Obviously, it’s still possible to lose weight on any diet - just eat fewer calories than you burn, right? The problem with this simplistic advice is that it ignores the elephant in the room: hunger. Most people don’t like to “just eat less,” as it may result in having to go hungry forever. Sooner or later, many will likely give up and eat without restriction, hence the prevalence of “yo-yo dieting.” While it should be possible to lose weight on any diet, some appear to make it easier and some to make it much harder. The main advantage of the low-carb diet is that it may cause you to want to eat less. Even without counting calories, overweight people tend to eat fewer calories on low carbs. Thus, calories count, but you don’t need to count them.

Diabetes is a barrier between blood sugar and glycogen storage. Type 1 is caused by a weak and failing pancreas (usually the immune system has attacked it) that doesn't produce insulin (in significant quantities if at all). Type 2 is the cells are unresponsive to insulin - usually because the receptor sites are clogged up with fat.

I’m from Thailand and follow your channel for a year. I like the way of your explanation; especially, the cause and effect of a ton of glucose digesting. “Glucose” is “Glucose”. Our body doesn’t know where it came from. I think we can control our glucose in the bloodsteam by optimizing or balancing our food intake, resting and activities (exercises). Moreover, I’m looking forward to watching your insulin and diabetes video. Thank you for the excellent topic.

[@d.porter3142]

What he didn't talk about was that added sugars, especially high-fructose corn syrup, are more readily stored as fat in the liver itself leading to fatty liver disease, they produce AGEs (Advanced Glycation End Products) which directly damage cells, and they cause a systemic inflammation response resulting in vessel damage and many other disorders. It's excess refined sugar and HFCS that actually cause many of the heart and vascular conditions blamed on dietary cholesterol. Cholesterol is a vital substance which your body actually needs and literally produces on its own. But when excess sugar damages your vessels, cholesterol is part of the body's attempts to fix the problem. When you keep your body in a constant state of inflammation, cholesterol builds up and can result in atherosclerosis, heart damage, etc.

[@horrovac]

What I'm missing here is the issue of _refined_ sugar. It is not sugar per se that is dangerous, it's the refined version, which can be absorbed very quickly. This triggers an insulin surge, and can be one of the factors for Type 2 diabetes because the cells develop a tolerance for insulin. Sugar in fruit and natural foods is absolutely fine. For one, there is not much of it compared to the other stuff like fibre. A litre of orange juice contains juice from 2kg of oranges - you can easily drink a litre of juice, you'll struggle to eat 2kg of oranges. It also isn't as immediately available as the refined sugar. A significant part of the sugar is locked within the cells of your fruit and veg, and it takes time to break this matrix down and absorb the sugar. And you get all that fibre as well (juicing is stupid, ask any dietician).

[@thebraininsideahead]

sugar is sugar your body is trying to refine it when it breaks it down with digestion that is refined sugar and right when at the instannce in the moment you absorb it it is refined and your body wants to absorb the refined version because thats what it is trying to do when your body goes through the process becoming processed sugar and at the given time when its done breaking down the fibre there is o way you're not absorbing the same refined sugar as you would straight from the bag thats what your body is goiing for anyways it prefers it youre trying to give yourself direct access to the straight up available sugar and in the end that is what you get your body extracts it all the same you don't need to have a filter your body is 100% efficient at utilizing sugar , the sugar phobic community is insane.

[@horrovac]

@@thebraininsideahead Try using some interpunction, this is outright painful to read and makes your comment seem even sillier than it is already. *Of course* sugar is sugar, and at the point when it is being used in your body there is no difference whether it came from an apple or from a bag of sugar, but there is bloody well a difference in terms of how it is absorbed within your body. Which is the whole bloody point of my post. When you consume refined sugar it goes into your metabolism all at once, and your body has to work hard to keep this surge down, counteracting it by a surge of insulin and converting it into fatty tissue. But when the sugar is released slowly - as is the case when you're digesting fruit and vegetables - there is no emergency and the sugar gets consumed during the normal operation of the body. You surely *must* understand the difference between downing a bottle of wine, and drinking it with a meal during the course of an evening, don't you? There is nothing "sugar phobic" in my comment, quite the opposite: I'm stating that the bad consequences of consuming sugar are not connected to all types of sugar, and that you *CAN* consume it from the fruit and vegetables without problems. You can also consumed refined sugar without problems, but only when you're doing heavy exercise and burn it off immediately. So do us all a favour and learn to read (and write) before embarrassing yourself with such a comment.

You should be avoiding anything from a box or a package. Stick to wholefoods and you can't go wrong.

[@chinoscars5655]

I stopped eating anything with added sugar in boxes or sodas. Regular soda is bad with the added sugar. I drink diet coke and water only. Ever since I left the added sugars and got my sugars from berries and veggies I have felt better. Avoid anything that has added sugar. Theres snacks with sugar free but those are bad too but not nearly as bad as regular table sugar.

[@caracho7191]

Yeah. For example if I buy a whole piece of cheese (haha that rhymes xD ) there´s no sugar in it. But if I buy the same cheese presliced, sugar has been added. Same with sausage for bread. The sugar helps to maintain color and keep the food from becoming bad.

[@cvgodd1432]

So true.. I just try to avoid the obvious ones like candy, soda and most juice. A can of Pepsi has a ridiculous amount of sugar. I can barely finish a can but some people will drink 7 to 10 of them a day and wonder why they’re fat. Soda needs to be regulated more, there should be a limit on the sugar they can put. This is what causes severe obesity, food can only get you so big. I never met a obese person who doesn’t drink a ton of soda. One thing my mom did was stop buying soda for the house and she will buy a few bottles of juice. She would say if you want it go buy it yourself, I’m never buying soda for the house again. All my friends would always tell me I never have anything to eat in my house. My parents didn’t buy junk food, everything had to be cooked. If they did buy some junk food my brother would demolish it in one sitting! Lol I was always 150 to 170 lbs at 6 ft I recently got to 190. The lockdown really got to me lol.

I think this video actually helped me understand why I'm hyperglycemic; I've always been on the taller and skinnier side, quite lean with a somewhat toned amount of muscle. It's extremely difficult for me to gain a significant amount of fat and I've never been fat or able to put on large amounts of it. So it seems that, if my body is unable to store that much glycogen in my muscles or my liver, and I am unable to remove the glucose from my blood by turning it into fat, then much more of my glucose would remain in my blood then the average person who can put on more fat than I can, hence the tendency for my blood sugar levels to be high and for me to be hyperglycemic/prediabetic. I'm trying to understand anatomy and my body better so I can adjust my diet and daily eating habits to better lower my blood sugar level so I can avoid developing Type 2 Diabetes, so this video has been somewhat helpful. Thank you!

Please keep making these videos. They are so informative and so helpful you guys are fantastic.

[@mindspace3863]

This has been very helpful and clear. I eat healthy 99% of the time though so I can replenish my body with nutrients, just eating sugar (which typically comes in high amounts) causes oxidative stress on your cells making the aging process speed up. As well as not eating foods rich in antioxidants (such as donuts, that basically have no nutrients or antioxidants) isn't going to ve good for anyone. Micro nutrients such as the B vitamins also help with energy conversion so if you eating food high in sugar (again mainly junk) you won't really feel energetic or motivated.

@@joey_5060 I am not a medical doctor but a biologist. Sugar feeds all cells. Cancer cells tend to have a faster growth rate and therefor need more nutrients to keep up with the pace. This is what we do in the lab when we culture certain types of cancer cells: we have specific media with a high glucose content. This is the theory but restricting your diet to cauliflower is not going to cure you. Listen to your doctor, get proper care and try to keep up with a healthy lifestyle.

Erythritol, xylitol, stevia, allulose, monkfruit are all great alternatives to glucose and fructose. Make sure it's non-gmo and preferably organic. Xylitol even cleans your teeth while you eat it.

Make sure 2/3-3/4 of each meal is whole food. Complex carbs, vegetables, fruits and some lean protein. Search youtube for how to make Egg foo young and make that for breakfast. Once you do it a few times, having vegetables with eggs is so easy and delicious. Lots of salads with a little protein sprinkled on top, and a homemade extra virgin olive oil, a little high quality vinegar and some garlic Mrs. Dash dried herbs and voila--healthy dressing used sparingly (make sure your salad veggies are dry, it helps with even distribution of the dressing. It's so easy to eat healthy once you start to do it. For example, if you make dinner the night before and use some of the same veggies for egg foo young the next day, chop a little extra at night so breakfast is faster.

Yes, it’s very important for men to keep up with pelvic floor exercises. Kegel exercises for men can strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder and bowel and affect sexual function (erectile dysfunction) which statistically is rampant. Most men over 35 have used a pill out of necessity to function sexually when they could be doing exercises to combat the effects of erectile dysfunction. Oh and stopping porn use helps with erectile dysfunction because of the dopamine dumps.
