I had a food addiction and to handle it, I prayed(always do) and threw
whatever I was eating away. Even if it was a family sized bag of Doritos
and even if I only had 2. My Grandma hated wastefulness and her feelings
about it passed over to me. So it took me about 2 weeks to get over an
addiction I had since I was 5. Now I don’t have to count calories because
I’m always full when I’m supposed to be. I have no urge to splurge anymore.
I won’t say I hate food but it’s not really my best friend.

So basically this guy is saying once you’re obese there’s nothing you can
do. Gee that’s SOOOOOO encouraging

Obesity may choose you, but you can reject the hell out of the sumbitch. I
should know, I was well on my way to it. Two years of an extremely
sedentary lifestyle and readily available snacks made me balloon from my
usual weight of 58kg to 90kg. Since I didn’t have a lot of muscle to begin
with, I ended up with a giant pot belly.
My annual physical exam revealed that the problem was much worse than I
thought: my blood pressure was up, glucose levels were entering diabetic
territory, cholesterol was through the roof, and my liver was so fatty you
could probably fry it into a nice foie gras.
How did I respond? I told myself, fix yourself or die. I got a gym
membership, adjusted my diet, and in two months, I’ve started to gain some
ground. I’m down to about 82 kg now, losing roughly a kilo a week.
Moreover, I can finally do pushups again.
I’ve still got a long way to go, and I still hate every second of gym, but
now that I’m seeing positive effects, I’m only motivated to push harder.
I’m thankful I caught myself early, but remember that it’s never too late.
Yes, it’s hard. Yes, you’ll hate it. But remember, change or die.

I like to think that nothing is irreversible, that in time, our mind and
bodies will heal itself once the abuse has subsided. But what if we can’t
go back? That is a scary thought.

This helps me tremendously. I have my sweet tooth, but more importantly, I
am a recovering addict. This shows me that, like my addiction and the
behaviors I show as a result, obesity is the outward tell-tale sign of the
addiction. I can find some compassion for a fellow addict, no matter what
the substance is.

Being addicted to food is real! I’ve been trying to say this, but I think
it comes out better from these doctors. I feel I have broken the chains
from this addiction and would love to figure out how to help others do the
same. This video helps make that mission possible. Or at least some where
to start. What do you think? How can we break these chains?

I always keep my mind open to this low carb shit and I see downright
disinformation every time. Still trying to understand what this is all
about after over a year and it makes no sense to me. Help

This is a great series. Growing up I never was allowed sweet cereals, white
bread, or snacks like pop tarts. I was tiny as a young adult. Later when I
had kids of my own I fed them the stuff I never was allowed to have as a
kid. We all gained weight! Thankfully all of us went back to the healthier
diet once I realized why my mom was against all these foods

*Why Insulin Resistance Caused BY Sugar:* *Makes People OBESE*
Humans rely on the hormone leptin to send signals to the brain to regulate
what we eat; leptin tells your brain when you’ve had enough to eat.
It is very important that your brain is able to accurately “hear” the
messages leptin sends it, as otherwise your brain thinks you’re starving
and will continue to feel hungry; in recent years, many people have become
unable to “hear” leptin’s message to stop eating because excess sugar
calories are storied as leptin-releasing fat, and the resulting chronic
elevation in leptin levels eventually lead to leptin resistance.
When you eat sugar it also triggers the production of your brain’s natural
opioids — a key initiator of addiction..
Your brain essentially becomes addicted to the sugar induced opioid
release, not entirely unlike addictions to morphine or heroin…
The abnormally high stimulation of your brain’s pleasure receptors by a
sugar-rich diet generates excessive reward signals in your brain. These
have the potential to override normal self control mechanisms, create
tolerance and withdrawal symptoms, thus leading to addiction and
overeating…
Limiting or eliminating your sugar intake is the most effective way to
break free from this disease causing, overeating cycle…

I over ride them everyday. It’s how bad you want something. Either it be
not eating crap or eating healthy meats.

Let’s say it’s harder for them to exert that kind of willpower, because bad
nutrition causes depression as well. People that were morbidly obese, lost
weight and sayed that way are very few, the same as people giving up on
sex, so we shouldn’t be that unforgiving.

You’re the type of person who has to experience something to believe it’s
true. Food addiction is real, I know because I go through the battle
everyday. I know the right foods to eat, but my mind can’t shake the though
of processed foods. The expert in the video even says that will power can’t
over come this kind of problem. Fruits, veggies, and exercise is great, if
only i can get pleasure from it like i do non-healthy choices, but I don’t.
Luckily, I have a fast metabolism so I’m not obese.
