I chanced upon this some months ago. It discusses exactly what occurs when one loses weight. If I remember correctly, one breathes out the end product of fat metabolism. Certainly a different and unusual view.
This is absolutely fascinating. His earlier video is the one I saw previously, I hadn't seen this one before (December 2019). I will post the other on the chocolate thread.

what you eat is more important that what time you eat yes. move more and eat less (calories) is exactly how weight loss works and calories in vs calories out is the fundamental basis of nutrition eating several meals a day is not 'wrong'. the body handles it just fine and it suits some people. glucose from carbs is the most 'efficient fuel' calories make weight gain, loss or maintenance be it fat, carbs or protein it is not easier to lose weight on high fat low carb diets. some individuals prefer higher carb lower fat and vice versa intermittent fasting promotes weight loss by reducing calorie intake, and for no other reason 20 to 40 % less is calories from skipping breakfast promotes weight loss, not just fat loss, and not visceral fat in particular nonsense about hgh lots of other nonsense about diseases she said not for everyone, and listed a hell of a lot of people. that is the first fact she said. lets get to the food she was straight onto the protein... so that's good... and she talked fats... and she included carbs as well... and limit refined sugar alcohol. all good. guys, when a person talks diet in terms of body fat percentage and dismisses calories at the outset, that is quackery, and the above ted talk is quackery. intermittant fasting is great for some people, but the standard nutrition always apples, appropriate calories and nutrient distribution along with bodily activity. the speaker is a nurse, merely posing as a diet guru and provides nonsense information. |

She said she is a Nurse Practitioner, that's different from nurse. That's basically a doctor's assistant, between being a nurse or a doctor. My parents had a general practice doctor, a heart doctor, a neurologist. Mother had a lung doctor, daddy had an immunologist. Most of their specialists had a Nurse Practitioner, and they basically alternated between visits, seeing the doctor one visit and the Nurse Practitioner the next visit. So I know about Nurse Practitioners. She stated one reason intermittent fasting works is by skipping one meal usually breakfast, in any case what she recommended was eating within an eight hour window. She stated specifically this reduces the total calories you eat by 20%-40%. (You noted). So this is in agreement with what you say, IOW, she agrees with you. I hope you never become insulin resistant, as it will throw everything you know out the window. If I had not researched on my own, by now I would be following doctors orders, taking medication for Type 2 Diabetes, which is nothing but a slippery slope to continuously increasing problems, until you die. Diabetes in a very nasty disease, it destroys the body. I overate and ate too much sugar most of my life. For 37 years I was very active on my job, this allowed me to get by overeating, burning the extra calories. But I overworked my pancreas, which led to insulin resistance (which is a complicated vicious cycle that is difficult to break). But the cycle can be broken, I take no medication today. As also previously stated, I got my blood pressure to normal. |

As also previously stated, I got my blood pressure to normal. well i might become insulin resistant, but i have never overeaten refined sugar or been over weight, and i have been at least reasonably active for the most part, so that reduces likelihood, however the things i know are the facts and I'm not against IF in any way. It's a very good way of eating for some people and a handy part of the nutrition arsenal, but meal timing is the lowest priority in a nutrition plan because whereas calorie balance and nutrient distribution is not debatable at all, meal timing is. When a person becomes an IF expert, a one dimensional flake who relies on magic nutrition hacks, we can be sure they don't know their game very well. That doesn't mean IF is useless, though. It's fine provided calorie balance and nutrient distribution are in place (she forgot to mention that ay).

I believe that simple sugars are responsible for many degenerative diseases. Among sugars, high fructose syrup seems to be the worst. There is a general opinion that fruits are healthy, so people abuse them, oblivious to the fact that they are rich in fructose (not high fructose). As far as I know, the only way to reverse insulin resistance, to make the cell's wall more permeable, is to take a fish oil supplement. To be healthy is more difficult than losing weight, because there are many factors difficult to control. Probably the most effective is to keep a healthy mind, as the ancient Romans used to say "mens sana in corpore sano". Even for those who don't subscribe to the concept that each one of us creates their own reality.  Sorry, I thought this was the diet / weight-loss thread. |

Even for those who don't subscribe to the concept that each one of us creates their own reality. Sorry, I thought this was the diet / weight-loss thread. in the case f fruit, the fiber content inhibits the rate of sugar absorption and we don't see the extreme spikes in blood sugar as we do with refined sugar, and hence, most fruit is not considered high GI. fructose is metabolised along a different pathway in the liver to glucose, but the 'engineering' is there to process it and it is by no means toxic or deleterious to the human body unless taken to excess. the main benefits of fruit is richness in micronutrients apart from the energy benefits of the sugars and the digestive beneits of fiber, and it is a good idea to include fresh fruit in the diet to enhance food variety.
research on endurance athletes indicates the best energy intake for working athletes is a mixture of glucose and fructose (normal table sugar works), so fruit is a good fuel in that regard.
if you don;t want fruit, it doesn't matter. it is not necessary and the nutrients can be gotten from veges, My view is veges are a higher priority, but complementary fruit is a good idea.
most people are mislead by the diet gurus when it comes to losing weight and do not consider muscle retention or physical activity as vital factors. I mean the IF weight loss expert in the video didn't even mention it. The social narrative on nutrition is diet gurus all selling magic tricks, so little wonder people are lost in woods when it comes to their body composition.
