Wow, this video really spoke to me. I've lost 50 lbs in 5 months with a regimented eating plan, sleeping well, no exception and with NO exercise and ever since ive incorporated exercise back I am hungry ALL THE TIME and my weight has stalled for a month..!!!!..Im contemplating stopping, wow great video!!!
wow I run a gym and we always tell people diet is 80%+ of the equation but we have all also told people that every pound of muscle they gain burns and extra 100 ish calories a day. Have I been lying? I thought muscle was hungry and always consuming calories even while you sleep. EDIT: You're right. I'm finding lots of articles saying that the thing we've been telling people for years is just NOT true. Good grief.
I know this is truth.. too many times I have made excuses for unhealthy food after exercise.. and before I know it I do a 180 with my food choices. I love that there is no exercise in BLE.. I don't really enjoy it and have a disability that limits me. just healthy eating habbits.. makes sense!
Even if exercise doesn't contribute to substantial weight loss it will make you toned and more defined which will go a long way towards making you look trimmer . Diet alone will not give you a healthy glow and toned defined body so something to keep in mind before you write it off !!
If what you're doing works for you, then great! Susan doesn't say "never exercise" she advises that the science shows it is best to wait until you're accustomed to your food plan, and no longer trying to release weight.
Susan talked about using exercise to Justify eating more but the truth is you can use a lot of things to justify eating more like eating your grief , a busy schedule , peer pressure , holidays etc . I don't think exercise is the main culprit . You've got to stop making excuses and change your mind set !
@@celestialcircledance I've been following Bright Line Eating for almost three years, and kept 70 lbs off for two years. Susan DOES address the stressors that make us overeat. She never says to stop exercising forever, just during the weight loss phase. If we keep our lines bright for several months and develop automaticity with our meals, then we can incorporate exercise even if still losing.
This is so true. I used to be a gym bunny years ago. I may have been more toned but it was a daily battle because I was constantly thinking what can I get at? What can I eat ? I'm starving and I've been at the gym, I've burned it? So wrong. Now the truth. This is absolutely the truth.
This is 💯 true I’m a living proof. I would exercise for hours a day morning and evening and lost nothing. I lost a lot of weight by reducing calories and paying attention to my macros. I still exercise but very moderate every other day 30 to 40min an every other day. My lesson learned that exercise does not make you lose weight. Exercise helps with cardiovascular health, lean muscles and reduce stress but it won’t make you lose weight. I have done every known exercise it never worked.
You had me at Prince! Subbed. When I start viewing the cigarettes the same as meat and dairy, it is starting to make sense. It is definitely the constant bombardment of advertisements of fast food. I am starting to mute all ads.
it's true...fast metabolism causes me to eat crazy but now that I'm pregnant I realize exercise actually causes this. I ran track for 8years and I'm still a great size but now that I'm preparing to breastfeed I can't play the eat healthy one minute then eat unhealthy the next minute. Exercise profits little but it's your diet that makes the big difference. if we look at different cultures and their way of life and physique..they look good,lol but are they exercising crazy like us..nope,so this video is pretty cool to come across bc this has been on my mind for a few months now. And I want learn my body while I'm young bc I love food...
This is true. ive been going to curves for two months. I have not changed my eating habits. im just working out 4 times a week and I havent lost one pound.
What and how much you eat are a huge factor, Rhonda. That said, there definitely comes a point when we all need to add exercise back to our lifestyles for health and longevity.
This really helps !!! I love how you described 10 pounds of muscles 💪🏼 and how much more that would burn. 40 calories is not worth stopping my weight loss:)
Hi Susan. I started my bright lines 4 weeks ago after joining Bootcamp. I am disabled and 73 years old and I had tried dieting many times with differing results but, ultimately, went back to - or beyond my set point. Due to my lack of exercise - only 1000-2000 steps a day (on crutches), I was CERTAIN there would be too much food on the BLE plan for me to lose another ounce. But 4 weeks later and I've donated 4.5lbs to the Universe and I am grateful beyond words. It will take time but I already feel a little more healthy and have a little less fatigue. If anyone believes exercise is essential to weight loss - Read This!
Thank you for watching and for your comment, Bee. We're honored to support you in your journey and love to hear how you're succeeding in the Bright Line Eating Boot Camp. 💕
I know a girl who swears by exercise to lose weight. She's lost about 100 pounds, but it seems to have flattened out, she's still quite a big girl. She's eating healthier which is great. BUT I think the problem is she still does "cheat days" and eats sugar. She hates the idea of Bright Line Eating because she thinks she can't exercise (I told her she keep up her exercise since it's already become her habit for quite some time) but I think the real reason is she doesn't want to give up the sweets. I understand....I love sweets too, but SO glad I gave up sugar and flour. I do BLE and I've fallen off the wagon twice. But I've re-zoomed and the maintenance phase is only 6 pounds away. It works for me.
I go to the gym to build endurance, help me strengthen my muscles - but NOT to lose weight. I have NEVER lost weight going to a gym. But I have lost weight when I change my eating habits! Always. While I don't follow BLE strictly...I have used IT to help me develop more of a better pattern of eating. I'm still listening to your videos and learning... but the direction I am going in, is to make this my LIFE style, permanently.
Bright Line Eating is a food plan, not a diet, Juliana Leo. I've been doing BLE for nearly 3 years, and I'll be following it for the rest of my life, so it IS my lifestyle by now. I'm very happy to be in this tribe and living happy, thin and free.
This is true - if you look at others cultures, they don't exercise like crazy. The French only walk, they don't go jogging or to the gym. Asians eat lots of rice and they are not fat. As you age (over 50) exercise causes inflammation, and when hormones change, the rest period increases. I used to work out like crazy when I was younger, and very thin, but was always hungry as well. Changing eating patterns, I am now never hungry.
Hi I was a Hill farmer in Scotland for 30 years. I did an incredible amount of exercise in my job ,but still put on weight. So I agree with this blog. Compensation is the key word here. In would walk for3 or 4 hours ,but what a breakfast we would have!I am now retired and put on more weight. I have been on brightline eating for 8 days and I am loosing weight and managing. I do have to exercise as I am due for 2 knee replacements this year. So I am trying to concentrate my exercise to build up muscle to help the knees.
Thank you for sharing your story, Sukie. It's a powerful real-life example! Welcome to Bright Line Eating. Your exercise should be fine if it isn't taxing your willpower or burning too many calories. Sending you lots of love and support as you head into your knee surgeries this year! xoxo
I have no intention of giving up exercise because I never started exercise for weight loss in the first place. I started exercising decades ago because I feel better in body and mind after I exercise. I have been overweight, regular weight and all points in between but I have never stopped exercising because I wasn't doing it for weight loss. Exercise alleviates stress for me; it does not CAUSE stress. And for me it does NOT trigger hunger. I have always known that the powers-that-be who sold the idea that exercise was good for weight loss were full of nonsense because for years I'd go to gym classes with the same people and their weights pretty much remained the same--the ones that were thin stayed that way and the ones who were overweight sometimes lost weight but over the years gained it back again. I exercise moderately--including easy cardio, strength-training and stretching--4 - 5 times a week. I also do yoga a couple of times a week. Therefore I'd say that the information in this video may be true but only as applied to people who are exercising for weight loss and/or have not exercised before starting this plan. The statements simply don't apply to everyone. (And, no, I know about addiction--and I am not "addicted" to exercise.)
Only if it's already a lifestyle habit that's easy to maintain. Learning to eat differently is enough of a new habit to take on; it's best to concentrate on our food until we've got that down pat!
I am 5'8 and was 160 lbs for 30 straight years eating anything ,including pizza/wings and fattening foods,anything i wanted.I also had a regimen of sports almost every single day,i was extremely active. What i got was not MORE FUEL,i got a TIRED feeling and wanted sleep which i now lack as i get very little sleep.So since losing the heavy exercise is less sleep and more weight.
I think you may be right, especially as you age. I will try. Worst case scenario I go back to the gym. Loved my Prince too. One of the last concerts I saw in Toronto. Exotic City all the way!
Love your vlogs Susan. Went through bootcamp and rezoomig. I am right now just doing easy stretches and exercises from my physiotherapist. I work with a geriatric population and mobility and flexibility are crucial for strength later on. I would suggest dancing of any kind, especially belly dance for women. I used to belly dance professionally. I believe Prince's wife was a belly dancer. It's a beautiful art form and incredible fun and even stops menstruI cramps! Yup. I didn't want to go to class one day because I had bad cramps but my sister convinced me and five minutes in the cramps were gone, no painkillers. understand that exercise extremes certainly do not work, I know because I've done it too. People need to have fun and do movement that makes them happy and isn't an onerous chore. Thanks!
Beautiful, Diane! Dancing is a wonderful idea. You were a belly dancer?? How cool is that! Thank you for taking the time to write and share the love. xoxo
@Brightlineeating ❤please, a big doubt that can help others here, people who REALLY enjoy soft exercise like walking dance and yoga(doing all life) and just have like 10 libras to lose, we cant do this? I think active people like me just go crasy if cant move the body every day, sounds like torture to me.gratitud gracias. I bought the spanish edution in mexico and really apreciate susan's work❤
I have been at both ends of the spectrum,unreal low fat content and heavy over weight. Exercise most certainly is the answer because i had a cleaner diet and gained weight simply because i got injured and sick and gained weight quickly. When i was very active playing sports,i could eat and drink anything and NEVER gained weight. I feel the reason people are so confused is because the body sort of gets into a system where it takes massive changes to make a difference because the body is so used to a certain condition over many years.
Hmmm what if you have just 10-15lbs to lose?? All the reasons you stated you'll go back to exercise eventually is why I love it on a routine basis. I can keep working out right? Btw, ordered your book today!
I still recommend you get accustomed to your new food program before engaging in exercise... unless it's already such a habit for you that it's like brushing your teeth! You just want all of your habit-making muscles to focus first on the food. So it's up to you, of course! And I hope you like the book!
Thanks for the quick response to my question! Can't wait to read the book! Already started with the free pages available on Amazon. I scored 10 on the quiz, so I need help! Turning 40 tomorrow - HB to me!
As an avid mountain biker just starting this program I am concerned. I ride 1-2 times a week and do not plan on stopping. Wondering if anyone else has a similar situation that they can comment on.
Hi! Great question! Go to our website, www.brightlineeating.com for more information about our program... or check out the book "Bright Line Eating - the Science of Living Happy, Thin, and Free" for more information about our whole program. You're right, this is just one piece.
I believe you BUT: Im on second day of BC. Also in the over 70 age group. I'm too heavy to do strenuous exercise now but am afraid to give up my gentle joints water class 3 times a week. That and walking in the pool, really help my arthritis. Also my heart doctor wants me to walk or swim 5 days a week. Hmmmm - help
It's up to you... if you don't have to push yourself at all to go to the gentle joints water class, then go! If you have to push, then you might want to wait until you're done with the Boot Camp... ox
I'm starting BC next week. I was planning to go to the gym especially because my strength and flexibility has greatly decreased in the past year or two. What might you suggest I do to strengthen/stretch at home to help with this and not over stress my system? I do have a gentle yoga online class I have access too. Is that enough?
Hi, Jacqueline. I recommend holding off on exercise during the weight loss phase of Bright Line Eating--at least until your eating is fully automatized. This will avoid taxing your willpower during the early phases of the program.
Almost everything that we’ve been told “helps” with weight loss actually hurts. Ask me how I know. Exercise just makes you want to eat more. Calorie restriction (the basis of any diet, including BLE, that provides any kind of result), long term, leads to hunger like you would not believe (I am talking DEEP, PRIMAL hunger that completely destroys your mental wellbeing), and actually changes the way your hormones for hunger and fullness work. It almost always leads to reactive eating (and weight GAIN) long term. Almost no humans succeed at calorie restriction long term. Unless you become functionally anorexic if not actually so. And that’s a whole other can of worms. Again, ask me how I know all of this. Truthfully I think we all know this. If any weight loss advice was actually true and sustainable long term, we’d all be thin. Everyone knows this stuff doesn’t work. I consider anyone in the weight loss industry to be a liar at this point.
We agree that exercise is not the way to lose weight. We also agree that you cannot white-knuckle weight loss by willpower alone. With a food addiction approach, healthy boundaries can be made around highly palatable processed foods that aren't healthy or necessary. Meanwhile, the body is being fueled by abundant quantities of truly healthy foods. It's worthwhile to note that what really sets Bright Line Eating apart is our Maintenance plan. Once people approach their goal, we teach them how to add food back in so that they stop losing weight gradually. If you are interested to learn more and hear Susan address some other criticism of BLE, we'd recommend checking out this vlog: ruclips.net/video/WPRGrkNfRp8/видео.htmlsi=jS3Mq-HIt8xdHyRU
Truth! This is exactly what happens to me. Exercise made me more tired and more hungry and more apt to eat things and amounts that I never would otherwise. Also, the mental games 🙄
Hi Frauke, Once you have what we call "automaticity" with your food plan (including no sugar or flour if you're doing Bright Line Eating), you're welcome to exercise. Exercise is great for muscle tone, and for everything else! It's just about pausing it during the weight loss period to increase the chance of success in getting to goal weight.
This isn't true. If someone is exercising to increase muscle mass, their metabolism will increase. It takes longer, because there's a building phase. After, it's obviously the only way to lose actual fat while increasing ability to burn those calories. This is the best way to lose and keep weight off is done properly.
This makes me furious and want to cry. Having recovered from anorexia, exercise has been my saving grace in terms of making me feel good about my body and my self. And my appetite does not increase whatsoever when I train. It actually decreases. And I was eating loaves of bread (for a snack) and I didn’t gain any weight - I actually lost weight during my recovery. The points in your video are NOT rules of how the body works for everybody. You’re just trying to sell a program/book 🤮
im sure a lot of unhealthy americans are partying now that they know they dont have to work out to lose weight lol hahahahaha omg the obesity rate is going to skyrocket XD.😂😂

I ran a marathon and trained for months but didn't lose a single pound!!!
This video is such a relief. I was a chronic exerciser for years and years trying to lose the same weight over and over again. The diet is the key.
🥰

If you are interested to learn more and hear Susan address some other criticism of BLE, we'd recommend checking out this vlog: ruclips.net/video/WPRGrkNfRp8/видео.htmlsi=jS3Mq-HIt8xdHyRU
I 100% agree with this video from my own personal experience 👏🏽⭐️
Truth! This is exactly what happens to me. Exercise made me more tired and more hungry and more apt to eat things and amounts that I never would otherwise. Also, the mental games 🙄
How do you get muscle tone, though?
Hi Frauke, Once you have what we call "automaticity" with your food plan (including no sugar or flour if you're doing Bright Line Eating), you're welcome to exercise. Exercise is great for muscle tone, and for everything else! It's just about pausing it during the weight loss period to increase the chance of success in getting to goal weight.
i like this
thank you helped so much
You're so very welcome, Cheryl! xoxo
Well done great video
This isn't true. If someone is exercising to increase muscle mass, their metabolism will increase. It takes longer, because there's a building phase. After, it's obviously the only way to lose actual fat while increasing ability to burn those calories. This is the best way to lose and keep weight off is done properly.
This makes me furious and want to cry. Having recovered from anorexia, exercise has been my saving grace in terms of making me feel good about my body and my self. And my appetite does not increase whatsoever when I train. It actually decreases. And I was eating loaves of bread (for a snack) and I didn’t gain any weight - I actually lost weight during my recovery. The points in your video are NOT rules of how the body works for everybody. You’re just trying to sell a program/book 🤮
Ohhh, so sorry for your confusion dear, Megan.
im sure a lot of unhealthy americans are partying now that they know they dont have to work out to lose weight lol hahahahaha omg the obesity rate is going to skyrocket XD.😂😂
