Watched a program the other night about 10 things we need to know to lose weight, scientifically proven. These are the 10 points.

1. DON'T skip meals
2. Change your plate size from 12" to 10" or even smaller.
3. Count your calories.
4. Don't blame your weight on your METABOLISM.
5. Eat protein, to keep you fuller longer.
6. Eat soup, more often, keeps you fuller longer.
7. Eat LOW FAT DAIRY, don't cut out dairy from your diet.
8. Exersize.
9. AFTER BURN from exersize plays huge role in weight loss.
10.Keep moving, even the little bits during the day will add up to loss.

Just wanted to share the insight. It made the point with scientifically proven studies and experiments, so if we can incorporate most or all of these points, I think we'd find those pounds falling away?

    Love the tip about the smaller plate size. That's definitely one that would be great for me, as I love to pile it on & cram it down.

    All of these are false, but I had a huge LOL @ 7.

    Listen up, lactose intolerant people (80% of the world's population), there is no hope for you. You HAVE to eat LOW FAT DAIRY to loose weight.

    Sorry, it's a scientifically proven fact. Don't even try loosing weight without it.

    Look at all those overweight vegans! Look at all those fat paleo/primal lifestyle peeps! They are all so unhealthy, look at them, they need dairy... the poor things.

    Anyway *ahem*

    1. Meal placement does not affect weight loss. Eating a calorie deficit does. Spacing your meals evenly can help some people cope with a calorie deficit and curb hunger. There are, however, people who find that intermittent fasting works very well for them.

    2. Your brain estimates hunger and fullness by volume, and you will have a perception of being fuller if you eat the same amount of food on a plate with no extra space. This is just a trick to help you eat a calorie deficit. There are a lot of people, myself included, who have lost weight without purchasing new dinner plates, though. It's hardly necessary, especially if you count your calories.

    3. This is another helpful aid for eating a calorie deficit, and probably the most useful because it is exact. I would also include keeping a food journal.

    4. Hormonal factors for metabolism can be extreme in some people, like people who have long histories of disordered eating or those with hypothyroidism. It can be very difficult for people in these circumstances to get enough macros/micros on a diet that would put them in a calorie deficit because their BMR's are so low. For most people, it's not an issue, but if you have trouble loosing weight it is important to see a doctor. Also, hormonal responses to stress and also to calorie restriction can lower your metabolism and make weight loss more difficult and lead to plateaus and stalls. Why discount these things out of hand?

    5 & 6. Tricks to deal with a calorie deficit and curb hunger. I'd also add raw and steamed vegetables.

    7. AHHAHAHHAHAHA What was this sponsored by the dairy industry? Seriously, were there lots of Got Milk? commercials?

    8, 9 & 10. Exercise ("afterburn" effect included) and activity are not necessary for weight loss, eating a calorie deficit is. Exercise can help you create a calorie deficit but it is not necessary.

    Here, I'll translate:

    1. Eat a calorie deficit.
    2. Eat a calorie deficit.
    3. Eat a calorie deficit.
    4. Ignore people with metabolic issues, pretend plateaus and stalls never happen.
    5. Eat a calorie deficit.
    6. Eat a calorie deficit.
    7. Support corporate sponsors.
    8. Create a calorie deficit.
    9. Create a calorie deficit.
    10. Create a calorie deficit.

    I'll admit it doesn't make for great TV, though.

    And...I know I ruined my metabolism when I was working out like crazy (10+ hours a week) and eating too little. So yes, I gained weight back because of MY METABOLISM. And I also have been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid...hmmm....

    I've done all of these things for nearly 3 years and I lose maybe 1lb per month, of wise one?

    My top ten things (scientifically proven, by me :laugh:)

    Seriously though do what works for you. I have never done "low fat" anything, I drink whole milk (yes you heard me WHOLE) which compared to "real cows milk" is just watered down processed crap. I work out and though I don't have to work out to lose weight my *kitten* certainly looks better. Loose skin and a soft body just don't do it for me. I eat a lot of lean meats, and a lot of red meat. I also eat a lot of veggies, well... I just eat a lot of everything.

    I don't consider sitting on the couch working my thumbs working out either. I lose about 5lbs a month, but inches. 11 weeks after my daughter is born and I am almost at a 6 pack


    But this is me. This works for me. Me. :) have fun with what works for YOU.

    So true! I conduct research for a living, and most days consist of me screwing around and taking pictures and notes of what makes the biggest mess lol!

    I also believe your since, because I see no reason to believe you are doing anything wrong, fan-tabulous job. I drink skim 'cause I hated the hell out of milk my 'whole' life except the past few years...when I have discovered an amazing drink called the chai latte :tongue:

    PHYLITA: Good post. Don't get discouraged by all the *kitten* throwing shyt at your post.

    Out of all the things you listed, writing down/ tracking what I stuff in my pie hole has had the biggest effect.

    Oh...and it won't be long before some dork posts that you forgot to post "lift heavy"..."do squats and deadlifts..."
    I think you just called yourself a dork...

    1, 2, 5, 8. 9 and 10 aren't bad ... it's not all a load of crap. Soup ... really? IMO, Soup runs right through you and is usually loaded with sodium ... pretty worthless, no matter what the commercials tell us. I limit dairy ... so I guess I am doomed to be fat, although I have lost quite a bit of weight since I do very little dairy (only a little cheese) now and am smaller than I have been in 30 years - I am 52 now. Many people don't agree with cutting calories ... but I do ... 1200 is what I do with protein as my focus. Sorry you are getting slammed so hard, but don't set yourself up as an expert unless you truly are ... which obviously you aren't. None of us are experts on what works for everyone ... otherwise we wouldn't be here. My favorites are the smaller plate and increasing your protein intake (as the protein keeps you full longer - my experience only). Best of luck to all!

    LOL. What are these scientifically proven studies and experiments you speak of? Can you site any of them?

    The one thing I needed to know:

    1. www.myfitnesspal.com

    I used it exactly as directed (ignoring all the crap people say on the forums) and had no problems losing and I've maintained easily for almost 2 years now. :drinker:
