@@kpeezy776 you dont need any gym equipment to lose weight. 90% of this is better nutrition. You just need to eat less calories than you burn. Most people fall into the trap of adding exercise, but also consuming more food (because the body has established a "normal" rate of excess calories each day and that's how your appetite works. Your appetite will trick you. It is not telling you what the body needs. It's telling you what you normally do. And since you are looking to make a change (new healthier weight and lifestyle) you have to ignore your appetite and choose a good macro nutrient profile. Adding exercise helps of course, but ultimately you want to eat approx 100-150 calories less than you burn (you BMR + any exercise). Counting calories can be a bit tiring and tricky, but once your body adjusts to being a little hungry, you no longer associate that feeling with hunger, but with wellness, with not consuming excess.

Nico, here's an easier simplification of what he said. If your body can't use everything you've put into it, the excess is stored or excreted. Too much energy in versus energy used = overweight. Thus, move more, eat fewer KJ or calories, make yourself cold while maintaining KJ/calories, etc. It really is that easy. He isn't comparing raw energy intake between individuals (i.e. fast vs slow metabolism); only in a particular case, if weight is a problem, just eat less, or move, or both.

@nico1pendragon

+ualaelinlive I understand what he said ... the problem comes in when you understand that the process the determines energy yield(calories ) of food and what happens to food in your body is vastly different second to that food you eat doesn't only provide energy most of it is used to repair and replace cells in your body. Thirdly ali crum's research strongly suggest that by altering only a set of believes weight loss will occur . At 4:57 he actually says that little arrow there is a 3 year degree ... No how much would you trust a doctor that's 3 years short on his degree? Now when you eat your metabolism speeds up and when you don't eat it slows down so you must be referring to basal metabolic rates and that has nothing to do with having a weight problem .

“To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals.” Benjamin Franklin Skip a few meals & snacks. Treat added sugar like alcohol (the body doesn’t need it, use it on occasion). Think when you eat...about what you’re eating. Eat well, be well.

The stated intention of his presentation was not to describe in 20 minutes or less the how or why of obesity, but to deliver a mathematics (84% as CO, 16% H2O) based answer to the question of 'Where does fat go?'. To that end, his speech was enlightening, articulate and entertaining. Excellent presentation.

It's not that people have lost faith in science, it's science that has lost faith in itself. Climate Change research is driving this trend more than anything. It is a pre-determined conclusion to which data and hypotheses are made to fit, because if they don't YOU GET NO GRANT MONEY. There is $0 of funding available from any major source for research that leads to a conclusion contrary to the 'consensus'. This is terrifying. The whole point of the scientific method is that consensus can always be wrong in light of new information and understanding. This has happened on many notable occasions, where the research of one individual rewrote and wiped out the supposed laws of entire fields that had stood as fact for, in some cases, thousands of years. Heliocentrism and Plate Tectonics are two towering examples. I just worry that 500 years from now, people will read scientific history books and snicker at our time and say "Wow, they believed people could actually affect an entire planetary climactic system, primitive idiots. They probably thought the Earth was flat, too, hahahahahah....oh wait, polls from that time showed the majority of people under 35 DID believe the planet was flat." Above all, science, more than any discipline, needs to keep an open mind free of presupposition.

This may sound like a conspiracy theory... All this 'new' information, particularly about diet and medicine, has been hushed up by the food industry (can you imagine the problems caused if the public stated demanding that HFCS and sugar be removed form the foods we eat), the pharmacological industry, and the weight loss industry for years. The drug companies have no interest in you learning how to live without their drugs. That's why we haven't seen a disease CURED in almost 50 years. There's no money in curing a disease, but plenty in 'managing' it... Why sell one pill that stops the disease, when you can sell a lifetime of pills to extend that person's life? And who funds most medical research, and medical training facilities, and offers fantastic incentives to doctors to prescribe, prescribe, prescribe? The 'weight loss' industry is worth BILLIONS a year. A lot of that heads back to the treasury as taxes, so government has a strong incentive to 'leave sleeping dogs lie' (and paying tax)... The food industry has lobby groups whose specific task is to ensure the government does nothing to alert people the wool being pulled over our eyes. I am now seeing more and more videos, TED talks and promotional videos basically trying to take down all these barriers to 'truth'. A film-maker in Australia made a controversial film regarding high sugar diets. It was pointing out some really interesting information. The Australia Medical Association had the film pulled off Netflix as 'misleading and dangerous'... What they didn't say was that it was dangerous to the incomes of the drug companies who support the medical industry... As I said, sounds like a conspiracy theory to me, but remember, a few 'conspiracy theories' have actually been proven to actually be the truth... So, 'please consider'...

It’s not that the concept is difficult to understand. People understand it. The difficult part is putting it into practice. There isn’t one single reason people are overweight or obese. People are triggered by so many things and food has become their vice. By no means am I saying that is an excuse to live an unhealthy lifestyle. I’m saying that unless one knows a person’s story and knows what they’ve been through people shouldn’t judge. Many obese people are judged to be lazy and gluttonous. It may be true for some but others have tried to lose weight. Life deals them a blow and they derail. Other times the body actually works against them.We all have vices and things we are addicted to. This world would be a better place if there was less judgmental people. I’m not saying you’re judgmental by your comment I’m just saying people in general.

Eat less, move more is truly the key to losing weight. That’s been my go to phrase for years. When people try to over complicate, run! Great talk!

What a beautiful method to communicate scientific information to common audiences. Amazing teaching skills.

this is brilliant. honestly this should be part of a regular curriculum in schools. no only would it likely result in a reduction in obesity, it would promote proper weight loss rather than those unfortunately practices some young women employ in order to achieve the unrealistic standard set by tv and social media. cheers

No that's not solely respiration that's to do with diffusion / osmosis to a cellular membrane AK the lung air interface. It's got nothing to do with the respiration part. Respiration part produces the water. The vapour part happens in lung due to things to do with relative humidity and temperature differentials but I won't bore you with that

A keto diet is the opposite...high protein and low carb..it is the days of low carb that eventually move the body into ketosis. Am sure he is aware of the error though by now anyway (haven't read other comments but I bet others noticed that too!)

literally the best tedx talk ever... and pretty much is the simple answer to an entire industry, i will be explaining this to anyone how asks the question, how do i loose weight. It baffles me that we can't just answer these simple questions with sience and instead just make up all this missinformation and weightless arguments, with no meaning.

I have watched this ten times. I have practiced it for the last 21 days. eating one meal a day and average of walking almost 5 miles a day. I have lost 15 pounds from 260 to 245. my goal is to get to 225 as I am 6'5" and 60 years old. this is simple mathematics. I used to do the atkins diet but it gets boring. this way eating less lets me eat anything I want, but I only eat a little and I exercise a lot. pay attention to this informative information. I have recommending it to many people.

It’s great. Only one observation: plants we eat are made of carbon from the air - not sunlight. So we eat air and we release air again

Honestly one of the best Ted talks I’ve ever watched

Mr Meerman has delivered sound info more ppl should see / hear. He has great awareness of the audience beyond those seated in attendance. I like this presentation. Bravo -- Ruben Meerman!

This is very interesting to me. As a side story, my family and I recently visited the Colorado Rockies (11,000+ ft.). Now the 1st day of the trip was spent at around 6000 feet. and I was surprised that I had forgot about the lack of oxygen I might encounter at high elevations, being from Fa. It had been 20+ years since I had been in Colorado and the one thing I forgot about was elevation and the breathing issues. But luckily my wife had a phone call with a friend who lived in the state, and she suggested we drink a lot of water.... (H20), which provided the extra oxygen we were missing... and it worked. No more breathing issues. Thanks and Great TED!

@spocksvulcanbrain

Sorry but drinking water does NOT provide oxygen for breathing. You're unclear on the physiology. In order to make breathing easier, there are only 2 ways - more oxygen IN THE AIR, or less activity (need for oxygen). Drinking or eating food or drink that contains oxygen thinking it's going to help with high altitude breathing is woo.

@Themethodmix

Жыл бұрын

If I’m not mistaken, the problem with altitude (hypoxemia) has to do with the fact that overbreathing to help make up for less oxygen at higher elevation also effects blood acid-base balance by making the blood too alkaline (low CO2). The kidneys try to compensate for this by the excretion of bicarbonate ions (a base) in the urine. The drug “Diamox” (acetazolamide), a renal carbonic anhydrase inhibitor) mimics this process, by aiding in the excretion of bicarbonate ions, thereby allowing greater hyperventilation and more oxygenation. The primary trigger for breathing (respiratory drive) is not the lack of oxygen but the abundance of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide in the blood stream is in equilibrium with carbonic acid. If we breathe off too much CO2, that partially extinguishes our reflex to breathe. The kidney’s effort to compensate for this to acidify our blood stream allows us to breathe more. This is why exposure to higher altitude causes a well-hydrated individual to diurese (pee more).

@theactualbacon3532

Жыл бұрын

The water helps because of the low humidity. You're constantly losing water to the air. The last thing you want is to be dehydrated and hypoxic. Water affects the former not the latter.

Thanks for this elemental example! Eat less, move more, keep breathing AND ....drink water 👍

The energy we consume through our food is in the molecules, but not in the mass of the atoms therein, but between the lines: It is the indeed the energy that keeps these atoms tied together and gets liberated and exchanged when atoms swap places during the chemical processes of digestion and metabolism. Matter is but the (necessary and handy) packaging for energy, so in that sense it is absolutely correct to say that the energy in our food is equivalent to sunlight.

He meant that we are fuelled by sunlight, and the molecules and atoms are merely carriers of this energy.
