You don’t see much “obesity” in Africa, wonder why that is?

zero fat kids in china

The other main one was about protien telling your brain your not hungry which again helps reduce calorie intake.

Also low fat dairy increasing the amount of fat that is stopped from being absorbed by the body which again helps with the basic in out rule.

Yeah sofatester.. good comment.. err.. /0\

I watched this on iplayer and thought it was a fantastic programme.

good program indeed. i’ve tried the high protein breakfast and it works a treat – no longer chewing on the desk at 11am!!

aracer: Surely you’re just highlighting that it is as simple as others have made out. Sure you may be tricking your body into feeling more full, but at the end of the day it’s still physics. Consume less energy than you use and you’ll loose weight.

Just get some will power FFS.

ah yep that programme about liquidising food, alex James’ cheese diet and the woman who forgot to calorie count the healthy food she ate ’cause she didn’t think it needed to be included… and was consequently eating twice as much as she thought. I saw that, it was quite good and I’ll confess the only thing I didn’t know about was the cheese thing, oh and the increased rate of fat burn during sleep.

And anyways, eating a healthy diet is just common sense, I have no idea why people feel the need to eat more than necessary. Plus there’s no point in eating junk food anyway ’cause it’s low in nutrition and high in fat – waste of time even chewing it.

Kev

Well it is not pleasant being poor and only having cheap food to eat. going hungry is not what the ‘West’ and northern hemisphere are used to. This is hardly a decent suggestion to lose weight in our over affluent society.

Sorry but these type of programmes are just for lazy buggers who can’t be arsed to get off their backsides to do some propper exercise to burn it off….
It’s easy,use more calories than you eat & you will lose weight,it really can’t fail…

If only everyone was more like Keva.

The programme was excellent, very balanced.

It’s false economy to buy rubbish food.
A relative goes out and gets the cheapest yukiest ( not a real word) sausages from her local supermarket, the packet probably contains 10 or 12.
If she went to her local butcher, she could buy 3 or 4 for the same price with more meat, less fat and salt.
Therefore staying healthier and slimmer.

No 1, Move away from the pies!

Dont skip meals.
Use a smaller plate.
Count your calories.
Dont blame your metabolism.
The wider the choice, the more you eat.
Keep moving as much as possible.
Eating more protein will keep you fuller longer.
Low fat dairy with meal stops your body absorbing as much fat.
Soups keep you full for longer.
Exercise burns fat for hours after, even while you sleep.

Pretty much sums it up.

But it’s not that simple at all. Like njee, I’m pretty fattist – I have however put on over a stone this year (don’t know exactly how much – don’t want to go near the scales as it’s depressing), mainly due to the fact I’ve done far less than half the amount of exercise I normally do – not exactly what most people would call fat, but a lot of my clothes (small, 30″ waist) don’t fit. Therefore I now have a awful lot more sympathy for people who do have problems with their weight. It’s all very easy for you folks who enjoy doing lots of exercise and/or don’t put weight on easily. Lots of the population would like to lose weight but struggle – I imagine a lot like me have found family responsibilities get in the way of doing regular exercise. These people do need some help, and programmes like this help them.

just cut out sugar and keep bike riding – you can’t go wrong! it worked for me btw 😀

Is the rest of your life boring as well, Keva?
