The Truth about Diet and Weight Loss
I want to talk tonight about weight loss. It’s a subject everyone is worried about. And the problem is that diets don’t work. Everybody has tried a diet. I haven’t met a person yet that’s hasn’t tried something, from kids to people in their eighties; everybody has tried some kind of diet and they just don’t work. In recent studies when they looked at a lot of their major diets (some good one’s, Atkins, The Zone), they put them all together statistically and found a ten pound weight loss on average. Now, these people lost a hundred pounds and gained it back of course. But, all that work, all that money, all those videos, for ten pounds of weight loss?
So the truth is, we have to find a life style that will allow you to stay at a weight that is healthy for you. That’s a much different way of thinking than all this crash dieting that goes on. What you have to learn is how to take care of yourself; you have to learn the appropriate foods; you have to make better choices. That’s the only way it’s going to work.

Thank you. You …
Thank you. You said it right: Take care of yourself. Dont beat up your body with bad eating habits and inactivity-pay attention to what you put in your mouth and what your body is telling you. Your body is truly a temple.
nice video thanks.. …
nice video thanks.. what is a good replacement for bread as I think it probably has a high GI value? I have sandwitches at lunch and mid morning snack and this may be hindering weight loss.
Lol.
Lol.
Yea! Screw the …
Yea! Screw the stupid dictionary. you’re smarter than the people the write dictionaries and doctor that made the video! Becoming more education is for noobs!
screw the stupid …
screw the stupid dictionary. a diet that works for you, could not work for someonse. The term DIET si so over used. a diet is just waht you eat… what is your diet… everyone has on. its not just something someone does to loose weight. diet means food consumption. so which means you fuking eat to much on a regular basis. having more than 1 definition shows you that people need to be controlled. If changing the definition helps, then do it. don’t try to sell me that crap….
Look up the word …
Look up the word diet in a dictionary smart guy.
Sometimes words have more than one definition.
weight loss is gay. …
weight loss is gay. by definition of diet is jsut what you eat… so sading a diet doesnt work is like a stupid paradox. The only way to loos weight is self control… and i didnt get a ph.d for that. simple fact. Learn laws of thermodynamics. Energy in= energy out + storage + usage. This does not just refer to vehicles. Everything uses the laws of physics. YOu eat to much if your storing calories. either than, or you dont burn enough energy/calories
through age …
through age regression hypnosis I found that over eating and a lack of desire to exersize has an emotional association. something happened making them drawn to eating to make them FEEL better as a distraction to FEELING bad. If you can consciously overcome it generally they will tranfer it to something else like gambling, anger or sadness. associative memory is very important in behavior modification.
I know it may seem …
I know it may seem like less of a problem, but I’ve lost too much weight and have no idea how to gain it back. I eat eggs like no other, but cant seem to bulk back up. Regular exercise/weight lifting just makes me skinny and even some of my family is worried. I know there’s probably something I should be eating, but I just don’t know.
people are just …
people are just looking for an easy way out & other people are taking advantage of that & creating bogus diet ideas that these desperate people will waist their money on these bogus ideas, weight loss is obvious but there is no easy way out, stop sugary drinks, drink water & greed tea & skim milk, eat more vegitables & all breads should be wheat, also walk or do some sort of cardio, cut out junk food & don’t over eat
Everyone has tried …
Everyone has tried a diet? I highly doubt it, for the very fact that *I* have never tried a diet. The farthest I got to the idea of dieting is eating a lot of Special K cereal, but not really because of its promise for weight loss but because I was obsessed with the taste that it seemed as if I was eating it for the diet but really wasn’t. I love Special K so much.
Oh and surprise …
Oh and surprise surprise, no loss of lean tissue or lowering of my metabolism. Not preaching or criticising but EATSTOPEAT is the best fat loss book and website i have come across. No more obsessing over what i eat anymore and my fat is lost. Just friendly advice people. Good luck to those looking to get into shape.
Intermittent …
Intermittent fasting plus resistence training is the best and most effective method for fat loss. EATSTOPEAT explains it best and no, i’m not a rep 4 it lol. Reason diets fail is they are too rigid.Only eat these foods, only eat at these times of the day, always eat breakfast. Thought this would be promising viewing this but its just the same as all the rest. Since when is breakfast so crucial??? As long as u fast intermittently AND weight train the fat is lost. I know from the results i’ve had.
I love your videos …
