This Woman Eats 3,000 Calories a Day and Is In the Best Shape of Her Life

You Need Posted on by

Calories get all the attention in weight-loss culture. We're programmed to check the nutrition label of every food to scope out the calorie content. But the truth is, counting calories might not be the key to weight loss after all—and fitness influencer Lucy Mains is here to prove just that.

In two side by side photos of herself on Instagram, Mains shared how she became the healthiest and strongest she's ever been… by eating no less than 3000 calories a day. "Going from the photo on the left, barely eating anything a day and not being in the greatest place mentally [to] the photo on the right, currently, at the best place mentally and eating 3000 calories a day," she wrote alongside the images.

"I must say, this makes me beyond proud of myself. I've worked hard to get to where I am now and I'm still working hard to get where I want to be," she continued.

Mains admits she didn't always have a healthy relationship with food. In fact, there was a time when she said she was barely eating 1,000 calories a day in an effort to look "thin" and "skinny." She also focused on just doing cardio and some bodyweight training. Now, however, she's developed a much healthier relationship with food and lifts five or six times a week because that's what she enjoys doing most. (P.S. Not that we need to tell you this, but lifting weights does not make you less feminine.)

"[I've been] taking each day as it comes, enjoying the process and constantly educating myself no matter how many bad days I may have along the way," she wrote. "My relationship with food has gotten so much better over the years and I'm so glad! We must realize… food is our friend and it is our fuel. Can't go a car without fuel right? Think of us being the car and the fuel being our food!"

Mains analogy is spot on. It's important to remember that just because a food is higher in calories doesn't necessarily mean it's unhealthy. (Just take healthy fats as an example.) "While calories definitely matter, they aren't the only essential element for choosing foods," Natalie Rizzo, R.D., previously told us in The #1 Reason You Need to Stop Counting Calories.

"Replacing high-calorie junk foods with more nutrient-dense whole foods may help you lose weight," Rizzo continued. "But whether you're losing weight or not, nutrient-dense whole foods are sure to help you get and stay healthier. Remember that in some instances, such as if you're running a marathon or carrying a child, calories absolutely matter. But even in these circumstances, the nutrients inside your food are just as significant as the calories."

Mains ended her post by reminding people how important it is to set goals and stick to them, regardless of how long that may take. "Wherever you are currently at on your fitness journey, whether it's one month or one year in, you will get where you want to be," she wrote. "Just be consistent and stick to it. We find ourselves giving up too easily when things get hard or we are not getting what we want straight away. You WILL get there. Good things take time and please always believe in yourself."

Health24.com | Marathons can tax amateurs’ hearts

You Need Posted on by

While completing a full marathon is a goal for many amateur runners, new research shows a shorter endurance race might put less strain on the heart.

To gauge stress on the heart among 63 amateur runners after they had run either a full marathon, a half marathon or a 10km race, the researchers assessed levels of certain proteins that are tied to heart issues.

Risk of cardiac events

People who ran a full marathon had much higher levels of these proteins than those in the other two groups, according to the study published in the journal Circulation.

However, there was little difference between the three groups in 10-year risk for cardiovascular events – an average of about 3%.

“We typically assume that marathon runners are healthy individuals, without risk factors that might predispose them to a cardiac event during or after a race,” lead investigator Juan Del Coso said in a journal news release.

“But with the growing popularity of long-endurance races, the exponential increase in the number of participants, and the lack of appropriate training in some cohorts of amateur runners, our findings suggest that running shorter endurance races might reduce the strain” on the heart, said Del Coso. He is director of the exercise physiology laboratory at Camilo Jose Cela University, in Madrid, Spain.

The number of people in the study was not large enough to fully assess differences in 10-year cardiovascular risk, but the researchers said they plan to examine this in a larger group of runners.

News24.com | Sisulu wants probe into SA man’s alleged links to jihadist activities in Mozambique

You Need Posted on by

International Relations and Cooperation Minister Lindiwe Sisulu has asked local authorities to investigate allegations that a South African man was part of a jihadist terrorist outfit operating in Mozambique.

Andre Hanekom, 60, and two Tanzanians were arrested on Monday, and were named by Mozambican authorities as allegedly being part of a jihadist group operating in the region.

According to AFP, the group faces charges including murder and crimes against the state.

Allegedly, Hanekom was responsible for the logistics of the group and was shot while trying to resist arrest in August. Weapons were reportedly found at his home.

In a statement on Tuesday, International Relations and Cooperation minister Lindiwe Sisulu’s office said she had received a report from the South African High Commissioner to Mozambique Mandisi Mpahlwa on the charges facing Hanekom.

“The Minister views the charges in a very serious light and has requested South African law enforcement agencies to also investigate the charges with the aim of ensuring that no South African citizen become involved in activities that destabilise other countries, in particular our good neighbour and friend,” said her spokesperson, Ndivhuwo Mabaya.

Sisulu said South Africa and Mozambique shared a “very deep political history” and “very strong economic relations”.

“It is not acceptable that a South African citizen is in court for alleged involve[ment] in extreme jihadists activities that resulted in loss of life. South African citizens should spread love and peace across the SADC area, continent and the world,” Sisulu said.

Sisulu said that more than 800 South Africans are in prisons across the world for different crimes including fraud, drug possession and violent crimes, with the majority in the Americas for drug-related convictions.

“We are very concerned about South Africans in prisons across the world, but we are specifically concerned about South Africans who are involved in crimes and activities that seek to destabilise democratically-elected states. We have asked law enforcement agencies to look deeper into this matter. South Africans must spread peace and also be agents of economic development and political stability wherever they go,” Sisulu said.

She said that South Africa takes up its non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for a two-year term on January 1, 2019. The issue of extremist groups operating on the continent will be high on the agenda, she said.

Among the key priorities during the two-year tenure on the UNSC would be the silencing of guns in Africa, attending to the plight of women and children in conflict areas and coordinating a response to the rise of extremist groups.

“We go to the UNSC carrying an African mandate. The people of Africa have sent us to highlight their issues and to work with other nations to find solutions to their challenges. We are ready and our diplomats are ready,” Sisulu said.
