  • Fitness expert Shannon Collins - who goes by the name TheGymNurse on Instagram - has shared her advice for avoiding weight gain over the festive period

The article from the Daily Record discusses insights from personal trainer Luke Worthington on how to avoid the pitfalls of fad diets and achieve sustainable weight loss. Worthington emphasizes the importance of understanding the body's metabolic processes rather than following restrictive diets that often lead to short-term results and long-term failure. He explains that many fad diets cause a decrease in metabolic rate due to reduced calorie intake, which can lead to weight regain once normal eating resumes. Instead, Worthington advocates for a balanced approach focusing on nutrition, regular physical activity, and a lifestyle that supports long-term health. He highlights the need for a diet that includes all food groups, the significance of strength training to maintain muscle mass, and the psychological aspect of eating, suggesting that food should be enjoyed and not demonized. This holistic approach aims to foster a healthier relationship with food and exercise, promoting lasting weight management and overall well-being.
