I don’t understand why he doesn’t have his own show on prime time
The way he articulates himself keeps you hooked
Dr. Yeo got me so hooked on whatever he presents. Always so brilliant, factual, respexlctful and interesting. Please keep having him return on the show 🤩
Gosh - I honestly didn't think this interview would be very interesting but it was SOOO interesting!! Well done - and no more chicken nuggets for me lol
I agree. I thought it was gonna be something boring, but Dr. Yeo was very interesting. It was a bit annoying towards the end though, where it seemed they couldn't understand the difference between processed and ULTRA-processed foods. I almost felt sorry for the Doctor.
Wow, thank you!
@@william4661 zzzzzzzzzz
…or fish fingers!!!
You can't deny that they were so good at one point
Clever! What a great public speaker he is! SO useful, thank you
Dr. Yao explained a lot of great concepts very concisely! Always a great choice of guests on your show.
What a wonderful conversation! 'Milking the oats'! It feels like I'm listening into old friends having a fireside chat in the pub.
Really great interview! Get him again!
Never ever i've seen such an informative yet not boring interview, transmitting so much interesting information about a topic 👏🏽 straight to the point with humor and an excellent form of interviewing, he seems very comfortable 💯 compliments
Yes. So much respect to this doctor. He did recently an interview with another podcaster and he shares so much information. Brilliant
I love Dr. Giles Yeo. I first watched him last time you had him on and he is so interesting. He explains it so well and I am definitely staying away from chicken nuggets. Wouldn't it be lovely to go back to food pre-60's before all the crap was included so more money could be made and it would therefore make us fatter? Another great show Skavlan!
Thank you so much!
Another great interview and very educational. Many thanks 😊
Excellent interview!
Brilliant interview
Really interesting. Great interview! 💙
Just so sensible.. Science and common sense rolled into a funny, accessible guy. You two are good too. Cheers from Australia
That was brilliant! I love Dr Yeos sound effects, haha!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fabulously informative .
LOVE Dr Giles ❤
"The fat comes from behind" - hilarious truth, Fredrik!!! Agaiin, great interview!
Fascinating! The availability of calories in ultra processed food explains something I didn’t understand. Thank you.
Specific dynamic action of protein. Not new at all, learned it in school, 1982. So, while the accuracy of the labels may not be exactly correct (btw, what's the stats on how many people on low calorie diets, cheat?), but it's still a great guide to know how much you are eating. It's still calories in and calories out. I think that EVERYONE who is having problems with their weight, should count calories at least ONCE is their life .... preferable the first time. It is such an eye opener for people to understand that it's the dressing, not the salad, what a "portion" of steak/meat or cereal looks like, how many miles you have to walk to burn off a Snickers ....... just for instance. Just once in their LIFE to see how little 2500 calories of food/day actually is !! You are not a clinician, big difference. What you are saying here is that people can cheat their diet a little more because of the extra protein metabolism. Fine. Still have to count calories ... and I get their may be some better strategies knowing this information. What you are doing, however, is giving people a source of confirmation bias, imho. Btw, you are a fabulous speaker and teacher, very fun to watch, too.
Stop counting calories, eat whole foods and less ultra processed. This should be the title. Great information!
Really found this informative and it makes great sense. Eating low carb & cutting out sugar and processed food the last couple years has had drastic benefits to my health. Wish they did away with the cheesy fake audience and corny informercial like interviewers.
Sooo nice to hear a person who actually knows the scientific facts, and in the same time is balanced and relaxed in his approach. Thank you so much for your many interesting interviews ❤️😊
Dr Yeo is brilliant.
love this
What a fun guy!!
Brillant ,hope everyones in world seen that!!!!
Understand what you are eating. Eat in moderation. Enjoy what you eat.
I’ve lost 200 pounds counting calories. But I also count my protein, carbs and fats.
Count nutrition
So you essentially counted the same thing twice. Modern food labels figure calories by taking the number of grams of protein, fat and carbs, times constant for each, add them together and print it on the label. So calories on the label isn't even the amount of heat energy in a food anymore, which wasn't really a measurement of nutrition in the first place.
Too good 👍
amazing video
thanks for it
So Interesting Sir😊❤ I want to ask about proteiin shake powder
great video
superb bro\
He’s absolutely right. An 1800 cal diet of pure garbage food is totally different than 1800 cal of healthy high protein foods. Same amount of calories drastically different outcome.
Vibes were chill as hell I like this guy
Vince Gironda use to say, "Never mix carbs and fats".
good job
With respect to the good doctor, if I don't track calories, my diet goes to shit very quickly. Counting calories while on a calorie deficit is essential to a deficit being successful.
keep a food diary so you can track if you ate bad food too often . Learn to trust your appetite. When you are tracking calories you are paying attention to what you eat which is what is actually helping you.
I think the point is that calories are not as important as nutrients. You can count calories obsessively and end up metabolically obese even if you're of normal to low weight - the infamous TOFI phenotype. You could still end up with high blood pressure, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease. Dr. Yeo used the example of 100 calories of potato chips versus 100 calories of apple. He also constantly speaks of portion control. He's definitely not saying that it's okay for people to throw self-control to the winds and gorge!
Don't just count calories, count your macros and micros
👌very helpful info in my weightloss journey ,Thanks for sharing 🥰
nice dude
17:30 Processed vs unltraprocessed 21:30 Fat+Carbs = No Bueno
The food industry loves putting calories on packaging. They know we’ll think processed food has the same calorific value of natural whole foods.
15:24 Me when eyeing a cougar but her husband sees me
its strange how simplistic some people view nutrition, yes if you eat less calories and control them you lose weight, because youre eating less food, the point here isnt that you can eat what you want and lose weight, but the importance of the food its self and how it can aid you in weight loss, example being protein calories are calculated correctly, carbs come with fiber which are more satiating, ultra processed foods strip essential nutrients/ protein or carbs and make us more hungrier. if you were to force feed someone just sugar, or oil and control a calorie deficit they'd lose weight ofc, but thats not how humans work, and requires a more nuanced approach, this is exactly why when people ''count their calories'' it works yet they either regain all the weight loss, or cheat on their diet plan.
nice video
the simple answer is, the more ingredients on the label, the worse it is
super duper
Processed food is our down fall Bread , Pasta and Potatoes all are pure starch but fucking great .
I’ve eaten all that stuff and lost 200 pounds over the last 26 months.
Pasta has no fats it's all carbs, I don't know what they meant
I was in the audience!
Is the lady the same actress from the Netflix series Ragnarok?
Hi, yes it's her, Henriette Steenstrup.
Yes
YES!!! And take 5 deep breaths as often as possible, don't let this stress you out. Change is good, and imagine not having to count calories again 🤩✨✨ My advice regarding this, and please be gentle with yourself. 1: Cleanse your body: i.e. Follow a book/programme for at least 28 days where you STOP eating prossesed food, salt, red meat, sugar, coffeine and alcohol in the period. 2. after that, start slowly adding on again what you eat of ordinary food. After a cleanse like this, it is much easier to understand what the you need of nutrition. The body sends out much clearer signals for what it needs afterwards a good cleanse. Listen closely what you crave. 3. Have fun "talking" with your body and tell yourself that you look amazing, beautiful, accept and love what you see in the mirror, now. HIGH FIVE yourself everytime you pass a mirror 😘 Living here and now, in the present without stressing about your looks - if it concerns how you used to look, or how you want to look. Your body will thank you!
With respect, but that's bollocks. Your body needs salt. And "processed food" is such a fucking nebulous term as to be useless.
@@BeardedDanishViking yes, ofc it needs salt, I'm talking about a cleanse, not to stay away from it. I did not say anywhere, stay away from these substances after the cleanse ;)¨ And regarding processed food; what do u suggest as a term?
@@LeNaSmileyStar "Follow a book/programme for at least 28 days where you STOP eating prossesed food, salt, red meat, sugar, coffeine and alcohol in the period." Seems pretty clear cut to me. Processed food is anything that has undergone processing. Meat, pasta, dairy, cold cuts, fruit juice, and so on. If it's been in a processing plant before packaging, then it's a processed food. And that's why telling people to "avoid processed food" is nonsense. Furthermore, you cannot "cleanse" your body by any external means. The human body is equipped with a renal system and a liver, which does it for you. While true that cutting out crap like fast food and sweets will do good stuff for you feeling better, you cannot cleanse your body by just excluding certain types of food. That's bollocks on par with organic food being better for you.
@@BeardedDanishViking Yes, it does. BUT, if a person has mostly eaten "junk-food" with huge amounts of suger, salt, fat and other additives, is a food-addict, sugar addict, coffein-addict etc, the liver and organs are running in overdrive. I talk from first hand experience, and share it. You've shared your opinion. Thnx for taking time to answer.
eating cucumber, you actually burn more energy than they give you...
Why isn't it possible to comment from Norwegian server?
Science gives us the data. Wisdom is how we use that data.
I think the interviewer is not buying his words hahahahaah
Pasta isn't high in fats! There's almost no fat in pasta, it's all carbohydrates obviously
Wow, whole foods are they way to go, your body works a-lot harder burning energy to process it in your body….
My new favorite channel and the host is hot, too.
Thank you! 😆
This right here is the main problem with the media, they are so eager to lump everything down into one little catchphrase that they can use as a headline. They end up missing the gestalt. I lost 50 pounds counting calories, and this guy is basically saying to eat minimally processed, low calorie density food, listen to any other flexible dieting person and they will tell you the same. Sure CICO doesn’t mean you should eat crap all the time, it just means that if you fill up on unprocessed food, and then decide every now and again to have some thing that is higher calorie density, counting calories, may be a useful tool to make sure that you are staying within your calorie budget. The media coming up with these “catchphrases” is EXACTLY what perpetuates problems by selling an incomplete picture. I don’t care how minimally processed your food is, if you’re not in a deficit, you’re not losing weight. Period. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk
Tô be fair at the end he said there's nothing intrinsically bad with processed food, it's just a matter of quantity
@@diegoyuiop ok fine, but then why say to stop counting calories when for many people it is an incredibly valuable tool and the only way they can actually lose and maintain weight??
@@dzl4546 You're right, they try to oversimplify by telling people not to worry about thst
This guy is not completely unreasonable but presents things in a way which will lead people astray. Intaking less energy (or calories) than you expend is ABSOLUTELY the ONLY determinant of weight loss or gain. That is a law of thermodynamics. So whilst its true that calories have some error- the errors are not generally speaking huge; and they will be distributed in such a way that over time they will roughly balance each other out. So they are actually a VERY GOOD measure of the amount of energy you are intaking from food if you apply it consistently. This is simply a fact. However, he makes a reasonable point about what the best method may be in practice to try and lose weight. Whilst the goal never changes- intake less energy (or calories) than you expend- simply focussing on counting calories often isn't the best way to achieve that goal. Unless you eat foods that satisfy you properly- over time it may be difficult to stick to the calorie restriction. Equally, if you target certain foods you will naturally end up in a calorie deficit without counting if you just eat until you feel full- this is what the keto diet achieves for many people. In short: calories and calorie deficits are essentially a scientifically factual requirement for weight loss. But, to achieve the practical goal of being in a calorie deficit- just focussing on counting calories may not be the best strategy.
Yep you’ve got it and that is exactly what he is saying in his book , but also you need to consider the food that makes you feel fuller for longer and this is what has a huge impact on whether you can cope with a calorie deficit . Feeling hungry can be combated with eating higher protein or higher fibre food and yet those critical factors are not in the calorie count. Lack of fibre in ultra processed foods and lack contribute to the obesity problem
Exactly !!
Propreitatory plant based hugely questionable. Eat real food. I have a genetic condition. Processed food especially w folic acid or soy make me very ill. Enrich food with love. Organic if possible. Carbs challenges. I eat high fiber lentil noodles and chill before adding to my meals. Chips...oh my...and I can only eat this w natural oils Eating take away during COVID I have gained and now have that challenge. Unable to fast. Thank you. Important topic. Eat whole foods!
Organic doesn't do jack, save your money.
You can tell that you like your fish sticks haha!
A calorie raises a gram a degree. You said liter. That's a kilocalorie.
It's because for some reason everybody says calories when they actually mean kilocalories
Dis guy got Poo on his Mind t'Nite!
what is this guy talking about, oats do have nutrition lol.................
Notice this isn’t taught in public schools. Please pull your kids out of public school. Teach them when u rise n when u walk n when u lie down.
ok, end of story is, gene Eating is the key... Good advertising....
A high protein diet is not the solution
Why not?
@@Electric_Bill because a diet high in animal protein has an increased Risk of heart disease.
@@lucam2942 So does being fat and weak. You need large quantities of high quality protein to grow and maintain a healthy amount of lean mass. 99.999% of people need animal products and lots of them to get there
@Luca M this is outdated info, it is much too complex for me to explain here. But actually a carnivore has less chance of heart disease in the long run.
@@daveisnothere high cholesterol is a risk factor for heart disease. Foods high in saturated fat and cholesterol raise Cholesterol.
Even if you don't know how nuggets are made how do you eat them when they are so gross? Nasty.
whats with the buddha hands and stuff? you trying to be a chinese dr oz?
He is good at capture our attention but bad at actually delivering any useful information.
That's why the Atkins diet worked, even though it isn't healthy because it is not sustainable in time, so when you stop dieting your body will store carbs like mad, just in case... it is the yo-yo effect. You end up gaining more weight than what you lost.
Why is he saying this? Counting calories is literally the most important thing in dieting lol
