Dr. Lucy Burns - 'Carb Addiction is not your fault'
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 чер 2024
- Dr. Lucy Burns is a GP in based in Frankston just south of Melbourne, Australia. She graduated from Monash Medical school in 1993 and received her fellowship with the RACGP in 1998. She also has a diploma of obstetrics, a certificate in clinical hypnosis and has board certification as a lifestyle physician with ASLM.
Lucy worked in general practice whilst having her children until 2005, and then worked for the Department of Defence at HMAS Cerberus as a civilian medical officer for 13 years. During that time she noticed a large increase in obesity in the current serving members and the new recruits.
Dr. Burns has muscular dystrophy which impairs her mobility. In her 20’s she managed her weight with exercise. Alas, this is no longer possible and she found that as she got older following the standard low fat style of dieting was unsustainable and unsuccessful. She became overweight/obese and was insulin resistant.
Another Dr friend introduced her to keto and she was hooked. A year later she opened her low carb general practice clinic called 'Epiphany Medical Weight Loss'. Along with her colleague Dr Mary Barson, the pair have also formed a business called 'Real Life Medicine' and have an on-line program that addresses both the physiological and psychological causes of obesity. Her strong belief is to empower people to manage their health through nutrition and the low carb way of living. - Наука та технологія
I turned down cake at a wedding. It helps to remember that I am treating myself to mental health. Food is medicine or poison. Poison is not a treat. The few minutes of enjoyment from eating is not worth the days of feeling depressed, irritable, and cognitive decline.
so true!
And headaches too
Good on you. I told my daughter that I didn't want a birthday cake for our afternoon tea together, so she bought me a snack pack of celery and cucumber! I didn't eat it because I try to only have 3 meals a day with no food in between. And I don't like celery. She bought it more as a joke. The funny thing is that the birthday card she got me was so appropriate - Front: On your birthday remember the three rules for staying young, get plenty of exercise, eat a well balanced diet; Inside: and lie about your age.

"I eat everything I want. I've just changed what I want." Brilliant!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I was on keto and feeling amazing for 18 months. I told friends that I'd never go back to how I used to eat. Cue Christmas.... I ate one chocolate and completely fell off the keto wagon. For six months I gorged myself on anything sweet. Dreadful. I realise that I'm no different to the recovering alcoholic. There's no such thing as moderating your alcohol intake, just as I have no control over sugar once I open the door to it.
Same as me Kerry, its that one...!!
I don't worry about high carb days,. Just climb back on the horse and carry on. Good luck..go hard.
Omg yes! This is exactly what I did! I'm climbing back on the wagon with a new understanding that this is an addiction and treating it as such.
Dr. Mindy Pelz explains how to do a keto for women with a menstrual cycle and for those without. I frankly felt better with one meal a day than on keto. When I did keto with my husband, I was not satisfied. I ate more and neither lost nor gained weight. As for chocolate. I used to eat the cacoa nibs. After drinking the chocolate as cocoa, I had painful uterine contractions. Research showed that it was an estrogenic effect so, not eating it was easy. I make hot chocolate for my husband from the big bag of Belgium made baking chocolate from Costco. I realized that it was the sugar that I liked in the chocolate. Chocolate also has oxalate so, I'm glad not to eat it. Raw vegans and vegetarians call it cracao because it's considered as similar to cocaine in its effects on the brain. Good luck to you.
Man, I needed this. I was on the carnivore diet for months, feeling great, looking better by the day, it was all GOOD. Then I slipped once, and BOOM. A month long bender of chocolate and cookies. Gained all the weight back. I didn't even know it was possible to gain all the weight back so quickly. Now I'm back to square one. It's depressing, frankly.
I have been on Keto for over 2 years. This has been an easy time as I broke the Carb Addiction.
I heard that an alcoholic knows the location of every bar in town. When I heard that I had a moment of epiphany - "I knew the location of every donut shop in town.
Great comment!
It was a little bit easier for me because of the Covid lock down. My favorites were closed.
😁🇺🇸
@Bob I have had no problem going keto, but I drink a fifth of booze a day and have for 20+ years, that is a challenge
"One of us is going to be unhappy. Might as well be them." Very good. I like that.
Thankyou! It was a mindset shift. No more people pleasing!
Thank you for all of this. When my family first went low carb, and I worried about throwing away food my son developed a really helpful statement for me. "The waste of money was when I bought it, not when I threw it in the trash." That really helped me to stop buying "treats."
How do you sustain energy on a low carb diet
@@Chris-kr7gg by eating a keto diet with fats, which have been wrongly vilified ( yeah butter and cream!), protein and very low carbs. Your body does not need carbs, and if it needs any carbs, it can make its own carbohydrates by a process known as gluconeogenisis. Our brains function better on ketones than they do on carbohydrates, and why Alzheimer’s is now known as Type 3 diabetes and why some Alzheimer’s patients improve their memory when they are carb restricted and fats like coconut oil or MCT oil are added to their diets at every meal.
@@eyewideopen9083 truth
@@Chris-kr7gg I thought I had to continuously feed on carbohydrates all of my working life - that is the lie of addiction.
It does take some time to adapt to burning fat instead. But once you make that leap of faith, you will have all the energy you need, _by burning body fat._
My life has become remarkably even-keeled by cycling my insulin levels. I use two main tools: Keto diet (most of the time) and a restricted feeding window (intermittent fasting).
I wish you well!
@@Chris-kr7gg That's why mammals store fat it's for energy!
The 'BEST' information I have ever heard. I just wish that I knew about Carb Addiction and Keto when I was younger, ( I am 63) Would have saved me a lot of medical problems and also bullying at school. I have been doing Keto for the last 3-4 months, and my Type 2 diabetes is at a normal range, plus, I am losing weight.
Me too. I feel that way about carnivore. Was on keto for 5 years, but it took getting rid of the plants to see any real improvement. (I discovered Atkins in my 20s but at that time the medical profession REALLY hated him for being a "celebrity" and didn't understand the difference between ketosis and ketoacidosis, so they scared people off the diet by saying it was "dangerous". In 10 months I've now (slowly) reversed 20 years of steady weight gain). Actually, maybe that isn't so slow!
Friends and family can be the worst thing for having to overcome Carb Addiction. While I don't believe they are trying to be horrible, they try to get you to have cake, cookies, candy, ... or something else that's bad for you. It can be frustrating.
Exactly! I no longer eat junk food, eat healthy, have no hunger, my hands stopped shaking (before that if I wouldn't eat for two hours my hands would start to shake) and overall health got better. I also lost around 17 kg.
As a matter of fact I don't tell many of my firends that I've been on keto over the past three years. I've just found out, that it's much easier.
Yes. It’s subconscious. Food equals love. So they keep pushing
Same. It's hard. I even have to fight and argue about my son consuming that stuff from them too.
@@wonnielee3407 yes! That is impossible. Seriously, our son was a bit overweight,, but getting better ( maintaining his weight and even we've lowered it about half a kg and he has grown about 3 cm over the past half a year). And it was almost a fight with everyone. Because we just got rid of all the junk food. We've found substitutes, I've recked my brain with keeping him happy and healthy, my husband has given up on all the sweets and chips, so that we won't have any temptation in our house. And then you hear something "let him live, he'll grow out of this, it's just juice, it's just one ice cream, let him enjoy childhood" (the last one is especially fascinating, how the two are combined?!). Grrrrr. Yes, he can have ice cream (once a week, oh how hard it was for us to do that to him). And there are damn lollipops at school, some doctors, everywhere!
Sorry for rambling, your comment just hit a painful spot :)
At a BBQ, chubby lady I thought was smart had a toddler. She gave the kid the chips ignoring the fruit cheeses Salamis.
I ditched sweets, starches and seed oils five months ago and dropped 35 pounds. I'm no longer overweight. The big surprise was how easy it became after the hunger went away and I started feeling great.
I did that ALSO -- but I can't lose weight unless I FAST FOR DAYS... though. Be glad your body is working right!
Is there a plant milk without vegetable oil? I can’t find one 😒
@@Anne-ku3lj I've just done an internet search for: how to make your own plant milk
and there are quite a few sites which tell you how. I only read the summaries and didn't visit the websites.
@@Anne-ku3lj plants don’t have milk
@@Anne-ku3lj I use coconut milk or cream in my smoothies. Sally K Norton discusses the oxalate issue with plants so, be careful. Dave Asprey also talked about why substituting with plants for meat products is not healthy in Tom Bilyeu's channel. Good luck in finding your milk.
Spot on. I was a carb addict until I went carnivore. Never thought I could give it up but found it really easy.
It was easy for me, too, until it came to saying goodbye to coffee. I found coffee, along with avoiding emotional pain, kept me holding on, going back to carbs. Coffee & carbs go together like coffee & carbs.
What did you do with coffee? 🙏🏻
It's a peice of cake.
Here's the thing she's half right about this. What actually gives off the dopamine trigger is feeding candida. It's candida being involved which triggers the dopamine release. Yes we are emotionally attached to that yes it comes from us wanting that release. But it's not us releasing it it's actually Candida. And the reason why it's not that hard is because when you stop feeding that yeast fungi you actually start feeding the other good gut bacteria. Once that starts to balance back out again. Carbs are a thing of the past. I had a little partial steak sandwich the other day. Had to it was offered that's all they had I didn't want to be rude. Oh my gosh my stomach went nuts after eating that. I truly haven't eaten very many carbs in 3 years. It's amazing what a difference it is when you add something back in when it's not in your life anymore. How your body almost rejects it. Terrible tummy ache. Didn't feel well the past couple days. Tummy not happy if you know what I mean. Carbohydrates just a terrible thing to add to a diet. But you have to say it's extremely inexpensive. And that's what a lot of poor people live off of.
Do you know the troubles were about to have within our beef industry?
I've been complaining about this for years you can go back into my comments and I've been warning people over and over and over. Last year was it the previous year I think it was the previous to last. I know that doesn't make sense but two years ago we sold our major beef industry to Namibia Africa. Yeah now they're one of our largest producers of beef.
UK, flat out saying they don't have the grains or crops and they're cutting beef by 85%. Ice age farmer has all the statistics. As a carnivore. I hope that you help I hope that you spread the word. We are in danger. Do you want to eat insects? I sure don't. I'm a carnivore too. It wasn't by first by choice. It was by my health. I lock the DNA to host a specific bacteria that breaks down oxalate. Man it's been one hell of a ride.
But I will say on this diet. I've never felt so satiated. And I'm very rare occasions to I ever get that super hunger.
But of all things in her talk what triggers the dopamine is Candida.
If it's interlink with our reward in feeding it. Funny that a yeast fungi can actually take over your brain. I wish she would talk about that fact. And also the fact that insulin shrinks the brain. That's a fact an important fact.
I hate that you found it easy. Humble bragging? I loathe the fact I find it hard to stay away and your innocent ‘it’s so easy ‘ just made her talk essentially, moot.
Thank you animals.
You don’t know how sick you are until you get better. Keep these coming, take back your life people!
Wonderfully said. I'm viralizing this. Thank you Lucy from Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I lost 18 kilos in 5 months just leaving out allá carbs and alcohol and feel happy eating justo beef, poultry , fat, fish, eggs ...AND very little of each because I never feel hungry!!! ( AND ignore my candy cravings!) When I am craving bread or wine, I just go for.a walk away from the kitchen AND far from supermarkets! Will poder diminishes at night, so I go to bed at 7/8 PM! Watch movida till I fall asleep! No dinner , never!!!
Good to see another doctor talking about carb addiction. I have listened to Rob Cywes from the USA and am glad to hear an Australian doctor talking about it. It is as hard to beat because if the social acceptance of food. And now being overweight is seen as the norm rather than a increased risk of health issues.
I find Dr Sten Ekberg a great way of learning about food and the body's reactions to carbs and processed foods. Check him out.

Thank you
@@Joy1957K I enjoy his channel as well. It's amazing how many good doctors are out there. I hope that their message gets heard by more and more people. The world needs to hear it.
@@Joy1957K Just be aware that he is a " holistic chiropractor" (this seems recently to have been removed from his channel, now he just refers to himself as "Dr Ekberg" and in his disclaimer he kinda implies he is a medical doc when he says: "Typical legal disclaimer (doctor occupational hazard)" altho' he goes on to say "This is not medical advice, nor can I give you medical advice." In the past, the chiropractor bit was in there, I think. But anyway, we shouldn't have to track that info down.
I agree he does a good job summarising general medical topics he's picked up as being topical (hence his recent interest in low carb). And nothing against chiropractors -- but he isn't a doctor in the same sense as the actual medical practitioners such as Paul Mason on Low Carb Downunder (who does not sell products) -- or Dr Lucy Burns (great for the people in Victoria, Oz to have found her here!). Great presentation, BTW.
@@pederjohansen2029 Yes, but see my reply to Celestial.
Depression was the reason I stopped eating gluten.
We eat because we’re depressed but often the food we’re eating makes us depressed. Such a vicious cycle
Interesting! About 16 years ago, I went back to my doctor many times as I got progressively sicker. They couldn't figure out the cause of the problem so, finally, they gave me a prescription for Prozac which I promptly threw in the bin. I went home and typed my symptoms into Google and it came up with gluten intolerance. I cut out gluten and started feeling better right away. Thank goodness for 'Dr Google'! I now avoid all grains and added sugar and feel even better. But it does make me wonder how many people are taking medications when they just need to change what they eat.
@@vanessawitt882 Wow! Thank you for sharing your story. This is so interesting! I just stopped eating carbs and sugar. Will see how it will affect me.
You will be surprised where you can find gluten in product's as well. Not a gravy fan for that reason.
@@RealLifeMedicine Have you heard of Dr Stephen Gundry? I'm just reading his book called The Plant Paradox. He explains that lectins ( primarily in seeds and legumes) are the real problem (aside from sugar!) and gluten is just one of form of lectin.
My name is Martin. I am a carbaholic and haven't had a carb now for 3 years, 2 months and 14 days.
How did you stay the course?
My downfall is eating and reading. And I am weakest at the end of the day. I am working on strategies to combat this conditioning.
Go you! Keep working on breaking the associations. I like that you have noticed when you are vulnerable.
Fabulous to hear a GP speaking of carb addiction- for so many years the ‘ medical’ mantra’- when you craved nutritional advice was ‘ well you know what to do - ‘ calories in calories out’ - without the recognition that your body sees calories differently - 200 calories of broccoli is not processed in the way that high fructose foods containing 200 calories are - rant over. Thank you Dr Burns.
Years ago my doctor told me I was overweigth.Nothing more….he had no clue besides diet …..
Great presentation, thank you Dr Burns. Understanding the psychology is key to overcoming these addictions. My mantra is “good health is the best treat I could ever have” - anything else calling itself a treat is fooling us.
Why can't all Doctors be this clever? They just regurgitate the standard phrases. Very inspiring Dr Lucy and I wish the world especially governments and tv programmes would catch up with low carb down under!
Excellent talk - one of the best on carb-addiction and how to reframe your mindset. This is a keeper and pass on to others who this might wake up.
Thank you for this! The way you framed this was masterful--made me realize that this addiction is NO different than when I quit smoking. All the strategies you explained I used back then to kick that habit. Been on keto for about 7 weeks and still have to work on the thoughts and feelings. Getting easier as I change what I want and focus on my overall health goals.
"If it was the taste, then some fancy company would be making chip flavored chewing gum and making a fortune. It's not the taste."
Absolute gold. Carb addiction is so hard to explain to those with a carb addiction. This is put perfectly.
Thank you Dr. Burns. My wife and I have been following low carb for almost 2 years with amazing results.
Giving up carbs was easy as opposed to those who feel they must lecture you on how wrong you are. Amazingly they are all morbidly obese.
How do you sustain energy on a low carb diet etc I'm skinny fat, but I want to reverse I'll health from this issue
you definitely notice how large other people are and the enormous number of overweight people everywhere you go, through no fault of their own thanks to the food corporates and carb addiction.
@@Chris-kr7gg you shouldnt have energy issues if your activity level is low, but if your job requires labor or you hit gym alot you are gona notice low energy. I found a doctor doing a video on how to combat this, i dont have that issue anymore as i dont do keto anymore, i simply stay low carb, 30% meat, rest is fruits and veggies. I think its better, but i dont put down keto because it started me on a health path and helped me break the carb addiction.
As for super health and fighting disease i believe so far best diet is pure plant based whole food.
When I need a "treat", I have a few pieces of my homemade beef jerky. 😋 No more carbs for me. Never again!
@D B Will try! I love pork rinds, usually have them just as they are though!
I am glad that more physicians are acknowledging the reality of carb addiction, even though the psychiatric community is reluctant to do so. Doctors like Dr. Robert Cywes and Dr. Lucy Burns see the reality of this most pervasive of addictions first hand, because they have to be in the trenches treating patients, and they had to contend with this addiction in their own lives. I am hoping that now, since more psychiatrists are also adopting a low carb strategy to treat their patients, like Dr. Georgia Ede and Dr. Chris Palmer, the psychiatric profession will soon acknowledge the reality of this addiction.
Kids, lollies for being good is the sort of thing that you do for a dog, not a child. My daughter never had any tooth decay past forty because she wasn't given junk like that. It has to be stopped. No child needs toothache.
When I was a child I lived over a sweatshop. Most of my back teeth were filled at the age of eleven.
Ditto. I have horrible tooth decay since childhood and dentists don't even warn you or almost so, they say: "it's probably genetic". Well, it's almost certainly not: it's cereals and sugar.
Yes another detrimental effect of sugar
Yeah I was at a club with family having a low carb meal and saw a child lucky to be 1 and grandma was feeding him coke-cola into his bottle to settle him down. As the good Doctor said carbs/sugar is not a treat!!!
Brilliant. We need more providers spreading this message. It's life saving information.
I am definitely a carb/junk food addict. I went Keto/LC out of desperation 2.5 yrs ago, searching for answers for my exploding arthritic pain, stiffness etc. I was & am highly motivated & it helped with the pain almost immediately so it was easy to stick to.
How its going, I'm suffering with stiffness and would like to change my diet.
I've noticed alcoholics try to normalize their addiction by trying to get others to drink too; the same goes for carboholics.
Thank you..I'm going through this as you speak..getting better!!
Wonderful! Keep going
This week, I experiemented on myself. I ate 2 dates. I loved them from my childhood. Several hours after eating them, I became depressed and my ptsd returned. I don't know how long I cried, but it was bad. That was Wednesday, and today, Saturday, I look back and see how sugar in the dates affected me. I've eaten carnivore for 3.5 years and workout at a crossfit gym. I think I realized just how bad sugar is for me.
One of my most favourite low carb educators 💙💚
Ohhh I really needed to hear this - this was brilliant!!! Thank you Dr!
The amount of addictive substances and behaviours that are available in modern society is truly stunning to the mind when you compare today's environment to the one we evolved in.
Corporate exploitation of the human dopamine cycle has reduced a once great species to nothing more than livestock.
Thank you for that second paragraph
Precisely
Yes!! We are victims of incredibly strategic marketing
As a sugar-addict, I must say all this is very true. I grew up above a pastry and ice-cream shop, my loving great-aunt (who just lived downstairs) fed me fanta and toasts with butter and sugar every other evening, my granny gave me plenty of cookies, my parents were also not very concerned about sugary intake and, while not as sugar-obsesses as my grannies, they would of course give a treat or a sugary dessert quite often. I'm actually surprised that, other than probably some time in childhood, I only got actually fat well in my late 30s or 40s, I'm surprised on hindsight at the resistance of my body.
Today, after adopting my best approximation to paleo/low carb diet, I certainly have no problem not eating bread, pizza or even potatoes... but sugar, oh sugar, especially with creamy stuff (or chocolate, but I like my chocolate quite dark and rather bitter), that's so extremely hard to break with: it's everywhere, even in the fruit & veggies shop!
Excellent advice, right here.
Thank you muchly for sharing this very important information with us all.
Take care. ❤🙂🐶
You are welcome! Thankyou 💙💚
Add depression into the mix and it makes quitting that much harder.
Quitting carbs could help the depression. Lots of research and videos on that subject. Good luck to you! You can do it. Progress - not perfection.
My good steps in 2021:
1 - abandoned carbs;
2 - abandoned paid software - first proprietary writing fonts (for free and readable Open Sans), then Microsoft Office/CorelDraw/PhotoShop/Premiere (for LibreOffice/Inkscape/Gimp/Shotcut), then Windows (for Linux Mint);
3 - 99% less tobacco;
4 - learned how to be personally organized at home.
Better sleep, better breath, much less body fat, more muscle, much more testosterone levels, emotionally stable, less afraid, socially solid. And FY, Bill Gates!
I have one more potential challenge for you, can you do a 20 min 5k run? If so wow, if not it will give you: strong and healthy heart, circulation, lungs; and robust and strong tendons, ligaments and muscles in your legs. It's the true measure of health.

Great talk Dr Lucy! Well done!!!
Very good info in this talk. One important thing not mentioned is how your gut bacteria change when you change your diet, and how this affects cravings for carbs.
It’s a very long time coming tho
Lucy ....way to go ... like you presentation
Thank you 💚💙
I have recently come to the same conclusion from my own move to a carnivore diet. Eggs, Bacon and steak. The last carb I abandoned was dairy. I no longer have any cravings for carbs in any form. I think one of the things that DSM 5 misses is that a true addict has to stop completely. I found that with smoking in 1996. One cannot just have an odd one here and there, it eventually leads to binging. I understand that alcoholics find the same thing.
If you want a treat, try biltong or jerky, but watch out for the marinade.
Thank you Dr. Burns for this very useful information. 👍
You’re welcome!
The carb is no 1 reason for all the disease.
Processed food certainly has a lot to answer for
Yeah, all the neurodegenerative diseases. Or most of them at least.
Very well said... I'll put this good information to use... Thank you thank you
Oh you’re welcome. Thankyou for such a lovely comment 💙💚
This was such an awesome video - thank you.
One of the best talks I have seen
Thank-you so much ! Brilliant.
After I quit pasta and bread, grains, my addiction for candy, cookies, disappeared. I started eating 85 percent chocolate.
I never drank soda, never sweetened coffee or tea, but carbohydrates which raise insulin levels really changed my metabolism. I did used to binge on sweets. I loved the sugar high.
I was never overweight. My body did go through a transformation of burning body fat as energy rather glucose. I later ran a marathon at 52 fat adapted, I only drank water for the 4 hour run. Fast recovery, too.
Carbs are damaging in excess. The occasional piece if cake won't hurt you if you are fat adapted dominant. Put you have to train your body to burn fat. I don't bonk anymore or freak out if I get hungry. Anyway. Your body gets really healthy, too.
No more cavities. Fewer dentist visits and fewer doctor visits.
Thank you for the information!!👍👍👍
You’re welcome!
Excellent, thank you.
Guess what? I train any pet i have by not giving them treats.... i give it love as its treat. And my friends all ask how do i do it, and i tell them, love. It works for dogs and birds etc. It should work for us too. There is nothing fake like carb junk food about love. Sr. Carol. Great prrsentation. Keep up good work. I lost 57 kgs! And yrs, its empowering. I do not feel threatened going out with friends for a coffee etc.
I’m in my 50s and diabetic and I still have family members that literally sneak sugar into food, even savory dishes. I can taste it. When I ask if there is sugar added, I hear no, then maybe a little.
Same thing happens with my family members. I think they really believe that just a small bit won't make a difference therefore a little white lie is harmless. I have to keep in mind that I once thought a similar way but it isn't easy sometimes.
The other really worrying thing is their idea of a small amount of sugar...
Thank you , great video x
I've always loved fatty meat. It's so good to feel righteous as well as healthier and thinner ;-)
I look back in anger at all the fatty meat I gave up for 2 decades trying to be "healthy" and stick to gov't and my doctor's recommendations. I'm making up for it now!
What a great talk! So true!
I love Lucy! Thank you - very inciteful.
BEST EVER - PLEASE SHARE WITH EVERYONE YOU LOVE! ❤️
You know there's a problem when you eat a full bag of crisps and u can't even remember how they tasted when you've finished them, or worse still, eating a full bag that you actually don't like the taste of..... I've done both and never really thought about it until watching this.
Very well said. Great job. I should show this to my mother who insists of stuffing junk food down my throat all day long.
Thank you!
You’re welcome 💚💙
Wonderful Talk, Thank You!
Good video!!. I think I need more help for this than I thought. Once I slip up, it's so hard to get back into. 😪
Excellent overview on food and belief---the damaging stories we tell ourselves. The way we feel about 'our' food is very similar to religious feelings.
Huge thumbs UP! :-)
Aww Thankyou I appreciate your comment
"12 eggs? No." ...you underestimate my egg eating abilities 😂😂 after going carnivore that's like the only way I can "cheat" lol
Years ago a flat mate and I
thought nothing of smashing out a dozen eggs and bacon for a meal for the two of us.We stopped doing that because everyone told us we were crazy because of the high cholesterol in the eggs...
@@hapeta24 I mean, eggs are fine if that's all you're eating, but people saying that probably assume you're eating a "normal" breakfast, toast, hasbrowns, cheese, fruit, 2000 calorie breakfast. etc. RE: Flatmate, the average young person with roommates are probably out boozing the night before anyway so 12 eggs are absolutely not great for someone in those circumstances.
Everyone should watch this talk. The word “addiction” in the title will put many people off watching it and that is a great pity. It’s the best talk I’ve seen on the psychology of how using food (and drink) for emotional reasons - which we all do - needs to be recognised and eliminated.
I've also found that teaching my clients why we eat fats, protein and carbs and what each of these nutrients functions are, they seem to make better choices. Although eating a bar of chocolate releases dopamine, and we think we feel better, becoming aware of the sugar crash, feelings of irritability after having the chocolate (any carb rich junk), starts to bring an awareness of the pain and pleasure principle. The association with the instant gratification from the chocolate and the feelings of irritability start to outweigh each other.
Brilliant!
absolutely brilliant.🙏.
True! Keep fighting the good fight!
I've just had a cup of coffee with full cream milk and a sweetener and I've just realised it was a substitute for a bar of chocolate, I am a carb addict trying to eat low carb but I am failing , It's so hard.
Use fake sugar n at least ur insulin won’t ramp up so u stay as crave free as u can
Excellent!
Powerful stuff there!

im watching this after eating cadbury chocolate- they have huge blocks for cheap now- i wonder why they are going so cheap (-_- )
Slave labor in Ivory Coast almost certainly.
Because everyone is out to get you.
Cheap buys into our psychology of “a bargain” another dopamine response. But you’re worth more than “cheap nasty shitty chemical laden junk” - another favourite saying
I wish we had more like you up here in the US. 👍
You have Rob Cywes. What's the problem?
That’s very kind!
Right on!
I think Joey Carbstrong disliked this video. 🤦♂️
Nobody cares. Haha
I’m low carb but I sure crave dates. Out of all carbs I find the sweet, chewy, smooth texture of dates irresistible. Natures toffee! It’s like a big basket of fructose poison! It’s a weird addiction for sure!
For reductions in carb intake first we seem to need to start within the medical/nutritional community at large. Many still recommend eating larger amounts of carbs even among the diabetic crowd while reducing fat intake. American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association and other government sponsored agencies. You would think the Aussies would be seeing a change after the Fetke lawsuit win.
I gained weight on a low carb diet, had no energy or endurance, and couldn't stop thinking about oranges and granola. When I went plant based, as long I kept my protein over 1g/kg I had so much energy, my weight stabilized at my set point, and It takes no effort for me to maintain my weight. I think the problem is sugar and refined starch. Beans, potatoes, whole grains, and fruits are all good for you eaten in whole form with minimal processing or additives. Any diet where you shed the refined carbs is going to improve your health.
carbs are carbs no matter how you disguise them.
I do well with whole foods. Eliminating industrial sweets and avoiding grain “dust” (flour) works well for me.
It’s when the “unrefined” and “complex” carbs (both of which still break down to glucose) still make u fat and craving
Then u need ketosis and IF
Currently on a binge😥
Withdrawal is what keeps me on the carbs/sugar. It’s brutal. 😢

I use the terminology of other addictions. I'm a recovering sugar addict. I'm still an addict, though. I'm almost three years sober. Every six months or so it gets easier. I can be around sugar, even my old favourite things like chocolate cake(or anything chocolate!), and not have a problem.
Amen!
I avoid buying sweets at all costs for myself. I even tried replacing milk chocolate with dark chocolate. Tub of ice cream with just whipped cream. Whatever time I buy dark chocolate or whipped cream, I consume the whole thing.
A nice presentation! Me personally thank God for straight black coffee :)
Until about 4 weeks ago I always thought people were lying when they said they enjoyed straight black coffee. I actually love it now but sometimes I add the tiniest pinch of salt.
When my son was young I was introducing him to certain sports which I wanted to encourage so after each event I would take him for pizza or ice cream as a 'positive reinforcement'. I did not realize until now that I was also reinforcing the eating.
The medical industrial complex's failure to properly research and diagnose and treat diet and microbiome and sleep and vital nutritional deficiency issues (including those related to Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 and Magnesium deficiencies as well as iatrogenic prescription medication usage) is a major reason why psychiatric iatrogenesis is a primary contributor to the third leading cause of death in the U.S. (which is iatrogenesis in general). If the U.S. spent just a fraction of the over $40 billion each year it spends just on iatrogenic psychiatric drugs alone, for properly researching the issues discussed in this and related UA-cam presentations we would probably, Lord willing, achieve an absolute revolution in medical efficacy improvement and iatrogenesis reduction.
