Eco-keto makes a low-carb diet more environmentally friendly—but it’s not for everyone
June 05, 2019 at 11:46AM by CWC Ever since the ketogenic diet exploded into the mainstream last year, it’s spawned dozens of variations like keto cycling, targeted keto, dirty keto, and more. But as people are becoming more and more aware of the environmental impact of their favorite foods, another iteration of the eating plan aims to address some shortcomings of the red meat-heavy original: eco-keto. What’s that? Well, it’s like standard keto in terms of macronutrient breakdown of fat, protein, and carbs, but with a sustainable bent. “The exact definition of eco-keto is ever evolving and can be personalized. In essence, it’s an eco-friendly version of the ketogenic diet—a high fat, moderate protein, very low carb lifestyle, but one that emphasizes plants, limits or eliminates meat [and] animal products, and promotes sustainable choices and shopping locally,” explains Pam Nisevich Bede, MS, RD, CSSD, LD, a registered dietitian and keto expert with Abbott’s ZonePerfect. Unlike the more mainstream interpretation of the ketogenic diet (butter and bacon, anyone?), eco-keto involves zero (or very few) animal-based foods (hence the “eco” part of the name), while still putting a person into ketosis. The concept is very similar to the “Ketotarian” diet, which was started by Will Cole, DC. “The basic premise includes limiting animal products while still aiming to stay in ketosis. Dr. Cole started this trend, and eco-keto is merely an offshoot,” says Sam Presicci, MCN, RD, LD, CPT, and lead dietitian at Snap Kitchen. However, while Ketotarian followers can eat eggs, ghee,

This 6-move butt workout will give you a perkier peach in 5 minutes flat
June 05, 2019 at 11:29AM by CWC This morning, my butt and I experienced our first ever “chair Pilates” class at Chaise Fitness in New York City. And six hours later, I we are already sore. And when I checked myself out in the mirror after class, I swear that the derriere of mine looked perkier than it was when I walked in. Despite the fact that the Chaise class took place on a very fancy and effective piece of equipment (that looked and felt vaguely like a torture device), master trainer Lauren Pascone let me know that you can recreate the same type of booty-boosting workout at home on your own—all you need is a small medicine ball and some serious dedication (because, yes: it is that hard). Here, she shares her “butt blasting” workout, which targets your glutes, hamstrings, and lower abdominals, which will all amp up your ass in five minutes flat. It definitely did it to mine. Cycle through each move on the right, hold a quick child’s pose stretch, and then repeat on the left. Start kneeling on all fours with knees separated about a fist distance apart, shoulders aligned over wrists. If you need to modify, come down onto your forearms. Toe taps: Extend your right leg long behind you with a flexed foot and your leg straight. Lift your leg up until your heel is in line with your hip, then lower the leg back down and tap your toe on the ground. Repeat

Launching inclusive products every month is something companies like Tinder could really take pride in
June 05, 2019 at 10:37AM by CWC It’s Pride Month, but with all the brands launching limited-edition rainbow products and campaigns featuring vague “love is love” messaging, I’m not sure how you wouldn’t know that already. And like the true, queer introvert I am, I plan to celebrate by swiping through the eligible queer cuties in town for Pride from the comfort of my couch. Just in time for my swipe-athon, Tinder, in partnership with GLAAD, just rolled out a feature called “Orientation” that allows users to select from nine sexual-orientation markers: straight, gay, lesbian bisexual, demisexual, pansexual, queer, asexual, and questioning. And since sexuality is nuanced (which is not a new thing, yet still news to some), folks can choose up to three orientations on that list. This is a huge improvement from the platform’s previous “interested in” options, which were limited to men, women, or both. The noteworthy and thoughtful feature allow you to opt to have your orientation(s) appear in your bio or kept private, which helps keep users who are worried about being outed and/or who simply want to explore/experiment swipe more safely. And, you can choose to see people who share your orientation preferences, which may be appealing. For new Tinderers, choosing your sexual orientation is now part of the onboarding experience, whereas previously, “straight” was the assumed sexuality, so only non-hetero users were tasked with going into the back end and fiddling with their preferences. (Other datings apps would be wise to take note
