Does Drinking Water Help With Weight Loss? #SHORTS

Posted on By admin

Can drinking water help with weight loss?

I won't lie, I was reluctant to make this video but I was sent it a few times, so I thought maybe I should address it.

Technically yes, drinking water can reduce subsequent food intake. If you drink a load of water it makes you feel full and then you tend to eat slightly less food at the next meal.

This sounds benign in some ways, because we associate water as being a good thing and the health and wellness industry often tells people that they must drink more.

But, you can maybe see how there is a slippery slope when you tell people to pound back a load of water every time they have a craving for something. It is like all cravings for food are bad and need to be overcome. Some people implementing this advice are going to end up drinking an extraorinary amount of water to try and squash hunger signals that are totally normal.

For example, if you are very lean, your body is probably going to tell you that it wants more food to restore some normality. If you are on a very-low calorie crash diet, your body is going to tell you that it wants more food. These are normal things.

My point is, there is a delicate balance between advice that results in weight loss and advice that can be problematic, and for me this demonstrates how easy it is to step on the wrong side of that line.

“Keto Diet Is The Best Diet For Weight Loss” #SHORTS

Posted on By admin

A common keto diet claim is that it is the "best diet for weight loss".

This is a big claim, so let's discuss it using the springboard of this video by Dr Eric Berg.

It is true, ketogenic diets do cause the most weight loss in the short-term, but this isn't indicative of superior fat burning powers, keto diets just cause additional water and glycogen losses on top of that.

When you look at long-term trials, the weight loss advantage of keto appears to dissipate, likely because of diminished adherence which is a problem irrespective of diet type.

So yes, if your goal is to lose *weight* as quickly as possible, keto is great.

But if you want to lose *fat* it isn't necessarily better than a calorie and protein controlled equivalent low-fat diet.

Most importantly, if you want to lose fat and *actually keep it off* it is crucial that you pick an approach that you can adhere to for a long time. For some of you that might be keto, but it isn't a wise idea to pick it unless it tickles your proverbial testicles.

Posted on By admin

Don’t miss these ✋ non-negotiable habits for weight loss success!

Quick backstory: I stumbled onto #4 on accident… 

After spending most of my life as a perfectionist, a coach of mine, asked "How is that working out for you?" I was a bit surprised when the answer came out, "Not so well…I always feel terrible and beat myself up about everything."

There was no going back and ditching that "all-in, perfection attitude" especially around food and fitness changed my life.

So what do you think? Which of my five non-negotiables are you going to try first? 

Let me know in a comment… I’m curious.

Worst FAT LOSS Mistakes ❌👎😓 #shortsyoutube

Posted on By admin

Are you struggling to perform your basic everyday tasks or just inherently feeling unhealthy? Then it’s time to hop on a healthy weight loss routine.

But as they say, it is never too late to transform an unhealthy lifestyle into a healthy one. A little motivation, discipline and consistency can help you lose weight efficiently without much effort. We all know the basics of a weight loss plan that includes a cut down in calories, regular workouts, avoiding junk food, and so on. However, despite following a strict weight-loss diet, do you still find yourself struggling to lose weight?

Weight loss is a journey that requires dedication and constant motivation. Diet is a major component of weight loss and plays an essential role in the overall effect. Proper food choices, along with conscious eating, can make your weight loss journey much more straightforward.

Eating less or not eating at all are common weight loss mistakes that make their weight loss journey even harder. However, continue reading this article to help shed those extra kilos quickly and see the number on the weighing scale go down.

Losing weight is tricky. It’s a proven fact that the vast majority of people who attempt a diet to lose fat fail. Despite the many reasons for this, what I’ve found both in the literature and with helping thousands of people successfully transform their bodies, is there’s 4 things that if people simply just knew of before dieting, would greatly increase their chance of successful weight loss. Today we’ll reveal what those weight loss tips are and how you can use them to your advantage to lose body fat.

First. Most people are unaware that not all body fat is created equally. Within our fat cells are two receptors, alpha and beta receptors. You’ll remember them as alpha for “awful” and beta for “beautiful”. This is because alpha receptors tell the body to store fat rather than burn it. Whereas beta receptors do the opposite and encourage fat to be burned off for energy. Where on the body do we have the highest density of these awful alpha receptors? For males, to protect our internal organs, they have the highest density within our belly fat and love handles. For women, for child bearing purposes, it tends to be around the hips and waist. This is what makes these areas so “stubborn” to lose fat from yet is where most of us starting a diet want to lose fat from first. Which then leads many of us to question, is there a “shortcut” to burning off fat from these stubborn areas? There isn’t. Instead, realize that only once you’ve lost enough fat cells from other areas of the body will your body start focusing on burning off your more stubborn fat cells for energy. Patience and consistency are keys.

Second: weight loss isn’t linear. Aside from knowing this, what else can you do? To start, we recommend all of our Built With Science clients to weigh themselves everyday using the same scale, first thing in the morning, after they’ve used the washroom but before they eat or drink anything. If you apply this you’ll still see some variation but it won’t be as big. Then, see what your average weight is for the week and compare those week to week. Be prepared for periods of 2-3 weeks where your weight just doesn’t budge or even increases. This is completely normal. However, in the event that your weekly weight hasn’t budged for at least 3-4 weeks, then that’s a sign it may be a good time to change something up.

Third of our weight loss tips. Weight loss doesn’t mean fat loss. Although the very low calorie, high cardio approach will help you lose weight quickly, most of the weight you do lose will be muscle rather than fat. The result? Pretty much just a “smaller” version of you – but with some of the negative side effects of muscle loss such as fatigue and hunger. To look and feel the way you really want, you need to lose fat while preserving or even building as much muscle as you can in the process. Focus on slow, gradual weight loss while also lifting weights regularly and prioritizing those workouts rather than just doing a ton of cardio. You also need a high protein intake. So to start, I’d recommend aiming to eat at least 0.8g/lb of your bodyweight in protein every day. If you’ve already been doing that, then experiment with increasing it up to 1.1g/lb of your bodyweight or even higher.
