I also never quite understood this argument. Me throwing food away is not exactly taking it from starving people. And if I don't know any starving people I can go and give it to, it doesn't really matter. My body is not a garbage disposal. If I made it and I hate it, I don't gotta eat it. That being said, ruining food so I won't go and eat it just smacks of eating disorder logic. If I don't want to eat something, I'll throw it away, not pour salt all over it.

I believe I would like dr. Mike as a provider, except I live in California. No matter, I have a wonderful doctor myself who has been nothing but kind to me from day 1. I am very blessed to have both a doctor _and_ a dentist I _each_ think very highly of!

My personal advice: - Don’t start too drastically, make small changes as you’ll be more likely to stick to it. - Find out what changes you can make that are easy and start with those. For example, I love exercising but hate dieting so it was pretty easy for me to go from a relatively sedentary lifestyle to going to the gym 4 days a week and having two “active recovery” (or walking to make it sound less fancy). It is a big jump but I did used to go to the gym in the past, until a relationship I was in got in the way. - Cut out the unhealthy snacks, replacing them with healthier snacks. My go to is fruit, and I honestly prefer it over other snacks such as chocolate. If dieting is hard, don’t even stress about it for the first few weeks, we can work on that after a couple weeks. - Cut out/reduce fizzy drinks, easy enough to do and makes a difference. - Don’t use the scales as your only method to measure progress, I’d personally advise taking photos of yourself, but don’t do it everyday as you probably won’t see progress daily. - Don’t hate yourself for messing up once. If you have one cheat meal or miss one gym session, don’t think “well now it’s not worth it so I can just eat more and exercise less”. This isn’t true, one missed session isn’t as bad as five, one cheat meal isn’t as bad at a cheat day. Get back to it. - Mix cardio and weightlifting, as stated in the video - Believe in yourself, you got this :)

While the thing about the fizzy drinks is mostly true, one way around that for people who really particularly enjoys sodas is to learn how to make water kefir, pineapple tepache, and ginger ale or other sodas with a ginger bug. You are home fermenting your own drinks, _the yeast_ is eating the sugar, and you're getting a probiotic drink that costs pennies-on-the-dollar compared to _buying_ kombucha or something like that at the store. You would need to buy the grains for kefir and ginger to make a "ginger bug" for ginger ale or other "ginger bug" based sodas, but for pineapple tepache you don't need a starter culture for that. But you definitely get that bubbly drink at the end and you're putting something far better into your body then Coca-Cola or Sprite. _The Fermentation Adventure_ is a wonderful channel if you want to learn how to make that kind of stuff!

If you have a lower resting metabolism and he has higher, even if you eat the same amount/calories, he might be in a deficit and you don't. But also, if you weight lift, you might lose fat and gain muscle (which is good) and therefor gain pounds because muscle is heavier than fat. It depends on many things.

It's all about calories. What needs to be individualized is the ''way'' to get there and eat less calories. Adherance at the end of the day is the key. First the calories and macros are calculated, then a meal plan individualized for that person's needs, wants, lifestyle is created that fits those macro and micronutrient intake goals. That's it. People get different results on diets because their calorie intake and expenditure changes as well as their adherence to it. Food is not magic and the body cannot escape the laws of thermodynamics

@jonathanhenderson9422

Vegetables are mostly carbs, btw. I think when people say "cutting carbs" what they really mean is cutting sugar. As for him losing/you gaining, it's all about calories in/calories out. Science has shown again and again it's not what you heat but how much you eat VS how much you burn. So if two people are eating the same diet but one of them is burning, say 25%-75% more calories, then the one burning more calories will lose the weight. Plus, men tend to be bigger than women (height/weight) and so they tend to burn more calories just from that. There are many online calculators where you can estimate how many calories you burn based on your sex, age, weight, height, and activity level, and then you need to plan your caloric intake around that. When I lost over 120lbs. I did it by consistently eating 500 calories less than what I (conservatively) burned in a day.

No idea if anyone will see this but here is how I lost quite a lot of weight: I planned my meals. At the beginning of the week I planned out exactly what I was going to eat every single day. And I only bought the ingredients for these meals (healthy meals of course). Nothing else. Trust me: Its WAY easier to not buy chips rather that to not eat them when they are already at home. I also only had two meals and a snack a day. Breakfast at 12:00 and dinner at 18:00. The snack was a plate with fruit and veggies. Yes. Sometimes I was a little hungry. But nothing terrible. And no matter what the weather was, I always went out on a walk for 30-60min. With this method I lost about 20kg in 4 months. Are they faster ways? Probably. But this one worked for me. All the others didn't cause I couldn't stick to them.

Biggest tip I have as someone who is overweight and losing weight is this- Serve your plate then put your leftovers away before you eat. This makes it more effort to go back for seconds, and that minimal amount more effort might deter you from having another plate. This small change of putting the leftover away before I eat instead of after i eat has been GAMECHANGING for me personally.

However, I typically will nibble at the extras if the wait for the check is long enough. I could definitely see the value of putting salt on the rest to shore up my self-control. Haha.

We tend to view it as "Other people are hungry somewhere so we shouldn't waste food" when it doesn't make sense that your half-eaten spaghetti would help those people. But valuing food and saving it for later saves money that could one day help you be in a financial situation to help those less fortunate.

I’m so glad to hear you admitting that intermittent fasting for some people might lead to disordered eating, especially if you’ve had any kind of eating disorder it’s very dangerous to start restricting yourself. Doesn’t matter if you had BED since if you’ve never gotten the underlying psychological factors for WHY you were overeating sorted it’s very possible to go from that to only eating once or twice A WEEK. Sure you might not be able to get diagnosed as an anorexic since you started out morbidity obese but it doesn’t really matter that much. You’re starving yourself, thinking one apple is enough for that day when you’re eating because your brain is malnourished A healthy mindset is the main key to loosing weight in a healthy way, so no don’t be disgusted by the food that nourishes both mind and body, but for a lot of people it doesn’t start with a diet when they finally go on a SUCCESSFUL weight loss journey, it’s having gotten their head in the right place before they are ready for it

Turning down lights and turning up music is literally what restaurants do to get you to eat _more_ . When you're distracted from your food you tend to eat everything in front of you instead of stopping when full

I started intermittent fasting in January 2021 and the added Noom in June 2021. As of the beginning of September 2021, I have lost 40 pounds. My husband and I also starting ordering meal kits from Every Plate. That has been a huge boost for us because, instead of picking up fast food every night, we are cooking healthy meals. I even have a serving left over to take to work for lunch the next day. I still need to get better about exercising, but I made lots of small changes to my activity levels. At work, I take the stairs instead of the elevator. I park at the end of the store parking lots. I do my best to get in at least 250 steps each hour. I was really glad to see that you did the video. It put some of my successes and setbacks in to a bit of perspective. Thank you.

This is the most helpful and practical video on healthy weight loss that ever I’ve seen. Makes sense of all the advice I’ve heard and debunks some bad advice. Thanks Dr Mike for allowing me to understanding how food choices and habits can result in the satisfaction of a healthy lifestyle. I’m feeling hopeful and optimistic…for the first time in a long time. ❤

All that to say, I'm seeing the updated Noom vs old Noom, and one of those options is deciding how much time you want to dedicate per day to the lessons. I chose the 5-8 minute bracket, but there's also 2-5, 8-10, 10-12, and even 1-2, you can change it at any time.

I was on it for 14 months and didn’t lose a thing. My coach kept giving me advice on how to tweak it, even suggesting I go below 1,000 calories a day long term??? But I finally got diagnosed with PCOS and realized I’m insulin resistant. I ditched Noom, started intermittent fasting. It took four months to reverse my insulin resistance, but have been losing about a pound a week since then. It turns out I’d pretty much been doing everything right! I just couldn’t get past the insulin resistance to burn fat stores, so I’d never seen results. If it wasn’t for intermittent fasting I’d have had to go on a diabetes drug to trick my body. I’m so glad I went ahead and tried IF first instead of just thinking I wasn’t doing things well enough! Plus, scheduled eating is free, but pills and injections aren’t! 😅

So glad to hear you talk about intermittent fasting. I have done this for a long time. I eat one or two meals a day and feel fantastic. I don't eat breakfast. I feel better doing this than eating three meals per day.

Pro-tip from someone who lost about 100 pounds of excess fat: Don't just cut away the foods you love, learn how to consume them in moderate amounts that doesn't ruin your weight. I absolutely love potato chips, when I was morbidly obese I would consume one or two bags every day. When I lost the weight, I didn't eat chips at all during that time, but my craving for them persisted. That resulted in having a relapse into my old ways, and I again at a bag a day for a couple of months until I got my mojo back and went back to healthy eating. What I learned from that was to find a way to satisfy that craving, so I allowed myself to eat ONE bag every 7 days, it didn't matter when I ate it but after eating it I had to wait a full 7 days before I could eat another. I've been doing that for over a year, and it works really well.

I think the best advice instead of "getting used to feeling hungry" would be to learn the difference between hunger and cravings. Being hungry means your body needs energy. Cravings mean you want to eat food just because it is tasty but you don't really need it. If at the end of the day you feel pizza hungry you're not hungry, you're craving

@ShigekiHizashi

Hey Dr. Mike! Here’s a question for you: I’m type 1 diabetic and I’ve heard contradictory claims about weight loss with diabetes. Have you heard anything that suggests that weight loss is more difficult with diabetes? I’ve heard both sides, that it can be harder and that it can be the same as for non-diabetics. Another thing I’m curious about because I’ve never been able to pull it off myself is this: is intermittent fasting a healthy thing for someone with type 1 diabetes to do? When I go for too long without a meal I’ve seen my blood sugar go down, but I’ve also seen it go up, and I’m not sure what would cause that. I know glycogen formation and breakdown plays a role in blood sugar maintenance, but I don’t know how it comes in to play when the body is fasting.

Try fruit smoothies. Generally fruit has a lot of calories and smoothies are easy to prep (frozen fruit works best for smoothies) and and is easy on the stomach. Another tip is to have high calorie veggies in the fridge to snack on (think roasted sweet potato and butternut squash). I tend to snack while I cook or read. Final tip is to eat some nut butters or cheeses with some meals (like peanut butter on apples, cheese and crackers). The fat from the nuts and dairy keeps you full for longer, but is a healthier way to increase calories if used in moderation. Honestly, I feel the best way to diet (for whatever reason) is to learn how to cook healthy meals. Healthy is different for different people. I know cooking takes time to learn, but the best way is to choose one versatile method (smoothies, oven roasting) and making a bunch of stuff with the method. Eventually you find your favorites that you can make on autopilot and meal prep for. Hope this helps.

I work in an ED service. In our service, where the primary cause of low weight is low nutritional intake, we recommend patients to weight restore by increasing nutritional intake very gradually to avoid developing refeeding syndrome. We would also recommend regular blood tests to monitor your risk of refeeding syndrome, especially serum phosphate. Supplements (especially thiamine) can also help reduce the risk. I would recommend working with a dietician to make sure that you increase your intake very gradually and in a way that works for you. If the reasons for undereating are psychological (such as an eating disorder, sensory issues, PTSD, anxiety, etc) I would recommend speaking with a mental health professional. This is of course assuming your low weight is due to low food intake. Other causes such as hyperthyroidism would need to be assessed by a medical professional.

actual tips- drink black coffee use smaller plates intermittent fasting chew thoroughly interval training (HIIT) weight training along with cardio drink water

Yes, the high intensity low intensity workout. I live in an area where most outdoor running routes (those that don't hit a stop light every block or two where you have to just stop constantly) are very hilly, so on a good circular route, there are periods of high intensity (going up a hill) followed by lower (either flat or going downhill). I have found that, when adjusting to a new, more intense route, even if going up a long, steep hill that leaves me wiped out, if I can get through the next 30 seconds of level or downhill track, my breathing will return to normal and I can go on, and once that occurs without too much hassle, I start to sub in the next level of intensity, never all at once (that can lead to injury), but sub in once a week of the harder route at first, then twice, then do it every time (3-4 a week). If you have to run indoors, either on a treadmill or an elliptical (which is better in many ways as long as it's well maintained), you can apply the same principle, you'll just have to program it in.

Amanda - Anorexia, or anorexia nervosa? Those are two completely different things that most people don't realize are different. Just plain anorexia means literally nothing more than "lack of appetite", and that can be caused by all sorts of different things. Anorexia nervosa is the eating disorder.

I used to be really fat. I was on the verge of developing serious health conditions. I remember not being able to tie my shoelaces and my sleep suffered as well. My life changed when I finally set my mind to the thinking that anything is possible if you decide so. I took a meal plan to start with. I created it online, on dietarize, which was super helpful to me. I didn't have to worry about calories, macros, nutrients and all that stuff, I just focused on walking long distances and exercising after I got on a level where I could do some simple workouts. I hope my story will inspire you to do the same. To change your body you must first change your mind!

My biology teacher also talked about how to lose weight. She said "DONT STARVE YOURSELF. It won't help you, instead its important to eat the *right* kind of food. The right fat etc." I personally knew this already since my mother is in the medical field, but I know it helped so many people from my class.

The small container thing was a game changer for me, not because of the psychology of the empty bowl but because of the psychology of the FULL bowl. I'd look at it and think 'that's a whole bowl of [whatever]'. I almost never filled it back up.

I personally can vouch for the "smaller plates" advice. I'm still overweight, but I was about a year ago almost obese and using our bit smaller plates really helped me to lose weight (+10 kg with some exercise). I think it was for me more like I was filling my plate as much as possible so I don't need to go to get a refill, and then forcing me to eat myself full because I didn't want to leave any leftovers. Using a smaller plate helped me to have a more reasonable portion and I wasn't getting any refills even though I knew I was eating less. I also want to say thanks to Mike, I have got a lot of information and I have tried to get better relationship with food and exercise for losing weight. I hope you sometime continue your Nutrition 101 series!

The claims promoting "ruining your food" and eating in front of a mirror and even black coffee actually have origins in pro-ana (anorexia) websites and forums. I appreciate you acknowledging the disorder these tips can lead to.

Oh! Can you make an "eating disorders episode" please! I think it would help many of us. Thank you so much for the great content!

I think the biggest issue with all these programs or "advice" out there is eliminating the positive correlation we have with food. We need to learn that we can still love food and be healthy and fit.

I think the issue is when the recommendation is "you need to lose weight". It can trigger a lot of people who have been trying to lose weight all their life. It's more about the way of talking then the goals he's looking for. If doctors take a lighter approach with maybe talking about recipes and what would be a good sized meal and how that can benefit colesterol levels among other things without mentioning weight I think it makes a huge difference for someone that has been struggling with the scale number for years.

Sara Girão Holm Well, he gives advice on how to lose weight; he doesn’t just say “lose weight.” Some bad doctors might do that, but Dr. Mike’s channel doesn’t. Also, if a bad doctor just said, “lose weight” without giving any advice or details, that doesn’t make them “fat-phobic”; it just makes them a bad, uncommunicative, and non-understanding doctor.

@@rayanrahmani9838 I've seen videos where he talks about recommending patients to lose weight. I think that's where the Reddit thread actually started from. I'm not saying he is wrong for wanting a better life for his patients just the way he fraises it can be better when dealing with people that have eating disorders or have tried to lose weight all their life. That's why I say make it about the goals and not the scale number. One can be in normal BMI weight and still have bad health numbers. It's not a perfect correlation.

Thank you for this one. I needed to hear a few of these. On that weight loss journey and the road is getting rocky lol

Yeah, it’s true. Pretty funny as i’ve noticed that every year my mom cooks less and less food for everyone to eat. Everyone still gets nice and full, and she has to do less cooking 😄. I still eat less than everyone and it’s just because I don’t wanna feel bloated after eating lmao.

Great video! Easy to understand! I do not meal prep for the week but I do cook once and eat for 2-3 days. That helps me stay focused on the goal.

What helped me drastically was that I weighed my food on a scale and in doing so, I learned what was an actual portion size versus what I was serving myself. Using an app I was able to estimate how many calories I consumed in a day, too. Lost weight just doing that, but, exercise is important. You won't SEE results until you lose 10 to 20lbs. You'll feel it first. Also, sugar is my worst enemy and still is to this day. I've regained 20lbs and it's been so discouraging.

Yea on average you’ll lose about 1% a week to be in a healthy weight loss, obviously works out to 1.8 a week, however don’t be discouraged if you lose a little less than that, but do what makes you feel healthy if you feel yourself getting weak eat a bit more and consult with your doctor if you’re losing a lot of weight over a little time, most sustainable way to lose weight is gradually after all, but be healthy and have fun doing it

I was told to limit distraction to focus on how much your eating. Also, eating slowly can let you know when you are full. (I have found that most of the points I focus on help a lot.)

Well, I reduced snacking after I put the bathroom scales in front of the refrigerator. It might sound cruel, but it made me overthink my eating habits before opening the refridgerator repeatedly. It works for me, but it's surely not an good option for everyone.
