13 kg weight loss with simple science based technique: Woman says no pills, no fad diets needed
Losing weight often feels complicated, with countless diets, supplements, and 'quick fixes' promising results. But one woman, Pearl, proved that sustainable fat loss can be achieved with simple, science-backed strategies. In an Instagram post on August 12, she shared how she lost 13 kilograms in six months without pills or fad diets, offering practical tips based on evidence and consistency. Pearl started her journey at 78 kg and successfully reduced her weight to 65 kg over half a year. She highlighted that the key to sustainable weight loss is consistent habits supported by scientific principles rather than short-term tricks.

By consuming fewer calories than her body expended, Pearl's body accessed stored fat for energy. She noted that this principle of energy balance has been validated by decades of research, referencing Hall et al. (2016), who explain how calorie deficit drives fat loss. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Were So Beautiful Before; Now Look At Them; Number 10 Will Shock You Reportingly Undo Intermittent Fasting Pearl also followed intermittent fasting, limiting her meals to a six-hour window each day. She explained that this approach helps lower insulin levels, allowing the body to more easily tap into fat stores, while also supporting muscle preservation through increased human growth hormone (HGH) activity. Her post cites research by Ho et al. (1988) and Cahill (2006) on fasting and hormone regulation, as well as Varady (2011), which found intermittent fasting as effective as daily calorie restriction for fat loss. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pearl (@pearlpanjabi) Daily Movement: 10,000–12,000 Steps Regular walking was another cornerstone of Pearl's routine. She averaged 10,000 to 12,000 steps daily, noting that low-intensity movement burns calories, supports fat oxidation, and keeps metabolism active without intense exercise. This approach is consistent with findings from Ainsworth et al. (2011) and Heilbronn et al. (2005), which highlight the benefits of daily physical activity for weight management. Pearl stressed that there are no shortcuts or 'secret hacks' for fat loss. Her results came from combining a calorie deficit, intermittent fasting, and consistent movement. She encouraged her followers to adopt evidence-based strategies tailored to their lifestyle rather than relying on supplements or fad diets.

Stakeholder consultation by FSSAI charts roadmap for transparent, responsible food labelling in India
New Delhi [India], August 13 (ANI): The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) convened a high-level National Stakeholder Consultation on Food Labelling, Advertisement and Claims here in the national capital, bringing together over 700 participants from government, industry, academia, consumer bodies, and regulatory authorities. According to a statement from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the consultation aimed to review existing regulations, address implementation challenges, and align India's standards with global best practices to boost consumer protection, public health, and industry innovation. In her inaugural address, Health Secretary Punya Salila Srivastava stressed the importance of ethical and truthful practices in the rapidly evolving food sector. "We are now exposed to the entire world, which means we must adopt positive changes and scrutinise food products more closely," she noted, adding that such consultations are "vital" in shaping future policy. Nidhi Khare, Secretary, Department of Consumer Affairs, called for an end to misleading advertising and urged manufacturers to treat labelling as a "factor of trust" rather than merely a marketing tool. "Consumers should be left to make the final choice based on truthful and honest declarations," she emphasised, urging collective responsibility to ensure accuracy and transparency in product information. Sanjeev Sanyal, Member, Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, underscored the need for external validation of scientific claims in advertisements. He welcomed FSSAI's decision to implement all label changes annually on July 1, reducing uncertainty for the labelling industry. Additional Secretary, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Prabhat, warned against false health and nutrition claims, highlighting their potential to erode public trust and harm health. The event featured technical sessions on global and Indian regulatory frameworks, enforcement case studies, and interactive discussions. Stakeholders exchanged insights on industry accountability, consumer rights, and collaborative enforcement strategies, resulting in actionable recommendations to enhance transparency and trust in food labelling and advertising. This consultation is part of FSSAI's ongoing national dialogue series aimed at building practical, health-aligned policies through close collaboration with industry, academia, and consumer organizations.
