37 Risposte a “Podcast: Exercise and Weight Loss”

  1. Problem with the cites studies is that they don't adjust for WHAT is eaten rather than how much.
    I am willing to throw my hat in and claim if they ate the same amount of calories but in the form of beans and greens that would not result in weight gain. Also, if they do gain weight, I am going to claim that it won't present itself as an increase in fat tissue.

  2. (this comment is not evidence, it is just my opinion of my own health) ive been plant based for almost 2 months. My weight has improved. I can breathe better, and my physical health has improved. But you have to understand, this is how i felt also when i first started carnivore. And when i wait for about a month of not eating animal products i feel far better when i do eat it.

    None of this is evidence, but it might be an indicator to an understanding of nutrition. If the okinawans, the longest living society, do monthly flexitarian, then maybe we should consider it based on the readily available evidence that is accessible.

  3. Да, это факт, от моржевание аппетит сильный. И тюлени ходящие в бассейн для похудения сохраняют свою массу годами.

  4. We burn more calories exercising in the cold so the goal would be to not eat as much afterwards. Perhaps a hot cup of golden milk or hot chocolate to warm the body and satisfy mild hunger pains
    after cold exercise.
    Do we feel hungrier because we actually burned more calories or hungrier because we are cold or both. So if we burn more calories exercising in the cold, then weight loss will be greater as long as we consume no more than we would after warm exercise.

  5. There's an old saying among runners:" You can't out-run a bad diet."

    I recently experienced a corollary to this "Too much of a good thing…" To prepare for upcoming surgery I need to loose about 50 lbs of post-chemo weight gain. I set myself a rigorous program of WFPB diet using WW and cardio, with a goal of 7K steps a day. Too my surprise I lost almost nothing, so I ramped up my exercise weekly and drove myself mercilessly to meet my goals. I lost maybe a pound and no BMI change. In a moment of clarity I realized I was overdoing. So, I cut back to the minimum guidelines for seniors to maintain a healthy life, but kept my diet in place. Suddenly I started loosing at the rate I had expected and have continued loosing steadily ever since.

    I knew better, but I got caught up in the whole "More is better" thing. I remember watching a good friend who was on one of those physician's weight loss pudding diets back in the day struggle with the same thing. When she hit a plateau her doctor had her ramp up her activity until she was running stadium steps for hours a day. Finally she was so depleted and defeated that she quit, called herself a failure and gained it all back plus some.

  6. Heat including exercise-induced rise in body temperature is well known to be an appetite suppressant, so it’s hardly a surprise that swimming makes you hungrier as most swimmers also know well.

  7. Weight loss is not everyone's goal. A healthy lifestyle is capable of far more than just "loosing" weight. Healthy weight management via exercise is better. Thank you Dr Greger. Excellent video.

  8. I love your videos. A question: if you're exercising in the cold, does wrapping up warm make any difference? If it doesn't there's some interesting science going on. What happens if you go swimming in a dry suit where you could end up getting quite hot, or simply in very warm water?

  9. Why doesn't someone Put it to the test? Take 12 people. All with diabetes or coronary artery disease. Put 4 on a WFPB diet. Put 4 on the Carnivore diet and 4 on low carb diet. After 6 weeks and then again at 6 months do the bloodwork. Maybe the carnivores and Atkins types will stop! And if they don't have them run the same test.

  10. On April 1st (I know lol) I decided to go WFPB and start being more active. I was 296.4 then and now I am 239.

    This diet and lifestyle has changed my life so much for the better.❤

  11. I have something to add to this… by optimizing my sleep quality (by taking various types of magnesium, time release melatonin, forskolin, apigenin, and occasionally 5-htp or gaba or ashwagandha before bed, sleeping alone in a cool comfortable bed with silicone earplugs and silky sleep mask) along with taking various probiotics in the morning (saccharomyces boulardii and a multi strain like “seed”), along with morning exercise, time restricting eating to the first half of the day… this has stabilized my blood sugar and eliminated my cravings for sweets and junk food, allowing me to easily eat a whole food vegan diet in modest portions… where as, previously I found this incredibly challenging. QUALITY SLEEP being the key! Essentially I get exposure to bright outdoor daylight at around 7am, then restrict myself to dim red light and no mental or physical or visual stimulation after 7pm, apart from a short soothing audio only boring podcast or sleep story to fall asleep to occasionally, with eyes shut.

  12. In my experience, there's no "method" of losing weight more miserable than exercise. I'd lift and do cardio over an hour every day, didn't lose a single pound. If anything I gained and my body fat didn't go anywhere. But when I went full whole food plant based, I was losing weight within 24 hours. Within 6 months I was as thin was I was in highschool and it hasn't budged since. Exercise is very important but if you want to lose fat, stop eating fat. It's very easy actually

  13. Truth is noone will lose weight unless tey remain on the same sleep schedule and have their last meal at the same time everyoght. Doing otherwise will cause the body to hold on to fat. Even if youre starving yourself.

  14. it makes sense evolutionarily that we would have that programming when exposed to the cold: to resist the cold you need to make extra layers of fat, just like arctic animals

  15. Thanks Doc. After putting on weight due to an injury and illness I'm in weight loss mode for the first time in over a decade. I've been reading about "interval weight loss" as a way to prevent weight gain back past starting weight in the long term. It seems sensible (in a nutshell don't lose more than half a kilo a week for 4 weeks, then maintain your weight for a month before starting weight loss again) but I would love to hear your thoughts!

  16. On a whole plant based diet I have gained 10 kg by running up 660 steps 2 at a time, every day. My leg muscles are huge now. I am 60 years old. I can beat youngsters up these steps with ease. I will have to get back to cycling to loose weight.

  17. Most studies don't match the calorie deficits between calorie cutting diets and expending more calories without increasing caloric intake. The ones that do get the same weight loss. The discrepency between the calorie deficits produced between calorie cutting and increasing exercise without increasing intake has given us the myth that weight loss is all about calorie cutting. Yes. of course, if a person is obese because they consume a high calorie, low nutrient diet, then perhaps improving one's diet is what one should do first. However, some people who don't exercise very much find that to lose any weight, they have to drastically cut down on their calorie intake. In that case, a person needs to exercise more. Also, in the past, people were more active in their everyday activities. For instance, they walked instead driving everywhere. They didn't have as many household devices that cut down on how many calories they would have to burn. But, yes, people spent more time fixing their own food, rather than relying on more unhealthy convenient processed foods. Even if a person exercises enough to lose weight without cutting calories, improving the quality of ones calories is always important.

  18. I personally lost 30 kg (66 lbs) in 8 months without losing muscle and strength. I followed a high protein – high fat – low carb diet. Losing body fat is easy if you know what you’re doing 🙂 I don’t understand why people still struggle to lose body fat. It’s so easy.

    Strength training is important for maintaining muscle mass. The more muscle mass you have, the higher your metabolism so you burn more calories.

    Losing body fat is not just being in a caloric deficit. What you eat is just as important.
