I actually lost 47 pounds in the last 6 months. This video helped me out a lot when it first came out. For the first time in my life, I am no longer overweight! Thank you so much Adam!

[@anti1training]

flyingboat yo, so what was the smart way you lost weight?

[@Vekhayn]

well if you count calories and eat under a certain calorie limit everyday you will lose weight its physics, but making the lifestyle change to eat less sugar and eat a more balanced diet that will keep you more full and feel better will help you lose weight without doing complicated calorie counting. namely because lots of products with high sugar are super high calorie and you'll feel hungry after

It isn't though. You can always check the ingredients list, but if you want to be completely safe go for things without an ingredients list. Pick some fresh vegetables, meat and dried grains/legumes and you can easily have a sugar free diet. Nuts and low sugar fruit for snacks.

In the last year after watching this, I lost 100 lbs. It has helped immensely. Especially because I actually feel like I've eaten something after a fat heavy meal with a largely carb based starter for fiber. I now eat eggs in toast every morning because it turns out to be healthy and is one of my favorite childhood memories. Well, not healthy to get all of it from fat, but not cutting out fat basically.

[@Praisethesunson]

I have to make my own bread because all American bread has added sugar

[@Dragonheat13]

Something he forgot to tell you. He forgot that the term "low-fat" used on labels really means the product is lower in fat than the original product or comparable products. This means a product labeled as "low-fat" may not really be low-fat. Some low-fat products are only 2-3 grams of fat less than their counterparts, plus as Adam said they add either more sugar or more salt to make up for the lost flavor. A better option is to eat foods, that are naturally low-fat such as fruits and vegetable and eat foods with "good fats."

That's why they are healthier. everyone else isn't healthier because they are literally EVERYONE ELSE. the rest of the population, some care about their health, some don't. the bottom line is fat isn't bad for you and same thing with meat. in fact, it's good for you and taste damn good as well

[@Jake-vw3bj]

Fat doesn’t directly make you fat, but it is the most calorie dense macronutrient (having more than double the calories of protein and carbs) eating more calories than your body’s needed amount results in them being stored as body fat. That’s not to say sugar is any better, which can still make you fat and has a plethora of bad health effects. To diet, you don’t necessarily have to cut out fat or sugar, but you need to find a balance that is sustainable and meets your goals.

[@taleseylad1249]

fat is way better. . . you literally need fat to stay alive

[@Acts-1322]

Jake I think you would benefit from lectures by endocrinologist Dr Robert Lustig. Sure, energy balance for weight loss is one thing, but ingesting fructose- a slow mitochondrial poison that also fattens your liver is not worth any weight loss for vanity sake

[@late_apexx]

Sugar is highly addictive. Not many people at all are capable of this "balance" you speak of or as others like to say , "in moderation". Might as well do yourself a favor and just not have it

[@jimmyr545]

​@@taleseylad1249fats are a broader category than table sugar (sucrose). Sugar is a type of carb and you need some amount of carbs also. You could think of cutting sugar (possibly the worst carb) as analogous to cutting trans fats (possibly the worst fat).

[@DeathnoteBB]

[@Croz89]

The problem with this segment is it might get some people to just swap their dogma around. Fat bad, carbs good becomes Fat good, carbs bad. True, free sugar consumption has increased a lot in the last century or so but complex carb consumption (which is still sugar in the end, albeit a drip feed rather than a big lump at once) has formed a large proportion of energy intake since the development of agriculture. Keto works for some people who diet, but not for others, and it is not without the risk of both short and long term health effects, some of which we may not know about.

[@jonathandpg6115]

They do but require work, cutting out fat isn't necessary if you're also cutting out sugar and carbs. You're made up of lots of fat, your brain is estimated to be made of 60% saturated fats so cutting fat doesn't seem conducive to a healthy diet. Carbs on the other hand are stored as a glycogen which is a quick fix energy boost that causes increased appetite when it runs low. Even if you fat ready to go to work for you the burning of the stored glycogen doesn't crave just any energy, it craves more glycogen aka carbs. Pretty vicious cycle to break when literally every food is LOADED with carbs because the industry KNOWS it's addictive and that the body craves it constantly since it burns so fast.

Corn syrup sugar... HFCS was widely embraced by food formulators, and its use grew between the mid-1970s and mid-1990s, principally as a replacement for sucrose. This was primarily because of its sweetness comparable with that of sucrose, improved stability and functionality, and ease of use.

Calories in, calories out. Low fat variations when possible is just another tool like no sugar variations in order to limit calorie density in food allowing you to feel fuller on a calorie deficit. Yes, we need fat but there's no problem getting enough of it if you include some fatty fish, avocado, nuts and olive oil in your diet. There's no need to go for full fat cheese on top of that when those products have low fat variations, picking the low fat version will also limit saturated fat intake which I'd rather get from a steak once in a while. Also, cut added sugar completely, you don't have to choose either or, limit fat and remove added sugar.

[@surrelljr]

Since I have been trying to cut out sugar, I’ve found out how much is contained in a lot of foods. The market is saturated so there’s not a lot of options, so rather than surrender I actively seek out healthy foods or create my own. Some drug and alcohol rehab centers also prohibit their clients from sugar and they really go into withdrawal. They go to meetings in town and I’ve seen them guzzling one soda pop and eating one candy bar after another. Not only has been forced on us it’s also highly addicting, like tobacco and alcohol.

The USDA "coming against fat" being followed by "obesity skyrocketing" is a correlation that does not imply causation. You got to show that people indeed reduced significantly their fat consumption, and no other factor.

[@feelgoodinc4494]

Well, one thing is for certain: the food we've eaten over the past 70 years contains a hell of a lot more sugar than anytime before. Sugar used to be something that only the wealthy could afford, and now it's in almost everything we eat.

[@maximuffin6395]

If the USDA went against sugar and not fat, there's your causation

[@trenvert123]

Did the air suddenly contain more fat? The people in America only have so many sources of food that the general public uses, so it's easy to show that American food has decreased in fat content and increased in sugar content. The USDA controlling what foods can be brought to market, also reduces the likelihood of there being many other factors involved. There could be other factors contributing to it, but their effects are likely minimal, and not relevant.

[@jimmyr545]

You can get fat from excessive carbs (which includes sugar) or excessive fats. Studies show you can lose weight by significantly cutting either one. Or you can keep both in moderation and stick to healier carbs and healthier fats.

They probably called the doctor who claimed sugar was the problem a conspiracy theorist.

[@brycewalat5321]

I’ve lost the most weight when I reduced sugar, not fat.

[@lilyfitzgerald8971]

Even though I am not overweight this was INCREDIBLY interesting to learn about and I'm really happy to be educated on this subject

[@lauraellendaulton]

"i dont feel so good" 😂😂

[@Daveliuhk]

the sugar here means processed added sugar; the sugar in carrots is good for you, but once you extract it from the carrots and concentrate it, it is very very bad for your liver

[@Charizard100000357]

Fat is actually very calorie dense (ex: anything deep fried) but sugar (in excess) is bad for you either way

[@bathwater3196]

Fat is not even twice as calorie dense as protein or carbohydrates, it is a negligible impact.

[@EarnestBunbury]

Sugar is also the primary fuel for cancer cells and is beneficial to the growth of tumors.

[@kinggator8231]

Guys, all that weight loss comes down to is calories in vs calories out. If low-fat foods have fewer calories and you don't overeat them to maintain a caloric deficit, you'll lose weight.

[@Dudeman587]

As in the video if you eat more sugar than your liver can process it’s stored as fat so that’s the most common way of weight gain

[@kinggator8231]

@AntiCap Atheist calorie intake doesn't necessarily match hunger. Hunger is moreso how full you feel and hormonal balance.

[@jakevader93]

Cut out all added sugar. Moderate your intake of natural sugars. It’s that easy!

[@camelat7228]

always confused me how the keto diet - which is low, if not completely lacking in, carbs, and high in fats - was supposed to make you shed pound after pound in a matter of weeks. not so surprising anymore

[@robertoacevedo3805]

A year ago I cut out Alcohol, caffeine, anything coffee, drastically lowered my sugar consumption. I lost 15 lbs. and have kept it off. My vitals are healthier now. This video isn't lying.

[@gistutorialsand5815]

Because you lowering sugar you lowered your calories

[@Molosander]

Is anyone going to bring up healthy fat vs non-healthy fat? Saturated vs Trans? Anyone? No? Okay.

[@David22092001]

no such thing as healthy fat, if youre fat that implies you weight too much meaning there are side-effects because of your weight

[@Molosander]

David22092001 I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you misunderstood me. I'm taking about the fat in foods, not human fat. There are healthy fats in meat and nuts but unhealthy fats that are generated by chemicals or unhealthy products.

[@David22092001]

oh woops thought you meant fat as in overweight, my bad

[@Molosander]

David22092001 all good! Like I said I was assuming that :p

[@yummychips_]

they do go over it a little bit in another episode, I can;t remember which tho

[@captainweekend5276]

3:41 "Mr Stark, I don't feel so good..."

[@ilovekitties1993]

3:40 NOOOO I JUST GOT OVER INFINITY WAR

[@Agos226]

Reminds me of the episode of Seinfeld where everybody’s going to this new fat-free frozen yogurt spot and then are surprised that they’re actually gaining more weight

[@austinryder2622]

Adam predicted infinity war

[@lawaern3474]

That last joke should have been "et tu Snaccus"

[@parke6704]

Actually, you’re kinda wrong. 1 gram of fat contains 9 calories and 1 gram of sugar contains 4. Fat or sugar don’t make you fat, too many calories does and fat contains more calories.

[@coreysuffield]

fat does not cause blood sugar levels to spike, causing the release of insulin, causing the body to store the excess energy in fat cells.

[@gistutorialsand5815]

Exactly

[@ianday3276]

I was crippled with diabetic neuropathy 12 years ago. I stopped eating carbs& sugar - I was free from pain & back on the tennis court in THREE months. I still play tennis at club standard at 81 - and make no apologies for my age.

[@nfsusna]

Wow. Just wow. I eat a entirely starch based diet. And lost both weight and medicine

[@LucidDreamer54321]

As Weird Al Yankovic would say, “You know I'm fat (fat). I'm fat, come on (really really fat).”

[@mustardman2974]

Fat is the most calorically dense nutrient, by almost two fold or more in some estimates. It is true that added sugar increases the caloric density of food, but added fat has the potential to add much more calories by basic arithmetic. Also, saturated fat is directly related to heart disease this is just basic scientific fact at this point.

[@mr123undead]

Sugar/carb spike your insulin, and fat won't

[@blackpowderkun]

Calories isn't bad as long as you burn it right?

[@CharlesRaines4946]

But when it comes to such lousy weight loss products like vlcd formula, how are they legal? I have tried vlcd formula shakes for years and I have failed to keep the weight off and every time I have blamed myself for it. Until I asked my dietician and he told me that unless someone is planning to live of that vlcd formula gruel for the rest of their lives they will gain weight again when they start eating solid foods. But does that mean that the companies that are making vlcd's have hired lousy scientists or have bribed the cdc to convince everyone that vlcd's work? Especially since you can buy vlcd's in both the supermarket and in the local pharmacy in my country, or does that just mean that a dietary supplement isn't considered as a healthcare product?

[@DanielXFLi]

So it's not low-fat foods that are making you fatter, but rather sugar is making you fatter. Should probably change that misleading title?

[@mattnaka6437]

3:41 I don’t feel so good mr stark

No reason to tell the world what you have.

That Ancel Keys impersonator looks more like comrade Dyatlov from Chernobyl.

[@wolfiestfamily495]

This is sponsored by big fat companys.

[@koffinkiss]

But still, it's not sugar that makes you gain weight, it's excessive calories. You can have your diet be mostly or entirely sugar but as long as you're in a calorie deficit, you'll lose weight.
