      With one pound of bacon or eggs you're going to get full faster and for longer than a few pounds of low calorie carbage like a potatoes that turns into sugar in your body. A calorie isn't a calorie. The government made people fat by demonizing the way we've eaten since before agriculture (meat and eggs) in favor of extremely processed and oxidized grains (7-11 servings was taught to us in the 90's), corn, and soybean oils. It was easier to justify the high amount of cheap anti-nutrient carbage in the food stamp programs. Don't trust the government funded school system to teach the truth. It's better to eat sugar-free low-carb smaller nutrient dense meals that will keep you full all day, and that's going to be complete proteins and fats from mainly animals.

    An interesting point I came across is that processed foods offer less resistance to chew and swallow, which makes them easier to consume in higher volumes.

    I've lost a bunch of weight and don't have a lot left until I reach my goal. My biggest observation during my journey has been how great veggies can really be. For a meal I measure up 200-300 calories worth of food and just add a ton of vegetables to fill the plate. It brings the meal to 350-400 calories and keeps me full for a long time. Seriously, guys. Eat salads, they're basically miracle food.

Then I discovered how to bulk up my meals with healthier meats and a ton more healthy veggies. And I'm learning how to make many of my sauces from scratch so I can control how much sugar is in the mix. Finding healthy substitutions is so important and, turns out, kinda fun.

      Hi Jessica, congratulations on your weight loss if that's what you wanted! Be careful, because not eating enough leads to a slower metabolism, which basically means that your body takes the habit to consume less calories in order to survive. It isn't a great thing when it comes to weight loss because the moment you'll eat "normally", your body will gain way easier. And it can definitely leads to ED as well. (I hope that makes sense, English isn't my mother tongue)
      I'm just saying this because of the "my breakfast and lunch are usually around 200 calories", when a woman has to eat between 1500 to 2200 calories a day in order to be healthy! I'm not saying that you're not healthy, or that you don't know about this but in case you actually didn't know about this I wanted to tell you.

    Watching this video made me realize I've been eating more than 5000 calories a day when my mom cooks food. I was raised in a household that was taught to never leave any food on the table which led to me eating every single food on the table before I finish the meal.
    Edit: I live in a place where there are no side dishes, only main dishes that is served with rice so definitely I'm going to fill myself with it. And some are saying 5000 calories are impossible for a day, well if you're in a Filipino/Spanish household that eats 4-5 times a day with savory and rich food, it is possible.
    Obv, I don't eat this much today. I am on a cal deficit and have lost about 25lbs since the start of 2023. If you're living in a Filipino home where you aren't in control of the 'ulam' being served, limit your portions!

      The bible makes it clear that God is holy. This holy God holds a perfect moral standard. Sadly, we have all fallen very short of that standard(Romans 3:23). The penalty for sin/imperfection is Hell(Revelation 21:8).
      Thankfully the bible also says that God is rich in mercy and grace. That is why He sent His perfect Son to die on a cross to save us from our sin. You and I broke God's law, but Jesus paid our fine. Then Jesus rose from the dead, 3 days later, thus defeating death! (John 3:16-18)
      "He that believeth in the Son hath everlasting life; and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.” John 3:36 "But God commendeth His love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

    The #1 thing is planned and structured diet, because the only way for your body to burn fat is to use it as energy. Basically, you need to eat below your energy maintenance level (in terms of calories) and your fat cells will be used to compensate the missing energy (calories). That's how your body works. There are other things to consider as well, such as hormonal status, diseases... but caloric deficit is a must. You have a lot of online diet planners and calculators like promusclegains, dietarizze, profmuscles... Losing/gaining weight is just a simple math, really...

I didn't understand what's happening as I normally make smart food choices and enjoy eating healthy. Then my doctor asked me to start counting my calories. It turned out, the US portions of food were the reason. I easily consumed 4000-5000 calories a day, even though I was eating healthy foods.

That way I get more of the flavor of the topping and it doesn't get diluted by being mixed in. I just have to be sure to dip lightly and not use too much with each bite.

      I too was stick skinny. I struggled to gain weight in my teens and 20’s until I had my 1 st child at 29. I was teased for having small wrists and waist.
      I now struggle to lose weight. As we get older our metabolism changes, what we once ate that did absolutely nothing to our fat cells now go straight to our waist and hips and stays there!!
      The key is to stay mindful of what you eat and how much your eating. Get plenty of protein daily and even carbs as our body needs carbs to fuel it. If you can’t gain weight simply wait a few years, time has a way of changing everything that was once NORMAL!

      Hi Junie! I noticed your comment while scrolling and wanted to ask if you only eat 700 calories a day? If that's the case I wanted to let you know that the usual calorie deficit we need to loose weight (which is different for everyone and can be calculated) for women usually is about 1200-1400 calories a day. But to make sure you can reach out to a medical professional or dietitian, because I am not.
      Eating under 1200 calories a day is bad for the body and will most likely cause no weight loss since the body thinks it's starving so it holds onto the fat.
      Do what works for you but please do it in a healthy way! (I'm just worried because I was unaware a couple of years ago too!)

    Something not mentioned in this video is how these foods will affect your hunger and your body. Carbs convert to sugar and cause your body to release insulin which will store it as fat and make it more difficult for your body to use that energy. you can end up eating a full meal but if a lot of it is carbs soon after it might feel like you barely ate at all. there was a study that tried to get prisoners to overeat either carbs or fat and protein on top of their normal diet. they ate around up to 7,000 extra calories in carbs but only 800 extra calories in protein and fat (I'm citing this from memory so forgive me if its a bit off) so please don't be afraid of fat! it will satiate you!!

    When I was losing weight the most meaningful change I made was changing some of the things I ate to the healthier variants.
    Butter changed to low fat non-hydrogenated margin, Milk to Almond milk etc. I still ate pretty much the same things, just went about it smarter, like making a BLT with turkey bacon.

      How come no one talks about soup? Like salad without those harmful dressings.

    I remember when I discovered that it was easier to consume a blended mix than to eat lots of calories to gain weight. I went mad and started blending everything that seemed ok to blend. After a week and a half I started badly craving chewable food it was a surreal experience for sure 😂

    One problem is prices. I live in Sweden and for example 200 kcal of pasta cost 1 cent whereas 200 kcal of zucchini cost 4,65 usd. Unhealthy food are so much more accessible which makes it harder especially when having a low budget.

    Appearently I can fill my stomach with tons of veggies and lean protein till I feel as if were about to explode any minute and still feel hunger pains. Fats are definitely helping me to eat far less volume and still feel satieted for hours. Also, if I decide to pack my meal with healthy fats, lean protein and non-starchy veggies only, I don‘t feel that hungry at least but not satieted either.
    eating a small sweet, less watery snack after a low-carb meal such as: a banana or a slice of fullgrain bread with marmelade, or two pieces of chocolate, etc. actually reduce my hunger pains a lot.

      Not vital for everyone, I have Anoxic and Hypoxic Brain Injuries that includes life long issues with balance, memories, difficulty form sentences (vocal communication), etc... but the main one of the many issues I deal with is digestive I cannot swallow food/drink/vitamins/pills normall nor can my digestive track properly break up these items (I am only able to eat 1 1/2-2 meals per day sometimes even less depending on what I eat that day).

    Since i was a teen the only stuff i have ever put on my salads are raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sometimes if there are enough tomatoes in the salad i just use the juices from them instead of the vinegar
