- 20% of all 10 year olds in the UK are obese, and another 15% are classed as overweight.
Scientists believe that ten years from now, between 20% to 50% of the entire world's population will be classified as obese.
In this passionate talk, Calgary informs and inspires us to make better choices, in a way that will resonate with you for a long time to come.

Calgary Avansino moved to London from the West Coast of America in 2000 and soon after, landed the role as the Editor's assistant at British Vogue. Two-and-a-half years later she took the leap and claimed a seat in Vogue's beauty department as Wellbeing Editor, before moving up the ranks over the next 8 years to eventually become the Executive Fashion Director and Digital Project Director - a position she held for five years.
In early 2013, Calgary left her full-time position at Vogue to become a Contributing Editor, and balance her career at the publication with an entrepreneurial venture into the world of wellness.
From this, her wellness website www.calgaryavansino.com was born, encompassing her tips, recipes and advice for reaching success by living a healthier lifestyle.

Society has swung so far, that those of us do eat a healthy diet are made to feel like we are freaky AND that we are mean to our children. This is a great and I will share.
This comment is the truth...my truth today but I am NOT ashamed as my kids haven't been sick all year for the first time in their lives.
lunchables, snack bags, juice boxes, just too damn convenient, I applaud you. youre doing the right thing. I'm trying....
You aren't mean. It's good for your kids to have a mom or dad who cares if they are healthy. You are doing a good thing for them. signed - A Kid
I may of been brain washed like the rest when i was young but now I'm older and understand how the real world works I wish I was born into a healthy loving family rather than the state the world is in today due to uneducated people... 😓
My mom used to make brownies and cookies for us. Doesn't kill us (at least not right away) but makes us all sugar addicts.
I'm 47 and cut out sugar last year. I lost 36 lbs, am at my college weight and waist size, have stopped having headaches, my skin has reversed its aging process, the list goes on and on and on. Sugar is AWFUL.
How long did it take you to lose that much weight?
@@NgoTheVinh90 Let's assume around 3 lb each month for the year he mentions.
Did you quit eating fruit?
I used to look down on drug addicts and alcoholics. I wondered why they couldn’t stop when they were such obvious health concerns. Then I asked myself how hard it would be to quit sugar.
Wow!
Me too-I used to wonder myself as to why why why would a person want to destroy themselves through drugs and alcohol?🤷♂️
But,I am completely struggling to give up sugar and therefore less critical of the addicts🤦🏻
Sugar is white death, maybe less slow as coke, but the end can be ending as same
Exactly, I had the same thoughts.
gem of a comment ..
I gave up drugs, drink and smoking and now im overweight no joke I cant give up chocolate.
Last year I began creating the life I have always wanted.I completely changed how I eat-no sugar,no prepared foods at all(except for almond milk),no meat,poultry,and limited fish and diary.I have been diagnosed with ADHD,CPTSD,bipolar 1,3 kinds of seizures,panic attacks,and a dissociative disorder.I have been able to come off most of the medications I used to be on,am seizure free,and have never been happier!Every day I do yoga,mediatate,limit my screen time,read,go for long walks,make time for creative play/work,journal,and have become my own best friend.Healing from trauma IS possible!What are you waiting for?
What surprised me the most, is that you managed to get off most of your pills just with a change of lifestyle.
Faire de longues balades, du yoga, de la méditation...Quand on travaille 50h par semaine ce n'est pas possible :/
That is wonderful! My living situation currently means processed foods are constantly and readily available and the temptations are hard to resist. I feel better when I eat a low/no sugar no processed food diet as does my husband. We will keep trying.
I love! ❤
@@aurorepage3028 It's always possible. It's just how bad you want it. There are people who make excuses and there are people who make stuff happen
We're not "meant" to be eating 7 teaspoons of sugar per day, that's just a recommended upper limit. The goal should be for as little as possible, even zero.
joe schmo she said the same thing in different words "our bodies cannot handle more than 7 teaspoons of sugar per a day" .
That doesn't mean that we should be eating 7 teaspoons. As little as possible, and preferably only from whole fruit.
Well, yeah, but these are Americans we're talking about.
Our body can not handle 7 teaspoons of sugar per a day? That's ridiculous. People range from extremely active kids to sedentary old men. The reason sugar isn't great is the fructose piece, which must be metabolized in the liver. 7 teaspoons of sugar is about 3 teaspoons of straight fructose. That's nothing for someone who is active because the fructose will be used for liver glycogen synthesis as opposed to triglyceride synthesis.
joe schmo I am glad you mentioned that bc that’s what I was thinking. Oh wow, I thought 7 grams of sugars are a little. Now to digest this haha
this women was 41 when this was filmed. Unreal
she's married mate with kids lol
Just darn! I was thinking 28
corey osteen all the more reason to listen to her lol
DK77 why are those your expectations? What that has to do with how young she looks??
boostmeup she is married to me dude!
I like that she includes processed food as so much of the problem. It's also full of weird fats and chemicals. In the USA, the food industry is SO out of control and politically powerful.
Yes, it is also the processed seed oils that are poisoning us. But remember, the government is also paying for some people to have Obamacare and Medicare so they have an incentive to inform us about what we are doing to our own health.
I wear a CGM. Even vegetarian lentil soup blows my blood sugar sky-high.
Only partly a problem. Weston Prince, Staffan Lindeberg, John Yudkin, or even Henry Bieler and Gary Taubes entered the chat. And this is just a tip of the large iceberg... And all of it has been know for ages...
Clearly this woman has underestimated grandmas.
Lmao !!
Yup and sadly my grandma had diabetes.
Thanks man. I haven't had a chuckle of genuine amusement in such a long time.
Grandmothers = The greatest enablers on planet Earth.
@@rubylace9963 me too...me too.
My EXACT thought. I try to do the right thing but my MIL is the spokesperson for terrible diets.
i remember when the diease was called sugar diabetes, then some strong lobbing and monatary bribes made the word sugar disappear.
Pat Brennan really? Wow! Doesn’t surprise me at all though.
Pat Brennan. That is so true but forgot until your comment. Interesting
In Greek, the word for diabetes is the Greek word for 'sugar'. My dad didn't know English very well so when he told people he had diabetes, he would just say 'I have sugar' and doctors understood exactly what he meant.
I always thought older people were being funny when they refer to the disease as "sugar diabetes"
Oh wow the older people in my family call it that and I never questioned why
Sugar is poison
Then let me die.
Only proccesed sugar. Sugar is in fruit to.
Aspen Antoinette sugar is in almost everything edible funk
@@screamingattrees8422 fruits is a dessert that should be eaten rarely. I can't even remember I last ate fruit. Fruit is probably more dangerous because it's high frictose content and poor nutrition value.
@@centpushups Fruit is not dangerous and it processes totally different in the body. Its the healthiest food that exists
She said "sugar" 127 timmes in this video, I counted.
Fouf Cherie lol!😋
Well the speech is about sugar lol😂
How many timmes?
You must have won the lottery
& have nothing else to do
😂🤣
Well it is a talk about sugar soooo....
We are not supposed to have 7 teaspoons of sugar a day. We would be better having no added sugar and the natural sugar that we do eat should be in it's original fibre casing - i.e. real food.
Big facts.
She didn't say we are supposed to have 7 teaspoons of sugar per day, she said as a maximum we should have 7 teaspoons, but lesser is better
true very true however .. to many people in the world for that. we don't have enough space for all the farms that would require.
example . If everything in the world that's flavoured with strawberry flavor would contain actual strawberry's than the country of belgium alone would eat the world's supply of strawberries in under a day
so we 1st need to reduce the population.
I don't know why you would make that up Federica but she literally said "we're supposed to have 7 teaspoons of sugar"
Rachel Selby lol, "natural" sugar. You were so close. 🤦🏾♂️
Sweetness is sweetness to the body. So all sugars are to be avoided whenever possible. You don't need it. There's no difference to the body between tropical fruits, High Fructose, white sugar, brown sugar, stevia, sweet & low, Honey, maple syrup, sucralose, etc. It's all the same to your body.
There's no shortcuts in nature.
I cry every time I watch these. I struggle so much with this.
Destiney Hopkins Don't give up! I know your struggle. I beat it and you can too. It's not about going without, it's about finding what your body really needs.

Over-eaters Anonymous is a 12 step program to develop self-discipline. Any 12-step program does this. The 12 steps are God's update to the Bible, we just need to work it.
For me what works with dropping stuff is getting rid of the source. When I wanted to stop playing games[used to play 4+hr daily] I did for about 1 year, simply changed computer to worse one and didn't install any games(now play 0-2 hours per day, will probably quit again though).
*With sugar, just don't have sugar and sugary sweets at home.
*learn even more about bad things about sugar to become more convinced how bad it is for your.
*have food prepared because if you are both hungry and craving sugar - sugar will be easier to get.
after that there are two options have a 30 day challenge or go slowly with some healthy snacks to help.
Challenge is harder but faster and gives some self respect.
if u r religious ? make sure 2 pray 4 the strength/will power. "Prayer ... changes things"
took me 2 years of struggle 2 giv up sugar.
Well worth it - my life/body health is MUCH better now

This message is the basics of nutrition. If you actually learned something watching this, it means you have done zero research to eat well and be healthy.
I’m from America and I can see this. The message is world wide. Anyone on CZcams can see it! It’s very life changing
Dave C. I learned something from this video. Plus even if you already know the information, this is someone else’s perspective.
@@AT-yj1pw I'm glad you learned something. However, it is really basic information. Sugar bad! Eat less of it!

Sugar is addictive, no wonder they put some of it in everything that is man-made which you can buy at the store.
You think ... Food Engineers are not stupid ... they give us what we want and buy ... capitalism at its worst ...

Is it sugar or SOMA?
I think part of the reason people eat crap is because they are too exhausted to cook, and too exhausted to go to the grocery store more than once a week. Fresh food rots fast unfortunately.
sarazorz There might be less exhaustion if you actually eat the fruits and vegetables.
We wouldn't be so exhausted if we didn't eat so much crap.
Although I really cant preach about it. I'm a diabetic now, only a few months in of knowing, and I'm still struggling to find the balance.
You're pointing to something very true... When we've worked hard or done things that are stressful our willpower is much lower than normal so we more easily succumb to the quick and easy. To combat this we should have healthy snacks that are ready at hand for those times like some almonds or cashews.
They're exhausted because sugar make them feel exhausted!
So true! It's a cycle!
I just had my first soda yesterday and a mocha frapiccino, in 8-9 months. I feel horrible. When I eat sugar, I get sick. Lo and behold I have a cold today. It sucks and I feel horrible whenever I eat processed foods and added sugars. :(
Then there's the processed oils and carbs that are also making us sick. Our illnesses ain't only about sugar.
I would say for those below that asked, yes, sugar in fruit is okay. The reason being that fruit doesn't just contain sugar, but also contains fiber which breaks down in the body and gives energy. Processed sugar ie: dextrose, xanthan gum, etc can only break down in the liver which spikes your insulin levels and creates duh duh duh FAT. I went thirty days without sugar, except in the form of fruit, doing Whole30 and it changed my way of looking at food forever. Sugar is really the culprit for so much disease, not just obesity. The whole system needs to change in order to get sugar filled junk off the shelves (I am talking to you, Luna bars). There are so many industries that are reliant on people staying unhealthy and quite frankly, unaware... big pharma, hospitals, brand name processed food, even companies like Weight Watchers want us to stay unhealthy. So what can we do? Stay on the outside of the grocery, buy food that is colorful and rich in nutrients, watch out for sugar, and if you don't know what is on the label, don't buy it.
End of rant.
Good luck to everyone on their journey towards health and happiness! You deserve it!
Fiber does not 'break down in the body and give energy.'
Fibre slows the digestion process so the sugar is released into your bloodstream more slowly. It also helps everything move through your body and stops your digestive system from being blocked up. Fibre does not break down in your body at all, it just comes right back out again (but that doesn't mean it's not important!)
Amanda Alch
Glucose in the Liver????
Sugar in fruit is fructose and it reacts in the body just the same as all sugar. It isn't good for you! If you must eat fruit, only a few raspberries or blackberries and from time to time strawberries or blueberries! The ONLY difference between most fruit and a jelly doughnut, is that there are more nutrients in the fruit (and fiber), but sugar is sugar! Period!
Fibre does not break down to give energy - it doesn't break down at all and remains fibre all the way through. Which helps it get through. In terms of insulin etc fibre helps slow the absorption of all macronutrients.
Dextrose = glucose and is generally perfectly fine. It is NOT processed in the liver. It is the only form of sugar that can be metabolised in every cell in the body. It causes no stress on the liver, and is the energy of choice for endurance athletes. Dextrose is not by definition a processed sugar. Complex starches are broken down by enzymes into dextrose/glucose (and fructose if this is present in the chain).
Fructose - which is present in fruit - is the main cause of chaos in the body - it is fructose that can only be processed in the liver (unless you are an insect), and it is fructose which causes a complete shut down of the body's normal processes whilst the fructose is being dealt with.
no one died from eating a few apples or mangos. fiber is key.
i eat wayyyyyy more sugar then this . but iit comes from fruits . healthy as ever.
Of course you can eat as many fruits as you like they've got the fibre in them to make the sugar digest slowly.
kristopher michael: Sorry, you are not right in this: Before, fruit was ok , esp in warm (yang) countries, when ppl's adrenal glands were not so taxed and exhausted w stress as today. Also, old fruit-sorts differ(ed) from new, hybridized ones, which are modified to grow MUCH more sugar, didn't you notice the shift? I feel nausea at the new fruit, don't want them (at least not when I am good and off my sugar addiction). This is because of liver function problems, which also the majority people suffer from silently, more or less so. I like the old, sourly fruits. They are good, but we're still too stressed today to tolerate them well.
It's not some matter of dropping dead from it now, but of keeping/getting healthy, strong, live long and happily...
Claudia Bothner
- The correct answer then is to relax, not to stop eating fresh plants. Just don't eat very ripe fruit.
actually if you eat enough apples you can actually die
the acid in them is bad for teeth as well in the long run.
Great video.
14:09 to 14:14, Im sure the speaker meant to say that just because the label dosen't use the word sugar, doesnt mean it "isn't" loaded with sugar. Unfortunately she said "doesnt mean its loaded with sugar", but we all know exactly what she means.
Excellent presentation with lots of good advice. Thanks!
Oh God hearing the way she said "Petit Filous" as a french is bliss
love the slogan on the shirt. . Amen!!!
Thank you, great presentation and very true!
Or. Literally just keep 25 grams of sugar in mind. And you don't have to do conversions every time you read a label.
Yeah, it's poison. I committed to reducing my sugar intake and learning all the terminology for it and different names of additives. Unbelievable. Oh it's still tempting and giving in leads to an aftermath of feeling like being in a bad car accident. Bread was the hardest, juice was hard too. Dropped about 70 lbs so far. I'd thought I was already eating 'healthy'.
I make my own 100% whole grain bread, sometimes with rye or spelt flours. Tastes great and nutritious
I am pushing 80 years old and consider myself reasonably logical. However, I have come to the conclusion that I am addicted or at least semi-addicted to sweets. Certain kinds of cookies and fine chocolates kick off my addiction. It is weird when you knowingly partake of something that you know is harmful. Kicking a sugar addiction is no simple problem but I believe it can be done. You certainly have to learn to say, "NO!" to your own cravings and the treats that well-meaning (usually) people put in your path. Any suggestions on how to approach kicking the habit?? Too bad there is no program like Alcoholics' Anonymous to boot the sugar habit into the gutter.
Awesome talk and skirt!
Yes! The skirt is awesome
Moral of the story is this. Become an educated, discerning food shopper. Read those labels. Sugar can go by other words like corn syrup. Even sugar can be extracted from plants like beets. Don't visit the mall food courts too often. Most of the processed foods is too high in fats, sugars and salts.
This woman also reminds about a book (an older one) my sister recommended to me called "Sugar Blues."
I read that over 30 years ago.
great talk... thumbs up on it all and we need this information as a society.
Eye opener, thank you!
This talk is great but your outfit is everything! 😱
Her body is goals😀🔥
Thank-you! This was inspirational. I’m going to go cook a meal with my younger siblings:)
Thanks for the subtitles. ❤️❤️
Fantastic presentation!
I'm almost finished with my graphic memoir, Mom Remembers Me, of how I used my health and fitness knowledge to stop my mother with mild dementia from forgetting me, and it worked. I tricked her off caffeine, then no prescription meds, forced her/tricked her/incentivized her to drink water, kept her away from high fructose corn syrup and other poison, because they made her mean and delusional, and kept her away from gluten.
I'd like to hear more. My mom is in the same boat
I'm used to listening to lectures with PowerPoint slides and yet I would say she delivered very well.
I did this diet once and stopped it when I noticed my bottle of vinegar had sugar.... It is so hard to follow a no sugar diet.... we are fucked up
Don't stop just because it's hard.. Some of the hardest things to do in life are the most rewarding.
You must've had salad dressing. Vinegar is pure - no sugar. Our bodies turn EVERYTHING to sugar, which is why we have a pancreas. It generates insulin to turn sugar into calories that our body uses to function.
Its called Paleo, Ketogenic Diet☺☺☺😉
Only hard in the beginning.
Brilliant lecture.. thanks a lot
MY TEACHER TOLD US TO WATCH THIS
That's an awesome teacher! I respect teachers that show their students how to think for themselves, and to explore real world stuff.
I started taking drinks I used to buy from restaurants and making my own without sugar, for example I used to drink Starbucks Green tea lemonade, it has way too much sugar, so I looked online at the ingredients, and make my own now, its just green tea, mint leaves and either lemon grass or lemon zest, and oh so good.
This was very much informative!
Thanks Miss Avansino!
Thanks TED!
The best presentation about sugar so far
Carbs are also sugars more or less depending on the type (see nutritional values, starch it transforms in sugar, fiber becomes partially sugar, and sugar is sugar). Keep that in mind. A glass of orange juice, fresh home made it has tones of sugars, natural or not still sugar
I love how CZcams suddenly suggests a video like this for me. I went very low carbs last year aged 57 having become type 2 diabetic. Now totally reversed after a lifetime of sugar addiction.
Lost 3 stone easily and have never felt better. Absolutely zero processed food, I cook and prep every day. Sharing this with my friends and family.
Thank you!
Thank you for posting this info. That visualization of 4 grams of sugar equals 1 teaspoon was very helpful.
15:23 No.5 Remember you are in control of what you buy.
Very Useful Info...Thanks for sharing...
Excellent talk 🙏🙏 thank you
The TED takeaway: Almost all of the processed food you're buying is laden with sugars & refined starches.
When she counted sugar amount for healthy meals day i was scared
great vid, and wow the presenter is GORGEOUS!
Great speech!!!
one time i wanted to eat no sugar and only healthy. from a big giant supermarket, there were only few products i could eat. thats eye opening. from thousands of products, only a few are normal healthy.
this is scary
Thank you
Very clear presentation. Remember 4 gms is 1 teaspoon. Well done.
People just need to stay with whole foods!
If it's not moldy/rotten in 2 weeks from laying out on the counter top - don't eat it!
I wish we could get that list of the 100 names for sugar!
Just stop eating foods that require a list on the can or package. More than 3 ingredients and you know it is over processed.
Ask google
Convenience cooking is the door through which sugar sneaks into our diet. The best way to cut down sugar is to learn how to cook food from scratch with homegrown or local farm produce.
This is life changing.
Just made lasagna from scratch with sweet potatoes instead of pasta, and an avocado, olive and basil salad on the side. I feel so good after eating like this!
Nice work!
@@asiansfw Aw, thank you! :)
She doesn't eat sugar but still she looks sweet...I think thats the Mantra
🤣🤣
true...and nice voice
Definitely want this shirt!
I asked my cardiologist how he stays slim and healthy. He said "cut out all added sugars, and keep moving."
Also sugar causes insomnia. Studies show that caffeine actually has no effect on sleep, but sugar is linked directly to insomnia!
There is a study to show whatever you want. Caffeine is absolutely a stimulant. Come on, man.
Absolutely spectacular.
All makes sense this, will def share too.

Really great video!!!
I was eating Yorkie chocolate bars that had 27g of sugar. I started with one per day and soon progressed to 6 bars per day. That’s 162g of sugar per day just for the chocolate. It doesn’t include the other food I eat daily. This went on for about 2 weeks. Yikes! When I started to have trouble doing up my trousers I knew I had to stop. I have now stopped it and don’t eat any. It’s addictive. I know from experience.
I love how this science is coming to light. Obesity related illness is a tragedy of our society. The speaker is also so cute dam
Great video!
Calgary Avansino has given an first class lecture that is warning us to make changes to our lifestyles, so that we can keep the process food and sugar couple out of our dietary choices and preveny the signs and symptoms of unnecessary lifestyle illnesses or lifestyle diseases. If you don't want the younger generation in your home to eat processed or junk food, don't bring it home and don't eat it yourself. Healthy choices at home will encourage healthy choices outside of home.
I know shes saying 7 teaspoons but it sounds like 70 spoons :D
XD
I've recently gone carnivore to not eat sugar. Amazing how bad sugar can make me feel now. However remembering how I felt is pretty scary.
Thank you ! Liked shared watched whole video thats all i could do to thank you♥️✔️
Awesome!
you guys should start using the metric system, then grams are no longer confusing
Łukasz Klich exactly
No. I think the teaspoons of sugar idea is better as it’s more a visual thing rather than being about metric or imperial measures.

@@TucsonDude I don't agree. She's a little too skinny. She has no curves so not very desirable to a man.
Wow. I thought I knew but this video showed me something I didn't. Thinking in terms of teaspoons does help.
When I was in high school they used to encourage athletes in our sport teams to eat a candy bar before practice because it gave them so much energy.
Sugar=poison
I was a kid in the 70's. No one had sodas in their home. There was no chocolate or candy bars in the cupboard. No pizza delivery. We rarely ate breakfast. And everyone was slender.
Wow
Wow…this shocked me. It’s alarming how much sugar we can consume in a day. Thank you for sharing. I’m gonna make a lot of changes !
We as a people Lack Creative Cooking Skills, lack of Self love is becoming a Trend!!
I want that shirt lol. I gave up soda YEARS AGO!
I try my best to eat no sugar at all that doesnt come from fruit or dark chocolate but oh my GOSH you have to pay attention to even pasta sauce. I make my own bread and baked goods and search diligently for organic produce and its STILL tough!
Yes, we must do that. Quit sugar in any form.
A better, smarter, more informative sugar talk than the Jodi one
I agree with the sugar epidemic hypothesis but I'm not completely sold that complex sugars found in fruit, nuts and vegetables needs to be accounted for. I'm trying to determine what I should eat based on this video and it seems like it is pretty much a raw meat and fish diet.
Fruit is bad except berries, nuts and veggies are good. Root veggies bad.
@@PoodleParti Why do u say root veggies are bad?

All veggies are good for you. Variety will give you the nutrients you need.
Can't believe a child says "white bread" instead of just "bread".......and "white pasta", what child says that??? Ha! Sorry couldn't let it go.
None. She made all of it up.
She asked the kid if it was whole wheat. Duh.
Yeah, I got that
I can’t let that go either!!
because that is all he eats every day .
The 8.5 teaspoons of sugar in the flavored water is egregious!
The other problem is not with food. It's that we have cars that transport people and don't require any walking.
