The Truth about Diet and Weight Loss
I want to talk tonight about weight loss. It’s a subject everyone is worried about. And the problem is that diets don’t work. Everybody has tried a diet. I haven’t met a person yet that’s hasn’t tried something, from kids to people in their eighties; everybody has tried some kind of diet and they just don’t work. In recent studies when they looked at a lot of their major diets (some good one’s, Atkins, The Zone), they put them all together statistically and found a ten pound weight loss on average. Now, these people lost a hundred pounds and gained it back of course. But, all that work, all that money, all those videos, for ten pounds of weight loss?
So the truth is, we have to find a life style that will allow you to stay at a weight that is healthy for you. That’s a much different way of thinking than all this crash dieting that goes on. What you have to learn is how to take care of yourself; you have to learn the appropriate foods; you have to make better choices. That’s the only way it’s going to work.

The videos that spoke to me were by Steve Turano. Search YouTube for, “Foods and Diet for Easy Fat Loss” (watch?v=zgN9tdYPWzc) He has more and has the most common sense.
To emphasize the point about calories, watch this one, “Eat Snickers and Lose Weight – The Calorie Principle” (watch?v=D6LdCBBJp-w&feature=channel)
The subject is about fat loss which has nothing to do with eating carrots and salad, but it is, of course, better to eat right. It is a starting point.

That you had 8 min 10 sec to spare for a crappy old man giving lectures on weight loss, is your main problem. Move out that ass. Go travel some place u like. And come back home healthier, mentally and physically.

He is wrong about exercise. Do not exercise to lose weight if you are obese. Do not associate fat loss with exercise except when you are about 10 or 15 pounds towards your target weight. If you are obese then just follow his advice until you are ready for exercise. Exercise will scare off many people from even trying to lose fat. I lost 50 lbs of fat in 8 months and am now slim. I am disabled and can’t exercise. It was easy.

@operationcwaI789789 Diets are only useful if you can stick to it and it’s a good one. But the problem is that most people don’t stay on a diet for their whole life. Water is good, but still overrated. Idk about hormone therapy though. Just eat well and exercise. (:

I’ve never followed a diet trend. He’s right, I have never done a diet and I have never been overweight & I’m in my 30’s. I grow my own food & raise chickens for my own eggs too. I eat normal real foods at a moderate level. Eat early in the morning, lots of water throughout the day, a VERY strict sleep schedule, a very small dinner & hardly ever eat in the evening.
