The Skinny on Obesity (Ep. 6): A Fast-Paced Fast Food Life

[@SisterSunshineTV]

I have found in my own personal experience that in order to be in touch you must first experience actual hunger. Fasting for as long as you can will reset your hunger signal. Then when you are hungry, would you eat a bowl of plain brown rice with cooked lentils? If the answer is no you are not truly hungry keep fasting. Does a bowl of plain steamed broccoli look good? Congrats you are truly hungry. If the answer is no, keep fasting.

[@samuelgarcia8396]

LadyMelena i love you

[@hungergames4all]

I agree because I've tried it and it works. But try fasting for at least 2 weeks. And you have to be able to say no to the fatty, sugary foods, or it's not gonna work.

[@GuntherL1]

I have looked at the bowl of steamed broccoli for three weeks. It still didn't look appealing. I was then found by my family and taken to the hospital to eat plenty bowls of brown rice.

[@Nino_Z]

Respect, lady! The first woman i see in a long time who does not hide behind excuses but takes care of it! I hope you achieve your gols!

[@ALucas73]

Low carb/high fat/high protein is easy and you don't have to exercise to lose the weight. Best diet ever.

[@bighandXXll]

Your right we just need to spread the word across the internet! So this series has a chance to go viral.

[@RoGamersStudios]

This should be a TV show.

[@johngablesmith4671]

This is such an important video. It really explains my relationship with food. The relationship between cortisol and abdominal fat is an unfortunate one, but a truly relevant one.

[@GiaTheSweetPotato]

Oh wow, I took their stress test and apparently I am highly stressed. Although I still manage to keep a bmi of 19.0, I definitely have more fat on me than I used to (but that is probably a good thing, because I used to be underweight), and experience food cravings all the time, even though I'm not hungry. I am constantly thinking about food, it's awful. I think maybe I should listen to them and reduce my stress.

[@ALucas73]

It's easy on low carb/high fat/high protein and you arent hungry ever. Try it and you'll love it.

[@dctrex]

Great episode! Very refreshing that you're emphasizing mindfulness of someone's mental state of eating to quell anxiety and working at it from that point of view. As opposed to quick fix diets that never really work. My criticism is that you mention cortisol but never really explain in any of the previous episode. From what I've read cortisol is a very important piece of the obesity equation.

[@Cissy2cute]

I think sometimes people really don't want to know. It's hard to give up all the greasy and sugary foods that taste so good but are so deadly.

[@prettysteeve47]

You are right on I can't give up my Greasy Burgers,Salty French Fries! Sugary milkshakes!

[@preciousmcfadden4291]

@@prettysteeve47 but you don't need to. You can make it all at home and make it more nutritious compared to a fast food place. Burger and fries aren't really bad foods unless you add the extra oil, sugar, and butters like they do at restaurants.

[@tanit]

Losing weight is better than eating bad food. Lost over 170 lbs in one year from a low carb diet, I don't care how nice bad food can be, it's better to be able to use your body.

[@pepsico815]

People think that eating vegetables and fruits won't fill them up, but it's exactly the opposite. Carbs from these foods expand in the stomach quickly. They fill you up just as much as any other type of "food".

[@billyhw5492]

That is gas.

[@KittyLuvYou]

so, let's make it go viral by sharing on facebook, other social websites, etc.

[@The1RobynHode]

No, there is another way--it can be a cakewalk. It's called Intermittent fasting (IF). You do NOT have to exercise every day. I've lost 70+ pounds and I never feel hungry at all anymore. I can go 20 hours straight without ever feeling hungry. If you graze all day long, you're putting your blood sugars and insulin through massive swings. Eat more fatty/protein foods like fish, avocados, celery, peanut butter, etc. Dump the bread, keep Sugars less than 80g per day. Good luck!

[@paquitoignacio3449]

I lose my appetite if something bothers and feel upset on something.

[@click2112]

thank you so much for uploading this wonderful series

[@CosmicStargoat]

Yes. Dr. Atkins was dead spot on.

[@SouthernWhiteTrash]

Years ago, with only limited data, bodybuilders began to experiment with diet to obtain massive muscle gain followed by ultra-low body fat percentage. The way they eat is twenty years ahead of the solid long-term scientific studies being published now. The methods for contolling insulin with diet was taught to me as soon as I began the bodybuilding lifestyle.

[@chris101gray3]

It really comes to no more than "Choice". We each have the choice to eat bad foods, knowing what they can do to us, or we have the choice not to. It really is that simple. If this isn't simple enough in context for people, then basically they have no willpower.

[@mudchair16]

Great series

[@conard3]

I lost 35 pounds and gained 10 pounds LMM by working out, drinking water instead of coke and not going to fast food (except chinese sometimes). I've done this for a year (on Aug 1st). I now notice if I do have fast food (i did it once) I feel extremely full but still hungry soon after I've eaten. Fast food is a catch 22.

[@netbugger]

Yeah. There was a glitch with my hardware acceleration on flash. Fixed. Thanks for the reply though. :)

[@PiretBCN]

I have seen two types of response to stress: 1. eating more and/or comfort/junk food, 2. eating less or almost nothing. In my case I get the 1st response in case of low or average stress and the 2nd in case of very high stress/emotional pain. p.s. I am not obese.

[@LadyBludgeon]

"Forks over Knives" ... I love that documentary & such an inspiration. :) I also love "Food Matters". Both are such idea givers and encourager-s for me.

[@katelincleveland6615]

sometimes my parents like go out for dinner or bring it home for dinner and sometimes we do desserts if we have just have water and more fruits and veggies and salads cause i'm on a diet since september 19th 2018.

[@DatboiR0b]

Congrats, you look great to boot. =) I would say the biggest life style change I made was dropping my soda pop addiction for crisp clean water or tea. You would be amazed in how little time though you lose those cravings for it.

[@markcarter3653]

When I’m really mad, I can’t eat. Plus, I don’t buy any junk food unless you count peanuts, raisins & pumpkin seeds.

[@Patriot842]

Me too. I cannot eat when I'm stressed or upset. I do not allow fast food in my family. Everything in moderation. A lot of eating is comfort eating.

[@jumpmomongaable]

I doubt it. I am a nursing student, and we learn a lot of these things. but There are so many obese nurses and obeses nursing students as well....

[@TUTOGRAMA]

thank you for this video, it is very useful bye!

[@prettysteeve47]

I love my comfort foods so mich during periods of emotional stress! During periods of heavy workloads! During periods of overtime! I am ADDICTED and need HELP!

[@manthasagittarius1]

Subway is a mine field. Yes, you can assemble a meal from their choices that is almost all fresh veggies, although the protein ("grilled chicken cutlet"? It's pink slime molded to look like a cutlet, just a big naked McNugget) is very suspect. But the other choices are right there to mix in with it.

[@amandaowen1812]

as a 12 year old I used to drink small amounts of vinegar, small pile of salt and a slice of butter from time to time, I used to think it was a little strange but now I know I was just in tune with my bodies needs

[@annonymous9139]

natural fat is not poison if your insulin is low. Insulin is increased by fructose and too much starch which goes to sugar, and will then push the fat into storage. Did you watch the first episode?

[@dgswaggin101]

I use to eat like a horse when I was stressed, now that I've learned how to manage my stress better, I don't eat like use to.

[@optifog]

I googled "Syria obesity" and got the results of several studies, all of them estimating high rates. It's not a 1st world country either. If you look at the context, JogBird's comment, I think you'll see my point. Their challenge to the research was, people are more stressed in less wealthy countries, so why are they less fat? I was debunking the notion that poor countries are all thinner than the US, by showing that their example of a thinner country (Syria) is not actually thinner.

[@librazone]

The corruption of our nature starts when we are very young. Food is just another addiction for many people and like all addictions it begins during our formative years usually before the age of 6 or 7. The emotions serve the ego and the addictions serve the emotions. Any corruption or addiction involving food goes back to the mother just as addictions involving drugs or alcohol goes back to a problem with the father. Every obese person I know had a mother who was impatient with them as a child.

[@THEVAMPIREACADEMY123]

Everyone, skinny or fat, should try to not be a gluten and stick to healthier foods for just one week. The change is amazing. Your skin becomes clearer, you clothing looser, and your appetite for unhealthy food will be diminished. This is amazing. You will never want to go back.

[@annonymous9139]

You don't have to be hungry. You don't even HAVE to exercise if you are young. Your results will likely be better and you will have less saggy skin, but if you get the right amount of protein and natural fats from plant and animal sources you will lose while satisfying your hunger. You will learn to recognize the difference between cravings and hunger, too, but not right away. Limit your carbohydrate intake to what is in non-starchy vegs and eat protein and healthy fats.

[@droolalot5795]

More EXCUSES

[@TheLavenderAngel]

exactly!!

[@optifog]

81% of Syrian women between 46-65 are obese. In the U.S., among women of the same age, it's only 24.4 percent. Obesity is not just a first world problem anymore. Besides, what they're saying is not that stress increases fat stores overall (except through behaviour changes, which of course depend on food availability), but that it affects where in the body the fat is stored. The most toxic fat is visceral 'belly' fat, and when you lower stress, that fat gets moved to less dangerous places.

[@sig.lucidev]

The same is true vice versa. High carbs isn't bad it's when you have a combination of fat and carbs.

[@tanit]

It's a shame that these videos haven't gone viral (yet). If every american watched this series we would actually see some success.

[@CelticRaE19]

There are many factors to why people are fat these days. Some people have a harder time than others. Some have been that way their entire lives. I am here to say I have been over weight since I was 2. But last feb i was 242. I HAD ENOUGH! 191 now i have lost 51 lbs since. I ain't going back. It can be done. But you HAVE to work. You have to exercise everyday. You have to feel hungry. Its no cake walk. It's a lifestyle change. But it is worth it to live a full life. And in 50 more lbs I WILL.

[@FitnessCoachMark]

[@theuncanspan]

lemme explain it to you, camels are known for their tremendous tough climates endurance and they can stay up to 1 week with no food/water thus i made the analogy thank you

[@roadie1123]

Not necessarily high fat and high carbs. but the combination of the two! sugar

[@StasisCube]

Whoa, whoa there... can't start an ep without my soda n popcorn~

[@Cissy2cute]

But what about estrogenic fat? It accumulates around the breasts, hips, buttocks and thighs-the famous hourglass shape. Everyone seems so centered on abdominal fat (and it is a more dangerous fat distribution) but it's hard to find information on fat patterns that are more based on estrogen and what can be done about it..

[@netbugger]

Is there some kind of glitch with the video on this? I'm getting very blurred colours.

[@droolalot5795]

You know who was stressed out... Cavemen... Trying to survive.... They weren't FAT.

[@maricarmen3948]

I got a subway ad before watching this...

[@DAB520]

The meat of a grazing animal and their body fats have sustained our ancestors for 100,000 years. Wheat and grains are only 6,000 years (approximately), in the human diet. Dr William Davis in his book "Wheat Belly", makes the point that the "Frankenwheat" that we eat today is a High Glycemic carbohydrate; not the same wheat our grandparents ate around the turn of the 20th century. I'm not against complex carbohydrates such as leafy green vegetables; just against the simple carbs.

[@markcarter3653]

The same can be said for the meat that is “produced”on the farms. The cows, chickens & pigs of today are being injected with growth hormones. Before the 1980s, the aforementioned animals lived healthy lives therefore they were healthier to eat.

[@Trimere]

An asterisk is this... * Usually found next to statements requiring further explanation but with limited space on food labels. Perhaps I should have said Side Note.

[@o00thunderhawk00o]

thats basically exactly what im getting at... its easier to cut 500 calories from your diet by eating a little bit less cheese than eating a lot less grains

[@MrProofMan]

It's a lesser of all the evils, mostly. I used to work at Burger King, and I'd always go to the Subway down the street on my break. It still is fast food...but it's definitely better than a Whopper.

[@dennisjones5828]

everything in moderation ok so im 13 and an chubby and i have already lost 10 pounds during summer its just kids my age have to realize you cant always just be skinny you have to9 watch what you eat thats what i do and if you are bored just dont eat cause thats how you gain . and i just want everyone to know you can eat fast food once in a while but not as often and look for the most healthy thing on the enu and you can allways treat yourself ok so im 13 and i know this so yeah

[@gatorrz4lif]

exactly, if fat is hard to break down in your body, then wouldn't it be hard to break down from food, just to be turned back into fat? Its the carbs that instantly spike blood sugar and instantly turn into fat.

[@DatboiR0b]

Whole foods. The less complicated your foods are the more efficiently your body will handle them.

[@sophocles8761]

[@AnonymousOmniscience]

What kinds of foods are you eating?

[@celicaboy842]

brown rice, chicken breast, broccoli, and water? lol I dunno just guessing there!

[@o00thunderhawk00o]

i think people dont realize that the reason fat is avoided is only cuz its so calories dense. 1g of fat=9 calories where as 1g of carbohydrate and protein =4 and sugar alcohols are about 1.5 - 3 calories per gram. the reason you might cuz fat is cuz its easy to get too much.for weight loss its better to get in 40g of protein and complex carbs than fat. that way u save on calories.

[@bigschnabel]

Mindfullness is good for weight loss. Be mindful to avoid all foods that come in a packages you can read, including bread, milk products, oils, dressings, and juices. Eat organic, cage-free eggs, meats, poultry, fish, vegetables, fruits, berries, nuts, and seeds. Eat plenty of avocados. If you need something sweet when you are still hungry, always reach for a pear, strawberries, melon, blackberries, an apple, or grapes instead of something man-made. You will quickly lose lots of weight.

[@zomgdrhax]

we're not made to eat meat. We can't eat it raw and we arn't very good at hunting

[@Nashara23]

Subways is not healthy. They portray a healthy image, but subways has all sorts of processed meats (nitrates) and cheeses, breads with all sorts of chemicals. Back to basics. If you looked at the ingredients in the meats, breads, cookies of a subways meal, u would find that it is only "healthy" because it meets the calorie standards, not because of the ingredients in the food. Truly healthy eating comes from eliminating all processed foods, and eating foods with ingredients u can pronounce

[@LadyBludgeon]

No. The show is paid for by green vegetables, cage-free eggs, grass-fed beef, and wild-caught salmon. What you want is the best of raw vegan plus the best of paleolithic meats. The critical moment is at the checkout counter at the grocery store. Look to front of you to see what is on the belt, and behind you. You will find carbohydrate-loaded crap in cardboard boxes, both frozen and dry. Take pride in the fact that your food comes is little plastic bags and contains fresh vegetables.

[@crand20033]

So what we need to do as a society is eliminate the availability of the foods that are causing obesity. A government crackdown on these foods is truly needed. The problem is the government makes a lot of tax money on these stupid foods. We need to boycott these foods.

[@TheBlackwater200]

Fast food chains are to blame, how can you have willpower when bad food is thrown in your face everywhere? Not enough healhty fast food for people to go eat, and with the work force taking up most of our lives, and traffic rushing to get to work, and running around the city, doesn't help people to eat better.

[@georgeelliott9119]

Meat is natural? oh yeah apart from the fact hundreds of different chemicals go into it then you have to cook it for it to be safe? Natural foods are fruits and vegetables and wheat carbohydrates... read 80 10 10 if you want to actually be healthy and athletically competitive..
