Walk off 100 + pounds

Not long ago, Gina Buck got on a scale and saw that her weight had crept to 287 pounds. She was shocked. And then she started to get really worried about her health. \"l said, 'I'm not getting any closer to 300 pounds,\"' recalls the South Carolina retiree, 65, who has five beautiful granddaughters she wants to see grow up. \"So l went to the doctor for diet pills.\" Her doctor, a no-nonsense woman who'd overcome weight issues herself, agreed to three months of appetite suppressants as a jump-start. But she also \"prescribed\" long-term strategies, including taking 10,000 steps a day and intermittent fasting. \"It all made sense,\" Gina recalls. But after a lifetime of yo-yo dieting, she was skeptical she could actually make changes and stick with them. \"Even so, l figured l had to try.\" So she found free phone apps to count her steps and help get her eating on track. What Gina didn't realize: At that very moment, scientists were finishing experiments on the same strategies she was about to try. And they would ultimately find that intermittent fasting has the power to help walkers like Gina triple their fat loss. Wow!

Who is Lady Gaga now? A Hollywood superstar, a pop innovator, and a much happier, more grounded creature altogether. But as Jonathan Van Meter discovers, she's still an ever-evolving puzzle all her own.The first four or five or six times I encountered Lady Gaga, in London or Paris or New York, backstage in Vegas or Madison Square Garden or the O2 arena, at the top of the Skytree in Tokyo or from inside a giant replica of her fragrance bottle at a party at the Guggenheim, or even when, six years ago, we hung out in her kitchen in Malibu and danced and cried while listening to music-Like, real Italian style, she said-every single one of those times, in all of those places, she was both there and not there.
