"You cannot break a habit that you're still doing." I NEED THIS POUNDED INTO MY BRAIN!!! I started Keto for the 4th or 5th time and what did I do - make a "keto cheesecake" oh my gosh!!!! This morning I was thinking, hey I need more almond flour so I can make the "keto mug bread." I have a family that does not understand my carb addiction - actual conversations: me: "I just can't have cakes or cookies in my house, I just can't stop eating the crap." Sister response: "There's nothing wrong with having a cake or cookies in your house - just eat a slice of the cake and don't have anymore til the next day." Seriously????? I have no idea how to even do that!!! I heard a story once of a woman who bought a cake for her family, they ate half the cake after dinner. The next day she ate the other half, went to the store, bought the same exact cake and ate half of that cake so when the family came home, there was still "half the cake from the night before." That's me - no I've never really done that particular thing, but I've binged on carbs so bad that I could barely breathe and I've done that many times. 37 years ago I was smoking and doing drugs - I kicked both of them cold turkey, just stopped and never went back, I've never had an issue with alcohol - probably because it tastes so horrible, this carb addiction is the worst thing ever and I've yo yo'd with my weight ever since. The year I stopped smoking I gained 60 pounds and it's been an uphill battle ever since. I am so thankful for these videos Dr. Cywes, so very thankful for you and the incredible work you're doing for us addicts. So sorry for this long comment, I'm just coming to such a truthful realization about myself through these videos. Wow.
That is me! I ate half the cake, bought a new one and ate half of it so it looks like I didn’t touch it. You can do this. I am down 60 lbs, went from a 9.2 A1c to a 5.2. My embarrassment is that I can’t get off my diet pop.
I fell off the wagon...🥴 I feel so different. My energy is low. My belly is rising. I am starting over today! This is my fast day today! Send positivity my way please...🙏
falling off wagon just means not enough meat. Increase your meat throughout the day and falling off becomes less and less and less and so on. Trust me it works :)
Thank you for addressing the real issues with carbs, emotional eating. People try to offer good advice about dieting, but most fail because of the emotional side. So few people understand that you can't remove an emotional crutch unless you have a healthier solution for your emotions. It would be great to see dietitians and therapists working together on the same health plan.
I always knew I had a severe sugar addiction (eating a lb of candy corn easily) but I never knew how much “healthy balanced eating” was priming me for constant relapses
I found that coffee and desert really screwed with my Keto journey, if i know there's a cookie in my fridge I'll eat it and then pay for it in upset colon since it's so processed it's not even funny. If you suck at managing your emotional eating don't have deserts in your fridge even keto ones
He's brilliant but speaking the TRUTH will cost him subs (if he promoted plant foods, or drugs, he'd be > 1 million subscribers already All I know is, I'll be following him forever, he's an authentic healer, something very rare thesedays
The best advice I've heard about snacking is to ask yourself "are you hungry enough for a whole meal? If not, why do you want to eat? Boredom? Anxiety?" So when my partner asks me if I want something in between meals, I'll tell him "I'm not hungry enough (for a whole meal)."
I’ve been watching your videos for over 18-months, and I believe I’ve seen them all. This one, I think, is the best. Thanks for clearly explaining how addiction works - this makes a LOT of things fall in to place. Thanks for all you do.
Wow! I just now realized that when I quit smoking 20+ years ago I replaced nicotine with carbohydrates. I started smoking when I was 12. I'm 62 now. From twelve years old I've been an addict. Fist it was nicotine. Now it's carbohydrates. Time to learn more about the way I handle anxiety, stress, depression, anger, fear, frustration, sadness, boredom, and pleasure. Thank you Dr. Cywes!
I definitely have Rottweiler syndrome. I’ve been carnivore for six months. I over eat meat cheese and sometimes my husband keto snacks in the evening. Then I blame myself in the morning and fast. I’ve been OK for months at a time. Then I mess up and it continues. I’m not overweight but I think I am so I know it’s a struggle and stress does not help. I love these talks
@@scottbrinks9248 so called 'strict intermittent fasting windows' will lead to failure - just don't eat when you're not hungry. you need to learn the difference between emotional hunger and genuine nutritional hunger. the former means you'll eat whenever you feel like it's appropriate, the latter you'll eat probably twice a day, lots of meat, eggs, fish. doing this in practice is difficult but gets easier everyday you follow it and you learn so much about your self. you'll never be done and will always be practicing this skill. once accepted you can never fail - this doesn't mean you'll once in a while eat processed crap but it's understanding why you eat that - is it really because of it is someones birthday or is it because you feel tired, low, stressed? As a result, adopt better emotional management to cope better, and develop resilience, good luck.
I’ve been doing low low carb for two months and I feel good but at times I do feel a under lining Anxiety some times I eat to much meat because I’m trying to Sooth myself . Hoping that will change. Thank you for your teaching.
Add more fat to your meal. Beef trimmings or suet are cheap. I get my beef trimming from a local butcher for free. I cut them up in little bite size squares and fry them. Another trick is to always have hard boiled eggs available. If I'm not really hungry I can't eat one bite of egg. My brain and throat say heck no. But if I'm really hungry I can eat one with no problem and no seasonings on it. Tastes amazing! But if I'm emotional eating it tastes awful.
I can't believe I just discovered this! Life changing information here. I love this no BS approach. Feel like I've been waiting for someone to explain everything to me in this way. I've been trying to get off carbs/sugar in preparation for having kids soon. You think that would be enough motivation but I still can't shake the habit and cravings. Carbohydrate addition is so real and so down played. I feel really happy to have heard the information in this video. Thank you!
Thanks Doc! I am 55 and heavy to obese all of my life. I was always the "healthy" fat guy, until I wasn't anymore. Seven weeks in, (5/1/21) and I am 50+ pounds lighter on my OMAD and Carnivore diet. Jane was a big help getting me to trust that OMAD wouldn't trash my metabolism and to allow my body to "eat in" and eating sequentially! Still working on the effort based alternatives though. Looking forward to speaking with you at our appointment in November!
What a relief! I am trying to transition from low carb and keto to carnivore because I feel so bad, especially joints. I thought I would have to give up my coffee. I can keep it!
Before I started to change my diet I am totally a Carbs addict (I say I am like an alcoholic would say at an AA meeting).I love bread, bananas, mashed potato, crisps and anything else carb like LOTS of fruit. I was taken in by the food industry that told me I could eat my carbs and be healthy. I have had an elevated blood sugar level of 100 since I was 40 I am now 59 and my last blood sugar result was 107 and my doc said I am now borderline type 2 diabetic. My body weight is 75Kg and I am 1.80 M tall with a BMI of 23 which puts me in the healthy BMI category. I work at home and in the morning I would eat 2 slices of wholemeal bread (Thinking this is ok cos its wholemeal lots of fibre) then snack around 3 to 4 slices in an afternon with just butter on it.Then another 2 or 3 slices in the evening.That is a usual 8 slices a day of bread! Oh and now lets talk about my alcohol thats not carbs right? Wrong there are plenty of carbs on a beer or 3. I am now on an experiment, no bread and no beer low amount of fruit(no bananas) I want to see if the high fat medium protein and low carbs will be on my sugar levels I am doing for 3 weeks and this week I have had my blood works done.I will see on monday if my blood sugar has reacted to my diet.Lets see. I am looking forward to the results. P.S. 3 weeks in and I am starting to feel better in my health.
hows it going? btw A1C takes 3 months to record the full result of changing to low carb...once you eat the carbs, the sugar is stuck onto your red blood cells which live 3 months.
THIS was excellent Dr. Cywes and even though i've been eating keto/carnivore for almost 5 mos now, you made me aware that I still have a lot I need to work on. I quit "smoking" 3 yrs ago - but I am still vaping. Thank you so much for helping me to see I still have a long way to go. Honestly, the vaping is something that I have no good answer about how exactly to quit - other than cold turkey - but i've always relied on nicotine when trying to change other unhealthy habits. This is going to take some thought. BTW, I called your office today and they are checking to see if you take my Medicare health insurance - I'm really hoping you do. Thank you so much for all you do to help people - thank you also for not having "Keto" products you push.
I'm addicted to coffee and have been trying to stop. But the caffeine...awe...feels so good. It's very calming but really it's not. I tried decaffeinated and it just doesn't do for me. It's true...the best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup. I'm with you Doc, I'm not addicted...but I will say I'm in LOVE with coffee and I don't care who knows it!
I used to be able to concentrate and do calorie counting when I was younger. Three years ago I was able to fast. Now that I’m 47 everything is nearly impossible but I was 25 pounds over my goal weight for seven years. I would think that this a sign of insulin resistance. Like mentally I could not fight the sugar and carbs. Finally I seen it no other way and now that most carbs are out of my system I don’t even want to snack on candy now. Thank you Dr. Ken for getting the ball rolling.
I’m a chronic pain patient and a recovering opioid addict that has been paleo keto since 2016 and non dairy keto carnivore since 2019. I still have “Rottweiler ” (sp?) syndrome because the act/process of chewing and swallowing are the only things that truly make me feel alive anymore. I’m addicted to feeling stuffed. I don’t use artificial sweeteners and I don’t crave carbs. I just crave the act of eating to manage pain induced anxiety.
Spot on as always! I went about my keto journey a little differently where I allowed myself to hang on to my Lily's chocolate and keto ice cream crutches to get by as a carb addict in a house full of junk food that belongs to other non-keto carb addicts. Now I'm at the point where I know in order to get the rest of the weight off, I have to let go of those crutches and get better at knowing when I'm actually hungry.
10:47 I do like a bullet proof coffee ( Black with a teaspoon of double cream) when Ghrelin grumbles. Keeps the baddies and carbs at bay. I know it’s an emotional reaction but works for me. 🤗☕️
I started my keto journey beginning in Jan, 2020 by eliminating carbs over 4 months. By April 15th, I slid into keto and then in July became a carnivore. Now, my A1c is almost at 5.0 (5.9), my weight down 70lbs., and I'm so happy to now have you and Jane to help me fine tune my understanding. I want that cup. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🥰
hahaaa ive been waiting since first part i agree with everything you said about the fitness industry its absolutly clear that we critically need voices like yours im gonna watch this one this evening looking forward to those insights reasoning and explanations thank you so much for all your work my brother
When I was a lecturer it was energy drinks. Pupils would come into class in the morning having only consumed an energy drink. Hyperactive for an hour and a half then crash to nothing... couple that with little sleep due to staying up late and it was all but impossible to engage learning.
Kids these days have no resilience. How in the world are they going to function in the workforce without someone to hold their hand?? I dread to think.....
I am not a millilenial basher....but....I have noticed this in the ones I have had the pleasure to supervise. They stop when they hit an obstacle. Makes it hard for them to be self driven in a lot of ways.
@@769jojo I think it depends on the person, not their age. I'm a millennial who is working, taking online college classes, and raising six kids. I've never met an obstacle I couldn't overcome. Now, I've known many people older than me who were not resilient at all and some younger who are doing very well and are better off than me. It's not fair to judge any group of people because everyone is so different.
Thank you again for your insights. I appreciate it. Our carb addition is a long journey to heal. I embrace it and working to better manage it. The more carnivore I am, the easy it gets
That Vaping comment is 100% correct. I actually find vapeing for me also opens up the door for binge eating carbs. I use to reserve this for a Sunday with the rest of the week being clean keto. It worked for 5 years but over the last 3 months i have fallen off the wagon.
I have been watching your videos for quite some time now, but this one especially resonated with me. So....how do we develop these new and healthy ways to deal with the emotions we typically 'eat or drink'?? Thank you for all the time and thought that you put into your videos.
Dr Cywes promotes an endorphin management plan: Indulging in activities during the day that you are proud of (BP back pat), establish a fortress of solitude where you can escape your world, do fun activities every day, engage in creative arts, spirituality, physical activity, human connection, objectivify your mistakes OAC-ownership, analysis, correction. Review his video library to find his vlogs on emotional management.
BS.... there Doc, i said it for you!!! I think every person who watched your video said it in their head n with a smile at your beautiful sneaky smile! Keep your great videos coming!
Sometimes I snack when I am tired or wanting some quick energy. In this hot weather I have found if I just drink water I get the energy and a break. I also snack when I want a break - back hurting or tedious work- possibly could just lie down and close my eyes for a few minutes instead.
You have change my mind set alot and I thank you so much .you have changed how I deal with emotions and carbs . I have lost quite a lot of weight with your help and from a few other keto diet channels and fitness TH-camrs .
@@thehorseyourodeinon2041 I understand the German Short Hair Pointers are "food motivated" as well. They will take your arm if it's in the way all while not meaning too. Great dogs tho.
Absolutely amazing I cant stop watching Dr Cywes every thing he says I can relate to and I also went down that road of a gastric band which I no longer have and I have put on 20kg which I now want to loose. Thankyou for teaching me what to eat and how to eat. Hello from Australia.
How do you fill that hole? I listen to your video and realize I do all three and constantly have to fight against it. I was doing great following Fung's processes and then was in a car accident and broke my back. In fact, I had scheduled an appointment with your dietician and then had to cancel as I was in the hospital, and also with you and then canceled as I was trying to recover from surgery. Feeling lost as I'm still trying to recover and frustrated as the pain doesn't seem to want to go away, and struggling with once again with the entire process of eating, nutrition, and healing. Guess I need to reschedule....
Hang in there. You can do this!! I shattered 2 vertebrae 4/2019 and have hardware. Still struggled with pain issues but 2/21 I started keto. Pain 1/10 most days. And I supplement with CBD oil several times a week. I’m down 40# and I’m sure that too has helped my poor back not to have the extra weight. I’ve restarted all the exercises PT had given me (PT stopped due to lockdown n I didn’t follow thru much). You will definitely benefit following thru with Jane and Dr Cywes. Best of luck on your journey!!
Here's a comment about your coffee... YUM!!!! That is all thanks for keeping me in line sir. You are super... even if not perfect. Neither is anyone else.
I believe addiction is natural. It's why we have a dopamine reward system to learn and adapt. The problem is really easy accessibility to carbs. Never in the history of evolution have we ever had access to refined carbs and sugars 24x7 like how we do now. But whenever we did come across some honey or fruits we gorged on them like no tomorrow
While I don't disagree with you. But addiction is the body's physiological natural response due to over stimulation of the reward system whether if it results in harm or not. 24x7 accessibility is the real problem I still believe. Isn't that why you intentionally don't keep ice cream and M&M's in the house? If we didn't have easy access to harmful addictive substances then addiction is a non-issue. We are all addicted to something I would think
You speak the truth. Everytime I clean up my diet I feel great til Life happens and I fall back on carbs to feel better and end up in a whirlwind of diet failure and cheats. And gain the weight back. I tried explaining this before to friends and they looked at me like I'm crazy 🤪
Ooooh I was feeling very guilty listening to this video 🙄. I was given a lovely bag of pecan, choc chip cookies for my birthday & I decided to have 2 with my black coffee while I listened to this podcast. I am not overweight but I realize for my health, I need to cut out junk food. Thanks for your advice & tips Dr Cywess 👍
Yes, I am sitting with an abundance of food. I waited 19 hours from my last night’s meal to fill up; so, I will enjoy this vid while I consume this wonderful meal. Any idea why hunger goes away as one goes into nutritional ketosis?
Right on 😂 don't get between me and my coffee! I think you forgot to mention your psychology degree 😮. This type of common sense can only come from the school of hard knocks!! Thanks so much!!
That is what I have come to love about carnivore for me is that I can now trust my hunger and I only get hungry typically twice a day sometimes only once.
So, I guess I am missing something. What is the answer to the question when do you eat if not when you are hungry? At what point does one decide that they do in fact need to have nutrition or is he simply saying not to eat snacks out of habit. For instance, I have been trying to stop myself from eating right after I get home from work. I normally get home at 5 and have a lot of hunger. I left a couple hours early today from work and experienced the same hunger at 3! I realize that this is habit based and something that needs to be controlled but at what point is it okay to actually eat? Is it when there are no other cues that could be driving your hunger?
Very very very interesting.. Im not obese however, I love your approach Your words are like music.. will hear you over again And always.. Thank you endlessly 🙏🖐👍👍👍💝
@@Norman_Gunstan1 sorry, I’ve gone back several times and he says pregnancy! By the way I love, love, love his accent and follow him because he’s smart, talks neat and is adorable.
Thank you for your insights and common sense approach to this v real problem, so many valid points, it made me realize something as minor as a seeing little to no change on the scale gives me permission to eat/drink poorly, get the carb high and start over again in 2-3 days, until my life becomes a version of the movie Groundhog day, thanks again

Very sad.

I found that coffee and desert really screwed with my Keto journey, if i know there's a cookie in my fridge I'll eat it and then pay for it in upset colon since it's so processed it's not even funny.
If you suck at managing your emotional eating don't have deserts in your fridge even keto ones
I would hear those things call to me. So I don't bring them home . I can't eat it if it's not in my house. 😄
Coffee is perfect for me too ☕️ 16 months relaxed carnivore 🥩 🥚 🧀

I'm addicted to coffee and have been trying to stop. But the caffeine...awe...feels so good. It's very calming but really it's not. I tried decaffeinated and it just doesn't do for me. It's true...the best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup. I'm with you Doc, I'm not addicted...but I will say I'm in LOVE with coffee and I don't care who knows it!
Not a thing wrong with coffee is carnivores love our coffee
I used to be able to concentrate and do calorie counting when I was younger. Three years ago I was able to fast. Now that I’m 47 everything is nearly impossible but I was 25 pounds over my goal weight for seven years. I would think that this a sign of insulin resistance. Like mentally I could not fight the sugar and carbs. Finally I seen it no other way and now that most carbs are out of my system I don’t even want to snack on candy now. Thank you Dr. Ken for getting the ball rolling.
Dr.Ken?
I’m a chronic pain patient and a recovering opioid addict that has been paleo keto since 2016 and non dairy keto carnivore since 2019. I still have “Rottweiler ” (sp?) syndrome because the act/process of chewing and swallowing are the only things that truly make me feel alive anymore. I’m addicted to feeling stuffed. I don’t use artificial sweeteners and I don’t crave carbs. I just crave the act of eating to manage pain induced anxiety.
Wow ... it seems so intuitively obvious. Talk about not seeing the trees through the forest. Thank you for the insight and clarity.
Don't let the perfect become the enemy of the good. Between coffee and M&Ms, coffee every time.
Spot on as always! I went about my keto journey a little differently where I allowed myself to hang on to my Lily's chocolate and keto ice cream crutches to get by as a carb addict in a house full of junk food that belongs to other non-keto carb addicts. Now I'm at the point where I know in order to get the rest of the weight off, I have to let go of those crutches and get better at knowing when I'm actually hungry.
10:47 I do like a bullet proof coffee ( Black with a teaspoon of double cream) when Ghrelin grumbles. Keeps the baddies and carbs at bay. I know it’s an emotional reaction but works for me. 🤗☕️
That’s not a BPC.
@@TheRealRealOK Amazing how people in this community would think that is BPC.
A much needed message thank you so much for sharing.
I started my keto journey beginning in Jan, 2020 by eliminating carbs over 4 months. By April 15th, I slid into keto and then in July became a carnivore. Now, my A1c is almost at 5.0 (5.9), my weight down 70lbs., and I'm so happy to now have you and Jane to help me fine tune my understanding.
I want that cup. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🥰
5 or 5.9 ?? Big difference!!
@@uaebifvideo5472 i agree. It is a big difference. I don't understand your confusion.❓
hahaaa ive been waiting since first part i agree with everything you said about the fitness industry its absolutly clear that we critically need voices like yours im gonna watch this one this evening looking forward to those insights reasoning and explanations thank you so much for all your work my brother
Coffee is perfect for me, too! It has helped me get through intermittent fasting and lose 95 lbs.!
Wonderful, life changing content!! I cannot thank you enough!
When I was a lecturer it was energy drinks. Pupils would come into class in the morning having only consumed an energy drink. Hyperactive for an hour and a half then crash to nothing... couple that with little sleep due to staying up late and it was all but impossible to engage learning.
Kids these days have no resilience. How in the world are they going to function in the workforce without someone to hold their hand?? I dread to think.....
I am not a millilenial basher....but....I have noticed this in the ones I have had the pleasure to supervise. They stop when they hit an obstacle. Makes it hard for them to be self driven in a lot of ways.
Unfortunately, there seem to plenty around who WILL hold their hand... but not necessarily lead them in good way🙏🏻😢
@@769jojo I think it depends on the person, not their age. I'm a millennial who is working, taking online college classes, and raising six kids. I've never met an obstacle I couldn't overcome. Now, I've known many people older than me who were not resilient at all and some younger who are doing very well and are better off than me. It's not fair to judge any group of people because everyone is so different.
I'm finally understanding addiction now and you videos are so helpful. There's always more to learn.
'take your perfectionism'....... :-) I just love this guy....
Thanks for keeping it real & I appreciate your information and approach. 👍😊
Absolutely brilliant! I understand this from the intellectual point of view. Struggling to put this knowledge into practice. Thank you Dr. Cywes!
Love these .. helps me focus and reminds me of what I need to do
Thank you again for your insights. I appreciate it. Our carb addition is a long journey to heal. I embrace it and working to better manage it. The more carnivore I am, the easy it gets
This background was very relaxing, trees etc. Great blog.
That Vaping comment is 100% correct. I actually find vapeing for me also opens up the door for binge eating carbs. I use to reserve this for a Sunday with the rest of the week being clean keto. It worked for 5 years but over the last 3 months i have fallen off the wagon.
You could also add shopping to that list of process addictions.
I have been watching your videos for quite some time now, but this one especially resonated with me. So....how do we develop these new and healthy ways to deal with the emotions we typically 'eat or drink'?? Thank you for all the time and thought that you put into your videos.
Dr Cywes promotes an endorphin management plan: Indulging in activities during the day that you are proud of (BP back pat), establish a fortress of solitude where you can escape your world, do fun activities every day, engage in creative arts, spirituality, physical activity, human connection, objectivify your mistakes OAC-ownership, analysis, correction.

@@gt27312 thanks
@@gt27312 thank you for taking the time to reply.
Thank you...thus one resonates strongly with me.
What a great point about snacking.
BS.... there Doc, i said it for you!!! I think every person who watched your video said it in their head n with a smile at your beautiful sneaky smile! Keep your great videos coming!
🙂
The reason I enjoy fasting. Resets your true hunger signals. You’ll learn to decipher true hunger from everything else.
Dont get between me and my coffee! I felt that and agree.
Sometimes I snack when I am tired or wanting some quick energy. In this hot weather I have found if I just drink water I get the energy and a break. I also snack when I want a break - back hurting or tedious work- possibly could just lie down and close my eyes for a few minutes instead.
Thanx Doc! You help more than you will ever know!
You have change my mind set alot and I thank you so much .you have changed how I deal with emotions and carbs . I have lost quite a lot of weight with your help and from a few other keto diet channels and fitness TH-camrs .
Love you man stay strong and thanks for all your help an facts great coach.
I really appreciate this series of videos Doc! Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
Omg I'm dying laughing. Rottweiler syndrome, I can look back and so relate. Taber's really needs to have that in their dictionary. 😂😁😂
I've had three large dogs who were half Rottweilers, half German Shepherd. And I totally agree. Made me smile thinking of those dogs!
@@thehorseyourodeinon2041 I understand the German Short Hair Pointers are "food motivated" as well. They will take your arm if it's in the way all while not meaning too. Great dogs tho.
The best vid I've ever seen, thank you DR
Absolutely amazing I cant stop watching Dr Cywes every thing he says I can relate to and I also went down that road of a gastric band which I no longer have and I have put on 20kg which I now want to loose. Thankyou for teaching me what to eat and how to eat. Hello from Australia.
How do you fill that hole? I listen to your video and realize I do all three and constantly have to fight against it. I was doing great following Fung's processes and then was in a car accident and broke my back. In fact, I had scheduled an appointment with your dietician and then had to cancel as I was in the hospital, and also with you and then canceled as I was trying to recover from surgery. Feeling lost as I'm still trying to recover and frustrated as the pain doesn't seem to want to go away, and struggling with once again with the entire process of eating, nutrition, and healing. Guess I need to reschedule....
YES!
Hang in there. You can do this!! I shattered 2 vertebrae 4/2019 and have hardware. Still struggled with pain issues but 2/21 I started keto. Pain 1/10 most days. And I supplement with CBD oil several times a week. I’m down 40# and I’m sure that too has helped my poor back not to have the extra weight. I’ve restarted all the exercises PT had given me (PT stopped due to lockdown n I didn’t follow thru much). You will definitely benefit following thru with Jane and Dr Cywes. Best of luck on your journey!!
Carbohydrates, snacks, Rottweilers and cobwebs- sounds like a great title for a book! Important message for me to hear today- thank you!
Once again...THANK YOU!! I'm looking forward to your Eat the Elephant.
The definition of hunger is right on point thanks just the ammo I need to curb my addictions
Here's a comment about your coffee... YUM!!!! That is all thanks for keeping me in line sir. You are super... even if not perfect. Neither is anyone else.
I love that don’t get between me and my coffee that’s what I say!!!!❤️
WOW ! This is awsome !!!
I believe addiction is natural. It's why we have a dopamine reward system to learn and adapt. The problem is really easy accessibility to carbs. Never in the history of evolution have we ever had access to refined carbs and sugars 24x7 like how we do now. But whenever we did come across some honey or fruits we gorged on them like no tomorrow
Harm is not natural. Addiction implies harm.
While I don't disagree with you. But addiction is the body's physiological natural response due to over stimulation of the reward system whether if it results in harm or not. 24x7 accessibility is the real problem I still believe. Isn't that why you intentionally don't keep ice cream and M&M's in the house? If we didn't have easy access to harmful addictive substances then addiction is a non-issue. We are all addicted to something I would think
Shopping addiction, even at thrift stores
Me too! Do you have TK Maxxe in the states?
Especially at thrift stores, because it is such a bargain.
Dollar Tree 🌲
Yes, flea markets, thrift stores, antique shops, tag sales.
Great video and information!
My uncle's solution to a delicious, small portion meal in a hotel was that he ordered it to come till he was stuffed. 😫
Njoy ur coffee💯, thx 4 info👍
I think you just answered the question.
COFFEE at the least You found something that workes for YOU
Being a bridge is a excellent example
..Born to teach..
You speak the truth. Everytime I clean up my diet I feel great til Life happens and I fall back on carbs to feel better and end up in a whirlwind of diet failure and cheats. And gain the weight back. I tried explaining this before to friends and they looked at me like I'm crazy 🤪
Ooooh I was feeling very guilty listening to this video 🙄. I was given a lovely bag of pecan, choc chip cookies for my birthday & I decided to have 2 with my black coffee while I listened to this podcast. I am not overweight but I realize for my health, I need to cut out junk food. Thanks for your advice & tips Dr Cywess 👍
I ❤️ coffee!
Yes, I am sitting with an abundance of food. I waited 19 hours from my last night’s meal to fill up; so, I will enjoy this vid while I consume this wonderful meal. Any idea why hunger goes away as one goes into nutritional ketosis?
Because we all carry an onboard buffet of fat your body can access anytime it needs.
Fat suppresses appetite
@@francisvlatko2834 "an onboard buffet of fat" love it!! ❤️
Right on 😂 don't get between me and my coffee! I think you forgot to mention your psychology degree 😮. This type of common sense can only come from the school of hard knocks!! Thanks so much!!
Thanks for this valuable content
One of the best videos from Dr Cywes
Amen to coffee and diet coke!! Thanks Jennifer 😅
Love my coffee!!
Very good stuff. Thank you sir for your time and your talents. Very good.
I love all your videos. You crack me up! Keep up the great work. Love you Doc!
That is what I have come to love about carnivore for me is that I can now trust my hunger and I only get hungry typically twice a day sometimes only once.
So, I guess I am missing something. What is the answer to the question when do you eat if not when you are hungry? At what point does one decide that they do in fact need to have nutrition or is he simply saying not to eat snacks out of habit. For instance, I have been trying to stop myself from eating right after I get home from work. I normally get home at 5 and have a lot of hunger. I left a couple hours early today from work and experienced the same hunger at 3! I realize that this is habit based and something that needs to be controlled but at what point is it okay to actually eat? Is it when there are no other cues that could be driving your hunger?
Very very very interesting..
Im not obese however, I love your approach
Your words are like music.. will hear you over again
And always.. Thank you endlessly 🙏🖐👍👍👍💝
At 4:13 you said Barak Obama continued to smoke throughout his PREGNANCY! Oh my goodness that was funny!
he said presidency....you got his accent confused
@@Norman_Gunstan1 sorry, I’ve gone back several times and he says pregnancy! By the way I love, love, love his accent and follow him because he’s smart, talks neat and is adorable.
@@laureln56 oh i get it now he was doing it deliberately for a joke :) cool
10:34 love this moment :)
Thank you
Yes I am a carb addict and it is getting the best of me
Thank you for your insights and common sense approach to this v real problem, so many valid points, it made me realize something as minor as a seeing little to no change on the scale gives me permission to eat/drink poorly, get the carb high and start over again in 2-3 days, until my life becomes a version of the movie Groundhog day, thanks again
Ohh my gosh!! Thank you! I’ve been emotionally eating since Jan. Working on emotional intelligence
Holy Cow. This was mind blowing. I totally fall into the rottweiler camp. So amazing to see these new perspectives! Thank you!
