Why We Get Fat - Gary Taubes at OSUMC

[TheaDragonSpirit]

Well on my own experence. It is to do with what you eat. Not how much exercise you do. But if you do more exercise than you need to eat more. But I changed from a meat based diet to a plant based diet where I eat mostly fruit and vegetables and a couple slices of bread a day... and in a year I went from 12 stone, to just under 9 stone. So I think what you eat is the reason people get obese. Not how much, but what they eat. You can eat lots of bananas and not put weight on.

one pickle slice a day makes you fat? i dont think so.it has to be the food. As i have discovered 50 pounds ago

[datzfast]

brilliant, by filming with a black background the download speed is without delay or pauses my speed is a little slow.

[datzfast]

i lost 50 pounds in six months i lost rheumatoid arthritis, i lost high blood pressure, i lost diabetes, go ahead make fun of me, im such a looser.

STOP feeling guilty about failing at every diet you've been on. Gary Taubes explains the science of how the population has been MISLED. For anyone who has been on a diet- this presentation, and Gary's books are a MUST READ.

[puddleg]

He's funny too. Great work Gary.

I started the paleo diet which is similar to Atkins and I lost 5-6 pounds in my first week. Plus I do 30 minutes of high intensity training per week (watch drew baye for more on this training)

[Epickid210]

I' currently cutting carbs from my diet and started exercising. In 3 weeks I've lost 15 pounds. I'm also feeling better, I have more energy and don't feel tired by late afternoon

[SilentSenna11]

i love gary

[charlottesmom]

Lost 8 pounds my first week of low carb (Atkins).

[asdffdsafdsa123]

@charlottesmom 8 pounds of glycogen u stupid bastard

[holyfarkenshite]

@asdffdsafdsa123 lol!

[folgermichael]

@asdffdsafdsa123 Wow...it's amazing you could apprehend that this person is a "stupid bastard" from a single sentence.

[ALucas73]

I just thought, we have had the low-carb diet played out on our TV's every year for nearly a decade... it's called Survivor. Eating coconut (79% fat;30% saturated fat) and fish (like the Tokelau Islanders) and losing a lot of weight.

[datzfast]

@ALucas73 my old parents commeneted how much weight they always loose. i said yes, they are eating paleo. My paleo food is cooked meat and raw vegtable and fruit. pure nutrition.evey bite its nutrition.

[mordeathmark]

awesomely informative

[smileypom]

I'm a type I diabetic, so I can see what different amounts of insulin do to my body. Everything Taubes has said about carbs and insulin has been true for me. I was so surprised when, after lowering my carbs drastically and lowering my daily insulin by about 85%, I started to actually want to get some exercise. And then I got to the chapter in GC,BC that said this would happen and explained why! Gary Taubes, you're my hero! :)

Those prosperous natives don't look exactly "lean."

[MetalTimesInfinity]

Lost 40 lbs on this diet so far in 11 weeks.

[willbaren]

If you want to see where he probably finished with this see a similar talk given at Berkeley The Quality of Calories: What Makes Us Fat and Why Nobody Seems to Care

[PrincessMedia]

theres a movie called "Fathead" that explains this in cartoon form its easier to understand there :D for me anyway :D

[RobertoEMtzE]

I read the book and lost 30 lbs! Thank you Mr. Taubes!

[feffany]

I watched an hour and ten minutes of this freaking video and I still have no idea what he thinks because it cut off. All I know is what he DOESN'T think causes obesity (overeating and taking in more calories than burning). Seriously, no part 2?

[bobdylan4evr]

@feffany insulin does and carbohydrate stimulates insulin

[Anarkokommunist]

I have a feeling I know who the swedish doctor is.^_^

[TheMordyS]

They couldn't get him a wireless mic??

[TheMordyS]

Best part was when he took his jacket off

[11ELang]

is there a part two? why did it just stop?

[bernlin2000]

@11ELang Maybe it ran so far over, the tape ran out? :-P

[ThePaulyMichaelShow]

Gary Taubes is a legend! I'm doing a diet base on the same science as his at the moment.

[bad4ever2010]

@ThePaulyMichaelShow Same here, I lost 4kgs in 5 weeks since I read his book. There be truth in that science!

[mcphilthy]

Thanks for posting but tragic that it got cut off - how come?
