Full of ...yeah.... poop.

Unfortunately, it's not only on Youtube. A friend of mine went to see a dietetician and she told her not to eat after 7 pm. She also told her it was no use using a regular scale because she was doing zumba and that she probably was putting on muscle. Wait, whaaaaaaat?

the video should be reported and banned

:huh:

I just see that video as tips for a healthier lifestyle... nothing wrong with it?

She's so full of **** I'm surprised it's not seeping out of every orifice of her body...

What's wrong with this video? I'm confused.

Forgive me, but which bits of this video are people disagreeing with?

I actually do a lot of the things that she's suggesting and it certainly helps me to lose weight. Different things work for different people, of course, but I'm genuinely confused about what the problems are with her tips.

Would be very grateful if someone could explain it to me. Thanks

I may be missing something as well. A lot of things this person is talking about is what a lot of Drs and nutristionist tell us to do.
I am not seeing anything wrong with this either.

Message I received from video- Drink more water, eat less crap, get more rest, watch portion control, and it's important to exercise. That doesn't seem overly harmful.

Really I'm the one full of poop. Ok. So tell me...

Thank you for explaining your viewpoint in a bit more detail. I think the issue is that you've taken the video on face value and only on the information specifically presented in it, whereas I was identifying with the principle of what was said and applying it to everything I've already learned.

Here are more specific responses to the points you raised:


1. "So tell me when you realize that you re 80% full?" - I thought this was similar to my personal rule of stopping eating when I was no longer hungry, rather than when full. Once you feel full, you've already had too much. If you're simply no longer hungry, then you're done. I tend to stop every now and then whilst eating to assess whether or not I'm actually still hungry.

2. You're correct that it's worrying to see young girls trying to lose weight when they don't need to. However, I didn't see anything in the video actually encouraging children to do this? It appeared to be aimed at people who genuinely need to reassess their lifestyle and make healthy improvements. She was a healthy-looking girl explaining how she stays healthy.

3. "Wait what was that about dont eat 3 hours before bed cause your metabolism slows" - Personally, if I'm actually hungry then I'll eat regardless of the time. However, I believe there is some truth in the frequency of eating having an effect on your metabolism as well as your blood sugar. That's why anyone with insulin problems finds they feel better eating little and often. It's also why blood glucose tests require an overnight fast in order to obtain a proper result. Blood sugar and metabolism are linked, so what you eat, when and what exercise you do can all have an effect on metabolism. My endocrinologist has been very helpful with my questions about metabolism, so I'm simply sharing the knowledge here.

4. "Or the par where just a simple glass of water upon waking will also speed it up." - I believe there may also be some truth to this. What she hasn't explained is that it needs to be a cold glass of water. Drinking a liquid colder than you will lower your body temperature. This then causes your body to react as it will use energy to try and raise your temperature again. That's why you're recommended to eat ice cream when you're cold - it will make you shiver which raises your body temperature. It just forces your body to kick-start a reaction. Apparently you should drink tea when too hot in order to cool down. Neat, huh?

5. And yes, sugar from soda does make you fat. There's really nothing good in there.


I think it's actually really valuable to discuss different ideas and share the research that each of us has done throughout our weight loss. We should discuss and evaluate the conflicting evidence that's presented online more. But it should be just that...a polite discussion. No more arguing please, people?

Unfortunately, it's not only on Youtube. A friend of mine went to see a dietetician and she told her not to eat after 7 pm. She also told her it was no use using a regular scale because she was doing zumba and that she probably was putting on muscle. Wait, whaaaaaaat?

What's wrong with not eating after 7pm? I do that during the work week when I know I will not have much time before going to bed to get ready for the next day...

The time you consume your calories does not matter in weight loss or to your body. It is all personal preference, like yours.

Wrong! Calories consumed after 7pm are commonly known as "Demon Calories" because they head straight to your gut, hips, and thighs and instantly become fat cells. Demon Calories have never been known to stray to the chest area. Ever.

Holiday troll post OP?

Holiday? What holiday? As for trolling....yeah cause that's what it is right? You do know what trolling is right?


But I'd love to know what holiday.

Well, it is Labour Day for the US and Canada. I don't know where you're from to know if you have it as a holiday too.

That's what I was thinking but I also started wondering if it was a trick question :huh: :blushing: :laugh:
Holidays make people grumpy?:ohwell:

How can a holiday I didnt know about in a country I dont live in make me grumpy? :noway:

There are some odd people here on MFP....

:laugh: indeed.

Yet I'm called the troll.
