Losing Weight and keeping it off. | Errol Bryce | TEDxSouthwesternAU

I walked into Helen's room and it was very obvious that something special was happening. Helen was beaming and it was written all over her face. Helen had lost a lot of

weight

. I looked at the chart and her

weight

was 220 pounds about a year ago. and now her weight was one hundred and sixty pounds. I told Helen what happened. I took the time to ask Helen a series of questions to make sure she wasn't sick and that this weight loss wasn't due to some malignancy or something and she said no to all the appropriate questions and then I told Helen what happened over the last year and after she explained to me what happened I recognized that Helen had discovered the amazing secret to permanent weight loss.

What is this secret? You have to do 60 to 90 minutes of exercise every day if you want to lose weight. Yes, that is necessary, but it is no longer a secret. It is now a scientific fact that you need a whole plant-based food where the majority of your food is soluble fiber. insoluble fiber that when you eat it you are actually eating zero calories one pound of fiber zero calories ten pounds of fiber zero calories is that the trick well, not really, yes, you have to eat like this, that is not the secret of the surprise, is that you need Journaling every day is important for

losing

weight, but that's not the secret Helen stumbled upon.

What is the secret? You need to sleep between seven point five and nine hours each night. Yes, this is important, but it is not this secret. scientific fact that you need to sleep you need to be hydrated this is the secret it is now common knowledge so what is this secret? Before I share this secret with you I must educate you about four hormones these hormones one called the hormone cortisol is highest at six o'clock in the morning, so if you divide your day into twelve hours, from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. m. to 6 p.m. m. that's sunlight and then the other part of the day at 6 p.m. at 6 am. that night your hormone cortisol is highest at 6 o'clock in the morning and less than an hour and after you wake up there is a surge of this hormone cortisol this hormone turns your body into a high activity machine most of the time. you eat early in the morning, that's high cortisol, it's converted into energy, your body is programmed to move, everything is converted into energy first thing in the morning, the second hormone is thyroid hormone, your thyroid hormone It boosts your metabolic rate and yes, it is the highest first thing in the morning. in the morning, so if you can work on your thyroid hormone first thing in the morning, you will find that your metal bit rate is high and you are burning fat, you are

losing

weight, the next hormone is leptin, like cortisol, at first hour of the morning. it's the highest level like the thyroid hormone first in the morning it's at the highest level the same with leptin leptin is that hormone that actually reduces appetite and also starts a series of fat burning mechanisms and yes you guessed it , leptin is the highest First thing in the morning we have one more hormone, insulin, yes, insulin is a hormone, insulin is a little different at its lowest level, insulin burns fat and converts it to glucose, a process of those who study biochemistry that you will recognize as gluco neo.

Genesis, so your glucose level increases from fat in an unfed state, when you are fasting, fat is converted to glucose and guess what your lowest glucose level is first thing in the morning, so here you have a situation where you have a high feed. high activity level in the first part of the day and towards the end of the day, you have a low and low activity level, so if you get most of your calories, most of your physical activity in this first part of the day will be burning fat and if you do this before putting something in your mouth, this fat will go from the fat group to glucose now you can drink water, but if you put something in your mouth insulin is released and the process stops, so if You get 50 percent of your calories for breakfast and fifty percent of your calories before 2:00 p.m. you won't burn fat you won't store fat you'll burn well if you get your calories after 5 o'clock 5 6 7 8 o'clock you're getting 80 percent of your calories basically you're storing fat continuously and then what's called central obesity arises, then it arises diabetes, high blood pressure, strokes, everything works and different types of cancer, this unhealthy weight gain in this way causes 263 additional diseases, this unhealthy weight has now been classified as a disease that is incurable, for That this secret is so important now, this concept is not new, in fact we have had this concept for: 3,500 years at the birth of the nation of Israel, when 2.5 million people moved from Egypt to Canaan, explained in ancient Hebrew In the literature Exodus 16 and verse 21, you see the same concept clearly stated.

Now, what happens when you eat a big breakfast in the morning? You have a big dinner around 2 p.m. and what happens at 6 7 8 ten when you are hungry and you shoot your mother if she prevents you from entering the refrigerator or she gets in before the donut or as they say in the federal district of FA when you have a lot of man or They say in Kingston, Jamaica, We continue, we lick your drink, what do you do when hunger strikes? The good news is that it's not actually hunger, it's an addictive 20-minute amygdala sensation and you can train the frontal cortex to override this. amygdala sensation, we may have to go to the Navy SEALs to get an idea of ​​a concept they used, so the Navy SEALs got a bunch of neuroscience to try to figure out how we get the Navy SEALs to overcome fear. and they came up with this protocol, goal setting number one, mental rehearsal and visualization, self-talk, and arousal management.

It's going to take me a good hour to really break it down. Use illustrations so you really understand what I am going to present to you. when setting up you decide exactly what you want to achieve, you set SMART, specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely goals, for example, I want to lose 30 pounds in 12 months, it is specific, it is measurable, yes, it is achievable, it is realistic and you It has its schedule. annually, do multigo, daily goal, every hour, and you rehearse these mental images in your mind, you visualize yourself in your high school, avoiding diabetes, high blood pressure, just looking great, you save the memory, mom misses mental rehearsal , going over and over again and visualizing yourself reaching your goal and then you can use internal dialogue we talk to ourselves three hundred to a thousand words per minute and they are usually negative you are fat you are no good you can't do it you have never achieved anything you keep it up Rehearsing these negative thoughts to yourself over and over again What happens if you replace what I can't do with concepts of I can do it?

Yes, I can, I can do it. These positive concepts. Rehearse these positive words to yourself over and over again. It's an internal dialogue for those of you who understand this problem with Joseph. Joseph was caught in a situation where his amygdala was about to override his frontal cortex and the court drew that Joseph started talking to himself. This boss doesn't even know how much money is in Bank of America and trusts. I still, how can I sin against God?, internal dialogue and this is how the frontal lobe overrides the amygdala. Daniels, same situation, the purposes are goal setting, they were just using the same mechanism, so there is another protocol you can use, the Blue Zone Adventists protocol. actually just drink a glass of cold water wherever you have that feeling that you have to eat at seven o'clock at night, just have a glass of cold water within five minutes and that feeling goes away or you can use positive psychology where you use Therapy of prayer or gratitude in which you list two or three things you can be grateful for or you just move, change circumstances, move from where you are, go for a walk and call a friend, call a support system, whatever of these three protocols that you can. use it like this 50% of your calories first thing in the morning 50% of your calories before 2:00 p.m. and at night you use these protocols and you can lose all the weight you want to lose and you can do it permanently so let's go back to Helen, so I said to Helen, what happened, I will respond to dr.

Bryce I just moved into an assisted living facility and they feed me whatever I want, they clean my house, they do everything, there's nothing I need to do, so every morning I leave my room, walk down the hall, and go into my exercise room four in the morning five in the morning Helen was riding her exercise bike for six miles that's it Helen went to bed early she has a plan she had to choose two meals so she chose breakfast and lunch and skipped dinner and went to bed early at five in the morning. Helen is awake on her bike, so she was writing when her insulin level was low, so she was burning fat to convert it into energy.

She gets the calories from her with a big breakfast that turns into energy and at night she didn't eat as simple as that amazing secret and we are not the first to discover it. It has existed in Exodus 16 and verse 21. Now you know the secret to losing weight and

keeping

it off. Try it and when you have mastered it. don't keep it to yourself friends pass it on pass it on
