Dr. Lucy Burns - 'The Hormonal Approach To Treating Obesity'

[@theroguetomato5362]

My personal experience: I tried Nutrisystem, and lost a lot of weight, but due to all the carbs (even in the diabetes meals), I was ALWAYS hungry. A minute after breakfast, I was watching the clock to see when I could eat a snack, and so on. Now I'm on a Keto diet. I'm losing weight and I'm almost NEVER hungry.

[@Snugel]

How long have you been doing the Keto diet?

[@barry4499]

!00% - you were talking about me !! I'm 64yo male, High insulin, poor diet and obese. Tried the low calorie low fat diets for 40 plus year and I'm still obese. As described, once you had the right dietary guidance my "wood shed" was opened for the first time. 18 weeks later 19 kg gone, HbA1c 5.1, feeling awesome. I feel like I've taken 10 years off. Every doctor needs to get on the front foot with this advice. It's taken me 64 years to get good advice - I shouldn't have had to wait that long !!

[@jenrich111]

Brilliant Dr Burns! Thanks for practising intelligent medicine. I stopped carbs, got fat-adapted and now feel much more empowered and stable. I dont hunger for carbs. I measure my ketones.

Calories will determine whether or not one loses weight. Hormones respond to food quantity and quality. Calories are a good proxy for quantity.

[@TedVanSlyck]

@@general_electrics In the end, calories net out to weight loss or gain. Hormones, which are highly controlled by the type of calorie and frequency of eating, strongly determine the "calories out" side of the equation.

Brilliant! I am currently on the journey of low carbs, intermittent fasting and exercise after a diagnosis of diabetes in Dec last year. I have done my own research and I'm still learning but I am losing weight, my blood sugar is lower and I am gaining energy. I'm not hungry all the time now either. I am so grateful to my friend Carol for sharing this video with me. So good to know there are Australian doctors who really understand the issues. Thank you so much for your message of hope to all who struggle with insulin resistance.

Really impressed with your approach Dr Lucy. As a Nutritionist with 15 years expertise in Alcohol and Drug Addiction (habitual patterns) I can not thank you enough for your clear expression around the love in comfort of food. It is a sensible, affordable and achievable goal I will adopt in my own work. Bless you thank you ❤🌻💜

[@AnimaLibera]

What adds to the problem of a diet that's high in carbs are the "oh-so-healthy" seed oils. The sugar-plus-seed-oil combo is a surefire way to get sick, fat, tired and depressed. Bon appétit!

[@willdutt]

Anima Libera best to use real butter than canola oil and other fake butters. Using lard/shortening for cooking instead of the trusty high temp vegetable oil will help on the micro level of our cells over consuming energy when it should others slow down.

keto + selenium + zinc - allergic foods (in my case milk protein allergy, very difficult to find out) ==> weight loss + beast mode two meals per day, including liver at least once a week. (chicken liver + chicken hearts + red curry paste + coconut milk)

I wish there were nice, well-informed, and empathetic doctors like this in my neck of the woods. The last doctor I saw - only because I was desperate to lower my bp - gave me a lecture on how many candy bars and sodas I needed to cut out daily to lose weight. Useless info since I haven't had a candy bar or sweet soda pop in years. I didn't go back to him. I threw away the bp pills he gave me and am muddling through dealing with my bp on my own.

[@jamesalles139]

thank YOU very much! A good bit of information: don't start intermittent fasting until adapted to fat-burning, it takes time to build the mitochondria 'factories'

[@anonmouse956]

I'm glad she mentioned CORTISOL, I think that is the most overlooked factor in this area of interest on youtube. We have large individual variations in cortisol and that affects things related to low carbing and fasting as those increase cortisol.

[@Mark-Ozi]

Great video, very informative and easily understood there is a lot to be said for plain, simple english

[@general_electrics]

When people speak about nutrition as though they know what they're talking about, you must realize that they don't actually know much at all. We have so many conflicting, debating, arguing doctors who each prescribe different menus. There's no consensus because the science is so difficult.

[@newplanman9836]

Intriguing. Is there any information from your organization on what the carb type and amount of carb used in the DFT is. And is that carb provided based on the subject's weight? Also was the study run using the patient's avaerage daily meal or meal/substance designed by the study?

[@CrumbleLives]

Calories in vs Calories out is more about Thermodynamics than Biology,... Calories are a measurement of Heat.

[@stefanweilhartner4415]

it is the other way around. you need the knowledge about biology to make the thermodynamics work in your favor. only lowering calorie intake messes up the system and the resting metabolic rate also goes down because of missing nutrients. this can only be fixed if you know what kind of nutrients you need to keep the metabolic rate up and only leave out the food that only contains energy and not much nutrients.

[@rawmilkmike]

Remember you weight has nothing to do with your health. A naturally thin person can be just as unhealthy. A person can be healthy at every size. Low carb is what's important whether you lose weight or not. Calorie counting is counterproductive. Many women would have been just fine if they had not gotten the mistaken idea they were overweight in the first place.

Hormones METABOLISM obesity how are interlinked

[@eliseville]

Beautiful presentation of the hormonal dysregulation that ALWAYS accompanies metabolic disorders. But . . . Our most basic SunGod HORMONE D, from long before (bacterial billions?) the others joined the team, is the original problem! We easily, obliviously let it fall below our evolutionary optimal level (~50ng/ml or 125nmol/L?) from higher latitude Winter, typically (insufficiently!) supplemented pregnancy, a busy schedule or video game addiction, staying indoors/wearing sunscreen & myriads of other causes in modern societies at any latitude? That is when our now unprotected microbiome falls apart, our reparative N-REM DeepSleep fails and all our other hormones lose their natural homeostasis in all the worst directions. Please research the initiating effects of sub-optimal D levels! Bad diet alone does not cause spiking insulin when great D levels are on board managing all our other hormonal effects that control our behaviors .🙏🏽 I am a study of TWO! Twice (10 & 35) my great D crashed suddenly, accompanied by major chronic high cortisol. Both times I became fat/obese & depressed. The second led to prediabetes before I finally was tested at 6ng/ml. I began supplementing pre-Covid, finally raised my D high, then began my miraculous lifesaving Keto/IF journey back to health🎉

[@itzakpoelzig330]

Good for you, taking your health into your own hands!

[@kaydenl6836]

The Minnesota experiment is not an accurate representation of dieting. The average person is not a very fit, grown man with muscle who has little to no bodyfat to lose and suddenly gets their calories halved. The average person has plenty of excess fat and won’t halve their MAINTENANCE FOR MUSCLE. Low carb and/or keto make weight loss EAISER, but it still is ultimately energy in vs energy out. Manipulation of how much energy you take it or how much you put out doesn’t change that. Those men still lost weight, they just had negative effects because it was extreme and made them underweight

[@Chris-kr7gg]

You do realise once a person loses functioning in the body for instance.etabic disorder, energy is t created or used in the same way.

[@digilyd]

Testosterone is a major weight loss hormone for both sexes, why is it on the the "side players" slide?

[@bigbrooklyn]

Im 61 yr old male on TRT and cant gain fat weight if i tried. Test is a must in older men and woman. Ive put lady friends on low dose test, low androgenic orals and the weight fell off and they gained lean muscle mass..the benefits out way the risk.

[@bobandmaryw4336]

on the slide she showed but not a positive word on Intermittent fast or One Meal A Day (OMAD)....Humans for centuries did not eat 3 squares a day! Along with hormones let's at least talk about the possibility that people are just eating too many times and eating too much.... It's not like the obese have no access to food, eh? Sorry disagree with you on intermittent fasting. At this point i'll just choose to remain stupidly carnivorous OMAD and eat fat and scrounge a few veggies. Thanks for the talk, yep not a word about how not eating helps insulin resistance and allows the body to cannibalize fat. Seems to me that'd be hormonal. But, whatta I know, I'm just a hillbilly.

[@Photologistic]

bobandmaryw - I didn’t get that, but rather that she feels it’s to hard to fast right after jumping off the carb roller coaster. I think she’s correct there.

This is the same thing repeated for the umpteenth time. I was expecting some actual intellectual insight into the metabolism & hormones spectrum. What she's saying is true for a majority of people however it doesn't explain the disease/phenomena or it's cause. Not every obese individual has improper insulin dynamics. And if they do, the sophisticated interplay between glucagon, enteroglucagon, cortisol, cholecystokinin, vasoactive intestinal peptide, & the cholinergic/adrenergic systems have a domineering effect on glycemic control. Carbs are a simple macronutrient that have been abundant in our diets. It's true if you can't tolerate them, avoiding them will certainly improve your condition. But they are definitely not running around causing diabetes.

[@macknumber9]

Stop complaining. And carbs are not micronutrients idiot they are a macronutrient.

[@Eudaimonia239]

For me is overconsumption of refined carbs plus omega 6 oils. But it helps eliminating all carbs for a while and then reintroduce them later for metabolically damaged people(which are the majority of the people now btw ). And it works for them which is all that matters, most have tried the orthodox advice with poor results.. THATS all that matters to me at the end: results. waiting for the science to catch up especially when is all chasing the same old same old story with same lackluster results wont help.

[@zambrocca]

So what would be the main cause of diabetes?

[@yoso585]

zambrocca Processed foods and lack of exercise, the type of exercise that people used to get when walking to work and back, and the exercise that they got at work. Now many sit on there butts to, at, and from work to sit on butt at home at night snacking on processed foods. That’s the way I see it.

[@barry4499]

It's easy to condemn - what's your theory ? BTW I've just been saved from a live of diabetes by following dr Burn's advice. IMO - she nailed it (from a case study)
