A doctor once told explained to me your body’s baseline weight - whether you’re 120 or 280, if you’re that weight for x amount of years, your body will fight to remain at that weight. So when you lose weight, it’s a long game and you need to ensure you maintain it for at least 3yrs; this allows your body time to reset to its new norm.

Invaluable takeaways:

- You can not hate yourself into changing
-Lose the timeline. Be curious, take your time. Essentially fall in love with the process
-Keep walking! Walking after meals is a game-changer
-Eat whole foods, minimally processed foods
,- Whole foods heal your hormones and help them function well!

Thank you so much!

I’m a medical doctor, this is very well explained!! 👏👏

I truly believe that I didn’t stumble upon your channel by accident.  God sent me here!  Thank you for this information.

Dr. Fung’s The Obesity Code book is a game changer for anyone wanting to learn more about this topic.

“Hating myself to change myself is not it” that summed up the whole video and premise. Great job

This video is a goldmine. I lost 50lbs basically following all that you outline and gained it back the MOMENT I began to incorporate any processed food into my body.

The thing that stuck out to me the MOST when I was losing weight is I was NOT 🚫 hungry. I was eating whole food, incorporated flaxseeds (fiber) into my diet, removed table sugar almost 99% and only ate complex carbohydrates. The weight kept dropping and dropping. My body was regulating itself and I NEVER counted calories.

I was already in the process of making me a priority and your video solidly lets me KNOW that I was on the RIGHT PATH. I am going back to what I researched and intuitively knew was the RIGHT DIRECTION.

Also, I remember when I first started gaining weight. I was 14 years old and I began working in a fastfood (ultraprocessed foods) restaurant. My mother ALWAYS cooked, so before working at the fastfood restaurant I was consuming more WHOLE FOODS.

This video is encouraging, inspirational, as well as, a guide to release weight. I learned the body has to get healthy to drop weight.

Healthy, healthy, healthy is my mission for self... Spiritually, Financially, Physically, Mentally, Relationally and Emotionally HEALTHY.

Thank you for sharing your trials and triumphs. Your testimony is saving lives.

Love Trasie ❤❤❤❤

I’ve never heard anyone explain  hormones and how we are affected by them in such a clear and understandable way.  Thank you for this video! I have 75lbs to lose and I am excited to follow your tips!

Girl I am in tears 😭😭. You dont know how much this blessed me. I really need to learn my body instead of quick fix and being kind to myself and improving my mental health

I am so grateful that The Most High brought me here😢

I just restarted my fitness journey again. I binge eat ultra processed foods when I'm stressed or sad which has been a lot lately. I started counting calories but I've came to a similar understanding as you. When I'm eating real whole foods there was hardly any reason to count calories as real foods tend to have less calories anyways. I also feel more energized and fuller longer. Eating an apple feels better for my body than eating chips. The cravings can be tough but sometimes I allow myself one of those super small bag of chips every other week. That's better than me binging out and eating a whole family size bag by myself.

This makes so much sense, especially the part about walking. I recently read that one of the best ways to naturally lower A1C is by walking after eating, just ten minutes. Thank you for sharing this: I feel like the code has definitely been cracked and I’m excited to get started!

3 years ago I lost 50 lbs without thinking because I ate whole foods and walked. Then I got off track and gained it back. I listened to all of the noise but no success. Thx for confirming what I thought was right. I'm so excited about starting over this way.

I lost almost 100lbs naturally. I've gained some of it back, so I'm restarting my weight loss journey and this video is amazing!. Subbed.

This is such a good explanation of what it actually takes to lose weight from someone who has actually done it. I’ve literally been in the cycle you’re talking about…. I’ve been losing and gaining the same 20 pounds and trying my best for the past 10 years. I’ve almost felt defeated But you’ve really encouraged Me. I’ll really start incorporating what you’re talking about. Leaving this comment here so i can come back with the results 🙂

This is my current mindset with my  fat lost journey.  No time limit and taking care of my body🎉

No one explains it like this. This is amazing!

Wow….i am in the medical field but girl, this is the best explanation I have heard of Obesity…great lecture.Very helpful.

Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been doing what you described but I think my body is still regulating the hormones and learning. This video was so validating. It was a sign to keep eating the Whole Foods, taking walks and prioritizing my mental and emotional health.

Despite all of the videos I’ve watched on intermittent fasting, insulin in the body, anti-inflammatory foods, this video has been the most effective for me to absorb this amazing information. I have completely changed my outlook on weight loss and feel like it really can happen for me. Thank you!
