Medical experts weigh in on an online video advertisement that implies women can rapidly lose weight and "eliminate toxins" by inserting a "detox pearl" into their vagina. Doctors of gynecology who are members of the leadership team at The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) told Lead Stories that this claim is medical misinformation.

There’s plenty of anti-aging products on the market that claim to give you noticeably younger-looking skin in just a week or a month.

We spoke to top medical experts who share their personal picks.

If you're looking to drop a few pounds this year, you may be looking for a quick fix that doesn’t taste like tar, cardboard, or cabbage. Enter juicing, an eating approach that replaces solid food with liquid produce to create a caloric deficit—and typically doesn’t taste half bad.

Before we go any further, let's establish the fact that it’s basically impossible to lose five pounds in a week. Trying to lose this much this quickly is dangerous, from a physical health perspective first and foremost.

Welp, TikTok is here with yet another problematic challenge. And like the 75 Hard Challenge, this one involves a very specific assignment for a very specific amount of time in the hopes of changing the way your body looks. How fun for us!?

Whether you’re trying to lose 20 pounds or just looking for ways to be healthier, there’s no shortage of diets to choose from. But only one looks to your blood type to determine what you should or shouldn’t eat.

You can't choose where you lose fat first (like from your thighs or belly), but if you want to shed it quickly, "you must expend more calories than you ingest," Charles Seltzer, MD, DABOM, CEP, a board-certified bariatric physician based in Philadelphia, PA, told POPSUGAR.

You’ve got a weight-loss goal. You’ve got a plan for making that goal happen. And you’ve got a scale in the corner of your bathroom to keep tabs on your progress along the way. So you’re good to go, right? Not so fast: Just because you step on a scale periodically doesn’t necessarily mean you're using it in a productive way. You can't exactly hop on whenever the mood strikes and expect to gain meaningful information from it.

The only real way to know if running will help you lose weight is to try it, says Charlie Seltzer, MD, a weight loss physician and exercise physiologist based in Philadelphia, PA. “Some people can do mini-sprints for 10 minutes three times a week and get some weight loss. But you also see people who train for Ironman triathlons who don’t lose any weight, even though they’re running 50 miles a week.”

Researchers from the University of Georgia reveal that people who weigh themselves daily during times when they may be more likely to indulge — the holidays and vacations, for example — will more successfully maintain their weight or even lose some compared to people who don’t dare step on the scales.

You likely know the bright yellow-orange spice from your fave Indian dishes (think: curry and chicken tikka masala) or picture-perfect golden milk lattes on Insta. But turmeric—which has been a staple of Southeast Asian cuisines and traditional Chinese and Ajurvedic medicine for centuries—also seems to be the latest star of the wellness world. Proponents preach that it can help with everything from pain relief and weight loss to immune health and mood.

When it comes to weight loss, you know just about everything you’re supposed to remove from your life — processed foods, a couch potato habit, soda. But losing weight doesn’t have to solely be about subtraction. In fact, the most successful weight-loss plans work well because they include additions like healthy foods, positive thoughts and more.

The older I get, the more sit-ups I do, and the more I just can't kick my own belly fat. I'm constantly asking myself: Is it my slowed-down metabolism? The greasy pizza I like to practically inhale? Or just plain old genetics? I can't tell what is causing that stubborn fat around my belly that just doesn't seem to go away.
