Because ultimately, the fundamental rule of weight loss is calories in versus calories out.
Adam Enaz, a personal trainer and registered clinical dietician, explains that calories are essentially the energy present in the food we eat.
‘If we consume more calories than what our bodies
It’s a complaint which has gone viral on social media: Generation Z, it is claimed, are ‘ageing like milk’. In posts viewed millions of times on video-sharing app TikTok, the eye-catching theory is that a generation of young adults, all under the age of 27, already look older than the generation before them, Millennials (born between 1981 and 1996).
One of the first to notice was influencer Jordan Howlett who, aged just 26, confessed to his 12 million followers that

From an upset tummy and excess wind to urine infections and piles, there are many problems affecting ‘down there’ that we just don’t feel comfortable talking about.
But the risk is that serious conditions go undiagnosed – or people miss out on treatment that could help.
We asked the experts about everything that can go wrong with your bowels and personal plumbing – and what to do when it does.
It is a scary thought that in 1980, when I went to medical school, only one in every 14 British adults was obese. Now it is close to one in four.
We didn’t see a lot of overweight patients when I was a medical student. These days, the NHS spends millions every year reinforcing beds, building bigger scanners and even designing larger mortuary fridges.
And this is only a fraction of the many billions spent treating and managing diseases caused
A fitness model has revealed how her life drastically changed after adopting the ‘carnivore’ diet for an entire month.
Petrina Barber, 41, who splits her time between London and Dubai, decided to cut out all processed foods and carbohydrates to help with her stoma output.
The mother-of-one became an awareness campaigner and founded her business Beyond The Stoma after treatment for cervical cancer nine years ago led to her needing a stoma bag.
With her new diet, that involved eating
What if I told you there were ways to thicken your hair, plump your skin, lose your middle-aged spread and even banish hot flushes that all cost less than a basket of groceries at the supermarket?

I slept well as a young man, but by the time I reached my 40s, I began to show classic signs of insomnia. Most nights I would struggle to drop off – and then find myself waking up at three in the morning with thoughts rushing through my head.
And I am far from alone. More than half of people in the UK aren’t getting enough good quality sleep, and the impact on our mental and physical health is frightening
A group of obese Britons are travelling the globe to learn the weight loss secrets from other cultures, but it seems a visit to Tonga might have been counterproductive.
The latest episode of Channel 4’s Around the World in 80 Weighs, which airs tonight, sees six overweight Britons visit the Polynesian kingdom of Tonga.
During their visit to Japan last week, seen in last week’s show, they were pointed at inthe streets, but Tonga is one of the most fattest
Scientists are deeply concerned about the possible long-term effects of ultra-processed foods on our children — many of whom eat far too many crisps, sweets, pizzas and biscuits.
A study, published in 2021, found that British children got on average 60 per cent of their calories from ultra-processed foods (UPFs). For some, the total is as high as 80 per cent. And there are growing worries that the younger children start on these foods, the greater the chance they will
