Communicate: Why we have to halt disregarding the psychology of pounds loss
“Getting rid of pounds is definitely effortless you eat fewer and work out much more!” But this is only not accurate, as several of us might know, most eating plans only final result in momentary pounds loss. We often disregard the psychology of taking in and internalising erroneous beliefs lead to us to are unsuccessful in getting rid of pounds.

The title is accurate – there is clearly a psychological component to the rational of losing weight. It is ALL psychological. Once you get to that psychological place, with the right knowledge about weight loss, you WILL lose weight. DETERMINATION to lose weight to reach a GOAL and a REASON for the GOAL are keys. So, if someone's weight is causing health problems, their determination will be stronger if they have a Reason and a goal for losing the weight.
Don't go on a diet, change your diet
The piece of metal sticking out of this woman's face says it all.
I think she is just trying to justify why her job is not useless and then failed.
Great talk. One thing about excercise/gym: before you start get a heart rate monitor! Then start exercising NOT EXCEEDING 130 BPM!!! Your body hates going over 130 and this will make YOU hate the exercise too. Unfortunately many gym trainer will tell to to push really hard. Don't listen to them until you had at least 6months of regular , i.e. 2x a week excercise at 130
I love how butt-hurt this comment section is.
"But…but… eating less does make you lose weight! It does! It does it does it DOES!!!"
I have never heard such bullshit in my life!
Ego depletion is a myth. The original study could not be replicated with the same results and a meta analysis of published and unpublished studies revealed that it does not exist. (although i understand the temptation of being able to blame bad choices on "lack of remaining willpower")
Concluding thought is – think differently about eating less.
i ate less and lost weight. suprise!
the biggest reason, why people are so fat is very simple:
it's the advice from "experits", who say you should eat 5 times a day. no you should eat only 3 times a day normal sized portions. and you can eat whatever, even sweets sometimes, ofcourse they are bad for u, but if you eat them you only have to rememeber that they are replacement for real meal, not a desert for after real meal, because that means you just ate double portion, and double portions is what makes people fat more than anything else.
I find it very easy to lose weight whenever i feel like it. It's called discipline. Yes you can always find a explanation for why you are undisciplined,this whole video is great of convincing you of such. you fat fuck,do some goddamn sprints and eat less.
All of us who argue it truly is about calories in/out say that bc we are actually observing it. To make it more complex you could say these things: 1) food manufacturers put too much corn syrup and added sugars into their products 2) people think dieting is temporary when it's actually a lifestyle change. So people don't want to be held accountable for eating fast food and buying food loaded with corn syrup and sugar. I guess the only solution is to force a giant tax on those foods and/or get them off the shelf/street corner. There are plenty of us, although the severe minority, who make choices not to eat that shit, to work out a lot, etc. The successful people understand sacrifices and dedication. You can be one of them, it's only up to you though.
I can only comment on myself but the only time I've been even a pound overweight was when I had thyroid cancer and it wasn't functioning. I got that taken care of and easily dropped the 20 or so lbs I had gained when my metabolism was failing. If you truly have a thyroid issue, you can go to the doctor and get your hormones tested and get on synthetic supplements if that is really the case. If not then stop making fucking excuses. During that time when I had those extra lbs, no, I didn't sit there and hate myself…I worked out harder than ever and busted my ass to stay in shape even while I was sick. Instead of beating yourself up in your head, beat yourself up physically and reap the rewards. Not to mention intense cardio releases endorphins, which improve mood. I feel incredible after I go running.
And this is a problem only cropping up for the first time in human history in the past 2-3 decades. There is NO WAY genetics changed so quickly in that time. It has to do with a shift in less physical activity, more food loaded with sugar, less nutrition education, all at the same time. If these binge eaters ate straight out of a garden, they wouldn't be obese.
And the thing about the pizza, there are many other ways to mimic such a thing, through all vegan methods, and even meat replacements.. So.. If you want some sort of pizza like thing.. go ahead.. you might be surprised at how much better it tastes and there is less of a hang over feeling from it.. XD
Before any more people attempt to call what she has to say garbage. She was just being true to her own thoughts and so on. And I'll just put out there that there are TONNES of great ways to lose weight and so on and belong to healthy lifestyles. Just find which one resonates with you and to that instead of wishing for some magic pill they'd love to sell you. The more you learn, the more you earn.
How did this person ever get a TED talk with such a flawed presentation. She categorically denies that weight loss can be attributed to "eating less and moving more", which is absolutely false. You DO lose weight if you eat less and move more. This is nutrition and exercise science 101. But then she uses that as the basis for her argument of maintaining weight after weight loss due to psychological issues. Her findings regarding changing habits are sound, but her denial of the basic principals of nutrition and then using that to build her argument are so flawed, it bears being pointed out. A better proposal would have been acknowledging the role that calorie restriction and exercise play in losing weight, but psychological issues may or may not play a role in maintaining that weight loss.
This is bullshit
From my own weight loss experience, diets never really work. Even if it worked, it will only be a short term result. You will always gain back the weight you've lost. When you're dieting, you restrict your calories intake, can't eat the junk food you love etc. Once your weight loss reaches a plateau, you feel depressed and have the tendency to binge on those food you refused to eat while dieting. And you will gain back the weight. For a long term result, I recommend ppl to NOT eat around the clock, but notice your hunger cues. You can eat anything you want, but only eat when you're truly hungry. Use a hunger scale, 3 means you're starting to feel the hunger, 7 means you're full(you can feel theres food in your stomach). Eat slowly (20 min at least). I can assure once you start to understand hunger & satiety, you will lose weight in a slow but definite way. Just have to be patient and wait for the result. Take small meals a day. Key is: eat only when you're hungry (level 3), stop eating once you're full (level 7). Dont stuff youself anymore once you're full, you wont need that excess nutrients anyway. This method causes no pain, you can eat WHATEVER you want (but I recommend you to eat meal instead of eating junk foods). Before you eat, ask yourself "Am I hungry?" & "Am I at level 3?". This is the key to weight loss.
"Don't think of a white bear" made me think about cats. I like cats. They purr. Can I has caturday nao?
Dont eat less. Eat Differently
How did this get so many likes and so little dislikes? What absolute garbage.
All this bs about how eating less won't make you lose weight… IT WILL. If you just stopped putting fucking food in your fucking mouth (decrease your caloric intake) your fat ass would lose weight.
She is gorgeous, omg!
