According to Dr Paul Barrington Chell and Dr Monique Hope-Ross, authors of Beyond Weight-Loss Jabs, diets fail not because we lack self-control, but because there are broken mechanisms deep within our cells.
“We can fuel our bodies with either carbohydrates or fats, but these days, many of us snack constantly and base most of our meals around the staples – pasta, potatoes, rice, bread and cereals, and foods with added sugar,” says Dr Chell.
This three-day reset takes all the thinking out of it for you by meticulously planning:
• When you should wake up
• When you should sleep
• What you should eat for each meal
• The exercise you should do and when
• Some wellness trends to try to help you on your way

In the game, players can face extremism referrals if they choose to engage with groups that spread “harmful ideological messages”, or join protests against the “erosion of British values”. Even researching immigration statistics online is portrayed negatively. Try the game yourself to see if you would be referred to Prevent.

Gen Vladimir Padrino Lopez, the defence minister, was vital in securing her succession. Diosdado Cabello is the interior minister, whose Colectivos militia make him a vital cog in state repression. With the Máduros, they make up the “four families” who have run Venezuela since the death of Hugo Chavez. Now, Rodriguez faces the daunting task of balancing her cabinet’s demands against the looming challenge posed by Donald Trump.

After always being a member of the “just-one-more club”, a year of sobriety has made her skin clearer, she’s lost weight and the low-grade anxiety that followed a night on the tiles is gone. “These days, there is a simple joy in waking up feeling 100 per cent ready for what’s ahead,” Jenny says. Continue reading ➤ Below are two more articles that I hope will improve your weekend: | | Every week, one of our writers takes an unfashionable position, either defending a subject that’s been unfairly maligned or criticising something that most people love.  | LA Robinson Lifestyle Writer | In my four years of living in the UK, after my move across the pond, I’ve encountered many a cultural difference – fries are chips and chips are crisps, a proper pint of ale is served room temperature and you can gauge if someone is likely to inherit a family seat based on how they pronounce the word “room”. But the Britishism that grates me the most is how quietly everybody speaks in the workplace.
Seriously, is there some footnote in the Oxford English Dictionary that dictates “these words must be whispered”? I’ve been in many meetings where I couldn’t hear the figures being presented on account of the speaker’s volume and I often have to ask my colleagues across the desk to repeat what they’re saying once, twice, even thrice. Blame the incessant drone of office air conditioning, blame the bass-heavy concerts I’ve been to in my 29 years, or, perhaps, blame the social codes valuing politeness over assertiveness.
I understand the whole “whisper your worth” concept, wherein one doesn’t shout to make themselves heard like a 1980s Wall Street bro, but instead draws people in with a subtler communication style. Well, it’s working, dear colleagues – I’m leaning all the way in and across the desk bank just to hear you say “I’m popping out in five for a meal deal”. Not only is it inefficient, it’s a lot of effort just to hear about your prawn sandwich, Tom.
A North American dictionary, on the other hand, would be written all in capital letters if it could. There’s even an entire social media trend dedicated to eavesdropping on loud North American conversations in European restaurants. To that I say: at least you can hear us.

But his life was scarred by tragedy: his 15-year-old son, about to follow him into the professional game, died of heart disease.
Yorath drank to relieve the pain. In 2004, while driving in Leeds he was three times over the alcohol limit when his car struck a young woman, breaking her pelvis. He wrote in his autobiography: “After Daniel I couldn’t believe I almost killed someone else’s daughter.” | Yorath (right) was a key member of Don Revie’s all-conquering Leeds side of the 1970s | His remarkable life story also takes in the horrific 1985 Bradford City fire where he was present as first-team coach, and helped spectators to escape the blaze.
Gabby Logan, Yorath’s daughter, became a successful TV sports presenter, most recently on Match of the Day, after representing Great Britain at gymnastics.
There is much more to his career, including requiring a bodyguard while managing Lebanon and living in bombed-out Beirut.
