Hi, I'm Bill Snodgrass, Welcome to this episode if you are watching this episode
on YouTube you can go down in the description section and see links to the
podcast version and likewise, if you are listening to this on the podcast and would
like to see the video, hop over to youtube.com/bilsnodgrass and you
can see the video of this in this episode I'm gonna talk about
controversial weight loss ideas they're controversial in a sense that I don't
really hear many people talking about these things and these things are just
pretty much the way that I went from dadbod to this not that I'm like in a
great physical specimen or anything but I went from dad bought to someone much
more healthier and I'm better you know relatively easy path what are the these
things most of them are psychological matters that's probably why I don't hear
a lot about them on fitness and wellness channels I'm one however is biology is a
science matter it's just science there's a science aspect to weight loss and that
science aspect is this you got to burn more calories than you take in I don't
you know I don't count calories I count proteins and well I don't count calories
I count fat grams I don't count calories the body converts everything into one of
three things when you eat something it breaks it down into the building blocks
for your body muscle fiber tissue all those amino acids and proteins or
instant short-term potential energy or long-term potential energy long-term
potential energy is fast short term potential energy stored in the muscles
and adenosine triphosphate is something that's going on there so it doesn't
matter what you take in the body is eventually going to convert it into
either energy or building blocks for the body so if you take in more than you
need it's going to be stored for long term potential energy it's gonna be
stored as fat it's gonna storage somewhere wherever your body likes a
store fat that's where it's gonna go cuz you know you never know when there's
gonna be another giant plague of I don't know what the body doesn't know if
you're gonna have food next week so it has extra today it's gonna save it now
then the rest of these things are more psychological and that's probably why I
don't I don't hear a lot of people talking about these psychological things
number one this goes right back into the very first
one portion control portion control we were kind of
programmed in the Western culture that you know clean your plate and I know a
lot of people trying to get away from that well if you're going to be one of
those people who adhere to clean your plate then you need to start with less
if you start with less you will consume less and if you consume less we're back
to that first thing you know that cycle of that and store energy and all that so
you need to consume less and that is portion control and there's a million
ways to count up that portion control but you know the less you thin take the
less you're going to store the less you're gonna have the store the body's
gonna convert it into what it needs and then whatever's left over if you don't
have a whole lot left over so portion control and there's a psychological
aspect to that where when we see a plate full of food and we feel like I mean I'm
not getting my money's worth you go to the if you go to the the fast food
restaurant and you get the Jumbo combo because you know it saves you some money
and you're sitting there looking at about a half a pound of french fries you
don't need a half pound of french fries all right so portion control portion
control number two get a smaller plate when we take that smaller sandwich in
that small portion of potato chips and we put them on a smaller plate
psychologically we see that and it looks like I've got a full plate here this is
gonna be great and we begin to satisfy our psychological need to eat because
eating is one of those things that is a human as a human Drive for foods and yes
it's it's beyond psychology it's it's organic it's built into us we want food
cuz you know without it bad things happen like we die so smaller plate our
mind sees that and goes wow that's looking I need all that mama my mind
never says that because my mind is like you just put that on a smaller plate but
I'm okay with that so put it on a smaller plate number two
one bite at a time one bite at a time what are you talking about
I've seen people who like they'll put that quarter pound on my mouth take off
a big bite and then they'll shove a handful of french fries in and then
before we know it ten seconds later they're whole meals gone part of the
satisfaction of eating is that there's a biological chemical psychological
process that leads to satisfaction and if you rush through all the food that
process never quite gets full-speed going and you finish your meal and
you're still not satisfied so slow down one bite at a time take one bite eat
take a small bite of your cheeseburger and then take one french fry now you're
some you're gonna go oh my gosh this guy was crazy bite it in half chew it that's
number three chew your food there is a psychological response to chewing that
eventually leads to that satisfaction that our body wants to know that we
don't need to eat anything else so eat slowly chew your food chew chew until
you get bored chewing that you you know I'm pretty sure that there's nothing bad
about chewing more than you need to chew so chew until you're like I don't want
you anymore chew as much as you can the more you chew the more satisfaction
you're gonna get from the meal now here's the one that most of you're gonna
go no way I'm not doing that most of you're gonna rappel with this that's
where the real controversy comes in don't do anything except eat when you're
eating focus on eating make it into the event for that period of time that means
but your phone down turn the TV off now you can have conversation with other
people you can have a nice dinner meal where you're talking to people but it is
the dinner meal in the conversation is secondary if you're watching the
football game and you decide you're gonna eat in front of the football game
or basketball game or football soccer or whatever it is hockey baseball
all right covered all them I think I've covered all the seasons if you're
watching a sporting event and eating you're focusing on this morning then and
you're not focusing on the food and so then you just eat it and there's no
psychological satisfaction to so let's run through that really really
really quickly in smaller portion that's going to control the calories in smaller
plate that's gonna psychologically pre-prepare your mind that this is going
to be a satisfying meal one bite at a time
one food at a time the longer you can prolong the eating experience though the
more satisfied you're going to be small bites chew them chewing prolongs eating
experience and chewing also triggers that satisfaction and last this is the
one I tell you the people gonna go yeah I'm not putting my phone away during a
meal just focus on the meal the more attention you can pay to the food that
you're eating the more satisfying it's going to be those are my controversial
my controversial weight loss tips and part of the way that I got rid of pretty
much the whole way I didn't exercise you know that's for
sure I didn't exercise I basically cut back on what I and the way I managed to
continue and do that for the months that I've been doing it in the way I did it
the first time when I lost though the 60 pounds is that those steps those things
a smaller portion and smaller plate chew the food one bite at a time
concentrate on the food let it satisfy you let the smaller portions satisfy
I've worked a like a Clif Bar 250 calories I've worked a Clif Bar for like
15 or 20 minutes that was a snack and not a meal but the longer you can work
that little piece of food the more satisfying it's going to be that's it
