I also have a Question maam. Is 4.5 liters of water intake a day bad for me? I'm 15 years old 5'7 65kg My usual activities: Lay in bed Walk for not more than 10 minutes Eat Play games(mobile games) Sit down (in sofa) Write some lectures I do play basketball for not more than 10 minutes I just stand there try to shoot but I don't run. In short most of the day I just lay in bed or in sofa. The temperature is around 32° Celsius but there are times it goes higher than 35 (the heat index).
@@user-wo4vo5nz8eHeya, hope your staying safe during this pandemic and I read your comment and I wanted to help. you with what I know. I'm not a professional but I had a nutritionist tell me that you should be drinking half of your body weight. 4.5 liters is a lot of water and remember that drinking too much water is bad for you because it flushes out the sodium in your body. The recommended amount of water for 15 year old boys is 1.8 litres (seven cups of water) and for girls is 2.6 litres (10.5 cups of water) . I hope this helpes you. But first just check with a professional that can give you waaayyyy better advice. This is just information I received when I was losing weight from my nutritionist.
I am eating a low carb plant based diet and I am doing intermittent fasting. I am trying to stay in a fasted state for 17-20 hours. I failed in doing intermittent fasting before because I was forcing myself to skip breakfast - did not work for me, I love having breakfast. Now, I stop eating between 2pm - 5pm and I feel a little bit hungry in the evening(the sensation doesn't really go away), but that is okay. It helps me go to sleep early and have a really good night sleep. Intermittent fasting is something that everyone should try. It brings discipline in your life!
Cora ************* I eat breakfast and have lunch then do not eat until the next breakfast, it has been said we should not eat after sunset, as seems to be in the genes over thousands of years, they never had artificial light, and could be the reason why we get sicker faster today
Truthfully, i have found most diets too restrictive of certain food groups for my patients and myself. IF so more forgiving and flexible. Albeit, it’s not for everyone, but at least it’s an option that is effective for those who feel the same as i do.
Richard Manness Congrats, that really is quite an accomplishment! Check back with me in 6 months to 1 year to give me an update if you can, I’d love to hear back!
@@MajdMD many have kept it off over a year!! Look up kelly hogan, lost over 100 lbs and its been awhile...she was interviewed for a magazine. Dr Berry has done it quite awhile, Dr Berg etc, thousands and thousands of people have lost 100s of pounds. There is only one thing in common with people who gain it back with low carb and any other diet, they go back to eating the Sad diet of America. That's who gains it back. They're is so much education to support low carb on the net but many Drs just know to push metforim on pts and don't know low carb has been proven successful for many many years. Oh look up Dr Fung and also Beat Diabetes here on you tube. Also for any one that is vegetarian, there is lowcarb and keto vegetarian diets they can follow. I knew alot of fatty vegetarians in my 50 years, was 7th day adventist at one time and they are all vegetarian. Half the church was fat!! Educate and elevate.......
Angel Shining Yes i am familiar with Dr. Berry. I am quite a fan of Intermittent Fasting and Dr. Fung, however - i do think IF is a much simpler plan that is easier to keep up long term for most people, much more so than the keto. My patients on keto aren’t keeping it up :( Whole-heartedly believe a “diet” must be a lifestyle change for it to stick. With all that said I’m very impressed with people like yourself for having kept it up long term - great job! Thanks for sharing your perspective!
Angel Shining Oh and yes, i know plenty of overweight vegetarians as well! They can easily get carried away with the carbs if not careful. It’s not fat that causes us to get fat, it’s the carbs and insulin resistance. Great point!
Due to a friend, I searched Google for the *2WeightLossFast. Com* . It’s certainly the best plan and the best deal I’ve actually seen. My sister implemented it and shed 6 pounds. I just began and I’m already lower 5 lbs.?
24 lbs on keto but feel like crap. Always stressed about being dehydrated and electrolights. Its way more work if you are doing right. I dont want to figure out my macros every day. Its not sustainable and I just dont feel good on it like everyone says. Expensive if your doing it right. All organic and grass fed meats.
you are certainly not the only one who has reported these symptoms to me while on keto -- it is very difficult for many people to keep it up. Thank you for sharing. I'm going to talk about what i recommend to my patients for weight loss in my next two videos, intermittent fasting, which is truly much more sustainable with easier rules. If keto doesn't work for you, i'd give that a shot.
Yes she is right absolutely right because you fight from hunger and it’s best for all over weight humans 🤩🤩🤩early dinner and late breakfast even you hv three meals and snack in a day till dinner 🤩🤩🤩🤩
What's really wildly effective is PSMF (Protein Sparing Modified Fast) where you eat almost nothing but protein. It'll be quite low in overall calories but due to the massive amount of protein it'll spare your muscle mass. Cons would be: can be hard on the kidneys if you don't drink enough and you need to get in fibre and vitamins so you don't get constipation. It's a rather crash diet you can do for 1-2 weeks but it's effective af. Generally I would say Intermittent Fasting, but that's more of an eating style rather than a diet. Eating lots of protein in general is a good idea though.
i know i might be 1 year late but i’m a tween who really wants to loose weight because i’m not happy with my appearance so much so do you have any suggestions or anything helpful to help with weight loss?
Hi, I'm a french student in dietetic and I just really think you should go see a dietician. It's really complicated to say "you should do this or that" when you don't know which behaviours the person has and what you can do in your own daily life. Moreover, maybe losing weight will not be as good as it can look like for your health. Take care !
If you look at the ranking of diets, you'll notice one thing. The less processed food a diet can contain, the lower its ranking; Follow the money, people.
I discovered that I have Keto Rash...its a real unhappy. Only solution is quit keto. My hubby and I discussed it. Intermittent Fasting was my next choice.
Any diet chosen should be viewed as a lifestyle change. 2 years ago I chose the KETO lifestyle with intermittent fasting. I lost 50 pounds, am no longer pre diabetic and take no medication. Too many times, people diet to loose weight and once the weight is gone, they go back to making poor eating choices and gain the weight back. Think new healthy lifestyle. There is also many Diet Doctors on UA-cam to help with sustainability advice, along with tracking apps.
@@MajdMD i know a person that lost 100 lbs, actually more then one. They did low carb ..20gr carbs. And one also did intermittent fasting. One maintained with paleo. The other went into carnivore as she had alot of body pains all her life. Now all gone. Too each their own. You are right....you have to be able to eat that way for life. If you go back to junk food....you gain it back. Some Drs just don't get it. But fortunately there are many that do....see Dr Berry...Dr Berg and so many others on you tube.
Angel Shining I totally agree that the low carb diets work very well for short term weight loss - if only patients can keep the weight off long term. I haven’t seen many of my patients keep them up long term, unfortunately. Most I’ve seen is 6 months, and by 1 year the weight is often regained. But of course, I’m all for it if it’s sustainable long term for anyone - we don’t need all those carbs feeding the obesity epidemic. Let me know how they do through time if you can. Thank you for sharing!
@@MajdMD yes they have to find the diet they can stick with. Kelly Hogan has kept her 100 pounds off for years, she's like size o!!! But she loves meat. I do too. You have to find what you love to eat and design a diet around it. I think your right recommending the intermittent fasting or alternative day fasting cause you can't control what pts eat when they leave and I've seen even bad eaters loae weight with those two.
@@angelgirldebbiejo Years with the keto is impressive. And yes, keto is much easier for carnivores :) You've go the right idea about finding what you like to eat and working around that. What i like about Intermittent Fasting is that it can be combined with any dietary restriction and other diets like keto, but it works well even on its own with a few extra pointers for the eating period. I have a patient handout that i plan to share with my viewers next week :) Thanks for sharing!
Healthy Keto isn't extreme, it just isn't mainstream. This video explains a snippet of what Keto is about. Mainstream high carbs diets put a big strain on the organs dealing with all that glucose, when you are young and fit your organs and hormones etc can take the strain and recover quickly. When you get to 50 you have to try harder to maintain health, we should look at our diet, not just for weight, but for helping lots of health issues. Keto has amazing results for lowing blood sugar levels, for type 2 disbetes , improving and curing many ailments and problems. Look into it please people.
Deadeye1967 I whole-heartedly agree! The trouble is, almost all of my patients who have tried it have failed to keep it up long term. Otherwise, if it’s something that’s sustainable long term for someone, i am all for it, we don’t need all those carbs. Thanks for watching and sharing your perspective.
@@MajdMD Okay I see. I have been on Keto for 6 weeks. I can't predict the future but I don't intend giving it up, I might go off the rails from time to time. For me it feels the same when I finally gave up smoking, 19 years ago you just know enough is enough.
Deadeye1967 It’s ok to fall off from time time to time, just get back on, pat yourself on the back, and keep looking forward. Let us know how it goes through time if you can.
3 top secret (almost) diet plans for those who have tried everything else and still hunting for a good plan. And want to adjust their budget maybe with less quantity and better quality food #1 The first one I heard of when I was in my 20's I tried it a few years later and it does trim off a few kilograms, If you eat a big meal every day, that could be seen as a bit more food for the amount of physical work you do, cut it down to lets say ¾ or 7/8 the size, over the next few days your stomach shrinks in so you get less craving for food. The secret is not to eat before your next meal as you will feel hungry for a few days while the stomach is adjusting to the smaller size, each day as your stomach shrinks you will get less hunger pains before the next meal. When or if you do feel hungry between meals, try a glass of water up until half a hour before your next meal. #2 I have heard many cases when people gave up eating bread using the generically engineered wheat from the 20th century, they have lost weight, I replaced almost a loaf of bread a week to a cup of mixed vegetables, and lost 10kg in a month. It seems to be not so much the Energy in Kilo-joules (or Calories) the bread gives you that adds the weight, but the damage modern GE wheat does to your body(with leaky gut syndrome) that piles on the extra weight. #3 It has been said on one of the health TV programs as world war 2 prisoners were released from prisoner of war camps, most of them had a unhealthy BMI, but one had a low end healthy BMI, he was asked “what is your secret” he replied “What little food I did get I spent half a hour chewing it” I have to ask is this a top secret diet plan or what? It could be not so much what you eat, but how long it takes, and if you take longer to eat, you are less likely to eat so much, I have stood next to two people with obese BMI joking about their uncle who had normal healthy BMI because he took half a hour to eat his meals I am surprised that this type of diet plan is not put into hospitals, as patients are given their meal they are told chew on this for half a hour you have nothing else to do but get well. By chewing the food longer would the food give them more food nutrition and flush out a bit of body fat while lying in bed 24/7 .
*Agoge Diet* really took my diet to the next level. Not only diet, but life. I can see improvements in many aspects of my life. Guys, you rock! #*Agoge Diet*
I got my diet plan from *Agoge Diet* and lost 2kg in just 10 days. So far, so good. Can't wait to see numbers on scale after 20 more days. I am so excited about this.
You need some med carb days some low some high fat days some med and if you want to build muscle try high intensity interval training or hit for short please don't listen to these videos
Is there a better feeling than eating a pizza without a guilt knowing that it wouldn't mess up your fitness plans? Agoge Diet thank you for everything!
How much weight were you able to lose on a weight loss plan you tried? Which plan?
You know what.. let's just skip the diets and go straight to dinner. 😂💜
@John Kalkirtz lol :)
Thanks for this I would send this video to my mother as she really wanted to lose weight.

5. Any diet where you keep sugar, vegetable oils and processed foods low...
@ Dr. Majd, why did you not recommend a diet until now? I guess you are pretty impressed with intermittent fasting. IF is interesting for sure.
Truthfully, i have found most diets too restrictive of certain food groups for my patients and myself. IF so more forgiving and flexible. Albeit, it’s not for everyone, but at least it’s an option that is effective for those who feel the same as i do.

Anyone tell me please, what is Gm diet??
What should I eat to lose weight?, or what I shouldn't eat to lose weight ?
Intermittent Fasting does work but I find it very hard! I need my tea and coffee after I wake up and I want a dash of milk in it :P
Carol Jean Fourie if you must, try a dash of full fat creamer instead of milk (like half and half).
Majd MD Thank you for your help and info 👍🏻
