5 Expert Plans To Help Lose Weight

Published

on

Taking care of our health and well-being is so important – and this could mean different things to all of us. For some, it may be getting enough exercise, for others, it may mean looking after their mental health. But another element that plays a role in creating a healthy lifestyle is weight loss. Losing weight can help improve your well-being in many ways and can change your life if you find a plan that suits you. Below, we’re going to look at 5 diets to help you find the best weight loss plan for sustainable results.

  1. WW

WW is one of the most popular plans to help you lose weight. Formerly known as Weight Watchers, WW is a diet that’s based on a points system. Each food is made up of a various number of points – the fewer points, the more you can eat. For example, some foods on the WW plan are zero points, like fruit and vegetables, eggs, and fish. This plan gives you a specific number of points you can use in a day to achieve your target weight loss. Although it can help you to lose weight, it allows you to balance your diet and still eat some of your favourite foods. You will have to pay a membership for this WW plan; however, it does give you access to the app, allows you to track easily and means you can take advantage of 1-on-1 coaching.

  1. Noom

If you’re looking for sustainable weight loss, Noom could be the best option for you. This app is based on building healthy habits. Like the WW app, it allows you to track your food intake with ease, and even categorises food for you, in green, yellow, and red depending on how nutritious they are. Noom users will base their diet on foods that are low in calorie density. You’ll need a monthly subscription with Noom, where you will be given access to a virtual coaching team, recipes, a tracker, and daily lessons. Noom is one of the best apps when it comes to making a lifestyle change for the better.

  1. PlateJoy

This is a plan specifically formulated to make healthy eating and meal planning easier. It’s an app that allows you to customise your plan depending on your goals, and any dietary requirements, and you can even work out portion sizes for all members of the family. PlateJoy means you can enjoy delicious, healthy food with ease – and it will even create a handy shopping list for you! This app means no more excuses when it comes to making a change.

  1. DASH Diet

This diet is great for those of us that are conscious about heart health. DASH is an abbreviation for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension – also known as high blood pressure. Having high blood pressure can lead to dangerous conditions later in life, so changing your diet can be a useful tool to help you reduce the chance of ill health. As well as giving you a good idea of the foods you should be eating daily, like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains, the DASH eating plan tells you how much of each food group you should eat a day, helping you to cut your intake of salt, and fat.

  1. DoFasting

This is one of the best apps for those that would like to try fasting when it comes to weight loss, but they’re unsure how to get started. This plan may not be for everyone, but it can help you to lose weight safely and sustainably. You will take a quiz on the app before beginning, to help create a plan that will be beneficial for your circumstances. From this, your app will calculate how many calories you’ll need, your water intake, and workouts to suit you. The app will tell you when to begin fasting and when to eat, so you don’t have to constantly keep track of time. You will be able to create a schedule that works around your day. It’s not just fasting that this plan can help with, but it also allows you access to thousands of recipes to suit all dietary requirements. You can track a variety of health elements like steps and have access to health and wellness articles to help you on your journey.

Music: Nocturne in D Flat Major “Un Rêve” by Brooklyn composer/pianist Eric Christian
Commissioned by ITNY for the upcoming Home Season and Gala in May 2023
A duet by ITNY ice artists Liz Yoshiko Schmidt and Danil Berdnikov, the piece explores “Timelessness.” This piece will preview at Bryant Park before its performance at ITNY’s Home Season and Gala.
“Every shape that my body can make… flowing from one movement to another, being able to see yourself in yourself in your mind’s eye… connected with every creature that has lived or died,” said Lorna Brown.
Danil Berdnikov hails from the city of Samara, Russia, from which he competed as part of the junior national team as well as across his vast native land through high school. He then moved to Moscow both to continue his education and to join Stage Entertainment Russia to begin performing as a skater. Performing for an audience allowed Danil to fall in love with skating in a new way and his career has blossomed over eight years with Willy Bietak Productions and Wheeler Productions in the United States, Stageworks Worldwide Production in the UK and Holiday on Ice Productions and Dynamic Shows Entertainment in the EU. ITNY welcomes Danil as an artist, grateful to his parents, coaches, choreographers, and the fellow skaters who have supported him along the way.
Elizabeth (Liz) Yoshiko Schmidt has been skating with ITNY since 2017. Luscious edges, artistic dynamic movement, and traditional ice dancing and fundamentals in figures inform her skating and professional career which began in 2013, at the age of 18, performing internationally in Germany, France, Austria, Egypt and across the United States. A Japanese/German American skater who hails from Chicago, IL, she recently moved from San Francisco, CA, to New York City. A U.S. Figure Skating double gold medalist in Freestyle and Moves in the Field, and a silver medalist in Ice Dancing, Liz received her BFA in painting from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2018, and has exhibited her paintings and art work across the Bay Area. Liz took Jazz Fusion dance class at the Alonzo King Lines Dance Center in San Francisco from Lynn Brilhante for 7 years. Her former skating coaches are: Lorna Brown, Beata Handra, Paul Spruell, Phillip DiGuglielmo, Louis Vachon, Audra Shindo-Chan, and most importantly Larry Holliday (African American 6x US Adult Nationals Campionship champion, former Ebony on Ice performer and her first coach).
Lorna Brown, a British and World Professional Champion and World and Olympic coach, has been a principal performer in numerous ice shows across the globe, including John Curry’s Ice Dancing on Broadway and Theatre of Skating at the London Palladium. She has appeared in TV specials, touring galas, and commercials worldwide and has studied contemporary dance, working with some of the world’s leading choreographers. She has coached and choreographed for over 50 national champions including two world professional champions. Lorna most recently choreographed for Emanuel Sandhu, (three-time Canadian Champion), Kevin Van Der Perren (Belgium Champion, two-time European medalist and 2011 silver medalist in Bratislava and Skate America) and Jenna McCorkell (10-time British Champion). Lorna has given workshops on all aspects of figure skating at National and International seminars for both skaters and coaches. She has produced and directed her own international skating school in the UK called Skate of the Art with the world-famous Rafael Arutunian. She specializes in the latest physics and aerodynamics in skating techniques, focuses a great deal on expression and style in her choreography, and has written several articles for skating magazines on these subjects. Lorna moved to the USA several years ago, has been awarded the PSA Level 7 ranking and holds a Bachelor’s in sports science. “Timelessness” is Lorna’s second commission for ITNY.

Mesh WiFi: Boost Your Internet Connection Throughout the Entire Home

Published

on

By

Have you ever struggled with slow internet speeds, buffering videos, or dead zones in your home? If so, you’re not alone. Traditional WiFi networks often need help to provide consistent coverage throughout a home, especially in larger or multi-story houses. That’s where Mesh WiFi comes in. 

From the birth of the commercial internet in the 1990s to 93% of Americans using it today, the internet has changed a lot. However, our Wifi seems to have stayed the same since we got access to it. But Mesh Wifi is here to change that. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at what Mesh WiFi is, how it works, and whether it might be the solution you’ve been looking for.

Understanding The Basics of Wifi

Wifi is a technology that allows you to connect to the internet wirelessly. According to Britannica, it uses radio waves to transmit data between your devices and your router, which is connected to your modem. However, traditional WiFi routers have some limitations that can impact your internet connection. The first limitation is the Wifi “dead zones” we keep finding around the house.

Additionally, obstacles like walls and interference from neighboring networks can further impact signal quality. Traditional routers also require manual updates and can be difficult to set up for optimal performance. These limitations can be frustrating for users, which is why newer technologies like Mesh WiFi have emerged to provide better coverage, improved signal strength, and advanced features.

How Mesh WiFi Can Improve Your Internet Connection

Now, how exactly can Mesh WiFi improve your internet connection? Well, one of the main advantages of Mesh WiFi is that it can eliminate the dead zones that often plague traditional WiFi networks. Instead of relying on a single router to provide coverage, Mesh WiFi systems use multiple interconnected nodes to create a seamless network that can extend throughout your entire home. 

This means that you can finally say goodbye to weak signals, dropped connections, and frustrating buffering delays. On top of that, companies like Wow Way are actively working to bring the price of mesh Wifi down to make it more affordable. With Mesh WiFi, you’ll be able to enjoy fast and reliable internet speeds in every room of your house, no matter how far away you are from the router.

The Advantages of a Mesh WiFi System for Your Home

Mesh WiFi can provide seamless coverage throughout your entire house, eliminating dead zones and ensuring that you have a strong, reliable signal no matter where you are. But more importantly, Mesh WiFi systems often include advanced features like automatic updates, parental controls, and device prioritization, making it easy to manage your home network and keep your family safe online. 

Plus, Mesh WiFi is highly flexible, allowing you to easily expand your network over time and add new devices as needed. All in all, a Mesh WiFi system can provide a fast, secure, and easy-to-manage home networking solution that’s perfect for modern households.

Selecting the Best Mesh Wifi System for Your Needs

With so many Mesh WiFi systems on the market, it can be tough to know which one is right for you. To make the selection process easier, consider your needs and budget. Do you have a large home or multiple floors that need coverage? Are you looking for advanced features like parental controls or device prioritization? Do you want to expand your network over time? 

You should also read reviews and do your research to find out which systems have the best reputation for reliability, security, and performance. PC World recommends that you also check the coverage of individual mesh nodes when you make a selection. Better coverage from each of them would mean you need fewer nodes in your house, keeping them from turning into an eyesore. 

Understanding The Cost of Mesh WiFi 

Mesh WiFi systems offer many advantages over traditional routers, but they do come with a higher price tag. A good Mesh WiFi system can cost anywhere from $100 to $500, which may be a significant investment for some households. However, it’s important to consider the long-term benefits of Mesh WiFi when weighing the costs. 

With a Mesh WiFi system, you can enjoy seamless coverage throughout your home, faster speeds, and advanced features like parental controls and device prioritization. Plus, Mesh WiFi systems are designed to be easy to set up and maintain, so you can avoid the frustration of dealing with dead zones and dropped connections. 

Another piece of good news is that according to the New York Times, most people who want mesh WiFi can buy a useful system for around $200. But ultimately, the decision to invest in a Mesh WiFi system will depend on your specific needs and budget, but for many households, the benefits can make it a worthwhile investment.

Mesh WiFi is a newer technology that can greatly improve the internet experience in your home. While it may require a higher initial investment than traditional routers, the long-term benefits can make it a worthwhile investment. With the increasing demand for reliable and fast internet, Mesh WiFi is likely to become even more popular in the coming years.
