The Top 5 Foods to Lose Belly Fat (NO BULLSH*T!)

[@JeremyEthier]

There seems to be quite a bit of confusion and pushback in the comments about "seed oils" and "artificial sweeteners". My goal with this channel is to inform you with the best available evidence while considering the strength of the evidence. So while there is some valid mechanistic speculation, the human evidence we have points toward PUFAs (including Omega-6 which are found in seed oils) being neutral to positive for most health outcomes particularly when replacing saturated fat (as noted in the two studies covered in the video). As for the concerns of negative health effects from sugar-free drinks, again the most high quality data we have says otherwise: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30602577/ . There are some unknowns with certain artificial sweeteners, but overall the most recent human research we have points to them being safe, and as mentioned in the video, helpful for weight loss purposes. Ultimately I respect each of your decisions as to what you decide to eat, and I get how confusing/overwhelming getting nutrition info from a bunch of different sources/influencers can be, but realize that research is always evolving and changing. I try my best to stay on top of the latest evidence, and sometimes this contradicts what I used to believe. So be open to changing your thoughts/beliefs based on new evidence, that's the only way to grow and that's what this channel is all about. Anyways, I hope you found the video useful. Here's all the links to the studies mentioned in the video: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SATIETY AND CALORIE CONSUMPTION pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6303104/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11518179/ EFFECTS OF LOW-CALORIE DENSITY FOODS ON CALORIE AND FOOD INTAKE pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16762948/ THERMIC EFFECT OF FOOD www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC524030/ HIGH PROTEIN VS LOW PROTEIN DIET pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8856395/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11063440/ PROTEIN INTAKE AND POST-DIET FAT REGAIN pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26813524/ CONSUMPTION OF PUFAS VS SATURATED FATS ON TYPE OF BELLY FAT pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22492369/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24550191/ THE EFFECTS OF NON-NUTRITIVE SWEETENER VS WATER ON WEIGHT LOSS www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4744961

[@hisdudeness690]

The pushback about artificial sweeteners is not about their effect on lowering the net caloric intake for those who would rather go for a sugary drink. This is logically sound, but the effects of artificial sweeteners on gut microbiome, and cardiometabolic health are not yet realized, and we only just started to study gut microbiome seriously in the last decade. Even scientists are prone to confirmation bias, which is why we have a peer review process. Most reviews on NNS suggest that the studies are incomplete and need more research to support any kind of claim. It is kind of surprising that there are still products marketed as healthy, even though the studies in favor and against it are non-conclusive. I would take NNSs with a huge bucket of salt.

Seed oils are some of the worst foods you can possibly eat. Omega 6 out of balance wtih Omega 3 is also not a good thing. From personal experience diet soda causes sugar craving especially on an empty stomach. Most people I see drinking diet soda on a regular basis are overweight. I have learned a lot from a lot of your videos but this one makes some pretty shocking statements.. I think you need some more research. The literature on seed oils is everywhere on how bad they are for you.

Or maybe, just maybe, the patronizing tone of your oh so very insightful comment is a reason in why people are put off from educating themselves about fitness and nutrition, because we all know how condescension is SUCH a motivator to continue trying something.

[@BlessBeing]

Here are some reasons why water is better than diet soda: Hydration: Water is the best fluid for staying hydrated. It's essential for almost every function in your body, from helping organs work properly to maintaining your body's temperature. While diet sodas are mostly water, they also contain other ingredients that don't contribute to your body's hydration needs in the same way. No additives: Water doesn't contain additives like artificial sweeteners, colorings, or preservatives. these additives may have potential health concerns. Appetite regulation: There's some evidence suggesting that artificial sweeteners may interfere with your body's natural ability to regulate calorie intake based on the sweetness of foods. In other words, regularly consuming foods and drinks with artificial sweeteners might make you crave more sweet and high-calorie foods, potentially leading to overeating and weight gain in the long term. Oral health: While diet sodas don't contain sugar, they are acidic. Frequent consumption can contribute to dental erosion. Bone health: Some studies suggest a correlation between phosphoric acid, a common ingredient in many sodas, and lower bone density. Overall health: Regular water consumption can aid digestion, prevent constipation, and help the body flush out toxins. The benefits of drinking water far outweigh those of diet soda.

[@jdem4549]

[@TheSandkastenverbot]

The "oral health" and "bone health" arguments are spot on. 👍 Those two claims are probably the most uncontroversial when it comes to artificial sweeteners. Much more than "appetite regulation" which has been studied for decades now without any conclusive results. Taken together the effect of sweeteners to appetite is either weak or non-existent. But you might want to think again about the hydration and toxin part. Diet soda is still more than 99% water and toxins aren't "flushed out" by water. All that talk about toxins is mostly esoterics anyway.

I had great success switching to low sugar juice, diet pops, sugar free drinks especially when I first started my weight loss journey. And lived and still live my life on high volume foods and lean meats. I tend to make some homemade low sugar desserts as well. Now and days, I do tend to drink more water than other things.

[@OgdenM]

I'm glad you talk about the fact that we indeed do need to eat fat.. and that yah, polyunsaturated is better. But, so many people just cut out ALL fat and that's SO Bad for you. Fat is one of the three things that actually determines how long you remain satiated from a meal. The three are: Fat, Fiber and Protein. ____Also, just FYI: Taking fiber supplements if you're trying to eat less is 100% helpful. It helps fill you up because you take it with a lot of water. The fiber absorbs water in your stomach and expands which makes you feel fuller. It also has the added benefit of helping keep your digestive system working great. The longer you remain satiated, the less you end up eating. I personally can be totally happy just eating like two 500-600 calorie meals a day and snacking on 1/4 a cup of nuts and 1/2 of cheese twice a day. Which still makes being in a caloric deficient easy. Eat breakfast, snack twice during the day and eat 2 hours before bed and bam! Sure, I'm never actual FULL but ugh, being "Full" feels so utterly gross. I just eat till my stomach is like, "Yo dude, I'm good, stop" Which probably is when it's 1/2 full typically. My stomach outright revolts if I eat till I feel full. But, most of that is probably because of life long eating habits.

The sugar free drinks is SO TRUE. I started drinking Coca Cola Zero a few months back and I noticed I don't crave sweets anymore.

Cancer from aspartame doesnt worry you? All mentioned aspartame metabolites are toxic to the brain, aspartame is a multipotential carcinogen, even at a daily dose of 20 mg/kg of body weight, which is much lower than the official acceptable daily intake. People use it as a pesticide today becuase of how effective it is as a neuropoison. Much like the history of sugar, flouride, and other neurotoxins being granted approval....it wasnt done with your best interests at heart. I may sound crazy but look into the history of these things. Read into "THE ASPARTAME CONTROVERSY OF 1981 The Hidden Truth" by VirginiaTech undergraduate historical review.... "Although numerous studies were conducted documenting negative findings concerning the effects of aspartame, the sweetener remains legal, partially due to the political power of companies who manufacture it. In 1981, Ronald Reagan, with help from members of his transition team, including the CEO of G. D. Searle, Donald Rumsfeld, appointed Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes Jr. as the new FDA commissioner. Just weeks later, Rumsfeld submitted a reevaluation of aspartame and Hayes, ignoring the recommendations of several doctors, approved the substance for human consumption." Every rat in study grew massive tumors. When you realize that in ther 1970's neurological illness was 1 in 25,000 and today it is 1 of every 3. By 2025 it is reported it will be 1 every 2. I have concerns that it is our food that is poisoning us.

I think, eating sweet foods can lead to sugar cravings and can often lead to consuming more calories than necessary. This can be avoided by limiting the intake of added sugar and opting for natural sources of sugar, like fruits, which can provide the necessary nutrients and energy without leading to unnecessary cravings. I lost 35 pounds last year. I achieved this by drinking plenty of water throughout the day, avoiding sugary drinks, and being mindful of my overall calorie intake. I found that cutting out sugary drinks was one of the easiest ways to reduce my calorie intake without feeling deprived.

[@brandonklotz1207]

I think the switch to diet sodas keeping cravings away has to do with the carbonation of the soda combined with the sweetness like you said. I think the carbonation creates a sense of fullness in the stomach and the sweetness hits those cravings. I drink sparkling water and it has a similar effect maybe not as effective due to the reduced sweetness but it can be more beneficial to overall health. Aspartame and other artificial zero calorie sweeteners are not know to be the best thing for the body. That being said I’m all for diet sodas if it reduces people’s regular soda consumption. Just my two cents here.

Hey man, Great video, as someone who was consuming a large amount of soda or ice tea full of sugar, about 3 months ago I stopped consuming any processed sugars. At first it was difficult because I stopped all sugar cold turkey, so I was low on energy. But then to stop the shakes and low energy, I started to eat more fruits/veges like bananas, apple, blueberries, carrots, celerie etc. Now it has gotten to a point that if I have a sip of coke or a bite of chocolate, it is too sweet for me and I actually feel unwell, I have also replaced the caffeine that I get from coke with black coffee from ground coffee beans. I sit around and wonder, why do we eat all these processed sugar when nature just provides healthy just as sweet alternatives. Anyway thanks for the video. Subscribed.

This is great advice that i wish i had known sooner. Calorie restriction + eating filling foods (makes it much easier to sit at a lower daily calorie count) was by far the most potent combination for me (270 back under 200 now). I learned this the hard way since you just can't afford to spend your precious calories on empty sugary junk, doritos, or whatever, when heavily restricting. Not sure why this message isn't pushed harder. People seem to think that eating healthy is just eating the right foods, when it is also eating the right amounts of them.

[@explosev6513]

I’d love to see a video about sugar alternatives such as sucralose and stevia. I always see these being used in protein powders, yogurt, and drinks and am always second guessing if they’re truly better as an alternative. Not to mention there loads of misinformation out there saying all artificial sweeteners cause cancer or whatever.

[@SPAHI43]

try allulose, it's almost a perfect alternative for me, not nearly as bad as stevia

[@ghostflame9211]

As far as I’m concerned (I’m not a nutritionist or dietician, so take from that what you will), any alternative is better for you than sugar. Even aspartame, which has been proven to cause cancer (albeit only if you regularly consume ungodly amounts), I would argue is still better for your overall health. Reason being is i did an experiment in college where we boiled a pot of coke and a separate pot of Diet Coke all the way down. What we found left was a clear pot in one and black sludge in the other. The black sludge was the sugar from the regular Coke. Never again lol. Does that mean I completely avoid sugar? Of course not; my birthday is coming up so you bet your ass I’m gorging on a BJs pizookie. But as sucralose just tastes sweeter with less of it, you’ll never convince me it’s worse for me than sugar.

[@asciblue]

my opinion of sucralose is low, likely because I consumed a ton of it in the past cause I hate plain water. Side effects included brain fog and some digestive issues. I had stopped for about 6 months then picked it up again without issue but severely limited intake of it during that time. There is some research suggesting sucralose helps the body store fat too, so I'd wager while it's used in nearly every supplement on the market the reason people stay lean is the exercise. Your mileage may vary.

[@sucraloss]

There’s different levels for them. Added sugar is more or less the worst while natural low calorie sweeteners like pure stevia or pure monk fruit extract are the better sweeteners. Sugar alcohols are fine but don’t go overboard, erythritol generally is the best. But it is a high FODMAP sweetener so it can make you gassy or have an upset stomach. Allulose is comparable to erythritol, maybe a little better but still could give you gas/stomach pain. I’ve been using a bunch of different ones in my ninja creami and I’ve had the best results with pure monk fruit powder or stevia. NOT cut with erythritol because my gut does not like sugar alcohol. If you can eat it then you can go for the sugar alcohol or rare sugar like Allulose. Not a doctor but this has been my experience. If you really want to be super safe just go for monk fruit extract or stevia. But it’s worth seeing how you handle sugar alcohol and Allulose. Small amounts of aspartame, sucralose are okay just don’t go nuts. So Diet Coke is probably a no-go, but a packet of Splenda is no biggie.

One of the best things that helped me kick the sodas (which I wasn’t big on to begin with but definitely had my streaks of indulgence with) was carbonated water. I think my favorite brand so far has been the Waterloo drinks, they are naturally flavored, two ingredients, no bs. They not only disrupt predominantly drinking water with something that hits like a soda, but they’re actually tasty, I think it’s really all you need. I find these to be preferable to zero sugar sodas/diet drinks from an actual health standpoint as artificial sweeteners and colorings could potentially be linked to cancer and what not. In the roughly three months I’ve been consistent, I’ve gone from about 207lbs to 193lbs currently. Everything about this process is mental, and I feel incredible. If you’re reading this and are contemplating starting your journey or you’re smack dab in the middle of it and need some motivation: trust me, you’ve got this🔒

I get a Mi0 water sweetener, i was never a soda drinker but i loved some koolaide...i gave koolaide up a long time ago though. I'm a person that loves my baked dessarts, so i got a no sugar cherry pie from a farmers market...the whole pie is 300 calories and is really good. I get one now everytime i go food shopping. That satisfies my sweet tooth. I still have back fat and lower stomach fat thats hard to get rid of so i made this change and I'm seeing results but not there yet. Donuts are my favorite i was kickin and screaming giving them up. Theres no healthy version where the donut actually tastes like a donut, so i just gave them up! I also eat as a snack is canned pumpkin, fruit, nonfat greek yogurt and raw honey....you can use a vegan whipped cream instead of yogurt and honey. I use greek yogurt for the protein. I try not to snack but if i do...its popcorn, fruit, peanuts, pumpkin, yogurt or pistachios once per day if i get the urge. I eat two meals a day... Breakfast and dinner.

J., I've found that drinking our favorite sugar free drink indeed keeps the craving of "sinful" treats at bay. So, you are absolutely right. Just a footnote for us women: cellulite increases. One has to choose. Thanx for the informative video.

[@alexe9325]

This video is gold, really helpful thanks man

[@SYPCWAK]

Thanks for another informative video!! I've eliminated all of those bad foods you mentioned from my diet and have dropped 20lbs in the past 8 months. I stopped drinking sugary drinks 4 years ago but I didn’t switch to the non-sugar alternatives. I don’t believe in switching sugar for factory-made chemicals. I prefer to just avoid them all. One mindset change I use in helping me avoid unhealthy foods is to say to myself, “That’s what fat people eat.” Since I no longer put myself in that group, I pass on it and consume something more healthy.

[@girlyguidetolife]

I love that sentence! That’s what fat people ear , I am going to try it but not just to eating but to everything…thank you!

[@SYPCWAK]

@@girlyguidetolife You're most welcome! It's been working for me. I'm starting to see my abdominals and I love it!! Sure I miss french fries and onions rings but that's what fat people eat. 😃

[@curiousconsultant7922]

I can definitely see how the switch from coke to diet coke makes a difference. I used to think this whole 0 fat thing was a label lie designed to sell more coke and that if you wanna lose weight you can't be worrying about if coke is good or not but should avoid it altogether. But after many years of failures and shame surrounding eating habbits I understood that unless you're enjoying what you eat you will never succeed and a diet coke has had 0 negative effect on my overall diet in fact it did for me the same as those test subjects, made me less likely to crave sweets. It may not be for everyone but diet coke is not the enemy

[@pepecebolla69]

Totally agree on the diet soda. I've started consuming Coke Zero and it really helps me replace some of my snacking. The only problem is that I'm tending to drink more and more Coke Zero, almost more than water lol

[@stargeezer57]

Artificial sugars trick your insulin response.

[@marco7838]

Just limit your consumption. Its a good alternative and can be seen as something to look forward to when drinking with a meal

[@ali3686]

U gotta stop drinking it. The long term effects of drinking this shit is unknown and could be very bad for your health.

[@grrinc]

I found carbonated water was a good alternative. It felt like a treat. I always have a squeezed lemon per day anyway so I combined the two.

[@BlackDiamond269-e9g]

Please research diet cokes. Just because it doesn't have sugar, doesn't mean it's anyway healthy. I know it's how everyone see it.

[@anekiecampbell]

You do not even know that this is what I've been looking for alllllll my entire life of trying to loose belly fat. It's hard for me to know the difference in high and low calories foods No matter how much I do my research. And you explaining this. I've never come across a video that truly explains this. So easy to understand. Thank you thank you thank you sooooooooo much.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I'm subscribing. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

You changed my life friend, thank you. I was inspired by a video you did years ago, and oddly enough, I came up with "my own" method, which you basically just said in the video, is what I should do lol. So thanks again! :D

instead of diet soda, i just drink kombucha. super low calorie, delicious and good for you. i do sometimes drink sugar free redbull as well.

[@2thankyou4watching]

I have two 15 lbs dumbbells I do squats, deadlifts, hammer curls, triceps extensions, side lunges. I jog to warm up when I feel ready I start side lunges & squats no resistance, then I move into the 15 lbs resistance. Im doing this 30 minutes to an hour a day or near daily. What do I roughly burn in calories? Im trying to get an rough estimate of what I burn doing this? It is light to moderate intensity.

[@DIDYOUSEETHAT172]

My Blue smoothie, 1 cup blueberries, thumb length bitter melon, cucumber, 1/2 cup frozen avocado, 1 stalk celery, (collagen powder, whey powder, combined to equal about 24 grams protein) green powder sweetened with stevia only, green tea to thin out, 2 tblsp extra virgin olive oil, 2 tblsp ground flax seeds. By whole flax and ground as needed in coffee grinder. The pre ground flax oxidizes as fast as you open the package. Blend the crap out of it, and swallow one cap concentrated wild caught salmon oil. High fiber, filling, does not weigh you down, absolutely no cravings for hours after.

[@GiveMeCoffee]

6:30 here it would be interesting to learn about their lipid composition. Loved this video, it synthesized lots of information I was trying to explain to my partner about how we need different nutritional strategies since our bodies have different tendencies and we have different endocrine conditions to consider that affect how our bodies manage fat.

[@fitnytech]

A little progress each day adds up to big results.

[@WhateverNameIsStillAvailable]

Yeah I'm still staying away from seed oils. 😏 But I agree with you about the artificial sweeteners. People demonize them because they don't know what's going to happen long term but short term there is still no evidence that they do harm so I keep enjoying my occasional soda and energy drink. Water is still king though and should be the bulk of your liquids. If not for weightloss, do it for your teeth.

[@shehannirosh7936]

Please do a video on skinny fat

[@juicebox86]

I've also noticed increased hunger with drinking plain water throughout the day. I observe time restricted feeding, only eating between 1pm-7pm. Drinking sugar-free carbonated water has helped immensely with curbing my hunger prior to 1pm. Comment poll: Whats the best carbonated water? I like Bubbly and La Croix....

[@MrCharlesEldredge]

I like Aha the best.

[@dizzyblizzytheclown]

I had the same issue and I used to drink so much soda. Sugar-free sparkling water helped tremendously with my hunger and soda craving since the bubbles are a huge pull for me. I like La Croix the best. Sometimes if I want something tart I'll drink Spindrift's Raspberry Lime flavor, it's 5 calories and 1g of sugar from the added raspberry and lime juice.

[@hemanth214]

I saw full video but didnt understood much but the comments understood me very well

[@FabioPedrazzoliGrazioli]

Great video thanks, the only comment I have is about the "sugar free" drinks, often they contain artificial sweeteners like Aspartame which are neurotoxic. I just use carbonated water, or water and ice blended, with a little bit of freshly squeezed fruit juice or some herbal or fruit pieces squeezed or added to the glass for flavour into it, some of the herbals taste great like mint, ginger etc.

[@frechtv2389]

Very good Video and most important it shows that you doesnt need low carb diet or fasting or whatever but just an awareness of what is healthy and what not.

[@boomkruncher325zzshred5]

Lately, instead of soda like Mountain Dew or Pepsi or Root Beer, I’ve been drinking these Mio flavor enhancers. Essentially, 1-2 squeezes per water bottle (3-4 for bigger bottles) and my water tastes like something that has more calories, WITHOUT ADDING ANY SIGNIFICANT CALORIES. Mio also have a caffeine variant so I can also get that mild caffeine boost I would normally get from the Pepsi sodas (Pepsi product sodas often have a decent amount of caffeine). Same soda-like taste, same soda energy boost from caffeine, the only problem is no carbonation. If I invest in a Soda Stream or some other home carbonation system, that could be solved. I have noticed a drop in weight recently, and I’m sure cutting out sodas and using these water flavor enhancers is a key reason for that.

[@DanielM.-mq4rm]

Great video and examples. Regarding suger free drinks: Simply dont drink soda or other sweet drinks on a regular basis if possible. You will ajust after a few days and not have the urge to consume so much sweet stuff at all. You don't need sweeteners or sugger anymore as soon as your taste has adjusted to the "new" taste of your food

[@RockinRedbyrd]

Thanks for the info. Well for me, recently from my own experience of drinking sweet tasting 0 calorie drinks has given me a preference of water over 0 sugar. I think maybe good for weight loss but not so good for the body or my body organs. But Thanks again Jeremy. Love your videos.

[@Ffar2578]

Hi Jeremy, can you make a video on when to workout for night shift, rotating shift workers, 7 to 7 am/ pm doctors, nurses. There isnt much reliable content out there on the internet. It would be very helpful. Thank you for all the lovely content, it has benefitted greatly.

[@Extiiinct]

Can you suggest a sugar free drink that doesn't have poison in it like Aspartame?

[@hisdudeness690]

There is none. Possibly stevia but we don't know. There is still a lot that we don't know about the effect of artificial sweeteners long-term, especially generational ones. I would not consume them regularly (especially not daily), instead having a well-rounded diet that contains all the essential macro and micronutrients required for our body to function.

[@Handygrrl]

Stevia totally ruins your gut biome. Research it

[@Thesnuffy36]

I would love to see some more videos directed toward women in the gym. I love your channel but the majority are more geared towards men. There’s a lot of science behind syncing the female reproductive cycle to your intensity and volume during workouts. I’d also love a deep dive into how the difference in our hormones can effect the rate we can put on muscle. Im a huge fan of your work!

[@JustinLipshitz-n8y]

Great video. Surprised about the sugar free drinks. What I read was the body thinks it’s getting sugar and secretes grellin in anticipation but when it doesn’t receive the sugar it expected it causes you to crave sugar even more creating sugar cravings. Anyways I don’t think it cause any major weight gain in moderation but I do notice overweight people do tend to drink diet drinks with little benefit

[@TheDougDaniel]

Plenty of formerly-overweight people drink diet drinks too. If 10 overweight people replaced soft drinks with diet soft drinks, and 9 of them lost weight but 1 didn't, that 1 person who is still overweight doesn't negate the 9 that did lose weight. And that's assuming they're even trying to lose weight - sometimes people make a conscious choice to consume the calories they're "saving" through food instead.

[@kalaiarasimohan5625]

[@Gebunator]

I found this excellent thing to combat sugar cravings. Our local store has these glucose drops. Suckling one gets rid of sugar tooth and perks up you a little, better than any energy drink. Heck, thanks to conscription, I learned the value of juice concentrations in hydration. Even bit of juice concentration in water just doesn't make any cravings pop up. But yeah, been piocking videos to watch from this channel, I've been lazy ass junk food binging for 5+ years and I figured it's time to start slowly changing back to more healthier and active lifestyle. Step by step.

not sure about number one, I lost lots of fat when i stopped eating sugar and was enjoying some extremely calorie dense pork belly, bacon, eggs and butter.
