The Weight Loss Scientist: You've Been LIED To About Calories, Dieting & Losing Weight: Giles Yeo

IF YOU COULD DO US A MASSIVE FAVOUR AND LIKE the video 👍🏽 By doing that, you’re helping us out more than you know 🙏🏽 thank you

I truly needed all that information. Thank you, from South Africa.

yet he cant burn the fat deposits on his cheeks. he definitely eating a lot of carb and sugar.

Revelation! I knew this about orange juice but i got my confirmation in this pod cast. I think i became obese because of my aquired habits of orange juice drinking in the morning.... We need more awareness about this issue

Hardly a healthy specimen himself, you should practice what you preach like other doctors, Dr Barry, Ekberg, Berg, Baker for example, all fit and lean, you may have academic credentials but visually it looks like a book promotion only .

Great information, except saying the evangelicals are vegan or vegetarians and giving him a hard time, not true lol that could be anyone.

Now 46, always been lean, but now leaner than ever by eating only meat. 😅🤷🏼‍♂️

I barely work out, am moderately active, 6'4" 90kg , from day to day I can swing between eating 1000 calories to 4000 calories. My weight doesn't change. Personally believe it is about what I put into my body over how many calories I burn. I also believe what Yeo says about diet correlating to most modern day diseases - All these things we rarely encountered until the 80's onwards.

👏👏👏

Excellent interview, congrats! However, as a scientist, I feel more about biology and nutrition should have been discussed and not simply call certain eating patterns (e.g. keto) “a stupid diet”and saying any attempt to lose weight makes the brain trigger a warning and makes you suffer.

That is simply not true and a low carb or keto diet is perfectly sustainable (you are never hungry even while losing weight) and takes zero effort. If you fall back to bad habits it’s because there is addictive sugar everywhere and because of social habits.

There is nothing natural or sensible about our modern food supply, with supermarkets having all kind of foods available 24/7, most of which had never been available for humans before, including for example fresh fruits and vegetables in cold areas.

Hubby and I have ‘been keto’ for over 12 years. He’s 70 this year and I will be 66. Just had our annual physical, and we are both like someone 40 years younger. It IS sustainable.

I gained 15 kgs in a year.. and im stressing out..

BMI don't take count of genetic difference, some has bones who weight more or muscle who weight more than average people, or you are larger shoulder shape than other. Some can be 1,7m with 80 kg and look more skinny than some at 1,7m with 70kg. And it's even worst if you compare a skinny 1,7m no abs and no muscle look compare to a 1,7m who have abs and decent muscle size (healthy not going bulk).
I've stop listen medecin about bmi etc since i was 10 and was say "obese" for my size when in reality i was just having abs and decent muscle compare to many same size of my age who was not doing many sports (and i was not doing musculation etc, only judo and some exercice at home sometimes) and my diet was way worst than now that she is more healthy than in the past

sorry as a bodybuilder on a calorie counting diet i can say that this is horse shit.... do not trust chinese snake oil

So what’s the solution??? How can we lose weight? 😩

The chemistry between you two is amazing; like two old friends sharing info. Also, this was packed with meaningful information. THANK YOU. Sincerely.

This was amazing 👏 Thank you!

A fat person explains how to burn fat. 😂😂😂😂

It's even harder as a perimeno woman! I have this weight I cannot lose even with diet and exercise.... AND trying to find the right combo of diet and exercise is hard too.

What if you work swing or grave like me lol my breakfast is typically lunch, haha

He never explained why we need to eat less meat for our health or the environment. And there was an overly obese person on one of the magazine covers and the headline said “this is healthy.” So people are right to call that out, they’re not assholes. If we want an honest discussion, celebrating it as healthy is dishonest

The main benefit to counting calories is that it doesn’t take long before you learn not to waste your calories on high calorie foods like chips. Obviously, it’s probably impossible to count your calories in such a way that you nail it exactly every day, but that’s not what will make you overweight if you gave a general set goal amount.

He says that obese kids adults also has a brain fat connection that is not working..what about all the obesity people that is now on osempic wegovy monjauro...thát did not change the connection in the brain ...insulin is controlled...and the weight just drops off....

The 'Calorie Counter +' app is the best way to track your calories and macros. Most people have no idea or don't have the time to work out their diet but this app allows you to easily

Law of thermodynamics, energy cannot be destroyed only transfered. So it is calories in calories out. Respectfully disagree.

I was with him until he said, cutting out meat is going to do anything for the environment. We really need to stop our reliance on fossil fuels. Meat GHG is potatoes comparatively.

Fuck me!!! I have need to hit the gym now...

Amazing video

❤❤🥩🍗🥓🍖❤️❤️
Dr Noodle-Bowl is totally wrong on the meat-issue. Meat is the most healthy food you can eat. ❤❤🥩🍗🥓🍖❤️❤️

If you think you have gluten intolerance you just go to doctor and he will give you sinple test. And i agree this gluten free diet craze is a bless for all celiacs in the world.

i’m poor, i’m vegan, 160lbs, less than 10% of bf, most people think that i’m using gears. 5 years counting calories and training hard. than i see this specialist saying that I’m wrong 😑

When we were young we would be out all day riding our bmx with mates. Would come home for dinner. Plus sports all week and Saturdays. It’s a very simple equation. Activity vs very little as we get older. But if you’re a tradie. Then you should be pretty lean. Unless you’re eating sht at work and at home. Soft drinks etc.

Stop repeating your girlfriend

I love his line. I been telling people for years that people are only Vegans because of prosperity. It is not realistic for most of us.

I know I am being lied to about weight and its loss.

Great interview! Really enjoyed it! Thanks!

Dude has tits and talks about fat loss ….

I did not gain 15kg between the ages of 20 and 50. In fact, I lost a few kg and was somewhat thinner and fitter at 50. Do you want to know my secret?

Well, first I started off as a fat 20 year old ... then I just eat whatever I felt like for 30 years, and I was 50. 🤣

I was never as fit or thin as Steven, but then I never exercised and I've never seen the inside of a gym in my whole life. I ended up like Giles. I also never ever attempted any diet. I just simply ate whatever I felt like whenever I was hungry, and stopped when I was not. It's probably genetic. My dad had 4 siblings, my mother had 7. Only one was fat. All the rest (and all my grandparents) has the same body shape.

There are people who live to eat, and there are people who eat to live. And I have to admit, I'm in the later group. Giles talked about people who love food and those who fear food. I'm more in the "don't care" camp. I only eat because I don't enjoy feeling hungry.

Why do people think that eating plant base is less destructive? Do any of these people realize what it takes to grow food and what destruction has to be done to the ground to grow those plants. Plant base people always feel they destroy nothing because they eat plants.

Both look in pretty poor condition

1: Protein: 16% of energy per day
2: Fibre: 30 grams per day
3: 5% or less of added sugars per day (sugars not tied to fibre)

Don't want to be fat? Don't eat. That simple. Also prevents cancer, because we aren't meant to eat 3 meals a day, hell not even once a day.

I think most people will do great on low carb unprocessed food. Keto is extreme, put some fruits and vegetables in it, limit the "meh" carbs like oats and potatoes and keep the crap carbs away like wheat and sugar because those are addictive and lead to autoimmune conditions (wheat) absolutely every overweight patient i talked to was obviously addicted to wheat or sugar or both. Wheat plus fat is the number one addictive substance in the world right now, oh and sugar plus some artificial aromas(coke, ice cream). And milk is for baby cows, maybe this is why you feel bad after dairy. Butter works tough

Listening to a person who’s obese in how to eat correctly

It’s like me talking to a drunk person in how to fix the alcoholism

So after mentioning the environment I have to ignore everything he said, what a waste of time
