+Dean Graves the part where all the food you eat is use for energy and or stored . A lot of the food you eat is used to repair and replace cells in the body. research done by ali crum proofed that just by modifying what a person believed ,has an effect on weight loss and or metabolic action ... eat less move more fail.
@ualaelinlive
@ualaelinlive 7 жыл бұрын
Nico, here's an easier simplification of what he said. If your body can't use everything you've put into it, the excess is stored or excreted. Too much energy in versus energy used = overweight. Thus, move more, eat fewer KJ or calories, make yourself cold while maintaining KJ/calories, etc. It really is that easy. He isn't comparing raw energy intake between individuals (i.e. fast vs slow metabolism); only in a particular case, if weight is a problem, just eat less, or move, or both.
@nico1pendragon
@nico1pendragon 7 жыл бұрын
+ualaelinlive I understand what he said ... the problem comes in when you understand that the process the determines energy yield(calories ) of food and what happens to food in your body is vastly different second to that food you eat doesn't only provide energy most of it is used to repair and replace cells in your body. Thirdly ali crum's research strongly suggest that by altering only a set of believes weight loss will occur . At 4:57 he actually says that little arrow there is a 3 year degree ... No how much would you trust a doctor that's 3 years short on his degree? Now when you eat your metabolism speeds up and when you don't eat it slows down so you must be referring to basal metabolic rates and that has nothing to do with having a weight problem .

@@kpeezy776 you dont need any gym equipment to lose weight. 90% of this is better nutrition. You just need to eat less calories than you burn. Most people fall into the trap of adding exercise, but also consuming more food (because the body has established a "normal" rate of excess calories each day and that's how your appetite works. Your appetite will trick you. It is not telling you what the body needs. It's telling you what you normally do. And since you are looking to make a change (new healthier weight and lifestyle) you have to ignore your appetite and choose a good macro nutrient profile. Adding exercise helps of course, but ultimately you want to eat approx 100-150 calories less than you burn (you BMR + any exercise). Counting calories can be a bit tiring and tricky, but once your body adjusts to being a little hungry, you no longer associate that feeling with hunger, but with wellness, with not consuming excess.

Everything is the sun. Do some more reading on quantum physics and how it plays into biology. We SEE due to photons. We are powered by the sun ,but it's processed by the body. It's where melanin comes into play. Read about how mitochondria in the cells work. The earth evolved with the sun. All life upon the earth is connected with the sun. Fittingly, eventually, the sun will go nova and destroy all life on earth. What it giveth, it will take away.

@RobertMorgan

It's not that people have lost faith in science, it's science that has lost faith in itself. Climate Change research is driving this trend more than anything. It is a pre-determined conclusion to which data and hypotheses are made to fit, because if they don't YOU GET NO GRANT MONEY. There is $0 of funding available from any major source for research that leads to a conclusion contrary to the 'consensus'. This is terrifying. The whole point of the scientific method is that consensus can always be wrong in light of new information and understanding. This has happened on many notable occasions, where the research of one individual rewrote and wiped out the supposed laws of entire fields that had stood as fact for, in some cases, thousands of years. Heliocentrism and Plate Tectonics are two towering examples. I just worry that 500 years from now, people will read scientific history books and snicker at our time and say "Wow, they believed people could actually affect an entire planetary climactic system, primitive idiots. They probably thought the Earth was flat, too, hahahahahah....oh wait, polls from that time showed the majority of people under 35 DID believe the planet was flat." Above all, science, more than any discipline, needs to keep an open mind free of presupposition.

This may sound like a conspiracy theory... All this 'new' information, particularly about diet and medicine, has been hushed up by the food industry (can you imagine the problems caused if the public stated demanding that HFCS and sugar be removed form the foods we eat), the pharmacological industry, and the weight loss industry for years. The drug companies have no interest in you learning how to live without their drugs. That's why we haven't seen a disease CURED in almost 50 years. There's no money in curing a disease, but plenty in 'managing' it... Why sell one pill that stops the disease, when you can sell a lifetime of pills to extend that person's life? And who funds most medical research, and medical training facilities, and offers fantastic incentives to doctors to prescribe, prescribe, prescribe? The 'weight loss' industry is worth BILLIONS a year. A lot of that heads back to the treasury as taxes, so government has a strong incentive to 'leave sleeping dogs lie' (and paying tax)... The food industry has lobby groups whose specific task is to ensure the government does nothing to alert people the wool being pulled over our eyes. I am now seeing more and more videos, TED talks and promotional videos basically trying to take down all these barriers to 'truth'. A film-maker in Australia made a controversial film regarding high sugar diets. It was pointing out some really interesting information. The Australia Medical Association had the film pulled off Netflix as 'misleading and dangerous'... What they didn't say was that it was dangerous to the incomes of the drug companies who support the medical industry... As I said, sounds like a conspiracy theory to me, but remember, a few 'conspiracy theories' have actually been proven to actually be the truth... So, 'please consider'...

Walking up stairs, lifting boxes, folding laundry are all movements that use energy and involve different parts of the body. Exercise is defined as "physical activity that is structured and done at a specific intensity for a length of time." We engage in exercise for fitness and health benefits, to improve some components of our physical well-being - cardiovascular endurance, muscle strength or endurance, flexibility, body composition, etc.

This is very interesting to me. As a side story, my family and I recently visited the Colorado Rockies (11,000+ ft.). Now the 1st day of the trip was spent at around 6000 feet. and I was surprised that I had forgot about the lack of oxygen I might encounter at high elevations, being from Fa. It had been 20+ years since I had been in Colorado and the one thing I forgot about was elevation and the breathing issues. But luckily my wife had a phone call with a friend who lived in the state, and she suggested we drink a lot of water.... (H20), which provided the extra oxygen we were missing... and it worked. No more breathing issues. Thanks and Great TED!

Sorry but drinking water does NOT provide oxygen for breathing. You're unclear on the physiology. In order to make breathing easier, there are only 2 ways - more oxygen IN THE AIR, or less activity (need for oxygen). Drinking or eating food or drink that contains oxygen thinking it's going to help with high altitude breathing is woo.

If I’m not mistaken, the problem with altitude (hypoxemia) has to do with the fact that overbreathing to help make up for less oxygen at higher elevation also effects blood acid-base balance by making the blood too alkaline (low CO2). The kidneys try to compensate for this by the excretion of bicarbonate ions (a base) in the urine. The drug “Diamox” (acetazolamide), a renal carbonic anhydrase inhibitor) mimics this process, by aiding in the excretion of bicarbonate ions, thereby allowing greater hyperventilation and more oxygenation. The primary trigger for breathing (respiratory drive) is not the lack of oxygen but the abundance of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide in the blood stream is in equilibrium with carbonic acid. If we breathe off too much CO2, that partially extinguishes our reflex to breathe. The kidney’s effort to compensate for this to acidify our blood stream allows us to breathe more. This is why exposure to higher altitude causes a well-hydrated individual to diurese (pee more).

The water helps because of the low humidity. You're constantly losing water to the air. The last thing you want is to be dehydrated and hypoxic. Water affects the former not the latter.

At 20:46 he should have said "eating low carbohydrate diets" instead of "low protein." He was talking about ketosis which is a result of keeping carbohydrate consumption generally below 20 grams per day to lose weight. Personal experience, ketosis is very effective as a means of weight loss with my loss from 223 pounds down to 185 pounds.
