Why We Overeat, How to Help Obese Kids and The Real Root of Relpase | Interview with Dr. Doug Lisle

[@flmusicvegan1768]

I wish everyone would listen to Dr. Lisle.

[@gosiakonstanty3456]

Dr Lisle is the best psychologist that I ever heard. Wow, he's incredible, everybody should listen to hin

[@calengr1]

55:12 how much to consume ? Lisle answer 1 pound salad, 1 lb steam veg, 1 lb fruit . Then add starches----oatmeal, rice, pasta as needed

[@Falafelzebub]

15 years ago I was obese, more than 100 pounds over my healthy weight. I managed to lose 70, and keep them off. But I stalled, and it wasn't until I found your channel and bought your "Secrets to Ultimate Weight Loss" that I have been able to go the rest of the way I needed to go. I have now reached a total loss of 100 pounds, and have a normal BMI. I still have a way to go, as I do not want to stay at the upper end of my healthy weight range, but with the help of your book and these wonderful lectures I know I will get there. Thank you so much Chef AJ!

[@Jenny-nz5fh]

Thank you so much. I love Dr Lisle's brain.

[@veganlife24]

Hi Chef AJ - This has been the best interview to date between you and Dr. Lisle! It was incredibly informative and helpful. I was honored to meet Dr. Lisle at a Farms 2 Forks weekend retreat many years ago and look forward to meeting you in person someday. Thanks for all your great work!! Jan

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you

[@The_Beautiful_Ones]

These talks and conclusions on the mental part of it especially by Dr. Lisle are GOLD!

[@alexisshaw3634]

I could sit and talk to Dr. Lisle all day. He is so smart and has a way of explaining things that make so much sense. I hear the same stuff over and over watching interviews and speakers talk about this lifestyle. Dr. Lisle offers a fresh new perspective every time. He is still saying the same thing, just explains it in a way that opens ones mind.

[@bonnieweston255]

Thank you to you both. You are such a blessing to all of us. Grateful for both of you this Holiday season !!!!!!!!!!

[@shess1640]

What a gift this message...no ...this information and perspective on emotional eating is. Thank you for making the effort and taking your time (both of you!) to put this out on a holiday weekend. Dr Lisle’s centered energy and pleasant / persistent communication is settling right at home with me. Happy Holidays to you all. And he used the word “Odyssey” to describe our lives...which tickled me to no end.

[@sandracarli1110]

I agree with Dr Lisle. I ate a big salad and steamed veggies. Then I ate rice with veggies and I still got cravings. I guess it was because I had limited the carbs (I had had just a cup each of oats and rice). Thank you very much for the interview! One incredible thing Chef AJ. Can you believe this? I saw the clip of an athlete and in the end she bit her gold medal. The medal looked so much like a giant potato chip that I got cravings for chips :-D Thank God my environment was clean!

[@CHEFAJ]

Eat more starch!

[@megatuanis]

That's funny, that the gold medal became a trigger for you. I've found that keeping bananas handy all the time saves me from cravings completely. If I ever get a craving for anything at all, I eat a banana or two, and craving disappears. Although ever since going 100% plant-based the cravings keep decreasing.

[@sandracarli1110]

@@megatuanis Yes, that was sooo funny! What saves me is usually veggies. The cravings disappear when I eat a lot of them. Sometimes I don't like eating bananas because I crave something salty.

[@roxantyke6087]

[@cindysutherland1121]

I'm only 8 minutes into this but I have to stop & say...it takes some real self love & self honesty to even begin to understand what this man is saying & everyone's extremely fortunate that this woman (AJ) has facilitated it. My perspective & what I know to be true from my life experience is that emotions are wonderful things that are "guideposts" in life to direct you through your journey with unadulterated feedback. Until you realize that you need to deal with the situation in front of you or what happened in the past & not focus on the fact that your not OK with what happened will you stop the ridiculous blaming of emotional eating which has really nothing to do with food & bodily hunger. You're hungry all right, but it isn't for food. Triggers are your great way of recognizing your emotions (tools) & embracing yet another opportunity to deal with what is happening/what happened before & the fact that you get to deal with it & get it out of there. Until you deal with you & work on the root cause, not the fact that you can't handle it, will you come to see the profoundness of what Doug's saying. Are you going to get crazy & eat a dozen donuts or whatever because you planned a camping trip & it's raining outside? Why don't you choose to be thankful water's coming from the sky & how amazingly beautiful it is that you get to experience it instead of the fact that you're not ok with it. Life will be lighter, happier & more enjoyable when you welcome & serve every moment in front of you & thank your emotions for guiding you along the way to a beautiful life. You'll have a miserable life otherwise with all the blaming of everything & everyone else on your "emotional eating" that really is a self torture, ridiculous notion. After all - acid is falling from the sky on Venus or Mars, I can't remember which it is. Embrace feelings/emotions with grace, FEEL them, use them for what they're intended for & then let them go. Start deciding to love yourself & respond accordingly how a human being would act. Basically relax into what's happening, allow it, decide to let it go & surrender to life. If there's something to really deal with after that then do it...but calling "emotional eating" because you're actually not ok in your head is BS & you'll get served up another lesson by this great universe to try again.

[@suemoshier5475]

I agree.

I have had great success with Dr. Fuhrman's seed/nut based dressings and sauces on my raw and cooked veggies. I believe in the importance of omega 3s and fats for brain health and preventing dementia, and it also allows me to eat a more comfortable amount of food.

I’ve watched to so many of these videos and I learn something new with each. This one was particularly enlightening, thank you! I appreciate the food quantity guideline as well, I’m one of those people who do well “checking off boxes.”

Okay, this one is VITAL! Eye-opening, mind-blowing, and life-saving. (Life on Earth, that is. 😍)

[@linzertube]

Great information, as usual! Much appreciated, Dr. Lisle and Chef AJ!

[@chamonixb5132]

This was a very interesting talk, but I disagree that children have a harder time wanting to lose weight. When I was 12/13 I went on the McDougall diet myself and started exercising and lost 20 lbs and have kept it off for 4 years.

[@ruthruthless]

Thanks for the video. I'm still waiting for a response from Klaper regarding my possible bloating and in parallel I made an appointment with a local GI doctor but that will be in late February. Meanwhile trying to stay away from the processed food as usual since that is the only thing that seems to help with what might be bloating, my stomach distention after food as well as general stomach being large in proportion to the rest of my body unless I completely avoid processed food for several months and exercise vigorously regularly - at which point I go from normal 20 BMI down to 17.5 BMI so I'm not sure which state is better, being bloated on a 90+ percent whole plant food protocol with occasional junk food binges at normal BMI or being less bloated on a 100 percent whole plant food protocol (with some more calorie dense healthy foods still incorporated in moderation) but underweight BMI. I tried to google this and I couldn't find any numbers. I am wondering if I am pathologizing just normal stomach behaviour - is it normal stomach distention for waist size (measuring the slimmest part of my abdominal region) to increase 5 cm after food and stay that way the entire day until after I had 8 hours sleep? If it's just how my stomach is supposed to act then so be it, I will just eat as healthy as I can and try not to think about it... but if it's something I can change without going crazy I'd like to know. I mean, we are supposed to eat until we're full so this is sustainable... trying to get used to eat less food sounds to me like a one way exit to the pleasure trap. As for the proper amount of food, I start the day with a vegetable salad, I guess it's a pound or almost a pound. Sometimes I have it with almonds or tahini, the occasional whole wheat bread but most days it's just the vegetables. Sometimes I go for two of these. Then I go for some fruits, a pound sounds about right. Then I make a stew, that's about two pounds. And if I am still hungry after that I snack on fruits and vegetable salads... if I am really hungry, for example the day after a really long run, I might have a second stew. That doesn't sound to me like overeating, doesn't feel to me like overeating... sometimes I have more calorie dense foods like medjool dates, put some tofu in my stews and the tahini, whole wheat bread and almonds mentioned above so I don't avoid calorie dense healthy foods completely, I have one or two servings of them several times a week... when I have them it doesn't feel satiating, I feel like no matter what I always have to have those 4-6 pounds a day to feel satiated. It doesn't hurt. No problems digesting. I just have stomach distention. I don't feel like adding more calorie dense foods will help my stomach distend less, I end up wanting to activate my stretch receptors the same amount... and trying to regulate feels like trying to regulate how much air I breathe, part of what I like about whole plant food diet is I can eat as much as I want... does that mean I just need to accept having a constantly distended stomach?

[@CHEFAJ]

Why not book a consult with a TrueNorth medical doctor?

[@ruthruthless]

@@CHEFAJ I only saw on the site an option to apply for coming to TrueNorth health center.

[@ruthruthless]

I got a response from Klaper's staff and his time costs a lot and I'm afraid all he will have to say is take probiotics so I am considering maybe just giving up on this issue and accepting my limitations and/or wait until February for advice from local GI doctor.

[@megatuanis]

@@ruthruthless you can get a free consult at FastingEscape.com. I just saw that video on chef AJ's channel. The Dr on the video says he'll talk to you for free. Of course, we should assume it won't be a full blown consultation, but at least he can give you some direction.

[@ruthruthless]

@@megatuanis that consult is based on me applying for fasting, isn't it?

[@wadepatton2433]

Wow, somewhat surprised to hear that folks are "universally" converted after spending time at True North or a similar retreat with all that great food! I turned myself around a few years back--just from books and shows/videos by the Good Docs many of us now know. Being quite capable and used to making my own meals went heavily in my favor I suppose. Very sad that so few folks prepare their own food these days. Eat well!

[@calengr1]

37:22 can PT override conscientiousness?

[@kathleendonohoe3330]

Hello Chef AJ In regards to fasting....I find I can't last more than 4 days when I'm home....doing it myself. I Live in Ireland and cannot afford to go to Dr. Goldhamers TrueNorth. I came across Dr Valter Longo on you tube and ended up buying his book on the fast mimicking diet....it's 5 days of restricted calories but backed by science . I don't understand why he recommends a little fish and for healthy fats he includes olive oil . I know I won't eat fish as I'm vegan but I'm very curious what you and my other gurus(Dr. Gregory, Dr. Colin Campbell, and Dr Doug Lisle and Dr Alan Goldhammer) think of his research?

[@forisma]

43:00 Issue of eating to the point of bloating Thank you so much for this information! This theory is really helpful because I experienced this myself. Myself, I stopped the McDougal style of eating (no oil) because my hands always reached for the calorie dense foods like nuts and pasta, but those are way too big triggers for me. If I have to eat those to get the right caloric density for my body, I feel like crap after overeating on those - because I just can't stop eating them. The advise of starting the meal with starches wouldn't work, because even fat starches like whole oats are not calorie dense enough. So I decided to start adding oil again. I was afraid at first but it went really well! I find my satisfaction and I don't overeat, because oil is being consumed in the food. Unlike nuts and pasta, oil doesn't have the same effect when the food gets so attractive I cannot stop anymore. This applies only for adding oils in modest amounts, I use e.v. olive and flax seed oils. Preferably raw after cooking, but I use olive oil for frying the vegetables for soup as well, or frying the vegan burgers. As long as my food doesn't taste greasy oil is my preferred way of increasing caloric density to the comfortable level.

[@elizabethfletcher1487]

On the McDougall Diet I was perpetually cold and had some other issues that I took up withTrue North. I was advised to add a little fat to my diet. I have the same problem with palatable seeds and nuts that you have and cannot have them in the house. Instead, I added ground flax seed and ground chia seed to my oat bran and that seemed to do the trick for me, overnight. Impossible to overeat on either of those unless you add sugar, which, in the immortal words of Mary Poppins, a spoonful of which helps anything go down.

[@forisma]

@@elizabethfletcher1487 do you eat bran? By the way, I don't have any issue with seeds, only with nuts.

[@scottparttimechef4981]

Looooooooove you guys!!!♥️🌸❤️🌸♥️🌸

[@scorpiochic2]

I tend to eat less at night and workout fasted in the am, am thinking I could add my potato to first meal rather then bulks greens that make me feel bloated all day, does anyone have experience with this?

[@kencarey3477]

Dr furman. And dr greger push beans in a big way. How many do you eat and recommend.

[@CHEFAJ]

I eat no beans and no nuts and I am still alive. Go figure.

[@elizabethfletcher1487]

Oh, Chef AJ, you finally made me love you! I despise beans and force them down every day. You have liberated me!

[@CarolynHemphill14]

Very helpful information from Dr. Lisle as always. I have found that when I have water fasted for several days my appetite disappears after day 2. My house could be filled with trigger foods and I could easily turn away from them while fasting. I believe there is a hormonal component to all of this involving insulin, blood glucose and other hormones as well. Perhaps if total starches are too high, although they are beneficial foods, in some of us it creates a hormonal situation that promotes over consumption. I have found this to be the case in particular with refined sugar and sugar/ fat combinations but perhaps even high amounts of natural starches could overwhelm certain people’s ability to control their intake. I believe Dr. Oliveros had information about leptin and insulin resistance that may apply here. Any thoughts on this would be very appreciated!

[@CHEFAJ]

Then don't eat and sugar/fat combinations. I never do. Sugar and fat never appear together in nature. Nor do they appear with salt.
