How could she lose only 40 pounds in 9 months on a starvation diet? Her
daily calorie turnover should be around 1800-2000, if she did very little
sports in the clinic. But she ate only 800 calories for about 274 days.
Means she should have lost around 85-106 pounds, as one pound consists of
3175 calories (1kg=7000cal). So basically her yo-yo dieting and this crappy
study ruined her metabolism and she is going to gain weight, as soon as her
daily intake exceeds ~1250 calories. And it will. Congratulations!
Dr. Rosenbaum, the problem is not “that she leaves a very controlled
environment”, the problem is that her metabolism has been forcefully slowed
down for nine whole months! And you should know that!

Food is not the enemy we are. I gain weight but it was all my fault with
exercise and portion control .and exercise are bodies will change

This study is so flawed. Eating only 800 calories a day, and then studying
that as a weight reduced individual? No, that person is not weight reduced
by normal means, but by a starvation diet means! I am betting the metabolic
results would differ than that of the individual who lost weight gradually
but ate more calories (of whole unprocessed food).

If I’ve been at a lower weight for the majority of my life (by far!) does
that mean that I will still struggle more to retain that weight when/if I
return to it because I’ve been 15 pounds heavier for one year? Or is my
weight now a new set-point that I will constantly be pushed back up to?
because that is a horridly depressing thought.

It’s important for people to know about blood sugar and their pancreas.
It’s hard to get away from high glycemic foods and if people aren’t
educated you just wind up with diabetes and don’t even know why.

The Leptin thing is interesting, however, why try and fool the brain into
thinking you’re fatter than you are, rather we should be trying to figure
out how to reset the brain’s body weight “set point” so perhaps even before
the weight loss your brain is keen to lose the weight in the first place.

I mean if the brain can effect metabolic triggers to cause us to regain
weight after loss, so too if the brain thinks you’re overweight it will
produce metabolic triggers to lose the weight. Instead of increase in
appetite and reduction in metabolism, the brain will increase metabolism
and decrease our appetite.

So what’s the mechanism in the brain that sets our body weight at X lbs?
I’m keen on the idea of getting to the root of the problem rather than
solving for the effect of being over weight, solve for the cause and yes,
reduced calorie consumption and behavior modification is a key to that, but
not having your own brain work against you and in fact maybe getting it to
work with you in weight loss is best.

I really liked the flavour of Weight loss green store Tea, and it is very
good for cleansing the body and stay away from cravings. My friend has
found it from weight loss green store.

mindset and correct eating plan it is very possible to lose weight fast.

is your metabolism also screwed up after you lost weight that you gained
one or two years prior to your diet ?

Think what you all missed about the documentary was that the study was
conducted to to see the biological reaction to weight lose, not how to diet
you idiots lol. Basically, you’re body is fighting weight lose because it
isn’t inherently what the body wants to do. The take away if watch what you
eat and increase you level of activity, even if you have to go to vigorous
levels, the body will still feel a need to gain weight therefore, you’ll be
working out for the rest of your life.

If you is interested in losing weight the best fat loss that ive had was by
following the Triple trim formula (just google it) definately the most
incredible diet that I have ever followed.

Basically what they are saying is don’t get fat to begin with or you will
have a life time of weight struggles. EEEK!

+Max0r847 perfectly said. too often ppl think its carbs/calories or just
follow one plan made by another human. Just look at neurotoxins in foods.
Get that out of ur bod thru non gmo, raw, vegan, wholesome, whatever it is.
just not processed, not containing ingredients (yes ingredients but sadly
im talking about neurotoxins and other chemicals that are now ingredients;
man wat a time) that will toxify your brain. ur mind will then have proper
nutrients, minerals and vitamins to help fire neurons that control mood ,
motivation and other abstract, yet vital aspects of human life. yup, im not
BSing, you will feel motivation again, you will feel hyper awareness (not
just aware of your surroundings but also aware of your purpose in life,
present, progress, future decision making, etc.) Then, only then will you
value exercise (my favorite running, biking and swimming; sooo vital to
humans;soccer is best sport ever invented tho) and its benefits/purpose, bc
when you try to exercise while overweight and highly toxified by the poison
in our current food supply, you feel like its pointless and its soo hard,
and you tend to quit the exercise lifestyle and revert back to your old
obese ways. Sometimes you go back even more gluttonous bc ur mad that u
didn’t get results and its too hard and wat a waste of time. Listen to Max!
A new deoderant and new organic, raw, non gmo, non sulfate soap are the
last steps in the weightloss journey you are about to take. and like he
said; if u see all this as bs and think its too hard. Just start slowly.
let it be a process. thats wat im doing, i have the list of things i now i
should do but im doing them at my pace. y bc im being realistic. but i know
soon enough; like he said, the scale is gonna tip in my favor (im sure it
already is ) and bam I’ll have the results and control over my body, and
consequently–human experience–that I want.

that girl at 1:28 would’ve looked gorgeous if she was slim since she has
such a beautiful face. its a shame now even if she did somehow become slim
shes going to have that flab all over her body -_-

Your metabolism will be slowed down after weight loss, the only way to fix
it is to put on some muscle

hey all, of all the lose fat diets that I have tried, the only program that
changed everything for me was Adams fat code (you can look it up on
google). Absolutely the most incredible diet that worked amazingly well.
