It looks like the global COVID-19 pandemic lockdown had a positive side, and many people lost some additional weight. I think this happened because of the huge stress. Sometimes, social media is too hysterical, so people start to get panic attacks after watching some TV shows. At least during the pandemic, some people didn't have to address any fitness service to build a good weight loss plan. Anyway, I find this news frustrating because someone needs to stop these social media be so hysterical.
