Insulin or Calories: What's Behind Weight Loss?

- If you want to lose weight, it seems logical to eat less food. But, is it that simple or do hormones control fat loss?
Your body wants balance, so when you eat too few calories for too long, your body adapts by slowing your metabolism. Fortunately, we no longer have to be slaves to the Calorie-In-Calorie-Out philosophy of weight loss.
We now know that hormones, like insulin, determine how our bodies utilize the nutrients we eat. So, does this mean we can eat as much as we want and still lose weight? Not exactly…I explain in the video.

What a great explanation! I agree completely. I am big on a low carb diet, but I have a problem with the folks who suggest that low carb or keto diets automatically guarantee weight loss, regardless of how much you eat. People who go keto but are constantly stuffing themselves with nuts and other lower carb, high fat foods are probably not going to lose weight. Self-control is one of the fruits of the Spirit and it is important, regardless of which diet you are on. This is the one subject that most of our low-carb and keto doctors and experts never address.
I agree with you , you must still count carbs stuff because you may end up overdoing things
Most people experience less hunger which results in a reduction of caloric intake on a low carb diet. However this does not appear to be true for everyone.
I've noticed that if I increase my protein intake and reduce my fat intake, I'll get a lot more hungry. So it could be because they're eating too much protein and not enough fat. We would have to ask one of these people to experiment with their protein to fat ratio to see what they experience.
If they still experience hunger, then they'll definitely have to limit their intake regardless of hunger.
You have such a knack for explaining these concepts in an uncomplicated, seemingly effortless manner. But I have no doubt that these videos take a lot of work. Many, many thanks for helping us understand the science!
Shes uneducated and made a video full if misinformation
Hormones are very powerful. For me, the key was less sugar and reduce refined carbs. But also, fewer big meals and fewer meals altogether. Extending fasting periods and reducing sugar really works. So i try not to spike insulin often. This plan works for me bc i am the classic momentum eater! It is much harder for me to stop eating than it is not to start. I postpone the start. When i do eat, i eat to satisfaction. I eat a lot actually. So i basically have one large meal per day and smaller meals outside of that and some days i just have 2 meals per day. I replace milk w Protein nutmilk. That only has 2g sugar! Insulin messes up leptin and leptin controls appetite. I think leptin is another hormone. Also,stress impacts things. Keep stress down and get good sleep. Sleep is where fat is burned!
I love the new graphics and style of your new videos. You always make understanding the science behind Keto understandable. Thank you!
You are awesome! I haven’t been able to lose for years and used to be a skinny tennis player. Now I am approaching my high school size.
All I do is eat foods with “0” or “1” carb per serving. I eat as much as I want and that’s it.
I eat lots of butter, bacon ,fish, eggs etc.
I am in Ketosis because I can smell it on my breath. The last of the weight should be gone in a couple of months and I will never go back to poison carbs.
For anyone looking for a simple method to think about this process, try this.
Every time you see a carb number
think of it as an insulin number instead. Real simple. Keep it at “0” as best you can and I enjoy eating without the weight gain.
I used to have an impulsive addiction to food but it is don’t over power me like it used too.
I am a 56 year old male and was developing an eating disorder. Now a can go most of the day and not think about food.
Dr. Becky is awesome and I credit her with my weight lose. Thanks Doc.
Thank you for your delivery in making what you are saying so understandable. I always look forward to your new videos and 2 docs also.
Wow! Such fantastic information!! We’re so blessed to have free access to this 💓. And to be able to watch your calm and factual presentation of all of it!! 💓
FANTASTIC video as usual Dr. Becky. You are sooo good at explaining these principles and have opened my eyes to this 21st century dietary regimen.
Shes not a doctor if she believes anything she said
As always, another excellent information. Thank you Dr. Becky.
I love your videos with your simple but easy to understand explanations !
ive now been on keto 6weeks and listen to stuff almost every day, this is hands down the best video that explains the way our body works
WOW. Magnificent video and great explanation on the subject. Wonderful graphics. Becky you are #1 on the subject. You are a great teacher.Thanks again.
Love your channel! You explain things so well. Love from the Sunshine Coast of Australia 🇦🇺
Love the new logo, graphics Dr. Becky! I so enjoy your videos, I am continuing with great success with weight control and more importantly feeling better thanks to you. God bless.
This is the best, most direct explanation I have come across on the challenge and solution to weight loss. I’m in.
Another fantastic, well versed and simply explained video, keep up the great work 👍🏾
My wife is on day 41 of doing a low carb diet with hypothyroidism and has lost 18 lbs. and has 28 more lbs. to go to reach her goal weight. We credit you Dr. Becky for spending your time making quality video's and explaining things well. My wife finally feels like there is hope with her health challenge to losing those extras pounds.
Nope weight loss is calories in calories out though youll lose weight weight faster cause youll retain less water with carbs
There’s a big difference between fat loss and weight loss....
You have such a calming voice
Thank your for explaining it so well. I will read up on your programme and really think about it. I really do enjoy your videos an want to have more control over the food I eat and think you and Keith are a great inspiration.
Just what I needed today! Thank you for the informative inspiration.
What a great video ! You and a couple other Keto channels have changed our lives. I have lost 63# and my wife 28# since Dec 29th !
Thank you !
That was beautifully articulated, Becky!
One of your best yet thanks becks ciao
I fully agree with this lady, no sales pitch here, well done.
Excellent video, thank-you, you make it very clear.
Best info in a long time ☺️ thank you!!!!
You are a great teacher!
Becky, excellent explanation!, our body is wise and more complex than we think.
Great explanation!!!!! I went back to eating low glycemic, while watching calorie intake and I feel wonderful.
One of the best summary regarding a calorie is not a calorie! Thanks
I agree. Everything she says echoes my own experience.
Smart hot Dr Becky. The best advice ever! Thank you so much!
Great information. Thank-you
Great explanation!
Very well put!! Counting calories is a must for me!! At 4’10” and 56 years old, I don’t get too many. Very easy to over eat. I must have balance in everything: strict Keto, intermittent fasting and counting my whopping 1137 calories per day, and getting at least 10,000 steps a day is what it takes for me!! I have started only having two meals a day (no snacks), so I feel like I getting some food!!!
So beautiful information 👍
i love your videos. i've learned a lot. thank you!
your explaination is clear understanding.
Thank you so much for this info
Excellent, excellent information and video! Thank you! :-)
So natural۔No theatrics۔so convinci ng۔Thank you۔
That would be awesome🤗 Thanks so much❤️
Dr. Becky, you do a GREAT job! Thank you.
This is a very nice wight loss video. I saw a video like it : czcams.com/video/StIv2Gs54n4/video.html
Shes not a doctor if she believes anything in this video probably just a chiropractor like dr eric berg i sugguest you read the book the carb myth written by someone with actual creditionals
@@skylermccloud6230 not sure why the remark if you follow Dr. Becky? She didn't post the one with the peppers. She is trained in nutrition and has enough sense to realize that carbs and sugar are the enemy. Perhaps thus far in your life you can eat what you want with no affect and I pray for you that continues. As a person who wants good health I know carbs and sugar can wreck your health. Perhaps you are unaware of Ansel Keys and the influence he had on the population buying into fat being bad for the heart? When he was so persuasive it was the beginning of the uptrend in diabetes which sadly continues. The American SAD diet. Some of us know to follow people that make good sense and I believe you do too or you wouldn't watch Dr. Becky. Try Dr. Boz, Dr. Berry, Dr Cywes and the Diet Doctor who are all MDs who say the same thing. It is foolish to get caught up with titles. NOTHING in life can be in excess.
Thank you for explaining the role of insulin in the body. I never really understood it’s work in relation to sugar, I do now. 💚
Very good video!
I appreciate this information thank you
Very well said Becky I find that all that you said is really good advice and I love your videos if I could I would love to give you a great big hug for turning my life around
Very interesting! Especially the part about daily caloric need based on lean body mass!
Ahhhhh! Now I get it! Thanks.
A producer knows they have ' arrived ' on CZcams when viewers rush to post ' FIRST ' on new videos.
FIRST !
You are so beautiful and pleasant to watch! May God bless you to making these videos and helping people❤️
The main thing about eating right and weight loss is to listen to your intuition about what you eat and taking care of your body, mind and spirit. I’ve just discovered the Medical Medium and that advice really resonates with me.
Thank you for this well-explained information.
I am so glad you mentioned the starvation mode that the body goes into when you stop eating or slow down your caloric intake. I did Michael Thurmond 6-week body makeover years ago and the one thing that I learned was that I stop eating my metabolism slows down and I don't lose any weight or I gain weight which is basically what happened to me I was successful on that diet lost 42 pounds in 7 weeks but it was very very restrictive. And I have a hard time going back to it which is why I'm doing Keto. But I am not having a lot of success on keto as I would like. I'm wondering if I can somehow marry the two plans so I can be happy in my eating and still lose significant weight
Very good information. I always wondered about ,”Do calories matter? “ Thank you this helped.
This is a very nice wight loss video. I saw a video like it : czcams.com/video/StIv2Gs54n4/video.html
This is wisdom.
Hi Dr Becky
Unfortunately years ago I did hcg drops.
Live on 500 calories a day for six weeks.
You are suppose to live on body fat I was starving horrible mood.
Crazy! thanks again for good information. thanks Jennifer 😘 😅If you are a constant over eater
You do have to re learn how to teach you hunger so true!!! Been there
YOU ~ ROCK ! !
Thank you for this very informative video! Since I've switched to eating a plant based low carb way I finally have managed to lose 15 pounds! I've limited grains and beans which has allowed my body to keep my insulin low. I'm hope to see more research on eating plant based and low carb keto.
Wow video!
Great video. I agree with you, both are important.
I consumed yesterday 2,200kcal and 58% of that was provided by fat. No processed carbs. I feel satiety.
I think emotional eating can really screw up a low csrb diet plan. I've found great success since I started looking into my emotional eating issues.
I have been adding a few grams of weight each week , a daily wholemeal roll with banana might be causing it but then again it may be too many handfuls of raw almonds or slithers of cheddar cheese during my one meal aday , just cannot go back to the rigid calorie counting that was so effective.
So accurate and we’ll explained! 💕
Thank you for explaining this subject. Is it possible to follow the diet you are discussing when following a vegan life style?
In my opinion, it is more challenging.
@@beckygillaspy Thank you for your reply.
I think this is the answer to the puzzling problem of weight loss.
In my 30s I could skip a meal or two and drop a few pounds Although I’m 10 pound overweight I still need to lose it Thanks for explaining this so plainly!
I have found that where keto gets tricky is in protein intake. For example. You want a ribeye steak with asparagus. You used to eat 16 oz steak with potatoes and asparagus. So you cut out the potatoes you have a good meal, and yes you do however I would sneak in a couple spoons of sauce (carb) and I was still hungry even after eating a 16 oz ribeye. I cut out the 5g of sauce and I find myself full on 8-10 oz ribeye and asparagus. I might even have a salad with full fat dressing or put some butter on top of the ribeye. I am fully satisfied until almost noon the next day (16 hours) Atkins says EAT all the fats and proteins you want just cut CARBS. That might work for someone fairly thin to begin with that has good insulin sensitivity or perhaps a bodybuilder but if you're obese and over age 50+ like me and have insulin resistance you'll find excess protein will ruin your diet and having you craving. So take it from me. Use the carbs for kale, spinach, green salads, green beans, brocolli, asparagus, if you want have some cauliflower mashed potatoes with lots of butter. You'll be in heaven and not crave so much. You'll find 10 oz seems like 22 oz steak and fill you up. You'll find your fork moving very slowly LOL instead of ravenously gobbling up 3-4 bites at a time with a slice of texas toast haha. If you follow Dr Becky's advice you'll be able to easily lose 50, 70 and 100+ pounds never feel hunger and normalize your insulin. At which point you can probably add a few things to your diet because you'll have corrected your situation or you might just decide to make it a lifetime way of eating.
I’m having trouble. On Keto, I went from 249 to 215. Then, for five months now I’ve stalled completely at 218. I do not cheat, I stay between 15-20g carbs each day and 75% of what I eat is fat. I only eat two meals a day and 16:8 fast. I’m barely 5 feet tall and just turned 50. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Any advice would be appreciated.
Age old question how many grams of protoen per lean mass body wieght. Some say a whole gram down to .5 per pound. What do you think.
Hi Becky ... I'm new to your channel, and thinking of calling you tomorrow for coaching. I have a question after listening to this video, and several of your others. Unless I misunderstood I think you're saying to calculate macros based on "Lean mass" rather than calculating it on TDEE? Did I understand that correctly? If that is the case then (I think) my total caloric intake would be less than 1200 calories per day, and I've read in many reputable places that women should not go under 1200. Could you address that question? Respectfully submitted and thanks for all the wonderful information.
Hi Angelas, in the coaching program, we teach you how to base the lowest calorie intake on your lean mass, so you are not eating to support fat mass. That level is then adjusted based on your activity level.
Hey Becky, I'm New to your channel.Love you and your husband.I have a question? ? I'm 5.6 and 142 and my bodyfat is 5 percent. Dexascan of course.I'm an endurance and calistenicsvaddict.Is it safe doing keto being this lean?? I've been doing it 1 year now.Been thinking about Carnivore diet. What's your opinion on this exteme diet??? Please respond??? I've gotten all my lab's done, perfect cholesterol,etc.Is it safe being this lean year round?? God bless you and Keith.
Hi Kevin, I would not recommend the carnivore diet for an endurance athlete. As for remaining lean all year round, if you've been working with your doctor and getting routine blood work, I would say that is the way to do it.
Excellent Doc🤗 .. I’m Keto/LowCarb and lost 30 lb, and in a great place👍🏼 But along with that and Intermittent Fasting I’ve lost sooo much hair😭 I need to tweak my Plan! I’ve begun adding more calories as suggested by some.. and now up 3 lbs in a matter of a week(the scale says)😬 Pls advice Dr Becky?
Also anyone with experience in this🤗 Thanks so much!
Hi Vickie, hair loss is an issue I have heard from others on my channel. It may be a topic for a future video.
Mam hair falling on keto diet what to do?pls reply
Cool
i love you videos please how many carb you eat in aday thank
Hi Milly, I stay in the low-carb range as I mentioned in this video: czcams.com/video/wadh7IcWgH4/video.html
Ok I am a type 2 diabetic. My bg’s are out of control right now. (bg’s is blood glucose) i am in the mist of packing and moving. Please help me on controlling my bg’s and lose weight as well.
Thank you Hugs 🤗
When you add exercise to the equation, how does it change how keto works (if at all)? Thanks for all this great information!
Hi Mary, that is a big question...maybe a video for the future.
Becky Gillaspy Thanks for your reply! I am active, running and doubles volleyball, but would like to lose more weight for performance. Trying to figure out what works for me. Thanks for your straight forward explanations!
explained a lot. is there a way to determine your lean body mass short of being clinically tested? I'm doing keto and have lost weight, but always looking for more info. I've never been a sweets eater, but have tried losing weight via reducing calories. that never worked well. the weight I gained was more from stress plus menopause than anything.
Finally losing weight on keto, but don 't know how to adjust my caloric intake for my lean body mass since I don't know what that is. I keep track of intake using my fitness pal app and often get the message (when I close out the day) of "you're not eating enough" so it won't calculate approx weight at the end of 5 weeks......... I'm not sure how to get around that. I did find your comments on dairy being a possible interference. I drink coffee during the day with heavy cream. 2-3 cups per day, (it's kind of my treat). I don''t mind it black, but creamed is a wonderful thing.
female - 5'10" /65 / hoping to reach goal weight of 150-155. 11 lbs down and counting.
Hi ssarge2, you can determine your lean mass by first determining your body fat%. We have videos in our coaching program that explain how to calculate your lean mass and determine your caloric needs based on that amount.
Both.
Keto or no keto but when I cut out sugar, whites and refined food, take lots of fiber, healthy fats, walk 30 mins everyday, I lost 12 lbs in 4 months. BP dropped from 200 to 110. However, I don't want to loose more weight (from 125 down to 103 !). Now I am trying to have more protein in my diet and a piece of sprouted wheat bread now and then. Will see what happens.
Hi
I agree with most of what she said except that when you’re going on a low carb keto genic diet fat calories are necessary. If you try to regulate calories coming from fat you’re not going to ketosis or it may take you months to get there. If you want to lose weight on a ketogenic diet think about calories and only two areas carbs and protein. Once you reach ketosis and you’ve been there for a few months you can lower your calorie input overall to lose weight faster. If you do not put enough fat in at the beginning your body will not learn to use it as fuel and just slow your metabolism down to adjust for less calories input. The more fat you put in the lower your insulin and the faster your body learns the new fuel. Your body will prefer fat which it turns into key tones for fuel but will also use carbs if needed. That’s called metabolic flexibility or keto adapted.
My daughter is built like me larger upper body. Apple shape. I am trying to convince her that low carb is the best thing for her. Due to almost every person grandparents (all) mother and father type 2 diabetes. She says her boyfriend thinks high carbs are the best. They are both large and will not listen to mother. Lol
What ways can I let her know that low carb not necessarily keto is the best way to eat?
Ur 100% right. Lean Body weight is the only weight to use for any nutritional calculations. Ur fat oesn't need feeding! I don't get why no-one else stresses this. Baseing Calories and macros on total BW is just ridiculous!
Thanks for this! My question after watching this is, how come we gain weight the ? Wouldn’t our body speed up metabolism or burn extra calories to obtain/maintain homeostasis? I’m 50 and finding that my body easily gains weight but it has been sooo hard for me to lose it!
Hi Ann, metabolism will speed up with extra calories in a healthy body, but our modern food choices make this metabolic advantage easy to overcome.
This is a very nice wight loss video. I saw a video like it : czcams.com/video/StIv2Gs54n4/video.html
Question: Are the recipes for a family? a couple? or an individual. I am a widow...so need a daily meal plan that is suitable for one.
Hi Sally, if you are referring to my 21-Day Low-Carb or Keto Challenge, the servings can be adjusted down. Here is information about the challenges: www.drbeckyfitness.com/get-started-2/
Can I repair a damaged/slowed metabolism and, if so, how? I’m 45 and pretty sure that this is one of my many problems:(
Hi Tony, you can work with your body where it is. This is the type of thing we help members of our coaching program figure out.
I went to a Dr because my sugar drops really low and she said my pancreas makes too much insulin what diet is right for me.
Jeffrey Newinski try intermittent fasting
So.....in a brief summary, calories in vs. calories out. There are no reliable weight loss studies (equating protein and calories) that show reduction of one macronutrient is superior to the other.
Well this should be good. I have no hormones and losing weight is a big
S O B.
I actually had to lower how much fat I was taking in in an effort to kick-start my weight loss. I think I am one of those people that does not respond well to fat
I'm type 2 diabetic I stop my insulin and lost 40lbs and muscle mass, I look skeletor
The false hunger comment...Are you referring to leptin resistance? if so how do we become more leptin sensitive?
Hi Warren, in the video, I was referring to a perceived hunger, not specifically leptin resistance.
I have been doing low carb for 6 weeks approximately 1400 calories a day. I've lost about 4 lbs..I'm very frustrated ..I have had better success on 1000- 1200 calories a day just eating healthy..I'm really frustrated with the lack of results I am getting. I would love to know why this is such a struggle for me.
I had issues with keto at first also, but watching these videos and Eric Berg and Jason Fung, I kept at it, and now I'm down 20 pounds in 4 months. Good luck!
My question is, how do you lose weight when medications are at fault ?
I don't eat processed foods, red meat/pork, and keep my carb/sugar count down. I have access to lots of healthy veggies, especially during the garden season. But, I seem to ruin it at night by having a couple glasses of wine. I live in Northern CA where we have amazing wineries/wine, and I don't want to give it up. I want to lose 10-15 lbs. Keto did not work for me, I am assuming because of the wine intake. I have started intermittent fasting at least twice a week. Any other suggestions?
Hi Lisa, these are the types of things we help members of our coaching program figure out. If you have any interest, you can learn more here: www.drbeckyfitness.com/coaching
Snake Diet, snake juice & fasting & DRY fasting....I NEVER felt better in my life! People...watch Cole Robinson & Siim Land video.
I checked his site out, but can't tolerate the yelling.
Sugar happened.
I did strict keto for a full year no cheating and it didn’t work at all.
Do you or does anyone that watches your Channel know if green beans are acceptable on a low-carb diet
Hi Larry, green beans can be worked into a low-carb diet, but, as with any food, you need to account for the carbs.
Becky Gillaspy do you mind if I ask you how many carbs you recommend in a day if your trying to lose 60 to 70 lb
Why the chicken 👀 looking at u like that 🤪
