200-Pound Weight Loss Without Hunger

Body weight and satiety signals. I dive into one of the most fascinating series of studies I’ve ever come across.

If you weren’t blown away by the eye-opening revelations in that video, you may want to watch it again to fully absorb it all.

This is the first in a four-video series on the factors that can lead to over-eating and satiety. Stay tuned for:

Thanks for watching. I hope you’ll join in the evidence-based nutrition revolution!

I was MOCKED by abusive family who laughed when I first introduced I was giving up meat by bringing oatmeal with blueberries and date sugar to a meal. They continued to mock me hand waiting away that I cleared up a rash covering 90% of my body. They pretended it wasn’t a big deal that my energy increased .

Now that one of them was diagnosed with heart disease they still mock me and the guy just claims “it’s natural to get this it’s not my fault. And if you ever suggest (in response to him mocking me ) again it’s my fault I’ll punch you out. My father died of heart disease and is will not have you disrespect him by saying his diet played a role. “

Not gonna lie, I prefer the real Dr Greger over the animated one. 🙈

[prfesrfrink]

My gosh! What a cliffhanger! I'm very much looking forward to the next installment!

Who cares if it’s animated dr Greger or not! I’m sure it’s used to help dr Greger get these informative videos out, so please just quit complaining about something so trivial. I want the information and I could care less if Dr Greger chooses animation or his real face. Just grateful for the info.

You are the best Dr Greger! Thanks for helping me to live a better life. When I went plant based I often joked with friends that I had never lost so much weight feeling so full.

This makes alot of sense to me. I had a teacher in college who would diet in yogurt and bananas. I could never do it because it made me very mucus filled and I hated that feeling (she ultimately died of cancer). What I have found is that if I consume lots of green's with a quarter cup of beans and a very thin tahini (seasoned well), my weight drops off without a problem. I'll do that for two week's and it work's every time.

Both my nutrient and stretch receptors are nowhere near as sensitive as I would need them to be in order to attain and maintain a healthy state. I'm practicing calorie density and that seems to work for me. I'm having a problem with knowing when I'm actually hungry. Comes from years of eating (because of meds) devoid of hunger. I'm convinced once I get back in tune with my true hunger drive, I'll be able to easily reach AND maintain a healthy state 😊 Thank you for this. I look forward to the next one.

Now, this was an interesting study with a surprising finding

Animated Greger is great, but please change the tie colour to green? 🌱💚

Cartoon or no cartoon I like the information given so thank you!

[annieesther]

I was hooked, barely saw time pass, and then he says "we'll explore this in the next video". I have to wait?

[smilebot]

Wow. Once you start seeing food as fuel rather than getting caught up in fetishizing it for pleasure or entertainment the battle with the bulge seems to mostly fall away.

[z.j.maayan]

excellent series! Really looking forward to the data

[motionocean]

love the animation Dr Greger is a fantastic cartoon haha. And love new the series :-)

[Earthling]

What a neat coincidence - I just read this part in your book, "How not to Diet", last night before bed! It's interesting to see that photo of the feeding apparatus, though. Definitely not what I pictured in my head. lol

Try adding more vegetables to your pasta and other carbohydrates. You can eat as many non-starchy vegetables as you like until you are full. You can also add psyllium husks to your food, which is filling and good for the intestines. Chia seed pudding is also filling as a dessert. You have Dr. Greger's cookbook with the recipes. Before I'm a meal drink 1 glass of cold water with 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Eat soup before the meal, it contains a lot of 100 kcal, also add psyllium seeds.

Fascinating… I am super curious for the next installation!

[joetrolo]

Fascinating. I've been doing intermittent fasting for the past three months. Was really only trying to lose around 10 lb was doing it more because there's things I learned about the benefits. It's amazing what your body can do to fix itself and keep you healthy when it isn't digesting food 90% of the time you're awake!

[Paul-ykds]

The animated Dr Greger was a bit weird hahaha, and actually harder to pay attention to.

[Hypokrites]

Amazing information! I’m excited! Thanks Dr. Greger
