    Thank you for your …
    Thank you for your oversite you are very healpful and informative in your video’s. People like yourself are a positive for you tube. There is another guy out there called TreeClimbingMan who mocks people like yourself and is the reason why you tube is going down the tubes.

  2. That’s not likely. …
    That’s not likely. I am enjoying all the female attention I am getting!

  3. There is no …
    There is no question that choosing healthy foods is a huge advantage in the battle for health. You’ve made a wise decision; I salute you.

    Now if you can avoid a rebound within 2-5 years, you’ll have really achieved something.

  4. In February I …
    In February I decided that I did not enjoy being 215 pounds (at 5′”9″). There are many things that I decided I would not eat again and some only very occasionally.

    In 5 months I lost 40 pounds (only by cutting out unhealthy foods) and now weigh 175. I have not felt better in years.

  5. you’re inspiring.
    you’re inspiring.

  6. i don’t think using …
    i don’t think using drugs for dieting is a good idea at all and i don’t really get why the medical profession use old measuring techniques such as the BMI and height and weight to calulate one’s calorie needs, it’s best to use the up to date techniques calulating ur BMR by getting ur weight in kg times 25, then decide how active u are from there and add more calories onto that

  7. A low GI/Alkaline …
    A low GI/Alkaline diet is the best.
    Great videos.

  8. He is so right, if …
    He is so right, if you meet your nutritional needs – and avoid things like monosodiuim glutamate, aspartame and other excipients -
    you won’t be hungry.

  9. Noted, it’s not a …
    Noted, it’s not a drug.

    It’s beans.

    Including legumes in diet is wise… wiser by far than consuming a highly-processed nutritional supplement derived from beans, I suspect.

  10. Lots of short term …
    Lots of short term diets are effective in the short term. It doesn’t last. Peer-reviewed studies show 98% of dieters fail in the 2-10 year window.

    Carb blocking drugs are dangerous. Don’t ever use them without consulting a good doctor.

  11. Most welcome!

    …
    Most welcome!

    Please let me steer you to PsycheTruth’s videos. He produced two very recently about ADHD that I consider valuable summaries of what is known about the disorder, its link to nutrition, and drug treatment efficacy (or lack thereof).

  12. I’m a teacher in …
    I’m a teacher in the UK working with students with challenging behaviour. In my five years of teaching, I have noticed a DIRECT link between sugar intake and extreme behaviour in teenagers.

    I’m working my way through your healthy eating videos [I have just watched number 8] and I intend to use a lot of what you have said in my Healthy Living classes. Thank you for these very informative and well presented lectures.

  13. I did a bit of …
    I did a bit of instructing from time to time during my career, but I was never a professional teacher.

    I’m an amateur in everything I do on YouTube, like most of us here.

  14. What an interesting …
    What an interesting lecture! I find your voice very relaxing and easy to listen to. Were you ever a teacher?

  15. I’m happy you enjoy …
    I’m happy you enjoy them, Liz, and you’re most welcome. :-)

  16. I love Urgelts …
    I love Urgelts videos! The way he explains everything is so easy to understand. They also keep me motivated!
    Thanks Urgelt!

  17. Dr. Mercola is …
    Dr. Mercola is operating well beyond the boundaries of peer-reviewed science these days. That’s not all bad; someone has to get out there and work the fringes, or science will never advance into new territories.

    But it means that his methods should come with a warning label: “your mileage may vary.”

  18. Don’t worry about …
    Don’t worry about flooding the thread – there’s plenty of room for comments, and conversation is my purpose here.

    Nutritional typing has potential. There are problems, though. Lack of peer-reviewed double-blind studies; insufficient understanding of the ways humans differ; and it relies on subjective judgment of the nutritionist or practitioner. Those limitations make it potential quack territory. Buyer beware.

  19. I see. This issue …
    I see. This issue is generally considered as emotional barrier in nutritional typing. Dr Mercola uses EFT (emotional freedom technique) which consider the importance of emotional well-being in combating powerful mental obstacles to achieve nutritional balance.

  20. I agree. What’s …
    I agree. What’s offered in nutritional typing is the fine-tuning of the diet(type, ratio and combination of foods) over time. Sometimes there willbe a swing between metabolic types n some other disruption. Therefore tuning the diet will help the body towards eating foods synergistically appropriate for the body’s cellular process. Although i would say it wont be perfect until we understand fully how the body works.

  21. Most diets …
    Most diets deliberately starve the body of something it needs. It’s the starvation that produces weight loss – and snowballs cravings which eventually defeat the diet.

    At least, that’s my take on it.

  22. Well, there is more …
    Well, there is more to that 2% than typing.

    A small segment of the population is capable of monomaniacal denial of cravings – as in, anorexia and bulemia, which often begin when a person (usually young) is overweight, and begins to desire to lose weight at any cost.

    Unfortunately, the studies haven’t looked real hard at that 2% to see what is going on there, so I can’t cite which factors have how much influence on the number.

  23. All diets most of …
    All diets most of the time failed because NO one diet will work for everyone, (they failed to consider this), and many of the diets out there relies on dangerous powders, pills, or excluding some groups of nutrients that are absolutely necessary for our body (like Atkin’s diet, low-fat diet, low-carb diet,etc).Coz i dont want to flood this thread, pls google “nutritional typing” n remember good diet and good exercise come in one package

  24. I mostly agree. I …
    I mostly agree. I will add, though, that we do not really understand enough about cellular processes to make accurate typing decisions. That’s coming, though not quickly. It will start with routine sequencing of a patient’s genome (not here yet) and also requires a firm understanding of how genes are expressed in downstream processes.

    Without that understanding and specificity, all typing can do is a sort of guesstimate.

  25. Nutritional typing …
    Nutritional typing address each person by considering their own metabolic types and biochemistry, also lifestyle. It’s more than losing/gaining weight to achieve slim body, but it is using natural foods as medicine. It is a path to optimum overall wellbeing because it help slim body, prevent and reverse almost any diseases and eliminate cravings
