Is a myth. It’s all about the types of food a nd their hormonal impact.

Evidence that refutes it has been accumulating for several decades. It's time to change the advice given to people about eating and dieting and maybe offer some real hope to people who struggle constantly just to keep from gaining even more weight.

Weight gain and poor health are a function of FAT

Frequency = every time you eat insulin and fat storage goes up…don’t do frequent mini meals, avoid snacking, occasional fasting is great
Amount = don’t over eat
Type of food = avoid carbs

I’m keto, but considering carnivore. Protein is highly satiating and (grass fed) meat is nutrient dense.

ATKINS!

HA

mediterranean?

but I move a lot, walk, exercise, etc

I think that's why they referred to white potatoes.

milk, SARA LEE FROSTING, sorry lost control for a second there.

I am known to buy a slew of cupcakes and only eat the frosting....I kid you not. Bad!

I initially tried to lose weight by running long distance 5 times a week and lifting weights 4 times weekly. I lost a little but it wasn’t until I changed my diet and ate less and healthier that I was able to lose a substantial amount. Of course now I’m back to being obese and am struggling to get motivated to lose the pounds. I like food too much.

get yourself on www.fitday.com

put in EVERYTHING you eat, daily......eat whatever you want, but don't go over a certain amount of calories (research to find out what a good amount is for you to lose weight slowly but steadily)

fuck diets, they don't work in the long run - do you really want to go the rest of your life not eating potatoes? ridiculous

when you record what you eat, you may find that you wish you'd eaten something more nutritious and filling than that big hunk of cake, for example.....it will make you more aware of where you calories are coming from

Who's gonna tell Bill Maher?

on the gym industry.

Seriously, I owned a small neighborhood a few years ago. I had a very regular clientele. Mostly middle aged people. Same people almost every day. I don't think I ever saw one person lose any weight at all, except for one elderly lady who had become a vegetarian.

And may cause the body to be more efficient, thus it would take more effort to burn fat.

I'm not an expert, I only bought the gym to fix it up and flip it. But I think at a certain age you are not doing your joints any good by running five miles on a treadmill every day. You are just making yourself a candidate for a knee and/or hip replacement. Cardio wise, I tend to agree with you more.

often.

Swimming would be best.

physical changes is just a symptom

Always have the patients talk to a psychiatrist.

The desire to eat is highly regulated by the body.

Yes, some people eat to feel better psychologically, but this also involves a physiological response.

I had just watched a video on 18 weight loss myths debunked by dieticians.

I've bookmarked this article for future reference.

Called "Always Hungry". He explains how insulin and carbs act together to make you hungry and store more fat.

Think about it. If it's simply calories in, calories out, why do fat people get hungry at all? They have all that fat their bodies can eat. Why would they not just use their excess fat then get hungry? But no, despite large amounts of fat, people get really hungry and are driven to eat and store more fat.

The thing with low carb diets is it is more likely to use your own fat and less likely to make you hungry. It's not a magic bullet but it can help a lot.

We kept it pretty simple and helped 1000s lose body fat. Helped them modify their nutrition and monitor it, moderate cardiovascular activity 3-4 times per week, a good dose of resistance training tailored to each person.

In 22 years I do not remember but a handful who did not lose significant body fat with our simple approach.

That's an important of it.

I lost 50 pounds easily eating a keto diet for a year - basically cutting sugar and flour and only small portions of starchy veg.

The interesting part I discovered using the carb manager app that eating 400 calories of pasta would make me feel bloated and ready for a nap, but I could put away a 900 calorie breakfast of bacon and eggs that did not fill me uncomfortably and didn't knock me into a carb coma.

I was totally carb addicted for the longest time, and now at age 50 I feel great. I'm not "skinny" but I can tie my shoes without straining, I snore less, and when I do occasionally eat something with some carbs I find I can't put away potatoes or pasta like I used to. Several bites is enough and quickly becomes unappealing like my body recognizes I don't need it.

I'm less strict on keto now - I will occasionally splurge on an apple or an orange (which now taste like delicious candy since I don't regularly have sugar) or I will eat a mini-bag of popcorn which has about 20 net carbs in a day.

The other thing that made keto much easier is the recent wider availability of zero-carb bread and other products in the grocery store. That was a godsend because one of the logistical problems eating low carb is you can't just throw together a sandwich quickly and that kind of solved the quick meal problem.

Weight gain with all the right foods is still possible if you eat too much. Calorie counting is not out the window.

But the insulin-carb model is very useful. Eat the right carbs, in the right proportion to lean proteins and vegetable and fruits is the way to go.

Carbs and junk food and additives and sugars cause inflammation. Wish I could find the YouTube video of a Dr who said she owned an obesity clinic. She called the carbs and sugars a slow poisoning.

says processed meats are the villian, but she's mainly adressing blood pressure and cholesterol, which are my two problem areas. I have cut back on them and have lost about 15 lbs. At my next physical next month I'm going to discuss reducing the dosage on those meds. One at a time, probably.

No high glycemic carbs; and a balance between protein,
carbs, and fat at every meal.

I also follow the blood type diet.

My weight is perfect for my age, with no underlying
problems.

Keto completely changed my relationship to food. Before Keto, I would aim for 1300 calories a day - basically 2 meals, and my weight never budged. The carb cravings were killer. Switched to Keto. I eat until I am full. I no longer have to skip one meal a day to manage calories. I have nearly zero cravings. I've finally hit my weight-loss target and my cholesterol has improved. And, according to my last check-up, I have successfully managed to slow down the diabetes train. Maybe with another year on Keto, I can stop it all together.

There is so much more to weight than calories in/calories out. That has always been ever-so-much bullshit.

I’m obese and I eat a lot of high fat, high carb food. I know if I cut back the calories that I would lose weight because I’ve done it before.
