										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Teni Makanaki, known for her vibrant personality and catchy Afrobeats tunes, has recently sparked public concern over her significant weight loss while promoting her new single <strong>&#8216;Zion&#8217;</strong>, released on April 24, 2026.</p>
<p>The song features renowned artist Olamide and was produced by DeeYasso. Fans have reacted in various ways—some praise Teni’s discipline in achieving her weight loss, while others express nostalgia for her previous figure. As she shared on social media, &#8220;If you know Wetin I face to lose this weight you go happy for me,&#8221; indicating that her journey has not been easy.</p>
<p>That context matters because Teni, also known as Teniola Apata and the &#8216;Sugar Mummy of Lagos&#8217;, was previously celebrated for her plus-size figure. Her transformation comes during a period when body positivity discussions are prevalent in Nigerian music and beyond.</p>
<p>Public reactions remain divided; many fans appreciate her commitment to health, yet some miss the Teni they knew. One user tweeted, &#8220;Should we be concerned about Teni&#8217;s size or we should mind our business?&#8221; This highlights the ongoing conversation about body image in the entertainment industry.</p>
<p>Interestingly, the concern escalated to a point where Teni reportedly received <strong>57</strong> missed calls from loved ones advising her to hire security due to rising tensions around her appearance. Such attention underscores the pressures artists face regarding public perception.</p>
<p>In addition to <strong>&#8216;Zion&#8217;</strong>, Teni collaborated with Siraheem, Yosa, and Big Fish on another track titled <strong>&#8216;TRU$T FUND&#8217;</strong>. These collaborations reflect her continuous evolution within the Afrobeats genre.</p>
<p>As observers watch closely, it remains unclear how this shift in Teni&#8217;s appearance will affect her career trajectory or fan engagement moving forward. What is evident is that Teni’s journey resonates with many who struggle with body image issues.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2></h2>
<p>Calorie counting is often inaccurate and difficult for individuals to perform reliably, with the average person underestimating their daily calorie intake by around <strong>30%</strong>, which translates to roughly <strong>600–750 calories</strong>. This discrepancy raises questions about the effectiveness of calorie counting as a method for managing diet and weight.</p>
<p>The calorie values we use today trace back to research conducted around <strong>120 years ago</strong> by Wilbur Olin Atwater. However, Atwater&#8217;s calculations did not account for the thermic effect of food, which means that the body uses energy to digest and metabolize food, affecting the actual caloric intake.</p>
<p>Moreover, individual differences in gut microbiomes can lead to varying amounts of energy extracted from the same foods. A recent study in <strong>2023</strong> found that participants on a high-fibre diet absorbed fewer calories from their food, highlighting how dietary composition can influence caloric absorption.</p>
<p>In the UK and US, ultra-processed foods (UPFs) now account for nearly <strong>60%</strong> of all calories consumed. Participants on an ultra-processed diet consumed about <strong>500 extra calories</strong> daily compared to those on a minimally processed diet, raising concerns about the health implications of such diets.</p>
<p>Interestingly, minimally processed foods tend to be harder to digest, leading to higher energy expenditure during digestion. This suggests that the type of food consumed may be more important than simply counting calories.</p>
<p>Experts emphasize that not all calories are the same. Prof. Rosa Krajmalnik-Brown states, &#8220;Not all calories are the same,&#8221; while Dr. Adam Collins notes that UPFs are inherently high in calories, fat, sugar, and salt, complicating the calorie counting approach.</p>
<p>Some nutritionists argue against calorie counting altogether. Prof. Giles Yeo asserts, &#8220;My point isn’t that we need better calorie counting. It’s that I don’t think we should calorie-count at all,&#8221; suggesting a shift towards a more holistic approach to eating.</p>
<p>To manage weight effectively without the need for calorie counting, experts recommend focusing on a balanced plate that includes protein, carbohydrates, and vegetables. Additionally, incorporating <strong>30 grams</strong> of fibre and <strong>1.2–1.6 grams</strong> of protein per kilogram of body weight can help individuals feel fuller for longer, potentially leading to reduced overall calorie intake.</p>
<p>While calorie counting remains a popular method for some, its limitations are becoming increasingly clear. As dietary science evolves, observers expect a shift towards more intuitive eating practices that prioritize food quality over quantity. Details remain unconfirmed.</p>
