Dr. Jessica Turton - 'Eat MORE to lose weight'

Dr. Jessica Turton is the Director of Ellipse Health and holds a PhD in nutrition awarded by the Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney. Her thesis investigated the use and efficacy of low-carbohydrate diets for diabetes management, with a specific focus on type 1 diabetes. Dr. Turton conducted a clinical trial in collaboration with the CSIRO using a fully online delivery model which enabled Australia-wide participation. The aim of the study was to assess the safety and effect(s) of a nutritionally adequate low-carbohydrate diet on type 1 diabetes management outcomes.

Jessica has also co-authored several research articles in leading scientific journals, including "An Evidence-based Approach to Developing Low-carbohydrate Diets in Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review" in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism. Jessica was invited to speak at the American Diabetes Associated Conference in June 2020 to present the evidence for low-carbohydrate diets and nutritional ketosis in the treatment of diabetes and obesity.

Jessica has a passion for working with individuals to identify the primary nutritional problems affecting their health and preventing them from reaching their goals. She was the recipient of the Charles Perkins Centre Summer Research Scholarship in 2016/17 where she was part of a team that conducted analyses to investigate the association of industry-funding and results in published studies examining the effect of whole-grain intake for cardiovascular disease prevention.

I’ve been keto for almost a year and a half, lifting weights, doing cardio, now I feel like I’m getting younger! I’m 70 yo.

[AnneMB]

Thanks for your enlightening talk. I’ve learnt in my life to not be focussed on weight loss. It will happen but it’ll creep back on. In my late 60s I’ve finally found what works for me. An eating lifestyle that I can reduce weight, feel satisfied, not focus on food yet be healthy. Eating more protein and fat and reducing carbs and processed foods - to none. 👋🏻👏🇦🇺

[garyroberts]

Yes Jessica, you have reinforced what I have learned in 4 years of research online to try to improve my T2 diabetes.
Learning from drs. Paul Mason, Eric Westman, Gary Fettke, Ken Berry and a dozen others.
That was quite a good presentation

[bernadette]

One of the best explanations of resting metabolic rate and diets that I have heard.

I don't think ancel keys is a good example of trust worthy professor but he is a great example for how corruption and money can influence health of the world so easily to our detriment.

[codinginflow]

I've done a few cuts down to a low body fat in my life. Almost every single time I got a really bad flu at the end of it. I think the calorie restriction diminished my immune system.

[itzakpoelzig]

Such a clear, educational talk. I can forward this video to my friends and family who are still confused.

Great to know there are real doctors like Jessica actually helping clients to improve their health and lose weight. The reduction in BMR she described resulting from “conventional” calorie controlled diets explains everything. It saddens me when I see heavily overweight people at the gymn, slogging away on the treadmills - they are really doing their best to adhere to the misguided advice they get from their medical practitioners, who, to my mind, are out and out charlatans.

20 years of pills and following advice from UK NHS did notning tohelp my blood sugars. Watching low carb down under, ivor cummins etc and cutting out carbs (bread crisps, potatoes, rice and pasta) and walking 4 miles twice a day my blood sugars plummetted to normal and i lost 30kg in 9 months. My GP actually told me i was too thin and should attain to increase my weight from 70kg to 80-85kg. That was easy. I just started eating carbs again.

Dr Jessica, just want to thank you for selflessly shared the list of foods and 3 days meal plan to all of us. I’ve had a look at it and currently just started keto but haven’t really get the right portion and variety of food right. Your meal plan gave me a better understanding of how much protein I should eat and how to balance with right nutrients. Sending you my best wishes from Malaysia ❤❤❤

[lindashillabeer]

Excellent presentation. Very clear and precise. Learnt so much. Thank, you.

[Elexyr]

Seeing as calories are not food energy, it's HEAT energy (can't eat heat), I am not surprised people improved their health through actual proper food while eating more.
It's all about the chemical processes and how it affects the body. Give it proper nutrition, it's going to use it as it's been designed to do.

[mohammed]

She is on the spot low kcal diet caused my anxiety i now eat high fats low carb diet i feel better thanks to chris palmer

[NuclearCarnivore]

By following Dr. Turton’s advice you can increase energy levels while losing weight sensibly and maintain it without rebounding.

Mainly:

1. Increase protein intake to increase your metabolism and burn an extra 200 kcal/day. This will increase thermogenesis 2-3 times improving nutrient absorption. Insulin secretion will be reduced and fat will be oxidized increasing lean tissue mass.

2. Replace carbs with fat to burn an extra 200 kcal/day.

3. Eat real food to increase nutrient density and satiety while decreasing insulin.



Calorie restriction results in suppressed metabolism and has serious physiological and psychological impairments including decreased strength, stamina, libido, and concentration and increased depression, anxiety, and disordered eating (excessive overeating when you give up the diet; binge eating).

[tonys]

Superb presentation, thank you. Makes complete sense. If only the medical profession was so enlightened!

[peterholt]

Spot on Jessica. Totally nailed it in a concise and succinct presentation.

[FlashGordon]

I wish I could have seen this in the 90s.

[CarstenBornemann]

The model of calories is scientifically extremely flawed and wrong. Better not to use it anymore, even in a presentation like this. For instance protein is supposed to have calories, but is mostly used as a building block for lean body mass and not as energy. Calories is a measure of heat when burning food in a laboratory. It's like saying I eat 3000 heat today. We don't 'burn' food, so this is also wrong. People need to understand, how we really metabolize, using the usual wrong terms doesn't help.

[chomnansaedan]

You can eat a lot but not feel satiated. That's how you know you are eating the wrong foods.

Excellent Presentation ..
Gratitude & Appreciation 💫
