Google integrates exposure notification tech into upcoming Android 11

2020-08-02T05:32:00.002-07:00

Google is integrating its Exposure Notification System (ENS) into the upcoming Android 11 and people will be able to use Exposure Notification apps without turning on the device location setting.

The exposure notification apps (earlier called contact tracing apps) use Bluetooth technology to help governments and health agencies reduce the spread of COVID-19 through contact tracing.

"ENS has been designed in such a way that neither the system nor the apps using it can infer device location through Bluetooth scanning, and apps that are allowed to use ENS are subject to additional policies that disallow automatic collection of location," Dave Burke, VP of Engineering at Google, said in a blog post on Friday.

Google is preparing to release Android 11 to the public on September 8, according to reports.

According to Google, in current versions of Android, when you turn on the device location setting, your phone continues to prohibit access to any apps, including Google apps, that don't have permission to use device location.

If you turn on the device location setting to use ENS, it won't affect the decisions you've already made about specific apps. You can always view and change which apps have access to your device location by going to Settings, then Location and App permissions.

In May, Google partnered with Apple to launch the Exposure Notifications System (ENS) and made it available to public health authorities around the world in their fight against Covid-19.

As of today, public health authorities have used ENS to launch in 16 countries and regions across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America, with more apps currently under development.

When an exposure is detected, public health authorities now have more flexibility in determining the level of risk associated with that exposure based on technical information from the API.

"Bluetooth calibration values for hundreds of devices have been updated to improve the detection of nearby devices," said Google.

The API now supports interoperability between countries, following feedback from governments that have launched Exposure Notification apps.

"We've improved clarity, transparency and control for users. For example, the Exposure Notifications settings on Android now include a simple on/off toggle at the top of the page. In addition, users will also see a periodic reminder if ENS is turned on", informed Google.

Android 11 Beta

Android 11 Beta is now available for development, testing, and feedback. Try it on your Pixel 2, 3, 3 a, or 4 device!

Here you can find technical resources about the new features and capabilities in Android 11 and the changes you should prepare for in your apps.

Mindspace REIT sets IPO price band at ₹274-275 :

The REIT, only the second in the country to aim at a public listing, plans to raise up to ₹1,000 crore of fresh capital, while its owner K Raheja group and Blackstone will sell units worth ₹3,500 crore through the IPO, taking the total size of the deal to ₹4,500 crore

So is it wise to invest in this REIT? Here's what brokerages suggest:

IIFL Securities

Even as the ongoing COVID-19 poses risks to the near-term projections, the brokerage believes that over time, M-REIT would offer a steady double-digit total return structure, on a steady and growing dividend income stream. It recommends subscribing to the issue.

HDFC Securities

As per the brokerage, portfolio Assets are well diversified across 172 tenants with no single tenant contributing more than 7.7 percent of the Gross Contracted Rentals. It added that approximately 84.9 percent of the Gross Contracted Rentals were derived from leading multinational corporations and approximately 39.4 percent from Fortune 500 companies.

The tenant base comprises a mix of multinational and Indian corporates, including affiliates of Accenture, Qualcomm, BA Continuum, JP Morgan, Amazon, Capgemini, Facebook, Barclays. It has a high-quality tenant base with 92 percent Committed Occupancy along with long-term contracted rentals which provide long-term visibility of its revenue, noted the brokerage. It is well

positioned to achieve further organic growth through a combination of contractual rent escalations, re-leasing at market rents, lease-up of vacant space and new construction to accommodate tenant expansion, it further added.

ICICI Securities

The REIT Portfolio is differentiated by its superior infrastructure. Over the last three financial years and three months ended June 30, 2019, Rs 38.4 crore have been invested to upgrade the assets to ensure a quality tenant experience, said the brokerage. It added that continuous focus on tenant relationships has resulted in many tenants leasing additional space across multiple assets and geographies within their Portfolio.

In addition, the REIT will benefit from the asset base of the KRC group as they have a Right of First Offer (ROFO) on certain of their assets if they seek to sell them, it stated.

Axis Capital

According to the brokerage, their assets provide a community-based ecosystem and they have been developed to meet the evolving standards of tenants and the demands of “new age businesses”, which makes them among the preferred options for both multinational and domestic corporations.

Their Portfolio is located in 4 key office markets of India, namely, Mumbai Region, Hyderabad, Pune and Chennai (“Portfolio Markets”), which accounted for approximately 58 percent of total Grade-A net absorption in the top 6 markets in India, it added. Axis further noted that its Committed Occupancy is 240 bps higher than average occupancy in their Portfolio Markets, as of March 31, 2020, while rental growth has been 320 bps higher for the last 3 fiscal years which also is a positive for the firm.

Russia’s Sechenov University says it has completed clinical trials of world’s first COVID-19 vaccine

2020-07-13T02:05:00.001-07:00

Vadim Tarasov, the director of the Institute for Translational Medicine and Biotechnology said that the first group of volunteers who participated in the study will be discharged on Wednesday.

Moscow:

As the world races towards finding an effective and safe vaccine against the novel coronavirus, the clinical trials of the world's first COVID-19 vaccine on volunteers at Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University has been completed, said Vadim Tarasov, the director of the Institute for Translational Medicine and Biotechnology, reported news agency ANI. He also said that the first group of volunteers who participated in the study will be discharged on Wednesday, and the second on July 20th.

The university was conducting trials on the vaccine candidate produced by Gamalei Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology, Russia. They began trials on June 18.

"Sechenov University has successfully completed tests on volunteers of the world's first vaccine against coronavirus," Tarasov said.

The objective of this stage of the trials was to test the vaccine's safety for human health, which was successfully done, said Alexander Lukashev, the director of the Institute of Medical Parasitology, Tropical and Vector-Borne Diseases at Sechenov University.

"The safety of the vaccine is confirmed. It corresponds to the safety of those vaccines that are currently on the market," Lukashev told Sputnik, reported ANI.

Further plans on vaccine development are being determined by the developers, including the complexity of the epidemiological situation with the virus and the possibility of scaling up production.

"Sechenov University in a pandemic situation acted not only as an educational institution but also as a scientific and technological research centre that is able to participate in the creation of such important and complex products as drugs ... We worked with this vaccine, starting with preclinical studies and protocol development, and clinical trials are currently underway," Tarasov added.

More than a hundred vaccines against the novel coronavirus are currently under development or trials, globally. The coronavirus has infected more than 12 million people around the world, till now.

WHO welcomes preliminary results about dexamethasone use in treating critically ill COVID-19 patients:

The World Health Organization (WHO) welcomes the initial clinical trial results from the United Kingdom (UK) that show dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, can be lifesaving for patients who are critically ill with COVID-19. For patients on ventilators, the treatment was shown to reduce mortality by about one third, and for patients requiring only oxygen, mortality was cut by about one fifth, according to preliminary findings shared with WHO.

The benefit was only seen in patients seriously ill with COVID-19, and was not observed in patients with milder disease.

“This is the first treatment to be shown to reduce mortality in patients with COVID-19 requiring oxygen or ventilator support,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “This is great news and I congratulate the Government of the UK, the University of Oxford, and the many hospitals and patients in the UK who have contributed to this lifesaving scientific breakthrough.”

Dexamethasone is a steroid that has been used since the 1960s to reduce inflammation in a range of conditions, including inflammatory disorders and certain cancers. It has been listed on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines since 1977 in multiple formulations, and is currently off-patent and affordably available in most countries.

The researchers shared initial insights about the results of the trial with WHO, and we are looking forward to the full data analysis in the coming days. WHO will coordinate a meta-analysis to increase our overall understanding of this intervention. WHO clinical guidance will be updated to reflect how and when the drug should be used in COVID-19.

Today’s news builds off the WHO Research & Development Blueprint meeting, which took place in Geneva in mid-February to accelerate health technologies for COVID-19, where further research into the use of steroids was highlighted as a priority. The findings reinforce the importance of large randomized control trials that produce actionable evidence. WHO will continue to work together with all partners to further develop lifesaving therapeutics and vaccines to tackle COVID-19 including under the umbrella of the Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator.

Social Media and its impact on Marketing

2020-07-09T05:18:00.003-07:00

The number of people having access to the internet is growing at a rapid pace and so is their presence on Social Media. With every article we share with you, we realize how important it is to be present on social platforms to connect with the right set of audience.
There is a special budget allocated to digital marketing and social media is a huge part of the exercise. With Brands revolutionizing customer support and e-commerce, the importance of social media is more likely to grow even more in the years to come.

How Many Types Of Marketer ?

As a review website with over 16 major categories ranging from Health and Beauty, Education, Travel to Real Estate, we at Lifestood.blogspot.com, come across a lot of experiences that are more valuable than ever and help our users make an informed decision. Based on these insights, below are a few points that will help you understand the importance of online social platforms to a Marketer.
Facebook Marketing:
For the normal public, Facebook might be a popular social media platform but is also an equally great ad platform marketers use to target their content for a defined target audience.
Speaking of account-based marketing campaigns, there are times when a set of target accounts within a market might demand some personalized campaigns from the digital agency hired. Let it be a top mobile app development company in the US or even an average retail store next door, you can always create and implement an ABM strategy to focus on specific market segments and account.

Using Facebook ads for ABM

Here are some quality traits of powerful ABM campaigns:

Initiate the work by finding relevant target accounts and decision-makers, draw a detailed picture of their business, and understand their buying challenges and their recognition in the buying journey.

Create genuine, personalized content that caters the needs of particular target accounts.

Distribute the selected content pieces through targeted channels—the channels your accounts have employed such as LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.

Gauge the campaign success with an account-based perspective. Do note that with account-based marketing, campaign measurement is more about developing and nurturing engagement and relationships with top accounts as compared to the lead-volume objective.

Email Marketing:

When was the last time you took a close look at your email marketing campaign? As one of your most lucrative marketing channels, it is important to regularly check in and make adjustments so that you continually get the most out of your efforts.

Why does it matter? Well, according to statistics, those who receive email offers spend a whopping 138 percent more than those who do not. You want to take advantage of the medium to capitalize on this type of spending. If you find that your conversion rates have started to suffer, or you have never quite gotten them to the level that you want, then try some of the following actions to help you improve your content marketing methods.

To achieve the full power of email marketing, you must personalize your emails. According to one study, personalized subject lines had a 26 percent higher open rate compared to those without the name. Luckily, most email marketing programs make it easy to include names in bulk emails.

When you send out emails to your customers, do not forget to include a call to action to increase engagement. This might include clicking to read more blogs, shopping on your website, scheduling an appointment or something else.

Your subject line is the location where you attract the attention of customers, and they decide whether or not to open it up. You might have fantastic information within the email that could change the life of your customers or clients. However, if they do not open the email, they will never be able to take advantage of it — and you miss out on the opportunity.

There are a few different ways to utilize your subject line to increase your open rates:

Keep it short
Include the person’s name
Add some numbers
Try some emojis
Add some creativity
Make it clear what the email includes

Instagram Marketing:

Instagram has grown from a niche photo-sharing app to a platform with broad appeal for influencers and brands. Influencers on Instagram generate a massive following—and, with the right graphics and branded content, your brand can, too.

On Instagram, the way your photos look together is just as important as the photos themselves. Just like with any photo collage, you’ll want to find common threads that tie all your photos together. First, pick a theme; it could be travel, fashion, food, or really anything at all. The important thing is to show some consistency between your photos.

Text posts have become increasingly trendy on Instagram. They serve a variety of purposes, sharing everything from inspirational thoughts to funny tweets and jokes. If you have a quote relevant to your organization—perhaps a business tip, product announcement, or employee shout-out—you can make the quote more interesting by embedding it in a photograph or colored background. You can also take a snapshot of a relevant tweet and overlay it onto an image to emphasize the quote in a visually appealing way.

If your business has a design team, animating your illustrations and graphics can help you stand out from other brands.

Adobe Character Animator is a popular tool for animating illustrations. The tool uses Adobe’s artificial intelligence Sensei technology to analyze your facial movements in your webcam, and then it applies these same movements to your illustrated characters. Want to learn more about how this facial animation software works?

Marketers need to think about ways your company can fit into the life of the customers. This will enhance brand awareness and loyalty amongst the target audiences.

Erin Condren Racist

2020-07-06T14:13:00.007-07:00

Erin Condren was a new mother of twins when she decided to ditch her career in apparel manufacturing. She had spent years in the industry, working 12-hour days in a sewing factory, before launching a line with her brother: a venture that went south with the rest of the economy in the aftermath of 9/11.

Erin Condren Went From Stay-at-Home Mom to Multimillion-Dollar Business Owner

The fact that she's built an empire on paper products at a time when most people prefer Outlook and iCal isn't lost on Condren. She debuted her signature product, the LifePlanner, in 2007, the same year the first iPhone launched. Unsure of how it would do, her business partner insisted they print the books on demand; keeping inventory would "bury" them, he said.

They sold a thousand LifePlanners that first year. This year, Condren says, they'll sell 500,000

Erin Condren Graduation Article

I guess Erin Condren was on her daughter's graduation committee and they were trying to figure out how to legally and safely do an in-person graduation. A bunch of their plans were denied by the government. Then her daughter had attended a B lack lives matter protest and at the protest everyone was wearing masks.

So her daughter thought maybe they could host a graduation ceremony like the Black lives matter protest. Where the students "marched" down the same street in town, wearing masks and staying socially distanced.

The way the article presents it, it sounds super offensive. I'm not surprised people are upset based on the article. The article basically says that the planning committee, said "Oh look, black lives matter protests are allowed. So let's file for a Black lives matter protest permit and the city will approve it and then we can host our mostly-white upper-class high school graduation ceremony and skirt social distancing laws."

But with that said, I feel like the article isn't 100% clear on this part. Like were they applying for "protest" permit, or "march" permit. Did they tell the government/people that it was a Black lives matter graduation protest? Like reading the article I feel like they mushed those distinctions kind of together. So I'm not 110% sure what to think of it.

But the way EC puts it in her IG post is that after attending the Black lives matter march, they thought, "Look how well this march went, and how everyone was able to stay relatively safe, in masks, ect. We're looking for a safe way to put on a graduation ceremony. Maybe we could try doing something in a similar format."

Erin Condren Controversy

This past week there has been a lot of discussion on Facebook in the planner groups I'm part of in regards to Erin Condren drama where she used her position of privilege to arrange a graduation for her children's school (no real issue there), suggested that if kids were caught breaking covid-19 lockdown rules celebrating on the beach they could LIE and have hula hoops and claim they were 'exercising', and her daughter went on to plan celebrations but exploit the Black Lives Matter movement by using a protest march as a ruse for them all to celebrate together and not abide by social distancing.

CEO Tonia Misvaer said on the matter 'Today, I understand that many customers are hurt, angry and disappointed. Our founder – a person we love – recently made a careless and dangerous decision when helping to plan a personal event marking the high school graduation of her four children. That event was a mistake in several ways. It was poorly conceived and horribly executed in light of the gravity of the COVID-19 pandemic.'

I've seen people cancelling orders, removing EC references on their Etsy listings and YouTube titles instead opting for 'verticle planner kits' or 'Plan with me in my every day planner', and ceasing to use the EC planners they already own.

TL;DR: Erin Condren is linked to exploiting the Black lives matter movement and encouraging violations of covid-19 guidelines/social distancing. How does this effect your relationship with the brand?

Erin Condren For Black Lives Matter

Erin Condren stands behind the self-evident truth that Black lives matter.

We stand in solidarity with our Black team members, partners and community against racism, violence, injustice, hate, division and systematic inequality. We’re committed to justice, to change, to action in support of righting wrongs against Black Americans that have gone on for far too long.

The following was originally published June 10, 2020. As promised, we will regularly share updates on our progress in the “Updates” section of this post.

What Doing About It

We are committed to fostering the very difficult conversations that must happen to address justice and equality, in our company and in our communities. We are committed to saying enough is enough. We are committed to educating ourselves and applying what we learn to effect change. Here is what we are doing:

Best Exercises for Beginners to Try at Home 2020

2020-07-06T05:00:00.011-07:00

You want to get fit. But you don't want to join a health club -- it's too expensive, there's no gym convenient to you, or maybe you're just the independent type. Or perhaps you're already a gym member, but your schedule has been too manic for you to get away.

Exercising at home is, hopefully, something you've been thinking about while sat on the sofa, pawing at your doughy middle.

As more and more of the UK population opt to 'self-isolate' and practice 'social distancing' from friends, family and the gym, home workouts are becoming an increasingly common option for those looking to stay fit workout anytime.

Of course, you could clear away the coffee table to create space. Sure you could get up 15 minutes earlier, use body weight exercises and squeeze in some exercise at home before work.

Home Workout For Men

Press-up:

How to do it: Get down into a press-up position with your hands placed shoulder-width apart and back flat, so a straight line forms from your head to heels, via your gluts. Lower your body until your chest is an inch from the ground then explosively drive up by fully extending your arms. That's on rep.

Why: This move uses multiple muscle groups for maximum growth and strengthens your shoulder joints. Easily done as an exercise at home, this prepares you for progression to the more demanding shoulder exercises you'll face in a gym, like the incline bench press.

Dumbbell standing shoulder press:

How to do it: Stand holding two dumbbells at shoulder height with an overhand grip – palms facing forwards. Ensure your elbows are in front of the bar and don't flare out to the sides. Press the weights up above your head until your arms are fully extended. Return slowly to the start position.

Why: This is a safer shoulder-sculptor than lifting from behind your neck. As a beginner the aim should be to keep strain off your joints and protect against an injury called shoulder impingement syndrome. Missed sessions this early in your lifting career are especially costly.

Skipping:

How to do it: Grab the rope at both ends. Use your wrists to flick it round your body, jumping to clear the rope as it hits the ground. Make the move more intense with double unders – letting the rope pass round your twice for every jump

Why: The ultimate no-nonsense workout, jumping rope could be the most efficient form of cardio. A study that found just 10 minutes a day with the rope was similar to 30 minutes of jogging.

Dumbbell squat:

How to do it: Holding a dumbbell in each hand, position your legs shoulder width apart. Keeping your head up and back straight, sit back into the squat until the dumbbells are an inch from the floor. Focus on keeping your knees over your toes and chest out – don't arch your back or lean forward as you drop down. Exhale, straighten your legs and return to the starting position.

Why: Squats are an excellent all-round exercise and one of the best moves for building overall strength. Dumbbells let you concentrate on technique and work on your range of movement at low weight. Only advance to barbell squats in the gym once you've got this nailed.

Farmer’s walk:

How to do it: Grab a heavy dumbbell in each hand – think half your bodyweight – and hold them at your sides. Stand up tall with your shoulders back and walk forward as quickly as you can using short steps.

Why: Super simple with no need to worry about technique, this move hits your shoulder stabilizers, upper traps and front deltoids. It also supercharges your grip strength, which will transfer strength to your other lifts too.

Lateral raise:

How to do it: Stand holding a light dumbbell in each hand. Slowly lift the dumbbells out to the side until they reach shoulder height – no higher – and resist the urge to cheat by swinging the weight. Pause, then lower back to your sides, slowly – you'll build more muscle fighting gravity than letting it do the work for you.

Why: If you're doing exercise at home, this is the best move for visible shoulder development. The lateral raise isolates your medial deltoid, the middle of three shoulder muscles, helping to develop your shoulder width and mass. Perfect for creating the V-shape for body that you covet.

Burpees:

How to do it: From a standing position squat down until your thighs are parallel to the floor and place your palms on the floor. From there kick your feet back as far as you can while keeping your arms extended. As soon as your feet land jump them back in towards your hands, then jump up into the air. Land and immediately squat down to go into the next rep.

Why: When it comes to burning fat at home, few moves can do better then the burpee. Perfect for frying fat with zero equipment, work these into your home workout routine to ramp up your heart rate or set yourself daily challenges.

Plyometric, Jumping Lunges:

How to do it: Lunge forward until your rear knee is almost touching the ground. Jump into the air, bringing your rear foot forward and the front foot back. Land in a lunge and repeat. Land on both feet simultaneously to cushion the impact on your joints.

Why: Just like burpees, these are perfect for building up your cardiovascular system, but will also help you build faster, more powerful quadriceps. Ideal if your leg day has taken a hit.

Dumbbell calf raise:

How to do it: Stand holding a dumbbell in each hand with the balls of your feet on a step with your heels touching the floor. Raise your heels off the floor and hold at the top of the contraction. Slowly lower yourself to the starting position and repeat.

Why: Too many beginners are prone to skipping calves when it comes to leg day. Some guys are even getting surgery to fix it. Work this move into your workout to guarantee you're hitting as many leg muscles as you would in the gym when it comes to exercise at home.

Spiderman Press-Up:

How to do it: Get into a traditional press-up position. Lower yourself toward the floor and bring your right knee to your right elbow, keeping it off the ground. Press back up and return your leg to the starting position. Repeat with the alternate leg.

Why: Perfect if you're looking to get some mobility in before a workout or just want to switch up your chest routine, Spiderman press-ups are the perfect alternative if you're looking to scale things up.

Bicep curl:

How to do it: Stand with a dumbbell in each hand and, keeping your upper arms stationary, curl the weights until the dumbbells are at shoulder level. Focus on keeping your elbows still – only your lower arm should move. Squeeze your bicep at the top of the contraction then lower slowly and repeat.

Why: This is the perfect move for developing those mirror muscles you crave. By keeping your upper arm stationary you hit the whole bicep for maximum growth.

Dumbbell step-up:

How to do it: Stand in front of bench with a dumbbell in each hand. Place your right foot onto the bench, push up through your heel to lift your whole body up. Step down with your left foot and repeat on the opposite side.

Why: By activating all of your upper leg muscles (glutes, quads and hamstrings) it's an entire leg day in one move. Plus, it's low-impact, which is means you avoid the knee injuries associated with more explosive exercises.

Plank:

How to do it: Get in a press-up position, but rest on your forearms rather than your hands. Make sure your back is straight and tense your abs and glutes. Hold without allowing your hips to sag.

Why: Endless crunches put pressure on your spine and, when done incorrectly, can give you a set of weird, distended abs. Planks are perfect for working your core in a way that keeps you injury-free and builds the flat six-pack you're after.

Deadbug:

How to do it: Lie on your back with hands above you and feet up so your knees are at 90 degrees. Straighten your leg until your heel is an inch from the floor and then return to the start position. Repeat with the other leg.

Why: By extending your legs and hovering your heels you work on your core stabilizers, not just your abs. That means you're building muscle you can use on the sports field, not just see in the mirror.

Tips for home exercisers:

The experts offer some other tips for home exercisers:

Challenge yourself and avoid boredom. At home, you won't have the variety of equipment and classes that are available at a gym. So surf the Internet and browse fitness magazines to check out new workouts and make sure you're exercising correctly. "Pictures are everything. Use them as a guide for form and technique," Swain says.
Find an exercise partner. You'll be less likely to find excuses when you've arranged to work out with a friend.
Schedule your workouts. "Have a plan," says Calabrese. "Look at a planner and write out your exercise appointments one month in advance. If something comes up and you have to change one, reschedule it immediately."
Use a journal to track your progress and jot down any breakthroughs you may have. When you have a bad day, write that down, too, to help you to find patterns you can break. For example, you may find an egg-white omelet gets you through your morning workout better than a bagel.
Set goals, like training for a race or losing 20 pounds. "A goals should be something you can't do right now, but you know is within your reach," Calabrese says. Give yourself mini-rewards along the way: a new fitness magazine, those workout tights you've been eyeing, or a new pair of sneakers.

How To Loss Weight Fast

2020-07-05T04:26:00.023-07:00

Introduction to weight loss:

Whether your weight-loss goals involve trying to lose 5 pounds or more than 50, the same principles determine how much weight you lose and how fast your weight loss will occur. Remembering the following simple healthy eating diet tips and putting them into practice can lead to weight reduction without the aid of any special diet plans, weight loss programs, fitness books, or medications.

Our body weight is determined by the amount of energy that we take in as food and the amount of energy we expend in the activities of our day. Energy is measured in calories. Metabolism is the sum of all chemical processes within the body that sustain life. Your basal metabolic rate is the number of calories (amount of energy) you need for your body to carry out necessary functions. If your weight remains constant, this is likely a sign that you are taking in the same amount of calories that you burn daily. If you're slowly gaining weight over time, it is likely that your caloric intake is greater than the number of calories you burn through your daily activities.

There are many ways to lose a lot of weight fast:

That said, many diet plans leave you feeling hungry or unsatisfied. These are major reasons why you might find it hard to stick to a diet.

However, not all diets have this effect. Low carb diets are effective for weight loss and may be easier to stick to than other diets.

Here’s a 3-step weight loss plan that employs a low carb diet and aims to:

significantly reduce your appetite
cause fast weight loss
improve your metabolic health at the same time

1. Cut back on carbs:

The most important part is to cut back on sugars and starches, or carbohydrates.

When you do that, your hunger levels go down, and you generally end up eating significantly fewer calories.

Instead of burning carbs for energy, your body now starts burning stored fat for energy.

Another benefit of cutting carbs is that it lowers insulin levels, causing the kidneys to shed excess sodium and water. This reduces bloating and unnecessary water weight (2, 3Trusted Source).

According to some dietitians, it’s not uncommon to lose up to 10 pounds (4.5 kg) — sometimes more — in the first week of eating this way. This weight loss includes both body fat and water weight.

One study in healthy women with obesity reported that a very low carb diet was more effective than a low fat diet for short-term weight loss.Trusted So

Research suggests that a low carb diet can reduce appetite, which may lead you to eat fewer calories without thinking about it or feeling hungry.

Put simply, reducing carbs can lead to quick, easy weight loss.

2. Eat protein, fat, and vegetables:

Each one of your meals should include a protein source, fat source, and low carb vegetables.

As a general rule, try eating two to three meals per day. If you find yourself hungry in the afternoon, add a fourth meal.

Constructing your meals in this way should bring your carb intake down to around 20–50 grams per day.

To see how you can assemble your meals, check out this low carb meal plan and list of 101 healthy low carb recipes.

Protein:

Eating plenty of protein is an essential part of this plan.

Evidence suggests that eating lots of protein may boost calorie expenditure by 80–100 calories per day.Trusted SourcTrusted Sou

High protein diets can also reduce cravings and obsessive thoughts about food by 60%, reduce the desire to snack late at night by half, and make you feel full. In one study, people on a higher protein diet ate 441 fewer calories per day.Trusted SourcTrusted Source

When it comes to losing weight, protein is a crucial nutrient to think about.

Healthy protein sources include:

Meat: beef, chicken, pork, and lamb
Fish and seafood: salmon, trout, and shrimp
Eggs: whole eggs with the yolk
Plant-based proteins: beans, legumes, and soy

Low carb vegetables:

Don’t be afraid to load your plate with low carb vegetables. They are packed with nutrients and you can eat very large amounts without going over 20–50 net carbs per day.

A diet based mostly on lean protein sources and vegetables contains all the fiber, vitamins, and minerals you need to be healthy.

Many vegetables are low in carbs, including:

broccoli
cauliflower
spinach
tomatoes
kale
Brussels sprouts
cabbage
Swiss chard
lettuce
cucumber

Healthy fats:

Don’t be afraid of eating fats. Trying to do low carb and low fat at the same time can make sticking to the diet very difficult.

Sources of healthy fats include:

olive oil
coconut oil
avocado oil
butter

3. Lift weights three times per week:

You don’t need to exercise to lose weight on this plan, but it will have extra benefits.

By lifting weights, you will burn lots of calories and prevent your metabolism from slowing down, which is a common side effect of losing weight.

Studies on low carb diets show that you can gain a bit of muscle while losing significant amounts of body fat.

Try going to the gym three to four times a week to lift weights. If you’re new to the gym, ask a trainer for some advice.

If lifting weights is not an option for you, doing some cardio workouts like walking, jogging, running, cycling, or swimming will suffice. Both cardio and weightlifting can help with weight loss.

Try doing a ‘carb refeed’ once per week:

If you need to, you can take one day off per week where you eat more carbs. Many people choose to do this on Saturday.

It’s important to stick to healthy carb sources like oats, rice, quinoa, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and fruit. If you must have a cheat meal and eat something unhealthy, do it on this day.

Limit this to one higher carb day per week. If you aren’t reducing carbs enough, you might not experience weight loss.

You might gain some water weight during your refeed day, and you will generally lose it again in the next 1–2 days.

What about calories and portion control ?

It’s not necessary to count calories as long as you keep your carb intake very low and stick to protein, fat, and low carb vegetables.

However, if you want to count them, you can use a free online calculator like this one.

Enter your sex, weight, height, and activity levels. The calculator will tell you how many calories to eat per day to maintain your weight, lose weight, or lose weight fast.

You can also download free, easy-to-use calorie counters from websites and app stores. Here is a list of 5 calorie counters to try.

10 weight loss tips:

Here are 10 more tips to lose weight faster:

Eat a high protein breakfast. Eating a high protein breakfast could reduce cravings and calorie intake throughout the day.
Avoid sugary drinks and fruit juice. These are among the most fattening things you can put into your body.
Drink water before meals. One study showed that drinking water a half hour before meals increased weight loss by 44% over 3 months.
Choose weight-loss-friendly foods. Some foods are better for weight loss than others. Here is a list of 20 healthy weight-loss-friendly foods.
Eat soluble fiber. Studies show that soluble fibers may promote weight loss. Fiber supplements like glucomannan.
Drink coffee or tea. Caffeine boosts your metabolism.
Base your diet on whole foods. They are healthier, more filling, and much less likely to cause overeating than processed foods.
Eat slowly. Eating quickly can lead to weight gain over time, while eating slowly makes you feel more full and boosts weight-reducing hormones.
Weigh yourself every day. Studies show that people who weigh themselves every day are much more likely to lose weight and keep it off for a long time.
Get good quality sleep. Sleep is important for many reasons, and poor sleep is one of the biggest risk factors for weight gain.

How fast will you lose weight ?

You may lose 5–10 pounds (2.3–4.5 kg) of weight — sometimes more — in the first week of the diet plan, and then lose weight consistently after that.

If you’re new to dieting, weight loss may happen more quickly. The more weight you have to lose, the faster you will lose it.

For the first few days, you might feel a bit strange. Your body is used to running off carbs, and it can take time for it to get used to burning fat instead.

Some people experience the “keto flu,” or “low carb flu.” It’s usually over within a few days.

After the first few days, most people report feeling very good, with even more energy than before.

Aside from weight loss, the low carb diet can improve your health in many ways:

blood sugar levels tend to significantly decrease on low carb diets.
triglycerides tend to go down.
LDL (bad) cholesterol goes down.
HDL (good) cholesterol goes up.
blood pressure improves significantly.
low carb diets can be as easy to follow as low fat diets
