Trying to Lose Weight? Your Partner May Reap the Benefits, Too

You Need Posted on by

The partners who didn’t participate lost weight, too.

Committing to a weight-loss program can have an unexpected benefit: Your significant other may shed some extra pounds, too, even if they aren’t trying. That’s what researchers found in a new study on the so-called weight-loss ripple effect, published today in the journal Obesity.

The study, which was sponsored by Weight Watchers, tracked the progress of 130 married or cohabitating couples for six months. In all of the couples, one partner had a desire to lose weight, and both partners agreed to weigh-ins after three and six months. Half of the partners followed Weight Watchers, while the others received a four-page handout with healthy-eating and exercise tips, and were told to try to lose weight on their own.

The researchers wanted to see if one approach would work better than the other. As it turns out, they were both effective, and everyone involved lost weight. After three months, those in the Weight Watchers group had lost more weight (about 7.4 pounds versus 4.3 pounds), but by the end of the trial, both groups had lost about 14 pounds.

But the partners who didn’t participate — most of whom were men — lost weight, too. On average, people whose partners joined Weight Watchers lost about 3.3 pounds in the first three months, and about 4.9 pounds over the full six-month study. Those whose partners were given a self-guided weight-loss approach had lost about 2.1 pounds at the three-month check-in, and 4.2 pounds at six months. Because of the study’s margin of error, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant.

Lead author Amy Gorin, PhD, a professor of psychological sciences at the University of Connecticut, said in a press release that when one person changes their behavior, it’s not unusual for the people around them to change, as well. When one partner starts counting calories, weighing themselves regularly, or making healthier food choices, for example, their partners might emulate them.

Four or five pounds may not seem like a lot. But by the end of the study, about a third of the “untreated” partners in the study had lost more than 3% of their initial body weight, which the experts say has measurable health benefits.

Partners also tended to lose weight at similar rates: If one member of a couple lost weight at a steady pace, his or her partner did too, and the same goes for people who lost weight slowly.

“This data suggests that weight loss can spread within couples, and that widely available lifestyle programs have weight loss effects beyond the treated individual,” the authors wrote in their paper. They also suggest that programs like Weight Watchers could help more people by actively involving spouses and partners in the weight loss process.

Gorin says she and her colleagues next hope to look at whether the weight-loss ripple effect could go even further, to other family members who share a household, or to close friends or coworkers.

News24.com | Mike Mabuyakhulu should be given a chance to present his case – KZN ANC

You Need Posted on by

Durban – The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal says its provincial interim committee convener Mike Mabuyakhulu, who is accused of fraud and corruption, should be given a chance to present his case before a court of law.

“As the ANC, we wish to express our profound respect of the rule for the law and support all efforts towards fighting corruption,” the party said on Wednesday. 

The party said the allegations should be “treated in the fairest of manners”.

Mabuyakhulu, the former MEC for economic development and tourism, appeared in the Durban Commercial Crimes Court on Wednesday, together with three other accused.

He is accused of accepting money while he was MEC, after a R28m North Sea Jazz Festival was cancelled in 2012.

However, the ANC said his rights needed to be “fully observed”.

“The ANC further wants to reiterate the principle of presumption of innocence until proven otherwise.

“The presumption of innocence is part of fundamental rights which underpin the Constitution of our country and the functioning of our judicial system.”

News24 reported earlier on Wednesday that the court heard that companies headed by Mabuyakhulu’s co-accused were paid, despite the festival being cancelled. The formal charges he faces include fraud, corruption, theft and money laundering.

There have been allegations of political interference since Mabuyakhulu was appointed to lead the provincial task team.

He was kicked out of provincial government in 2016 when the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal – led by then chairperson Sihle Zikalala – fired supporters of the Senzo Mchunu faction.

News24.com | Controversial businessman Mark Lifman ‘illegally’ arrested – lawyer

You Need Posted on by

Cape Town – Controversial businessman Mark Lifman has been arrested and is in custody for allegedly pointing a firearm in an incident which happened in March 2017, but his lawyer says police have acted illegally.

On Wednesday night lawyer William Booth confirmed to News24 that Lifman was in custody.

“He was illegally arrested… There was no warrant for his arrest,” he said.

Booth, who was trying to secure bail for his client, said Lifman was arrested at Cape Town International Airport on Wednesday after arriving from overseas.

He said the incident Lifman was taken into custody for allegedly happened in March 2017, yet the complaint was lodged with police in January 2018.

Booth also said he had lodged a complaint against police for an “illegal raid” conducted at Lifman’s home which happened towards the end of last year.

It is understood the pointing of a firearm complaint was lodged against Lifman by a figure involved in the nightclub security industry.

Intelligence operation

On Wednesday night Western Cape police issued a statement on a 50-year-old Sea Point resident’s arrest. They did not name the suspect taken into custody.

Police spokesperson Captain FC van Wyk said the man was arrested during an intelligence driven operation carried out by organised crime detectives.

Van Wyk said the suspect was arrested at the airport just before 16:00 after landing on a flight from Johannesburg.

“He was arrested on charges of alleged intimidation and pointing of a firearm relating to an incident in Parow in March 2017,” he said.

The suspect, Van Wyk said, was expected in the Parow Magistrate’s Court once formally charged.

Lifman has recently been named several times during the bail application of suspected underworld kingpin Nafiz Modack.

Among claims against Lifman was that he controlled certain police officers.

Modack is accused of extortion and intimidation alongside Carl Lakay, Ashley Fields, Colin Booysen – suspected Sexy Boys gang boss Jerome Booysen’s brother and Jacques Cronje.

They face charges relating to the nightclub security industry in that they allegedly took over security operations at clubs and restaurants, forcing owners to pay them.

For a detailed breakdown on what has been happening in the underworld nightclub security takeover, see News24’s showcase Underworld Unmasked

The group was arrested on December 15 and shortly afterwards lodged an application to be released on bail. 

During this application, it has emerged that Modack and Lifman are part of rival factions involved in trying to dominate nightclub security.

The bail application centering around Modack is expected to continue on Monday.
