Other sources: 2. Flaxseeds and Chia Seeds: These seeds are rich in soluble fiber and also contain omega-3 fatty acids. They have been suggested to increase GLP-1 levels and improve insulin sensitivity. 3. Cinnamon: Cinnamon has been shown to enhance GLP-1 secretion and improve insulin sensitivity. Incorporating cinnamon into your diet can be as simple as adding it to oatmeal, smoothies, or baked goods. 5. Berries: Berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries are not only rich in fiber but also contain antioxidants and other beneficial compounds. They have been associated with increased GLP-1 secretion and improved glucose metabolism. 6. Turmeric: Turmeric, a spice commonly used in curry dishes, contains a compound called curcumin. Curcumin has been found to increase GLP-1 production and may have potential benefits for blood sugar regulation.

At one point I was doing (for various reasons but I think the main one was to try and reduce bad cholesterol) what I called my fiber mixture with dinner. It was about 1 Tbsp each of Potato Starch (resistant starch), Chia Seeds, Ground Flax Seed, Oat Bran. I would then mix in some cinnamon and cloves and/or allspice and add some raisins and almond milk. Now that I have stopped doing that I realize that I did find I had less hunger in general and was 30 pounds lighter. So I need to go back to that and maybe do it at lunch too. Also I have found water fasting for 2-3 days every so often reduces my hunger -- have read that it helps improve insulin and leptin resistance.

20 years ago I did weight watchers and back then one of the rules was that you could eat as much potato (plain without fat added obv) as you want in a sitting for 2 points - which is literally nothing when you have 18 points to spend in a day. So I was "gaming" the system by eating boiled potatoes with tomato sauce (tomatoes are "free") pretty much every day and then have fun with my other 16 points. You'd think I was cheating myself, but no, I actually did lose weight. I've been relying on potatoes for weightloss ever since. People are incredulous when I tell them, they just can't believe you could lose weight eating potatoes. Potatoes and carbs in general have been way too demonized. Anyway I thought it was funny that weight watchers knew this stuff already 20 years ago.

[@sallyjrwjrw6766]

[@kite6864]

once i started on a glp-1 i could start eating potatoes again and lose weight (actually can eat alot of carbs now) . i think some bodies just have less glp-1 and will put on weight, so it's not a high carb vs low carb thing but these gut hormones play a huge role in people's weight.

It takes the time to test out dishes, and to learn some basic cooking.

Not scientific in the least bit, but more metaphysical and spiritual (which some people might poo poo, but I've had intense direct repeat experiences of this side of life, some with powerful, in my face verification), but you raised your consciousness vibratory rates, metaphorically speaking, by eating vegan. There is a lot of fear energy in animal flesh foods (especially the more complex animals like cows, and especially pigs). That fear energy is very slow vibratory and has a damaging effect on the human energy system, not just physically, but also energetically. Meanwhile, alcoholics and drugs addicts are often the targets of nasty nonphysically focused beings and/or a nasty ET group (most ET groups are from decent to positive, but there is least one very negative group that I know of directly/experientially). These psychopathic beings have found that it is easier to influence humans while they are drunk, high, etc (this influence gets especially bad during blackouts, which is when they take full control), so they hang around people with these issues to try to influence them. One of the influences of course, is to keep that human stuck in such patterns and cycles (being alcoholic etc). This makes it harder for the person to quit. But by raising your inner vibratory levels, you created a mismatch, a non harmonious resonation, a dissonance, with their vibratory patterns (after all, they are pure fear and ego based). You started to "repel" them more and were less easily influenced. This weakening of their influence on you, made it easier for you to quit.

[@justinw1765]

An example of such verification: For our honeymoon, my partner and I went to The Monroe Institute and took their first program (it was significantly cheaper back then). During same, at one point, they brought us to another building. We watched a video of a Japanese show which featured an ex US military trained remove viewer do his thing for the show. Anyways, after the video, the trainers told us, we were going to try our own remote viewing practice. Our group was only given a random sequence of numbers to symbolically represent and "connect" to the target. I wrote down my impressions: I was getting impressions of this large, arching, thin metal structure. I was getting a fair amount of water, and lots of large buildings. After we all finished putting down our impressions, they revealed the target: it was the St. Louis Arch, which I didn't know about/hadn't seen before previously (one lady in our group, got even more and better details than me). When you have hundreds of experiences like this over many years, you tend to start trusting and believing in this kind of stuff. When I first started, I approached it extremely skeptically. For example, I had noticed, in high school, that I could sense when people were looking at me (it seemed like I was quite sensitive to it). So I started to run systematic experiments. In different classes, I would spend a set amount of time staring at most students (except the ones right to my sides or in back of me) and note if they noticed and how long it took if they did. Conclusion, there was something beyond statistical chance to it, and a trend was that women/females were significantly better at this sensing than males. But there were occasionally some male outliers. And this one girl (who I had a crush on, and who subjectively had a kind of "witchy" type vibe to me), was phenomenal, it was like she knew every single time, quickly, without fail (she was not interested in me [I was quite unpopular and ostracized], but had a crush on a football player, so her looking back at me wasn't due to mutual attraction).

[@justinw1765]

@@michaelaranyani3418 Hi Michael, KZbin didn't notify me of your reply, and I'm just seeing it now, hence the delayed response. Yeah, it is a very big reality out there, Some physicists/physic theories postulate that there are many more dimensions than the ones we can perceive with our 5, material/physical senses. Based on my experiences, I would say that is true. I also would say that the observation of quantum entanglement strongly implies/suggests that on a fundamental level, everything is interconnected. When you allow for the possibility of two premises being true, multiple dimensions and the Oneness/interconnection of all (which is the only thing in my mind that would be able to contradict speed of light constraint/Einsteinian rules), well every so called "woo woo" phenomenon (spiritual, psychic, etc) can be explained, be rationale, be scientific. We humans aren't at any pinnacle or zenith of knowing the larger reality and how everything works. We don't even have the basics completely figured out--like what gravity is and exactly how it works, and similar for electricity--we have predictive models and we understand some rules/tendencies involved, but that is about it. Even if there are negative, unseen forces out there that exist, I wouldn't give them too much time and energy as to worry or the like. There are also many (more) positive forces/levels, and we can always ask these for help for anything, and in dealing with the negative forces/levels. I suspect that the positive forces are more powerful in some important ways. Anyways, I hope you continue to grow/evolve/raise your consciousness vibratory rates (i.e. become more and more attuned to pure universal Love). This planet/humanity surely needs more of that.

i have ADHD and developed a binge eating problem. If you are struggling to lose weight and have an issue with attention span, ADD, ADHD, Binge eating, or any other unhealthy food habits... check out counseling. you would be surprised how much of it is mental and not physical. Getting mental illness or addressing structural differences in your brain could be the difference. I struggled for over a decade with weight problems. After therapy and medicating my ADHD and binge eating, im down 30 pounds in 4 months. (188 -> 158), my goal is 20-25% body fat, i am at about 30% right now :)

[@jenniferfoggs]

The adhd meds definitely help a lot haha. But I relate. I struggled with binge eating from age 12 - 21 (25 now). I realised a lot of the binging came from creating food rules (I won’t eat any “bad” food for 2 weeks kinda thing - like sort of restrictive thinking). The early binges kinda came from puberty cravings though haha

It is interesting to note that the "discoveries" we think we are making today were also made back in the 60's and 70's, and Prevention Magazine (before they became a commercial magazine full of ads) had many articles on fiber and diets. Burkitt (I don't remember his first name) used to be called "The Bran Man." Fiber cereals, plain edible fiber, and high fiber bread were all the rage, along with a high-fiber diet in general. I remember one of my teachers (I was taking night classes for my A.A. Degree) was sharing with the class how his daughter had lost so much weight on the high fiber diet. I think we probably all need reminding as things cycle back from the past, all the good ideas that got waylaid over decades, so we can put them back into our tools for good living.

Given the inconvenience, exorbitant expense, side effects, and scarcity, I'll stick with my two weight loss programs: 1. Wait For Summer Diet 2. No Junk Food Diet The Wait For Summer Diet consists of waiting for the warmer months to arrive. Summer is here, and it's the most wonderful time of the year for losing weight. This is the season that brings me a smaller appetite and more chances to exercise. Losing weight in summer is the easy part. The hard part is keeping it off in winter, because Old Man Winter brings me a larger appetite and fewer chances to exercise. The No Junk Food Diet consists of ditching unhealthy foods and doubling down on the quantity and variety of healthy superfoods. This works wonders at enhancing summer weight loss AND reducing winter weight gain. I've been on this diet for most of the past 3 years, and it really does work. Of course, my motivation has been the pandemic. I need the immune system support and the anti-inflammatory support. Compared to all the other sacrifices we've had to make and still have to make, sacrificing junk food seems like nothing. Both of my weight loss programs bypass the expense, inconvenience, and weird and nasty side effects of Ozempic.

[@RiDankulous]

Those sound interesting. I'm on starch solution by Mcdougall, and it's whole food-plant based. I can maintain in a range that is well within the healthy BMI measurements. In fact, I am losing a little weight right now so I get my waist size where I want it. Previousy, when I ate the standard American diet, it was an epic struggle and if I reached the goal, I wouldn't keep weight there. I think a big piece is the fiber and calorie density of wfpb helps me, plus I eliminated the super rich, addictive foods. It still takes time to lose weight but it's not an epic struggle, and I keep my weight lower for much longer.

And I recall now, a phenomenon called something like the second meal effect: things produced from dietary fibre by bacteria in the colon work on the brain to lower appetite at the next meal.

@@YourCapybaraAmigo_17yrsago Most of the super foods i.e. extremely nutrient dense per weight, are plant foods (the list of them is way longer than the below category). With that said, there are some animal foods that are healthy in moderation and a few that could be considered super foods as well. Primarily organ meats from healthy animals, low fat goat, sheep, or A2 only casein cow milk based yogurt and kefir from healthy, well treated animals, chicken and duck egg yolks (but they can't be heated too much, it damages the cholesterol and makes it more toxic) from healthy and well treated animals, and wild sardines with bones/skin (especially the non canned versions, but canned is still pretty good all in all--though some folks are bothered by the high purine levels). With that said, you don't need any of these to be healthy. But in moderation, they certainly won't hurt. You don't ever want to over due long chain saturated fats (i.e. animal food based fats) more particularly. It has a scientific rap sheet longer than my arm. (That's why I specify low fat versions of goat/sheep/A2 only cow milk yogurt and kefir. Also, both pesticide toxin residues and hormones concentrate in the fat, so it makes sense to reduce the fat intake of these). While I eat mostly plant based (95 to 98 total %), I do occasionally eat sardines w/ bones/skin, egg yolks from healthy and well treated animals, and goat/sheep/A2 only cow yogurt/kefir from healthy and better treated animals. I feel *slightly* better when I incorporate these select non plant foods into my diet. As you can see, I wouldn't call self "vegan". But I do appreciate the vegan ethos and way of life, and I do think that a diet primarily of whole food plant foods is far healthier than one that is not. Just look at the Inuit and their lack of health and longevity to see what the opposite does. Then compare them to the 5 rare Blue Zone peoples/areas of the world where the people collectively are living significantly longer and healthier lives, and where centenarians are not rare, but almost common (this research btw, has been going on for decades now). They all have certain things in common diet and otherwise. Diet wise, they all eat a diet high in whole food plant foods, and meat consumption ranges from no to in between low-moderate. I try to not let subjective beliefs, feelings, opinions, etc guide me, but more objective and evidence based ones.

[@justinw1765]

And on a spiritual/energetic/consciousness level, you will note that if you cut out all the heavier meats (especially pork and beef) that one starts to feel more intune, alive, balanced, and aware/awake. I stopped eating beef and pork when I was 16 after a few years of already meditating. I noticed definite, positive energetic shifts after that, and I became more acutely intuitive and perceptive. I then stopped eating all meat for a long time (about a decade) and I noticed some more shifts. The last 10 years, as mentioned above, I occasionally eat some wild fish (mostly sardines w/ bone/skin). This has not negatively impacted the above. Its the only meat that doesn't seem to that I have noticed. The issue with beef and especially pork is that unless the animals are very well treated and killed without knowing they are about to die, is a lot of fear energy builds up in them and permeates the meat. Fear energy is a very slow vibratory/negative energy and one that is hard on the human energy system. Easily imbalances it. When we eat their flesh, we intake that negative, slow vibratory energy. I guarantee you, go without pork, beef, venison, and chicken for a month, and stick to only some occasional wild caught, healthier fish like sardines, Wild Alaskan salmon/pollock/cod, Arctic Char, etc, you will notice definite positive changes energetically and awareness wise. By occasional, I mean no more than 3 total meals a week, so like every other day, one meal that has some select/healthier fish (not tuna, swordfish, etc). I know many people--vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians, and even some non versions of these, who have noticed similar things.

[@justinw1765]

The higher you go up the evolutionary chain, the more complex and emotionally based the animals become. Fish do experience fear, but it is a more simple and automatic type reaction (like a pre-programmed response to danger) as compared to the abject emotionally based horror of say a pig, which is much more similar to how a human experiences fear in such extreme conditions of being attacked and killed. I think if you try this experiment, you will be pleasantly surprised. And after awhile, you won't miss the heavier, fear laden foods.

I was put on one of these drugs in this family. The doctor gave me the first dose in the office. I was told it was a new insulin. I didn't feel right about it. I looked it up at home. The side effects were horrifying. I have thyroid issues in my family. No one told me that's a huge problem with the drug. I wasn't told about the ultra restrictive diet and the kidney failure. I have kidney problems already. They should have never given me that drug for several reasons. I was afraid of my insulin, but that drug made it look like nothing. I threw out the sample kit and have not been back. I used to take herbs and supplements and food for medicine. I'm unemployed and had to stop because I can't afford. I have a government backed insurance and have to use whatever that will cover. They will not cover natural meds. I feel like a guinea pig. I'm being used for human trials. Im not being informed.

If you have diabetes please go back to the doctor your going to slowly die if you are not able to get it under control. If you have type 2 diabetes and they are giving you insulin that is usually one of the last things they give to people because that means pills are not helping your blood sugar stay in control. In the meantime try your best to lose weight if you are overweight and do light strength training or cardio after a meal it helps remove the glycogen that is stored in your muscles so that the sugar you just ate can be stored in the muscles helping lower blood sugar. If you are doing exercise remember to check your blood sugar levels to make sure they do not go to low. I repeat please go back to your doctor. I know that it is scary but they do care and they are trying to help you.

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

I have to admit - I do think that these GLP-1 medicines are game changers. Not only does it give a less invasive alternative to weight loss surgery, but it does help PCOS patients lose weight by managing insulin resistance. For PCOS patients, they’ll have to be on it for the long term because they’re like diabetics with insulin resistance. I do agree that berberine is NOT nature’s Ozempic. You can lose weight with berberine, but you have to take high dosages, AND there are still risks with it even though it’s “natural”. I like berberine for the other benefits (reduce fat in blood and liver is a big one). Regardless of whether a person uses a tool or not, a person MUST reduce their calories and change their diet in order to lose weight and maintain it, and they MUST exercise (include weight bearing exercises) to prevent muscle loss.

[@tarynriver]

I recently purchased Berberine because I saw in a couple videos it can help with absorption of thyroid meds and vitamin d plus I heard it would help with insulin resistance which I do think I have due to having hashimotos do I know if it will work no but if it helps my body absorb my thyroid meds honestly it’s worth it to me cause my meds seem to not help and it’s frustrating

[@ActivistAustralian]

Thank you for this video. I have been considering trying Ozempic when it becomes more readily available in Australia later this year. I've been obese most of my adult life. Stress and menopause have contributed to this, I believe. I quit alcohol 18 months ago, with no resultant weight loss. I went WFPB in January this year, after 4 months I hit a plateau at 3 kg weight loss. In the last month I've cleaned up my diet more, avoiding all added sugar. I exercise regularly. Obesity can be very difficult to shift. Unfortunately, doctors keep telling me, "eat less, exercise more", despite that not working. Thanks again Mic, I very much appreciate your work.

[@suspicionofdeceit]

Your brain changes after obesity sets in, its extremely hard to get back out.

Eat only whole foods. No sugar. No oil, little nuts and seeds (little whole fat). Low Protein just enough. Beans, Potatoes, sweet potatoes, veggies, fruits, lentils, Barley is great. Complex whole Carbs should be the focus. Fat is easily stored as fat. Energy from Carbs is stored in the muscles and only in super high excess in a high energy consuming process transferd into fat.

[@sconrey7]

Depends on what type of working out you do. Weightlifting is best for weight loss. Warm up with like 5 mins of a jog but that's it. Make sure you burn more calories than you take in that day.

[@Ninsidhe]

⁠@@xperience-evolutionThe ‘diet’ you just recommended would KILL me. As in, literally. Beans act like broken glass in my gut. The amount of incorrect information you’ve declared as ‘good’ in your statement is boggling- and I’m speaking as someone who in the past few years has lost over 50 kg. ‘Fat is easily stored as fat’? How about *differentiating between GOOD and BAD fats* for a start? I eat a vegan keto, gf and grain free diet, which means I eat a TON of ‘fats’ but they’re GOOD fats and my body stays burning fat instead of demanding sugars as fuel. Our bodies are also designed to *convert* fats into different metabolites, which means we don’t go into hypoglycaemia on a low carb diet. Crappy carbs make me sick and fat, I’ve proven it to myself enough- I have to be VERY careful even with plant based carbs and have to take supplements that stimulate my bile in order to avoid the pain and bloating that comes from eating high carb veggies. Barley is great *if your individual body can handle grains* . Not great advice at all.

[@Ninsidhe]

Here’s my advice as someone who has lost over 50kg and is still losing as I restore my body health- learn to eat intuitively, *for your OWN body* , rather than listening to the ‘one size fits all’ crowd. Grains, gluten and beans are a disaster for me and for many others, as an example, so it really is about listening to your OWN body. Keep a detailed diary of what and when you eat, list all physical and other symptoms (great way of finding out what exactly might be contributing to the pain/brain fog/symptoms you might be experiencing); I bought a low cost blood sugar meter and tracked what foods would cause my insulin spikes and what wouldn’t, because when individuals are talking about *obesity* they’re frequently dealing with INSULIN RESISTANCE, which needs a whole long term plan in order to reverse. I totally recommend finding out about insulin resistance so that you can figure out if it’s something you’re experiencing- if it IS it won’t matter HOW little you eat or how low your calories go, you’ll still be either maintaining your weight or even putting weight on. I no longer have insulin resistance because I adopted the fasting lifestyle- I eat in a 2-4 hour window every day and fast the rest of the time with plenty of water (usually with supplements in it). I built up to this kind of fasting protocol but fasting is something it turns out my body really, really loves. I take nutritional supplements because being unhealthy for a long period of time resulted in some very deep deficiencies (and a body that couldn’t process nutrients very well) so I’m happy to supplement until it’s obvious that I don’t need them any more. I don’t rely on the medical system’s BS nutrient level ‘daily recommendations’ to tell me about my nutrients, I do ALL my own research and experimentation to discover what’s right *for me* . I also use muscle testing and have learned to observe myself closely to track if I’m doing well. Your body is unique- the reasons it does was it does will also be unique, so the best way to health is to spend the time figuring out what is right *for YOU* , which will mean changing some of your behaviours, learning about yourself and your body, what sort of diet is right for you, what sort of exercise. We are all unique, so it’s impossible for a ‘one size fits all’ approach to work- it’s even like that dumb myth ‘lower calories+exercise ALWAYS = weight loss’, which is great for the weight loss industry profits but is absolute rubbish when it comes to reality. You just need to find what’s right *for you* .

[@leanahbouvier9849]

I very much appreciate you sharing this information! However, I'm not a scientist. Is there somewhere you have a plain English version of the take aways?

[@agnidas5816]

Thank you for another informative video, Michael(Mic) 2:43 and there it is . All they are doing is going on a starvation diet so of course they will lose healthy lean tissue. They just cannot wrap their minds around the idea that hormone levels dictate tissue mass and distribution. In part because many steroid users gaslight the non users about how hormones work. If people followed a WFPB diet they can recover hormone levels almost as well as if on HRT and get similar automatic changes in looks but with added muscle instead of just wasting away like on Ozempic. People who go on steroids tend to gain weight while losing body fat at the same time on their first cycle - it is all a matter of hormones. If you need to inject once a week with ozempic - may as well go for HRT. And before HRT try lifestyle intervention ... Professional body builders put on muscle during their stage prep of 6-12 weeks and that is also when they take the most drugs in the year too. The general masses are told it is the opposite by people like Arnold and it destroys their ability to comprehend fat-loss. Like the reason cardio helps with weight loss is it improves hormone functioning - even affecting hunger signalling hormones. Also boosts our whole endocrine system and growth hormone , etc. It is not just a calorie deficit thing. Triathletes look amazing without starving ... it's the hormone signalling and enabling lifestyle. If the body knows it has to run - it will try to reduce total mass while trying to get tougher. Body is an intelligent but dumb survivor.
