I think the last point can still be debated. I've tried strict diets in the past and failed every time (as have many of my family members), but last year I took the more gradual approach and now I've lost over fifty pounds and I have gained a healthy lifestyle... I know that's anecdotal, but I hope that people watching this remember that the best weightloss approach is always the one that suits you best *personally*. What works for the majority of people in a study, might not work for certain individuals and I wouldn't want people to get discouraged thinking that they shouldn't even bother if they can't handle a strict diet right away.
the last point is wrong. What are they talking about? if you are obese you can lose more than 2 pounds per week, if you are just overweight it is inevitable that if you lose more than that you are losing muscle and bones. Besides, you do not measure diet results after one year but after 2-3 years, and not only in terms of lose weight but also in terms of healthy liver, healthy kidneys. Of course you need an aggressive approach if you are just obese and you do not care about preserving your strength.
Having too big of a calorie deficit can damage your metabolism and also make it more likely you will lose muscle while you are losing fat. Something like a 20% calorie deficit should be ok though, just make sure to get plenty of protein while losing fat to maintain your muscle and lifting weights while you lose fat is very helpful for this also.
Yeah, I find that the more “‘militant” the diet, the easier it is to fail/quit. With the “slow and steady” approach, it’s easier to make small changes over time, so it’s therefore easier to build habits and stick with them in the long run.

There's actually conflicting evidence on the "pros" of eating 6 meals a day. For instance, in this study they found that going from 3 meals a day to 6 meals a day actually increased hunger and cravings: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23404961 Meal frequency really comes down to what works best for you. I'm sure that schedules play just as much of a factor in personal diet success as genetics :P
Is eating only when you feel hungry good? I usually eat only because I feel like I need to but when I eat when I'm hungry I tend to lose weight. I am diabetic too (I can control my blood sugar better when I eat when I'm hungry).
The Health Nerd I wanna know maybe a topic..?like if I exercise and burn 800 calories in that time and I exercise 5 times a week so its about 4000 calories and im on a diet...can I have 2 cheat meals a week and still lose body fat...im scared it will hold me back from losing weight
Reconsider what you're eating. You might have hit a plateau because your body demands have come in line with your energy consumption. It might be as easy as changing a few things on your plate to skipping a snack or two.
I use a 4 step process to get clients over plateaus: #1. Check overall calorie intake. Diligent measuring and tracking for a week. #2. Try resistance training 3x a week (helps prevent the down-regulation of metabolism #3. If those two are in check, do a diet break. Meaning take 3 days off hard core dieting. #4. If all of that fails, it's time to check in with a doctor. Get blood work down and take a look under the hood.
If you are still drinking coffee with milk and sugar or to many smoothies can make you plateau I found as soon as I ditched sugary milky drinks the weight fell off rapidly
What about people claiming that diets such as low carb permanently damaging people's metabolic systems or for example contestants on the biggest loser gaining back what they lost and often times more because of damaged metabolic systems? I'm just curious
A lot of contestants on The Biggest Loser are forced to suffer from something called EDNOS (Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified). They gain back the weight because none of the changes they make on the ranch are reasonable for an everyday life. On the ranch, they spend all day working out and eating very little. In real life, we have jobs, families, school, and things to do. They don't teach lifestyle changes, they teach "Push until you break" which is no good. That's why one of their trainers left, she couldn't stand behind training people in such horrible ways. My mother was a fitness instructor for about ten years and says that one of the biggest mistakes that people on The Biggest Loser and people in real life make is that they don't eat nearly enough. When you exercise, you have to eat back all of those calories because your resting metabolism is much higher. At her most fit, she was eating roughly 3,000 calories a day. On The Biggest Loser, they eat tiny portions and work until they faint, meaning their bodies assume they're starving (thus causing that mentioned metabolic damage). Because they're already obese, few people realise how unhealthy it is because they're losing weight. A video on eating disorders explained it perfectly, "When you're already thin and you starve, people call you crazy. When you're fat and you starve, they praise you." As for low carb diets themselves, I can't say I know too much about them since I've never followed one strictly, but I do avoid a lot of wheat because it gives me blood sugar spikes. As for the carbs in vegetables, fruits, and grains like oats and barley, I say eat them and exercise. I don't personally advocate for diets that have you remove a specific food group or only eat one in particular (ex. The Atkins diet) but you'd have to find someone that knew more about the world of fad diets.
Well here is harsh truth and the news flash, "diet" is not a temporary thing, no matter how you loose your weight, if you go back to your old ways before the diet, weight will come back, unfortunately faster than it took time to loose it. So you gotta change your lifestyle and see food only as a fuel for your body, if you pig out and base 90% of your nutrition on "take away" food, you will eventualy turn into that "pig" Im sorry if im being harsh but this is the truth, find yourself other enjoyment that is not a piece of pizza, i know its hard but its your choice how its gonna be, dont let food control your life.
I just started watching all your videos, I really like how direct you go straight to the point. I hope there is a topic about how to get rid of late night snacks! I just started working out for the last few days but I am really having a difficulty getting rid of late night snacks. Thanks again for all the amazing topics.
I don't know, I know it's not a lot. I never really counted and that's something my nutritionist told me to start doing. for breakfast I had a packet of oatmeal and a light Greek yogurt.
Hey, four pounds in a month is still something! Consider: are you gaining muscle? Muscle weights more than fat with the same volume, that could potentially be the culprit. And make sure you're getting enough sleep and lower your stress levels, a lack of sleep or excess of stress can make you keep or gain weight.
I have seen a few of your videos about weight loss, green tea and apple cider vinegar as well as the one about nutrition labels. I have found your videos interesting and eye opening. Thank you for doing these videos backed by science as I am trying to do a summer diet and lose belly fat.
I'm so glad I found your channel this weekend, and binge watched all the videos :) You're inspiring and educating me on my weight loss journey, THANK YOU!
soo when you say that abs come out if you eat diet for it, what are these foods? can you make a video on it? pls? im 14 and i want to have my abs visible lol
Very helpful. I am struggling with PCOS and I love watching your videos. Also, I would like to see the creators of thehealthnerd. Pleeeeeaaaaaaasssssse!!!
These are the kinds of videos I love to see. Focusing on educating people on what works and what doesn't by appealing to their intelligence and making it easy to understand for those who aren't as educated. I've seen plenty of channels that only tell people to do certain things and to not do certain things with absolutely no explanation why other than it does(n't) work. Once your channel grows more, I hope we'll be able to see it evolve and delve a little deeper into the actual science. :)
Thanks Alex. I think you really understand what we are going for. At this time, I am supremely limited by the size of my channel to the certain topics I can cover and the depth I can go into. Just the nature of growing on TH-cam I guess... One day, I do hope we can go deeper into the science. Maybe be the CGP Grey of Fitness or something like that lol. One can dream :P
I did a ketogenic-type diet for 18 weeks and lost 40 pounds. 2 months later I had to have my gallbladder removed. Now I'm struggling to adjust my diet to where I'm not physically uncomfortable, taking in a healthy amount of fat, and not gain weight but I haven't found the key in 3 months (unless it's a fully raw fat free diet). Any videos?
Just bought the course - very excited. This reasonably priced! Especially compared to Noom and Weight Watchers. And I think I am going to like the Health Nerd a lot better!
Last year I lost 30 lbs quickly and hit a weight loss plateau, i stayed there for 6 months (despite constantly dieting and exercising) and finally gave up on losing weight. I then gained 50 pounds (+20 from starting weight), when I decided to try to lose weight again. This time I did it slowly, and again, at the 30lb mark I hit a plateau. So for me, it doesn't matter how fast or slow i go. Just that I take a diet break to break my plateau when I hit that mark. After I figured that out, I'm back on track to lose more weight.
Recovering from a weight loss stall and I can tell you that it IS hard to keep on keeping on when the damned scale refuses to move! With 57 pounds down and 138 more to go, I know that chipping away at it 1/2 a pound a week is going to make it difficult to keep motivated. Until I hit Onederland(being under 200 pounds) I am going to TRY to drop as much as I can, as fast as I can. Now that I have a better understanding of how to do this safely, I'm running with scissors.
Great video! I'm trying to loose weight myself, i need to loose 15 kg in about 2-3 months do you all think it's possible? I'm combining intermittent fasting with it, eating 12pm - 5pm or 12pm - 7 pm don't know what to eat i need to loose 10-15 killos quick.
Hey health nerd! Can you talk about ketosis as a way to reverse (if possible) Alzheimer? Is it possible for a 74 year old woman without gallbladder to use keto diet? Thanks 👍🏻
Losing more than 2lbs a week may be healthy if you have enough weight to lose, however I like to stick to 2-3% body fat%/week over 20% and 1-2% body fat%/week there under. Crash diets also slow your metabolic rate decreasing your BMR or TDE which requires you to further cut calories or increase activity levels much higher than you would if you cut the weight more slowly. Slow weight loss isn't recommended only because it's easier, but because it saves more lean tissue and preserves the highest metabolic rate. A diet should have you eating as much food as you can while still losing weight, not barely eating anything just to save a few pounds 2 months faster. You have your whole life to live healthy no need to crash it out in 5 months and sit on a 12oo calorie maintenance for the rest of your life when you can achieve the goals slower but maintain a higher daily allowance. Just my 2c
it is really encouraging that half of the rules floating around can be ignored (at least according to the most recent understanding of the matter). If I have a caloric deficit, I will lose weight. If I eat balanced meals, I will gain health. If I exercise, both weight loss and health gains go up a bit. Everything else that is recommended (cut carbs/fat/this/that, eat then/not then) is either controversial, unimportant or both. That's good. What I eat precisely is only relevant with respect to getting all nutrients and with respect to helping me achieve my caloric goals (i.e. satiety and stuff).
Good luck eating healthy when your family does nothing bit cook bad food 😂. Your family meals hugely affect your weight. If you are in a polynesian family, good luck losing weight. When you lose weight polynesian families complain that you're too skinny and then stuff you like a Turkey. Then when you start a healthy diet, your family does nothing but cook terribly good food. Then boom goes the diet 😂😂
The health nerd is bae!! Loved that! I lost over 100lbs. & did it quickly one with God's help & two a drastic change in diet. Diet is Key to losing weight. I eat 95% fruits & veggies
I would love to have you cover eating and exercising for people diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I just found your channel and have subscribed. I would love more knowledge about foods that make it worse or better. And exercises that you can do to have joints remain as mobile as possible. Thank you.
Is it ok to eat 1200 calories a day and also once in awhile have an ice cream or something? I’ve been struggling with giving up sweets. I did completely for about a month and lost a lot of weight. But now I’m exercising everyday and eating a little over 800 to 1200 calories a day.
Thnx a lot Health Nerd! But just one thing in one of your other vids u said that each new subscriber you get a baby dolphin is born and now u are saying that a baby gecko is born. What is the real study bruh?But anyway your vids are gr8 pls continue to make new vids. Keep going. XD
I disagree with the aggressive diet thing, people should set reasonable expectations and set goals further out. I lost 40 lbs this way and it took me 18 months, I've kept it off. Studies show that the longer and more consistent amount of time you spend making changes the more likely they'll stick. Granted if I could change anything about how I went about it, it'd be that I'd have gone more keto.
Ive cut my calories intake . in my diet and I eat fish eggs , vegetables like cauliflower , spinach and pulses . in nuts I eat almonds , cashew , And Also coconut . I eat rice twice in a week coz I am from India n rice is bae. Ive cut sugar entirely.. I eat fruits N exercise 30 minutes daily 20 minutes cardio 10 minutes ab , Legs and arms toning. . within 1 week I lost one inch around my chaist and muffin area
Please stop with the baby geckos, I'm trying to lose weight and I've been able to cut down and I'm now only eating only 4 baby geckos a week, if too many are born, I'm afraid I'll just be tempted to eat the excess.
the health neard is bae for sure ..... kindly do a topic on periods and why we crave so much bad food and also we we went from 130 to 142lbs over night thankx bae
Thank you for this great video. I know there are a lot of people who will debate about the last one. I think it come from the "change your lifestyle' talk... and I do believe that to not put weight back on you have to change your lifestyle, so the crazy diets mentioned are not good because those are not sustainable. However the only way I have ever lost weight was by being militant about caloric intake. As a wellness coach for 14 years, I can tell you when you see the weight loss happen it is so motivating! Losing fast is very important so people do not give up.
The study about saturated fat and health disease changes the subject and has zero to do with what makes people fat. This video keeps changing the subject. Weird.
Of course if you cut your calories back further you’re going to lose more weight that’s go’s for any living mammal , and in certain life threatening situations it makes sense what with the diabetes crisis these days .. However I wouldn’t crash my diet, yeah yeah it’s a motivation losing weight fast that’s true I won’t disagree with that but I also think it’s a Heath trap as well ... I personally think it’s better to cut the calories by 500 a calories a day of your maintenance weight anymore then that your running on empty .. remember a deficit is a deficit
to idea of losing weight slow is so ur skin can bounce back, not so much about how much u lose. One study doesn't prove anything, I've losted fat very fast in the past but it all came back when u finally can't hold on anymore. That weight loss study must have been done on obese ppl coz normal bmi ppl should go slow since they have significantly less fat to lose.
Is having a high metabolism good or bad?. As smaller animals have higher metabolism they age and hence die faster. I think the longevity that people attribute to intermittent fasting is due to this lowering of metabolism. Can anybody clarify?
How to balance hormones for weight loss! Women have problems with weight loss partially due to misinformation on hormones. I'd love to see a video on that topic
For the exercise part, I want to add that while diet is wholly more important in *weight loss* than exercise, there have been studies which show dieting without exercise (specifically weight training) leads to greater muscle loss. So, while diet and exercise vs diet alone may show similar results, it is important to look at body composition as well.
I have one that I'm curious about Health Nerd. I hear so many different opinions and advices on how many times and how much it's healthy to work out. It seems as I'm doing something wrong no matter where I turn. Hope you can help me out
This video is irresponsible. Fat is what makes some people fat. It is possible to exercise it off, but to deny that fat is the substance that causes fatness is... ridiculous.
So losing weight quicker will not make you lose more muscle vs if you were to lose weight slowly? Since you said there aren't any downsides to losing it quickly.
The similar weight loss between the 2 groups could be explained. The group using exercise and diet didn't lose much more than the just diet group, possibly because they were gaining muscle at the same time they were losing fat. So their weight could be the same, but their body composition isn't
In the book "French Women Don't Get Fat", the author does recommend a gradual healthy life to ease into it so it's not a shock but she also includes a fantastic leek soup recipe to kick start your new lifestyle. You drink it for the first three days and because it is a mild diuretic, you drop weight very fast during that time while getting your greens in. It is meant to boost your confidence and encourage you to want to keep trying since you see the results so fast. I think militant diets do work (if done safely and in a short spurt of time) since it might give people the motivation they need but after that short time, you got to make changes to your lifestyle and diet that you can stick with.
Shouldn’t I worry that if I go on a stricter diet and reduce my calories too much my bmr will decrease and will make me plateau faster than losing the weight slowly?
Very sharply made video! The facts are great without getting too deep while still being there in the description. Fully appreciate the disclosure on "this part is controversial," too many people spouting one side or the other as fact.
As far as I can tell, the safety of high dietary saturated fat is currently a point of controversy. Telling people this controversy is solved is potentially dangerous and unethical.
I love The Health Nerd and Picture Fit a lot. I watched a lot of videos of you guys which has motivated me to lose weight and even start a channel where I am documenting my own weight loss, trying to share info and details of my macros and calorie budget as an example of how this can be done in a healthy manner. I appreciate the effort you show in your videos a lot and I hope that our channel can be as successful as yours...
Hey health nerd Can you make a diet plan for weight loss Your videos really motivates me, but i dont know where to start I hope you are seeing this comment
Do you have to eliminate dairy from your diet, what if you tend to eat Cheerios quite often in the mornings? What if that yoplait commercial made you think that it'd be yogurts to aid in weight loss.
How can i get rid of my muffin top? i've been working out for years and i've lost weight all over my body but my muffin top is still there and i don't know how to get rid of it!
Can you make a video about the different types of salts i.e. iodized, hymalilayin, sea salt, and more? And if choosing one is better or healthier than the other?
Here is the deal how often do you a overweight Amish person ? They eat real food and work with their hands all day long. They eat very little process food. They eat food from a garden.
Can you do a video on weight loss plateaus? Are plateaus a a myth or do they actually happen? Can they still happen if you are strict and stay on your diet/exercise plan?
Everyone is different. I like that health nerd points that out in almost every video. No two people have the exactly the same needs and won't find the same methods effective.
the health nerd IS Bae!!....
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Nice again!
Thanks PF!

How to break a weight loss plateau? Nice videos by the way!
Reconsider what you're eating. You might have hit a plateau because your body demands have come in line with your energy consumption. It might be as easy as changing a few things on your plate to skipping a snack or two.
Or take a week off the diet to kinda trick your body. That has helped me and some other people i´ve talked too!^
I use a 4 step process to get clients over plateaus:
#1. Check overall calorie intake. Diligent measuring and tracking for a week.
#2. Try resistance training 3x a week (helps prevent the down-regulation of metabolism

#4. If all of that fails, it's time to check in with a doctor. Get blood work down and take a look under the hood.
If you are still drinking coffee with milk and sugar or to many smoothies can make you plateau I found as soon as I ditched sugary milky drinks the weight fell off rapidly
I actually don't drink milk anymore and also smoothies but thanks for the help! I love drinking my black coffee w/almond milk :)

Hi there, Health Nerd :D
Would you make a video about plant protein. What are the best choices of plants and which ones have most protein? etc
Thanks!
Hey Josh, I'll add a best sources of protein video to the list :)
awesome video as always!!! may be go over protein absorption rate one day....
Sure thing :)
how can I lose 2lbs a week, I really need to, im eating Fish and veggies, water n gym, but lost 4lbs in a month
Counting calories? How many carbohydrates are you consuming per day?
I don't know, I know it's not a lot. I never really counted and that's something my nutritionist told me to start doing. for breakfast I had a packet of oatmeal and a light Greek yogurt.
36g carb for oatmeal & 9g for light n fit Greek yogurt
download an app... to the very smart phone... type in what you eat and how much. does the math for us 😁
Hey, four pounds in a month is still something! Consider: are you gaining muscle? Muscle weights more than fat with the same volume, that could potentially be the culprit. And make sure you're getting enough sleep and lower your stress levels, a lack of sleep or excess of stress can make you keep or gain weight.

A video on CBD and the health benefits would be awesome!
There's a saying for for the whole abs thing. "abs are made in the kitchen not the gym." You get abs by having a really low body fat percentage.
Exactly!
I'm so glad I found your channel this weekend, and binge watched all the videos :) You're inspiring and educating me on my weight loss journey, THANK YOU!
haha thanks Jacklyn :)
I don’t know how I got here, but I like the info.
New subscriber 😘

It's calories more than any specific food. A video about how to get a 6 pack sounds like a pretty good idea... I'll add it to the list!
I really love your channel!! Keep updating us with scientific tips and methods for healthy weight loss.😃

Could you make a video about sugar? Or adrenal fatigue?
Sugar has been getting a lot of requests. Will do.
Ever since I started my journey to a new lifestyle, I've been hearing all these myths come up again and again. Thanks for making this video. Subbed!
Nice! Thank you for subscribing and being here Holden!
I like your videos , thanks for the information
Anytime Mahmoud! Thanks for watching!
vaping and weight woss
Health Need will you please debunk or talk about medications that are said to make you gain weight?
Interesting. Wish I knew more about it to be honest. Are you trying to gain weight?
the health nerd is bae
Very helpful. I am struggling with PCOS and I love watching your videos. Also, I would like to see the creators of thehealthnerd. Pleeeeeaaaaaaasssssse!!!
Absolutely love your videos!!! Can you make one on what to eat for breakfast lunch and dinner to get best weight loss- thank you ❤️
These are the kinds of videos I love to see. Focusing on educating people on what works and what doesn't by appealing to their intelligence and making it easy to understand for those who aren't as educated. I've seen plenty of channels that only tell people to do certain things and to not do certain things with absolutely no explanation why other than it does(n't) work.
Once your channel grows more, I hope we'll be able to see it evolve and delve a little deeper into the actual science. :)
Thanks Alex. I think you really understand what we are going for. At this time, I am supremely limited by the size of my channel to the certain topics I can cover and the depth I can go into. Just the nature of growing on TH-cam I guess...
One day, I do hope we can go deeper into the science. Maybe be the CGP Grey of Fitness or something like that lol. One can dream :P
FOR THE NORTH!!! I MEAN THE GECKOS!
I did a ketogenic-type diet for 18 weeks and lost 40 pounds. 2 months later I had to have my gallbladder removed. Now I'm struggling to adjust my diet to where I'm not physically uncomfortable, taking in a healthy amount of fat, and not gain weight but I haven't found the key in 3 months (unless it's a fully raw fat free diet). Any videos?
Just bought the course - very excited. This reasonably priced! Especially compared to Noom and Weight Watchers. And I think I am going to like the Health Nerd a lot better!
Last year I lost 30 lbs quickly and hit a weight loss plateau, i stayed there for 6 months (despite constantly dieting and exercising) and finally gave up on losing weight. I then gained 50 pounds (+20 from starting weight), when I decided to try to lose weight again. This time I did it slowly, and again, at the 30lb mark I hit a plateau. So for me, it doesn't matter how fast or slow i go. Just that I take a diet break to break my plateau when I hit that mark. After I figured that out, I'm back on track to lose more weight.
Recovering from a weight loss stall and I can tell you that it IS hard to keep on keeping on when the damned scale refuses to move! With 57 pounds down and 138 more to go, I know that chipping away at it 1/2 a pound a week is going to make it difficult to keep motivated. Until I hit Onederland(being under 200 pounds) I am going to TRY to drop as much as I can, as fast as I can. Now that I have a better understanding of how to do this safely, I'm running with scissors.
Well I'm skinny and I want to put up some weight! Maybe I'll do the opposite of everything here😂 Just saying. Great content though.
Great video! I'm trying to loose weight myself, i need to loose 15 kg in about 2-3 months do you all think it's possible? I'm combining intermittent fasting with it, eating 12pm - 5pm or 12pm - 7 pm don't know what to eat i need to loose 10-15 killos quick.
Mr.Nerd I like your voice and science based explanation but I don’t see any videos from you in 2020 why so ??
A group of baby geckos were born thanks to me
Hey health nerd! Can you talk about ketosis as a way to reverse (if possible) Alzheimer? Is it possible for a 74 year old woman without gallbladder to use keto diet?
Thanks 👍🏻
Losing more than 2lbs a week may be healthy if you have enough weight to lose, however I like to stick to 2-3% body fat%/week over 20% and 1-2% body fat%/week there under. Crash diets also slow your metabolic rate decreasing your BMR or TDE which requires you to further cut calories or increase activity levels much higher than you would if you cut the weight more slowly. Slow weight loss isn't recommended only because it's easier, but because it saves more lean tissue and preserves the highest metabolic rate. A diet should have you eating as much food as you can while still losing weight, not barely eating anything just to save a few pounds 2 months faster. You have your whole life to live healthy no need to crash it out in 5 months and sit on a 12oo calorie maintenance for the rest of your life when you can achieve the goals slower but maintain a higher daily allowance.
Just my 2c
it is really encouraging that half of the rules floating around can be ignored (at least according to the most recent understanding of the matter). If I have a caloric deficit, I will lose weight. If I eat balanced meals, I will gain health. If I exercise, both weight loss and health gains go up a bit. Everything else that is recommended (cut carbs/fat/this/that, eat then/not then) is either controversial, unimportant or both. That's good. What I eat precisely is only relevant with respect to getting all nutrients and with respect to helping me achieve my caloric goals (i.e. satiety and stuff).
Good luck eating healthy when your family does nothing bit cook bad food 😂. Your family meals hugely affect your weight. If you are in a polynesian family, good luck losing weight. When you lose weight polynesian families complain that you're too skinny and then stuff you like a Turkey. Then when you start a healthy diet, your family does nothing but cook terribly good food. Then boom goes the diet 😂😂
The health nerd is bae!! Loved that! I lost over 100lbs. & did it quickly one with God's help & two a drastic change in diet. Diet is Key to losing weight. I eat 95% fruits & veggies
I would love to have you cover eating and exercising for people diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I just found your channel and have subscribed. I would love more knowledge about foods that make it worse or better. And exercises that you can do to have joints remain as mobile as possible. Thank you.
Straight to the point. Logical. No bullshit talks. I like this channel. New subscriber by the way.
Is it ok to eat 1200 calories a day and also once in awhile have an ice cream or something? I’ve been struggling with giving up sweets. I did completely for about a month and lost a lot of weight. But now I’m exercising everyday and eating a little over 800 to 1200 calories a day.
Thnx a lot Health Nerd! But just one thing in one of your other vids u said that each new subscriber you get a baby dolphin is born and now u are saying that a baby gecko is born. What is the real study bruh?But anyway your vids are gr8 pls continue to make new vids. Keep going. XD
I disagree with the aggressive diet thing, people should set reasonable expectations and set goals further out. I lost 40 lbs this way and it took me 18 months, I've kept it off. Studies show that the longer and more consistent amount of time you spend making changes the more likely they'll stick. Granted if I could change anything about how I went about it, it'd be that I'd have gone more keto.
I find it very difficult to maintain.... I lost 42 kg and I maintained for a year now but its difficult! Can you suggest something
Ive cut my calories intake . in my diet and I eat fish eggs , vegetables like cauliflower , spinach and pulses . in nuts I eat almonds , cashew , And Also coconut . I eat rice twice in a week coz I am from India n rice is bae.
Ive cut sugar entirely..
I eat fruits
N exercise 30 minutes daily
20 minutes cardio
10 minutes ab , Legs and arms toning.
.
within 1 week I lost one inch around my chaist and muffin area
Please stop with the baby geckos, I'm trying to lose weight and I've been able to cut down and I'm now only eating only 4 baby geckos a week, if too many are born, I'm afraid I'll just be tempted to eat the excess.
Really great videos! I wonder if you can cover the subject of binge eating. Thanks!
the health neard is bae for sure ..... kindly do a topic on periods and why we crave so much bad food and also we we went from 130 to 142lbs over night thankx bae
Thank you for this great video. I know there are a lot of people who will debate about the last one. I think it come from the "change your lifestyle' talk... and I do believe that to not put weight back on you have to change your lifestyle, so the crazy diets mentioned are not good because those are not sustainable. However the only way I have ever lost weight was by being militant about caloric intake. As a wellness coach for 14 years, I can tell you when you see the weight loss happen it is so motivating! Losing fast is very important so people do not give up.
The study about saturated fat and health disease changes the subject and has zero to do with what makes people fat. This video keeps changing the subject. Weird.
An excellent movie pill, again... I am sure you'll get more and more subscribers!
Definitely not six meals per day, but not even a strict diet. You're gonna get stretch marks otherwise :(
Of course if you cut your calories back further you’re going to lose more weight that’s go’s for any living mammal , and in certain life threatening situations it makes sense what with the diabetes crisis these days ..
However I wouldn’t crash my diet,
yeah yeah it’s a motivation losing weight fast that’s true I won’t disagree with that
but I also think it’s a Heath trap as well ... I personally think it’s better to cut the calories by 500 a calories a day of your maintenance weight anymore then that your running on empty ..
remember a deficit is a deficit
to idea of losing weight slow is so ur skin can bounce back, not so much about how much u lose. One study doesn't prove anything, I've losted fat very fast in the past but it all came back when u finally can't hold on anymore. That weight loss study must have been done on obese ppl coz normal bmi ppl should go slow since they have significantly less fat to lose.
Is having a high metabolism good or bad?. As smaller animals have higher metabolism they age and hence die faster. I think the longevity that people attribute to intermittent fasting is due to this lowering of metabolism. Can anybody clarify?
i hate the word bae. So I'll just say the health nerd is fucking awesome! d-(^_^)z
How to balance hormones for weight loss! Women have problems with weight loss partially due to misinformation on hormones. I'd love to see a video on that topic
wow, I just realize everything I know are all myths. (shocked)
For the exercise part, I want to add that while diet is wholly more important in *weight loss* than exercise, there have been studies which show dieting without exercise (specifically weight training) leads to greater muscle loss. So, while diet and exercise vs diet alone may show similar results, it is important to look at body composition as well.
I have one that I'm curious about Health Nerd.
I hear so many different opinions and advices on how many times and how much it's healthy to work out. It seems as I'm doing something wrong no matter where I turn.
Hope you can help me out
This video is irresponsible. Fat is what makes some people fat. It is possible to exercise it off, but to deny that fat is the substance that causes fatness is... ridiculous.
This channel is So interesting and super easy to understand. One of my fav..... love you health nerd.
So losing weight quicker will not make you lose more muscle vs if you were to lose weight slowly? Since you said there aren't any downsides to losing it quickly.
"Myth" 2 is NOT a myth. Exercise alone can, yes, help you lose weight.
The biggest hurdle to weight loss: REFINED SUGAR
I suggest regarding how much time we do an exercise. A lot of people told me different kind of times and I get confused. I love your videos. 😊
Can u plz tell ...how much calorie deficit one needs to loose weight and stay healthy....with diet or excercise
The health nerd is very helpful (I didn't say bae because I don't know what bae means)
i find health nerd cool 😄 coz i m nerdy too. but seriously m so confused ryt now different people hvng different reviews for weight loss..
The similar weight loss between the 2 groups could be explained. The group using exercise and diet didn't lose much more than the just diet group, possibly because they were gaining muscle at the same time they were losing fat. So their weight could be the same, but their body composition isn't
In the book "French Women Don't Get Fat", the author does recommend a gradual healthy life to ease into it so it's not a shock but she also includes a fantastic leek soup recipe to kick start your new lifestyle. You drink it for the first three days and because it is a mild diuretic, you drop weight very fast during that time while getting your greens in. It is meant to boost your confidence and encourage you to want to keep trying since you see the results so fast. I think militant diets do work (if done safely and in a short spurt of time) since it might give people the motivation they need but after that short time, you got to make changes to your lifestyle and diet that you can stick with.
Shouldn’t I worry that if I go on a stricter diet and reduce my calories too much my bmr will decrease and will make me plateau faster than losing the weight slowly?
Absolutely love it, backs up everything I've been reading.
Very sharply made video! The facts are great without getting too deep while still being there in the description. Fully appreciate the disclosure on "this part is controversial," too many people spouting one side or the other as fact.
As far as I can tell, the safety of high dietary saturated fat is currently a point of controversy. Telling people this controversy is solved is potentially dangerous and unethical.
I love The Health Nerd and Picture Fit a lot. I watched a lot of videos of you guys which has motivated me to lose weight and even start a channel where I am documenting my own weight loss, trying to share info and details of my macros and calorie budget as an example of how this can be done in a healthy manner. I appreciate the effort you show in your videos a lot and I hope that our channel can be as successful as yours...
V good format.. good content, enuf context and fantastic pace .... subscribed!
Hello there, I want to know if Leanpekrone
Diet Plan, will work for me? I see many people keep on speaking about
this popular weight loss diet plan.
Hey health nerd
Can you make a diet plan for weight loss
Your videos really motivates me, but i dont know where to start
I hope you are seeing this comment
Do you have to eliminate dairy from your diet, what if you tend to eat Cheerios quite often in the mornings? What if that yoplait commercial made you think that it'd be yogurts to aid in weight loss.
How can i get rid of my muffin top? i've been working out for years and i've lost weight all over my body but my muffin top is still there and i don't know how to get rid of it!
Hi, I'm a new subscriber. I'm really enjoying your videos!
Can you make a video about the different types of salts i.e. iodized, hymalilayin, sea salt, and more? And if choosing one is better or healthier than the other?
im hoping my subscription went on new freckle on Morgan Freeman's face
Is kombucha healthy/alcohol? and is it possible to get a bigger booty video!!!
Here is the deal how often do you a overweight Amish person ? They eat real food and work with their hands all day long. They eat very little process food. They eat food from a garden.
Research SMA syndrome caused by aggressive weight loss!
Thank you for working towards debunking the bullshit I hear about weight loss so often.
Can you do a video on weight loss plateaus? Are plateaus a a myth or do they actually happen? Can they still happen if you are strict and stay on your diet/exercise plan?
Everyone is different. I like that health nerd points that out in almost every video. No two people have the exactly the same needs and won't find the same methods effective.
