The third edition of Fat to Fit the Healthy Mag has officially launched on Amazon, featuring the powerful cover theme “Eat to Be Happy.” This new release invites readers to explore the transformative connection between nutrition and emotional well-being, offering science-based guidance on how food can actively support the production of serotonin, dopamine, and other feel-good hormones.

When we picture eating disorders, we usually think of willpower battles and calorie counts. A new review in Nutrients flips that script, pointing to the microbiome as a silent but powerful player. Italian researchers report that women with anorexia, bulimia or binge-eating disorder carry a distinct microbial “fingerprint” —less diverse, skewed toward bacteria that tweak neurotransmitters, appetite hormones and gut permeability— and argue these shifts may help spark and sustain the illness rather than merely reflect it.

If you’re on keto or just looking for a sugar swap that truly works, D-allulose could be the game-changer you didn’t know you needed. This rare, low-calorie sugar has been gaining momentum as a sweetener, but the key question is: does it mess with your gut bacteria or cause digestive troubles like so many others?

Oscar Mayer, one of the most recognized brands in deli meats, has just announced a recall that should catch consumers’ attention: its pre-cooked turkey bacon may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and reported by Consumer Reports, Kraft Heinz is voluntarily recalling roughly 20,000 packages of its ready-to-eat turkey bacon as a precaution.

It’s not just about what you eat or how much you move—when you eat and sleep may be just as important for your metabolic health. A recent study published in npj Digital Medicine shows that irregular meal and sleep patterns can significantly raise the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

For millions of people, starting the day without a cup of coffee is unthinkable—and the faster the prep, the better. But new research published in Nutrients is putting instant coffee under the microscope for a surprising reason: its possible link to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss in older adults.

For years, plant-based eating has been championed as the gold standard for a longer, healthier life and a stronger heart. But new research published in the American Journal of Preventive Cardiology serves as a needed reminder: not everything labeled “vegan” or “plant-based” is automatically good for you—especially when it comes to your cardiovascular health.

A new experimental drug may open the door to an alternative path for tackling obesity—one that does not rely solely on appetite-suppressing medications. Researchers at the University of Washington have tested a compound called CPACC, which works by stimulating brown fat to burn calories more efficiently, generating heat instead of storing excess energy.

A new analysis presented at Nutrition 2025 by researchers at Johns Hopkins University challenges the FDA’s updated definition of what foods can carry a “healthy” label. According to the study, the majority of foods and beverages consumed by U.S. adults—including many widely recognized as nutritious—do not meet the agency’s new criteria.

Fat to Fit the Healthy Mag gained firsthand insights into new findings presented by researchers from Loma Linda University at Nutrition 2025.

A study presented at Nutrition 2025 by researchers from Tufts University and several Chinese institutions examined the effects of vegetarian diets on healthy aging among older adults. Using data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), the researchers analyzed 2,858 individuals aged 60 to 79 who had a high potential of reaching age 80 without chronic diseases or functional or cognitive decline.

A newly developed blood test may soon change how celiac disease is diagnosed. Unlike current methods that often require patients to consume gluten again — risking painful symptoms — this test identifies gluten-reactive immune activity without reintroducing gluten into the diet.
