I do not need to lose weight, and I don't need physical therapy. I just can not get ENOUGH of Bob and Brad's authenticity, professionalism, and humorous delivery. Cheers Bob and Brad and all of your team, thank you for making me laugh and for teaching me things I didn't know.
I’m crushing on them 😍😍😍 up every morning at 6am listening to these guys … After watching: Not the broken heart emoji 🤣 we can fix it together guys! 😍 good day everyone watching.
Went carb free and never looked back. I’m no longer diabetic type 2. Headaches were horrific for three days. Massive weight loss after menopause is possible ladies.
@@wendyhannan2454 Processed carbohydrates and added sugars are both bad for you. Unarguably. Unprocessed carbohydrates are great for you though. Vegetables. Fruits. Whole grains. Legumes. All correlated with slimmer waists and healthier lives
I am a 69 year old female. I am very arthritic. I walk a lot and was touching my toes after my walk to stretch my muscles. I watched your video saying not to do this. AMAZING! I was finding my lower back hurt so bad a night I could hardly roll over and it was so bad in the morning I would have to get up to relieve the pain. I stopped touching my toes and have had no more issues since. Thank you SO much for your advice.
I lost around 40lbs after going into the hospital in October 2020, I had extremely high blood pressure and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. So I basically cut out grains and sugar, and if I did eat some it was all about portion control. By about the end of February 2021 I lost 40lbs. My weight has basically stabilized since then. I went to put on a coat a couple of weeks ago when the weather turned cold, and all my coats fit me like tents -- I had to go buy a new coat for this winter. Anyhow Bob and Brad are right about what they are saying here. BTW my last 2 diabetes doctor's visits my blood sugar is back in the normal range.
@@andredarin8966 I have been to my diabetes Dr twice now and they tested my A1C and he told me that I'm at the normal range (not even pre-diabetic now). I go back for my 3rd appointment in February.
I moved from a psych/theatre major to a physical therapist/theatre major at university. I also became extremely apathetic during COVID & gained an ungodly amount of weight. I love Bob & Brad!!! They keep me sane & now, in check. ❤️❤️❤️
So I tried this. Today is the last day of the 5th week. I went from 181 Lbs to 170.6 Lbs. YEA! I never really paid attention to the carbs content before. Your video was revealing. I exercised routinely but could not drop weight. I was like what the heck? Why am I not loosing weight? So the reality of carb reduction does work. Also, along with that I exercise moderately. Stretching, a little dumbbell workout, and I average about 4 miles per day walking and a little jogging too. I am 61 year old Male. So hopefully this will encourage someone to do it.
@@lonnettedouglas5688 there are many keto bread recipes on line and many stores are now carrying Keto bread. I do recommend you reading ingredient labels to make sure they are truly keto. A lot of products are calling themselves keto but are not and of course butter is always okay! Good luck
I love you guys. Since lockdown started (in Scotland) so far you've managed to help me to: identify then fix the pinched nerve in my shoulder; sort my posture which has got rid of other back pain I was experiencing for years; you've encouraged me to enjoy exercising regularly and now there's this really sound nutritional advice which will help me, my husband and kids. Also, as a result of all this I'm even sleeping better (chronic insomniac the whole of my life). You also cheer me up, whatever else is going on. Congrats on your weight loss and thank you ever so much for the work you do.
@@royaltee8676 They have several on shoulder pain, but start with the one titled “What is causing your shoulder pain? Tests you can do yourself.” The RUclips algorithm will then bring all their shoulder videos to the surface for you.
@@coffeeandasewingmachine I'm sure they're making more money with their own channel than they'd ever make with NPR. Not worth the hassle, the loss of creative freedom, the politics, or the pay cut.
Started this program in March and as of today I’ve lost 27 pounds. My lab work is better, also. Typically I keep carbs below 100 grams and fiber above 30 grams. No more white bread, very little pasta, and a drastic reduction in any sugared beverage. I also primarily use Truvia for my ice tea and have eggs and bacon at least five times a week. No cholesterol problems and improving HA1C. Amazing.
Yes!!! I did the same but because I joined a weight loss group at work & had heard so much info about cutting carbs + I also KNEW I had to cut sugars 🙄 😬 cuz I have a HUGE sweet tooth 🤦🏻♀️ & OMG 😱🤯🤯 it worked!!!! My 1st 5lbs that I lost, I don't think counted cuz I had a molar extracted & that kept me from eating comfortably but I kept up with lowering my carbs, increasing fiber + protein and lost and additional 10lbs!!! My starting weight was 200lbs and the last time I weighed myself, I was at 186 🙌❤️... I started late Feb2022 & that last weigh in was April 3, 2022 & the only "exercise" I did was "fast walking" that I did at my custodial job 😅
You guys helped me recover from my stroke. I did your videotaped exercises in addition to my physical therapy visits. Both of you look great! Congrats on your weight loss!
Watching this video made me so so happy! I am a student physical therapist who lost about 30 pounds when I switched to eating mostly plant based. Currently, I am working with a fellow Occupational Therapy student in Tulsa, OK. We teaching classes that we have created about plant based eating to people with physical disabilities. They have loved it so far and it has really opened a conversation about why it's so easy to eat unhealthy. Thank you for spreading the word! I'm a big fan!
I ate mostly plant based- following Greger's advice a lot- for 18 months and my blood glucose rose nearly into the prediabetic range. I wasn't trying to lose weight but gained fat according to professional body fat measure.My usual serving of chickpeas too me almost into the diabetic range. Had to back off and reintroduce animal foods. Much. harder than losing 40 lbs. years ago by eating sweets, seconds, and snacks on weekends only.
Banza pasta is made from chickpeas and I did the math on their rotini and it came out to 4. It’s available at Walmart. It has a different texture than traditional pasta but not as labor intensive as zoodles.
Amazing! My husband and I just started this, and between us we lost ten lbs last month!!! It may not seem like a big deal to some, but to us it is tremendous! This is the first nutrition program that he has ever followed, or felt it made sense. This is important as HE insists upon doing the coking,-and it's so much easier when you're both on the same food plan. I notice the grocery stores are stocking foods they didn't have six months ago, with high fiber, low carbs and the nutrition information plainly visible. After a week or two of mathematical ups and lows it becomes second nature. I just want to thank you two, we're onto something here!
Oh my goodness!! I just checked my favorite organic whole grain rice cakes, figuring they must have an ideal 5:1 ratio. ACK!! 1 cake is only 70 calories BUT the total carbs are 16g and fiber 1g, so that means a score of 16?!? No-o-o-o-o!!! Thank you for this information, Bob & Brad!
You guys are better than Frick and Frack… And I think I’m doing a lot better at fixing my body than I ever was fixing my car! Keep on keeping on… Watching you both as like receiving a pot of gold daily! And you’re both hilarious together too! I highly recommend this kind of physical therapy… If you’re not getting up and doing what they tell you to do, you are laughing so hard you’re creating an ab workout!
This makes sense to me. It also shows where/why I've been struggling. Carbs divided by fiber, how simple. I'm going to try this. Thank you for the information.
Popcorn with salt and butter is great. I had it for dinner every day for 3 weeks (depressed, and it was all I wanted) and lost 10 pounds, eating normally for other meals. Although when I think about, 3 weeks away from a hostile workplace helped too!
@ Chicken Tender. Thank you for that addition at the end. Stress, whether from workplace or other multiple sources in the last year and a half, is my biggest hurdle.
@@ljones98391 It's really diificult dealing with stress, especially from workplace jerks. I compensated by gaining over 30 pounds. Lost some but still have to watch myself. Now I just think those people mean less than nothing to me and enough practice with that means I forget about them after a little while. Hope you find a way to take good care of yourself.
I went through a huge popcorn phase with the extra butter and everything, not a good diet choice for me, if I had to mush other stuff by the end of the day
Staying away from 80 to 90 percent of packaged and processed foods has helped me the most. Most packaged foods contain too much sugar and too much salt. Getting reduced or even no salt products also really great.
We all need to remember that our bodies are so different. My endocrinologist had me match 1 gram complex carb to one gram protein in order to reduce my hypoglycemic crashes. I also lost 70 pounds.
Correct but your goal was to manage your hypoglycemic episodes, sounds like. For people not experiencing those, they could certainly cut down on all the junky carbs of which there are plenty in our diets, in general. I, too, get rebound postprandial hypoglycemia if, say, I have only a bagel for breakfast - I pay for it three hours later! Now a bagel with some eggs ( protein ) - fine. So it does depend on our goals AND current health issues ! I’m betting most people are just simply looking to lose excess weight. Most are not going to endocrinologists. Wishing you good health!
@@B3l0v3d05 Hi, I pretty much don't buy any processed foods anymore. It was a huge change. So, I have to weigh my serving of complex carb and read the chart to know the grams so that I can equal it out to my protein grams. My food scale has become my best friend in the kitchen. However, if I was looking at a label on yogurt for instance: my Chobani says 11 g protein and 16 g carbs. It is almost 1:1 so it is a safe choice for me. If it was 3:1 then I am setting my self up for a spike then a crash.
Great explanation and user friendly of the 5 to 1 Rule. Keep the information and knowledge coming in this complex and frustrating area of losing weight.
During this covid time I started baking breads, OMG! They were so good! I put on almost 20 lbs. I went to my dr. And he said loose 10 lbs. in 3 months I lost 15lbs, by cutting back on carbs!
Bob, you and Brad have "been there" as I journey through diagnosis of polyarthritis, decreasing ROM and increasing pain. Wish you could know what a bright spot your videos have been and so helpful to educating myself, even while working with my amazingly wonderful PTs. Saying big prayers for you!
I have said it before but it bears repeating. My nephew Fully-credentialed physical therapist recommended you guys when the PT’s “helping” me post-pelvic fracture were lousy. You explained things, motivated me and I recovered full mobility very soon! PS I am just telling the truth here, not meaning to cast aspersions on any of the fine PT’s out there!
Mine too. He showed quickly how to do stretches one time then after that it was just heat and massage then off to the next patient. He got paid how much for that?!
You can't help but love Bob and Brad. I hope they leave their channel up after they retire. I have referred back to them for many things over the years as issues arise. Their advice on torn rotator cuffs and exercises saved me from surgery and I healed up beautifully.
Has anyone asked yet?? I have always LOVED the 'Bob And Brad' Theme Song! Who in the world composed the song? Who is singing? It really grows on you.......
There's a new brand - BANZA pasta that has no wheat or grain at all, they use ONE ingredient! Chickpeas! 3 times the fiber, twice the protien of normal pasta! Amazing stuff... look it up.
Yes! BANZA chickpea pasta! I'm so glad you mentioned this brand of chickpea pasta. I cook it a little longer than what the box says. It's gluten free, but don't let that scare you. Yummy! Lots of protein and fiber!! You'll be satiated for hours! Now, I've got to look for more recipes using it because I've only mastered Spaghetti Bolognese.
One caution. Folks with IBS type issues or that need low FODMAP need to be careful with chickpeas. Recommend doing the slow introduction test to check whether chickpeas affect their symptoms.
@@techshabby0001 if you eat beans a little every day, like a teaspoon at first n slowly increase, then the gut microbiome can adapt and they never bother you. If you slam down a bunch all at once, then gas. It will be painful only if you were backed up with low fiber already. It's not healthy to eat the diet that never causes a good fart now n then.
Lentil pasta is also very good. Most popcorn uses gmo corn...ugh! Nothing wrong with using a small amt of butter or ghee if source is 100% grass-fed. Cheerios comes from grains that are tainted with glyphosphates which is an active ingredient in Roundup.
Oh ugh, math. My husband stopped eating anything between meals and almost all bread.. His dessert is two Oreo cookies. He got up from the computer and worked in the yard every day. Lost 51 pounds in 10 months. Easy.
,@@richsamuel2922 We moved to Wyoming a year ago from stressful, desk bound jobs in Washington, DC. We found a tiny town and fell in love with the people and the culture there. Not many fat people in Wyoming. Red state. We're trying to fit in. :)
How would you define the word “fascist”? I wonder because I find that most people can’t define it. I can’t define it off hand and I’m an English major and student of history. It’s like Left- wing and Right-wing. What does that mean exactly? All I know is that I’m a college graduate. Writer, TV producer, now actor. My husband has a Ph.d in political science from the University of Colorado and a Master’s in public administration from Harvard. Our neighbor next door works in construction. His son is in medical school. Another neighbor runs the town waste facility. His wife is an aide at the assisted living center. Our town has millionaires and truck drivers, nurses and wait staff. Good people. Friendly people. And what I have found is that people look very different when you accept them as individuals instead of just applying a label and moving on.
I cut way down on the carbs too and always try to have fruit (usually berries) with breakfast and a vegetable or a salad with lunch and dinner and I lost 50 lbs. It took YEARS for me to figure this out - that it's all about the carbs (for me anyway) to just reduce them and the weight comes off. And add more fiber, like they said. I had also adopted a little shelter dog and so the walking of the dog every day added to the weight loss too.
That is great adopting a shelter dog and both of u supporting each other along. A home means so much to our dogs and cats. They give and need love too, being part of a household or family. 🙂🙂🙂
Totally true. I'm down 55 pounds in 14 months, and still losing weight slowly. I cut out non-fruit carbs almost entirely and I eat only two meals a day with no snacks except fruit (OK, sometimes a Kind nut bar....). I don't count calories or carb grams because that's too neurotic for me. I just avoid all white foods and sugar -- bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, cereal, pastries, desserts, candy, and sweetened drinks except for honey in my morning coffee. I eat tons of meat, eggs, whole fat dairy, fresh fruit, greens, vegetables and nuts. I also walk 2-3 hours most days. And yeah, my blood chemistry is back to teenager status. It's changed my life.
Love watching you guys! Your easy-going, upbeat friendship is a pleasure to see-and you provide some very interesting/helpful information to boot! Thanks :-)
Every time I’ve had an issue with pain - sciatica, hips, shoulder, neck, rotator cuff…(I’m 60 still working full time and raising my granddaughter, have horses, so injuries happen on the regular at this point) I come to Brad & Bobs You Tube channel and whatever they teach to correct the issue works. So far 100% of the time. So I will take their solid advice and get my 20 extra covid pounds off!! Thank you guys!! I tell everyone I know about your channel. Your channel is a huge blessing for me and keeps me going strong every day.
Makes a lot of sense. I’ve found when I have a diet focused on fiber intake I feel better and lose weight, though never thought about using this 5:1 ratio as a benchmark for making good choices.
I can't thank you guys enough for this video. I've never heard of the 5:1 rule until now. I'm basically a flexitarian but have really done badly with the carbs and sweets since the pandemic. I gained weight and want to get it together for my health and weight. Btw, it's numerator over denominator. 😃
@@stargazer2042 Um, that's not low carb in the usual sense. Low carb usually means you take carbs, ignore the ratio, and replace them with unhealthy things like excess meats and oils.
I too gained weight over these past 2 years. I’m cutting out sugar, bread, juices, cakes, bagels. It sure is hard to lose weight though. Bob and Brad really helped me with physio so I’m back to light weight training and walking again.. I’m wondering if it’s my age that’s making losing weight difficult
@@AP-nx6xo Check out the anti-aging interviews at Modern Healthspan and then check out the video "How not to diet" by Michael Greger. If you just want the top few tips, 1) Get high intensity exercise as often as you can, 2) Eat as many low-calorie, high nutrition foods as you can (the best source of nutrition is plants), 3) For the high calorie foods you do eat, move them earlier in the day. 4) If you do cheat, have plans in place before-hand to turn a large cheat into a small cheat. 5) Maintain your mental health and optimism. Costs don't matter if you are not able to carry self-pride and optimism. The two sources at the top will help you find ways to increase your metabolism (although HIIT is a big one) so you can focus more on nutrients and less on calories, but until you get that stuff in place you have to focus on both. For 2) the first step is to get rid of liquid calories and for 1) note that a gym class will help you push yourself beyond previous limits. I have made far more progress with Zumba than I ever would have coming in and visiting the machines for a few minutes until I got bored.
I’m going to try this! I injured my rotator cuff badly, and followed the videos you guys posted on it, particularly the sleeping position and it healed without surgery! Thank you so much!
Love you guys! You are so helpful! Dr Greger is amazing and plant based eating is the way to go! Can you talk more about what you have been eating on the plant based diet?
I have had massive inflammatory issues from 3 or 4 years old , 48 now and these guys have helped me find exercises, besides swimming , that I am 100% able to do . Their delivery and banter kept me coming back . Love these guys !
Ok so you talk about all the things you shouldn’t eat, so what DO you eat? You say you’re not hungry, you feel full. What are you eating every day that replaces the bread, toast, waffles, French Toast, pancakes and those types of yummy breakfast foods as well as other meals?? Thank you!
Hi guys! I recently got plunged into the fitness trainer postion at my gym. Most of our memembers our above 55. Your videos have been so helpful. Thanks so much!
When I was 24, I literally was able to exercise my way out of a bad diet LITERALLY. I was 5-9 215 and in the summer all I did was play basketball outside at the YMCA after work. I ate McDonalds literally several times a day as I was addicted to those $1 double cheeseburgers, fries and the sweet tea. Playing basketball for like 3 hours 4-5 days a week helped me lose 30 pounds in a month and a half (185 pounds), I worked all of my muscles literally just playing ball and sweating my ass off. I cannot do that now though for sure 🤣🤣🤣.
Thanks guys, for always being the reasonable and sensible people you are. Understanding a plant based diet is a healthy option even if it’s a few days a week. And cutting out carbs, without going Paleo 🙃 is so great!
I’m a Registered Dietitian and I tell my patients to go on a low STARCH, low SUGAR diet. Just like you are saying. I also tell them to measure their portions. Use those calculations on 1/2 cup servings.
Yes! The only thing I measure is the 'carb' foods, like grains and corn. I use a measuring scoop from the dollar store. Never eat more than a cup...that's 2 servings. i don't count carbs from non-starchy veggies.
Ann, yes! 1/2 cup portions. I lost 30 lbs. I used those little 1/2 cup pyrex bowls and put in nuts, veggies, yogurt, meats, fruit. Ate one bowl an hour, it's really hard to do at first, for me at least. And moved. Portion control is half the battle. No fake food the other.
@@joyfaith1711 How many people are going to cut ALL starch and sugar? Especially cold-turkey? Don’t let the perfect get in the way of the good. And, while “low” is relative, there’s nothing that says low can’t be defined by the dietician. (It should be.)
In order to get your ratios correct you need to make sure that the data has the same terms (I.e. milligrams, grams), to make adequate comparisons. Don’t forget to do this.
They're caring, helpful, thoughtful, sincere AND funny on occasion. What else could you want? Thanks for the hip flexor tip, guys! My hip had been hurting me for a couple of months and my chiro always adjusted my low back, a problem area but not my hip problem. Again, thanks❣👌😊
Thank you Bob and Brad for showing me the right way to take better care of myself physically! You always make me smile everytime I watch you everyday! Thank God for you guys!!!
This vid just happened to be in my recommended but i absolutely adore these guys they’re so wholesome and hilarious. I knew it was gonna be iconic from the intro
I've lost 70 pounds in 1 year on Keto by 'Zeroing' out my carbs. I also lowered my waist size by 4 inches. Also, my Rosacea is nearly gone. Plus...I was on high blood pressure meds which I have now been able to stop taking and maintain a normal blood pressure. Keto shouldn't be viewed as a 'diet' per se. Maintaining Ketosis is a metabolic process. When the body does not have enough glucose for energy, it starts burning stored fats instead. Don't be afraid of trying Keto. Carbs, sugar, vegetable and seed oils, and fructose are poisons to the body. Don't eat anything that says low fat either.
I'm glad you found the secret! As a 55 year old woman, I finally fixed my metabolism using Keto!! And you're right, the pounds came off eating delicious food. (My husband lost 20 lbs of 2 months low carbs 25 years ago but I couldn't get on board because my mental block was saying "I Can't Eat All That Food-- it Can't Work For Me"... but now, years later I realize the secret is in the Number of Carbs! I don't have to starve! Keto has changed my life, healed my pre-diabetes , healed my fibromyalgia, healed my depression. I look and feel my young self again! I lost weight eating my fav foods. I now eat ice cream (stevia sweetened, home made) and I eat strawberry shortcake (again, stevia sweetened) and sugar free whipped cream.
This is great! I just discovered you two and I'm so glad I did. I just wanted to "approve this message." I also follow Dr. Greger amongst other reliable doctors (both MD and PhD) dieticians in the plant-based community. A whole-food plant-based diet is so healthy and checks all the boxes for preventing the chronic diseases that plague the developed world. Also helps you stay full and lose weight. Now on to more of your P.T. videos. Thanks Bob & Brad!
I’ve been doing keto for a very long time, don’t know how many years. I have not lost an ounce, but I am pretty close to an ideal weight. I just use it to keep down seizures.
I thought the same thing: panicky because I lost weight so fast! I started South Beach’s low glycemic diet (even starting at stage 2 instead of stage 1) and the weight just fell off! We were out-of-town for 2 months, so I did not have clothes available as I went from Size 14 slacks to Size 10! Even went down to Size 8 by the end, but now in Size 10 and have stayed right there 👍......less bread and carbs and just eat more Vegs than meat.
Thank you SO MUCH for this information. I am finally having succes with this 5 to 1 rule after a decade of struggling. The weight is melting off. I have shared it with so many others too. God bless 🙏 you!
1 reason so many people give their kids cheerios goes back probably about 50 yrs or so. the thing that made them popular for parents to give small children was docs suggesting them because of the hole in the middle preventing a small child getting their windpipe covered/preventing choking, because if they accidently swallowed it whole, the hole in the middle still made it possible for the child to breathe. nowadays, you will often find other snacks made for small children (in the baby/toddler section) made in the same shape as cheerios for this reason.
this is absolutely wild.... I checked the label of my favorite brown rice product and got a value of 19! I'm not so interested in weight loss as I am about fibre intake...definitely an eye opener!
I've never heard of taking the manufacturers posted number of Carbs, dividing by the number of dietary fiber. I have only heard that I take the Total Carbs, MINUS the dietary fiber, and that is the actual carbs that you are eating in the amount of food the manufacturer states is "a serving." The dividing the carbs by the fiber number has one still eating a boat load of carbs. BUT...I really enjoy these two guys shows. They have some great information they hand out, and in an enjoyable manner. Thanks to you both, Bob & Brad.
I've lost several pounds the past few weeks. I've adjusted my diet a little bit, mainly trying to cut down on carbs and sugar. I mostly have cut out sugary drinks. No sodas, or energy drinks, no juice unless it's low sugar. It's worked quite well!
A neat trick for juices. Grape juice, as a prime example, has lots of really healthy polyphenols, but it has *way* too many calories. What you can do is mix about 3 parts unsweetened tea, 2 parts jaimaica, and 1 part grape juice, and you benefit from the polyphenols while not o-d'ing on the sugar. Think of fruit juice as a "natural sweetener" rather than a "drink".
Cheerios leave me hungrier than before 9I started my breakfast. I’m also more likely ,to suffer an attack of low blood sugar. So, I eat oatmeal almost every day.
Had no idea about cheerios and inflammation. Makes since due to being processed. I stopped eating it about a year ago but it was in an attempt to reduce carbs.
Learn your body. A diet may work for one person and doesn't work for the other. I was told no carbs and starches and struggled to lose. Then lost over 70lbs eating a moderate amount of carbs and cardio including potatoes and rice. I ate e meals a day but only 1- starches. If I had oatmeal in the morning that was my starch for the day. Substitutions also help a lot. I lifted weights 3 times a week to help shape and strengthen my body. I stopped weighing myself and just focused on my health and fitness. I'm still plump but I feel 10x better. It's a journey for some of us.
I love these guys! I’ve learned so much from watching them these last few years! I even have my wife watching their videos and she loves them too! 👍🏾🤩👍🏾
There are low carb potatoes, at least in Australia. It depends on the type of potato. There are many varieties and the Kestrel is one of the lower carb ones. I'm a diabetic and the standard potato in any form shoots my glucose up but with the low carb ones if I have a dinner of meat, green veg and potato I have to watch that my glucose doesn't end up too low.
I snack on popcorn often. Snappy Pop white (amazon) is the BEST! I season with no-sodium Mural of Flavor (Penzey's) and Nutritional yeast. Sometimes, I add a bit of Cayenne. It is a great snack.
It's been my experience that low-carb is a slippery slope, it works great as a quick fix and for folks that are in good shape and exercise regularly. But if you have to lose more than 25lbs then you need a lifestyle change. I use myfitnesspal app and count my calories. What's most effective about this is logging every meal and understanding your food intake which will get you away from eating really fattening foods. I get 1800 calories a day which allows me to lose 2lbs a week, it's slow and steady and you can keep it off because with proper planning in place you can eat a lot of food. I've lost 75lbs doing this and have kept it off. Thanks for the video I can see where it helps people who don't understand nutrition and never had a weight problem but suddenly as they get older they gain weight as their metabolism slows down and need some help.
@@bonnielagrone Well if you can get on a recumbent bike, pickup some dumbbells or take a walk and burn some calories you get more than 1300. There's no magic bullet. Get all the junk food out of the house.
Eating fat does not make you fat (with the exception of vegetable oils which are highly processed). Calories are not the enemy. Sugar, wheat, corn and soy are the enemies. You need to watch Dr Berg on RUclips. I would pretty much guarantee you are always hungry if you're avoiding fat and eating low calorie which is not sustainable.
Weight loss and diet are interesting subjects. I was obese in Jan and have been for many years. 230-240 pounds average build. 6’-1”.. Turned 47 and man I had lost muscle and was fat. I began logging my food in an app and being mindful of what I ate, concentrating in whole foods with the majority being fruit and vegetables. I have dropped 35 pounds but am still overweight.
Keep it up Shane! It can be a journey but it's worth it. What these guys said about losing weight at the table and not the gym is right on (though the gym helped me burn off a bit of the extra!).
I'm 6' and 205 with a very unathletic build. So I guess I'm also overweight. I used to be 165 and much more fit! 😭😅 I've been back in the gym the last few weeks but I haven't lost anything yet.
You didn't put the weight on in a few months; it will take time to shed. This approach is gold. I eat burgers on 5:1 english muffins, egg salad, frozen berries, bacon and eggs almost every day, drink ice tea with monk fruit sweetener, occasional salads...and a few tablespoons of peanut butter each day. I'm losing about a pound a week. More importantly, my blood work is much better. Just keep the carbs below 100-125 daily and good things happen.
I absolutely loved this video! I would love more of what to eat (good examples) and meal ideas! My daughter is getting married at the end of May and I would LOVE to lose some weight! This was great info! Thank you!
Dr. Greger is the best on the planet at explaining health vs. foods. His channel is the best, These 2 studs are the best at helping with pain as well:)

Well done, I hope to do this as well, carbs are so bad for me.
@@wendyhannan2454 Processed carbohydrates and added sugars are both bad for you. Unarguably. Unprocessed carbohydrates are great for you though. Vegetables. Fruits. Whole grains. Legumes. All correlated with slimmer waists and healthier lives
I am a 69 year old female. I am very arthritic. I walk a lot and was touching my toes after my walk to stretch my muscles. I watched your video saying not to do this. AMAZING! I was finding my lower back hurt so bad a night I could hardly roll over and it was so bad in the morning I would have to get up to relieve the pain. I stopped touching my toes and have had no more issues since. Thank you SO much for your advice.
Me too!!
what do you do instead
@@girlkhan1250 look for their video on not touching your toes to stretch your hamstrings.
I lost around 40lbs after going into the hospital in October 2020, I had extremely high blood pressure and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. So I basically cut out grains and sugar, and if I did eat some it was all about portion control. By about the end of February 2021 I lost 40lbs. My weight has basically stabilized since then. I went to put on a coat a couple of weeks ago when the weather turned cold, and all my coats fit me like tents -- I had to go buy a new coat for this winter. Anyhow Bob and Brad are right about what they are saying here. BTW my last 2 diabetes doctor's visits my blood sugar is back in the normal range.
Congrats man! Glad to hear you are doing well. I hope you continue on your positive health journey
You need to get your HA1C level. Above 5.5 and you can still be pre-diabetic.
@@andredarin8966 I have been to my diabetes Dr twice now and they tested my A1C and he told me that I'm at the normal range (not even pre-diabetic now). I go back for my 3rd appointment in February.
I ran into the same thing about 3 years ago. I went down about 60 pounds with just the same.
I lost about 70 lbs by cutting out grains and sugar.
I moved from a psych/theatre major to a physical therapist/theatre major at university. I also became extremely apathetic during COVID & gained an ungodly amount of weight. I love Bob & Brad!!! They keep me sane & now, in check. ❤️❤️❤️
So I tried this. Today is the last day of the 5th week. I went from 181 Lbs to 170.6 Lbs. YEA! I never really paid attention to the carbs content before. Your video was revealing. I exercised routinely but could not drop weight. I was like what the heck? Why am I not loosing weight? So the reality of carb reduction does work. Also, along with that I exercise moderately. Stretching, a little dumbbell workout, and I average about 4 miles per day walking and a little jogging too. I am 61 year old Male. So hopefully this will encourage someone to do it.
So sad, bread and butter is my favorite fast snack😥
@@lonnettedouglas5688 there are many keto bread recipes on line and many stores are now carrying Keto bread. I do recommend you reading ingredient labels to make sure they are truly keto. A lot of products are calling themselves keto but are not and of course butter is always okay! Good luck
@Gary Duckworth, thanks for your feedback on the 5-to-1 rule and CONGRATULATIONS on the lost weight!!!
@@anng.4542 Thank you.
Gary, did you eat until full while just limiting carbs?
I love you guys. Since lockdown started (in Scotland) so far you've managed to help me to: identify then fix the pinched nerve in my shoulder; sort my posture which has got rid of other back pain I was experiencing for years; you've encouraged me to enjoy exercising regularly and now there's this really sound nutritional advice which will help me, my husband and kids. Also, as a result of all this I'm even sleeping better (chronic insomniac the whole of my life). You also cheer me up, whatever else is going on. Congrats on your weight loss and thank you ever so much for the work you do.
Which video addressed the pinched nerve in your shoulder. Mine hurt like the dickens!

I forgot why I started watching. these two are fun. reminds me of the Car Talk brothers.
Yeah, now that you mention it! LOL
Loved car talk guys!
When I started watching them when they were a new channel I made the same comment. 😂 They are the Car Talk of back pain.
@@coffeeandasewingmachine I'm sure they're making more money with their own channel than they'd ever make with NPR. Not worth the hassle, the loss of creative freedom, the politics, or the pay cut.
Reminds me of Rocky and Bullwinkle!!!!!!
I love these guys!!!! They make “square” so attractive and accessible. Love these guys…
Started this program in March and as of today I’ve lost 27 pounds. My lab work is better, also. Typically I keep carbs below 100 grams and fiber above 30 grams. No more white bread, very little pasta, and a drastic reduction in any sugared beverage. I also primarily use Truvia for my ice tea and have eggs and bacon at least five times a week. No cholesterol problems and improving HA1C.
Amazing.
Yes!!! I did the same but because I joined a weight loss group at work & had heard so much info about cutting carbs + I also KNEW I had to cut sugars 🙄 😬 cuz I have a HUGE sweet tooth 🤦🏻♀️ & OMG 😱🤯🤯 it worked!!!!
My 1st 5lbs that I lost, I don't think counted cuz I had a molar extracted & that kept me from eating comfortably but I kept up with lowering my carbs, increasing fiber + protein and lost and additional 10lbs!!! My starting weight was 200lbs and the last time I weighed myself, I was at 186 🙌❤️... I started late Feb2022 & that last weigh in was April 3, 2022 & the only "exercise" I did was "fast walking" that I did at my custodial job 😅
You guys helped me recover from my stroke. I did your videotaped exercises in addition to my physical therapy visits.
Both of you look great! Congrats on your weight loss!
That takes discipline! Thanks for sharing! I am glad you have restored joy of movement!
k8eekatt Thanks!
@@k8eekatt Joy of movement.....I like that phrase!
Well done D Young! I agree that these guys are wonderful...
And they are so fun!
Watching this video made me so so happy! I am a student physical therapist who lost about 30 pounds when I switched to eating mostly plant based. Currently, I am working with a fellow Occupational Therapy student in Tulsa, OK. We teaching classes that we have created about plant based eating to people with physical disabilities. They have loved it so far and it has really opened a conversation about why it's so easy to eat unhealthy.
Thank you for spreading the word! I'm a big fan!
Love your fun and factual videos! Fan for life!
I ate mostly plant based- following Greger's advice a lot- for 18 months and my blood glucose rose nearly into the prediabetic range. I wasn't trying to lose weight but gained fat according to professional body fat measure.My usual serving of chickpeas too me almost into the diabetic range. Had to back off and reintroduce animal foods. Much. harder than losing 40 lbs. years ago by eating sweets, seconds, and snacks on weekends only.
Banza pasta is made from chickpeas and I did the math on their rotini and it came out to 4. It’s available at Walmart. It has a different texture than traditional pasta but not as labor intensive as zoodles.
I tried the Banza pizza and it was great !!! Frozen pizza
Thank you! Two GF pastas in my cabinet were at 22!

Amazing! My husband and I just started this, and between us we lost ten lbs last month!!! It may not seem like a big deal to some, but to us it is tremendous! This is the first nutrition program that he has ever followed, or felt it made sense. This is important as HE insists upon doing the coking,-and it's so much easier when you're both on the same food plan. I notice the grocery stores are stocking foods they didn't have six months ago, with high fiber, low carbs and the nutrition information plainly visible. After a week or two of mathematical ups and lows it becomes second nature. I just want to thank you two, we're onto something here!
Oh my goodness!! I just checked my favorite organic whole grain rice cakes, figuring they must have an ideal 5:1 ratio. ACK!! 1 cake is only 70 calories BUT the total carbs are 16g and fiber 1g, so that means a score of 16?!? No-o-o-o-o!!! Thank you for this information, Bob & Brad!
Even brown rice-usually considered to be healthier-has a very poor ratio. Pretty much the 16/1 that you note.
Oh, my. Thanks for this valuable information. I’ve been eating rice cakes due to gluten sensitivity.
Why do I love watching these guys? They’re great
You guys are better than Frick and Frack… And I think I’m doing a lot better at fixing my body than I ever was fixing my car! Keep on keeping on… Watching you both as like receiving a pot of gold daily! And you’re both hilarious together too! I highly recommend this kind of physical therapy… If you’re not getting up and doing what they tell you to do, you are laughing so hard you’re creating an ab workout!
That's it, I was thinking of the car guys!!!
This makes sense to me. It also shows where/why I've been struggling. Carbs divided by fiber, how simple. I'm going to try this. Thank you for the information.
I thought you subtracted the fiber from the carbohydrates to get the number of net carbs.
@@Europa1749 That is correct. That is how Keto does it.
Popcorn with salt and butter is great. I had it for dinner every day for 3 weeks (depressed, and it was all I wanted) and lost 10 pounds, eating normally for other meals. Although when I think about, 3 weeks away from a hostile workplace helped too!
@ Chicken Tender. Thank you for that addition at the end. Stress, whether from workplace or other multiple sources in the last year and a half, is my biggest hurdle.
@@ljones98391 It's really diificult dealing with stress, especially from workplace jerks. I compensated by gaining over 30 pounds. Lost some but still have to watch myself. Now I just think those people mean less than nothing to me and enough practice with that means I forget about them after a little while. Hope you find a way to take good care of yourself.
Poor Chicken Tender- good luck kido!
watch the salt though
I went through a huge popcorn phase with the extra butter and everything, not a good diet choice for me, if I had to mush other stuff by the end of the day
Bob and Brad my favorite medical support folks on the internet (-:
Staying away from 80 to 90 percent of packaged and processed foods has helped me the most. Most packaged foods contain too much sugar and too much salt. Getting reduced or even no salt products also really great.
We all need to remember that our bodies are so different. My endocrinologist had me match 1 gram complex carb to one gram protein in order to reduce my hypoglycemic crashes. I also lost 70 pounds.
Correct but your goal was to manage your hypoglycemic episodes, sounds like.
For people not experiencing those, they could certainly cut down on all the junky carbs of which there are plenty in our diets, in general.
I, too, get rebound postprandial hypoglycemia if, say, I have only a bagel for breakfast - I pay for it three hours later! Now a bagel with some eggs ( protein ) - fine.
So it does depend on our goals AND current health issues !
I’m betting most people are just simply looking to lose excess weight.
Most are not going to endocrinologists. Wishing you good health!
Can you give an example of 1 to 1 when looking at a nutrition label? My main issue is hypoglycemia also
@@B3l0v3d05 Hi, I pretty much don't buy any processed foods anymore. It was a huge change. So, I have to weigh my serving of complex carb and read the chart to know the grams so that I can equal it out to my protein grams. My food scale has become my best friend in the kitchen. However, if I was looking at a label on yogurt for instance: my Chobani says 11 g protein and 16 g carbs. It is almost 1:1 so it is a safe choice for me. If it was 3:1 then I am setting my self up for a spike then a crash.
Great explanation and user friendly of the 5 to 1 Rule. Keep the information and knowledge coming in this complex and frustrating area of losing weight.
During this covid time I started baking breads, OMG! They were so good! I put on almost 20 lbs. I went to my dr. And he said loose 10 lbs. in 3 months I lost 15lbs, by cutting back on carbs!
One the easiest definition to check labelling; you both look and are wonderful!
5 to 1 -- total grams of carbs divided by total grams of fiber should equal 5 or less. Otherwise too many carbs (simple carbs).
So it is grams, I wanted to check that😊
Bob, you and Brad have "been there" as I journey through diagnosis of polyarthritis, decreasing ROM and increasing pain. Wish you could know what a bright spot your videos have been and so helpful to educating myself, even while working with my amazingly wonderful PTs. Saying big prayers for you!
I have said it before but it bears repeating. My nephew Fully-credentialed physical therapist recommended you guys when the PT’s “helping” me post-pelvic fracture were lousy. You explained things, motivated me and I recovered full mobility very soon! PS I am just telling the truth here, not meaning to cast aspersions on any of the fine PT’s out there!
Me too
Mine too. He showed quickly how to do stretches one time then after that it was just heat and massage then off to the next patient. He got paid how much for that?!
You can't help but love Bob and Brad. I hope they leave their channel up after they retire. I have referred back to them for many things over the years as issues arise. Their advice on torn rotator cuffs and exercises saved me from surgery and I healed up beautifully.
Has anyone asked yet?? I have always LOVED the 'Bob And Brad' Theme Song! Who in the world composed the song? Who is singing? It really grows on you.......

There's a new brand - BANZA pasta that has no wheat or grain at all, they use ONE ingredient! Chickpeas! 3 times the fiber, twice the protien of normal pasta! Amazing stuff... look it up.
Yes! BANZA chickpea pasta! I'm so glad you mentioned this brand of chickpea pasta. I cook it a little longer than what the box says.
It's gluten free, but don't let that scare you. Yummy! Lots of protein and fiber!! You'll be satiated for hours!
Now, I've got to look for more recipes using it because I've only mastered Spaghetti Bolognese.
One caution. Folks with IBS type issues or that need low FODMAP need to be careful with chickpeas. Recommend doing the slow introduction test to check whether chickpeas affect their symptoms.
Ok! Cool! Didn't know, ima find some!
@@techshabby0001 if you eat beans a little every day, like a teaspoon at first n slowly increase, then the gut microbiome can adapt and they never bother you. If you slam down a bunch all at once, then gas. It will be painful only if you were backed up with low fiber already. It's not healthy to eat the diet that never causes a good fart now n then.
Lentil pasta is also very good. Most popcorn uses gmo corn...ugh! Nothing wrong with using a small amt of butter or ghee if source is 100% grass-fed. Cheerios comes from grains that are tainted with glyphosphates which is an active ingredient in Roundup.
I came to your channel for ankle strengthening. I stayed for the two most famous physical therapists on the internet! 💪🤙👏👏👏👏
Oh ugh, math. My husband stopped eating anything between meals and almost all bread.. His dessert is two Oreo cookies. He got up from the computer and worked in the yard every day. Lost 51 pounds in 10 months. Easy.
Men have it easier. They can stop eating bread or between meal snacks and lose weight. If I do that I lose five.
Congrats to your hubby😌😌
And all of this happened in WY?
,@@richsamuel2922 We moved to Wyoming a year ago from stressful, desk bound jobs in Washington, DC. We found a tiny town and fell in love with the people and the culture there. Not many fat people in Wyoming. Red state. We're trying to fit in. :)
How would you define the word “fascist”? I wonder because I find that most people can’t define it. I can’t define it off hand and I’m an English major and student of history. It’s like Left- wing and Right-wing. What does that mean exactly? All I know is that I’m a college graduate. Writer, TV producer, now actor. My husband has a Ph.d in political science from the University of Colorado and a Master’s in public administration from Harvard. Our neighbor next door works in construction. His son is in medical school. Another neighbor runs the town waste facility. His wife is an aide at the assisted living center. Our town has millionaires and truck drivers, nurses and wait staff. Good people. Friendly people. And what I have found is that people look very different when you accept them as individuals instead of just applying a label and moving on.
I cut way down on the carbs too and always try to have fruit (usually berries) with breakfast and a vegetable or a salad with lunch and dinner and I lost 50 lbs. It took YEARS for me to figure this out - that it's all about the carbs (for me anyway) to just reduce them and the weight comes off. And add more fiber, like they said. I had also adopted a little shelter dog and so the walking of the dog every day added to the weight loss too.
That is great adopting a shelter dog and both of u supporting each other along. A home means so much to our dogs and cats. They give and need love too, being part of a household or family. 🙂🙂🙂
Totally true. I'm down 55 pounds in 14 months, and still losing weight slowly. I cut out non-fruit carbs almost entirely and I eat only two meals a day with no snacks except fruit (OK, sometimes a Kind nut bar....). I don't count calories or carb grams because that's too neurotic for me. I just avoid all white foods and sugar -- bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, cereal, pastries, desserts, candy, and sweetened drinks except for honey in my morning coffee. I eat tons of meat, eggs, whole fat dairy, fresh fruit, greens, vegetables and nuts. I also walk 2-3 hours most days. And yeah, my blood chemistry is back to teenager status. It's changed my life.
Love watching you guys! Your easy-going, upbeat friendship is a pleasure to see-and you provide some very interesting/helpful information to boot! Thanks :-)
Every time I’ve had an issue with pain - sciatica, hips, shoulder, neck, rotator cuff…(I’m 60 still working full time and raising my granddaughter, have horses, so injuries happen on the regular at this point) I come to Brad & Bobs You Tube channel and whatever they teach to correct the issue works. So far 100% of the time. So I will take their solid advice and get my 20 extra covid pounds off!! Thank you guys!! I tell everyone I know about your channel. Your channel is a huge blessing for me and keeps me going strong every day.
Makes a lot of sense. I’ve found when I have a diet focused on fiber intake I feel better and lose weight, though never thought about using this 5:1 ratio as a benchmark for making good choices.
I can't thank you guys enough for this video. I've never heard of the 5:1 rule until now. I'm basically a flexitarian but have really done badly with the carbs and sweets since the pandemic. I gained weight and want to get it together for my health and weight. Btw, it's numerator over denominator. 😃
Because it is not a rule. Just a sneaky intro to the low carb diet.
Eat foods above 5:1, and add fiber to them.
@@stargazer2042 Um, that's not low carb in the usual sense. Low carb usually means you take carbs, ignore the ratio, and replace them with unhealthy things like excess meats and oils.
I too gained weight over these past 2 years. I’m cutting out sugar, bread, juices, cakes, bagels. It sure is hard to lose weight though. Bob and Brad really helped me with physio so I’m back to light weight training and walking again.. I’m wondering if it’s my age that’s making losing weight difficult
@@AP-nx6xo Check out the anti-aging interviews at Modern Healthspan and then check out the video "How not to diet" by Michael Greger. If you just want the top few tips, 1) Get high intensity exercise as often as you can, 2) Eat as many low-calorie, high nutrition foods as you can (the best source of nutrition is plants), 3) For the high calorie foods you do eat, move them earlier in the day. 4) If you do cheat, have plans in place before-hand to turn a large cheat into a small cheat. 5) Maintain your mental health and optimism. Costs don't matter if you are not able to carry self-pride and optimism.
The two sources at the top will help you find ways to increase your metabolism (although HIIT is a big one) so you can focus more on nutrients and less on calories, but until you get that stuff in place you have to focus on both.
For 2) the first step is to get rid of liquid calories and for 1) note that a gym class will help you push yourself beyond previous limits. I have made far more progress with Zumba than I ever would have coming in and visiting the machines for a few minutes until I got bored.
@@jefflittle8913 thanks 👍🏻
This is all very interesting but I believe that for most people the big factor in weight loss is Portion Control!
I’m going to try this! I injured my rotator cuff badly, and followed the videos you guys posted on it, particularly the sleeping position and it healed without surgery! Thank you so much!
Love you guys! You are so helpful! Dr Greger is amazing and plant based eating is the way to go! Can you talk more about what you have been eating on the plant based diet?

Ok so you talk about all the things you shouldn’t eat, so what DO you eat? You say you’re not hungry, you feel full. What are you eating every day that replaces the bread, toast, waffles, French Toast, pancakes and those types of yummy breakfast foods as well as other meals?? Thank you!
Hi guys! I recently got plunged into the fitness trainer postion at my gym. Most of our memembers our above 55. Your videos have been so helpful. Thanks so much!
As they say.... You can't exercise your way out of a bad diet!
Three reps of broccoli go! ✊🥳
Runners say “You can’t outrun your fork!”
As they say, ‘abs are made in the kitchen’. There’s a reason that bodybuilders in the Cutting Phase eat ‘chicken and broccoli’…
When I was 24, I literally was able to exercise my way out of a bad diet LITERALLY. I was 5-9 215 and in the summer all I did was play basketball outside at the YMCA after work. I ate McDonalds literally several times a day as I was addicted to those $1 double cheeseburgers, fries and the sweet tea. Playing basketball for like 3 hours 4-5 days a week helped me lose 30 pounds in a month and a half (185 pounds), I worked all of my muscles literally just playing ball and sweating my ass off. I cannot do that now though for sure 🤣🤣🤣.
I learned this the hard way.
you guys do sound like the Car Talk Brothers! I like the way you guys give pointers...I am going to do it too!
I loved Car Talk. Their laughter was contagious. I retired a few years ago so I can't listen to them on my way home anymore.
One of them, Tom Magliozzi, died in 2014. The NPR episodes are re-runs.
Thanks guys, for always being the reasonable and sensible people you are. Understanding a plant based diet is a healthy option even if it’s a few days a week. And cutting out carbs, without going Paleo 🙃 is so great!
I’m a Registered Dietitian and I tell my patients to go on a low STARCH, low SUGAR diet. Just like you are saying. I also tell them to measure their portions. Use those calculations on 1/2 cup servings.
Yes! The only thing I measure is the 'carb' foods, like grains and corn. I use a measuring scoop from the dollar store. Never eat more than a cup...that's 2 servings. i don't count carbs from non-starchy veggies.
Thanks for the advice!🙂
Ann, yes! 1/2 cup portions. I lost 30 lbs.
I used those little 1/2 cup pyrex bowls and put in nuts, veggies, yogurt, meats, fruit. Ate one bowl an hour, it's really hard to do at first, for me at least.
And moved.
Portion control is half the battle. No fake food the other.
Terrible advice should be ZERO. Low is relative
@@joyfaith1711
How many people are going to cut ALL starch and sugar? Especially cold-turkey?
Don’t let the perfect get in the way of the good. And, while “low” is relative, there’s nothing that says low can’t be defined by the dietician. (It should be.)
In order to get your ratios correct you need to make sure that the data has the same terms (I.e. milligrams, grams), to make adequate comparisons. Don’t forget to do this.
Convert for accuracy.
During this pandemic I've totally curbed my appetite. I only eat when I'm hungry. I've lost about 20lbs.
They're caring, helpful, thoughtful, sincere AND funny on occasion. What else could you want?
Thanks for the hip flexor tip, guys! My hip had been hurting me for a couple of months and my chiro always adjusted my low back, a problem area but not my hip problem.
Again, thanks❣👌😊

This 5 to 1 weight loss rule makes sense. I'm going to apply that to my eating habits. Thanks for sharing.
I've lost 70 pounds in 1 year on Keto by 'Zeroing' out my carbs. I also lowered my waist size by 4 inches. Also, my Rosacea is nearly gone. Plus...I was on high blood pressure meds which I have now been able to stop taking and maintain a normal blood pressure. Keto shouldn't be viewed as a 'diet' per se. Maintaining Ketosis is a metabolic process. When the body does not have enough glucose for energy, it starts burning stored fats instead. Don't be afraid of trying Keto. Carbs, sugar, vegetable and seed oils, and fructose are poisons to the body. Don't eat anything that says low fat either.
iv been on it for a month i really like it but it isn't great for me as I suffer from psoriasis
I'm glad you found the secret! As a 55 year old woman, I finally fixed my metabolism using Keto!! And you're right, the pounds came off eating delicious food. (My husband lost 20 lbs of 2 months low carbs 25 years ago but I couldn't get on board because my mental block was saying "I Can't Eat All That Food-- it Can't Work For Me"... but now, years later I realize the secret is in the Number of Carbs! I don't have to starve! Keto has changed my life, healed my pre-diabetes , healed my fibromyalgia, healed my depression. I look and feel my young self again! I lost weight eating my fav foods. I now eat ice cream (stevia sweetened, home made) and I eat strawberry shortcake (again, stevia sweetened) and sugar free whipped cream.
Man, your arteries must be clogged to death.
This is great! I just discovered you two and I'm so glad I did. I just wanted to "approve this message." I also follow Dr. Greger amongst other reliable doctors (both MD and PhD) dieticians in the plant-based community. A whole-food plant-based diet is so healthy and checks all the boxes for preventing the chronic diseases that plague the developed world. Also helps you stay full and lose weight. Now on to more of your P.T. videos. Thanks Bob & Brad!
Awesome thank you
I like them too but I like dr Jason fung and Eric Berg too
I’ve been doing keto for a very long time, don’t know how many years. I have not lost an ounce, but I am pretty close to an ideal weight. I just use it to keep down seizures.
Sorry, you don't need to lose weight. You're at a healthy weight unless your photos are photo shopped:) Seriously you look great...
Thank you!!! I so needed this today! Been stuck on the last 10 lbs I need to lose and I couldn’t figure out why. Can’t wait to try this method!!!
@@K_ballet hi K Ballot
Watching your vids gives me my sanity back. I thank you gentlemen ☮️❤️😎
I thought the same thing: panicky because I lost weight so fast! I started South Beach’s low glycemic diet (even starting at stage 2 instead of stage 1) and the weight just fell off! We were out-of-town for 2 months, so I did not have clothes available as I went from Size 14 slacks to Size 10! Even went down to Size 8 by the end, but now in Size 10 and have stayed right there 👍......less bread and carbs and just eat more Vegs than meat.
Fantastic!
Thank you SO MUCH for this information. I am finally having succes with this 5 to 1 rule after a decade of struggling. The weight is melting off. I have shared it with so many others too. God bless 🙏 you!
1 reason so many people give their kids cheerios goes back probably about 50 yrs or so. the thing that made them popular for parents to give small children was docs suggesting them because of the hole in the middle preventing a small child getting their windpipe covered/preventing choking, because if they accidently swallowed it whole, the hole in the middle still made it possible for the child to breathe. nowadays, you will often find other snacks made for small children (in the baby/toddler section) made in the same shape as cheerios for this reason.
Wow! Checking out the food in my house and the ratio is crazy off. Thanks for this, it's enlightening! I appreciate the simplification.
That chart was too complex. Here's my simple rule:

this is absolutely wild.... I checked the label of my favorite brown rice product and got a value of 19! I'm not so interested in weight loss as I am about fibre intake...definitely an eye opener!
I've never heard of taking the manufacturers posted number of Carbs, dividing by the number of dietary fiber. I have only heard that I take the Total Carbs, MINUS the dietary fiber, and that is the actual carbs that you are eating in the amount of food the manufacturer states is "a serving." The dividing the carbs by the fiber number has one still eating a boat load of carbs. BUT...I really enjoy these two guys shows. They have some great information they hand out, and in an enjoyable manner. Thanks to you both, Bob & Brad.
thats what I was thinking too. I am so confused now lol
I've lost several pounds the past few weeks.
I've adjusted my diet a little bit, mainly trying to cut down on carbs and sugar.
I mostly have cut out sugary drinks. No sodas, or energy drinks, no juice unless it's low sugar.
It's worked quite well!
A neat trick for juices. Grape juice, as a prime example, has lots of really healthy polyphenols, but it has *way* too many calories. What you can do is mix about 3 parts unsweetened tea, 2 parts jaimaica, and 1 part grape juice, and you benefit from the polyphenols while not o-d'ing on the sugar. Think of fruit juice as a "natural sweetener" rather than a "drink".
@@jefflittle8913 Yes, I've learned that little trick, it works quite well. Many juices are so sugary it's ridiculous.
This was adorable, informative and actually very funny!!!!! Love you guys. You inspire me to do better by making it achievable.
Actually Cheerios can cause inflammation in the joints. It highly processed with not-so-good ingredients
Cheerios leave me hungrier than before 9I started my breakfast. I’m also more likely ,to suffer an attack of low blood sugar. So, I eat oatmeal almost every day.
Had no idea about cheerios and inflammation. Makes since due to being processed. I stopped eating it about a year ago but it was in an attempt to reduce carbs.
Aren’t they the highest pesticide content in packaged food?
Learn your body. A diet may work for one person and doesn't work for the other. I was told no carbs and starches and struggled to lose. Then lost over 70lbs eating a moderate amount of carbs and cardio including potatoes and rice. I ate e meals a day but only 1- starches. If I had oatmeal in the morning that was my starch for the day. Substitutions also help a lot. I lifted weights 3 times a week to help shape and strengthen my body. I stopped weighing myself and just focused on my health and fitness. I'm still plump but I feel 10x better. It's a journey for some of us.
I love these guys! I’ve learned so much from watching them these last few years! I even have my wife watching their videos and she loves them too! 👍🏾🤩👍🏾
wow, this had over a million views; I think you may be the two most famous physical therapists on the internet after all!
There are low carb potatoes, at least in Australia. It depends on the type of potato. There are many varieties and the Kestrel is one of the lower carb ones. I'm a diabetic and the standard potato in any form shoots my glucose up but with the low carb ones if I have a dinner of meat, green veg and potato I have to watch that my glucose doesn't end up too low.
Intermittent fasting for a few months worked for me. I also eat less and feel more full.
Do you need to watch carbs when doing IF?
I snack on popcorn often. Snappy Pop white (amazon) is the BEST! I season with no-sodium Mural of Flavor (Penzey's) and Nutritional yeast. Sometimes, I add a bit of Cayenne. It is a great snack.
How do you pop it?
Always great advise, delivered in such a fun and realistic way, especially for those stubborn pounds that don’t want to leave!!! Thanks gentlemen!!
I showed my back doctor what I was watching on you tube your videos and she said her husband watches you too. Love your videos.
It's been my experience that low-carb is a slippery slope, it works great as a quick fix and for folks that are in good shape and exercise regularly. But if you have to lose more than 25lbs then you need a lifestyle change. I use myfitnesspal app and count my calories. What's most effective about this is logging every meal and understanding your food intake which will get you away from eating really fattening foods. I get 1800 calories a day which allows me to lose 2lbs a week, it's slow and steady and you can keep it off because with proper planning in place you can eat a lot of food. I've lost 75lbs doing this and have kept it off. Thanks for the video I can see where it helps people who don't understand nutrition and never had a weight problem but suddenly as they get older they gain weight as their metabolism slows down and need some help.
I agree with you . Im on a 1725 cal a day plan
awesome!!!
i use MFP. i only get 1300 calories. its not enough so i keep messing up.
@@bonnielagrone Well if you can get on a recumbent bike, pickup some dumbbells or take a walk and burn some calories you get more than 1300. There's no magic bullet. Get all the junk food out of the house.
Eating fat does not make you fat (with the exception of vegetable oils which are highly processed). Calories are not the enemy. Sugar, wheat, corn and soy are the enemies. You need to watch Dr Berg on RUclips. I would pretty much guarantee you are always hungry if you're avoiding fat and eating low calorie which is not sustainable.
I respected you both before, and now I respect you even more if it is possible! Great video!
Weight loss and diet are interesting subjects. I was obese in Jan and have been for many years. 230-240 pounds average build. 6’-1”.. Turned 47 and man I had lost muscle and was fat.
I began logging my food in an app and being mindful of what I ate, concentrating in whole foods with the majority being fruit and vegetables. I have dropped 35 pounds but am still overweight.
That's awesome Shane! Keep up the good work, stories like yours are really inspirational.
Keep it up Shane! It can be a journey but it's worth it. What these guys said about losing weight at the table and not the gym is right on (though the gym helped me burn off a bit of the extra!).
I'm 6' and 205 with a very unathletic build. So I guess I'm also overweight. I used to be 165 and much more fit! 😭😅 I've been back in the gym the last few weeks but I haven't lost anything yet.
You didn't put the weight on in a few months; it will take time to shed. This approach is gold. I eat burgers on 5:1 english muffins, egg salad, frozen berries, bacon and eggs almost every day, drink ice tea with monk fruit sweetener, occasional salads...and a few tablespoons of peanut butter each day. I'm losing about a pound a week. More importantly, my blood work is much better. Just keep the carbs below 100-125 daily and good things happen.
You're 35 lbs less overweight than you were! Woot woot! That's amazing!
Love your video on plantar fasciitis. I’ve been doing the exercises and it’s so much better thank you
These guys remind me of click and clack the Tappet brothers. On Car talk radio. Haha they have great comedic chemistry.
I absolutely loved this video! I would love more of what to eat (good examples) and meal ideas! My daughter is getting married at the end of May and I would LOVE to lose some weight! This was great info! Thank you!
Hi 👋 dear, how are you doing?
Aldi has lentil and chickpea pasta. No wheat flour.
Both have too many carbs if you are trying to keep to 20 net carbs
Both would destroy me, too much fiber.
They taste like cardboard I’ve tried
@@AvsFan32 haha, so you eat less?
Beans and peas are definitely off the list if you’re trying to do low carb.
Portion size is the hidden gem too ... these guys are awesome!
RIGHT! One cup of pasta/cereal is TWO servings of carbs.
That is something much easier to work with. We're going to try that today when I go shopping. Thank you!!
