Mum-of-three quits energy drinks to lose six stone and still has 'loads of energy'
Danielle Broadway, a mother of three, has shared her transformative journey of shedding six stone (90 pounds) after she stopped consuming energy drinks daily. The 30 year old embarked on her fitness journey with the primary aim of improving her overall health. "If I lost weight it would've been a huge bonus for me, but I just wanted to feel better in my gut," she explains. Danielle admits that she 'always felt bloated', 'would get sick from the most random foods', 'was always breaking out' and 'hated the way' she felt on a day-to-day basis. However, things took a turn when she stumbled upon the Simple app during an online search. It was through this app that Danielle discovered intermittent fasting - a method that proved to be a game-changer for both her weight loss and, as she claims, her gut health. The fasting process involves eating within a specified 'eating window', with the most popular being the 16:8 split of fasting to eating. However, Danielle confesses that the journey wasn't easy, stating: "So I will be honest, the first three days were the hardest, because I was pretty much putting my body into shock by cutting out a lot of things that I was eating that were not good for me," reports the Mirror. "But the Simple app gave me some recipe recommendations that I used and they worked so well with my gut. I ended up dropping 42lbs in five months. And I changed nothing [else] about my lifestyle, I ate better, I felt amazing, I had all this sustained energy. I was able to cut out all energy drinks - I had a huge hankering for energy drinks. "I knew I had to cut them out eventually because I did not want to drink those for the rest of my life. But I was able to get off the caffeine, I have all this energy, my skin has not been breaking out, I feel amazing. I feel better in my clothes, I've had no issues eating anything. I really believe I reset my gut health completely. So I'm super grateful for Simple." Simple is an innovative AI coaching app designed for adults seeking a healthier lifestyle and aims to revolutionise the approach to weight loss, moving away from traditional restrictive diets. The app's methodology has been crafted by experts in nutrition, behavioural change, digital health, and medicine, offering a science-backed alternative for those looking to shed pounds. Currently, customers can take advantage of a special offer using the code REACH60 to enjoy a 60% discount. Upon joining, users complete a comprehensive survey that delves into their health objectives, tastes, and previous weight loss endeavours. Subsequently, they gain access to a suite of tools within the app, such as food logging, intermittent fasting trackers, and a nutriscanner to help decipher meal nutrition. Additionally, Simple provides daily exercise routines and introduces Avo, the standout feature – a personal wellness assistant powered by AI that promptly responds to user queries. Danielle reveals that following a challenging beginning, she's now completely dedicated to the programme: "Intermittent fasting is a lifestyle change, it's not something that happened over night for me. It took many, many months in order for me to fully commit to the lifestyle and now it's just part of my daily life. "It had a huge snowball effect into every aspect of my life. I learned how to do more things for myself, get into new hobbies, I started taking really good care of myself, I got confidence, and I got my life back. You need to be kind to yourself and celebrate these small victories." She continued: "If I had any advice for staying motivated with your goals, it's to be kind to yourself. It isn't a steady ascension, it's a constant up and down and the key is not to be discouraged when it is down. Celebrate the smallest victories, you are doing amazing things out there." If the Simple app isn't quite right, there are numerous alternative fitness apps on the market. Lifesum, for example, is a platform that reportedly assists users in monitoring their nutritional and exercise patterns, logging meals, workouts and various metrics whilst aiming to encourage healthier decisions. Another alternative might be Myfitnesspal, which ranks amongst the most popular tracking applications. Featuring capabilities such as meal planning, calorie monitoring and exercise programmes - it represents another reliable option. Both applications are available at no cost but also provide premium subscriptions for users requiring extra support and features. The Simple App boasts an impressive 4.3 out of 5-star rating on Trustpilot, based on over 30,000 reviews. One user said: "I love this app because it's so easy and fun checking my progress and making sure I am doing it right." Another person said: "Honestly I wasn't really excited about doing any kind of exercise or healthy eating but this app has made it so simple and easy and it's actually kind of fun. If you know me, I don't do diets or exercise at all, so that says a lot for this app." Not every app or fitness regime will be for everyone and some others did share opposing views on Simple. One user said: "It's too busy, simplify the app." Another said: "I don't understand it 100%." "The customer service response time was amazingly fast," another user said. "They were very helpful, very quick. Thank your team for being great." For those interested in giving the Simple app try, there's currently a promotional offer of 60% off using the code REACH60.

‘Jurassic World: Rebirth' brings fans back to dangerous dinosaur realm
'It imprinted on me very deeply,' she told Reuters at the London premiere at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square. The 'Black Widow' actor recalled seeing the first 'Jurassic Park' film at the movie theater when she was 10 years old. By Francesca Halliwell and Danielle Broadway LONDON (Reuters) -Scarlett Johansson's role in 'Jurassic World: Rebirth' made her recall her earliest memories of the dinosaur film franchise. 'For the next three decades, I was like, I would have done anything to be in a Jurassic movie in any capacity,' she added. The franchise, created by Michael Crichton, has spawned several films, merchandising deals and video games. 'Jurassic World: Rebirth,' directed by Gareth Edwards, follows a team of specialists that embarks on an expedition to a forbidden island, home to a research facility for the original 'Jurassic Park'. The specialists, played by Johansson and 'Bridgerton' actor Jonathan Bailey, must obtain DNA samples from three dinosaurs to achieve a life-saving medical breakthrough. The Universal Pictures film arrives in theaters on July 2. For Rupert Friend, this installment in the franchise is exhilarating. 'I love adventure. I love being taken on a ride where you don't know what's going to happen. I love the unknown. I love risk,' he said. For well-known science fiction director, Edwards, the pressure for the film to succeed did not hit until he arrived at the premiere. 'It's all front and centre here. It feels a bit weird to be honest. I can't quite get my head around it,' the 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' director added.

Brazilian DJ Alok fears visa removal for international artists in US
By Danielle Broadway INDIO, California (Reuters) - Brazilian DJ Alok brought a beaming blend of electronic dance beats to the stage on Saturday at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival despite the growing fears of international artists about the future of performing in America. "For me as a Brazilian, it's always been hard to get a visa. So, for us, it didn't change much," Alok told Reuters during an interview backstage at Coachella, held in Southern California. "But, of course, for Europe and others, they changed the rules, right?" he added. He heard about other Coachella performances being cancelled in 2025 due to visa issues and feels fortunate that he made it to the festival when other international artists could not. In the first week of April, British singer FKA Twiggs, who was scheduled to perfom at Coachella, cancelled her performance. She said that she was bowing out due to "visa issues" on the social media platform Instagram. She also cancelled her entire North American tour. With the Trump administration rapidly cancelling the international student visas of pro-Palestinian activists as well as revoking the legal status for 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans, international music artists have also found that they are not immune. In March, British punk rock band member of UK Subs, Alvin Gibbs, shared on the social media platform Facebook that they were allegedly denied entry into the United States while traveling to their performance at LA Punk Invasion 2025. Despite evolving visa policies looming, the music producer Alok did not fret about the future during his set. He moved his music to the next level. While Alok traditionally uses LED projections to create rows of artificial background dancers for his music sets, for his Coachella set, he evolved the performance with live performers dancing to his beats. "It was very challenging. I'm very used to doing a lot of crazy stuff in the shows, very integrating with new technology, but this one for sure was the most difficult," Alok said. We're dealing with human technology and the synchronizing. But it's also something beautiful because once we are connected in the same synergy, same purpose, we can do stuff that is extraordinary," he added, noting a desire to keep performance human instead leaning too much on artificial intelligence. "Art is made by soul," the singer said, later adding his appreciation for his guest performer, American singer Ava Max. Alok is best known for his 2016 single "Hear Me Now" and for his 2024 album, "The Future is Ancestral," which features nine dance tracks mixed with indigenous songs, some of which have been sung for centuries by Brazilian tribes.
