It might be, if the usual weight loss experts understood what calories out really means. They don't, so they then just repeat variations of old misleading remedies that don't work. I see the USA is on track to reach 60% obesity by 2025.

 

Some, however, will need to; and they can if they're not hungry. Others shouldn't be encouraged (!) in a video purporting to offer weight loss solutions. But they are encouraged, because these obtuse authors don't have any problems with their own snacking so don't understand why others should.

 

That becomes even clearer when the cute nutrition psych comes on with solutions like put calorie-rich foods at the back of the pantry where they’re harder to access. Yeah, that's really gonna work. It gets better: there's the Choice Architecture Intervention.???? Oh god. This: Put your bowl of M&Ms (no suggestion you not buy M&Ms in the first place) in an opaque container, put a lid on it, or move it farther away. My intake will go down without my consciously realizing it’s happening. LOL. Doesn’t have a clue, not a CLUE, about how the overweight, insulin resistant, metabolic syndrome sufferers think and feel.

 

Oh, they very much will realize their intake of M&Ms has gone down. And how can they possibly realize that even though their M&Ms are in an opaque container? I leave you to figure that one out.

 

Childlike, really. Can't believe people get paid for coming out with these fantasies.

 

No, simply because they're ignorant about what the body may do with carbs according to the source and thus amounts of those carbs.

 

Nobody thinks or says "all carbs = bad," ignorance or silly exaggeration on your part. 

 

Nor does he, evidently. You've missed the point. The next logical step then would be to give his solutions independent of supplements, which he didn't.

 

Rather the reverse: low carb is a variation of keto. Now first he ran through some theory, without any letting us know exactly how to apply it. For example (I love this), there's "low recency:"

 

Do I value feeling good right now (by eating these donuts I'm seeing and craving) more than I'm wanting to get to my goal? 

 

Laughable. The modern percentages of the overweight and obese provide the obvious answer: YES! Oh--but "low recency" people are people more wanting to get to their goal. And those wanting to get to their goal are--wait for it--the low recency people. They're among the few for whom calories in/calories out, starve & sweat is easier and works. Actually, what happens is that their insulin levels don't rise much if at all and create hunger when they see and smell the donuts. But those levels do in the supposed non-recency goal achievers. So, for the latter, the donuts are much more difficult to resist.

 

Basically, it just comes down, as it always does, to this: if it's too difficult for you, unlike lean people, unlike bodybuilders, because your metabolism has made it much more difficult and you can't live being hungry all the time, then you're lazy and gluttonous. 

He throws out "low carb" in passing but then quickly moves to recommend "finding the method that feels least restrictive." That is, the usual “best diet for YOU!” Again, predictable but meaningless platitude. Problem is, obviously, the average overweight person can’t find that best diet out of the thousands. Why? Because of what they’re being taught in this video. 

 

It's just the same ol' stuff. Another Taubes quotation for you:

Health journalists and nutritional authorities will now insist that the best diet—the one that they say “works”—is the diet that we can sustain, to which we can stick for life. But what does that mean? Sustaining a diet that doesn’t help us reach and maintain a healthy weight is of little benefit and clearly isn’t one that’s working. And to sustain a way of eating for life, almost by definition, we have to be able to eat to satiety. That implies we’re not walking away from our meals hungry. It implies we’re not counting our calories; we’re just eating, as lean people do. Anything that requires a lifetime of hunger (in a world in which food is abundant) is a promise of failure.
 

Let me cut to the chase....????

Best advice...stay off of the <deleted> and do table pushup daily.....when you get to the table you push yourself away! ????????????????

Gotta be Pattaya.  So many apartments within 1 kilometer of beach. Many empty rooms now that a lot of people have returned to provinces. Plenty of food and plenty of markets. Place is very quiet right now ( obviously ) so never been a better time to live there.

 

Not too many white sand beaches in Thailand but Pattayas is acceptable and the water is cleaner than it has been for a long time.

 

Nightlife ..... plenty enough compared to other places , even now during pandemic.

Good Lord....Pattaya City beaches clean?  Might as well just dip your head in the toilet....same, same, but different...????????????

I see lots of folks sleeping on the beach and the like in Pattaya City....would imagine it is cheap as chips as half the price?
