Easy Ways To Lose Weight Daily

Taking  probiotics  for your gut health is one thing. (Who's gonna say no to fewer stomach issues and more bathroom regularity? No one—that's who.) But can these teeny-tiny  bacteria —found in dietary  supplements  and fermented foods—help you lose weight, too? They  do  live in your stomach, after all. First: What the heck are probiotics anyway? Probiotics are live microorganisms that naturally live in your body already, according to the  National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health . "Probiotics are substances that encourage the growth of bacteria, specifically beneficial bacteria, that help to keep intestinal health in balance,” says Frances Largeman-Roth, R.D.N., author of  Eating in Color . “A healthy balance of good bacteria in the body may help regulate weight and ward off a range of health issues." So, can probiotics help with weight loss? Honestly, no one knows for sure—that's because most probiotic resear...

I'm not going to beat around the bush here: If you're on  the keto diet , you're probably  missing carbs —like, a lot. And with good reason: The keto diet, though it gives you the opportunity to eat all the  healthy fats  your heart desires, really restricts your carb intake (just 20 grams a day!). Cue the daydreams about twirling pasta noodles ever-so-slowly around a fork. But you don't have to give up your Lady and the Tramp fantasies for good. Enter:  keto pasta options (yes, it's really a thing—and it's not just spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles). Your main focus: varieties under seven grams of net carbs (that's total carbs minus fiber, FYI). So, yeah, your  fave semolina pasta  may be out of the running, but there are tons of other  low-carb options  you can dig into (and load up with parmesan cheese). Even better: Most of these keto pastas are available for purchase, so you don't have to pull any extra strings to have a leg...

Keto Krate Is The Snack Box Subscription You Didn't Know You Needed Snacking is probably one of the best things in life. But actually finding healthy, tasty snacks? Such a PIA sometimes. That rings especially true if you're  on the keto diet —no one wants to spend solid time in the snack aisle examining labels (like, subtracting fiber from carbs to find the total net carbs), only to leave empty-handed. Luckily, there's a  keto-friendly , subscription-based snack box does that work for you. It’s called  Keto Krate , and it delivers eight or more  keto-approved  snacks to your door every month. Here’s the deal: All of the snacks have five grams of carbs per serving or less—a hugely  important thing for keto dieters , who only get five to 10 percent of their calories from carbs. According to the company's website, Keto Krate snacks are also gluten-free, aspartame-free, and “conscious” of soy and sucralose, which they promise will never ...

The Best Protein Powders For Weight Loss If you think  protein powder  is something only CrossFit addicts and guys who grunt at the gym use to make #gains, you’re seriously missing out on a potent ingredient that could help you lose weight. "Protein plays a big role in  weight loss  because it keeps us full and satisfied so that we make it to our next meal without snacking in between," says Brigitte Zeitlin, R.D. Extra protein in your diet can also help fend off food cravings, she adds. But, while added protein can help with weight loss, it can also help you increase and maintain muscle mass—something necessary to burn fat, even when you're not working out, says Zeitlin. It also plays a big role in building and maintains that muscle, which in turn torches cals. There's just one small problem: With so many protein powders out there, it can be hard to choose the healthiest option. Zeitlin's main suggestion? Focus on the unsweetened kinds. "They...
