A series of 5 episodes on channel 4,charting 6 Brits with obesity.

The first country was Tokyo. They lost approx 2.5 stone between them in the first week.

The cultural differences how those in the city treat those who are obese, and the high responsibility of employers to keep their employees healthy.

It wouldn't put me off of moving to Tokyo (the volcano might ).

I just thought I'd throw this in to see if people really wanted this forum for health.

Obesity is a health issue.

1. Tokyo isn’t a country

2. I want my employers to pay me for working for them and pay me for not working 30 days a year. Anything else is overreach

3. It’s my responsibility to keep myself healthy. If my clothes start to feel tight I know I need to eat better and move my lard ass. If I choose not to it’s still my responsibility

4. Are you trying to bankrupt the NHS, or make them totally ineffective?

Obesity in the NHS will ensure they will become too busy dealing with their own staff to have time for the rest of the country

Tokyo is a very odd place really.

Fascinating though .

Obesity is a huge problem now and so many people take no responsibility for themselves.

It's disgraceful really that we all end up paying when the NHS is so stretched already.

Absolutely no controlled studies support any of these claims.

It's another fad diet and likely not healthy for most people in the long term.

Ooops yeah Japan is the country, silly me. I jumped ahead to Tokyo because I got the impression the culture shown is particular to the city.

Btw, how is advertising the programme going to bankrupt the NHS?

It's multifactorial. The government need to do their bit to aid prevention and fund the NHS for treatment.

Continuously granting licences for food outlets is not helping.

The government could look to countries like Japan for evidential strategies.

There's a ton of studies it's absolutely not a fad and you clearly haven't looked at it, plants contain a lot of toxins that we can't deal with like oxalates and lectins. People have reversed diabetes and all sorts of autoimmune with carnivore

I am glad you found something that works for you.

There are so many diets out there, it's finding the right one for yourself. I advocate the balanced diet (NHS eatwell guide) before trying anything else, watching portion sizes, and drinking a glass of water before meals and during "hunger pangs" as some people misinterpret thirst for hunger.

As Anthony Chaffee says no other animal in nature measures portion sizes, counts calories, stops eating before they're satiated or eats things that taste bad and on this diet you eat intuitively so you eat when you're hungry, stop when you're satisfied and don't eat again until you're hungry again.

A balanced diet can reverse non-insulin dependant diabetes, IE type 2.

There is a correlation between increase in processed food and increase in autoimmune diseases, however, correlation is not causation. Reducing processed food is a good idea. (I can give a rationale if wanted).

I just had a look at the NHS eatwell guide and they promote wholegrain which is higher on the glycemic index than sugar, gluten is incredibly damaging on the gut and they're also promoting low fat vegetable oil spreads which are carcinogenic, I'll pass thanx I only eat meat (mostly beef), some eggs and drink water and take lots of Celtic sea salt.

I'm not disputing what you say and this diet sounds as though it would be good for me personally as I'm carb sensitive. However, I have to advocate a balanced diet first and foremost.

Studies (on mice or rats, I cannot recall) have shown the brain food sated receptor switches off when eating sugar and fat combinations. So the nonstop eating (and cravings of) chocolate/biscuits/cakes/ice cream is actually understandable.

I was a chocoholic, I could eat my weight in sugar and nothing was too sweet but now I don't even think about it, I love my steak and eggs and I just discovered little breakfast muffins you can make by mixing a few eggs with grated cheese, stick a few bits of bacon in and bake it in the oven in cake cases for 35 minutes they're lovely

it's worth trying for a month (like any ketogenic diet the first week or so can be rough as you transition from burning carbs to burning fat) sugar is a drug, people really underestimate how addictive it is

Your brain needs fuel. In today's society it'll be mainly glucose, but, as we know, it'll function on fatty acids/ketones.

Let's not.

There's already selective practices at work, as not everyone wanting every treatment is able to access them. And lifespans vary significantly, even depending on where you live, in the same city.

This is the only diet that never requires any supplements, meat has everything you need, organ meat is very high in vitamin c if you felt like you needed it but eating it more than once a week is too much for some people. I use Celtic sea salt too which has 92 minerals in it

"A series of 5 episodes on channel 4,charting 6 Brits with obesity.

The first country was Tokyo. They lost approx 2.5 stone between them in the first week.

The cultural differences how those in the city treat those who are obese, and the high responsibility of employers to keep their employees healthy.

It wouldn't put me off of moving to Tokyo (the volcano might ).

1. Tokyo isn’t a country

2. I want my employers to pay me for working for them and pay me for not working 30 days a year. Anything else is overreach

3. It’s my responsibility to keep myself healthy. If my clothes start to feel tight I know I need to eat better and move my lard ass. If I choose not to it’s still my responsibility

4. Are you trying to bankrupt the NHS, or make them totally ineffective?

I agree, if my employer tried to tell me what to eat I'd leave

An employer can ensure you have regular Holiday, breaks, work/life balance by being responsible employers and not working people to death...

It isn't about them telling you what to eat."

Watch the episode as you're barking up the wrong tree.

I am glad you found something that works for you.

There are so many diets out there, it's finding the right one for yourself. I advocate the balanced diet (NHS eatwell guide) before trying anything else, watching portion sizes, and drinking a glass of water before meals and during "hunger pangs" as some people misinterpret thirst for hunger.

As Anthony Chaffee says no other animal in nature measures portion sizes, counts calories, stops eating before they're satiated or eats things that taste bad and on this diet you eat intuitively so you eat when you're hungry, stop when you're satisfied and don't eat again until you're hungry again. It's worth a look it makes so much sense, it feels so natural, I'm 38 and feeling better than I did in my 20's and so do loads of other people

I'm not disputing what you say and this diet sounds as though it would be good for me personally as I'm carb sensitive. However, I have to advocate a balanced diet first and foremost.

Studies (on mice or rats, I cannot recall) have shown the brain food sated receptor switches off when eating sugar and fat combinations. So the nonstop eating (and cravings of) chocolate/biscuits/cakes/ice cream is actually understandable.

I was a chocoholic, I could eat my weight in sugar and nothing was too sweet but now I don't even think about it, I love my steak and eggs and I just discovered little breakfast muffins you can make by mixing a few eggs with grated cheese, stick a few bits of bacon in and bake it in the oven in cake cases for 35 minutes they're lovely "

If you are eating eggs and cheese then you are not eating a carnivorous diet.

You really would also need fibre supplements and very likely vitamin C and E.

There are many other issues with this diet longterm.

Carnivore diet does include eggs and dairy, the lion diet is ruminants salt and water only, you only need excess vitamin c when consuming plant toxins and you absolutely do not need fiber, you clearly haven't looked at this properly

"Let’s organise NHS waiting lists on a point’s system, minus points for smoking, drinking and overeating, also gives evolution a helping hand in the process "

Doctor's take an oath to treat people without bias or judgement.

Going by your logic then if we really want to make changes then we can start by fining food companies for adding unnecessary sugars and fats and salt to food.

Make healthy food cheaper and even free vegetables for people on low income.

BAN ALL ENERGY DRINKS these things are basically sugar bombs.

Regulate the sale of high calorie foods even to go as far as having minimum age requirements for certain foods and drinks.

We live in a sugar and salt dependent society add trans fats into the equation and it's hardly surprising that obesity is at epidemic levels.

We have also entered a phase where people are so sensitive about their weight that even doctors are scared to use the F word.

So look here's the thing for many it's not a personal attack on how you look but a genuine concern about health, advising someone to lose weight for health reasons is not fat shaming.

But I kinda agree that more needs to be done to prevent the NHS becoming overwhelmed with treating issues directly related to obesity or poor diets and the only way this is ever going to happen is education right at an early age and excuse the pun but stop sugar coating things and tell kid's and parents the truth about poor diets not walking on eggshells incase someone gets offended by the truth about the health implications of high sugar diets high fats and salt.

Show them a few diabetic ulcers and the consequences.

And for crying out loud fuck that Prime drink off the shelves now.

And this hasn't even touched on the dental problems.

Make food and drink manufacturers more accountable for the crap they make.

Cheap ingredients and maximum profit at the expense of national health.

Obesity is such a multi-factoral issue that it really isn't as simple as telling people to eat less and exercise more. Telling someone who has an unhealthy relationship with food because of an adverse childhood experience that they should just eat less, is likely to make things worse.

Simple minds want simple solutions to complex issues, but they don't exist. If you think they do then leave the thinking to others.

I think it's important to point out that there is no scientific evidence that a carnivore diet is beneficial to health. Any evidence is anecdotal and what is good for one person is not necessarily for another.

If you plan to go on a carnivore diet (or any non balanced diet) then you should take advice from a registered dietician before starting.

"A series of 5 episodes on channel 4,charting 6 Brits with obesity.

The first country was Tokyo. They lost approx 2.5 stone between them in the first week.

The cultural differences how those in the city treat those who are obese, and the high responsibility of employers to keep their employees healthy.

It wouldn't put me off of moving to Tokyo (the volcano might ).

Tokyo is a very odd place really.

Fascinating though .

Obesity is a huge problem now and so many people take no responsibility for themselves.

It's disgraceful really that we all end up paying when the NHS is so stretched already."

I think "want" is the key word and as much as it's not palitable... With the exception of illness and genetics..you just defined choices that people are making because it's easier... Which is the human condition right.? Mass doesn't appear from nowhere. It comes from what you put in your body.

couple, us we him her.

Fad diets are just that a fad,they all just rebrand themselves every couple of years and trot out the same stuff.

It's not a diet you should aim for but a lifestyle choice to eat not just healthier but learn to understand how YOUR body reacts to food.

I would never ever take dietary advice for a guy who's never had to struggle with his weight is ripped to shreds and just dishes out the eat less move more trope.

I'd rather listen to someone who's always struggled with weight and worked extremely hard to lose weight and it's not the losing that's difficult it's keeping it off long term.

My weight has fluctuated massively over the years from being as low as 11 stone to a height of 21.

I strongly believe we all have a "natural" weight one that our body settles on if you eat sensibly and do sufficient exercise.

I for a large part of my adult life well from about 13 through to 45 always did sports of some description peaking in my late 30's training around 20/25 hrs a week as a amateur/age grouper triathlete I have completed around 200 races including multiple ironman events.

During this time going by the stupid BMI scale that the GP uses I would have been considered overweight yet I was only around 13 1/2 to 14 stone with a small waist and big chest could run for 5 hours cycle for ten + and swim for 3 if I wanted.

My point is weight isn't always down to moving more and eating less,I've always struggled with a painfully slow metabolism , my wife eats almost twice as much as me yet is half my weight.

It's obviously not an excuse because obviously if someone guzzles a few ltrs of fizzy pop a day and necks a large pizza daily chances are stopping this will help with weight loss.

It's really about moderation, finding a happy balance that you can enjoy eating and drinking but knowing when to stop and being aware of the hidden dangers of sugar salt and fat that hide in food.

Yo yo diets are really not healthy .

Good luck

Very few people have medical reasons for excessive weight or inability to lose that extra weight.

It's a convenient and easy excuse to use and let's them off the hook as far as personal accountability.

I've every sympathy for people who have genuine issues that cause them to struggle but I've proved with sone over there years that most of it is excuses and lack of actual discipline and effort.

I'm not naturally slim or fit and come from a family where weight is gained very easily with body type.

I'm not obsessive with my weight and body either but I try to apply good sense and a little discipline when I need to.

Unfortunately, most diets do set people up for failure.

They want you to fail really if they are making money from you like slimming groups.

It's work and it is continuous if you want to stay in reasonable shape.

It's constant choice and maintaining it through those choices.

I still firmly believe that controlled eating , weighing your foods and counting macros with more exercise (whatever movement that you can manage in increasing quantity if possible) will achieve results for the vast majority of people.

It's never going to be easy or fun.

Quite a large percentage will make any excuse like its their hormones, a glandular problem or their metabolic rate.

I can pretty much bet everything that only a tiny number will have anything actually medical that can be found.

Many have no idea of how much they eat in calories and macros or how little they move around.

"Obesity is such a multi-factoral issue that it really isn't as simple as telling people to eat less and exercise more. Telling someone who has an unhealthy relationship with food because of an adverse childhood experience that they should just eat less, is likely to make things worse.

Simple minds want simple solutions to complex issues, but they don't exist. If you think they do then leave the thinking to others."

Here’s my 2 Peneth for what it’s worth

If you are in a good place mentally you can achieve all sorts of wonderful things, but as many people suffer from a wide range of mental health issues it’s easy to find solace in drink, drugs, food, gambling, porn etc etc, I would suggest to anyone who’s struggling try and get some of those monkeys off your back first and you’ll be surprised what you can achieve.

Therapy does help (if you can afford it)

They want you to fail really if they are making money from you like slimming groups.

It's work and it is continuous if you want to stay in reasonable shape.

Plenty of things to try before calorie counting/weighing."

Sorry. It there isn't.

Calories in = calories burned = no weight gain.

Same calories and more exercise = weight loss

Less calories and less exercise= possible weight gain

More exercise and more calories = possible weight gain.

Any "diet" comprises eating less calories except maybe one of the dangerous "fad" diets that trick your body for a short time and cause long term health issues.

It's lifestyle change not something you can do for a month or two.

This is a very simplistic view of things, it completely ignores essentially everything other than the burning of calories. Weight gain and weight loss are complicated things with hundreds of contributing factors, pretending they are simple doesn't help anyone.

There are plenty of things to do. Increase fluid intake.

Eat a balanced diet.

Watch your portion sizes.

Do you eat enough?

Be mindful - slow down eating, taste each mouthful and enjoy your food.

Find another strategy for when you're bored/lonely/stressed.

Make healthy swaps.

Reduce sugary foods big time (especially foods that contain fat and sugar as the brain doesn't know when to switch off - and a dopamine hit).

Cut out as much processed food as possible (the more processed the food is, the less the body has to work at breaking it down, which in itself is a calorie burner).

Keep fruit juices to a minimum, it's generally better to eat fruit.

Eat foods that contain fibre (the body works hard at trying to break it down).

Learn about glycaemic index and make healthy swaps (eg apples over oranges, sweet potatoes over normal).

Dark chocolate can be good for you.

Drink alcohol in moderation.

Oh look, not a calorie in sight.

And increase mobility, and get fresh air.

Almost every point you mention will result in weight loss.

They all result in decreased calorie intake though except the last one which is exercise and use more calories so your agreeing with me.

Watched it last night and they were all fat because of their lifestyle choices. Moving more and eating less results in weight loss. Everything else is just an excuse.

Have to say the Japanese really know how to handle obesity in their society, it was a real eye opener.

"A series of 5 episodes on channel 4,charting 6 Brits with obesity.

The cultural differences how those in the city treat those who are obese, and the high responsibility of employers to keep their employees healthy.

1. Tokyo isn’t a country

2. I want my employers to pay me for working for them and pay me for not working 30 days a year. Anything else is overreach

4. Are you trying to bankrupt the NHS, or make them totally ineffective?

I agree, if my employer tried to tell me what to eat I'd leave

An employer can ensure you have regular Holiday, breaks, work/life balance by being responsible employers and not working people to death...

Not sure I really understand how Einstein comes in but if you want to lose weight.. Eat less energy than you use. It's no more difficult than that. No need for big brains. I'm overweight. I have got here by eating more than I use day after day for 3 years. If I want to lose it... I will reverse that process.

Would love my employer to organise an exercise / dance routine each morning and a highly subsidised restaurant.

Think tonight's episode will be a difficult watch.

At present, I'm trying to put some weight on and doing that so I don't end up like a pear is a challenge.

Obesity costs the NHS around £6.5 billion a year and is the second biggest preventable cause of cancer after smoking.

I'm surprised it's only 6.5 billion. Given what? Something like 30 per cent of the population is clinically obese.

The programme on last night should be an eye opener re processed foods. Tonga exports their good stuff (and is expensive to the inhabitants) and import crap which is cheap. And then you have the issue of portion sizes, oh my.

People are confusing two things.

Yes, weight loss is a simple matter of calories out minus calories in.

But the whole purpose of a weight loss diet is to reduce the calories in. That can be by counting calories, or reducing high calory foods, or by adapting your diet so that your body has less appetite for food.

So yes, cutting out whole food groups may make you lose weight, but it does so by reducing the number of calories without you realising.

Avoiding plants to reduce the toxins in your diet seems a strange choice, because apex predators often suffer from toxin concentration - because some toxins are retained in the flesh, in some senses you're eating all the toxins eaten by all the plant eating animals you eat. If eating meat alone is so healthy, why don't we eat cats?

There seems little debate that sugar is by far the biggest problem. There are even some views that a moderate amount of fat is important because it makes you feel full. There's no point in eating your meal of salmon and plain boiled potatoes, if you fill up on chocolate afterwards. So put a small bit of butter on those potatoes if you want to lose weight...

Whatever diet you fancy, you'll always find a couple of doctors on the internet that are making money out of promoting it.

The best advice is everything in moderation, quality over quantity, get more exercise, and cut out the sugar.

You say you should cut out sugar but advocate eating plain boiled potatoes, which are essentially high in sugar in the form of carbs. Reduce carbs and eat more fat to help with obesity, Mrs x

I think what they are referring to here is those processed sugary products, rather than naturally occurring sugars in non processed foods.

Going back to my school days - carbs divide into simple (sugars) and complex (starch). Cut out sugars. And yes, complex break down into sugars but do it at a slow rate. This means no spike in your blood glucose levels, meaning a steady release of energy. Bottom line, not all carbs are evil .

Rice is very starchy too and should be avoided like potatoes. It's the main reason why Asian men are the largest group of diabetics in the world. All bread is too starchy and should be avoided. It's the wheat that's the problem not the bleach that's used to make bread white, Mrs x

"People are confusing two things.

Yes, weight loss is a simple matter of calories out minus calories in.

But the whole purpose of a weight loss diet is to reduce the calories in. That can be by counting calories, or reducing high calory foods, or by adapting your diet so that your body has less appetite for food.

So yes, cutting out whole food groups may make you lose weight, but it does so by reducing the number of calories without you realising.

Avoiding plants to reduce the toxins in your diet seems a strange choice, because apex predators often suffer from toxin concentration - because some toxins are retained in the flesh, in some senses you're eating all the toxins eaten by all the plant eating animals you eat. If eating meat alone is so healthy, why don't we eat cats?

There seems little debate that sugar is by far the biggest problem. There are even some views that a moderate amount of fat is important because it makes you feel full. There's no point in eating your meal of salmon and plain boiled potatoes, if you fill up on chocolate afterwards. So put a small bit of butter on those potatoes if you want to lose weight...

Whatever diet you fancy, you'll always find a couple of doctors on the internet that are making money out of promoting it.

The best advice is everything in moderation, quality over quantity, get more exercise, and cut out the sugar.You say you should cut out sugar but advocate eating plain boiled potatoes, which are essentially high in sugar in the form of carbs. Reduce carbs and eat more fat to help with obesity, Mrs x

Going back to my school days - carbs divide into simple (sugars) and complex (starch). Cut out sugars. And yes, complex break down into sugars but do it at a slow rate. This means no spike in your blood glucose levels, meaning a steady release of energy. Bottom line, not all carbs are evil . White bread spikes blood sugar quicker than glucose tablets. The carbs in starchy food should be avoided by type 2 diabetics, Mrs x

Indeed, wholegrain is pushed onto diabetics by doctor's as part of a healthy balanced diet and it's higher on the glycemic index than sugar. Only once you've experienced the benefits of low carb/keto and even better carnivore can you understand how ridiculous the recommendations are

Until there's copious evidence, the current eat well guide stands.

Just look at the glycemic index, show me any evidence at all that spiking insulin helps diabetes? It's just insane

Diabetes UK has potato recipes.

And cake recipes

And bread recipes

Hmmmm

If they have, then the recipes will have been adapted."

Nope, wholemeal flour and potato isn't really much better as starch turns to glucose. The doctor's I've been listening to are all making their podcasts as an apology after spending years giving people advice in the guidelines and wondering why they weren't getting any better (they assumed they were lying) and now they know better they're embarrassed and feeling guilty so they're helping people with their podcasts etc

Any diabetics in here, if you want evidence-based dietary advice, see your diabetic specialist nurse and/or get a referral to a dietitian.

So they can get their insulin through the roof? This is getting pretty dangerous in here, if you want a health section you need to promote real health not these awful guidelines. It's really not safe

Oh behave yourself!

It's obvious you have a mistrust of healthcare professionals. What you advocate may help certain individuals but it will not help the majority of people.
