- According to the World Health Organization, and perhaps for the first time in history, there are now more people in the world who are malnourished and obese than malnourished and underweight. Our relationships with food have evolved over the past century, leading to this paradox. In this talk, Pete sheds some light on this problem and offers a solution. Pete was morbidly obese for almost 30 years. Doctors diagnosed him with diabetes, depression, fatty liver, and high blood pressure along with neuropathy, partial blindness, and sleep apnea. He lost 115 lbs about seven years ago and kept it off with a reversal of several health issues. He’s spent most of his career working with people with disabilities and is a diabetes prevention coach.He’s a member of the board of directors and Chair of the board for the Upper-valley Center for Domestic Violence and chair of the Madison County Community Council. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Food addiction needs to be treated like herion addiction
Food addiction is real
Especially since you can live without herion but you can't live without food
Agree. This is my problem😢
Period!!!
If your watching this video, there is hope for you!
Thank you, there is almost always hope. :-)
😊 thank you
*you're
I hope :((
I hope so, but thank you
I lost 38 lbs in a year because of this guy. Thank you so very much.
Thank you for sharing your success!
Any one of these success stories could be my starting point. So far, all of them have failed to bring me any meaningful change to my body, albeit my attitude and knowledge towards food and eating has changed greatly for the better. I've learned to not beat myself up about it as well. I'm proud of both accomplishments.
I am happy that you've made the change happen. I'm happy to see people are able to despite my personal lack of success. Every one of you remind me, like this guy on the video, that losing weight is not impossible. Thank you for sharing.
@@sengoku_fin my girlfriend broke up with me and my mom got arrested and I'm in foster care now. Gained it all back.
Good luck tho
@@JacobRise1492 Big hardships for sure. I believe you - get some off, gain it back later for reasons, big or small. I've found that beating myself up because of "what i do to myself" is one of the worst poisons to swallow... so please keep your head healthy, the body follows wherever the head leads it.
Night time binge eating has been and continues to be my downfall. When I make the conscious decision to not eat after 6 pm (1800 hours) I find my overall health and stress levels improve almost instantaneously. Thank you kind sir for such a poignant and refreshing talk.
that is a great idea!!
Today I have successfully managed to not give in to a binge eating episode. This talk was enlightening. From tomorrow, I'm going to retake charge of my life. I will not eat after 7PM
All the luck in the world to you :)
those of us who experience binging know what a big deal that is! wishing you the best
You got this Shreya!
That's what always happens, never works and I just go back to binge eating chocolate and sweets
Let yourself eat after 7pm if you are physically hungry. I feel like giving yourself rules like that eventually trigger the binging.
the truth is if you completely stop eating junk and fill your body with whole foods, mostly plants, you lose the addiction to junk. Even if you cave in and get your favorite after weeks of clean eating not only will it not taste as good as you remember but then you get to see how it really affects your body, headache, stomach discomfort, fatigue, craving more.
This is soooo true. I've been there. I fell off the wagon. Now I'm on my way to getting myself back.
The truth is if you beat the addiction you beat the addiction?....duh
The second part about how it makes you feel but the first part no.
Doughnuts and ice cream are dangerously delicious no matter how long you go without
@@Devante516 when you get your body clean from stopping all fake foods your taste buds change. I've started to fast only eat 1 meal a day with only real foods no processed foods or vegetable oils and I ate some of my favorite chips today because my brain thought I'd like them by habit and I literally couldn't taste them as I use to taste them they didn't have the same effect on me so it's definitely a mental game but our bodies also get physically addicted thanks to us all having insulin resistance from processed foods and vegetable oils which are also in all the processed foods. Start fasting you'll love it I've never felt better. Heaps of fasting videos on CZcams an it can reduce chances of and or heal diseases in the body. Sorry long story short lol
I’m trying this 😩
this is what i needed to hear to push me over the edge, i’m not 300 yet but i’m damn close. I will beat this. I will be better. Starting today is a new life for me. i’ll thankyou when it’s done, which will be never. in the meantime i’ll thank you for inspiring me.
Thank you for sharing. I am only 25 lbs overweight but the food addiction is the same, nonetheless. I've come to the conclusion that I've been lazy with many things, not just food discipline..and I've discovered that being disciplined in all aspects of my life will help me lose weight.. Like stop hitting snooze and just get up; practicing piano daily even when I don't feel like it; forcing myself to go for a walk even when it's cold outside. These are all helping me strengthen that will to say no to foods that don't help me achieve weight loss.. Good luck to you!
Key word
Science is controversial over food being addictive
Anyone with a food addiction knows food addiction exists
Totally!!!
I hate statements like if alcoholic drinks himself to death it's an addiction, but if foodcraver becoming morbidly obese and die it's some "hormonal problem"
I pray we can get through this.
Male 33 y/o 5'9" 175 lb and just found out I have a food addiction. I've been feeling so bad on my low calorie diet that I came to the realization on my own that I have one. Binge eater, always hungry, love savory foods, weight fluctuations, loss of interest, sleep problems, feeling horrible, slight bulemia I had no idea I was dealing with an addiction. My diet has made it worse than ever right now with the constant eating throughout the day. Tomorrow I'm gonna start eating way less and not give into the cravings. This is worse than quitting smoking 😞
Hows it going?
I was bulimic and addicted to food for 13 years. Now I’ve been free of it since 2011. You can do it don’t quit! There is a way out.
I wouldn’t recommend restricting your food intake too low after extreme binging, it might continue the cycle... on the other hand maybe try meal preparation or balanced eating for a week to ten days and I’m sure even a day will push you in the right direction- too bad I waited a year to comment a reply!
The honesty here is beautiful. Never give up on yourself
Please update us on your journey. I hope you are remembering to be kind and empathetic to yourself after you realized what you are going through.
Great short talk!!!! I having been riding the death train of food for a long time. But now I am changing jobs hoping to turn some switches on and some off!! Been working night shift for 14 years and have gain 100 lbs during that time. I weigh well over 300. I Hoping going to days will change some things!!! Thank you for those hopeful words!!
Switching to days is a solid start. So much more is available for day workers as far as exercise options and walks. Much success to you!
How are you doing now?
As someone who swings back and forth you can lose weight even doing shift work, it does however require preparation and planning, I find eating on a schedule really helped me. Wish you luck in your endeavor!
Thinking about losing weight is a little bit nervous for me because I seek comfort in food. A month ago I quit nicotine and I’ve gained more weight from feeding my food addiction as a replacement. It makes me nervous to change my eating habits and even watching this video I feel like I need chips here with me…
I hear you, and I know the feeling well. I wish you all the very best in life
@@bekindrewind9675 saw your reply and I had to come back to update, still nicotine free and down 50 lbs. really doing a lot of work mentally and physically as I’ve learned you can’t do one without the other. Thank you for your wishes.
@@newm1133 Oh wow, I'm thrilled for you. Yes good call on mental and physical both. You must be working hard at it. Very inspiring and a big challenge ahead for me. Thanks so much for replying.
I'm at the beginning of my realisation that I have food addiction (for ahem 35 years) but having it slowly sink in gives me hope I can address it. Actually realising it and admitting it is the first big step. Your "chips" comment really hit me with its honesty (a chip fan myself).
I wish you continued success and meaningful recovery.
@@newm1133I'm in the exact same position, quit smoking a year ago and gained 80 pounds. I replaced stress smoking with stress eating because of my already unhealthy relationship with food. What's been working for you?
@@Jmal1090 so my next update on this post is I’m now down 110lbs. Big thing that helped me
Curve the snacking and excess stress was meditation. Quitting smoking is much harder then quitting the snacks but the hardest part is becoming mentally healthy enough to deal with your problems without a coping device. I’m still not perfect but I’m trying every single day. I really hope that you find what you are looking for good luck to you.
We’re gonna need ideas to manage our stress in a healthy way!!
Brilliant and so polite. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺
Truly enjoying this episode while living fasted and eating clean. No more paying homage to The King, The Clown, The Jack and that Red Headed stepchild named Wendy.
I have been having trouble with my weight recently, i am in the 4TH grade i have an addiction, i have lost my addiction but now that i saw this i am even more inspired to keep it off me. I run out of breath to quickly, i cant fit into some clothes and i dont like they way it makes me look. I HATE IT but i am not extremely over weight but its becoming a problem that makes me not like the way i look because looking at my stomach makes or chin makes me realize i need to STOP. I am inspired thanks to this guy. THANK YOU LOTS! 😁
I'm so proud of you for caring about your health, especially at this age, I am 22 years old and am just now facing and getting past my food addiction, I wish I started as young as you, you're such an inspiration!
Anytime! @@TheINFP_Diary
Bravo!! I truly needed some inspiration tonight! There is hope for me going forward!!!
Same
Thank you for sharing Pete.
Well said!
Incredible video -- thank you.
Let's be honest, you searched for this
Unfortunately yes
Thank u ! Long life to u! ✨♥️
Thank you! This really helped!
dry Fasting and eating fruit has saved my life and is now helping me recover
What about fats and proteins? Or do you mean you added fruit to your already ok diet?
Bruh, why is the first add for dominos pizza
I had problems with self-harm, benzo, opoid, and alcohol addiction. Addiction is the person, not the substance. Benzos "weren't addictive" when I was abusing benzos.
Excellent info!
Better than any other doctors that I have talked to!
Im honestly so addicted to fast food! How it tastes, how it makes me feel during. Hate the long term effects of course
I can help you, stop eating it 😏 simple. if you love the taste and feeling, blink and cure your brain, develop some SELF CONTROL, and eat it like once a week or every now and again. not difficult it's all your choices.
@@winterplayz-robloxmore8478kinda sparky though
I say roasted plants are pretty good maybe even lettuce raw lettuce with rare milk and meat and pure wheat plus a tomato
@@winterplayz-robloxmore8478bro it kinda is though what's your stats
Very helpful 🤙🏼
Nice video.... thank you ❤
Excellent. Many morbidly obese people have deficiencies : vitamin mineral and protein and good healthy food , malnutrition exits mire in morbidly obese patients. I know. I worked 40+ years in a lab and saw this in all my obese patients! Such truth. Thank. I am sharing this video on Facebook
Honest n on the face..loved it!
Thank you
Wonderful man 😊
Thank you, that is very kind
@@healthyliving4495 i just want to get loss from food addiction. I lossed 10 kg in 3 months and I regained it.. Within 2 months... I ate like I'm mad. I continued to fill my tummy up even though it is full.... I donno what to do. I need help... That 's what all I know 😭😭😭😭😭
Whole box of donuts🙋♀️
Whole packages of cookies🙋♀️
It's really cheaper to eat healthy, imagine eating burgers and fries everyday how much your spending. Instead of stocking up on fruits and vegetables and meats and grains for a month, instead of having to go to a food joint everyday.
So true
Well. No buying beef and hamburger buns cost as much as a meal, yet it'll last for about a week.
Nope unless you grow them healthy food is a little more expensive like 7 dimes
@@mskissmyazzifywho tf wants week old burger
Once an addict, always an addict. I was able to conquer my addiction for years and maintained a healthy lifestyle, but a trigger event occured and put me right down where I started. You are never safe. This issue is never behind you
just stop doing it, it ain't difficult, if you don't have brain damage, then your able to controll your choices, just don't do the thing your "addicted" to. if you find yourself still choosing to do it, you still want and like doing it. if you TRULY wanna stop you will stop
@@winterplayz-robloxmore8478You definitely haven’t had much life experience, sounds like something i’d say when i was 15 years old
@@winterplayz-robloxmore8478Andrew Tate is that you?
@@LegalizeRanch69 yes, no of course not but I follow him
@@Jamieconstable I'm 16. I clearly don't understand how it is for other people but I know how I would act in a situation like that
I have my DSM copy with me right now. There's a whole section on binge eating disorders from pages 329-354.
This video is from 2018
@@bashmeesh shut
But how do you get there? How do you hear the cravings 😢
I am suffering from one too
I used to eat a whole bag of Doritos in a previous life.. LMAO. Makes me laugh I switched to Sun Chips 'thinkin' its healthier. OH NO. NOT EVEN CLOSE. Oh the memories...
SunChips r good
@@eriomnyc6073 : They are don't get me wrong. Healthy? No...lol.
I used to eat 2 large bags of sun chips in my car with a couple of chocolate bars in a 25 minute drive home from work.
I would've hoped for a little more guidance and ideas on what to do to implement this.
Any updates? Are you still struggling with food addiction brother?
I have some advice, just stop
@@winterplayz-robloxmore8478dingus stop
wow that hit me about the alcoholic I hope it helps me god help me

I’ve always been able to control myself in and out of diets it’s always been easy to lose weight when I want. But now I’m struggling and it’s a full on addiction. I do it for 4 days then I cave and I’m really scared. Any advice on where to begin. I’m really desperate. Everything is emotional. HELP!!
