The Biggest Myths You’ve Been Told About Weight Loss & How To Burn Fat Correctly | Dr. William Li

[@arbiehill68]

One minute in and I have to write this....I am 67 and about 50 pounds overweight, have been almost all of my adult life. It's catching up with me. I have cut out almost all sugar, white stuff, and most snacking/processed foods. Looked in the mirror and came to the hard truth that I am a food addict. OK move forward. Six weeks and I have (only) lost five pounds. Want to throw the scale. Mind f*ck begins self sabotage, etc. Again. I watch these videos for motivation and education. "Even if you lose small amounts of weight you gain large health benefits". Just what I need to remember, every day. I will get there. Thanks.

[@123pickles]

I am in the same boat. 67 years old and overweight. Yesterday I was 'attempting' to mow the lawn and could hardly get back in the house before i collapsed. I am going to start walking the dog every day and see what happens. I have been fasting until noon every day but don't seem to be losing ANY weight. p.s. I noticed you don't have a 'selfie' pic either haha p.s.s. I was convinced my scale was broken so now have 3 broken scales.

[@corinnefogarty7880]

I started doing a 6 hour window on when I can eat. It takes a 'hot moment' to start kicking in, but I am losing weight. The key for me is to cut out sugar. Also eat whole foods - avoid anything that has to have an ingredient list. I'm also using supplements. BTW, when you take the fat out of milk you're leaving behind a lot more sugar. Fat is less of a problem here than sugar is.

I agree with people in the Mediterranean countries eat good, lots of seafood and lots of veg... and definitely some meat... but in my experience there's a very big difference, that you seem to miss. It's fresh. The avocado, olives, the lemon, orange etc has ripened on the tree. An avocado or cherry tomato from my friends garden, makes me feel great. If I buy an avocado (exactly 100g every time!). It comes from Chile or Peru, and makes me sluggish and even give me a rash at times. I think, it's highly important to eat what's local to you, clean and in season! The nutrional value is a game changer! Fish and seafood, the same, we have access to fresh, locally caught fish and shrimps, whatever is in season. Canned fish is mostly used for 'stews'. Fresh or frozen is absolutely preferred.

It does in what sense? Because for one thing, you lose a lot of lean muscle mass once you’re in menopause, which means intermittent fasting might not render enough protein intake depending on how long your eating window is. I can’t get enough protein when I fast for longer than 12 hours.

Until 2 months ago. 😊 I met a regenerative medical Dr. I have followed his plan. Which has been pretty easy, intermittent fasting (which I'd been doing for 6 months any way), eating 2 meals per day (been doing that too), cutting out all dairy, starchy vegetables, nuts, beans, pasta rice, potatoes. Allowing 2 equal servings of lean proteins, and vegetables and max 2 servings fresh fruit daily. Snacks:fresh veggies boiled eggs- are my free food. I rarely feel the need to snack. Minimum 64 oz water. I got to pick one day for a cheat meal to eat whatever I wanted no restrictions, just minding not over eating. To date I have lost over 20 lbs!

Let’s be clear that starving and fasting are two very different things. Starving is bad because it doesn’t allow you to burn stored fat like fasting does. Starving is eating very few calories which doesn’t give much fuel to burn. Fasting is consuming nothing at all for a given time which lowers your insulin so the body changes to burning stored fat.

@@gregackerson5957 modern research doesn’t quite show this. There are benefits from nuts and seeds and veggies for gut microbiome. Also, the sugar in fruit is somewhat set-off by the fibre in them and also we can handle some sugar every day as our stomach and guts can turn up to about 35g of sugar a day into fat without sending it to the liver to overload and damage it. But eating processed sugar filled foods does the opposite and overloads the liver. Also the nuts and seeds, fruit and veg gives us loads of minerals and vitamins so from a nutrition standpoint it’s good to eat them. Meat maybe really good for us too but over farmed, non organic meat is crap for us, loaded with antibiotics and pesticides etc. need clean cut organic grass fed meat. All this makes sense right? For thousands of years humans ate mostly meat IF they could get it but also scavenged and ate fruit nuts seeds and veg! It’s our natural diet…. and probably loads of sea food!!

Can disease prevent weight loss? I am intermittent fasting for about 16 hours for about three weeks now. I am on one of those very restrictive diets, and only eat salad for lunch, and dinner about seven. I walk and sometimes I am losing a pound a day. But other days, I actually gain a pound or even two!! I don’t stress if I don’t lose, but gaining is difficult to swallow. (No pun intended). I’m 75 years young and I want to lose about another 15 to 20 pounds.

[@bethanychos6005]

I forgot to add that I have Chronic Lyme Disease.

[@JIMKATSANIDIS]

@@bethanychos6005 Bethany, Lyme disease can cause weight loss, it can also cause weight gain. These reasons can include: Changes in metabolism. Hormonal fluctuations. Studies have shown that Lyme disease can affect not only body weight, but also metabolism. This can lead to a host of other health problems, including fatigue, depression, and anxiety.👋

[@justiceLaw0123]

⁠​⁠@@bethanychos6005It’s important that you speak with your healthcare provider regarding your weight concerns. There can be many factors contributing to your weight gain. A simple blood analysis can help your practitioner figure the reasons why. I’m a nurse, I cannot give medical advice, but I can help guide you in the right direction.

They have turkey, pepperoni and salami that has no nitrates, no antibiotics, no preservatives, no sugar. It typically just cost a little more but if you read the package and see nothing but real ingredients then it is safe. I hate when people say that you can’t eat deli meats, you can eat food if it is food. Just read the label if it has chemicals then it is not food.

That will be a stretch for me to eat a very small lunch with my larger meal for dinner. I have been eating my larger meal for lunch and a light dinner. Here on the Mediterranean, dinner rarely begins before eight in the evening and that is mostly spent socializing when you are not on your own. The actual eating rarely commences before nine and it is never rushed. There is also the issue of alcohol. My village (population: 700) has 23 wine caves. There are many more in nearby villages. I do allow myself 2-3 glasses of red wine a week. Our village meal are resplendent with carafes of water and juice for those who prefer. Fortunately, when I make up my mind, I am halfway there. If you guessed that I am not French by birth, you would be correct. I started out in southern California and moved here in 2007.

You can do it! It's like I told my daughters. We have the world as our gym. You can do stretches and squats while working on dinner. Just walking around a lot is activity. You can do this.....

[@andrewsingleton2710]

Just a suggestion, It's possible to exercise at home. Stretching, squats, sit ups, lunges, press ups to name a few. It takes 10 mins with no equipment and minimal floor space. Plenty of good apps to choose from that may help 👍

[@rcicca97]

Part of the issue is that when you are working and taking care of your family, most often you are too worn out to think about how to get a workout in as well as what to do for that workout. It's getting passed that part that can prove to be the most difficult. HAVE to start somewhere though.

[@debbiereyes1688]

Diet is not as important as fasting. Same with exercise. Fasting has so many health benefits. There are many videos here on KZbin about how to fast. Dr. Jason Fung has lots of great videos on the subject.

I was never motivated to eliminate sweets and bread when I was younger. Starting at age 73, poor blood results were all the motivation I needed to make big changes-I could see the handwriting on the wall and I really want to live long without real health issues. Fatty liver, sinking eGFR (kidneys), and Haoc of 5.7 (prediabetic) sobered me up fast. 9 months of low-carb, animal based eating has shown improvements but it can be a slow process. I recently added intermittent fasting and I have a new blood draw next week. So we’ll see.

One of my non negotiables/mantras for years was 'I don't need to like it but will eat it if it's good for me'. I repeat that when I'm swallowing down apple cider vinegar, or when I down some turmeric with water. As an adult I just realize I have to eat things I might not like, but can tolerate for a few minutes. But I'm not a 'foodie' and don't have a fancy palate, so I can do that.

[@JoyceMartincream]

Think one of the problems may be, withdrawals from processed foods, sugars, chemicals and whatever else is in the foods that most people have been raised on or eating most of their life. It's like a drug addict trying to just quit cold turkey. There's something going on when trying to lose weight, you are having withdrawals & symptoms of real cravings, and lost of control. Have seen people go through these moments, their demeanor changes, their mean, they want food, just like a heroine addict, but it's Doritos or McDonald's. 😶🧐

[@joyceelmer131]

@joycemartincream. You probably meant processed food , but your typo ,is also correct “possessed food”. LOL😅

[@gabbrielle5241]

Spot on! No one has said this! My sentiment entirely. It’s cravings not hunger when you are someone who eats processed food. One just has to go on a keto diet to understand the difference. I was constantly craving and never satisfied on a so-called normal diet. I got to the stage I hated food due to the weight gain. On keto I lost weight, have no more cravings, (therefore fasting is easy) and I appreciate my food more. You are right high sugar carbs are addictive. I read a great adage once: “you’ll never get enough of what you don’t want” And that’s what it’s like on a processed diet!

[@unixjpn]

Processed foood probably have hidden chemicals to make you hooked hence the addiction so when you quit eating it your gonna go through some withdrawals since your dopamine reward system not getting its usualy dosage. I use to be addicted to Mc Donnalds and had to eat it every day but i been mc McDonald free for over 10 year now!!!! Good by Mc Donnalds I dont eat your heart disease crap.

[@Bluesky-qu8mg]

Not every person needs to “go to the gym “. Your point is movement. Since this discussion is fairly rudimentary, when you (the host) talk about people who have no clue as to where to start, why do you assume that population will “go to the gym”as though that is a necessity. Your point is getting movement, people can get movement in many other ways. Animals don’t go workout at a gym. They simply MOVE. So rather than say “those who haven’t gone to the gym..” as though it’s so bad one doesn’t have a gym membership , you should refer to it as MOVEMENT /ACTIVITY/ WEIGHT BEARING . Walking, jogging, biking, hiking, working , lifting boxes or groceries, in-home stretching, yoga, calisthenics. Many seniors walk the mall doing loops due to weather , walk the beach, take dance lessons, play pickle ball, tennis. We don’t all have to “go to a gym”. And I’m sure Dr Le would agree that being out in nature has a whole other mental benefit. Please don’t make “going to a gym” a prerequisite to good health!

[@Insomnolant1335]

Less words, more working out. Go to the gym.

[@MsOka007]

Most people don't have more than 1 hr in the morning before work, it's doable only for people that work at home, are retired or work in the afternoon. I don't eat meat, hate it, but do take omega 3. Dr. Lee's info is really interesting and wise. I eat s lot but all healthy and never gain weight, on the contrary I have to be careful not to loose too much weight.

I don't believe one style of eating / dieting fits everyone because our bodies are unique. For example, my husband loses weight quicker by exercising and sweating a lot, I lose weight quicker by fasting. I think drinking clean water, eating whole foods, moderate exercise, adequate sleep, and reducing stress are the basic principles that benefit everyone, but within that framework, we have to try different things to see what works. Be encouraged --- you can do it!👍👍 (Also on another channel the doctor recommended drinking a cup of green tea with lemon juice and no sweetener 1 hour before going to bed. Someone responded that they tried it and it worked, that they lost 4 pounds in 8 days.)
