- Special thanks to John Gunstad, professor with the Department of Psychological Sciences at Kent State University, for speaking with us about his cutting-edge research on how losing weight affects brain function.
Following is the transcript of the video:
Here’s what losing weight does to your body and brain.
During the first week, you may find it easy to lose weight by simply switching to a healthier diet. But as your metabolism adjusts, you won’t burn as many calories as you used to.
So losing additional weight will become harder.
Making matters worse, as the fat melts away, you’ll start to experience an increase in appetite. After a meal, fat cells release a hormone called leptin into the bloodstream.
This surge in leptin levels signals to your brain you’re full and should stop eating. But with less overall fat, people who lose weight show a measurable dip in leptin.
Brain scans of obese patients who had lost 10% of their body weight revealed that less leptin leads to increased activity in regions of the brain that control our desire to eat.
The result isn’t just an increased appetite but an even stronger urge to eat fatty, high-calorie foods, because your brain is trying to restore the body’s leptin levels to normal.
However, fighting that early impulse to gorge on pizza and donuts is worth it in the long run.
Besides the decreased risk of heart disease, hypertension, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes, scientists studying overweight people discovered that losing just one pound of body weight reduces four pounds of pressure on knee joints.
Losing excess weight also reduces strain on the blood vessels, increases blood flow to the brain, and boosts overall brain function.
Several studies have shown that people who underwent weight-loss surgery saw an improvement in memory, concentration, and problem-solving skills in as soon as three months.
Plus, brain scans indicate that people who lost weight and kept it off for nine months reacted differently when shown images of high-calorie foods than before they lost the weight.
The brain regions that process reward, motivation, and taste didn’t react as strongly, whereas the areas that promote overall self-control had a boost in activity.
So fighting those cravings early on might make them easier to control later. Turns out - like anything else - losing weight can get easier with practice.

Another benefit: increased self confidence and that's priceless.
i hate confident people. they are mostly dumb. smart people are introverted and depressed as you should be

Self control is like a muscle. It gets tired easily in the beginning but the more you exercise it the stronger it gets.
And it's easier to maintain self-control if you keep a positive attitude and don't obsess over setbacks, so no "Well, somehow I didn't lose weight/gained weight this week, so let's just give up because that's all I can do"
I've lost 25lb over the summer, just walking every day, lifting weights and trying not to eat as much. It's surprisingly easy to keep the routine going once you get through the first few weeks. Once you start seeing results, you'll start doing more and more just from the positive results and how you feel. At 31, I'm the lightest I've been since I was 17! Interestingly, as I continue to lose weight, friends of mine are finding it! Lol
Same with my brother and me. I lost 17kilos or 37.4lbs since September and while I am steadily losing weight thanks to slightly increased activity paired with a moderate calorie deficit, my brother is actually gaining it.
You are not in the hardest part yet, which is keeping the weight. As Ou do not see any "results", meaning no weight loss, just keeping the same diet and qeight forever, then it starts to be eeally hard.
Congrats!
I started riding a bicycle because my doctor told me I had high blood pressure. My intention was not to lose weight but get my blood pressure under control. I lost 45 lbs in 4 months without trying just by riding a bicycle 150 feet to the end of the street and back. I never changed what I was eating. I now ride a bicycle 28 miles every day and I have 1,300+ consecutive days of riding. I don't do it to lose weight, I do it to not lose the fitness that I have. You can find videos of how I started on my user page and also my name without the space on strava.
Same boat m8, uts fun actually. Lowest weight since i was 16..
Simple :
Losing weight makes you stronger, faster, and smarter.
side effect : "good looking"
yes do it for the benefits of you and a wellbeing. Otherwise, that is how obessesions, insecurity, and disorders start where youll find yourself truly never happy.
smarter
+Fishtitan2.0 0 disorders what why can you explain
because you'll be a constant fight with yourself of body image and never believe you made it there if you exercised only for that intent.
Side side side effect -YOU LOVE YOUR SELF
Something no one will tell you about losing weight. You'll be cold AF all the time. Coming from someone who lost 70lbs.
Alex Koch totally man I lost 50lbs when I went vegan and got hella cold
123456bmx I’ve never been so cold since I went vegan. And I wasn’t even overweight to begin with!
Alex Koch I've lost just 10 lbs and I get cold
Me too 😓 it’s literally 30 degrees outside and I have to wear a jumper...
That is so true, lost 95lbs, I can literally wear a hoodie in the summer now
I lost 70 pounds the past 9 months lifting weights, doing cardio exercises and riding a bike. I'm 29 and in even better shape than I was after basic training in the military at 19 years old. If anyone is struggling to lose weight who is reading this..it might be tough, you might want to give up, but keep pushing! Good things will come out of it!
Thank you
Props to you. Down 32lbs in 6 weeks and finally hit a wall just changing up some exercises and adding a little more weight to get me through this.
Im curious to hear where you are now, a year or so later?
Exercising can be hard sometimes but It always makes me feel better. Last year I had almost 300 lbs in body weight. One day I just started moving more, then slow running then I started doing weighted exercises and I was eating clean by following meal plan I got from Next Level Diet. Today I have 200 lbs and I am happy like I never been in my life.
That’s awesome bro

Andre Moseley I have lost 70 pounds and it's the greatest decision of my life your diet is key! Gym is a extra but do both and you will loose weight garenteed. If you love certain foods don't cut them off just eat less lower calories a day plus burning off extra calories though the gym will guarantee success!! Good luck 😄
Andre Mosely i lost 14 pounds in two weeks so far. All i did was stop eating.
John Quiroz good job
Yo people. The amout of weight lost depends on what they're initial weight is when they started diet/exercising.
I've lost 50 pounds over the last four months, and like the video stated, it was easy at first. The pounds literally just melted away, all I would do is walk or jog for an hour 4-5 days a week and have one meal. I was incredulous at the results and berated myself for not starting to lose weight sooner. It seemed so easy, I was highly motivated and had minimal cravings. At around 30 pounds lost, I felt like I hit a plateau, the weight loss slowed, and the cravings(especially late at night) came back in full force. After relapsing I doubled down and made it to losing 40 pounds, but the cravings came back even more intensely, after struggling with that for a while, I pushed on and reached the 50 pound milestone. I still get intense cravings, and it's really hard, but this video helps me understand why and puts things into perspective. Thanks.
you should do a refeed (idk if that is how its spelled) once in a while. I lost around 60 lbs and every three weeks or so I increase my calorie intake for around 3 days. Nothing too crazy but like I add a hamburger for one day. A bag of chips for another, A burrito for another etc. It keeps me going.
So cravings always happen, just have to find a healthy filling alternative. Protien snacks are always filling.
Try resistance training (weights lifting or bodyweight exercise). The increase in muscle mass will mean you can consume more calories anyways. Restriction diets and constant cardio just makes a person into a body builder who only does cut phases.
Not mentioned is that if you lose 50 pounds and then walk the same distance as you did when you were 50 pounds heavier, you will burn up far fewer calories! Same as a small car uses less gas to go the same distance as a big one. So you do need to keep pushing at it. But then if you walked an hour the new 50lb lighter you can jog for an hour? Ramp it up.
You mention cravings. Is this for a particular food or is it basically that you are hungry?
You need to accept that where you were before the weight loss was not right and that you need to make permeant changes beyond denying yourself food and jogging.
One meal a day is mad! You should easily be able to have 3 decent meals per day and still lose weight. If you are just eating one meal of junk food instead of 3 meals of junk food then you have not fixed things properly. Good whole food. Cut out Alcohol, all sugar, and really reduce fat. Dairy is a bad habit too. Good whole carbs are fine, mostly it is the sugar or fat added to them that is the problem. Eat raw food rather than cooked, whole rather than liquified and make everything rather than buying anything ready made. Learn what is in food. Eat you meals at a table while doing nothing else, enjoy your food. Enjoy burning it off however you do it.
Dean said I understand what you are going through. I've lost about 50 pounds also and still have cravings for junk food. My weight is steady and probably where it needs to be.
For anyone wanting to start or don’t know where to start remember the daily sugar intake for a male is 36 g and the daily intake for a female is 24 g reduce the amount of sugar you take or if can just stop eating sugar at all and you’ll see how much weight you can burn.
Why count the sugar intake? Just count the calories on the label and keep it under 2000/day bro
@@BO-br6tr it is just better to have less sugar and sugar doesn't even fill you up
@@BO-br6tr it's not only the amount of calories it's the quality and content of calories that matters too. If you take less sugar your body stores less fat due to management of insulin and inflammation reduces.

Mental strength is important to losing unnecessary body fat, so said the enlightened kung fu clerics.
I mean, the body burns more trying to keep you warm in colder environments. So its not a bad idea.
P.S. Its not cold everywhere on the planet. I live on Hawaii, it tends to be summer all year long.

Have to say after losing 20kg in 7 months my cravings for high carb/fatty foods like pizza have dipped drastically. First few months the cravings were high but with a cheat day once a week it kept it all in check.
STAY STRONG PEOPLE, weight loss is about patience and commitment. Good luck!
Nice tip im starting today with the cheat meal :)
@@glaciveestudios6170 it's simple maths kcals in vs kcals out. And to not put ur body in a fat storing state just cheat meal once a weak
@@glaciveestudios6170 as interesting as the human body is, it cannot defy the law of thermodynamics and physics. You can’t gain weight on a caloric deficit.
@@glaciveestudios6170 what you spout is the kind of unscientific speech that just adds a layer of confusion to people who want to lose weight.
Sure, you can mess up your metabolism and get your weight back eventually, but that's only if you severely restrict your caloric intake. Otherwise, there is no proven method of losing weight; it's always about controlling caloric intake and not about controlling your micronutrients nor macronutrients intake.
Some foods improve satiety, but that's about it
@@glaciveestudios6170 highly depends on how many calories, are we talking a 1000 calorie deficit or 100-250 calorie deficit because any type of starvation diet will always fail
I was 300lbs just a little over a year ago currently at 207lbs. Getting started is the hardest part but after you get into a routine it’s the simplest thing ever. Best advice to give would be to cut out sugar there are many great zero sugar alternatives out there if you’re craving something sweet. Also working out even if it’s just 3 days a week for an hour you will feel so much better and the results will show in due time.
For me the tricks to losing and keeping off weight:
-Do small changes gradually: this is a marathon, not a sprint. Do slight adjustments every day means they could be maintained over time.
-Eat a little less than I burn: only eat till I'm not hungry, not till I'm full.
-Befriend slight hunger: be a bit hungry for awhile before I eat. Like intermittent fasting, but not as extreme.
-Reduce sugar intake: I pretty much cut out soft drink, though still eat chocolate once in awhile.
-Use belly fat as a gauge: if I squeeze my belly, and there's still some fat, I could eat a little less.
-Exercise everyday: does not need to be overboard, even a few minutes every day is good.
@Leila Perrien "Super toxic" in the sense of negative judgment of self? I don't see it that way. I see it as a practical indication that e.g. I could eat a little less rice. But I could see how others could see it differently. Do what works for you. : )
@Leila Perrien if you have an ed then you probably shouldn’t do that because it would only make you feel worse about yourself but for others it could help motivate them to lose weight
Cut out soft drink might sounds simple but in my case it's truly made huge impact.
I used to be really fat. I was on the verge of developing serious health conditions. I remember not being able to tie my shoelaces and my sleep suffered as well. My life changed when I finally set my mind to the thinking that anything is possible if you decide so. I took a meal plan to start with. I created it online, on dietarize, which was super helpful to me. I didn't have to worry about calories, macros, nutrients and all that stuff, I just focused on walking long distances and exercising after I got on a level where I could do some simple workouts. I hope my story will inspire you to do the same. To change your body you must first change your mind!

I started using an exercise bike back in March. When I started, I was burning just over 400 calories during my 60 minute workout. Throughout the past nine months, I've increased the difficulty every couple of months and am now up to burning just over 1,000 calories in 60 minutes. I've been doing this daily since March and lost over 50 pounds. I've been eating healthier, too. I feel healthier, look healthier and my mental state has improved tremendously.
Well done, bud. I'm a fatboy (obese) and I just bought an exercise bike myself about a week ago and I've been hitting it every day. I do about 20-25 mins and burn around 400 calories, according to my gauge anyways. I'm sure it's a bit less than that, maybe 300-350. But I feel so amazing for the rest of my day. I'm also in a major calorie deficit due to eating smarter and fuller foods. Can't wait to drop my 50 lbs like you did. Keep at it and God bless!
That’s awesome! 🙌🏽
@@--AE-- so, how's your progress? It's been 4 months since you typed this.
@@submariner144 I started out about 217-220 when I wrote that, and I'm down to 173 now. I feel amazing and look 100x better. I still want to lose about another 10 lbs I think, maybe to 165. I can see the first 2 abs below my pecs barely starting to show, but there's still too much fat in that area.
@@--AE-- awesome job dude!!
I’ve been dieting for also 2 years now and I’ve gone from 400 lbs to 238lbs. I went from size 50 pants to 38. My diet was at first diabetic diet then keto. I’m no longer on insulin and control my diabetes with diet. I feel amazing and have more energy. My sleep is more restful and snoring is gone. Losing weight is a battle but it’s worth it.
👏
How are you even that fat in the first place lmao this is the problem with America
Intermittent Fasting + daily workout change my life.
Omg same✨
Absolutely! Fasting for 7 days every 6 weeks. Keep up with the exercise. Results: great body and healthy mind at age 42! Healthy and happy.
i dont think you have to fast as much as i did but man i used to fast SO HARD i never got past 1.6k calories a day for abour 1-2 months(well yes sometimes i did but only for a few days) at the end i got from 87 kg to 73 kg. Yes i got some cons like low energy. Later on i never got past 73. I had GREAT appetite and couldnt keep myself from eating
High calorie food like i did before and i got to 77 before that appetite stopped. Im now at 74 and its very stabilized i never go above. I put myself a weight limit. It helps more than you think. Two things i saw changed. I was a lot more lighter when running and my endurance skyrocketted( maybe thats because i go to cycle with my dad for long distances,go play with my friends a lot and im a quite active guy. But it was never like this. Before i could ran for 1.5 hours when playing football but now i can easily play for more than 3 hours.). Im 1.68 cm tall

@@dwecktek lmao
For me it’s the opposite. When I’m bored I feel the urge to eat. When I’m doing something, it distracts me from my appetite.
What matters is you kicked ass, regardless of boredom
Kudos
Awesome!
This is so accurate. I lost 45lbs this year (started 10-months ago). Everything in this video happened to me.
Deym. After watching this video and understanding more just how difficuly it is to lose weight, kudos and mad respect to anyone who have successfully lost weight. And to anyone still trying to do so and working hard for it, we believe in you, you can do it and keep up the good work, you also deserve our congratulations for all the hard work youve done so far, so congratulations.
The hardest part, at least for me, is getting started. I'm beginning to reduce my sugar intake and raise my water intake and look to increase my activity level. So sensible changes that can last a while.
Little improvements, every day, add up. Just keep on keeping on !
Cutting out sugar is step one. No more soda, sugar in coffee, deserts every day... then from there you eat less... preferably less carbs... couple these with weight training, good sleep and good hydration and your body will adjust and start shedding the weight.
I agree personally for me I give up way too fast after getting tired once and don’t have any energy
Its good that you are trying. But pro tip: get a routine. A boring routine. Body becomes fat after the hormones go awry. And the hormones go awry when our cycadian rythm is disrupted. Turns out our endocrine system regulates our mood and cravings, which is only regulated by a proper sleep cycle. Work with ur cycadian rythm. Wake up an hour before sunrise. Go to sleep within an hour of sunset. In the meanwhile, make sure you take out 40 mins for some sort of physical activity: some cardio, some zumba, some planks. Preferable if it is done early morning after having an apple.
Everything will fall back into right place if you make sure to wake up early morning. Just switch your binge-watching personal time from late night to early morning. That will get you on the right track.
See a nutritionist. I was clueless/lazy to search on the internet ways to lose weight (besides of course doing exercise). When paired with their help, I could lose 21kg to this day (since december of the last year) and I'm going for more.
Read this, important comment, not those joke comments.
Losing weight is the best guys, I started training thtee martial arts in the 2nd of February of this year, by this day i lost 50 pounds.
If you are willing to follow the advice of a stranger on the internet, hear me out.
If you have time and have the possibility to train something, do it man, it will make your life better in every way.
You'll meet new people(Possibly the love of your life), youll be healthier, never be bored, be accepted in new communities and you might just find that you were born for that kind of thing.
Takes a lot of suffering and time but you'll find that the reward is 10X better.

During quarantine, I gained almost 50 pounds. I woke up one day looked in the mirror and told myself that I looked absolutely repulsive. At that moment I needed to change how I lived. I did research that whole day on diet planning, workout routines, then planned out how to check progress. I started on June first of 2020, about 3- 4 months later I lost 40 pounds from following the plan and watching guys on CZcams. I started at 245 now a year later I’m 200-205 lbs I keep fluctuating. Goal weight I am shooting for is 190 lbs. The hardest part of this journey is to stay consistent and fight the cravings of wanting sweets and fatty foods. It’s ok to have a cheat day, just watch how much you put in. Moral of the story, now I am in the best shape of my life and I couldn’t be happier.
Who's the CZcamsr?
Been 11 months for you lol but I hope you reached your goal and still going strong!! Honestly I'm in an identical boat to you. I was 230 beginning of 2021. As of now, I'm 202.5lbs. Amazing what we can accomplish
Who's the youtuber
Can confirm this is true I lost weight from 150 lbs (68kg), I'm 108 lbs (49kg) now. For the first few weeks, the urge to eat becomes very strong. To those of you who struggle, I suggest you frequently drink water. This reduces the times I think about food, atleast that worked for me. Also count your calories, only eat what you need for the day, this varies if you workout or doing hard physical labor.
The benefits will be worth it. It helped me mentally and kept me disciplined. I seem to be more productive than I ever was.
And always remember that fitness is a lifestyle not a one time success.

Can you Americans make it simple,why use lbs instead of kgs like the rest of the world.
Luis. k no
Guarantee you're one of those people that use stones
Luis. k because why drive on the left or the right, doesn’t matter which you choose both are basically the same, another example, when you go to the pub you don’t ask for 750ml of beer do you, you ask for a pint
Luis. k Simple. It'd be way too expensive to work. Everything that is measured needs to be changed, from street signs to gas prices. Besides, a lot of people in the USA use the Metric System, such as scientists and doctors. Multiple acts have been passed trying to bring America to use the Metric System, and associations have been formed to push for Metric adoption. However, they have failed due to the mass amount of reform and money required to make the change. Have a good day.

*Thank you for breaking down the science behind weight loss in such an understandable way!*
I started my weight loss journey at about 16 years old. I am barely 19. I have been on and off because of life just happening, and I’ve lost 63 pounds so far. I started at 230, weight is 167 now. Current goal is 150. I am 5’2, so my height and weight combined made me feel like trash. I’ve dealt with depression and just a very long list of mental illness diagnosis as well as intensive therapy since I was 10. In the last 2 years I’ve been on a very steady journey. One thing I learned is that overeating makes me feel terribly nauseous and sick, to identify when it is time to stop. Doing it all the time made me feel miserable but I would keep going because I love LOVE food and have a binge eating disorder, so my lifestyle changes and some other mental BS I had to process gave me some handle on it and it’s pretty much under control right now! When I would go up the stairs I needed at minimum two minutes to catch a breather before I could talk properly. Now I can go up and down like it’s nothing. Not even after going up and down 10 times. My joint pain has lessened. I’ve realized how great working out consistently makes me feel. I have burn out sometimes like any normal person and shit is still tough, but I’d be lying if I said I want to stop completely. I look forward to doing it now. This journey has taught me soooo much about myself and my want to treat my body right; even to love myself when I hate it most and to recognize how hard it works for me. I crave vegetables now. It is some major rewiring. It doesn’t make everything perfect but it sure helps. It’s just insane.
Nice going Violet! I am also 5’ 2” and and I get the feeling like trash. When I started losing I was near 200 and am down to 158. I don’t really know what my end goal is but don’t feel I’m there yet.
Breaking the bad cycle again eh. I lost weight back along and I remember thinking I can't believe I ate portions like that b and completely renewed and rewired my life long bad ways. But over last 4 years I've put most back on but after hating myself again for so long I'm tired with that so think I'm back on trying to rewire brain again. I could have a rich tea biscuits in my plan but it's trigger food and makes you feel instantly fat and sluggish.
I went from 230lbs to 160 lbs in a little under a year. I have this lake behind my house that has a trail, Make it half way have to force yourself the other half!
One Bud nice
Dude same I was 230 now I'm 168 in 6 months I just kept doing cardio every single day and broke my relationship with food
I have dropped from 230 to 180 in 3 months now :D
One Bud bruh how the he'll? I'm 240 now train everyday and still none
JAHSTAR92 JACKSON can I ask what type of cardio you were doing and for how long etc
I lost 36lbs (16.3kg) this year, hopefully 40lbs by the end of this month. Only about 5 months of actually being on a diet. If you hit a plateau, I think the trick is to take a break from your diet but don't eat beyond your calculated metabolic rate. I took a break in my diet from June - Sept and did not gain any weight, and when I continued the diet in Oct, I started to lose weight quickly again. You'll get hard cravings and feel almost sick the first week of starting your diet, like a brain fog. After that it will subside.
Make 1 day a week cheat day to keep your metabolism in check. Cut out sugar and refined carbs from your diet. Eat about 1500 calories a day. You'll lose weight even sitting at a desk. Make water your new favourite drink (or tea or coffee - with stevia, not sugar). Caffeine is good because stimulants reduce your appetite.
I lost 163lbs 3 years ago and kept it off since, it's amazing how much better you feel
Last year i lost nearly 20kg in 6 months, it changed how i see myself, I am more confident than ever before
Rejecting the urge to eat fatty foods were totally worth it.
Fatty foods aint the problem if you count the calories
Bro im 12 years old normal weight for my age is 40 kg im 50kg and u know i went to walk with my couxins last month but then my exams came and everything stopped weed slayer Bro please tell how can i lose it
@@nuggetsaregood First you need to control urges and then you’ll see steady weight loss. your body will plateau after a certain point and then you’ll need to exercise in order to lose more weight
Been doing Keto and intermittent fasting since January, and I've lost 71 lbs. I eat a LOT of fatty food.
I lost 8-9 kg in 40 days only
Do running 6km a day and exercise half hour
Don't eat fast food n sugar food
I so agree ..been there done that..Need to get back to where I feel the best less depression..More energy..Less inflammation in my knees Over all better health.
Great video. Informative and educational.
I'm 47 years old and I've been obese my entire adult life. I had a gastric sleeve on May 18, 2018 and after that switched to a whole-foods diet. It's almost three years later and I've lost 83kg (183 lbs.) and feel much, much better! I went from a size 3XL to a size M. When I crave calories I go for healthy sources like fruit and nuts, instead of sugar and oil. And I try to eat as many vegetables as I can. I don't do a ton of exercise although I do enjoy bike riding. I hope I can keep the weight off for good. I agree with the video, it gets easier with time.
Awesome
I'm proud of you!
Great video and straight to the point. I've just started to get myself in shape because I honestly hate being overweight and need to change for good!!!
As a person who passed the weight loss phase and is now putting on muscle i almost look forward to my workouts every day!
Love this video, states all the facts.

the "easier to control later" part is so true. In my high school years (it ended 3 years ago) I was weighting over 91+ kilos, and now the most recent weight I've registrred was 68. Nowadays I just don't feel good about eating hamburguers anymore, I see those extra greasy burguer pics on facebook and start to feel sick in the stomach, but in my second year of high school I could probably eat one of those and still ask for a dessert.
I'm fit and love fast food
@@youwantmyname9208 tbh I love some fast foods too (specially the BK ice creams that have all that layers of chocolate and stuff), and when I think about it it's kinda strange that I don't like hamburguers like before but still like stuff like this lmao
@SantyGSL I don't eat them very often, usually when we have extra money, we just spend it on fast food. And that is around 4-5 month we buy one fast food
Thank you for your value information.

Thank you, from what i know this is some good knowledge, motivating 💯
My dad was hovering around 230lbs for almost 20 years. He reached as high as 240lbs at one point. He was working out five days a week, but his diet was simply not in check. However, finally a year and a half ago he got his diet in check and now he is a lean and mean 180lbs. Keep in mind he’s 6’3” so it’s not obese obese, but still. Very proud of him. I watched him throughout the entire journey.
Okay. All of this is so accurate cause this is exactly what I've been doing and feeling when I've reached my weight loss goal. Its actually insane
1:24 *Four pounds of pressure*.
*SI Units has left the chat*
I’ll leave this here at 1 AM because can’t sleep, nobody’s gonna read it anyway.
I lost 60 kgs in less than a year and I still feel worthless and empty just like when I was 135kgs. Don’t think you’ll turn your life around just because you lost weight, it’s the mindset that must change.
U cant tell me u feel the same.. if u do u might have an underlying disorder
Congrats on the weight loss! There are
Millions of people who wish they could be like you in losing that much weight!
While your experience Is true for you, it doesn’t spread a helpful message to people who want to lose weight.
The reasons you feel worthless and empty have nothing to do with your weight, they have to do with your thoughts, beliefs, and patterns in your self talk. I know this sounds preachy. A comment like yours makes me want to give you words of encouragement to keep going, analyze your values and behaviors, make adjustments, have hope that things can and will get better if you make small changes to your programming, and make it happen for yourself. You get to choose!
There is no miracle way to get better than taking care of yourself and alot of time. You are trying by losing weight which is great! But why did you want to lose weight before? What is bringing you down on the daily?
Intermittent fasting really helps with suppressing appetite, because it lowers insulin resistance. So whatever you eat will be enough to keep you full.
This makes so much sense!!! Thank you. Now I understand why I have crazy urges after losing 4-5 lbs
Informative!
At this point i'm still very shocked with the negative result I got after suffering from hair loss and weight loss for so long. Thanks once again DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on CZcams for your natural supplements💖
I must say a very big thank you for educating me and most of us about leptin. I highly doubt most people even heard abt it before
Knowing why I react this way helps. Thank you for posting this.
Every time I bought clothes and I looked terrible in them, I would always blame the clothes rather than my own body, then keep buying new clothes and would still look terrible and just waste money but then I took action and lost weight worked out and got in shape and now I feel like I look good in anything. I’m telling you, once you lose the weight and workout, you truly will look good in any single thing you put on. I gained WAYYY more confidence to go out and have a good time. I use to have man boobs and flappy arms which looked terrible in any shirt I put on, now I have a flat chest and toned arms love wearing shirts and jerseys everyday. It’s actually kinda crazy, you don’t have to worry about your belly being outlined in a tight shirt or whether ur pants look flabby. When you slim down, no matter what position you’re in you will look good. I went from. 240 to 190 in 4 months. Push yourself and use that as motivation!
Good information thanks for making this video

I went from 250 LBS in January 2017 to my current weight of approx. 150 LBS around July of 2017. If anyone wants any advice I would be happy to share how I did it, but what I learned is that you will only lose weight and keep it off if you are highly self motivated, and have a desire to change your entire lifestyle.
250 pounds of fat? I'm 250 pounds but only 14% body fat I'm not ripped but super muscular
yeah 250 LBS with no physical activity, so in reality I probably lost about 85-90 pounds of fat and maybe 10-15 pounds of muscle.
I’m 260 Lbs, and I’m struggling to stay motivated. (Cliche I know.) but I’m aiming to lose 80Lbs within a year. I’m just wondering if there’s any psychological tricks to stay motivated, and what was it that kept you motivated.
I found that you can only stay motivated if it comes from yourself. You are the only person that will always be able to keep yourself accountable. It is different for everyone, but what finally gave me the motivation to lose weight was when I realized how much weight I had gained in 2016. When I was big, I didn't care what my weight was, but seeing in retrospect how quickly I was gaining weight, it scared me and still scares me.
You have to figure out at what point enough is enough. At what point do you decide that whatever habit you have, be it too many calories or not enough physical activity or both, has gone to far and has to stop.
It really isn't easy, but if you find a way of eating and exercising that works for you, it can be done. That's what I had to do, is make my own plan/diet, because all the diet out there aren't custom enough for most people, and don't take into account your specific needs and challenges, but you can.
If I can do it, anyone can, I'm just some regular guy that stopped eating so much junk food and started exercising and eating right.
Matt Kay For a regular guy you have some good advice. Oh, and I can definitely relate to the fear of gaining more weight. I’ve thought about that for awhile. And I’m totally convinced about losing weight. I’m just at a point where I need to either focus on losing weight right now, or sort out my life before embarking on the weight loss train. Lol, guess it wouldn’t hurt starting now though. Thanks for the reply! Now lets all hope we can stick to these New Year resolutions.
This vid is actually correc bcos the first week i was trying to control my diet was really hard but after sometimes, unhealthy food is like nothing to me and eating and weightlifting healthy food becomes my habit.
eden hazard you weightlift healthy food?
juxtopose HAHA.typo.i eat healthy food and weightlift*
I find when I'm really focused on training a lot it's easier to maintain a healthy diet. Since I work so hard in the gym I don't want sabotage my gains (although I always treat myself to a cheat meal every 2 weeks)
Rebecca A. same as me
That's the worst feeling in the world, you sabotage your gains and you look in the mirror like FUCK all that hard work was for this fucking Mcdonald's Combo and Chocolate Bar? NO MORE!
and then 1 week later you order a Mcdonald's combo
Lol, but really you do get use it after 2 weeks you wont have cravings because you will be determined and have discipline.
been going gym for about 3 months (had covid for 1 month but still lost weight the unhealthy way) lost almost 15 kg so far, getting stronger, family noticing improvements, im not eating fruit or veg as ive never ate that growing up but im slowly introducing it to my meals along with rice, im just eating less junk snacks and having a belvita or a banna/apple and eating less with my meals and not having take out as much, only had it a handful of times in the few months
I used to struggle with my weight, but this incredible product has turned my life around. From 95kg to a fit 60kg, I feel more confident and vibrant
Love this video! Clear, knowledgeable and easy to learn!
That music and that fat guy running at the beginning correlate so well.
SentientSeven X "correlate" not many people know that word😂😂
It’s h3h3
mootfat.xyz - has helped my friend so much with his weight loss. He also used to workout 3-4 days a week and follow lean diet. I have never seen him so happy and confident.
I have lost 65 pounds in the last seven months, mainly through counting calories, but in the last few months I have also started lifting weights and riding bicycle. I haven't been this weight since high school, and I am 68 years old. I am constantly amazed how easily my body moves now and how much energy I have. I am shifting to more protein in my diet, but for weight loss I recommend a diet high in rice and cabbage, with a lot of veggies like cauliflower, green peppers, onions, peas, and carrots.
Good video. I personally lost 66 lbs (30 kg) in 8 months without losing any muscle mass and strength. I followed a high fat, low carb diet and ate 5-6 meals a day. It worked very well for me. No intermittent fasting, no starving myself etc…Losing weight and keeping it of is incredibly easy if you know what you’re doing 🙂
This info makes me feel positive!!
holdupholdup how ? ? ?
I've lost 70 pounds and kept it off for 6 years now, I have bounced back and forth between 10 pounds. Everybody has to find their own way, every diet will work for a while, but people end up gaining it back. Be honest with yourself in what you're willing to do and not do in terms of diet and exercise. You have to balance.
I weighed 135 at 4'11" and lost almost 20 pounds this past summer by walking and doing arm and ab workouts. I now picked up running and it is the best thing that has ever happened.
Thanks for the video is helpful
Interesting when you hear people say "I tried diet and excersise". Because the reality is, it should be as natural as it was in our beginning. You don't just try living and give up.
No one can lose weight by running Not possible for everyone Many people who have health complications BP thyroid asthma Digestion disturb these people can not

Good info as I start my weight loss journey from fat to fit. First couple of weeks, I did lose weight fairly easily. I'm concern as this video state that once my metabolism adjust, losing weight maybe harder. I guess, I'll find out cause it certainly won't stop me from my weight loss journey!
discipline, that's all you need.
I know it's hard to maintain workout, the only thing that can motivate us is that we should love ourselves to invest to it! Let's get healthy together as one ❤️ KEEP GOIN'
At 16 I weighed 210. Then I got a job, stopped eating as much. Took pride in my work and stayed a bit more active occasionally walking to or from work. Now turning 17 I weigh 138 and work out a decent amount. I both physically and mentally feel so much better.
Life saving!!! I was keeping my chips beside me while I was watching this video as I have finished my 7 days water diet. But before keeping on one u popped and I am motivated...I will lay the lays to rest 😉😉 and am heading to evening walk!!!😎💪💪
Don't care if it's true or not... But thanks for the encouragement. Makes us hit the gym... That's what is needed
Absolutely good
I lost almost 10kgs in 5weeks. Only the first n second week u will feel the urge and cravings, but the weeks after that are relatively easy. Your body is really good at adjusting. At 6th week, you can go with just one meal and not feeling hungry at all until ur next meal the next day. And still feel energized. Just drink plenty of plain water. And good luck to anyone going on weight loss journey ♥️♥️
Can I personally message you, please?
no true, This fluctuates between people. Dont make gemeralities out of your own experience.
@@Ghurdill how does my own experience becomes the 'generalities'? Are you always the person who sees the negative in everything? Im merely commenting on my weight loss success, and the people Im doing weight loss with. We are all having the same effects, BEING LESS HUNGRY when we eat less and drink MORE WATER, in about the first few weeks we changed our diet. The point is to encourage people to not give up that easy to lose weight, not just to become one sour ass on the internet :))
Exactly, my Some days pass without need of dinner or craving for normal or fatty food.
You can use it to lose weight easily and healthily
I love how our body is against our own will. Thanks genetics and nature
This has an evolutionary background. Foods with high amounts of fat and overall calories serve as reserve. Living every day on the bare minimum and working out to lose weight is only possible because of our comfortable lives nowadays. To the people reading this: Today we have uncountable ways to lose weight and get away from obesity! During covid I gained 10Kg and now I am in my third week of working out while having changed to a more healthy diet. Result: 5kg lost already! You just have to fight our genetic urge to be lazy!
Amazing video.
Proud of you bro♥️
I do xperience these cravings. But i controls it as much as 90% times. Sometimes 😋

I found one thing that's been helping me is indulging in foods that are high in healthy fats. ie Avocados, whole milk cottage cheese, peanut products and nuts. Also indulging in carbs from things like plantains instead of things like toast and bagels.
Mech Hacks doesnt happen on the ketogenice diet
90% of the time turns into sometimes. You're very smart, aren't you?
define "sometimes"
another thing that happens to your body (if you lose a lot of weight) is that you can develop loose skin. Make sure you moisturise everyday and drink loads of water. For me I had loads of fat lumps in my lower stomach that I had to massage out. It could just be me though. Another thing is that everything becomes uncomfortable! Lying down, sitting on the train... it’s weird and good at the same time.
OMG you are soooooo right. I lost 78lbs this year and now sitting on anything that has a hard surface has become so uncomfortable. I need to have a pillow under my ass everytime i sit on a bench in a park :D
I lost 80 pounds and when I sleep on my side like I always did when I was fat...now the bones in my legs touch each other and it hurts. Also cold to the BONE. Can't get warm.
You all make being skinny sound awful. I dont wanna hurt I dont wanna freeze. :(
Jen Midwest I thought it was only me lol
@@danweaver1351 what is the program?
Five things I’ve learnt since losing 190lbs. 1. There is never and end. I’ll always have to watch what I eat. I’ll always have to exercise to maintain the weight loss. 2. The moment I hit my goal weight there was no fanfare. No parade. No joyous celebration. No one actually gives a shit that you lost the weight. They only tell you if you start to regain or if you eat something they think is not “diet” approved. 3. Don’t expect the weight loss to fix you. It’s just fat. Losing it won’t make a difference to your happiness even if your unhappiness revolved around your weight. 4. Being at a healthy weight won’t mean you are healthy. It will just mean that doctors now don’t have a reason to blame your ailments on your weight. 5. Being obese doesn’t make you unlovable to others it just makes you unloveable to yourself. Love you now to want to be a better human not have a better body.
Facts
Number 5 got me cryin
I mean this in the nicest way, but it sounds like you've got shitty friends if that was their reaction. It's always been a celebration when people hit their personal targets.
I know its late but did you get saggy skin?
I was about 30 lbs overweight some years ago. It was all fat and no muscle. I lost the weight and while fluctuations of 5-10 lbs have occurred over the past 5 or so years I cannot believe or come close to the gluttony I used to display. It did feel like something in my preferences or brain did change.
i went paleo, and seriously, the first few weeks were a living hell, the cravings alone. but now a year later i literally get no cravings. i unironically prefer broccoli and fruit over junk food. because of the way it makes me feel, my brain.
