Keeping track of popular diet regimens can seem nearly as difficult as actually sticking to a new food plan. But a key theme for many diets is limiting the number of carbohydrates you eat.

Some diets, like the keto diet, are more extreme than others. If you're not a fan of cutting out nearly all carbs from your diet, then perhaps carb cycling is for you.

If you're considering carb cycling, here's what you should know first.

As the name suggests, carb cycling involves varying your intake of carbohydrates. The cycle itself varies it's often daily, with people switching between high- and low-carb days, but it can also be weekly or monthly.

For example, on a five-day carb cycling program, a person might eat around 100 to 125 grams of carbohydrates for three consecutive low-carb days, then consume 175 to 275 grams for two high-carb days, when they're more physically active.

For perspective, the FDA recommends that someone on a 2,000 calorie diet should consume about 300 grams of carbohydrates daily.

Carb cycling is based on research that links carb intake with athletic performance and muscle recovery. A 2010 study in the Journal of Sports Medicine found that the timing and amount of carbohydrates a person eats affects how their body breaks down carbs into glycogen, a key source of energy in the body.

Since more intense physical activity depletes glycogen faster, some research suggests that carb intake goals should be adjusted daily, based on the intensity of that day's workout.

That's why you may want to eat more carbs around periods of physical activity. But many factors influence those results, including the type of workout, a food's glycemic index, nutrition composition, and quantity.

Weight loss, naturally, is a big reason people decide to try carb cycling.

Those who want to cut back on carbs while still having the leeway to indulge sometimes might be attracted to the idea of carb cycling. The thinking is that their carb intake will "even out," says Liz Weinandy, a registered dietitian at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.

Studies on the effects of carb cycling have mostly been theoretical, Weinandy says, since the concept is still relatively new. It might be that carb cycling can help with weight loss in the long run but even when people do lose weight cycling carbs, it's possible that simply reducing calorie intake is playing a role, too.

"Many people think going on one of these diets is going to be the magic bullet," Weinandy says. "Really what research has shown time and time again is that if you are reducing calories overall, you will lose weight."

On the other hand, Weinandy says some people do have an easier time losing weight on low-carb diets. "But it doesn't necessarily mean that it's the best or the healthiest approach for them," she adds.

Creating a diet that's low-carb and still healthy takes a lot of planning. So if you're curious about trying it, it's worth talking with a professional to see what the healthiest option is for you, since people's diet results can vary widely.

Weinandy says she sometimes hears from patients that in order to cut down on carbs, they've cut out eating fruit, which misses the point.

It's important to distinguish between complex carbs, like beans, lentils, and legumes as opposed to chips or cookies, which are certainly high in carbohydrates, but not likely to be recommended by dieticians.

Often, Weinandy says, the answer is more simple than overhauling your diet altogether. Think of your food choices as a lifestyle, rather than just as a means of changing your weight. Focusing on the quality of your entire diet instead of just carbs might end up yielding better, more lasting results.

One incredibly useful tool: Write down everything you eat. According to Weinandy, that's a research-supported way to get in touch with your habits, especially mindless snacking you might not even realize you're doing, and understand what foods (and restrictions) work best for your body.

GOGGLEBOX star Amy Tapper has showed off her weight loss after shedding three stone in just three months.

The 19-year-old reality TV star is now down to a size 20 after losing six inches from around her waist.

The teen - who has also starred on Celebs Go Dating - struggled with dieting for years before taking her dad Jonathan's lead and completing Musclefoods Do The Unthinkable diet and fitness programme.

Couch potato Jonathan Tapper lost nearly three stone earlier this year after being diagnosed with diabetes.

The North Londoner first appeared on Gogglebox with her family in 2013 and was taunted about her weight by cruel trolls online.

In the past, the picky eater used weight loss shakes and even tried hypnotherapy but she found she could only lose one stone - before piling the weight back on.

Then in the last year, she went on a gap year to Israel and piled on more weight eating out and enjoying herself.

Before her new diet, Amy would eat two meals a day - usually scrambled eggs on toast for brunch and then homemade dinner cooked by mum Nikki in the evening.

But on Amy's new diet she is eating up to six times a day.

"When my first Do The Unthinkable order arrived, I initially found it difficult to eat all the food but Ive since changed my mindset as Ive realised I really do need plenty of good food to fuel my body," she told the Mirror.

She added: "Im quite a picky eater so was worried about how I would cope with the food options, but I was pleasantly surprised.

"Im a creature of habit so would happily eat the same food every day for months, but I didnt have to do that as theres plenty to choose from."

Amy is now eating dishes like Mushroom Pesto Pasta and snacking on Salt and Vinegar Chickpea crisps and Banana Granola Bars.

And she's hitting the gym to keep herself on track.

Intermittent fasting for weight loss: Study suggests the diet can become a part of healthy lifestyle | Photo by Jennifer Burk on Unsplash 

New Delhi: Intermittent fasting is a popular weight-loss technique or diet followed by people to lose weight and get in shape. Instead of being extremely restrictive with food, the intermittent fasting method focuses on time-restricted eating. It is followed in one of the two ways the 16:8 diet where one eats in a window of 6-8 hours in a day, followed by 16 hours of fasting, or the 5:2 diet, where they restrict their diet to one meal a day, for two days in a week.

If you plan on using the intermittent fasting method to lose weight or are using it already, you must know certain effects of the diet, as found by researchers. According to a recent report, a recent study has found the scientific and clinical applications of the intermittent fasting method in a way that may help physicians guide their patients to try the fitness method.

The findings were published as a review article in the New England Journal of Medicine. The findings suggest that intermittent fasting, can, in fact, become a part of a healthy lifestyle.

Previous studies have found that the time between having meals and fasting supports cellular health, which may happen due to a traditional approach of metabolic switching. A metabolic switch occurs when the cells exhaust the energy received from the food eaten, and then start to convert fat into energy, leading to weight loss. Previous studies have also found that such a diet can increase resistance to stress, manage blood sugar levels better, and also suppress inflammation.

In the review article, researchers noted that four studies conducted in both animals and humans found that intermittent fasting could decrease high blood pressure, blood lipid levels, and resting heart rates.

Researchers said that some evidence of intermittent fasting reducing risk factors like obesity and diabetes may have also been found.

Since people can get irritable due to hunger during the initial days of intermittent fasting, and may even quit the diet, physicians must know the science behind the diet, so that they can help their patients.

Losing weight is half the battle. Maintaining weight loss is the challenging part. Dr. Zach LaBoube, accomplished author and founder of InsideOut Wellness and Weight Loss, traveled the world to develop CURB appetite suppressant.

ST. LOUIS, MO, Dec. 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ST. LOUIS, MO (December 30, 2019) While losing weight can be difficult, most people will tell you that they are able to shed a few pounds (or more) by reducing calories, increasing exercise or doing a combination of both. Thats the good news. The bad news, however, is that according to some studies, 80%, and as many as 95% of people who lose weight will regain it within a few months to a year. Not a very optimistic statistic. Why does this happen?

"The answer is not so simple, said Dr. Zach LaBoube, founder of InsideOut Wellness and Weight Loss, and author of HCG 2.0 Dont Starve, Eat Smart and Lose: A Modern Adaptation of the Traditional HCG Diet. People gain their weight back for a variety of reasons, he added. For some, they simply fall back into old habits, eat out of boredom, or slack off on their exercise routine. For others, they could be fighting a very real physiological response of their body wanting to replenish fat reserves after weight loss, and theyre genuinely hungry! Whatever the reasons, I wanted to help.

LaBoube, who is currently practicing in Singapore, has seen chiropractic and acupuncture patients all over the world, from Peru to Indonesia. He believes that he learns as much about holistic wellness from his patients as they do from him. I'm currently working on a Master of Science in Nutrition & Human Performance from Logan University, but a lot of what I incorporate into my supplement line comes from indigenous herbs and remedies that I hear about from my patients, he added.

It was during his time in Southeast Asia, followed by Peru, that he began formulating what would ultimately become CURB, a trans-dermal patch designed to curb the appetite while increasing energy and focus.

CURB has been in the making for two years, said LaBoube. Its all natural. Nothing artificial. It has zero synthetic stimulants and no caffeine. All of the 29 ingredients were carefully selected to work synergistically with one another, he continued. To name a few, Wild African Mango helps lower cholesterol, suppresses the appetite, provides natural mood enhancement and absolutely blows up your metabolism. Green Tea Extract is a powerful antioxidant.Moringa Plant is a super food that feeds and supports soft tissue and is great for your skin. And, of course, I had to include Peruvian Maca. You can Google that one on your own!

All of his exotic ingredients, when accompanied by simple C and B Vitamins to facilitate absorption, each play a vital role in CURBs overall effectiveness. Other CURB ingredients include Cayenne Pepper (which boosts metabolism and helps burn fat), Chromium Polynicotinate (which helps block sugar cravings), Turmeric (a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant), Rhodia (which increases resistance to physical and mental stress), Astragalus (which stimulates the immune system) and Beta-Alanine (which increases endurance and energy).

Since first introducing CURB a few months ago, LaBoube has received nothing but positive feedback from his patients, as well as those who are part of his private Facebook group, which has more than 19,000 members and continues to grow each day. Im very pleased to see that CURB is working and giving people the confidence they need to maintain their weight loss, he said. But I want to emphasize that CURB, alone, is not the cure all, he added. Yes, the ingredients have been found to suppress the appetite while providing energy and focus, and yes, those who use CURB have the peace of mind in knowing that theyre getting some extra help to keep their weight off. But, ultimately, they need to continue making smart choices about the foods they choose to eat to stay on track and avoid a set-back, he added. Maintaining your weight loss is as much about giving your body the proper nutrition it needs as it is about removing the garbage it doesn't.

CURB will help, but you have to do your part as well. CURB is available on the InsideOut Wellness website (www.InsideOutWellness.net). Twelve patches (a 36-day supply) are $55. For a limited time, use code SNOW2019 to receive 20% OFF.

Have you enjoyed the festivities so far? Hopefully, a soupon of hedonism hasnt gone amiss, with more to come on New Years Eve.

But New Years Day remains synonymous with the making of resolutions, especially health ones, so I thought this weeks column might look at some novel ideas on achieving a healthy lifestyle.

Health resolutions mostly involve exercise or diet. Yes, drinkers and smokers may naturally focus on these habits, but almost everyone considers eating less or differently at some point in their lives.

One of the latest dietary angles involves intermittent fasting: diets that either restrict food intake to certain hours of the day or limit intake several days each week. Alternate day fasting and the 5:2 diet (eating normally five days a week, with a much restricted calorie intake on the other two days) are well established and have an evidence base. But the one that caught my eye recently is time-restricted feeding.

According to an article published last autumn on medium.com, the ancient Romans were obsessed with digestion and were somewhat repulsed by breakfast. While it seems well removed from the usual caricature of glutinous feeding in those times, historians confirm that the Romans were not in favour of more than one meal a day.

They may have been the first to promote a time-restricted diet involving the compression of eating including all meals and snacks into a six to eight hour daily window. It makes sense from an evolutionary perspective: were not designed for constant chewing and grazing.

Krista Varady, an associate professor of nutrition at the University of Illinois at Chicago said that in the short term people who time restrict their intake but dont change the type of food they eat, still lose weight. She co-authored a 2018 study that found obese men who ate only between 10am and 6pm lost an average of 3 per cent of their body weight after three months. And their blood pressure readings also improved.

Interestingly, Varady confirmed both time-restricted feeding and alternate day diets produce similar metabolic and disease-lowering benefits.

The obvious attraction of intermittent fasting is that it takes us away from the (in my experience) soul-destroying counting of calories and the intense focus on cutting carbs or fat. Weightwatchers undoubtedly works for some people; frankly I found it depressing.

Apart from its novelty, what makes time-restricted eating particularly enticing is that it doesnt focus on the content of our meals. I reckon people will find it easier to develop a habit around picking an eating window that suits. Skipping breakfast and morning snacks and then eating between 12pm and 8pm seems to be a popular choice. And from the new year resolution point of view, it sounds like a diet that will continue beyond the first few weeks of January, thus avoiding the fear of failure emotion many of us experience at this time of year.

Is there any evidence that intermittent fasting diets benefit people who are healthy? Theres not enough to support their use on healthy adults yet. Although certain groups who practice intermittent fasting for religious reasons experience health benefits, such groups tend to lead notably healthy lifestyles anyway, meaning long-term research will be needed to overcome any bias.

But if you are overweight or obese what isnt in doubt is the promise shown by intermittent fasting diets. Subject to your doctors individual advice, its where I would focus my efforts if a new diet is part of your resolution-making in the next few days.

Finally, I would like to thank readers for following my column over the last 20 years. Its been an absolute pleasure writing and interacting with you since January 2000. Please continue to email and write!

With sincere wishes for a healthy and happy new year.

Answers have been edited for clarity and length.

Alicia: In 2002, I was a police detective and had just given birth to our youngest daughter six months before. Over the course of five years and two pregnancies, I gained 50 pounds. As a police officer, I felt that I could no longer protect myself if needed not to mention my partner.

My weight had truly become a matter of life or death. I knew that I had to do something. A friend recommended WW, and since I had tried everything else, I figured that I should at least give it a try. I joined and thought that there was no way that I was going to be successful because I wasn't hungry, but I actually lost 5 pounds that first week. I lost a total of 48 pounds that year and have been a lifetime member at my goal weight ever since. WW changed my life and changed my perspective on my overall health and well-being.

Alicia: What I enjoy most about the WW community is the supportive atmosphere. In no other area of my life have I ever been immersed in a community of people who simply want to see you succeed.

Alicia: My favorite thing about the new myWW is that it's customized to fit each member's individual needs and preferences. Members just take the myWW personal assessment, and then WW's smart algorithm will match members with their very own customized and proven weight-loss plan. It is scientifically proven that customized approaches lead to greater engagement and more behavior change than generic approaches, so it excites me to think of the success our members will see with this program.

Alicia: I would describe our local WW Studio as being welcoming, nonjudgmental and inviting.

Alicia: Our weekly techniques are designed around our three pillars, which are food, fitness and mindset. Some of the techniques discussed recently in our Workshops have been: Find the Right Portions, Bounce Back and Get to Know ZeroPoint Foods. (WW's proprietary SmartPoints system simplifies complex nutritional information into a simple number to easily guide your eating decisions to support weight loss. ZeroPoint foods form the foundation of a healthy eating pattern, and are foods you don't have to track! Depending on your customized plan, they can include foods like chicken breast, fat-free Greek yogurt, all vegetables and more.)

Alicia: My greatest tip is to treat the holidays the same as you would treat any other time of the year. If you are attending holiday parties, have a plan and decide what's most important. Focus on ZeroPoint foods and try to stay within your daily Point target.

Alicia: It is important to focus on health and wellness year-round because weight loss and weight maintenance is the result of what you do consistently. If you make small changes over time, they will ultimately become new habits. Changing habits may not be easy, but many things will become easier.

Alicia: I continue to stay motivated following social media accounts of people who are on their health and wellness journey. I also love the way I feel now and I know that I do not want to go back to the way I felt years ago when I was carrying around 48 extra pounds.

I have found an activity that I love, which is SoulCycle. When it comes to activity, it is important to find something that excites you. I go to the gym after work, which really works for me.

Alicia: My advice for someone who wants to get healthy but does not know where to start is to simply start, and start small. Most WW Studios are open seven days a week. Walk into a WW Studio or go online and check out the program. It has been the easiest thing that I have ever done to lose the weight and the most sustainable.

Alicia: What motivates me as WW Coach is having the opportunity to witness members reach goals that they once thought were impossible. I am motivated each day by their success and cannot imagine my life without having each and every member in it.

Alicia: For anyone who is struggling to become healthier or wants to lose weight, stop by a WW Studio today. You will find the most supportive group of coaches, guides and members who will support you all the way to your goal.

How This WW (Formerly Weight Watchers) Coach Lost 48 Pounds - Patch.com

Tom Kerridge has spoken about the nerve-wracking experience of making his new weight loss show.

The celebrity chef joins a group of volunteers in a challenge to shed pounds and shape up in his new seriesLose Weight And Get Fit With Tom Kerridge, which will be packed with healthy recipes and fitness advice.

The TV star, who previously lost 12 stone, has said he was inspired to take on the challenge after he started to regain some of the weight.

He said: I hate watching myself on TV anyway, thats one of those things.

But to be taking part in it, its quite nerve-wracking because it makes you realise that you really had to commit to this because theres going to be, I dont know, 2 million people that are going to watch it on the telly.

So theres a lot of nerves about committing to it and doing it and taking part in it.

I recognise from everybody elses point of view how brave they are to do this, so its a big commitment at the beginning.

I wont tell you what happened at the end, but the whole process is a very nerve-wracking one.

Losing weight, trying to do it, committing to it, but also with the added fact that its being filmed for a television show was a huge thing for myself and for everybody.

But what made it easier is because it was a group thing; there was a WhatsApp group where everybody was very, very supportive of each other, and it actually makes it a lot easier when everybody is committed to doing it.

In this six-part series, Kerridge returns to Gloucester, where he grew up, and joins11 volunteers who have just two months to shed the pounds, get fit and transform their cooking and exercise habits.

Discussing the alterations he made to his lifestyle, he said: I changed the way that I work at the gym and I changed the way that I eat.

So when I first started losing weight, I went for a low-carbohydrate kind of diet and I was swimming; and then I stopped swimming and I ended up doing a lot of weight lifting.

I was trying to do a lot of resistance work and eating high protein, so I put on a lot of weight. I became a lot bigger but a lot stronger, but strength doesnt mean fit.

I wanted to change everything, so with Adam (Peacock, the personal trainer on the show) I went for the idea of going for much more cardio and aerobic exercise and then went onto lower calories [2,800] like the rest of the guys.

Lose Weight And Get Fit With Tom Kerridge starts on BBC Two on January 8.

Michelle: In 2012, after having two children and taking care of everyone but myself, I reached an all-time-high weight of 310 pounds. I walked into a WW Studio, and the leader at the time told me to stick with him and we would get it done. I believed him. I needed someone to believe in me before I could believe in myself.

Over the next year, I made friends in my Monday meeting and stayed the course. I lost 100 pounds! After not being as consistent with my meetings, I gained about 25 pounds back. I don't look at this as a failure, though, because I learned. I learned that I need that connection with others who are on the same journey. I returned and stuck with it, and continue to, to this day. I've lost a total of 140 pounds.

I also discovered that I had been self-medicating with food and alcohol. I am currently four years sober, and I believe that my WW wellness journey led to that discovery. I am open about it because I feel that if I am, I can help someone who may struggle with the same things. I've been a WW Coach for 2.5 years.

Michelle: What I find so inspiring about our WW community is the support that the members show for each other. It's magical to see them support each other in the Workshops and celebrate each other on their journeys. I'm in awe of their honesty in the Workshops.

Michelle: My favorite thing about myWW is that the plans are customized for our members and their lifestyles. The personalization is unlike any other program we have ever offered. Our studio team is trained to help guide our members on their wellness journeys and meet them where they are. myWW is flexible and sustainable, and no food is off-limits. Most importantly, it works in real life, for real people. It meets our members exactly where they are.

Michelle: Our Kennesaw WW Studio is a welcoming, warm and supportive place to come and connect with community and discover new techniques for your health and wellness journey. It's a bright and modern space that provides a nonjudgmental team of Coaches and guides who are happy to help you, right where you are.

Michelle: Our topics are based on the three pillars of the WW program food, activity and mindset. Our members share how they have had success or challenges making habits, and then we offer science-based facts and then talk through a technique of how to make that happen. Our goal is for our members to leave our Studio inspired and with a clear, actionable goal that they can work on for the week. I truly believe that the magic happens in the Workshops.

Michelle: My advice would be to make a plan and be open to trying new recipes. WW has over 8,000 recipes on the WW app to choose from. Most importantly, remember that you're going for progress not perfection. If things don't go as planned, you don't have to wait until the next day or next week to get back on track you can start with the very next meal.

Michelle: My advice would be to set small, attainable goals. Find an activity that you truly enjoy, because if you enjoy it, you will continue. Also, connect with friends who have the same goals. The secret is just not giving up.

Michelle: We have added new WW Workshops to our schedule, drop-in hours, and App Academies with tutorials so our members can learn new things about our wonderful WW app. Our Workshops and weekly topics will help keep the momentum going!

Michelle: It's important to focus year-round on health and wellness year-round because it helps you to live a full and active life. To set goals based on your health can be very motivating. There is nothing like getting a gold star from your doctor at your yearly checkup!

Michelle: I stay motivated by staying connected to other people who have the same goals as I do. I still attend my WW Workshops as a member. I need that connection with others. I schedule my activities on my calendar. Honestly, our members motivate me, and they don't even realize it. To be able to shine a light for others that was once shone for me is truly an honor.

I also like to set larger goals and break them down, like the half-marathon that I just completed. It was my very first half, and I knew if I didn't follow a plan, I wouldn't be ready.

Michelle: My advice would be to start where you are and give yourself time to navigate the new changes you're making. Habits come in bundles, so start with something small like drinking water. It's funny how that can lead to another habit like maybe taking a walk. All of the little things add up, so just stick with it. Joining us at WW for the Workshops, you'll get lots of good tips and ideas. Our Coaches, guides and members truly care.

Michelle: I am motivated by our members. To see them come in on a weekly basis and hear how they have reached a goal or had an "aha" moment that week is amazing. I am motivated by helping others, the way I was helped. I also think my members know that I am human, just like them. We are in this together.

My Saturday members make what we call a "support ball" with our nametags at the end of the workshop. They give it to the member who needs the most support that week. It's a great way of showing support to each other. They gave it to me for my half-marathon, and I carried it with me. It meant the world to me!

Michelle: Our WW Studio is a wonderful and inspiring place for our community to connect and share their journeys. It's a safe place, and we truly care! We would love to have you come visit so we can tell you more about WW.

Every person in the WW Studio is on your side! The friendly guides and expert Coaches will quickly become your greatest motivators and sources of support to make 2020 the year you reach your weight loss goals!

Workshops held at WW Studio locations cover topics that are relevant to weight loss, health and wellness. You can participate as much or as little as you want. There are WW Workshops during the morning, afternoon and evening, seven days a week. This gives you flexibility to attend the Workshop time/day/location that works for during any particular week and ensure your accountability network is always accessible.

Based on years of research, the WW Workshop curriculum is always evolving to bring the best science-backed techniques to help you lose weight and build healthy habits for life.
