The Risks and Benefits of Mindfulness for Weight Loss

38 Risposte a “The Risks and Benefits of Mindfulness for Weight Loss”

1. I always considered meditation to be the "safe" route to enlightenment. I guess I shouldn't have assumed that path doesn't detour into psychosis just like the entheogenic method.

2. Curious if any studies on CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). About five years back I joined in on a meditation class and on day 3 during the session I experienced an extreme unexplainable discomfort/pain at the top/center of my head. After many scans and trips to the doctor no answer. Anyone else experienced similar situation?

3. I used to walk 20+ hours a week in a way that apparently turned out to be a kind of meditation. I found it helped a lot with all sorts of things, though that may also be due to the abundant exercise.
   Meanwhile, last time my girlfriend tried mindfulness meditation, she had a panic attack right after, saying she felt empty and like she was staring into the void.
   I wonder what might have made it work better?

5. "Risks of mindfullness" one may be responsible for their own decisions, one may be unable to engage in self defeating behaviors. Sounds like a nitemare for half of Americans living in delusion.

6. I like meditation to help me sleep, but I've tried several different types of mindful eating and none of them work for weight loss. It's also too exhausting to maintain long term when you have to notice every texture, color, flavor, smell, and sound of every single bite of every single part of every single meal, or ask yourself a long series of decision tree questions every time you think you might possibly feel hungry. No thanks.

7. Meditation never helped me much

8. Interesting.🌱🌅☘️

9. I feel like if u r doing mindfulness and getting sode effects u r just doing it wrong …

10. For those who want to save your time: mindfulness works for weight loss.

11. Thinking is extremely dangerous!

12. Just pray to God. I never heard of prayer harming anyone.

13. When you run there is time alone to think over things. This can help with fat control .

14. If practicing mindfulness i.e. meditating and focusing on your breathing leads to psychosis or psychotic breaks surely there is some kind of other issue at play mental health or otherwise.

    Are we so conditioned to always be listening to or watching something, to constantly keep ourselves busy, that we can't take a few minutes just to reflect and step away from the noise? How sad.

15. Depersonalization: Looking in the mirror one morning after a year on a plant based diet & not recognizing yourself because you lost nearly 50 pounds… 😱

16. I wonder if potassium may play a role in the Psychosis some experience. Since most Americans are potassium deficient and one of the side effects is Psychosis. It would be awesome if there was a meditation study that could control for important nutrient deficiencies that can negatively affect mood and mental health. That way we could see if there is a connection there as well.

21. Mindfulness can be a helpful practice for weight loss by promoting awareness, self-control, and a healthier relationship with food. Here are some ways mindfulness can support weight loss:

    1. Eating with Awareness: Mindful eating involves paying close attention to the sensations, flavors, and textures of each bite. By slowing down and savoring your food, you become more attuned to your body's hunger and fullness cues, which can prevent overeating and promote healthier portion control.

    1. Emotional Eating Awareness: Mindfulness helps you become more aware of your emotions and their connection to food. Instead of turning to food as an automatic response to stress, boredom, or other emotions, mindfulness allows you to recognize and address your feelings in a more constructive way.

    1. Body Awareness: Mindfulness encourages you to connect with your body and its needs. By tuning in and listening to your body's signals, such as hunger, fullness, and energy levels, you can make more informed choices about what and when to eat.

    1. Conscious Food Choices: Mindfulness can assist in making conscious and healthier food choices. By being present in the moment and considering the nutritional value and nourishment that food provides, you can opt for nutrient-dense options that support your weight loss goals.

    1. Stress Reduction: Mindfulness practices, such as meditation or deep breathing exercises, can help reduce stress. Chronic stress can contribute to weight gain and unhealthy eating habits, so managing stress through mindfulness can support your weight loss journey.

    Remember that mindfulness is a skill that takes time and practice to develop. It's important to approach weight loss with self-compassion and patience, focusing on creating sustainable habits rather than quick fixes. Consulting with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian can also provide personalized guidance and support on incorporating mindfulness into your weight loss journey.

23. In short, no better than a placebo.

24. 👍

25. So, paying some attention to what you do/eat and not thoughtlessly shovelling rubbish results in weight loss or at least no gain… amazing lol

26. I find some kinds of mindfulness helps me. I learned about it from someone who studied it at Oxford.

27. Some people are trying to use and others sell meditation and/or mindfulness as a pill to cure pain, and they're a tool, but one has to change many things within, not just one.

28. Usually I find panic attacks or "extreme emptiness" to be due to lack of contact with certain thoughts/emotions lying within ones subconscious.
    The emptiness is always there we just don't notice because we have preoccupations with some external device or thought pattern.

    Think of it like being shown a completely new way of being that you're totally unprepared for and freak out as a result.
    The goal should be to transcend not keep hiding…

29. I find mindfulness indispensable as the alternative is mindlessness.

30. I think its less about all meditation being detrimental in general and more about finding the right way to do it. Ive modified my practices for a while and while breathing meditation has helped me to wake up in the morning, it doesnt help with overthinking. Even modified zen meditation is useful. Just using the concept of observe and accept reality is massive in my progress and in resolving some delusions. Im schizophrenic

31. Interesting! Thank you <3

32. Mindfulness can also result in lucid dreams, which are amazing!

33. I have found that focusing on what I am eating, as opposed to eating and texting or watching videos or reading, does certainly make me much more aware of what I am consuming.

34. This is quite odd to me, as meditation has helped my perception and ability to unnatach to thoughts enormously.

    Obviously it's not a perfect fix, but the benefits for me have been found to be life-changing, honestly. Before it I can swear to being a much more reactive and unaware person.

    I don't believe in the witchy woo woo associated with it, but how can something that has helped so many people find peace and contentness be unviable?

    Obviously this is just for weight management, but I'm interested to see how the science around it develops in the future.

    As always, thanks for the vid!

35. So mindfulness and meditation leads to psychosis?

36. 1) Man kann nicht wirklich achtsam sein "um zu …" … Das widerspricht dem Kern, den die Achtsamkeit in sich birgt … 2) DasVideo stimmt mich traurig. Wieviele falsche und irreführende Informationen sind wohl in der Welt unterwegs, wenn Menschen durch Achtsamkeitspraktiken Schaden nehmen?

37. I wonder if the studies where people experienced psychotic episodes were taking place at “Vipassana” (silent) retreats? If that were the case, there could have been several other factors contributing to mental breakdown such as being out of their home environment, having no social interaction, no outside contact, no exercise, sitting all day, change in diet, etc. So it’s an important distinction to be made. Ultimately it’s hard to study how mindfulness can affect people in daily life, and difficult to make a distinction about how mindfulness is put into practice. I’m interested in more information on the topic, as a yoga & meditation teacher myself! ✌️

38. wow. he went full retard. but it also explains why he doesn't understand how raw foods are better for us …

I commenti sono chiusi.
