I purchased "Build " last summer and I incorporate compound lifting as well. My body is beginning to change and most people think that I have lost more weight. But I haven't.

I lost 66 pounds in a two-year span and exercised to the point I now have defined abs and look and feel like never before. What I discovered is that “Diet” or going on one is usually something we do temporarily. What worked for me was to gradually change my eating habits to the point where I now have total control over what I eat, but I don’t suffer while doing so. I eat pretty much anything, but I make sure to watch out for the amount on which I eat any type of food. The moment you forbid yourself from eating something in particular you’ve failed without even begining. At least that was what worked for me. Still going strong 💪🏻!

If we just all learned to listen to our bodies and work with them, rather then against them - eat when hungry and stop when full- we would not need all these crazy diets But we eat for so many reasons, aside from hunger- sadness, loneliness, boredom... and then when we are actually really hungry, we deprive ourselves I was anorexic for almost two decades and know how challenging food, hunger and listening to your body can be. However I am so grateful I learned to finally trust my body and to look at food as what it is - nourishment, nothing more, nothing less.

I am not sure how much of an active life you lead, but that is always the key thing to lose weight. It is very challenging to juggle a job or other responsibilities with staying active, but if you find a way, that would be good. Personally, I don’t believe 1.5 hours are enough per day if the person is leading a sedentary lifestyle. And there’s a difference between running errands at a leisure pace vs. power walks. (You probably know all of this, but I don’t know what your actual situation is).

As an obese person who has done several diets over the last decade (including when I was a healthy weight and didn't need to), I've experienced weight rebounds first hand. As I got more familiar with the science (via my biology degree) it started to feel like there was no avenue for me to reduce my weight and improve my health sustainably without it all eventually getting worse than when I started.

[@kellylau6318]

Thanks Natacha. I love your videos. Content that's real. I've followed you for so long and it has taken me a long time, lots of research and learning from lots of people and using myself as a Guinea pig to accept all these challenges I went on to lose weight quick only ended up in putting the weight back on. Restriction and low calorie diets sabotaged my performance at training and made me obsess about food cause I was so hungry. Adding in a cheat day a week just made me binge and eat like I'd never seen food before and to consume everything I could cause I know I couldn't touch any of these foods again till the next cheat day. Anyways, I'm 41 now and finally I have kicked dieting goodbye. It is not a word I use. I now focus on eating nutrient dense foods that fuel me and i don't count calories or track macros or eliminate food groups and if I'm hungry i eat and when I'm full I stop. Finally over 8 mths of this I have noticed now when I bought a bag of chips the other day I had a handful and didnt want anymore. I ordered a dessert and shared it and didn't finish my half cause I was satisfied. Pretty much half my whole life I've starved and calorie restricted and if I got my hands on a bag of chips on a cheat day I'd easily polish of 1 to 2 bags and then polish off 3 desserts. I would never be satisfied and I'd lie awake at night thinking about food. It was such a great feeling that my body and mind could tell me it had enough. I don't need to binge cause if I want a snack tomorow I allow myself. My training has improved. Strength improved but most importantly my relationship with food has improved. This one was the hardest and also accepting the body I have been given and loving the healthiest and strongest version of myself. Lots of love to you 😘♥️

I’m a pharmacist from the US and I can confidently say you are way more knowledgeable about this than the vast majority of doctors even. I genuinely learned so much, especially regarding the many mechanisms that suppress outer metabolism as we lose weight and calorie restrict. This synthesizes well with some information for low carb advocates regarding the incompleteness of calorie restriction alone but I believe the benefits from the keto diet could be better achieved by simply targeting low glycemic index food, helping to curb hunger and introducing more fiber into the diet.

I'm so glad there are videos like that on the internet. Knowledge is power. I've been overweight or borderline obese for most of my life, I tried to change it but the motivation on a diet that deprives you very rapidly of most your calorie intake disappears very quickly. I was lucky that during my studies (pharmacy) I had a bromatology course. Once I understood the science behind the food and our physical response to it, as well the benefits of achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight everything changed. It's so much easier to stay on track when you can set realistic expectations for your body. There's still a lot of work before me but glad to take my time and slowly improve my health. Just for me.

[@jaydem5545]

Thank you so much for everything you do Natacha, your positive impact must be immeasurable. I'm trying to fix my toxic relationship with food after years of extreme calorie restriction and binging. In the first part of your video you discuss the impact of reduced calories even after you go back to a higher calories such as sensitive to stress... I know this is very general but do you have any ideas about how long it could take to reverse these effects?

[@mangomak1342]

I appreciate the very needed amount of scientific evidence this provides. Thanks so much Natasha!

[@user-gj3kp8tt1d]

As a 22 yr old female who is pursuing her masters in the sciences and has grown up with eating disorders, I really respect and appreciate the videos you put out and i'm sure i'm not the only one!

[@EmbodyYourDivinity]

thank you for doing what you do! I wish I had someone like you informing me back when I was a health and fitness expert with a full blown eating disorder. I was doing "healthy" all wrong.

[@ebeoep2639]

This is so true in my experience. I was very obese and sick because of it. So my doctor had me go on a very low calorie diet. I dropped 40 pounds really fast but I was tired all the time. We moved my calories up to 1200 a day from 400 and I plateaued for an entire two months! In the meantime I had taken up lifting because I noticed I was feeling more energetic. I found I really liked powerlifting! I started working with a coach and they tried to convince me over and over that I would not progress with that extreme calorie deficit and that I was leaving myself vulnerable to injury. Well I got injured! LOL. I ended up getting depressed and deciding i would just eat whatever but still healthy while I was recovering. Just take a break from lifting and tracking food... and I started losing weight again. Slowly but it was happening. I got back into the gym but changed from a powerlifting program to more of a bodybuilding one. I started running for fun because I just felt so good and had so much energy. My mood was improving. I started tracking again but without having a limit, just to make sure I was getting enough protein and carbs. I found I was naturally eating between 1800-2400 calories a day. I have been steadily losing a pound every other week. Without even thinking about it. It's so cool! Even cooler than that though is that I've starved myself down to much lighter weights than I am now and I looked worse. I'm probably more lean right now than I've ever been in my life, and I'm a full 20 pounds heavier than I was at my lightest. I even fit into smaller clothes. I have binge eating disorder and dieting really really contributed to it. But now I don't restrict food at all and I finally feel like I'm free from it. I only think about food if I'm hungry or grocery shopping. It's so worth it to let go of rapid weight loss and just nourish your body. I promise you will feel so good!

[@skippydelicious]

This was such a great video 😭 I feel so much more empowered in my wellness journey to just get educated

[@fitforfreelance]

that's the best feeling

[@RosanaPetkova]

You have no idea how much I needed this today!!! I have been struggling with an ED that has been on and off since 2012. It's been 8 years, some of them I spent being underweight and doing an excessive amount of exercise, but most of them I was doing nothing and was a bit too chubby to be fully happy. I recently lost a bit of weight and now I'm trying to remain this way without going up, my mind is constantly bugging me with thoughts of fasting or restricting after a bad day. And I was just having such a bad day today. I am happy I found you, I have never related to vloggers who had EDs in the past as much as you.

[@alaraaydn9889]

I love the way you explain everything with their scientific explanations. That thing makes me aware of myself and give the motivation to make everyone more healthy.

[@vibes3626]

Came here from Doctor Greg. You're a really smart fox!

[@orangecrush69420]

I'm re-watching this after the beginning of your 5/3/22 video and really feel like I'm finally absorbing all this good information. Science rules! Thank you for making these 'science explained' videos.

[@IrinasLife.]

That thumbnail is too relatable! Already love this video!

[@natachaoceane]

ahh thank you Irina!! All my love sweetie xxx

[@cjeishsjsisjnsjjsn4352]

Hi! I really love your videos! I watch many KZbinrs and creators who are into health and wellness. Many of them though project a bad message and undereat. being a teen who has gone through an eating disorder and bad body image your videos make me feel good and you put so much effort in your videos and is actually backed by science. I love your videos and your my favorite KZbind!!!

[@HeyItsBonnieBee]

I absolutely love how you built up this video, so informative! Honestly, I never understood why I keep going back to binges after eating healthy for a couple of weeks but now everything makes sense.. Seems I need to make some changes in my nutrition to make sure I can stay consistent!

[@swimmertori]

I have never commented on a video before but omg I started your BUILD program about 2.5 months ago (2 weeks left of it) & your programs and informational videos have changed my life. I have never understood nutrition and fitness until now recently because of you, as I was subject to all of the fad diets you discuss. I seriously cannot say enough great things about you, thank you so much for all you do to change the health/fitness community! ❤️

[@user-gj3kp8tt1d]

14:49 Replayed this a few times, just makes me think about my poor teenage self failing at starving myself.

[@EspadaShi]

You be reading my mind with recent videos. So excited to watch this with my dinner. I hope you will do some challenge videos again some time soon, really missing more "day in the life" kind of stuff as well!

[@natachaoceane]

you're in luck sweetie! Something's coming up veryyy veryyyy soon!! xxxx

[@llsimpson17]

The truth: Most people are emotionally eating. Hit the root of the emotion that is causing the eating (the past sexual abuse, the stressful job etc.) and then eating whole foods as a lifestyle becomes significantly easier. Most people diet and hit af mental point oaf not deserving to be there and return right back to eating the caloric diet that helped them suppress the emotions

[@Theadhdentrepreneur]

Yes! I’m a big believer in the mental aspect of all parts of life, especially weight loss and the mentality with it.

[@xxdrowssapxx1]

Definitely agree with this. Stress management is key. Non food outlets for stress need to be developed, since we live in an environment where stress is inevitable.

[@lagirl4648]

Llsimpson17. Spot on!!!!!!

[@yesyes9246]

ty for this 💓💞

[@Cbop77]

Absolutely. I struggle with bulimia, and my problems with eating always become worse when I'm depressed. It's a constant struggle :(

[@aalliso3]

Natacha, another incredible difference between obese patients and non obese patients is the parasympathetic nervous system activity. Obesity causes parasympathetic responses that up-regulate the production of parietal cells in our stomach. Parietal cells are responsible for producing acid in our stomachs to chemically break down food as we digest. Because their activity is up-regulated, they overproduce acid. This is one major cause of acid reflux (and why we see it significantly more often in obese patients), and by extension, can lead to Barrett’s esophagus- which eventually makes the patient much more susceptible to esophageal cancer. But another newly-ish discovered characteristic of parietal cells is that they make us feel much hungrier. And since obese patients are producing waaaaay more parietal cells, they are much more likely to feel the hunger pains caused by the up-regulation of them. Super interesting stuff!

[@ygalel]

I'm here to watch your video after Coach Greg's recommendation.

[@estrellagraciaa]

Your videos are pireagoc Natasha!!!💕 I would love to hear some science video like this one about kind of Eating Disorder Recovery, or similar!!! Lots of love❤️

[@adamwesselink3990]

i’m here from doctor greg

[@spsongs-wf4ou]

Great video with great info! I'll admit, I was a little caught off guard when you cited my professor!

[@onemealmonster]

Not my doctor asked me to come here and watch this video. So here I am. 💪

[@lauras8980]

Love your videos so much! It‘s amazing how you combine science and lifestyle content on your channel. Keep going!

[@brianfunk2695]

Sent here by Coach Greg. Great video 😊

[@OneMaymay]

Thank you for all your informative videos! It's nice to see someone actually do proper research before talking about a subject. You inspire me!! =)

[@natachaoceane]

ahh thank you, it wouldn't feel right to rush a video like this, I need all my bases covered haha!! thank you for watching 🙏xxx

[@elliesfingersatthebottomof5887]

Didn't get a notification for some reason but I refreshed my page out of boredom - so here I am 😂❣

[@natachaoceane]

oh no ): I'm glad you're here though!! All my love sweetie xxx

[@homesweethometc354]

I love your videos! ❤️ I’m not sure if the accent makes me understand it more (because I love it!) or your explanation of the material but thank you for explaining and being so authentic !

[@petraporta7832]

Oooh I've been waiting for this video for so long, can't wait to watch in a bit! I'll admit though, the trust based like is already there :) Edit: Just watched, great great video as always but probably one of the best of your channel. The amount of work you put into your content really shows and the quality is always so high. I really hope you'll do the second part! :) I really find your explanations to be precise and interesting, and I like the fact that despite the fact that the odds does not seem in our favour, you showed that there are methods for losing fat that science has not explored sistematically yet, but we can hope it happens soon. Thank you again as always for the great content.

[@natachaoceane]

you're the best Petra thank you so much 🙏 all my love sweetie xxx

[@ws2rs402]

Thank you! Proper education about Nutrition is very important. It's not about you, it's about them! They didn't tell you the science. Love it! 💪

[@Ubeogesh]

Thank you Coach Greg for showing me this person. I don't even care what she talks about I just like to hear her beautiful accent. After watching: can't say that I learned anything new, but it certainly helped to structure my knowledge.

[@dineomakate6872]

I've been watching your videos for a while now, all the way from South Africa. Ive learned so much.Thank you Natacha 😘

[@natachaoceane]

thank you so much for watching Dineo!! I'm so happy you've learnt from my videos!! All my love xxx

[@Sofia-sz6kf]

Let's pray to god that you get 20K likes because I really want to see that one xx

[@natachaoceane]

me too sweetie!! 🤞

[@mollydobson2056]

Watching your science based videos make me want to study biology and chemistry again! I used to hate learning about metabolism, but since I train applying my own knowledge from experience and research and mixing it with your workouts, I want to learn more about nutrition and how it affects your body, and watching you makes me feel so motivated and positive. Also, I have quite an athletic build and I'm muscly but just need to shed a bit of fat from legs and tummy, are there any pointers you could give? Maybe cut down slightly on a certain macro or just about 10% of overall calories? I can't really find much online as most of it are weight loss diets which I definitely want to avoid. PS I could literally binge watch your videos, they're absolutely amazing!
