Hi Susan, I just discovered your excellent channel a few days ago and have watched quite a lot of your content. There is so so much great information within and all presented so professionally. You do it all unscripted as well so you're doing one hell of a job there. You have answered many of my own questions about diet and exercise, specifically the question of whether over-indulgence in the kitchen can be negated by over-exercising. This is a false belief that I have clung to with all my might over the years; running, then cycling, swimming and now walking. I've had my struggles with my weight, mostly during my late teens (anorexia) and early twenties but I've been the same healthy weight for my height now for the last 35 years. Walking is my mainstay now and I do that purely for my mental well-being.
I definitely saw an increase in appetite when i started running. The increased calories i consumed where in surplus of the calories i burned with running, so this makes complete sense. I now make small weightlifting sessions at home which help me to feel strong but do not increase my appetite. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, it makes absolute sense❤
As Dr. McDougall says, “ It’s the food!” I exercise 6/7 days a week to stay strong and flexible and to prevent falls since I’m turning 78 soon. Loved this vlog and love your books❣️
I do know of this research, having read about it when it was first released. The piece that I question is whether the tribe was living under restrictive caloric intake on a daily basis in combination with the high activity level. And if they were not in a consistent calorie deficit would the same lowering of daily activity calorie usage have been found. It would be insightful if a comparable study was done with a hypothetical tribe that had a higher consistent intake level. Would the same metabolic adjustments have occurred. Interesting question.
i was thinking the same thing. These people were obviously completely adapted to their situation. I also wonder about intense resistance training. Lean mass is still mass but its way healthier than fat.
Hi there, I’ve understood this exercise versus weight loss is absolute bunkum just because I went through a terrible emotional eating, grief trauma phase but I still swam, ran, jumped and the weight piled on despite the crazy moving. I know that managing food drops weight and the exercise just makes your body feel good. Interestingly for me the extreme eating and movement was just my way of coping with capital T multiple traumas crazy but that’s life, love the vlog.
I really appreciated this Volg, It helped straighten out some of my 'stinkin' thinking' regarding weight loss and exercise. That thinking is a source of guilt producing for me and is the result of years of stalled weight loss programs.
I'm so glad you added some more depth of knowledge to Bright Line Eating system in this blog. In the face of a storm of podcasters saying that increasing strength training and increasing protein intake is way more important for general health and longevity than just losing excess weight, that we are getting the obesity epidemic wrong and that focusing on strength and muscle percentage in our body rather than just trying to lose fat would move your body to craving less food and losing fat and gaining muscle. I used to think you SPT didn't encourage exercise, and recommended primarily (exclusively if exercise was not part of one's routine before embarking on BLE) focusing on breaking the addiction on sugar - instead on this blog your position was clarified and explained the stages at which adding exercise to the mix is not a good idea and that it is overall a good idea, Basically, that BLE gives a solution to break addiction to sugar and to help addicts, everyone can lose weight on the BLE plan, but it is especially helpful to sugar and processed foods addicts.
If we could replace "exercise" with "cardio" I would agree. I still think there is something to be said for strength training because of the hormonal changes it elicits. People with a high amount of musculature can have a significantly higher TDEE compared to low-musculature people of the same weight.
My sweet spot for exercise about 30 minutes. Less than that and I don't get the big mood benefits that feed my desire to exercise. Longer than that, and I feel an increase in appetite that's counterproductive for weight loss. This is true even though part of me loves a long 45-60 minute session mood-wise.
That’s what I thought. Working out more than twice a week just increases my appetite, I think. (Walking not included in that) I square dance a couple of times a week as well and that’s fun!!
Hi there, here's the link to the Jillian Michael's podcast episode that Susan was on: open.spotify.com/episode/0AFp7sD0hTSgGg4rHgxHFx?si=9HLS2NUoSWKl6TlokSPK7g&nd=1&dlsi=2111042abd9447d9 Hope this helps!😃
People in the US are actually no less active than they were in the 1970's, when Americans were much thinner. The foods people eat have been engineered to be addictive, and people have been brainwashed through advertising to think unless they have snacks all the time, something bad will happen.
I would have a question for BLE followers - i saw that if you use nuts as a protein source in your meal you can eat 2oz while as a fat source its 0.5 oz. When i use the nuts as the protein part can you still add a fat source? Thank you in advance❤
Great vlog Susan! I read that book "Burn" and it definitely blew my mind! It annoys me to no end in weight loss transformation videos when all they show is the person working out. Totally misleading and untrue! As we know, it's all about the food!

would love to know what kind of exercises help prevent falls
@@klaralevine1988 any and all exercise that focuses on balance and coordination!
@@klaralevine1988 all kinds that strengthen, like weights, and balance exercises.

Good call. When I ran marathons eating a high carb diet, stuffing myself with as much food as I wanted, I got real thin.

This is one of my favorite vlogs! So good - thank you.
So awesome to hear! Thanks for letting us know 😃🧡

This vlog is AMAZING! I am just starting to learn your process! I have started your book! It is eye opening!! Thank you!!!
We're so glad you're enjoying it! 🧡🧡🧡

Is it possible to provide a link to the interview referenced?

Brilliant as always🙂

Then how was their weight loss successful? Wouldn’t their story be contradicting what Susan is claiming here?
Their weight loss was successful because they HAD to change their eating habits. It was all the food, not the exercise.
Excellent vlog!
😃💖✨
