Guys, read the book Always Hungry? by David Ludwig, MD. He is an endocrinologist on the obesity front. Finally, a way of eating that does not rely on the calorie. We call it a "low glycemic diet" when explaining it to others; the idea is to keep your insulin response at a lower level. He explains the science. We've lost weight and we don't miss the sugar or flour. And we're not hungry. It is truly a long term solution. I wish this book had been available 40 years ago.

I'm the only skinny person in a family of obese people--even after three children and menopause. My "secret" is raw and fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts and seeds and no tap water! ❤️Get enough rest and you'll have so much energy you'll "exercise" by default. Also, staying away from negative people who make fun of your diet helps.

[@peggyharris3815]

I have people making fun of my 'skinniness'. There is no escape from judgement...lol.

[@amysho2192]

YES! Raw whole vegan is awesome.

[@diaryofarealmom3264]

Yeah, I’m skinny and when I did vegan I looked like I was dying I got so skinny and I felt like it too. Now I’m a humaneatarian. I eat humans meats but meat is absolutely needed.

[@appleicloud6877]

i hate being the only “tiny” person where i live and feel so embarrassed about it

[@glowood1700]

Ick who wants to eat fish cooked 5 days ago. Fresh grilled only. The rest of the meal can be made in advance. 15 minutes isn’t an inconvenience

[@ellep1732]

My fitness pal is also awesome for keeping track of calories, carbohydrates, sugar, sodium, etc. You can also keep track of water intake ❤️

[@lynnknight2192]

A suggestion for the 'self improvement' category would be using a rebounder at home, daily. It has helped me redevelop my leg muscles after developing RA in my knees and hips. No doctor told me about the benefits and how to use one safely. Thank goodness for the Internet! You could help a lot of people here!

[@clararaimundi551]

I am 5 4' and 118 lbs. I eat a little bit of everything and make healthier choices with food. I eat out often because my children and husband want to. It is possible to stay skinny/healthy weight just have to watch the portion. I see my poor husband struggle not to gain..you have to know what your body needs, not what it wants. You can eat everything, just eat small portions and a variety of foods

[@H4WK6969]

Smoking kept me skinny for 20 years, as soon as i quit smoking i piled the weight on.

[@plumeria66]

I'm skinny. It's simple. I don't eat snacks or junk food. I eat three balanced meals a day. Fruit and veggies too. I only eat when I'm hungry. Not when I'm bored or lonely or sad or for emotional reasons. Food tastes awful once I'm full. So do sweets.

[@Mimi-le7ow]

@Great White he eats that

[@Criselle307]

Me too, I only eat when I'm hungry.

[@GLGC688]

The Samsung Health app is really good for calorie counting. It also tells you what your vitamin and mineral count is, which is very helpful for finding out if you're eating enough of the right foods.

[@jacktownsend8260]

Great advice guys... Thanks for sharing...

[@jabezrbrain]

I have been tuned in to this channel for a few months now. I have reommnded you guys tro several people! Let me say thank you and encourage you to keep this up. I never win anything - and I doubt I ever will. I really dont care about that though! I do have one question/suggestion - when you have a video like this - with the list of 6 things (or whatever it entails), could you summarize them in the description? That would be a huge help for those of us who are at work and may not have time always to watch the entire thing? I woiuld really appreciate that good Sirs! Thank you! Keep up the great work gentlemen!

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you for the kind words and great feedback. We will consider this.

[@Saucyakld]

We just had fish, snapper and dipped in egg wash and stir fried. Served with a lovely fresh lettuce salad with capsicum, boiled egg slices, carrots, celery with a apple cider vinegar dressing! Yum! My husband caught the fish with his surf casting rod at the beach. He comes from obese stock and was always a medal winning rower. But at 50 he just piled it on his stomach. He worries me as I am a tall skinny, if I gain weight my hunger goes, lose weight I get hungry, typical my family. He moves measured and when he gets showered and dressed when he takes his time it takes an hour, when he hurries (me hurrying him) he takes an hour. But I noticed after me feeding him he looks for something else when I am busy and pigs himself! He thinks I don't know hahaha! But in the end no matter how much I want him healthy and slim only he can do it!

[@Stonegoal]

As a skinny person I do none of these things.

[@joepinel422]

Would be really interested to hear you all’s take on the marfanoid skeletal system. New fan here btw! Love the insight you provide us with.

[@denniscircawdm]

All good secrets. Not sure if Brad should binge for a whole day. That could take 1-2 weeks to burn off the extra calories (think of all those caramel apples he could eat!). Good content. I am 6 feet and 167 lbs., eat healthy, cook ahead for 8-10 days and freeze the main things. Maybe a bit "OCD," but also much less standing with a bad back in the kitchen (an added plus)! Remember Bob -- FOCUS. Brad had to remind you to get back on topic. (Another chance for a "Why, Bob, why?"). Watch your video on focusing again maybe? ;) Good work, gentlemen.

[@Sharon-pb7so]

You and my husband are the same height and weight. I could force feed him for a week and he wouldn't gain an ounce. Our son is 6' and 133 pounds, I lose sleep over him, his wife is skinny too.

[@denniscircawdm]

@@q7zjdwomfvkbj74 I'm not sure what you are saying here, but I've had a nutritionist and my doctor look at my diet and they say I eat healthier than 95% of their patients and clients. I ONLY freeze a couple of things. I still eat plenty of steamed or fresh fruits and vegetables daily (4-5 servings each). Thanks for the comment, but I am well aware of food enzymes.

[@RickyDemetro]

Hi Bob and Brad, I love your videos Can you make a video talking about a daily exercise routine for a normal healthy adult, that might prevent common ailments seen in old age and also improves strength and conditioning? Thank you!!!

[@BobandBrad]

Ricky, you bet! We have some coming this month.

Check out intermittent fasting (Dr Fung). Eat between 13:00 and 18:00. Works wonders

[@cynthiawest1962]

So love Dr Fung

[@randyhollier]

Look at Jason Fung he looks like a sack of potatoes. He is fat as hell. If his method works he would be slim so he is lying

[@randyhollier]

@Gummy Pico Yea but he that still doesnt mean anyone should fast for weight loss

[@jennybelle09]

Binging is just really never good. Having a treat should be a normal, occasional part of life. Binging is common, but is essentially mentally and physically harmful. As a recovering bulimic this is especially distressing to hear from medical professionals.

[@RedRedux]

Do you wonderful, smart, and very helpful souls have any videos for exercises to help with hemorrhoids by chance? Thanks if you do but I'm just not finding them.

[@Saucyakld]

Drink lots of water, that helps keep you regular and the consistency is smooth! Worked for me!

[@Tk-iz2ws]

Check out cayanne pepper on the net. NO. NO YOU WONT PUT IT ON THEM.

[@spinnettdesigns]

Genetics are such a small factor, habits rule! Just a caution...tuna? The larger the fish the greater the threat if heavy meatal poisioning. I disagree with snacking. Starving with no plan is ridiculous. Intermittent fasting is fabulous and effective. Snacking is terrible for the digestion. The feeling to binge is reduced with nutritionally dense foods on a regular basis. The key is having a solid plan and a goal, and a reason: truly caring for your health. Thank you all the same.

[@Sharon-pb7so]

Sometimes BBQ chips just have to happen. I eat the low sodium ones, so there's that...

[@wisskier]

Chubbyemu channel has a video on a woman who died from mercury poisoning (she was a chemist shoe spilled some organic mercury on herself) and he presented the amount of tuna one needs to eat to get mercury poisoning, the amount was crazy ridiculously high. Seems to me the amount was high for a lifetime.

[@diaryofarealmom3264]

As someone who is naturally underweight my whole life, I’m curious what you have to say. People told me I would gain weight after kids, nope, then my 30’s, nope. I eat whatever I want. I’m 5’10, 128 pounds average (I fluctuate). 1. And no, I do not plan my meals…. I just go with flow. 2. Snack when hungry, yes, I snack all day. I do not eat 3 meals a day, I just snack. And fad diets are stupid, all that matters is calories. 3. I do watch calories. 4. Binge? I eat what I want, I just watch how much, calories are everything. 5. I don’t exercise but I’m always moving. I park far, I always power walk, etc.

I’m skinny. I dance 20 hours a week! And I have very unhealthy eating habits 😂 don’t be like me, be like other skinny people

It takes 13 weeks to start a habit

[@fugangfugang8800]

(In my opinion)

[@appleicloud6877]

never force anyone to eat healthy no matter what..

Good advice. These are likely things that "skinny people" just do without thinking, too. I love big families -- you have your own ball teams in the back yard! Love to hear big family stories (when they're good stories).

What do you guys think about the book “Explain Pain” by Moseley? I was given it to read when I was in a rehab hospital to teach me deal with chronic back pain following complications just a few months after extensive spinal surgery.

[@BobandBrad]

It has very good reviews and recommendations with clinicians.

[@jennyweyman3039]

Ive met thousands of skinny people with type 2 diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver, hypertension, increased triglycerides etc. Have you heard of thin on the outside fat on the inside? It's about our individual metabolic health. Health is not a number on a scale.

[@marcusdevito5939]

[@scooterpower59]

Snack when you're hungry? Almost everyone thinks they are hungry all the time when they are just in their normal routine. You will eat more if you wait until you are starving to eat? Almost everyone thinks they are starving when they are nowhere near starving. And with all the overweight people, who is really eating or binging when they are feeling like they are starving? They are eating way to much way too often. To be really fit and fit/muscular slim, you need to eat the most nutrient dense (micronutrient) foods most of the time, while doing the most effective weight lifting moves, in the proper position, and for the proper amount of time, with the proper resistance and process (eccentric). GBOMBS and AthleanX can get you there. Transformations can really take place. Believe it. Achieve it.

[@Tk-iz2ws]

We are energy beings. The energy in foods such as fruits and veggies combines in our bodies. Quit eating DEAD food. Think alive...Eat alive...Stay alive. What is DEAD food? Items that have no nutritional value, vitamins or minerals in them.

[@KateSitka]

I think you guys should do some research on health at every size. This video perpetuates weight stigma in health care practitioners, you're promoting disordered eating habits that are really harmful for many people. I know you probably don't recognize what you're doing, but speaking as someone who has been harmed by this messaging over the past 20 years, and who has had to dive deep into diet culture, and disordered eating recovery, I hope you will consider my feedback. I was about to share your channel as one of my favourite things of 2018, because there is so much helpful information here, but this kind of content is harmful to me and to some of my friends. "Binge once a week" - are you kidding me? And advocating for restriction is just as bad. You're really perpetuating harmful messages in this video, and you have no science to back this up - because all the studies show that long term weight loss is unsustainable for 95% of people, and for the majority of those, weight loss attempts result in long-term gain. If you have always been skinny your secret is: you've always been skinny. There is not one long-term study that shows any intentional weight loss effort is effective over the long term - 5+ years. I even kept weight off for 7+ years through disordered eating habits such as those you're describing, and many more severe, until mid-life when all the weight came back on, plus more, no matter what I did. I developed an eating disorder trying to fix it all, which of course contributed to ill-health, not good health. Your video here contributes to the cultural idea that if you're not skinny, it's because you're not trying, you eat poorly - it's seen as a character flaw. There are many, many reasons why people aren't skinny, and as physiotherapists, you're supposed to be accepting and willing to help people in all body types. If you're interested in learning about why and how you should not harm your patients and followers with weight bias I suggest you start with this awesome podcast: Food Psych with Christy Harrison christyharrison.com/foodpsych/ I know you guys genuinely want to help people, so I really hope you check it out. As health care providers, you need to understand that health is a spectrum, bodies are diverse, and you really should be willing to serve people in all body types to help them improve their lives. This video just casts an awful shadow across all of your content for me now, because I now know that you value thinness in your clients, and you think that all anyone has to do to be skinny is to adopt these habits. This video is patronizing, insulting, and I really wish you had never posted it.

[@Sharon-pb7so]

I had 2 major back surgeries this year and I've lost 14 pounds. Minimal effort, minimal exercise. It's like I'm a sloth. I'm not overweight. Go figure... Maybe genetics play a role at least somewhat.

I usually enjoy your videos. But you are most definitely selling out recently. A better title would be "six secrets of HEALTHY people". You could have kept science involved and talked about inflammation and how it relates to body dysfunction and malaise. Calorie counting is not ideal compared to looking at quality of foods.
