How can you lose weight? Dr. Giles Yeo explains | SVT/TV 2/Skavlan

Back in the 60s and 70s we didn't have take out places. Supermarkets closed at 6pm and TV didn't have constant food ads. We also walked a lot more, played outside and snacked less.

I did 5:2 diet 8 yrs ago when I saw Dr Mosley talk about it on a show . It saved my life . I was 15 kgs overweight , high blood pressure and pre diabetic ! In six months of fasting 2 days a wk I lost 15 kgs and since have kept it off !! I don’t don’t do 2 days fasting anymore once the wt was off but I weigh myself weekly . If weight comes up 2 kgs + I fast for a day or two and it comes off . Fasting has shrunk my stomach so I get full quicker and sugar cravings are gone ! Iam now the person who doesn’t even know the cookies were there ! No desire to eat them . My diabetes is gone . Blood pressure came down and people say I don’t look my age . I’ll be 60 this yr but most people think Iam in my 40s . Fasting does amazing things to your body . It’s anti - aging .

Once I worked in a preschool where the children ate whatever for snack time.....cookies, cupcakes, candies, chips. The first day of class I had a flash in my mind of the mountain of junk food that I would consume over the school year if I decided to take the first bite. So, I never took the first bite Everyday I brought a piece of fruit to eat while the children and other teachers ate the junk food snack. Day after day...week after week. One day one of the children said....Mrs. W always eats a healthy snack! I felt like a true teacher that day. Someone...especially children....is always watching what you decide to do....good choice or bad choice.

I struggled with compulsive overeating while my children were growing up. I am thinner now at age 70. My son and my daughter are morbidly obese in adulthood. It might not be genetic but children learn how to be from watching their parents. My struggle became their struggle. I wish I had taught them how to play the piano instead.

I have so many food allergies that most things never tempt me. But because of the highly restrictive meals that I can have I have developed some unhealthy habits. I now do intermittent fasting and exercise and listen to many experts like this. After I have good information, it is easier to make knowledgeable choices to have a healthy life.

After watching this i'm still asking How can i lose weight?

I'm one of the 5th type. I don't eat sweets and I never crave sugary stuff. I look at the biscuits, see people eat them and just think I'm not going to ruin my metabolism again. Now if they come with a cheese and cherry tomato platter it's a different story.

Doc Yeo is Brilliant😊❤

Diets don't work for the most part as you can go off and on a diet, so as soon as you go off, you will return to how you were before or maybe worse. One needs to change the lifestyle that caused the overweight in the first place. This means that it's a "diet" for always which most often will sound too extreme for most people. You don't have to change it completely overnight but start eliminating what caused the overweight in the first place. Another point is that losing weight is the wrong terminology, it's losing fat that it's about and not muscle mass for example. This means that you should seek help as to which exercising and when best to do it would greatly help in the fat loss.

Wow! Dr. Giles brought clarity with choice words that illuminates a topic that many people seem to complicate. Thank you Dr. For your word.

Thanks for reposting. The last minute was worth it.

Fasting is the only thing that keeps working for me. My food/sugar cravings are not so powerful when I don’t have that stuff in the house.

I LOVE Dr.Giles Yeo, also appreciate very much the wittiness of the beautiful lady.

People told me you can't eat carbs and lose weight, you can't eat bread and you can't eat at night. I did all 3 and have lost 43 pounds so far and went from a size 20 to a 6 and also packed on muscle in the process through weight lifting. I think Mr. Yeo is very intelligent and he's right - it's what works for you that you can stick to. I can eat forever like I'm eating now. I love my carbs, especially bread (100% whole wheat) and love brown rice and oats! I eat 50% carbs and I have 20% protein a day but any more than that I have kidney stones. I also get good fats, with about 30% fats in with olive oil, avocado, nuts and flax.

Love Dr Yeo! So entertaining while still making his important point. My son is a very interesting eater. He only eats three meals a day, never snacks and, when the plate is put in front of him, he doesn't pay attention to it. He will eat everything, but he will wait to start eating for at least 5 minutes. 😳 Even when he's really hungry!

My adhd brain ate the cookie and didnt even know it and then think "maybe I should eat another one and Ill remember to enjoy it".

Not only do we have feast feast we have feast with unhealthy food, we have constant stress caused media and social media that trigger cortisol, which makes us hungrier more quickly.

That was so funny. I was #2 for many years .. would even go into the bathroom and cry because I couldn't eat a stupid piece of cake for fear I'd gain weight. Now that I'm a 71 year old vegan who regularly intermittent fasts, I'm still too heavy for my body type! I'm glad I don't have any cookies lying around, but if I did I definitely be #1 type and eat the damn cookie without worrying about what others might say. Oh, the benefits of being old. 🍷

Great video of interesting conversation based on real science and real-life problems.

woo! thanks for the reupload.
