WHAT CAUSES OBESITY | IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT YOU ARE OVERWEIGHT!!

YOU ARE NOT PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OBESITY!

Carbs in a medium Domino's cheese pizza is a whopping 293g
Carbs in 500g of broccoli 35g
You could easily eat a medium cheese pizza yourself because your leptin is blocked by the high insulin levels. I dare you to try to and eat half a kilo of broccoli!!

Nobody binge eats broccoli. Nobody gets addicted to lettuce. Nobody. It's sugar, cereals, grains and starches.

1 year on a ketogenic diet. Lost 98lbs naturally, no gym, no exercise, no surgery, no pills. Just real, delicious whole food. Join me on my journey to health as I get used to a thinner body and a carb filled world. I'm here to help whoever I can heal themselves, motivate and inspire.

You're so right!! I've been keto for about 6 months now. I went cold-turkey, very strict carb free. I still eat as close to zero carbs as possible. My "keto flu" was so obviously 3 days I was craving sugar so joint ached, I was moody, my head ached, I was desperate for anything carby. But I rode it, and came out the other side very proud of myself. But, my point is, I must have appeared like a detoxing drug addict during that time, which I was, except my drug was sugar, not heroin. Now I am free, I no longer even want carbs. My family has sweets, cakes etc in the house and I don't even notice them! I can't ever see myself eating like I used to. I feel so much better, and what's amazing to me is that I've gone from being a sugar monster, stuffing my face on carbs all day long, to really not wanting it any more. I love your channel, you speak the truth plainly. Thank you for being such an inspiration to so many of us.

Such an important topic, thanks so much for this video! When I tell people that sugar addiction is a real thing, most of them seem to think it's an excuse for gluttony. It's not. But it's so easy to hate on fat people because of their looks 😡

Amen! I lived my life HUNGRY and fat... I'm in my 60's. I would have success in various diets all my life but eventually the hunger would win and back came the weight plus more. Finding dietary ketosis is like the first time I went outside with my 1st pair of glasses as a child! There was a beautiful world that I had never seen before! I am losing weight but even if I weren't I would still stay in ketosis! Keep up the great work of telling people the truth about hunger! Blessings to you! Marla

Thank you for this video. People need to hear this message. I always thought my extra weight was caused by some failure or character flaw in me because diets didn't work for very long. I'm a year and a half into this and almost 80 pounds down. I will eat this way the rest of my life. I wish someone would have explained this to me 30 years ago, would have saved me a lot of angst.

I love that your "angry" video is actually a well thought-out logical argument backed up by scientific data. I just found your channel and I'm subscribing. Love your content, love your accent!

[oskarwilde]

I feel EXACTLY the same Christina, it's all the misinformation we've been fed all our lives..decades of feeling helpless, and fat....and thanks for ur sharing, it is, as you can see, helping so many..so thank you! Onwards n upwards I guess..at least we know now ...

[bobbiesepeda]

This helped me so much. I'm in my mid 60's and I still remember all those harsh words from family and others. Always blaming myself. Picturing stepping out of my body and beating myself up. Getting past that now. My paternal Grandmother was near 300 lbs. I believe it is truly genetic. 4 children raised by the same parents and only one is obese from childhood?? Duh!

[mariannefoster]

Thank you for this video. It's hard to explain to people how addicting sugar is. They think I'm crazy when I tell them that it's like a drug. Thank you

[julief]

Thank you so much for all of your encouragement & support! Loved that you said...'if you've been able to quit smoking, then you can quit sugar'. I quit smoking 4 years ago. Like you, I don't trust myself with being able to control myself with sugar...I've thought way too many times that I could after being off sugar for awhile. After the cravings are gone, I've gotten over-confident and thought...no problem, I can have some & be fine. Sugar is addictive, without question! And, like you said, needs to be looked at as an addictive substance. No way would I ever pick up another cigarette again..I proved myself wrong before on that one too...never again. I know the same is true for sugar. Kudos to you for spreading the word!

I have just found your videos when I needed them. After twelve weeks in keto followed by a water fast I am now questioning it because i have stopped losing weight and feel lethargic and ill. I think I am not eating enough fat because i have a fatty tumour which I am trying to reduce before surgery, so wanted to live off my body fat, but clearly I am not sufficiently fat adapted to be able to break down my own fat reserves. Also, I think my metabolism has slowed down. Your clear explanations have helped me enormously and I will continue on this journey but do some tweaking!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos.

I would like to share my story. I was diagnosed with depression many years ago. My depression fluxuated though typically didnt get dangerous. About a month ago we severly cut back on processed sugar and carbs becase my husband and I wanted to lose weight. Its literally learning how to eat all over again as everything we were taught about food is wrong. Ive had much less depression and loads more energy. This morning I had an unexplainable depressive episode that really bothered me and it took me a few hours to sort what i think the reason is: Last night I had honey in some sheepsmilk yogurt (yummy), early this morning I had a serving of organic kefir (9g sugar listed) and at breakfast, without even thinking, I put some maple syrup on the breakfast sausage I was having with eggs. It would appear that the more sugars I have the less actively aware I am of how much of it I am consuming and I "fall off the wagon" as it were. I understand now that I am addicted to sugar ... And then I found your video, coincidence? Maybe :) Thank you for sharing your story, your videos are both encouraging and inspirational.

[katiehaynes]

You’re just fantastic! Such an inspiration, since watching your videos my weight has literally fell off! Binge watching all your videos!

[sonnygirl]

applause~!! Good on ya, giving people the true facts and helping them learn to heal themselves of the addiction to carbs.

[janmoss]

I'm learning so much about myself from you!

[chelerutan]

I can totally relate to the sugar addiction. After almost 50 years of highly processed foods, especially sugary sweets, I am struggling with that the most in doing keto. Thanks for the video.

[ketoboomer]

The school of hard knocks has trained you well. You are so good at this!!! I can relate to you exactly. I have felt it was the stevia all along. My cravings have been getting out of control. No more stevia. Your analogy with the alcohol made since. Thank you sweetie😱😘

[JezaGaia]

Couldn't agree more.

As an added example of how addictive sugar can be :

A scientist had been studying the effects of drugs on rats, cocaine to be precise, and for some test he needed a control substance, meaning something the rats liked but weren't addicted to so he could compare their behavior when faced with either that control food or cocaine. He tried sugary water and what he discovered is that rats that had been addicted to cocaine for most of their lives would choose sugary water over the cocaine, in fact most (80% or so ) would do so.He did more studies and he noticed that most mom rats would choose to protect and care for their babies over the drug, but most of them would choose sugar over their babies, it's that bad.
Now of course we're not rats but following that study they made some research on how sugar affects our human brain and the pictures showed that it reacts mostly the same to both.
So yes sugar is a drug, a strong one and nobody made the conscious choice to begin using it knowing what it was so there is no possible way anyone can be responsible for it's carb addiction.

In one of my other comments I referred to sugar as crack cocaine. Interesting how many people will even agree sugar is a drug, but turn right around and tell an obese person he or she is simply lazy or lacks will power. "Eat less, move more." I have two words for that person and they rhyme with luck do. Obesity often has a blend of influences and not every body, or body type, will respond the same to the same set of influences. What makes the most sense to me in looking at my body, after a lifetime of obesity with a LOT of carb intake, is the science of ketosis. Even decades ago when my sister and then my brother were on Atkins of course I acknowledged the science behind the diet. It just struck me as extreme and extremes are rarely beneficial nor sustainable. A ketogenic diet feels--to me now--to be sustainable. Same scientific essence, enough difference in dietary inclusions and exclusions to make it viable for me. I ate ketogenically today and wasn't hungry for seven hours before I ate again. Broccoli with melted cheese. Delish! Filling and satisfying. I did eat some nuts and seeds (and a few peanuts) after but didn't actually need them. Didn't even really want them. I'd simply brought them into my bedroom with the veg and the food addict said "Oh, food here. Eat it. Must eat the food here."
