"No hope!?" It's actually the inverse, for years I've sworn I need to be in a constant slight caloric deficit in order to keep the weight off. Knowing the results of research like this gives me strength! Thank you.
Even just learning that I'm "a metabolically more efficient organism" after losing 40-50 lbs several years ago, makes me see the whole maintenance "problem" in a new light & that's exactly how we should frame it. I GET to play more tennis, walk more miles & garden for longer w/out needing to worry as much or as quickly about falling short on energy/calories compared to others.
What they're saying is that to hold a consistent weight loss you have to understand that you can't choose to exercise and diet to loose weight then return to your original habits. You have to make a PERMANENT change to your diet after losing weight and most likely permanent change in exercise intensity too. This study shows that they are developing potential treatments to help with the internal self-control. It does not suggest that it is impossible to maintain weight loss by yourself.
Lifestyle change is a forever change, not a quick fix or temporary solution. Therefore it needs to be realistic and maintainable, otherwise you’ve lost before you started. Make small realistic changes, do it bit by bit until you don’t even notice cutting out certain things. Make sensible swaps and changes, but don’t make it seem like a punishment and stop rewarding good behaviour because eating properly is something we should be doing regardless rewarding good eating habits with junk send your brain the wrong message.
this is my own personal experience, but I used to be orthorexic. I would be obsessed with how natural and “good” my food was. I would eat tons of veggies and lean meats and healthy fats from nuts and avocados. But I was gorging and getting fat because I was in a calorie surplus. As soon as i started counting calories I knew to lower them until I started losing weight. I can eat pizza and ice cream now and just as long as I meet my calorie goal for the day I lose weight!
I just read "The end of over-eating" by David A. Kessler. In it, he talks about studies where the body's regulating mechanism is no longer there anymore once you become addicted to foods high in fat, salt, and/or sugar. The food leaves you craving for more. The only way to be satisfied is to eat whole foods without adding in fat, sugar, and salt. You will eat a normal portion if you eat this way. If you eat the typical American diet, you will keep eating and eating.
WinterGirl other than the fact that I'd like to see some of the assertions in that book backed up by scientific studies rather than unsubstantiated personal opinion and antidotal evidence
Nope. "Good food" does NOT satisfy once you have acquired the addiction. It always tastes inferior to that blast of sugar and fat . . . don't kid yourself or others.
I lost 50 pounds over 50 years ago and never gained it back. True story. However, it is true that you can't keep dieting for long because it ruins your metabolism.
There is certainly truth in that. People who are genetically disposed to cancer will only cause those tumours if they eat what feeds them ... funnily enough. Sadly, there is an incredible amount of food in this world that causes cancer, and personally, I wish it was all banned. NO ONE deserves cancer.
I did not know what the doctors said about calorie needs going down for the weight loser. The take away message is the overweight person who loses weight must remain in diet mode in order forever to maintain that reduced weight. This is profound and important and should be taught to all dieters who probably never thought about that.
And the message needs to be heard loud and clear by every parent. DON'T LET YOUR KIDS GET OVERWEIGHT or you're setting them up for a lifetime of craving- suffering at best, premature sickness and death at worst.
WFPB lifestyle made my excess weight just fall off (and stay off for 4.5 years, with no hunger). It's not that difficult-WHEN you break away from the manufactured foods and fast foods of the industry. Eat real food, eat whole food, and make your foods. High quality, low-caloric density foods are the answer-for the long term. You have to eat more to weigh less. Presently eating two servings of dry oatmeal with three servings of assorted fruit, and spices. It's breakfast with plenty of fiber and sweetness, but zero added sugar or oils-which are the main calorie sources of the public. WFPB eating heals folks and this show totally misses it.
@@Moesie I'm six years healthier now because I fixed my gut biome. And now I'm working on the biome of the soils under my care--it's all related. For best understanding one must look into the microorganisms that we, and every other life-form on Earth, must have to be healthy. Tell me what does "hight (sic) fat keto diet" do for your overall health? The doctors I regard as the wisest understand and teach us how to find true health by taking care of the microbial life that enables all life. There's simply no way to get around that fact. A few of my doctors even tried low carb dieting, some promoted it when they were younger and less wise. They no longer do either. See Anthony Lim, MD, JD, or Garth Davis, MD (bariatric surgeon) to learn more about health and why they no longer find "keto" to be of any benefit for them or their patients or the public at large.
Yes the video resonated with me.I lost the weight four years ago, still haven't put it back on but the cravings!?Best way to sum it up is I have an ever present awareness of food. It isn't like I'm starving, I'm hungry though I want to say it's not quite that either. It's more like I'm obsessional about food in a way I never was before. I practice a LOT of mindful eating and structured eating to keep the weight off. Feel free to message me, hard to express a complex thought when there's a cha...
The Leptin thing is interesting, however, why try and fool the brain into thinking you're fatter than you are, rather we should be trying to figure out how to reset the brain's body weight "set point" so perhaps even before the weight loss your brain is keen to lose the weight in the first place. I mean if the brain can effect metabolic triggers to cause us to regain weight after loss, so too if the brain thinks you're overweight it will produce metabolic triggers to lose the weight. Instead of increase in appetite and reduction in metabolism, the brain will increase metabolism and decrease our appetite. So what's the mechanism in the brain that sets our body weight at X lbs? I'm keen on the idea of getting to the root of the problem rather than solving for the effect of being over weight, solve for the cause and yes, reduced calorie consumption and behavior modification is a key to that, but not having your own brain work against you and in fact maybe getting it to work with you in weight loss is best.
I think it has to do with leptin being very key to your body letting go of its fat stores. Which is why most low carb diets tell you to have some carbs every week to keep your leptin sensitivity up.
That's likely true too. I always thought of the "cheat day" on low carb as a chance to "reset our metabolism" T3/T4 specifically, but it can be a combination of many factors, but it does help to keep the weight loss moving.
Christopher Snow I believe part of the solution to the puzzle lies in reducing inflammation of the hypothalamus gland. I have been able to help my patients do this with nutritional supplements which have been available to health care practitioners for over 50 years.
well 6 years later reality has shown that these two docs did not know what side is up. They really talk some nonsense and did not understand the methabolic pathways of the hormones they are talking about
There's no such thing as a set point It's your habits. Smokers don't have a "set point" that keeps bringing them back to cigarettes, it's the nicotine addiction This is an addiction. Treat it as such. These people need to be in a 12 step program, not at a doctor's office
I have the solution which is to go on a whole-food, plant-based diet. Your body will be so well nourished by eating healthy that after about a month, you will start naturally losing weight with minimal calorie restriction, and your leptin levels will rise in response to the body getting the nutrients it needs. People on the whole foods plant-based diet maintain their weight loss for life. Good luck and God bless.
Vegetables is the way to go. If you can learn how to make vegetables taste delicious, you've cracked the code. I spent a month eating Vegan and I loaded up on so many vegetables that I literally didn't feel hungry for hours, sometimes I didn't crave food for 8+ hours (whilst awake). Trouble is, it takes more prep.
I am 71 years old . On my current diet I have lost 40 pounds in the last 6 months . 9 years ago I lost 100 pounds in less than a year . 20 years ago I lost 80 pounds in less than a year . And on and on . I have been on diets since I was 11 years old . I am a retired Carpenter , I was raised on an 83 acre farm . I have worked hard all my life . Hard physical work . I have 3 sets of clothes for different weights . I am very active and at this point have been consuming about 1500 calories a day for 6 months . Right now my glucose levels are great , my blood pressure is great , I have energy and feel very healthy . I have studied nutrition , I don't believe in fad diets . I eat a LOT of vegetables , and chicken breast . I eat 3 small meals a day , no potatoes , bread , rice , corn , pasta , sweets or sweet drinks . I believe I am healthy and active ( walk 3 miles a day ). I am just tired of thinking about weight loss and food constantly . I would prefer enjoying my senior years without the stress . I feel so sorry for all the people who fight obesity every day of their lives !!! It is easier to quit drugs than food .
The reason for this problem is the very fundamental error of assuming glucose is our main fuel. You have to become a fat burner. We are meant to use fat as our primary fuel for energy, not glucose. High insulin levels from eating too much sugar and starches blocks all fat burning. Plenty of info on this on youtube.
Only low functioning people post links and advice for market products to the people who come here for help. Marketing is the first problem in obesity and where it all started...
I also lost weight and the only reason I gained it was because I was eating the same crap that got me there the first time. As soon as I stop eating that crap I lose weight without even trying. I don't know how accurate this is, but it seems like they are saying we have a fat set point and if u get fat ur body will refuse to allow u to reduce the weight regardless if it's healthy or not.
I so agree with you.. This entire presumption of a "fat point" is pseudo science. It's about WHAT you put in your mouth. learn to cook and make all your food from scratch. STOP eating junk. Learn about nutrition, eat a good variety of foods. lots of vegetables, some meat/chicken/fish, no vegetable oils (hint hint, they are processed poison), butter, kefir, hard cheese (just a little), NO SUGAR, NOT FAST FOOD, NO SODA, NO MILK, just water, herb tea, coffee (without milk, without sugar), legumes, little rice or pasta...............and you WILL BE FINE
I did watch the video, in fact I watched the full thing via the related videos section. Did you? Because if you did you might want to re-watch it because you missed the incessant points being made about the fact that yes, weight is significantly controlled by biological processes, however it is possible to still lose and maintain weight loss through permanent consistent dietary change and regular consistent exercise. THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS 'DIETING'. the dieting they are referring to is yo-yo.
Take one month and dial your carb intake to less than 20g per day. You may be shocked to realize that fat retention is directly related to insulin, which carbs elevate. No exercise needed. I wouldn't skip exercise though. It's good for other stuff
If that works for you, go with it, but the Mediterranean diet works for me, and if I crank up my exercise at some point I will fuel it with lovely whole grains. Personally I' m feeling some trepidation with my healthy fat calories so near 50 percent. My lipid tests in 5 months' time when I should be another BMI point lighter will be interesting. They were perfect last time. There is no need to demonise macronutrients - apart from saturated and trans-fats. How do you live without BEANS???
None of this takes into consideration the most potent influence of all...the mind. Once you get your head around it, and keep it there, you've cracked it. It's different for each one of us. What motivates us is very powerful!
people like being victims and dont like to hear the truth unfortunately, they will blame everything from hormones, genetics, gmos, pesticides, chemtrails, everything under the sun just to avoid accepting responsibility and change. theres a great saying "if you want things to change, YOU have to change"
The carbohydrate insulin model of obesity is correct. Turn this video off no, learn about the carb-insulin model and put it into practice. You won't go hungry, you'll eat good food, you'll feel amazing, and you'll get thin and stay thin. Change your life RIGHT NOW
It's important for people to know about blood sugar and their pancreas. It's hard to get away from high glycemic foods and if people aren't educated you just wind up with diabetes and don't even know why.
@Cali chika the vegetables and greens you eat on Keto contain plenty of carbs. So do the low sugar fruits and nuts. Also, keto never said ZERO carbs. There’s is some carbs in keto diet as well. Keto says don’t eat refined carbs, starches and sugar. Carnivore and vegan are the one that are not sustainable. Keto is much easier and a happy middle ground. I have been on it since 2018. Fasting the ultimate magical solution.
@@ClassicCarCustodians Vegan not sustainable LOL how can you even make that claim when veganism has been around for centuries and KETO has been in the mainstream for about 5 mins. 🤡
SexyJane28, It points out that that if you want to lose weight and then maintain that loss, you have to either lower the calorific intake and/or raise the level of activity. The video quite clearly states that if you lost 10% of your body weight you would have to cut around the same percentage out of you daily calorific intake. To hold a consistent weight loss you would have to exercise a certain level of self-control in order to challenge the body's instinct to return to a 'natural' state.
Yes, the overall success rate is not great. Perhaps comparable to the number of alcoholics or heroin addicts that go clean. All I'm saying is that in individual cases of people that are very motivated it is possible and can be done. As for a systemic solution, I believe that the most important thing we could do is to modify the food environment and make it easier to people to eat healthy and work out. It's not just personal now, the society is responsible.
it's f***king simple, KEEP WHAT YOUR DOING (diet and exercise) and quit complaining, yoyo dieting is a result of stopping the diet once you reached the desired weight, and btw life style change is more important than all these "treatment"s we need to live a healthy life style it may be hard but it's the only way
you can fix metabolism... i was 231lbs and went down all the way to 169 and even touched 165.. it was quiete easy to stay below 170 untill i started gaining muscle, i was vegan at thats moment eating meat makes me gain weight very fast, specially muscle mass
Whole food plant based is where it is at. People are allowing big business, industry, and politics decide their diets for 100 years. Whole Food Like mother nature planned. The West has basically done everything they could to modify every single food we eat from fruits and veggies, to meats, dairy, sugar, and more.
I managed to gain a lot of weight as a WFPB cyclist, but it was of course the extras... Pre- diabetes was the kick I needed. I carried it a bit too well. Bonkers as I don't recall ever feeling genuine hunger even on a 500- plus caloric déficit. And I have no great emotional attachment to food... But life events saw me comfort eating. Had a couple of setbacks due to life events, but I seem to be almost there now using all that I learned. Slow but sure seems to be working for me now. 200kcal deficit when 80 would get me there but far too slowly. I will be interested to see what weight my body wants me to be. If I maintain this deficit I would eventually get TOO thin. Currently BMI under 25, aiming for 24 in 6 months, would like to be 23, eating for 20 with apparent ease. My diet is dominated by using tahini ( sesame oil) in what has become some sort of Mediterranean diet - though I always aspired to Okinawan
@@northerncoloradotransparen1454 this diet is satiating and I enjoy it. I 'm slowly but steadily losing weight and apart from several key micronutrients, I"m getting 54g of protein. Tahini is basically sesame seeds I eat a huge amount of non-starchy veggies, mushrooms and beans. The Mediterranean diet is widely regarded as one of the best.
I'm guessing the body trying to maintain a set point may play a bigger role if someone loses hundreds of pounds. Also, I wonder if the speed of weight loss make a difference, i.e. the person goes on a crash diet and loses a crap ton of weight and affects their metabolism more? I lost 52 pounds, and I didn't feel super hungry or anything like that at that time. I did stop eating right and exercisingas much, so I gained a little back, but it wasn't because I felt more hungry, it was because I went throughan emotional time and stopped focusing on that aspect. Over the last year or so I lost the weight I gained and have maintained it with no increase in appetite. I am gentle with my goals, so I lose maybe a pound or less a week, so my calorie deficit is pretty small. I also don't gain weight fast and I can eat a lot for little gain compared to others I know. For example, over Christmas I ate way too much junk for 10 days (we were in lockdown, an I couldn't go anywhere and I ate because of boredom) and I gained 2 pounds where someone else would probably gain 5. I came back after Christmas and dropped that excess 2 pounds and then some pretty quickly. Again, with no increase in appetite...I actually eat less sometimes than my calories say I can because I just don't feel hungry. I exercise a lot, mostly walking and yoga, so maybe exercise also plays a big role?
Continued: why does the mechanism of the body recognizing its current weight as "normal" (which leads to the body defending it) function in only one direction? When you are slim, its easier to put on weight (and the body quickly recognizes the new bigger weight as "normal"), but it doesn't work in the reverse direction? Is it because once new fat cells are created, they stay forever and can only reduce their size when on reduced caloric intake?
Is there someone out there who lost some weight and experienced increased craving for food that could not be satisfied unless he/she got back to previous weight? I'm very interested to know of what they said in this documentary resonated with someone.
if you get heavier you spend 12 to 20 kalories more per kg of bodyweight, same if you lise weight, your body has less tissue to maintain... like a big car vs small car, a small car needs less fuel because its lighter. the metabolism slows down much less than people think.
@@steverothmans5908 Lol. What? People's metabolisms don't slow down when they lose weight. They DO need less calories to maintain their new weight, but lighter people also move around much, much more than the obese, which burns calories. Obese people have overeating habits and no exercise history. They sit around a lot. Their metabolism isn't "slowing down", they're going back to their favorite junk foods and gained the weight back. Doctors can't help a person lose significant amounts of weight. That takes a substance abuse counselor. No different than quitting drugs or alcohol
while this is discouraging in a way knowing that your cravings will continue forever, you will adapt in a different way.your mood will not have the same response to these cravings and thats what i think is more important. so you will feel hungry but you won't feel the same degree of (sadness irritability) that you were feeling before
7:30, that is out dated, but I am watching this in 2017... The body slowly maintain its need for hunger, the same way a smoker's need for cigs die out when they quit for a long time.
You are right. I gave up smoking 30 years ago, there is no way I'll ever smoke again. I've lost about 70 pounds in the last year and I already know that I'll never regain that weight.
I get once weight is lost your muscles are more efficient. But wouldn't adding muscle mass require higher calorie intake? Are they just assuming when weight is lost the individual doesn't exercise and get stronger?
No, it doesn't mean a higher calorie intake Your body doesn't use calories to grow muscle, it uses protein A high protein diet is what you need, not high calorie. You can build muscle in a deficit. Once a person gets to their target weight, they should be aiming for stasis- burning as many calories as they consume. No deficit or surplus.
@@fullTimeVeganinOhio Not at all. If someone loses 70 pounds of fat, and gains 20 pounds of muscle, their caloric needs will still be lower, not higher
Yes, science is gray and the obesity problem taken on a large scale is complex. And yet, give me an overweight person to move in with me and I can get them to lose weight by a modification of their diet and exercise regime. For an individual, it will be in fact quite simple. The reasons why they got obese might be complex (family, society, depression, etc) but the solution is there for each one of us. There's hope for each one of us.
The science isn't gray at all. If you eat enough calories to support a 300 pound person, that's what you turn into. If a 300 pound person started eating half their intake permanently, they will shrink by half This is food addiction. Addicts lie about how much they use. It's not complicated. Bad alcoholics will hide bottles around the place, and food addicts do that with snacks This is an addiction issue. Highly processed food is like heroin. They need substance abuse treatment
This explains why I turn into a rabid bear when I go on a calorie deficit diet. Your body has a set weight it wants to keep, and for some of us Ghrelin (sounds a lot like gremlin) the hunger hormone that drives hunger cravings and ques is much stronger in others. Even when I’m full I’m still hungry, if on a diet or not. Is this social or biological? That’s the million dollar question. I was overweight as a child, but only a few pounds. As an adult, my weight climbed into the obese category, but only for about 4 years and I lost the weight, and kept it off. My mother is very morbidly obese, most of the people in my family are overweight. This also explains why some people think I’m obsessed about my nutrition, but it’s not obsession it’s accountability. I’ve also lost 50 pounds and kept it off for over 10 years because I track, weigh, measure, journal my food and weigh myself weekly and sometimes daily to keep me accountable / to prevent the weight from coming back. I’ve noticed when I don’t weight, track, measure, and journal my weight goes back up at about a pound a week. I’ve tried intuitive eating with a whole foods plant based high raw diet and still the weight comes back.
The body has a mind of its own regarding weight independent of what you are doing. Obesity is NOT about "willpower" it is about WIRING. This is what the very best science to date shows us from the some of the world's best obesity researchers- Dr. Jeffrey Friedman, Dr. Michael Rosenbaum, Dr. Rudolph Liebel.
Anyone that I've seen that has managed to lose weight and keep it off has involved a form of resistance training. Not as much resistance training as an athlete or a bodybuilder, as little as 2-3 sessions a week to build muscle to increase metabolic rate (the amount of calories your body uses in a day to sustain itself). Also increased muscle mass will help increase insulin sensitivity which leads to the body being able to process glucose significantly better meaning less kept as fat stores.
Who didn't know that a 800 calorie / day diet with cardio would slow your metabolism? Duh!! Come on scientists...this is so dumb. I eat 1800 calories a day, but I lift weights at least 2 times per week and do interval cardio at least 2 times per week. hr 3 times / week and lost 40 lbs over a 3 month period and continue to lose and maintain just fine. That includes living a normal social life and eating out / drinking every now and then. It matters how you lose weight when you do a study like this. Mindfull eating is important too and not being too restrictive. You constantly tell yourself what you can't eat, then you are bound to binge on it at some point. Enjoy 1 piece of pizza guilt free when you want it and be done with it. Love it, don't feel guilty, and do what feels good.
Obesity is extremnely complex. They do not respond to what normal people respond to the failure of gastric bypass surgery alone should point this out. Fat cell dysregulation is not well understood.
Furthermore, your interval training is too frequent and probably lead to the burn out of the central nervous system.Cut back. Especially if you are doing weights that often. I speak directly toi Olympic level sprint athletes- including the Master's Olympics..
***** In SCIENCE, we MAKE our views and beliefs CONFORM to the evidence of reality- the evidence of repeated A1A experiments.... YOU have a deep and baseless BELIEF SYSTEM about obesity ...YOU FORCE the evidence of reality to conform to your BELIEFS. YOU are reasoning from belief. This is a NO-NO in science. Science makes us UNCOMFORTABLE sometimes. It forces us to CONFRONT what we erroneously believe..... That is the GIFT of science. Make your beliefs CONFORM to the evidence of reality no matter how uncomfortable... or painful .....or how much it goes against your ingrained erroneous beliefs that have been shown to be WRONG....
You have a BELIEF SYSTEM. You are rejecting science. You will see. Regain is in your future. The odds are against you tremendously. Regain is due to BIOLOGY, NOT willpower. YOU cannot control the INVOLUNTARY responses your body will be invoking soon. COME BACK IN 10 YEARS or better yet 20.....
Razwell YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, you are NOT intelligent either, you're so stupid in fact, you really believe that regain is due to biology, and not willpower? REGAIN IS NOT DUE TO BIOLOGY OR WILLPOWER. Our brains see 'fatty' foods as being good positive things which make us happy, being obese makes most people depressed, then they eat which makes them happy, but then makes them more depressed, do you not see the easy solution to regain? YOU NEED TO FIND SOMETHING YOU ENJOY EVEN MORE, AND YOU NEED TO DO THAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, this tricks the brain into not even noticing food anymore. The battle of weight loss/regulation is the fact the brain enjoys these foods, it makes us happy! So therefore we need to find other ways of being happy, duhhh, it doesn't take a genius.
You’re losing protein instead of fat only that’s why you’re losing weight and then putting it back on plus more , change your mindset and start using weight training to lose fat and eat more proteins
This makes me wonder about the advice of not losing weight too quickly--part of that rational is that the body needs time to adjust or else it fights to put the weight back on. If the body will always fight to put weight back on, is the advice to "lose weight slowly" outdated? Are there other reasons not to lose, say 3-5 pounds a week instead of 1-2?
You don’t lose weight in the gym. You lose it at the dinner table. Exercise is a component, but what you put or don’t put in your mouth is more important.
I so disagree with this assumption. I was always on the chubby side and decided in my late 30s to lose the weight. I studied nutrition a little and made a decision. Lost about a total of 60 pounds. Changed my wardrobe from a size 16-18 to a size 6-8. I am now in my late 50s and still wear that same size 6-8. I just made a decision not to eat junk and make my own food. I do not own a scale and never think or thought about dieting again. I just eat. It is not difficult. I do not even exercise, because I do not like it. This is bull crap. set your mind to losing, prepare food from scratch, and your proper appetite will develop. This type of "pseudo science" only gives people a bogus reason why they are having difficulties losing weight.
First off, yes some of people's weight challenge is genetics. It is indeed harder for some people to maintain a healthy weight or lose weight. However, the level of obesity we are seeing these days is a result of little to no exercise and fast food. In prior generations a lot of work was physical, thus exercise. Today most people are sitting all day at work. In prior generations meals were home cooked and were overall pretty healthy. Today we stop at McDonalds and grab the quick and easy junk they have to offer.
No, it isn't. That's like claiming drug addiction is inherited. It's not. Ending up heavy like your family isn't genetics, it's learning eating behaviors. Food addiction has to be treated as such, with a substance abuse counselor. Most overweight people are binge eaters, and their favorite foods are processed. It's as addictive as heroin. It's not genetics. If we all were stuck in a cage with no food, we'd all get smaller at the same rate. There's no gene that keeps people from starving to death
This study is so flawed. Eating only 800 calories a day, and then studying that as a weight reduced individual? No, that person is not weight reduced by normal means, but by a starvation diet means! I am betting the metabolic results would differ than that of the individual who lost weight gradually but ate more calories (of whole unprocessed food).
@@dannelson8556 Also speaking from experience it doesn't make any difference. You still get the effects of extreme hunger, thinking about food all the time, feeling like shit etc. If you lose the weight slowly.
I dont know why people think its bad that people are more calorie efficient after weight loss if you eat less you create a smaller carbon footprint and I guess you save money and time too its a good thing.
If I am understanding correctly, the film makes it sound as if having an efficient metabolism is a bad thing, as if the ability to eat calorically dense, nutritionally void processed crap is the ultimate goal. How about people shun the fat, salt and sugar found in hyper palatable garbage in favor of a whole foods plant based diet that provides abundant energy, repairs your body at the cellular level, avoids the excess storage of fat and prevents chronic disease? It’s satiating on top of that. So who cares whether I’m eating the same number of calories as random individual of the same weight?
you'd be shocked how much you can eat daily and NOT gain weight. You just have to eat the right things. Load up on fruits and veggies and you can eat to your hearts content.
I'd like to know how exactly they claimed to keep menstruating women's weight "exactly stable" in that study. Water retention changes over the course of their cycle alone would make that impossible I would think.
I'm happy--sort of--to have what I have affirmed confirmed. For over 50 years, in fact since puberty when I gained 10 pounds in 4 weeks on a sedentary cross-country car trip, I haven't been able to eat as much as ordinary people. If you gain weight just ONCE and then lose it, you will find your set point is the highest weight you have achieved. You can fight your weight back down and manage it, but one bad time--illness, injury, a bad stressful patch in your life--and up it will go. I lost 40 pounds two years ago and have kept it off. By DAILY weighing, eating no more than 1000 calories a day, and making sure every mouthful is a GOOD mouthful--both good-tasting and nutrient-dense. And, of course, retirement from a toxic job (what jobs aren't nowadays?) Don't want to end up with the diseases of my father, who got away with overweight--sometimes obesity--for over 50 years and then got diabetes, blindness, dementia. THAT is motivation.
I’ve been talking to my friends who have always stayed thin to see what they do. One skips meals (1 main meal in the evening and a granola bar or two early in the day) and walks a lot. Another eats very little, no snacks at all, an apple, yogurt, and nuts for lunch, no artificial foods, baked or crockpot meals rather than fried or sautéed, and goes to the gym every day. When she goes to Spain and is eating more fried food, she gains some weight. Another eats only organic, gluten free. She won’t eat anything at restaurants or at peoples house in case it’s not organic. I am heavier because I eat a lot more that they do and exercise less. For example, very recently I ate 3 pieces of cake in one day. I don’t even like cake that much. These friends wouldn’t have touched it. If I ate like them, I would be thin too. But it’s hard to maintain such strict eating habits. Clearly there is something in my brain that makes me reach for food when it is not to my benefit. These girls don’t have that loss of willpower and they have nearly a lifetime of habits.
I heard Chef AJ say on TH-cam "In my house = in my mouth." meaning keep your home food environment "clean". This helped me a lot. Going whole foods plant based vegan with no added fat, no added sugar, and no added salt. Dr. John McDougal's free program on his website explains this way of eating.
Caloric intake/lost theory not match with reality. Some person can eat lot of energy rich food without gain weight and some gain weight when see picture of lean food, because it can affect to hormones? What are differences now and old days to see food or pictures of food?

The bodies of overweight people, acc. to the film, consider their excess weight as their "normal" weight and even after losing weight the body's chemistry reportedly tries to do anything to return to the overweight state. The question is: after what period of being overweight the body recognizes its large weight as "normal"? Every obese person used to start as a slim person. Why did their body not recognize their originally slim weight as "normal" and did not return to it after gaining fat?
How do I get in a study like this in Alabama. I am 59 and desperately want to lose weight. I weight 292 and everything I see I buy. Because I say why should I deprive myself. But my health is bad and I really need to lose weight. Somebody please tell me how. I ate ice cream while watching this. I would love to be locked away till I lost 150 lbs. Any suggestions?
don't eat any hyperprocessed foods. buy whole food ingredients (macronutrient categories don't matter, so have whatever mix of carbs, fat, protein as you want) and cook it yourself. hyperprocessed foods are metabolic toxins
Normal people cannot will themselves to be 600 pounds, let alone 1,200 pounds. Something went very, very, very wrong in people such as Manuel Uribe.The involuntary neural systems that regulate body mass went awry. Fat cell failure, fat cell dysregulation etc. There are no truly effective treatments yet. In the future, probably.
Boy, is this accurate. When I was 12 and hitting puberty, we drove to the west coast and ate all the time at Howard Johnson's. I gained ten extra pounds in a month and spent the next 20 years trying to keep them off. Then I gained FORTY and have spent 20 years trying to keep them off (I went back up once in times of job stress, then got it off when I retired). Doing ok, but the body fights constantly to go right up to that point where you were. No fixing it. I can't eat more than 1100 calories a day--and walk 5-8 miles. People, including doctors, don't believe I eat that little and will otherwise gain weight, but this proves it is a scientific fact.
I lost 20kg due to anorexia (69kg to 48kg) When I recovered I was able to maintain a 10% weight loss from my start weight (around 63kg which was a healthy BMI, I was technically 1kg overweight to start). Now I gained the weight back to my heaviest pre anorexia but it took 10 years to get there. I blame myself for not being active due to depression, eating more and eating at cafe I worked at. I then moved states, got help with my depression and started being more active. Without counting calories I went back to my post anorexia healthy weight (63-65kg). I’ve recently lost 4 more kg (now 60kg) and hoping to keep this weight off (note now do 5-7 hours exercise a week and do triathlons which is never done previously). I think my set body Point wasn’t from my heaviest point (69kg) but from my 10% under that (63-65kg). The set point theory confuses me. If someone keeps gaining weight then at what point was their set body Point. I feel like mine has always been around the 63-65kg (obviously I mean set point as an adult) not from my heaviest weight. I think my excess calories caused the heaviest weight. If I kept this weight for a certain amount of time would my set body Point shift? Because if someone constantly gains weight wouldn’t it mean that their body Point shifts with it
It's obvious you haven't tried it yet. People who are overweight tend to stay that way. The exceptional few who do lose significant weight almost always gain it back. All fat people know they will lose weight if they eat less, eat healthy, etc. There is some biological factor, however, that overcomes will power in the long run. If anyone had a realistic solution, then the success rate would not be almost zero.
+Sofia Lane the best weight loss that i've had was by following the Triple trim formula (just google it) definately the most incredible diet i've tried.
I eat a fairly standard size bowl of sugar cereal. 2 scoops of my favorite protein blend. 1 cup of reduced fat milk. three ice cream cones. 4-5 snacks to help curb my fast. and I am still losing weight. This is total bs. Eat real food = weight loss. Real food = food that you cook or prepare. Not fast food.
It burns down to the basic law of thermodynamics. Energy intake vs. Energy expenditure. So you can absolutely lose and maintain weight on an absolute garbage processed food diet. No problem. To be healthy, however, the energy needs to come from natural, unprocessed, healthy foods, because it's not only about the energy content of your food, it's about micronutrients, too. From minerals, to vitamins, to polyphenols, antioxidants, polyols and so on. Also, a calorie is not a calorie. The body has multiple metabolic ways to break down different macronutrients and they're not equally efficient. 1 calorie from animal protein is not equal to a calorie from plant-protein and neither equal to a calorie from fatty acids. All this needs to be taken into account as well.
This is depressing. Could have been presented with a less defeatist mentality. Now i have to watch something motivating to get my head back on. Thanks...
Nice advertisement, nice music, very exciting...where's the documentary ?...I mean, with all the dramatic music covering people's voices, this is a trailer, isn't it ?...at 01:20, the frivolous music stops, halle-bloody-lujah !!!...the lady says "Oh, mercy !" and what do you do ? You play music over her voice...is this how you speak to people, you play music at the same time ? Next thing, you'll have loud music in school classes while the teacher teaches...why not at your doctor's ?!? Have images and words lost their weight, resorting to music being the only way to convey a dramatic message ? Does the expression 'incidental music' ring a bell to you ?...incidental is not permanent !-(
'Calories in' and 'calories out' are never the same. 100kcal of softdrink is not the same as 100kcal of vegetables. The softdrink will raise insulin levels and promote fat storage. Vegetables provide fiber which will slow down the insulin spike. Never eat or drink anything where the fiber has been taken out. And cut the refined carbs.
If I've been at a lower weight for the majority of my life (by far!) does that mean that I will still struggle more to retain that weight when/if I return to it because I've been 15 pounds heavier for one year? Or is my weight now a new set-point that I will constantly be pushed back up to? because that is a horridly depressing thought.
Corinne Proctor yeah i wondered the same because im in a similar situation. is your metabolism also screwed up after you lost weight that you gained one or two years prior to your diet ?
I will point also that what I have written is almost a complete copy and dump from the video, as spoken by YOUR beloved experts, calling me a fool and tool and ranting, raving and swearing all over the comments section doesn't help you come across as either smart or balanced.
I was overweight for most of my life, matter of fact I’m still overweight weighing 165 at 5'6. But I started this life change 7 months ago at 190 pounds and even though I have plateaued the last two months (I don’t count calories) here are my advices to you 1) eat when you’re hungry, don’t tryna cheat the body out of a meal it will always get back at you (gbg) 2) stay away from sugar cuz it’s very bad. My body can deal with all the junk food in the world but pure sugar mess me up (like a bottle of Coke) 3) don’t give up. motivate yourself with stuff… my biggest motivation right now is seein my jawline without fat on it around it or under it. 4) sport is always great but start easy 5) Pray about it! Good luck my people with Gods help you got this! 🤲🏼
Does anyone else think its wrong that they had her lose all this weight, on a liquid diet then sent her out into the world like...'welp, its gonna be hard to keep it off....stop by if you want". Like you taught her nothing about sustainability. She might gain back more weight. Is that ethical research practice?
It's just a simple matter of WILL POWER, don't eat! When you get out of the shower give yourself a good look and you can see the difference even if you have put on a single kilo (2.5lbs to USA). Don't be a large fatty because of your own piss arsed weakness. Mirror shows you have put some weight on, then don't eat for the next day or so. It won't hurt you. I have been 70-72 kilos for over 40 years & now at 77yrs I'm still 70kilos. For you in USA that's 155 to 158lbs. Don't dig your grave with your own teeth!
I'm positive it's all about exercise I eat 6000 calories a day I'm talking about JUNK FOOD too like Wendy's taco Bell chips all that yummy shit I just do 2 hours of cardio and 30 mins of weights everyday at the same time
How could she lose only 40 pounds in 9 months on a starvation diet? Her daily calorie turnover should be around 1800-2000, if she did very little sports in the clinic. But she ate only 800 calories for about 274 days. Means she should have lost around 85-106 pounds, as one pound consists of 3175 calories (1kg=7000cal). So basically her yo-yo dieting and this crappy study ruined her metabolism and she is going to gain weight, as soon as her daily intake exceeds ~1250 calories. And it will. Congratulations! Dr. Rosenbaum, the problem is not "that she leaves a very controlled environment", the problem is that her metabolism has been forcefully slowed down for nine whole months! And you should know that!
Modgudur yet another moron who seems to lack any reading comprehension skills. If your inability to comprehend what you read and see is so poor that you completely miss out on the most important aspects of the study then maybe you should refrain from commenting on the study. The 800 calorie a day diet was only maintained during the weight-loss phase in which she lost two to two and a half pounds per week. The patients was then moved to a stabilization phase Where researchers measure the amount of calories and exercise needed to maintain their new reduced body weight. This stabilization phase was the key to understanding long-term weight loss stability. This study has reaffirmed conclusions from previous studies. An individual in a weight reduced state will never regain the same basal metabolic rate or otherwise as a person at the same weight in a non weight reduced state. In other words an obese person who loses weight will need to maintain on average a 20% calorie deficiency for the rest of their lives in order to maintain the reduced weight. Of course calorie counting is very difficult because caloric labeling can be off by as much as 85%
I have always heard 1 pound is 3500 calories. I have had metabolic testing done, and I can’t eat 1800 - 2000 calories to maintain my weight. My metabolism is slower. Eating 1200-1300, I would only lose 1/2 pound per week max.
that girl at 1:28 would've looked gorgeous if she was slim since she has such a beautiful face. its a shame now even if she did somehow become slim shes going to have that flab all over her body -_-
I recently heard that when your guy is healthy, you will crave healthy foods and if it is unhealthy, it craves the salt & sugar...breads, pasta, etc. Honestly, I've lost weight by eating right and becoming active AND have KEPT it OFF. Want help? I can help. #weightloss #healthylifestyle #goals #tls #21daychallenge
"No hope!?" It's actually the inverse, for years I've sworn I need to be in a constant slight caloric deficit in order to keep the weight off. Knowing the results of research like this gives me strength! Thank you.
Even just learning that I'm "a metabolically more efficient organism" after losing 40-50 lbs several years ago, makes me see the whole maintenance "problem" in a new light & that's exactly how we should frame it. I GET to play more tennis, walk more miles & garden for longer w/out needing to worry as much or as quickly about falling short on energy/calories compared to others.
What they're saying is that to hold a consistent weight loss you have to understand that you can't choose to exercise and diet to loose weight then return to your original habits. You have to make a PERMANENT change to your diet after losing weight and most likely permanent change in exercise intensity too. This study shows that they are developing potential treatments to help with the internal self-control. It does not suggest that it is impossible to maintain weight loss by yourself.
Lose*
Lifestyle change is a forever change, not a quick fix or temporary solution. Therefore it needs to be realistic and maintainable, otherwise you’ve lost before you started. Make small realistic changes, do it bit by bit until you don’t even notice cutting out certain things. Make sensible swaps and changes, but don’t make it seem like a punishment and stop rewarding good behaviour because eating properly is something we should be doing regardless rewarding good eating habits with junk send your brain the wrong message.
It's possible. It's just HARD. But the rewards are worth it. Especially the older you get.
this is my own personal experience, but I used to be orthorexic. I would be obsessed with how natural and “good” my food was. I would eat tons of veggies and lean meats and healthy fats from nuts and avocados. But I was gorging and getting fat because I was in a calorie surplus. As soon as i started counting calories I knew to lower them until I started losing weight. I can eat pizza and ice cream now and just as long as I meet my calorie goal for the day I lose weight!
I just read "The end of over-eating" by David A. Kessler. In it, he talks about studies where the body's regulating mechanism is no longer there anymore once you become addicted to foods high in fat, salt, and/or sugar. The food leaves you craving for more. The only way to be satisfied is to eat whole foods without adding in fat, sugar, and salt. You will eat a normal portion if you eat this way. If you eat the typical American diet, you will keep eating and eating.
WinterGirl other than the fact that I'd like to see some of the assertions in that book backed up by scientific studies rather than unsubstantiated personal opinion and antidotal evidence
So true. It’s easy to consume a whole pizza or carton of ice cream in one sitting. But broccoli or an apple? Nobody over eating that 😂
Nope. "Good food" does NOT satisfy once you have acquired the addiction. It always tastes inferior to that blast of sugar and fat . . . don't kid yourself or others.
@@JohnDoe-et8th Not true - after reset diet - shitty food is obnoxious
I lost 50 pounds over 50 years ago and never gained it back. True story. However, it is true that you can't keep dieting for long because it ruins your metabolism.
I think the more we know why and how we are "wired" the way we are, the more we can consciously override our biology by making more healthy choices.
by keep making the good choices it will override the bad ones..
There is certainly truth in that. People who are genetically disposed to cancer will only cause those tumours if they eat what feeds them ... funnily enough. Sadly, there is an incredible amount of food in this world that causes cancer, and personally, I wish it was all banned. NO ONE deserves cancer.
And know that we HAVE to make them. Scientific data makes guesswork and self-deception obsolete. You know what you have to do, unfortunately.
I did not know what the doctors said about calorie needs going down for the weight loser. The take away message is the overweight person who loses weight must remain in diet mode in order forever to maintain that reduced weight. This is profound and important and should be taught to all dieters who probably never thought about that.
And the message needs to be heard loud and clear by every parent. DON'T LET YOUR KIDS GET OVERWEIGHT or you're setting them up for a lifetime of craving- suffering at best, premature sickness and death at worst.
Yes. It's a new set of habits forever
If you eat enough calories to support 300 pounds, you will indeed be 300 pounds
WFPB lifestyle made my excess weight just fall off (and stay off for 4.5 years, with no hunger). It's not that difficult-WHEN you break away from the manufactured foods and fast foods of the industry. Eat real food, eat whole food, and make your foods. High quality, low-caloric density foods are the answer-for the long term. You have to eat more to weigh less. Presently eating two servings of dry oatmeal with three servings of assorted fruit, and spices. It's breakfast with plenty of fiber and sweetness, but zero added sugar or oils-which are the main calorie sources of the public. WFPB eating heals folks and this show totally misses it.
cuz it's from 2012 and you're 1 year ago
yeah hight fat keto diet
@@Moesie I'm six years healthier now because I fixed my gut biome. And now I'm working on the biome of the soils under my care--it's all related. For best understanding one must look into the microorganisms that we, and every other life-form on Earth, must have to be healthy.
Tell me what does "hight (sic) fat keto diet" do for your overall health?
The doctors I regard as the wisest understand and teach us how to find true health by taking care of the microbial life that enables all life. There's simply no way to get around that fact. A few of my doctors even tried low carb dieting, some promoted it when they were younger and less wise. They no longer do either. See Anthony Lim, MD, JD, or Garth Davis, MD (bariatric surgeon) to learn more about health and why they no longer find "keto" to be of any benefit for them or their patients or the public at large.
Basically what they are saying is don't get fat to begin with or you will have a life time of weight struggles. EEEK!
that's why childhood obesity is "dangerous"

Yes the video resonated with me.I lost the weight four years ago, still haven't put it back on but the cravings!?Best way to sum it up is I have an ever present awareness of food. It isn't like I'm starving, I'm hungry though I want to say it's not quite that either. It's more like I'm obsessional about food in a way I never was before. I practice a LOT of mindful eating and structured eating to keep the weight off. Feel free to message me, hard to express a complex thought when there's a cha...
How's the weight loss going?
Hope you're doing well!
How are you doing these days
The Leptin thing is interesting, however, why try and fool the brain into thinking you're fatter than you are, rather we should be trying to figure out how to reset the brain's body weight "set point" so perhaps even before the weight loss your brain is keen to lose the weight in the first place.
I mean if the brain can effect metabolic triggers to cause us to regain weight after loss, so too if the brain thinks you're overweight it will produce metabolic triggers to lose the weight. Instead of increase in appetite and reduction in metabolism, the brain will increase metabolism and decrease our appetite.
So what's the mechanism in the brain that sets our body weight at X lbs? I'm keen on the idea of getting to the root of the problem rather than solving for the effect of being over weight, solve for the cause and yes, reduced calorie consumption and behavior modification is a key to that, but not having your own brain work against you and in fact maybe getting it to work with you in weight loss is best.
I think it has to do with leptin being very key to your body letting go of its fat stores. Which is why most low carb diets tell you to have some carbs every week to keep your leptin sensitivity up.
That's likely true too. I always thought of the "cheat day" on low carb as a chance to "reset our metabolism" T3/T4 specifically, but it can be a combination of many factors, but it does help to keep the weight loss moving.
Christopher Snow I believe part of the solution to the puzzle lies in reducing inflammation of the hypothalamus gland. I have been able to help my patients do this with nutritional supplements which have been available to health care practitioners for over 50 years.
well 6 years later reality has shown that these two docs did not know what side is up. They really talk some nonsense and did not understand the methabolic pathways of the hormones they are talking about
There's no such thing as a set point
It's your habits. Smokers don't have a "set point" that keeps bringing them back to cigarettes, it's the nicotine addiction
This is an addiction. Treat it as such. These people need to be in a 12 step program, not at a doctor's office
I have the solution which is to go on a whole-food, plant-based diet. Your body will be so well nourished by eating healthy that after about a month, you will start naturally losing weight with minimal calorie restriction, and your leptin levels will rise in response to the body getting the nutrients it needs. People on the whole foods plant-based diet maintain their weight loss for life. Good luck and God bless.
Vegetables is the way to go. If you can learn how to make vegetables taste delicious, you've cracked the code. I spent a month eating Vegan and I loaded up on so many vegetables that I literally didn't feel hungry for hours, sometimes I didn't crave food for 8+ hours (whilst awake). Trouble is, it takes more prep.
I am 71 years old . On my current diet I have lost 40 pounds in the last 6 months . 9 years ago I lost 100 pounds in less than a year . 20 years ago I lost 80 pounds in less than a year . And on and on . I have been on diets since I was 11 years old . I am a retired Carpenter , I was raised on an 83 acre farm . I have worked hard all my life . Hard physical work . I have 3 sets of clothes for different weights . I am very active and at this point have been consuming about 1500 calories a day for 6 months . Right now my glucose levels are great , my blood pressure is great , I have energy and feel very healthy . I have studied nutrition , I don't believe in fad diets . I eat a LOT of vegetables , and chicken breast . I eat 3 small meals a day , no potatoes , bread , rice , corn , pasta , sweets or sweet drinks . I believe I am healthy and active ( walk 3 miles a day ). I am just tired of thinking about weight loss and food constantly . I would prefer enjoying my senior years without the stress . I feel so sorry for all the people who fight obesity every day of their lives !!! It is easier to quit drugs than food .
Hope you're doing well!
The reason for this problem is the very fundamental error of assuming glucose is our main fuel. You have to become a fat burner. We are meant to use fat as our primary fuel for energy, not glucose. High insulin levels from eating too much sugar and starches blocks all fat burning. Plenty of info on this on youtube.
Only low functioning people post links and advice for market products to the people who come here for help.
Marketing is the first problem in obesity and where it all started...
I also lost weight and the only reason I gained it was because I was eating the same crap that got me there the first time. As soon as I stop eating that crap I lose weight without even trying. I don't know how accurate this is, but it seems like they are saying we have a fat set point and if u get fat ur body will refuse to allow u to reduce the weight regardless if it's healthy or not.
I so agree with you.. This entire presumption of a "fat point" is pseudo science. It's about WHAT you put in your mouth. learn to cook and make all your food from scratch. STOP eating junk. Learn about nutrition, eat a good variety of foods. lots of vegetables, some meat/chicken/fish, no vegetable oils (hint hint, they are processed poison), butter, kefir, hard cheese (just a little), NO SUGAR, NOT FAST FOOD, NO SODA, NO MILK, just water, herb tea, coffee (without milk, without sugar), legumes, little rice or pasta...............and you WILL BE FINE
I did watch the video, in fact I watched the full thing via the related videos section. Did you? Because if you did you might want to re-watch it because you missed the incessant points being made about the fact that yes, weight is significantly controlled by biological processes, however it is possible to still lose and maintain weight loss through permanent consistent dietary change and regular consistent exercise. THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS 'DIETING'. the dieting they are referring to is yo-yo.
Take one month and dial your carb intake to less than 20g per day. You may be shocked to realize that fat retention is directly related to insulin, which carbs elevate. No exercise needed. I wouldn't skip exercise though. It's good for other stuff
If that works for you, go with it, but the Mediterranean diet works for me, and if I crank up my exercise at some point I will fuel it with lovely whole grains.
Personally I' m feeling some trepidation with my healthy fat calories so near 50 percent. My lipid tests in 5 months' time when I should be another BMI point lighter will be interesting.
They were perfect last time.
There is no need to demonise macronutrients - apart from saturated and trans-fats.
How do you live without BEANS???
None of this takes into consideration the most potent influence of all...the mind. Once you get your head around it, and keep it there, you've cracked it. It's different for each one of us. What motivates us is very powerful!
people like being victims and dont like to hear the truth unfortunately, they will blame everything from hormones, genetics, gmos, pesticides, chemtrails, everything under the sun just to avoid accepting responsibility and change.
theres a great saying "if you want things to change, YOU have to change"
The carbohydrate insulin model of obesity is correct. Turn this video off no, learn about the carb-insulin model and put it into practice. You won't go hungry, you'll eat good food, you'll feel amazing, and you'll get thin and stay thin. Change your life RIGHT NOW
It's important for people to know about blood sugar and their pancreas.
It's hard to get away from high glycemic foods and if people aren't educated you just wind up with diabetes and don't even know why.
This was all before fasting became the life saving method we know today. Fasting and keto is the ultimate long-term solution. Works like magic.
@Cali chika the vegetables and greens you eat on Keto contain plenty of carbs. So do the low sugar fruits and nuts. Also, keto never said ZERO carbs. There’s is some carbs in keto diet as well. Keto says don’t eat refined carbs, starches and sugar. Carnivore and vegan are the one that are not sustainable. Keto is much easier and a happy middle ground. I have been on it since 2018. Fasting the ultimate magical solution.
@@ClassicCarCustodians Vegan not sustainable LOL how can you even make that claim when veganism has been around for centuries and KETO has been in the mainstream for about 5 mins. 🤡
I WANT SOME LEPTIN!!!!
That was one of the first things they tried when Leptin was discovered but people become resistant to leptin's effects as obesity progresses.
These documentaries are so insightful
SexyJane28, It points out that that if you want to lose weight and then maintain that loss, you have to either lower the calorific intake and/or raise the level of activity. The video quite clearly states that if you lost 10% of your body weight you would have to cut around the same percentage out of you daily calorific intake. To hold a consistent weight loss you would have to exercise a certain level of self-control in order to challenge the body's instinct to return to a 'natural' state.
Yes, the overall success rate is not great. Perhaps comparable to the number of alcoholics or heroin addicts that go clean. All I'm saying is that in individual cases of people that are very motivated it is possible and can be done. As for a systemic solution, I believe that the most important thing we could do is to modify the food environment and make it easier to people to eat healthy and work out. It's not just personal now, the society is responsible.
Whoa this is all so interesting. Learned a lot from this. Thanks
I was about to leave just before the video started then i saw this comment
it's f***king simple, KEEP WHAT YOUR DOING (diet and exercise) and quit complaining, yoyo dieting is a result of stopping the diet once you reached the desired weight, and btw life style change is more important than all these "treatment"s we need to live a healthy life style it may be hard but it's the only way
you can fix metabolism... i was 231lbs and went down all the way to 169 and even touched 165.. it was quiete easy to stay below 170 untill i started gaining muscle, i was vegan at thats moment eating meat makes me gain weight very fast, specially muscle mass
Whole food plant based is where it is at. People are allowing big business, industry, and politics decide their diets for 100 years. Whole Food Like mother nature planned. The West has basically done everything they could to modify every single food we eat from fruits and veggies, to meats, dairy, sugar, and more.
I managed to gain a lot of weight as a WFPB cyclist, but it was of course the extras... Pre- diabetes was the kick I needed.
I carried it a bit too well.
Bonkers as I don't recall ever feeling genuine hunger even on a 500- plus caloric déficit.
And I have no great emotional attachment to food... But life events saw me comfort eating.
Had a couple of setbacks due to life events, but I seem to be almost there now using all that I learned.
Slow but sure seems to be working for me now.
200kcal deficit when 80 would get me there but far too slowly.
I will be interested to see what weight my body wants me to be.
If I maintain this deficit I would eventually get TOO thin. Currently BMI under 25, aiming for 24 in 6 months, would like to be 23, eating for 20 with apparent ease.
My diet is dominated by using tahini ( sesame oil) in what has become some sort of Mediterranean diet - though I always aspired to Okinawan
@@yangtse55 cut out the oils it will help a lot of calories for basically no nutrition. Good luck
@@northerncoloradotransparen1454 this diet is satiating and I enjoy it.
I 'm slowly but steadily losing weight and apart from several key micronutrients, I"m getting 54g of protein.
Tahini is basically sesame seeds
I eat a huge amount of non-starchy veggies, mushrooms and beans.
The Mediterranean diet is widely regarded as one of the best.
I'm guessing the body trying to maintain a set point may play a bigger role if someone loses hundreds of pounds. Also, I wonder if the speed of weight loss make a difference, i.e. the person goes on a crash diet and loses a crap ton of weight and affects their metabolism more?
I lost 52 pounds, and I didn't feel super hungry or anything like that at that time. I did stop eating right and exercisingas much, so I gained a little back, but it wasn't because I felt more hungry, it was because I went throughan emotional time and stopped focusing on that aspect. Over the last year or so I lost the weight I gained and have maintained it with no increase in appetite. I am gentle with my goals, so I lose maybe a pound or less a week, so my calorie deficit is pretty small. I also don't gain weight fast and I can eat a lot for little gain compared to others I know. For example, over Christmas I ate way too much junk for 10 days (we were in lockdown, an I couldn't go anywhere and I ate because of boredom) and I gained 2 pounds where someone else would probably gain 5. I came back after Christmas and dropped that excess 2 pounds and then some pretty quickly. Again, with no increase in appetite...I actually eat less sometimes than my calories say I can because I just don't feel hungry.
I exercise a lot, mostly walking and yoga, so maybe exercise also plays a big role?
Continued: why does the mechanism of the body recognizing its current weight as "normal" (which leads to the body defending it) function in only one direction? When you are slim, its easier to put on weight (and the body quickly recognizes the new bigger weight as "normal"), but it doesn't work in the reverse direction? Is it because once new fat cells are created, they stay forever and can only reduce their size when on reduced caloric intake?
It doesn't. Junk science
Is there someone out there who lost some weight and experienced increased craving for food that could not be satisfied unless he/she got back to previous weight? I'm very interested to know of what they said in this documentary resonated with someone.
Anyone here ever quit smoking cigarettes and still craved them?
Same thing
I doubt it was food in general. It was specific high calorie foods
Your metabolism will be slowed down after weight loss, the only way to fix it is to put on some muscle
if you get heavier you spend 12 to 20 kalories more per kg of bodyweight, same if you lise weight, your body has less tissue to maintain... like a big car vs small car, a small car needs less fuel because its lighter. the metabolism slows down much less than people think.
@@steverothmans5908
Lol. What?
People's metabolisms don't slow down when they lose weight. They DO need less calories to maintain their new weight, but lighter people also move around much, much more than the obese, which burns calories.
Obese people have overeating habits and no exercise history. They sit around a lot. Their metabolism isn't "slowing down", they're going back to their favorite junk foods and gained the weight back.
Doctors can't help a person lose significant amounts of weight. That takes a substance abuse counselor.
No different than quitting drugs or alcohol
Cut down on carbs will help tremendously. Add intermittent fasting.
while this is discouraging in a way knowing that your cravings will continue forever, you will adapt in a different way.your mood will not have the same response to these cravings and thats what i think is more important. so you will feel hungry but you won't feel the same degree of (sadness irritability) that you were feeling before
ive lost a lot of weight and the cravibgs arent like before i eat a lot less and cant immagine eating as much as i did before
7:30, that is out dated, but I am watching this in 2017... The body slowly maintain its need for hunger, the same way a smoker's need for cigs die out when they quit for a long time.
You are right. I gave up smoking 30 years ago, there is no way I'll ever smoke again. I've lost about 70 pounds in the last year and I already know that I'll never regain that weight.
I get once weight is lost your muscles are more efficient. But wouldn't adding muscle mass require higher calorie intake? Are they just assuming when weight is lost the individual doesn't exercise and get stronger?
No, it doesn't mean a higher calorie intake
Your body doesn't use calories to grow muscle, it uses protein
A high protein diet is what you need, not high calorie. You can build muscle in a deficit.
Once a person gets to their target weight, they should be aiming for stasis- burning as many calories as they consume. No deficit or surplus.
@@theimmortal4718 I think you're being a little pedantic
@@fullTimeVeganinOhio
Not at all. If someone loses 70 pounds of fat, and gains 20 pounds of muscle, their caloric needs will still be lower, not higher
Very interesting. Will have to try some of the stuff
Yes, science is gray and the obesity problem taken on a large scale is complex. And yet, give me an overweight person to move in with me and I can get them to lose weight by a modification of their diet and exercise regime. For an individual, it will be in fact quite simple. The reasons why they got obese might be complex (family, society, depression, etc) but the solution is there for each one of us. There's hope for each one of us.
The science isn't gray at all. If you eat enough calories to support a 300 pound person, that's what you turn into.
If a 300 pound person started eating half their intake permanently, they will shrink by half
This is food addiction. Addicts lie about how much they use. It's not complicated. Bad alcoholics will hide bottles around the place, and food addicts do that with snacks
This is an addiction issue. Highly processed food is like heroin. They need substance abuse treatment
This explains why I turn into a rabid bear when I go on a calorie deficit diet. Your body has a set weight it wants to keep, and for some of us Ghrelin (sounds a lot like gremlin) the hunger hormone that drives hunger cravings and ques is much stronger in others. Even when I’m full I’m still hungry, if on a diet or not. Is this social or biological? That’s the million dollar question. I was overweight as a child, but only a few pounds. As an adult, my weight climbed into the obese category, but only for about 4 years and I lost the weight, and kept it off. My mother is very morbidly obese, most of the people in my family are overweight.
This also explains why some people think I’m obsessed about my nutrition, but it’s not obsession it’s accountability. I’ve also lost 50 pounds and kept it off for over 10 years because I track, weigh, measure, journal my food and weigh myself weekly and sometimes daily to keep me accountable / to prevent the weight from coming back.
I’ve noticed when I don’t weight, track, measure, and journal my weight goes back up at about a pound a week. I’ve tried intuitive eating with a whole foods plant based high raw diet and still the weight comes back.
The body has a mind of its own regarding weight independent of what you are doing. Obesity is NOT about "willpower" it is about WIRING.
This is what the very best science to date shows us from the some of the world's best obesity researchers- Dr. Jeffrey Friedman, Dr. Michael Rosenbaum, Dr. Rudolph Liebel.
Anyone that I've seen that has managed to lose weight and keep it off has involved a form of resistance training. Not as much resistance training as an athlete or a bodybuilder, as little as 2-3 sessions a week to build muscle to increase metabolic rate (the amount of calories your body uses in a day to sustain itself). Also increased muscle mass will help increase insulin sensitivity which leads to the body being able to process glucose significantly better meaning less kept as fat stores.
excellent video
Who didn't know that a 800 calorie / day diet with cardio would slow your metabolism? Duh!! Come on scientists...this is so dumb. I eat 1800 calories a day, but I lift weights at least 2 times per week and do interval cardio at least 2 times per week. hr 3 times / week and lost 40 lbs over a 3 month period and continue to lose and maintain just fine. That includes living a normal social life and eating out / drinking every now and then. It matters how you lose weight when you do a study like this. Mindfull eating is important too and not being too restrictive. You constantly tell yourself what you can't eat, then you are bound to binge on it at some point. Enjoy 1 piece of pizza guilt free when you want it and be done with it. Love it, don't feel guilty, and do what feels good.
Obesity is extremnely complex. They do not respond to what normal people respond to the failure of gastric bypass surgery alone should point this out. Fat cell dysregulation is not well understood.
Furthermore, your interval training is too frequent and probably lead to the burn out of the central nervous system.Cut back. Especially if you are doing weights that often. I speak directly toi Olympic level sprint athletes- including the Master's Olympics..
*****
In SCIENCE, we MAKE our views and beliefs CONFORM to the evidence of reality- the evidence of repeated A1A experiments.... YOU have a deep and baseless BELIEF SYSTEM about obesity ...YOU FORCE the evidence of reality to conform to your BELIEFS. YOU are reasoning from belief. This is a NO-NO in science. Science makes us UNCOMFORTABLE sometimes. It forces us to CONFRONT what we erroneously believe..... That is the GIFT of science. Make your beliefs CONFORM to the evidence of reality no matter how uncomfortable... or painful .....or how much it goes against your ingrained erroneous beliefs that have been shown to be WRONG....
You have a BELIEF SYSTEM. You are rejecting science. You will see. Regain is in your future. The odds are against you tremendously. Regain is due to BIOLOGY, NOT willpower. YOU cannot control the INVOLUNTARY responses your body will be invoking soon. COME BACK IN 10 YEARS or better yet 20.....
Razwell YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, you are NOT intelligent either, you're so stupid in fact, you really believe that regain is due to biology, and not willpower? REGAIN IS NOT DUE TO BIOLOGY OR WILLPOWER. Our brains see 'fatty' foods as being good positive things which make us happy, being obese makes most people depressed, then they eat which makes them happy, but then makes them more depressed, do you not see the easy solution to regain? YOU NEED TO FIND SOMETHING YOU ENJOY EVEN MORE, AND YOU NEED TO DO THAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, this tricks the brain into not even noticing food anymore. The battle of weight loss/regulation is the fact the brain enjoys these foods, it makes us happy! So therefore we need to find other ways of being happy, duhhh, it doesn't take a genius.
You’re losing protein instead of fat only that’s why you’re losing weight and then putting it back on plus more , change your mindset and start using weight training to lose fat and eat more proteins
This makes me wonder about the advice of not losing weight too quickly--part of that rational is that the body needs time to adjust or else it fights to put the weight back on. If the body will always fight to put weight back on, is the advice to "lose weight slowly" outdated? Are there other reasons not to lose, say 3-5 pounds a week instead of 1-2?
Amazing! You look great!
You don’t lose weight in the gym. You lose it at the dinner table. Exercise is a component, but what you put or don’t put in your mouth is more important.
I so disagree with this assumption. I was always on the chubby side and decided in my late 30s to lose the weight. I studied nutrition a little and made a decision. Lost about a total of 60 pounds. Changed my wardrobe from a size 16-18 to a size 6-8. I am now in my late 50s and still wear that same size 6-8. I just made a decision not to eat junk and make my own food. I do not own a scale and never think or thought about dieting again. I just eat. It is not difficult. I do not even exercise, because I do not like it. This is bull crap. set your mind to losing, prepare food from scratch, and your proper appetite will develop. This type of "pseudo science" only gives people a bogus reason why they are having difficulties losing weight.
Right on!
First off, yes some of people's weight challenge is genetics. It is indeed harder for some people to maintain a healthy weight or lose weight. However, the level of obesity we are seeing these days is a result of little to no exercise and fast food. In prior generations a lot of work was physical, thus exercise. Today most people are sitting all day at work. In prior generations meals were home cooked and were overall pretty healthy. Today we stop at McDonalds and grab the quick and easy junk they have to offer.
No, it isn't.
That's like claiming drug addiction is inherited. It's not.
Ending up heavy like your family isn't genetics, it's learning eating behaviors.
Food addiction has to be treated as such, with a substance abuse counselor.
Most overweight people are binge eaters, and their favorite foods are processed. It's as addictive as heroin.
It's not genetics. If we all were stuck in a cage with no food, we'd all get smaller at the same rate.
There's no gene that keeps people from starving to death
Ive lost my 80 pounds of fat being 16 years old, you just have to workout AND eat right, just stop stuffing ur self
people hate the truth, fat people are professional victims a lot of the time
This study is so flawed. Eating only 800 calories a day, and then studying that as a weight reduced individual? No, that person is not weight reduced by normal means, but by a starvation diet means! I am betting the metabolic results would differ than that of the individual who lost weight gradually but ate more calories (of whole unprocessed food).
And your qualifications to make this assertion are what ?
@@dannelson8556 Also speaking from experience it doesn't make any difference. You still get the effects of extreme hunger, thinking about food all the time, feeling like shit etc. If you lose the weight slowly.
I dont know why people think its bad that people are more calorie efficient after weight loss if you eat less you create a smaller carbon footprint and I guess you save money and time too its a good thing.
If I am understanding correctly, the film makes it sound as if having an efficient metabolism is a bad thing, as if the ability to eat calorically dense, nutritionally void processed crap is the ultimate goal. How about people shun the fat, salt and sugar found in hyper palatable garbage in favor of a whole foods plant based diet that provides abundant energy, repairs your body at the cellular level, avoids the excess storage of fat and prevents chronic disease? It’s satiating on top of that. So who cares whether I’m eating the same number of calories as random individual of the same weight?
you'd be shocked how much you can eat daily and NOT gain weight. You just have to eat the right things. Load up on fruits and veggies and you can eat to your hearts content.
I'd like to know how exactly they claimed to keep menstruating women's weight "exactly stable" in that study. Water retention changes over the course of their cycle alone would make that impossible I would think.
If you weigh yourself often enough the water weight is easy to recognise as "noise".
is your metabolism also screwed up after you lost weight that you gained one or two years prior to your diet ?
I'm happy--sort of--to have what I have affirmed confirmed. For over 50 years, in fact since puberty when I gained 10 pounds in 4 weeks on a sedentary cross-country car trip, I haven't been able to eat as much as ordinary people. If you gain weight just ONCE and then lose it, you will find your set point is the highest weight you have achieved. You can fight your weight back down and manage it, but one bad time--illness, injury, a bad stressful patch in your life--and up it will go. I lost 40 pounds two years ago and have kept it off. By DAILY weighing, eating no more than 1000 calories a day, and making sure every mouthful is a GOOD mouthful--both good-tasting and nutrient-dense. And, of course, retirement from a toxic job (what jobs aren't nowadays?) Don't want to end up with the diseases of my father, who got away with overweight--sometimes obesity--for over 50 years and then got diabetes, blindness, dementia. THAT is motivation.
I’ve been talking to my friends who have always stayed thin to see what they do. One skips meals (1 main meal in the evening and a granola bar or two early in the day) and walks a lot. Another eats very little, no snacks at all, an apple, yogurt, and nuts for lunch, no artificial foods, baked or crockpot meals rather than fried or sautéed, and goes to the gym every day. When she goes to Spain and is eating more fried food, she gains some weight. Another eats only organic, gluten free. She won’t eat anything at restaurants or at peoples house in case it’s not organic. I am heavier because I eat a lot more that they do and exercise less. For example, very recently I ate 3 pieces of cake in one day. I don’t even like cake that much. These friends wouldn’t have touched it. If I ate like them, I would be thin too. But it’s hard to maintain such strict eating habits. Clearly there is something in my brain that makes me reach for food when it is not to my benefit. These girls don’t have that loss of willpower and they have nearly a lifetime of habits.
I heard Chef AJ say on TH-cam "In my house = in my mouth." meaning keep your home food environment "clean". This helped me a lot. Going whole foods plant based vegan with no added fat, no added sugar, and no added salt. Dr. John McDougal's free program on his website explains this way of eating.
Caloric intake/lost theory not match with reality. Some person can eat lot of energy rich food without gain weight and some gain weight when see picture of lean food, because it can affect to hormones? What are differences now and old days to see food or pictures of food?
The differences are smaller portion sizes and more physical activity in the "old days" which = calories in calories out.

Food is not the enemy we are. I gain weight but it was all my fault with exercise and portion control .and exercise are bodies will change
Glad to have watched this!!
The bodies of overweight people, acc. to the film, consider their excess weight as their "normal" weight and even after losing weight the body's chemistry reportedly tries to do anything to return to the overweight state. The question is: after what period of being overweight the body recognizes its large weight as "normal"? Every obese person used to start as a slim person. Why did their body not recognize their originally slim weight as "normal" and did not return to it after gaining fat?
How do I get in a study like this in Alabama. I am 59 and desperately want to lose weight. I weight 292 and everything I see I buy. Because I say why should I deprive myself. But my health is bad and I really need to lose weight. Somebody please tell me how. I ate ice cream while watching this. I would love to be locked away till I lost 150 lbs. Any suggestions?
don't eat any hyperprocessed foods. buy whole food ingredients (macronutrient categories don't matter, so have whatever mix of carbs, fat, protein as you want) and cook it yourself. hyperprocessed foods are metabolic toxins
Normal people cannot will themselves to be 600 pounds, let alone 1,200 pounds. Something went very, very, very wrong in people such as Manuel Uribe.The involuntary neural systems that regulate body mass went awry. Fat cell failure, fat cell dysregulation etc. There are no truly effective treatments yet. In the future, probably.
You are a complete idiot, judging by your comments
Boy, is this accurate. When I was 12 and hitting puberty, we drove to the west coast and ate all the time at Howard Johnson's. I gained ten extra pounds in a month and spent the next 20 years trying to keep them off. Then I gained FORTY and have spent 20 years trying to keep them off (I went back up once in times of job stress, then got it off when I retired). Doing ok, but the body fights constantly to go right up to that point where you were. No fixing it. I can't eat more than 1100 calories a day--and walk 5-8 miles. People, including doctors, don't believe I eat that little and will otherwise gain weight, but this proves it is a scientific fact.
I lost 20kg due to anorexia (69kg to 48kg) When I recovered I was able to maintain a 10% weight loss from my start weight (around 63kg which was a healthy BMI, I was technically 1kg overweight to start). Now I gained the weight back to my heaviest pre anorexia but it took 10 years to get there. I blame myself for not being active due to depression, eating more and eating at cafe I worked at. I then moved states, got help with my depression and started being more active. Without counting calories I went back to my post anorexia healthy weight (63-65kg). I’ve recently lost 4 more kg (now 60kg) and hoping to keep this weight off (note now do 5-7 hours exercise a week and do triathlons which is never done previously). I think my set body Point wasn’t from my heaviest point (69kg) but from my 10% under that (63-65kg). The set point theory confuses me. If someone keeps gaining weight then at what point was their set body Point. I feel like mine has always been around the 63-65kg (obviously I mean set point as an adult) not from my heaviest weight. I think my excess calories caused the heaviest weight. If I kept this weight for a certain amount of time would my set body Point shift? Because if someone constantly gains weight wouldn’t it mean that their body Point shifts with it
This is 7 years old , things aren’t any better
Nice work,

It's obvious you haven't tried it yet. People who are overweight tend to stay that way. The exceptional few who do lose significant weight almost always gain it back. All fat people know they will lose weight if they eat less, eat healthy, etc. There is some biological factor, however, that overcomes will power in the long run. If anyone had a realistic solution, then the success rate would not be almost zero.
OMG Get me some leptin, stat!! I've lost 35lbs. Scared to put it back on.
+Sofia Lane the best weight loss that i've had was by following the Triple trim formula (just google it) definately the most incredible diet i've tried.
Fuck off
I eat a fairly standard size bowl of sugar cereal. 2 scoops of my favorite protein blend. 1 cup of reduced fat milk. three ice cream cones. 4-5 snacks to help curb my fast. and I am still losing weight. This is total bs. Eat real food = weight loss. Real food = food that you cook or prepare. Not fast food.
It burns down to the basic law of thermodynamics. Energy intake vs. Energy expenditure. So you can absolutely lose and maintain weight on an absolute garbage processed food diet. No problem.
To be healthy, however, the energy needs to come from natural, unprocessed, healthy foods, because it's not only about the energy content of your food, it's about micronutrients, too. From minerals, to vitamins, to polyphenols, antioxidants, polyols and so on.
Also, a calorie is not a calorie. The body has multiple metabolic ways to break down different macronutrients and they're not equally efficient. 1 calorie from animal protein is not equal to a calorie from plant-protein and neither equal to a calorie from fatty acids.
All this needs to be taken into account as well.
Now i know why I put my weight on again.
Because you eat more than you should, and you know this very well. This is the truth.
This is depressing. Could have been presented with a less defeatist mentality. Now i have to watch something motivating to get my head back on. Thanks...
Don't worry, its basically been debunked in the last 10 years

'Calories in' and 'calories out' are never the same. 100kcal of softdrink is not the same as 100kcal of vegetables. The softdrink will raise insulin levels and promote fat storage. Vegetables provide fiber which will slow down the insulin spike. Never eat or drink anything where the fiber has been taken out. And cut the refined carbs.
If I've been at a lower weight for the majority of my life (by far!) does that mean that I will still struggle more to retain that weight when/if I return to it because I've been 15 pounds heavier for one year? Or is my weight now a new set-point that I will constantly be pushed back up to? because that is a horridly depressing thought.
Corinne Proctor yeah i wondered the same because im in a similar situation. is your metabolism also screwed up after you lost weight that you gained one or two years prior to your diet ?
I will point also that what I have written is almost a complete copy and dump from the video, as spoken by YOUR beloved experts, calling me a fool and tool and ranting, raving and swearing all over the comments section doesn't help you come across as either smart or balanced.
Yo-yo dieting is bad!
7:30.... so, I guess that means I am fuct
I was overweight for most of my life, matter of fact I’m still overweight weighing 165 at 5'6. But I started this life change 7 months ago at 190 pounds and even though I have plateaued the last two months (I don’t count calories) here are my advices to you
1) eat when you’re hungry, don’t tryna cheat the body out of a meal it will always get back at you (gbg)
2) stay away from sugar cuz it’s very bad. My body can deal with all the junk food in the world but pure sugar mess me up (like a bottle of Coke)
3) don’t give up. motivate yourself with stuff… my biggest motivation right now is seein my jawline without fat on it around it or under it.
4) sport is always great but start easy
5) Pray about it!
Good luck my people with Gods help you got this! 🤲🏼
Does anyone else think its wrong that they had her lose all this weight, on a liquid diet then sent her out into the world like...'welp, its gonna be hard to keep it off....stop by if you want". Like you taught her nothing about sustainability. She might gain back more weight. Is that ethical research practice?
It's just a simple matter of WILL POWER, don't eat! When you get out of the shower give yourself a good look and you can see the difference even if you have put on a single kilo (2.5lbs to USA). Don't be a large fatty because of your own piss arsed weakness. Mirror shows you have put some weight on, then don't eat for the next day or so. It won't hurt you. I have been 70-72 kilos for over 40 years & now at 77yrs I'm still 70kilos. For you in USA that's 155 to 158lbs. Don't dig your grave with your own teeth!
I'm positive it's all about exercise I eat 6000 calories a day I'm talking about JUNK FOOD too like Wendy's taco Bell chips all that yummy shit I just do 2 hours of cardio and 30 mins of weights everyday at the same time
How could she lose only 40 pounds in 9 months on a starvation diet? Her daily calorie turnover should be around 1800-2000, if she did very little sports in the clinic. But she ate only 800 calories for about 274 days. Means she should have lost around 85-106 pounds, as one pound consists of 3175 calories (1kg=7000cal). So basically her yo-yo dieting and this crappy study ruined her metabolism and she is going to gain weight, as soon as her daily intake exceeds ~1250 calories. And it will. Congratulations!
Dr. Rosenbaum, the problem is not "that she leaves a very controlled environment", the problem is that her metabolism has been forcefully slowed down for nine whole months! And you should know that!
From what I understand, they were put on an 800 cal a day diet for only the WEIGHT LOSS portion of the diet.
Modgudur yet another moron who seems to lack any reading comprehension skills.
If your inability to comprehend what you read and see is so poor that you completely miss out on the most important aspects of the study then maybe you should refrain from commenting on the study.
The 800 calorie a day diet was only maintained during the weight-loss phase in which she lost two to two and a half pounds per week.
The patients was then moved to a stabilization phase Where researchers measure the amount of calories and exercise needed to maintain their new reduced body weight.
This stabilization phase was the key to understanding long-term weight loss stability.
This study has reaffirmed conclusions from previous studies.
An individual in a weight reduced state will never regain the same basal metabolic rate or otherwise as a person at the same weight in a non weight reduced state.
In other words an obese person who loses weight will need to maintain on average a 20% calorie deficiency for the rest of their lives in order to maintain the reduced weight.
Of course calorie counting is very difficult because caloric labeling can be off by as much as 85%
I have always heard 1 pound is 3500 calories. I have had metabolic testing done, and I can’t eat 1800 - 2000 calories to maintain my weight. My metabolism is slower. Eating 1200-1300, I would only lose 1/2 pound per week max.
that girl at 1:28 would've looked gorgeous if she was slim since she has such a beautiful face. its a shame now even if she did somehow become slim shes going to have that flab all over her body -_-
she's gorgeous regardless of her weight
I recently heard that when your guy is healthy, you will crave healthy foods and if it is unhealthy, it craves the salt & sugar...breads, pasta, etc. Honestly, I've lost weight by eating right and becoming active AND have KEPT it OFF.

Start fasting everyday. Read about intermittent fasting. Your body needs to learn how to burn fat.
