I am a physician. This is the best weight loss advice there is. Your presentation says everything that needs saying without talking down to your audience or demoralizing them. Strong work!

I am pregnant and for obvious reasons weight loss is not currently an option, but I clicked this just to see if there was stuff I can do to plan ahead for afterward. I'm so impressed by this video because the scale isn't even a target here. There are things in this video that I can do RIGHT NOW even when pregnant to stay healthy. I never thought of my eye as an avocado before, but it puts in perspective why they want us to eat so healthy and not be concerned about weightloss during this time, but they don't really break it down. They just make you sad about all the things you can't eat.

Started at 670 lbs. down to 450 lbs. The Rehab. Center I'm in seems to be Very counter Productive, Thank you for this information.

[pedrozatravel]

As someone who has been overweight most of my life, just the thought of losing weight brings stress, which is a cause for weight gain in itself for me. That said you had some interesting points and a lot to think about. Also, I say put the plant wherever you want.

[williamake]

Yoooo that baseball clip freaking got me.

Edit: I made this challenge a long time ago that I would not eat anything I could not make or wasn't fresh from the farm. Basically eliminated processed foods, but I could still have a cookie if I learned how to bake it. Improved my diet and my cooking skills significantly. I need to get back on that challenge.

I lost 60 pounds but I lost the determination to continue eating healthy and putting in the work since school started up again. This video showed up in my recommended page and unlocked that extra determination I need.

I’ve weighed within twenty pounds of what I weighed when I enlisted at seventeen my entire life, and I’m about to be sixty. The times when I weighed the most were when I was in the best physical condition. I don’t really concern myself with my weight, but more on how healthy I am. As I got older I noticed that my muscle to fat ratio was reversing. My weight didn’t change much, but my muscle mass was decreasing, which means I’m getting fat in a sneaky way.

[holden]

I’m glad you brought up the scale thing because when I started working out and drinking more water I gained a lot of weight and I was so pissed until I realized muscle weighs more than fat and water has weight to it. People around me were telling me I looked better but I was weighing more or the same as when I started

"The number on the scale has nothing to do with how you feel about yourself." Appreciate you for saying that.💪🏽👍🏽

Your videos are amazing! My 2 tips. Never go on a "diet". Anything temporary will just be reversed when the diet ends, and that is very bad for you. Instead, you need to make changes that you can stick with FOREVER! Such as smaller portions, avoiding carbs when you can, limit desserts. Walk very often. My second tip is, don't get discouraged if you go off the wagon! Sure I"ll eat a cheesesteak and some cookies here and there, but it's a marathon, not a short race. Keep your eyes on the long-term, don't worry about short term. Don't expect quick results, give it months, when switching to a "lifetime change" that you can live with.

I'm part of the National Weight Loss Registry cohort, made up of adults who have lost at least 10 lbs or more and kept it off for multiple years. (Lost 105 lbs here, kept off 90-95 of it so far, although I regained a bit this past summer because of a surgery.) Every year they send out a survey asking us about our habits. The majority of us are still doing two things - some kind of daily activity like walking, and writing down what we eat. The "writing down" portion doesn't even have to include calories or macros as part of it, it could just be a list of foods or the places where they were purchased (e.g. McDs or "home made salad.")

I really appreciate the suggestion of starting slow with micro challenges. Change is scary and building habits takes time, but you need to start somewhere.

I've found that the main purpose/benefit of exercise is to keep your muscles strong. Especially as you get older and older.

[neginesuke]

I started my weight loss journey around 215lbs, I am presently around 192lbs. I was able to get as low as 184lbs. My actual goal is to achieve 165, however, I fully agree that the scale isn't the largest factor. I currently weigh more because I have begun to eat healthier and exercise. I am primarily focused on eating healthy while working to learn more about the body and how to exercise. I have done a few challenges, though mostly without me fully realizing it. I do enjoy a challenge, but my biggest goal is to alter my diet to an enjoyable diet that allows me to eat an abundance of healthy food with minimal wasted food. I appreciate discovering your channel and much of the advice you have to share.

[Peacefrogg]

Yes, the least amount of steps, that works. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t cook your food, but food from a garden is always more balanced than food from a factory. This works perfectly for me during the day. But when it’s dark and i am tired and there is processed food in the house….

I've recently begun a weight loss journey and it couldn't be a better time to find your channel. Your advice about scales and weight is so spot on. It's such a small part of the story. I've seen the number go up over the years but it never really felt different to me until I began to feel how much more effort it took to move around. How my clothes stopped fitting. The self consciousness being on the street, being treated differently, everything you were saying lined up with my experience.

Like anyone on this journey I've had some nebulous long term weight goal in mind, but your challenges might just be what I need. I'll give it a try.

Appreciate voices like yours that cut through the BS. Looking forward to more. Digging the plant, too. It's a good plant.

[thecoker]

I lost 100 pounds over a year and this is a very sensible approach. I would add, do not think of it is temporary. See what you are doing as a regime change in how you approach see and accept food. First start with a two week food diary, write down everything you put in your body and when. This was eye opening for me and will be for you as well. Also calorie counting is unbalanced, knowing caloric density of what you eat is good. Know what you are eating and how it affects you as well.

[ONeeNeeNano]

First time mom in postpartum weight loss journey here. I genuinely appreciate this video. Thank you, for your amazing work. Please, continue doing what you do.

[faerieknight]

In my case, I do track my weight. BUt that's because I have a definite weight loss goal as assigned by my doctor. But you know what? I have to agree, the number on the scale matters less to me then the fact I had to replace pants twice now due to them becoming too big in the waist. Being able to use my old belts again is more impactful to me then the fact I've lost 90+ pounds in the last year.

[Sps]

Dude, the casual nature of the video and the information, makes it feel like you're talking with that friend who knows stuff and is genuinely helping ya. Keep up the good work!

[lindacgrace]

I totally agree with your "no scale" suggestion! The scale LIES! Every single chart on earth puts my ideal weight at between 110 and 115 pounds. Every single BMI calculation shows me as overweight/borderline obese at 130 pounds. Lemme tell ya about my modelling career. I worked my way through college as a pin-up girl. My figure was 37", 23", 38" (you guessed it, they did NOT hire me for my face *LOL*!). At that time, I weighed 130 pounds. Yes, 130 pounds at 5'3" tall and a 23" waist. Mystery solved when an insurance-required DEXA scan revealed that, at the age of 60, I had the bone density of a 30-year-old male! I am - quite literally - heavy boned. You are 100% correct your eyes or a tape measure is a MUCH better way to track. Besides, so many foolish young girls diet down to "skinny fat" which does not look good and isn't healthy. Love your content - keep up the good work!
