Right, before we get going, a disclaimer: exercise is one of the most powerful ways to take control of your health. Not only can it prevent heart disease, strokes, metabolic syndrome, Type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s and cancer, it has been shown to help with depression, insomnia and stress. So exercise is good for you and you should go for a run as soon as you've finished this article. However ... when it comes to weight loss, exercise is no silver bullet. There are two reasons why I say this. The first is physiological. Recent studies suggest that it just isn’t as simple as doing more exercise to lose weight. “Both physical activity and diet are important to weight control, but if you are fairly active and ignore diet, you can still gain weight,” according to Dr. Walter Willett, chairman of the nutrition department at the Harvard School of Public Health, and a co-author of an authoritative study of the topic. Diet plays more of a role in weight loss than exercise – or to borrow Dr Willett’s words: “you can’t out train a bad diet”. The advice for a long time has been to “eat less, and do more”; many health professionals are now calling this mantra into question. The simple fact of the matter is: if you increase your levels of exercise you will need to eat more. In the short term you may get some limited weight loss results from limiting your calorific intake, but the benefits, like the method, are completely unsustainable. What seems to be more important is what you eat as opposed to how much you eat. Different foods affect your body in different ways. The human body is a highly complex biochemical system with elaborate processes regulating energy balance. Furthermore, different foods and macronutrients (fats, protein, carbohydrates) have significantly different effect on our hormones and the parts of our brain that control hunger and eating behaviour. Protein, for instance, stimulates the release of the satiety hormone, meaning that you will feel fuller for longer after eating. On the other hand, carbohydrates can lead to spikes in blood sugar levels, which can leave you feeling hungry again after they drop back down. Finally, it is surprisingly difficult to burn large amounts of calories through exercise – and the calories burnt can easily be negated by your post workout meal. The second reason exercising for weight loss doesn’t work is psychological. Having been involved in competitive sports at a high level for most of my life, I understand what it takes to be in the best physical shape possible. When competing in national swimming, rugby and athletics competitions, my focus was always on specific performance goals, not aesthetics or weight loss; these are by-products of an effective and sustainable training program. Obviously looking fit and healthy is great; it can help boost your confidence and overcome insecurities. However, lots of the common problems people encounter with exercise – such as imbalances, injuries, a lack of mobility and motivation – are often a result of making aesthetics their only goal. Putting how you look rather than how you feel at the core your training programme can be counter-productive, especially if injury breaks your routine and leads to extended periods of inactivity. Your reasons for exercising should be positive rather than negative: train because you love yourself, not because you hate yourself. Celebrate what your body can do, don’t punish it for what you ate yesterday. If you want to make your training sustainable, you must be clear about what your focus or reason for training is; it has to be about more than just escaping a negative body image. When you start to train for positive reasons you will start to enjoy the process rather than enduring it for the sake of your waistline. Enjoying your training and exercise helps integrate it into your routine; it can become something you prioritise and make time for. I often hear that weight loss is “80pc diet, 20pc exercise”. There may be some element of truth in this, but the simple fact is if you want to transform your fitness, health and physique you need to give 100pc effort to both your diet and your exercise routine. There are few workable shortcuts in the fitness game.

A 7.0-magnitude earthquake has killed at least 19 people and injured 247 in China's south-western province of Sichuan. Six tourists are thought to be among the dead, with up to 45,000 people evacuated from the area. A separate 6.6-magnitude tremor struck the remote area of XinJiang, injuring 32 people. More than 87,000 people were killed in an earthquake in Sichuan province in 2008. The quake struck at about 21:20 (13:20 GMT) on Tuesday about 300km (180 miles) north of the provincial capital Chengdu, and was 10km deep. China's Earthquake Administration (CEA) said more than 1,000 aftershocks had been detected, with the most powerful reaching 4.8 magnitude on Wednesday. Photos showed damage to buildings including a hotel in Jiuzhaigou, home to one of China's most famous nature reserves and a Unesco World Heritage site. Many tourists visiting the area remained outside overnight while waiting for evacuation on Wednesday. A restaurant owner in the town said this quake felt stronger than the 7.9 tremor in 2008, though there is no suggestion that the death toll could reach anywhere near the levels caused by that disaster. Tang Sesheng told the AFP news agency that many people were taking refuge in the main square. "People didn't dare grab anything like money or clothes - we just all ran outside right away," she said. 'Shocked and scared' President Xi Jinping called for "all-out efforts to rapidly organise relief work and rescue the injured people", state news agency Xinhua reports, and fire officers and soldiers have been deployed from nearby areas. Gwendolyn Pang of the Red Cross Society of China said it would take time to learn the extent of the damage and number of casualties. "Communications lines and electricity are disrupted and people are no doubt shocked and scared," she said. China's National Commission for Disaster Reduction, quoted by AFP, said as many as 100 people might have been killed and 130,000 homes damaged. Emergency response operations have been activated by transport agencies and local airports to aid evacuations and allow rescue vehicles into the area.

A tiny unmanned aircraft is hovering quietly above a green field in Buckinghamshire, offering its owner, Joby Stephens, an "eye in the sky". The drone is kitted out with a tiny high-definition camera that sends crisp images via wi-fi to a phone clipped to the drone's remote control unit. "The ability to film with a drone adds another string to my bow," the professional cameraman and producer says as he pilots the aircraft towards some nearby trees. "Being able to legally and safely deliver drone footage should be a great addition to many projects." Mr Stephens runs production company Jam96, which specialises in making behind-the-scenes videos on movie sets - places where there will invariably be lots of people. "In the environments I operate in, I need to be 100% safe," he says. So he has completed a training course for commercial drone operators. Reducing risk The course was run by Whispercam's Alistair Johnson, a former Royal Air Force pilot with a degree in aeronautical engineering and a day job as a commercial pilot with British Airways. "At the moment, anybody can buy a drone online or from a retailer and use it as part of a hobby or for fun," he says. Joby Stephens plans to use drones to make films "But if you want to do it in any commercial capacity, or in a congested area, you'll have to get a Permission for Commercial Operations licence from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA)." This requirement is not universally understood, and neither are the risks posed by drones, Mr Johnson explains as he goes through safety procedures before take-off. Whispercam's training field on the outskirts of High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire might seem safe to an amateur, but Mr Johnson is quick to point out risks. There's a private air field to the south and a military helipad to the north, as well as kites being flown overhead and curious people entering the field. "It's all about situational awareness," Mr Johnson says, as he checks a "Notice to Airmen" app on his phone, which contains alerts from the aviation authorities about potential hazards in the area. 'Automation-induced complacency' Flying a drone can be both surprisingly easy and extremely complicated, depending on the circumstances. Controlling its pitch, roll and yaw is simple even for the uninitiated, but knowing what to do if something goes wrong is another matter altogether. "There's very much more to commercial drone operations than flying the aircraft," says Mr Johnson. Drones are useful for capturing aerial footage "In aviation, things can go wrong very quickly." Pilots cannot simply rely on the automated safety systems included in some drones, such as GPS controls that prevent the aircraft from drifting with the wind, he explains. "There's always a risk of what we call 'automation-induced complacency'," he says. Having passed his flight test, film maker Mr Stephens is determined not to fall into that trap.

Families should focus on healthy living instead of weight issues when guiding children who have higher BMIs than their peers. Accountant Wendy Wong was surprised to learn from a Health Promotion Board (HPB) phone call last year that her preschool daughter Tan Yan Jie was severely overweight. "I just felt that she was fleshier and bigger than her classmates. I didn't realise she was overweight," says Ms Wong, 41. The proportion of overweight and severely overweight children in mainstream schools rose from 11 per cent in 2011 to 12 per cent in 2015. Children here are deemed overweight when they fall between the 90th percentile and the 97th percentile of the BMI-for-age percentile chart used by the Health Promotion Board (HPB). Children who are severely overweight have a BMI-for-age, a measure for body fat, at or above the 97th percentile. A six-year-old girl who is severely overweight would have a BMI-for-age that is 20.6 or higher. According to HPB, one in 10 of five-year-olds here is overweight. It adds that children who are overweight at seven years old have a seven-in-10 chance of being overweight in adulthood. Obesity in adults is also measured by calculating one's (BMI), defined as the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in metres (kg/m2). However, it is not age or gender specific. For Asian adults, a BMI of between 23 and 27.4 kg/m2 marks a moderate risk for cardiovascular diseases, while a BMI of 27.5 kg/m2 or more represents a high risk for such diseases. "In children and adolescents, BMI is age and gender-specific as there are differences in the amount of body fat as children grow, as well as gender differences," saysDr Han Wee Meng, head of the Nutrition and Dietetics Department at KK Women's and Children's Hospital. In August last year, Ms Wong and her family attended HPB's FunXplore workshop, a healthy lifestyle programme targeting parents and children. Among other things, they learnt food preparation tips as well as exercises and games that can be done at home. Subsequently, she and her husband, engineer Tan Cheng Kang, 41, started making lifestyle changes, including cooking healthier meals such as macaroni soup and doing more cycling, walking and swimming as a family. This helped six-year-old Yan Jie, the younger of their two daughters, reduce her BMI-for-age from 22.5 to 21.3 in less than a year. While healthy living programmes, including HPB schemes aimed at overweight children and adolescents, are available, parents are important role models in the fight against childhood obesity. An HPB spokesman tells The Sunday Times: "Children look to their parents as their first role models and take healthy lifestyle cues from them. For example, parents should provide their children with balanced meals, which include brown rice, meat or fish, fruit and vegetables. "Parents should also make time for regular physical activity and treat it as fun, family bonding time." While Ms Wong and Mr Tan do their part, she says she has also had to "educate" her own parents, who are Yan Jie's main caregivers. The grandparents often gave her her favourite snacks, a practice they have since stopped, causing the girl to sometimes grumble about not getting what she used to eat. The grandparents now give her meals with added fibre, such as brown rice mixed with white rice. "They used to cook a lot of sausages, for instance. I asked them to stop and they did, but they said, these are foods that your child loves. It's different from our time. We ate anything our parents cooked," says Ms Wong. Even Yan Jie's elder sister has been roped in to help her. She looks up to nine-year-old Yan Yu, and emulates her sister, who does not like French fries and orders corn instead of fries at McDonald's on the rare occasions they eat there, says Ms Wong. Eating out presents another challenge for overweight children, especially when they begin buying their own food. Ms Jasmine Ma, whose only child, 10-year-old Javier Chan, is overweight, tries to steer him away from fried Western food and towards lower-calorie options such as noodle soup. At school, he has to learn to make healthier choices. Javier, who used to eat laksa during recess up to five times a week, says: "Now I always make an appointment with my friends to play catching every day so I have no time to eat laksa. I usually eat healthier food such as peanut butter and bread." Ms Ma, who does administrative work, is health-conscious. She says: "As parents, we want our kids to be healthy. We have to teach them. Whether they follow or not is another thing," she says. She is married to an engineer. The couple are in their 40s. She has noticed that Javier, who took up swimming earlier this year, has slimmed down, although she declines to provide figures. Part of his motivation to lose weight has been the name-calling he has had to endure in the past. "Sometimes, my friends said I'm a slowpoke or a pig. I don't want them to say it. Now, they don't say this to me anymore because we get along quite well," he says. Dr Yvonne Lim, a consultant at the Division of Paediatric Endocrinology, National University Hospital (NUH), says she has encountered overweight children who have been bullied and who feel "ugly" or suffer from low selfesteem, poor body image or depression. "How the child deals with it depends a lot on how resilient he is, how good the family support is, and how supportive the school is," she says. Dr Lim, who runs the Youth Lifestyle Change Clinic at National University Hospital, a multi-disciplinary weight management clinic, recommends replacing negative words with "more positive and nurturing" words. She adds: "Try to move away from using weight as a target, for example, losing 1kg a month, and focus on healthy living, such as limiting the number of sweetened drinks." Dr Lim stresses that achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is for the long haul. "Even if an adult successfully loses weight, sustainability is the difficult part. The strategy for kids is a bit different. They're still growing and we don't advocate dieting. They need nutrients and should have three main meals a day," she says. The rate of weight gain might decrease as the child grows taller and/or pursues a healthy lifestyle, she adds. Junior college student See Jun Sheng, 17, says he has been overweight since the age of 10, but it was only in recent years that he began to understand the health risks of being overweight and take ownership of his health. KKH's Dr Han says: "Being overweight increases the risk of many diseases, including heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes mellitus, sleep apnea, gall bladder disease and certain cancers." Jun Sheng, who is 1.74m tall, weighed 117kg at the end of last year but has since lost about 8kg, by making changes such as eating less fried food, which he used to eat almost daily. He says it was difficult to give up old habits such as "rewarding" himself with food as a treat. He once jogged every day for two weeks, but was discouraged and gave up exercising when his feet hurt. "When I was a child, being overweight didn't really bother me. When you're young, you don't think about consequences. Now, I'm taking care of myself," he says, adding that he fears getting diabetes as some family members have the condition. NUH's Dr Lim says one way to establish a healthy lifestyle is to understand what motivates the child. For instance, parents might consider replacing computer screen-time with Wii workout videos, rather than simply nagging the child to stop playing computer games. Primary 4 pupil Ramachandran Nikhil, 10, was identified earlier this year by his school, Keming Primary School, as being in the acceptable range of BMI-for-age, but was approaching the overweight range. His mother, IT professional Kasi Kanimozhi, who is in her late 30s and married to another IT professional, says she was worried he would struggle in the years to come when he enlists in National Service. Nikhil says it has occasionally been frustrating, for example, if he wants to eat just one piece of chocolate but is told by his mother or elder sister that he should not; or when he had to wake up 20 minutes earlier to walk to school, instead of being dropped off in the family car. He has since slimmed down, says his mother. "I found out it is helpful for me to be more active and learn what diet I should follow," he says. In recent weeks, he has also worn his mother's Fitbit, a device that tracks fitness measures such as the number of steps taken. "I usually take about 15,000 steps. I like to know how many steps I take," he says.
