A Case for Staying Home<br />
When dieting, there is no such thing as a “healthy meal<br />
out.” Researchers from the Friedman School of Nutrition<br />
Science and Policy at Tufts University found that Americans<br />
get 1 out of every 5 calories from eating out, but these<br />
meals typically have poor nutritional quality. The study<br />
reported that less than 0.1% of meals consumed during<br />
the study were nutritional, quality foods. If you’re looking to<br />
hit your goals, skip the fast-casual or fine dining restaurants<br />
and meal prep your way into a healthy lifestyle.<br />

Sometimes a minute on the treadmill can feel like an hour. But<br />
how long should you be on the treadmill for the most effectiveness?<br />
When choosing a high-intensity interval training regimen,<br />
experts recommend a 20-minute workout on the treadmill.<br />
Steady-state treadmill workouts can last a little longer. Try 30<br />
minutes for a moderate-intensity workout like light jogging,<br />
or 40 minutes for low-intensity walking. These are the “sweet<br />
spots” for cardio sessions.<br />

Jumpstart With Keto<br />
The Keto diet took over in 2019, and it<br />
appears its reign will continue throughout<br />
<strong>2020</strong>. However, Yale researchers found<br />
that a ketogenic diet, which provides<br />
99% of calories from fat and only 1%<br />
from carbohydrates, produces health<br />
benefits in the short term, but negative<br />
effects after about a week. While it may<br />
help improve diabetes and other conditions<br />
in humans over a long-term period,<br />
researchers found that after a few weeks<br />
following keto diet, participants start eating<br />
more fats, which could lead to weight<br />
gain instead of weight loss.<br />

Bloated Blunders<br />
It’s hard to know<br />
which diet is best<br />
for each person,<br />
and sometimes they<br />
come with adverse<br />
effects. People who<br />
eat high-fiber diets<br />
are more likely to<br />
experience bloating<br />
if their high-fiber<br />
diet is protein-rich<br />
as compared to<br />
carbohydrate-rich,<br />
according to a study<br />
led by researchers at<br />
the Johns Hopkins<br />
Bloomberg School<br />
of Public <strong>Health</strong>. The<br />
study suggests that<br />
people who want to<br />
eat a high-fiber diet<br />
would be less likely<br />
to experience bloating<br />
if the diet were<br />
relatively carb-rich<br />
versus protein-rich.<br />
While researchers<br />
believe this is<br />
a short-term side<br />
effect, it is a less<br />
than ideal one.<br />
