  • What if nonfat foods are actually making us less likely to lose weight? Neuroscientist Krzysztof Czaja's research focuses on obesity and finding no-surgical ways to overcome it. What his research has uncovered so far will surprise you. Krzysztof Czaja’s obesity research focuses on changes in the human brain following a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. His lab at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia is investigating the role of neural gut-brain communication in the development of obesity with the goal of finding non-surgical ways to overcome it. His work has been featured in Science 2.0, ScienceDaily, and Quartz. Krzysztof, an associate professor at UGA’s Department of Veterinary Biosciences & Diagnostic Imaging, has authored more than 50 peer-reviewed research papers and several book chapters. He holds a D.V.M. from the Veterinary Medicine College at the Academy of Agriculture and Technology in Olsztyn, Poland and a doctorate in neuroanatomy from the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn. 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

    Very interesting! Many people say to "limit sugar", but can't give us the peek inside the body that he does. It's very motivating to see (among other things) the scientifically demonstrated cycle of sugar intake--> toxic gut bacteria--> gut inflammation--> leaky gut--> fatty liver--> more obesity. His voice is almost hypnotically calming but it's well worth making the effort to really pay attention. Thank you for this video!

      I kind of always knew this just be learning from my body. Everytime I'd eat sugar my stomach would just be terrible and the next day I'd feel awful, perform awful, and my bowels would be awful. Not with normal amounts of sugar in food like fruits and what not, but with added processed sugars like in cookies and cakes and donuts.

    It's not about what you eat, it's about the how, when and the why. Listen to your gut and to your hunger, and to your gut and hunger only. Make concious decisions: "What do i want to eat? What do i crave?". Learn to listen to your hunger and stop if you are not hungry anymore. Don't eat if you are not hungry.

    Can you eat rice and potatoes? They are low in sugar. I've always heard they turn to sugar after you eat them. Thoughts?

    • @rossdempsey829
      @rossdempsey829 Před 5 lety +8

      All carbs are turned into sugar once digested be it skittles, OJ, Potatoes or rice. The rate at which this happens depends on the type of carb and fiber content. Rice and potatoes are relatively slower digesting but your individualized recommended intake of carbs will dictate how much you can eat. A diabetic can eat fast digesting carbs but a smaller amount with more slower digesting carbs while maybe athlete would be better to eat a higher relative proportion of fast digesting carbs mixed with some slow digesting carbs due to the demands of their exercise regime, its all context specific. Ask your doctor or local health professional for your own specific guidelines, CZcams is the wild west. GL.

    "95% of diets fail" needs to be amended to "95% of people who lose weight put back it on". The diet actually works, it's the person who fails to adhere to it long term that's the "failure". People think that as soon as they reach their ideal fitness level and weight goal, they can just click "save" and go back to how they were eating & exercising before their diet. Another issue is that these individuals don't pick diets that they can adhere to long term. The best diet is the one which you can maintain for the rest of your life.
