Thanks for the video! Fiber is crucial to staying satisfied/not hungry when trying to lose weight. Gotta get 5+ servings of fruits and veggies every day
14:19 Nah bro, thanks for making this video <3 I bet a thousand people have said this already, but I love this video. It’s not coming off my watch later any time soon
your body is your best and deserves the best….
Belle vidéo !
I went vegan and I’m healthiest I’ve ever been. I only wish I stayed it earlier
This video needs to be seen by everyone! Your voice is so calming too!
Ban the word DIET
Its meaning has got corrupted
You made me choose the mediteranian diet, now i will make a diet
Thank you
I have my headphones on and forgot, I kept hearing the squeeking from the scales and thought somebody was in the laundry room, lol! Im sitting here like who the heck is opening the door???
This guy sounds fat
This is Wrong (people do better when they replaces Saturated Fats with MonoUn and PolyUn) :)….do your research well ………….
Perfect video thank you
SALVATION
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
-John 14:6
⁹ that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
¹⁰ For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
-Romans 10
1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
– 1 John
Believe Jesus died to blot out your sins and proclaim He is your Lord and Saviour.
Believe He rose again 3 days later in the flesh by God’s hand.
For by grace you are saved through faith.
Confess and repent of all your sins in prayer in the name of Jesus.
Forgive those who have harmed you (this will free you from anger) as God forgave you.
Be baptised fully immersed in water and be baptised in the Holy Spirit (if possible).
Live pure and stop sinning.
If you sin unwillfully confess and repent for none of us are perfect except Jesus.
Be obedient.
Follow the spiritual laws:
Love you neighbour as yourself and love God with all your heart, soul and mind.
Develop a relationship with God. Walk with him in the cool of the day.
I know the best diet.
I have spent weeks learning about diets and nutrition. From Mediterainian to Keto. From meal replacement to supplement. Vitamins to minerals. I then took it all that info and created my own diet. I just decided on that diet a few hours before finding this video in my queue. That’s synchronicity. I LOVE this video and I love the philosophy! What a GEM !!!
It was interesting to see.
Thank you for this amazing video
I am definitely going to start my own better health experiment starting tomorrow morning and thanks to you for saying to think about what is healthy to eat rather than what I can’t eat is awesome.
When you make your own diet recipes how would you calculate the calories you eat just like banana and peanut butter
developing binge-eating disorder… I still struggle with that up to this day. It came to a point where most of the days were spent calculating calories, not meeting the calorie intake, feeling guilty, then soothing those feelings by binging. It went on and became a habit.
Time passed by and my goals shifted, from wanting to have lean muscles and rock hard abs, to having a body I love and feel confident in – regardless of the size/appearance – whilst engaging in physical activities and having a healthy diet. A diet where just like what is said in the video, 80% healthy foods I love and cook by myself/family/others, 20% delicious treat.
I also want to chime in and say that this quote from 13:28 is what truly matters the most. Thank you, I will use this motto for my life.
You sound like the Twilight Zone dude
I really love the illustration, simple and very informative!
dr theodore fishbacher should really consider full retirement, I recommend it
thank you for this video. this helps me to understand better about diet and the key to it❤
Switchero combined with mediteranian is very good. Worked for me, without much exersise other than walking. I just swithced some bad foods with better quality foods, and added more veggies in every meal. Lost almost 30 kg like that in couple months no problem. After a while you even get used to new diet.
Awesomeness
Thanks ❤️☺️
Less here, Eh? I died …
Diabetic Foot ulcers? Try PodoPhylus antimicrobial shoe insole . It prevents infections and amputations.
Love this video. Keep up the good work Doc Mike Evans! 😀
This was insightful. I grew up not having soda in the house, so I never really drink it. Even when I was overeating I would basically only drink water, so now my mission would be to subconsciously make the same healthy choice for my foods!
This video changed my life. There was no suggestions at the threat of my life (you are gonna die unless….) like most videos or books. Just a healthy perspective change.
You should do this full time. Make more of these please.
Thank you
Everyone is an expert telling us what to eat. Use your common sense, folks.
The links in the description box need to be checked.
Some times it is not what you are eating but what is eating you !
Can be so simple… Raw Vegan has merit….
Questionnaires… LOL
Amazing video!!!!!
8 tips for healthy eating
These 8 practical tips cover the basics of healthy eating and can help you make healthier choices.
The key to a healthy diet is to eat the right amount of calories for how active you are so you balance the energy you consume with the energy you use.
If you eat or drink more than your body needs, you’ll put on weight because the energy you do not use is stored as fat. If you eat and drink too little, you’ll lose weight.
You should also eat a wide range of foods to make sure you’re getting a balanced diet and your body is receiving all the nutrients it needs.
It’s recommended that men have around 2,500 calories a day (10,500 kilojoules). Women should have around 2,000 calories a day (8,400 kilojoules).
Most adults in the UK are eating more calories than they need and should eat fewer calories.
1. Base your meals on higher fibre starchy carbohydrates
Starchy carbohydrates should make up just over a third of the food you eat. They include potatoes, bread, rice, pasta and cereals.
Choose higher fibre or wholegrain varieties, such as wholewheat pasta, brown rice or potatoes with their skins on.
They contain more fibre than white or refined starchy carbohydrates and can help you feel full for longer.
Try to include at least 1 starchy food with each main meal. Some people think starchy foods are fattening, but gram for gram the carbohydrate they contain provides fewer than half the calories of fat.
Keep an eye on the fats you add when you’re cooking or serving these types of foods because that’s what increases the calorie content – for example, oil on chips, butter on bread and creamy sauces on pasta.
2. Eat lots of fruit and veg
It’s recommended that you eat at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and veg every day. They can be fresh, frozen, canned, dried or juiced.
Getting your 5 A Day is easier than it sounds. Why not chop a banana over your breakfast cereal, or swap your usual mid-morning snack for a piece of fresh fruit?
A portion of fresh, canned or frozen fruit and vegetables is 80g. A portion of dried fruit (which should be kept to mealtimes) is 30g.
A 150ml glass of fruit juice, vegetable juice or smoothie also counts as 1 portion, but limit the amount you have to no more than 1 glass a day as these drinks are sugary and can damage your teeth.
3. Eat more fish, including a portion of oily fish
Fish is a good source of protein and contains many vitamins and minerals.
Aim to eat at least 2 portions of fish a week, including at least 1 portion of oily fish.
Oily fish are high in omega-3 fats, which may help prevent heart disease.
Oily fish include:
salmon
trout
herring
sardines
pilchards
mackerel
Non-oily fish include:
haddock
plaice
coley
cod
tuna
skate
hake
You can choose from fresh, frozen and canned, but remember that canned and smoked fish can be high in salt.
Most people should be eating more fish, but there are recommended limits for some types of fish.
4. Cut down on saturated fat and sugar
-Saturated fat
You need some fat in your diet, but it’s important to pay attention to the amount and type of fat you’re eating.
There are 2 main types of fat: saturated and unsaturated. Too much saturated fat can increase the amount of cholesterol in the blood, which increases your risk of developing heart disease.
On average, men should have no more than 30g of saturated fat a day. On average, women should have no more than 20g of saturated fat a day.
Children under the age of 11 should have less saturated fat than adults, but a low-fat diet is not suitable for children under 5.
Saturated fat is found in many foods, such as:
fatty cuts of meat
sausages
butter
hard cheese
cream
cakes
biscuits
lard
pies
Try to cut down on your saturated fat intake and choose foods that contain unsaturated fats instead, such as vegetable oils and spreads, oily fish and avocados.
For a healthier choice, use a small amount of vegetable or olive oil, or reduced-fat spread instead of butter, lard or ghee.
When you’re having meat, choose lean cuts and cut off any visible fat.
All types of fat are high in energy, so they should only be eaten in small amounts.
-Sugar
Regularly consuming foods and drinks high in sugar increases your risk of obesity and tooth decay.
Sugary foods and drinks are often high in energy (measured in kilojoules or calories), and if consumed too often can contribute to weight gain. They can also cause tooth decay, especially if eaten between meals.
Free sugars are any sugars added to foods or drinks, or found naturally in honey, syrups and unsweetened fruit juices and smoothies.
This is the type of sugar you should be cutting down on, rather than the sugar found in fruit and milk.
Many packaged foods and drinks contain surprisingly high amounts of free sugars.
Free sugars are found in many foods, such as:
sugary fizzy drinks
sugary breakfast cereals
cakes
biscuits
pastries and puddings
sweets and chocolate
alcoholic drinks
Food labels can help. Use them to check how much sugar foods contain.
More than 22.5g of total sugars per 100g means the food is high in sugar, while 5g of total sugars or less per 100g means the food is low in sugar.
5. Eat less salt: no more than 6g a day for adults
Eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure. People with high blood pressure are more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke.
Even if you do not add salt to your food, you may still be eating too much.
About three-quarters of the salt you eat is already in the food when you buy it, such as breakfast cereals, soups, breads and sauces.
Use food labels to help you cut down. More than 1.5g of salt per 100g means the food is high in salt.
Adults and children aged 11 and over should eat no more than 6g of salt (about a teaspoonful) a day. Younger children should have even less.
6. Get active and be a healthy weight
As well as eating healthily, regular exercise may help reduce your risk of getting serious health conditions. It’s also important for your overall health and wellbeing.
Being overweight or obese can lead to health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, heart disease and stroke. Being underweight could also affect your health.
Most adults need to lose weight by eating fewer calories.
If you’re trying to lose weight, aim to eat less and be more active. Eating a healthy, balanced diet can help you maintain a healthy weight.
7. Do not get thirsty
You need to drink plenty of fluids to stop you getting dehydrated. The government recommends drinking 6 to 8 glasses every day. This is in addition to the fluid you get from the food you eat.
All non-alcoholic drinks count, but water, lower fat milk and lower sugar drinks, including tea and coffee, are healthier choices.
Try to avoid sugary soft and fizzy drinks, as they’re high in calories. They’re also bad for your teeth.
Even unsweetened fruit juice and smoothies are high in free sugar.
Your combined total of drinks from fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies should not be more than 150ml a day, which is a small glass.
Remember to drink more fluids during hot weather or while exercising.
8. Do not skip breakfast
Some people skip breakfast because they think it’ll help them lose weight.
But a healthy breakfast high in fibre and low in fat, sugar and salt can form part of a balanced diet, and can help you get the nutrients you need for good health.
A wholegrain lower sugar cereal with semi-skimmed milk and fruit sliced over the top is a tasty and healthier breakfast.
This video is seven years old. In that time many doctors and researchers have come to realize the flaws in some of the advice this video. People should look at more current evidence for effective and healthy weight loss advice.
very inspiring ，thanks!
