tracking, try MyFitnessPal, Lose It! WW or Noom.

Nuts and nut butters can be a great source of fiber and protein, but they still contain quite a few calories, so its important to be mindful about portion size. In fact, two tablespoons contain around 200 calories, says Pankonin. Dropping the habit of eating nut butters right out of the jar might make a difference on the scale.

Use small plates when you eat to control portion sizes. This can help you eat half of typical restaurant sizes, says Escobar.

Aim to include150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, or a mixture of the two, says Valdez. Physical activity increases energy expenditure and is important to implement to slow and prevent weight regain. Activities such as cleaning the house, walking, dancing, swimming, and running can burn hundreds of calories per hour aiding in increased energy expenditure.

Join the sober curious trend and cut alcohol for a month! Think about cutting one glass of wine a day, which can save you 54,750 calories in a year, says Escobar.

Set your alarm for 30 minutes earlier and get in an AM workout. Whether its walking, following a video on YouTube or Fitness Blender, or running up and down the stairs with push-up and squat breaks; use this time of day where you have most control, says Wilson. If you wait until after work, school, and everything else piled on your plate, you are less likely to exercise. As a nice bonus, morning workouts energize you for the day and get your mind set on healthy for the rest of the day.

Depending on the individual, skipping meals can lead to excess hunger causing some folks to overeat later in the day, says Pankonin. Taking time for balanced meals or scheduled snacks could prevent overeating at other times throughout the day.

When we eat on the run we eat whatever is easiest and fastest, which is usually not the healthiest option. Having a plan and preparing for each day with a menu can help to prevent the scramble at mealtimes, says Wilson. Think about your week, events, meetings, work and school schedules, and plan accordingly. If no one will be home at dinner time, a crockpot meal may be the best option. If you need a quick and easy dinner, have some deli meat and sandwich fixings ready for a made to order meal. You can also use your plan to batch cook foods like taco meat or a healthy casserole on the weekends so leftovers are available for lunch and dinner, or make egg cups for a quick protein breakfast.

Caffeine may promote weight and body fat reduction and weight loss maintenance because it increases thermogenesis and fat oxidation. Caffeine can also help with the perception of fatigue while working out, says Valdez. However, make sure to stay away if you are sensitive to caffeine and have your last drop of caffeine at least 8 hours before your scheduled bed-time to not disrupt your sleeping patterns.

Adding veggies to your morning omelet or vegetables on top of pizza can help add additional fiber and fullness, explains Pankonin.

Scientists are split on the UK's plan to give initial doses of coronavirus vaccines to as many people as possible, even at the risk of delaying their booster shots.

UK officials announced Tuesday that the country would prioritize getting its population first doses of the coronavirus vaccine instead of holding enough for a second dose. The idea is to boost the number of people getting vaccinated with the country's initial supply of the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine.

UK officials released guidelines on Tuesday that allow people to wait up to 12 weeks between doses.

"I feel very strongly that we should get as many shots in arms as possible, right away. The reality is that one dose is partially protective," Gottlieb wrote in a USA Today op-ed on December 7.

Plotkin agreed, saying that providing some protection for a larger percentage of the population is better than none at all. However, he said he still supports providing two full doses to high-risk individuals to ensure they are as protected as possible.

Because the strategy remains untested, both Plotkin and Offit emphasized how difficult it is to measure the effectiveness rates of a single dose over a period of several weeks. It could be as high as 60% or 70%, they estimated based on previous trials, but that remains far below the 95% efficacy for people who get both doses.

Pfizer said in a statement that decisions on dosing are up to health authorities, but that there's no data to show how the shot works if people don't get their second injection on time.

"There's fragile vaccine confidence, and if it looks like it's been done haphazardly, which it does, you could lose the faith of the public," Offit said.

Offit said he sees the appeal of such a strategy given the current strain on supplies, but added that he's hesitant to back the strategy in the US until it can collect and analyze additional data.

Researchers have found that too much visceral fat is linked to high blood pressure, sleep apnea, diabetes, stroke, and heart disease.

But what is visceral fat, and why is it so dangerous to your health? More importantly, how do you get rid of visceral fat if you're carrying too much?

The reason excessive visceral fat can increase the risk of heart disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes is because of how close it is to a major vein - called the portal vein - that heads to your liver.

Moreover, belly fat is thought to manipulate some of the hormones, like leptin, that control our hunger. And people who are obese have been found to have elevated levels of leptin, subsequently causing them to feel hungry more often, which could lead to more weight gain in the long-run.

According to Harvard Medical School, you're at high risk of excess visceral fat if you're a man with a waist circumference of over 40 inches or a woman with a waist circumference over 35 inches or more.

It can be tricky to tell if you're losing visceral fat, since you'll likely be losing subcutaneous fat too. According to Michael Russo, MD, bariatric surgeon at MemorialCare Surgical Weight Loss Center, keeping track of your BMI and waist circumference are the best ways to tell if you are losing visceral fat.

"Diet is about 80% of the equation. Exercise is also very important - getting your heart rate up for 30 minutes a day, every day," says Russo.

The type of exercise isn't as important as focusing on just getting your heart rate up and working up a sweat. Strength training, cardio, and other forms of exercise will do the trick. If you find yourself having trouble exercising regularly, start by taking long walks around your neighborhood to work yourself up to more rigorous exercise.

With these changes, it is possible to lose visceral fat at a reasonable pace. Though how your body may lose fat depends on factors such as genetics.

Weight loss is individualized. It will depend on how much visceral fat you have to lose and how your body loses fat. However, according to the Mayo Clinic, cutting calories and exercising at least 30 minutes a day is the best way to approach losing visceral body fat. By sticking to a healthy diet and regular exercise, you should begin to notice a difference within a few months' time.

Other surgical options that aren't quite as effective as bariatric surgery, include balloon-based therapies, which can help limit the amount of food you eat by making you fuller faster.

Losing visceral fat takes time and effort. A low-carb diet and moderate exercise will help you shed any excess fat around your midsection.

However, an excess of belly fat can cause long-term adverse health effects. It's best to consult your physician to see if your belly fat is putting you at risk for heart disease or other health problems.

3. Offer helpful resources for rethinking bodies, weight, and diets.

There are so many articles, websites, books, podcasts, and research studies on concepts like health at every size and intuitive eating. If the person youre talking to seems open to learning about these topics, offer to share resources that you have found to be helpful in shifting how you see health and weight. Always ask before offering up information because they may indeed not want to hear it. Here are some examples of how to do this gently:

Intuitive eating has really helped me develop a healthier relationship with food and my body. If youre interested in learning more, let me know and I can share some of my go-to resources.

I read this really great book that redefined how I saw health. I can let you borrow my copy or send you the title if you want to take a look.

I recently listened to this podcast episode that totally changed how I think about fitnessdo you want me to send you the link?

I actually discovered this new way of eating that is more about well-being over weight loss. I feel so much more liberated. Let me know if you want me to share some articles about it with you.

Lets face it. You may not have the energy to do any of the above, which is totally cool because its not your job to be an advocate for body respect to people who are really pushing your boundaries. Having these conversations can be great, but they can also be an energy suck, especially if you find yourself talking in circles. If youre not up for engaging in dialogue, sharing how you feel, or offering resources, find a way to change the subject. I do it all the time without any explanation. Oh, were talking about how great youve been doing because you ate salad all week? Cool, how are things going with work? What hobbies have helped you feel sane these past few months? Have you been reading anything good lately? What shows have you been watching? Questions like these will shift the conversation quickly, and you may be surprised at how quickly people forget about what they were talking about.

Self-preservation is incredibly important, and you should consider how youre going to feel based on your approach. If youve reached the point where youre literally done talking, see if you can work up the courage to just not say anything, walk away, leave the Zoom, or otherwise exit stage left. The logistics, as with the rest of this, really depend on your personality and also who you're dealing with. Maybe youre blunt and walk away from your mom mid-sentence after the umpteenth time of telling her you'd prefer not to discuss diets, or you may go the subtle route and say youre going to grab some wine (and never come back). Maybe you even pretend your internet connection is failing, and oh, no, you have to leave the family video chat! It all works. Ultimately, you get to decide if this is a conversation you want to engage with based on how youre feeling at that moment. One day you may walk away, another day you may be sharing podcast episodes.

Finally, remember that if you're feeling upset due to food and body talk, you should check in with yourself to figure out what kind of self-care may help. That can be a journey on its own, but tackling diet and body talk in the moment with these kinds of suggestions is a great first step.

As the effects and benefits of cannabis progressively being unveiled, its not surprising for it to be touted as a weight loss aid. Particularly, cannabidiol (CBD), which is a non-intoxicating derivative, is increasingly lauded as a cure-all for nearly everything. But, despite copious claims and anecdotal evidence, scientists and health experts agree that more research is needed.

And as more states legalize both the medical and recreational use of weed, its no longer hard to get your supply from a marijuana dispensary. Plus with CBD products abound such as oils, tinctures, vapes, gummies, lozenges, and other forms,all promising glorious health benefitsits easy to get swayed.

Marijuana and especially CBD contribute to weight loss is a widely known fact at this point and if often used in marijuana marketing campaigns.

CBD is one of over a hundred compounds found in cannabis. Its one of the most abundant cannabinoids next to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). But unlike THC, CBD is known to be a non-psychoactive compound that does not make you high.

Cannabinoids like THC and CBD interact with our endocannabinoid system and produce different effects. THC usually is associated with the munchies, but CBD is believed to help in weight loss. CBD is widely popular due to its perceived beneficial effects on health including treatment of seizures in epilepsy, reducing inflammation, and chronic pain relief.

Now, generally accepted facts substantiate that the chemicals found in cannabis affect our endocannabinoid system (ECS). These compounds react to our natural cannabinoid receptors known as CB1 and CB2. Our ECS controls everything from neurological, to the immune system, and the metabolic system. The CB1 receptors, specifically, have been linked to obesity. It is believed that in obese people, these receptors become densely activated and widespread in fatty tissue.

Some research suggests that the compound in question, CBD, when ingested can switch off or block off CB1 receptors. While in a British study, its concluded that CBD may be an appetite suppressor. Although it does not prevent you from eating, it can make you feel fuller quickly.

CBD can or cant help you lose weight. CBD alone will not help you to shed some pounds overnight. But when combined with a good diet, exercise, and a healthy lifestyleit can aid in weight loss in the long run.

As mentioned earlier, CBD may indirectly deactivate CB1 receptors which can lead to reduced appetite. This suggests that it can indirectly affect your weight. Other research suggests that CBD can also reduce the probability of metabolic disorders, can convert and break down fat.

There are several ways CBD impacts weight loss. Lets go over each one:

Mitochondria is part of our cell responsible for converting fats, sugars, and proteins into energy. When it isnt functioning optimally, its easy for us to gain weight and hard to lose some. Our mitochondria is a key part of our metabolic system, which is regulated by our ECS.

CBD, as per research, can increase the number of our mitochondria as well as their activity. It also directly affects our endocannabinoid system thereby boosting our metabolic balance, also known as homeostasis.

When our bloodstream insulin level is high, its hard for our body to burn fat. In one study, CBD was shown to significantly lower or stabilize insulin levels. The compound is thought to encourage the conversion of white (bad) fat into brown (good) fat. CBD may also enhance the breakdown and oxidation of fat. The browning of our fat cells helps us to burn calories needed for weight loss.

CBD is considered an appetite suppressant as it was observed to directly interact with our CB1 receptors.

As cannabis remained to be classified as a Schedule 1 drug and illegal on a federal level, its hard to conclude its efficacy. This is due to limited research and a lack of definitive reports. Moreover, no CBD products specifically for weight loss have been FDA-approved.

Its also good to note that marijuana use is not without risks. The substance is also prone to long-term misuse and dependence. It is especially risky for younger people too.

Indeed, CBD has been initially found to indirectly aid in weight loss. However, there are risks involved so its always best to consult a doctor first. And if you opt to use it, dose properly and dont rely heavily on it. Use it only as a complement to good eating habits, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle.

George Clooney had a health scare right before shooting began on his new Netflix film The Midnight Sky. The actor was diagnosed with pancreatitis and hospitalised after experiencing stomach pains just days before cameras started rolling on the sci-fi project that counts him as both director and star. The film features the 59-year-old Oscar winner as Augustine Lofthouse, an astrophysicist battling cancer who is tasked with warning a team of astronauts not to return to Earth. To get into character, the Gravity star decided to lose weight for the role. "I think I was trying too hard to lose the weight quickly and probably wasn't taking care of myself," Clooney told the Mirror. The actor also pointed out that filming in harsh climates made this shoot particularly challenging. The Midnight Sky's cast includes Felicity Jones, David Oyelowo, Tiffany Boone, Demin Bichir and Kyle Chandler.
