RONDELLA, OKAY, KELLY AND WELL IF YESTERDAY WAS ANY INDICATION OF THE BIG NEARLY SUMMER, OF COURSE, THIS IS FILE VIDEO YOU WEREN’T DOI TNGHIS YESTERDAY, BUT IT MEANS YOU MAY BE LOOKING NOW FOR A QUICK FIX TO GET THAT BEACH BOD BACK, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF POTENALTI PITFALLS TO WATCH FOR DR. DARRYUSHMA. ZAFARIAN IS THE DEAN OF TUFTS FRIEDMAN SCHOOL OF NUTRITION AND SCIENCE POLICY. HE JOINS US NOW TO BUST SOME OF THOSE WEIGHT LOSS MYTHS. THERE’S A LOT OUT THERE. THE’E’S ALL KINDS OF THIS THERE’S CLAIMS THAT THIS AND THAT WILL HELP MELT AWAY THE POUNDS CLEARLY YOU DON’T CUT ALL THE CARBS AND ALL THE FAT TO LOSE WEIGHT WHAT TO DO. WELL GREAT. IT’S GREAT. GRTEA TO BE HERE AND ABOUT THIS IMPORTANT TOPIC. SO WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST? WELL, I THINK YOU KNOW LOW-CARB DIETS HAVE BECOME ALL THE RAGE ALSO KETOGENIC DIETS AND CERTAINLY STARTS IN SUGAR NEEDS TO BE REDUCED STARCHES WHAT YOU HAVE IN WHITE BREAD RICE CRACKERS CEREALS AND SUGARS. WE ALL WE ALL RECOGNIZE CANDY. AND SODA IN PARTICULAR THAT’S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT WHETHER WE HAVE TO GO COMPLETELY LOW CARB CUTTING OUT FRUITS AND BEANS AND YOU KNOW OTHER HEALTHY SOURCES OF CARBS. I THINK THAT’S A LITTLE BIT LESS LESS CLEAR, BUT BUT I THINK ABOUT 40% OF CALORIES ALMOST HALF OF OURAL CORSIE IN AMERICA ARE FROM REFINED STARCH AND SUGAR AND SO CUTTING OUT THAT WHITE BREAD WHITE RICE CEREALS CRACKERS, AND OF COURSE IF YOU DRINK SODA OR CANDY CUTTING THAT OUT IS PROBABLY THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT STEP TO LOSING WEIGHT. YOU ARE NAMING A LOT OF BAD RIGHT NOW, BUT LET’’ TALK STARCHES HOW THEY CAN SABOTAGE YOUR WEIGHT LOSS PLANS. HOW IS THAT? WELL, YOU KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE PAYING ATTENTION TO SUGAR NOW, AND OF COURSE IF YOU’RE DRINKING SUGARY BEVERAGES LIKE SODAS OR ENERGY DRINKS OR SWEET AND DICED TEAS OR THAT, YOU KNOW FRAPPUCCINO, WHICH WOU LLDOADED WITHUG SAR THAT YOU’RE GETTING FROM THE COFFEE. THAT’S THE FIRST TO CUT OUT DAN ANDY OF COURSE IS KIND OF OBVIOUS, BUT WHAT PEOPLE DON’T REALIZES I WHAT I CALL THE HIDDEN SUGAR WHICH IS STARCH STARCHES 100% UCGL AND THAT’S WHITE BREAD AND WHITE RICE AND AND AGAIN, MOST CEREALS AND CRACKERS AND THAT PRETTY MUCH ACTS THAT REFINED SEAHRC PRETTY MUCH ACTS JUST LIKE SUGAR IN YOUR BODY AND THERE’S A LOT MORE OF THAT IN THE FOOD SUPPLY. AND SO IF YOU LOOK AT THAT. YOU KNOW LOW FIBER REFINED STARCH BREAKFAST CEREAL IN THE MORNING. IT’S KIND OF LIKE EATING A BOWL OF TABLE SUGAR. OKAY, YOU KNOW BETTER YOU DO BETTER. BUT WHAT ABOUT THEEW N THING ABOUT INTERMITTENT FASTING WHAT WHAT’S ABOUT TIMING OUT WHEN YOU EAT DOES IT HELP? WELL, THIS IS AN AREA WHERE WE JUST DON’T HAVE ENOUGH SCIENCE. YOU KNOW, THER’’S THERE’S SOME RESEARCH THAT SUGGESTS. YOU SHOULD HAVE THREE SQUARE MEALS A DAY. YO CUAN’T SKIP BREAKFAST. THERE’S SOME RESEARCH THAT SUGGESTS. WE SHOULD BE GRAZING THAT HUMANS ARE GRAZERS AND WSHE OULD BE EATING, YOU KNOW SMALL. MEALS EVERY THREE OR FOUR HOURS AND THEN THERE’S ANOTHER LINE OF RESEARCH THAT SUGGESTS. WE SHOULD BE, YOU KNOW, SKIPPING LONG PERIODS WITH GOING LONG PERIODS WITHOUT EATING LIKE 14 16OU HRS CALLED INTERMITTENT FASTING. SCIENCE ISN’T CLEAR ON ANY OF THOSE. AND SO I THINK FOR RIGHT NOW UNTIL WE KNOW BETTER IN TERMS OF THE TIMING OF YOUR MEALS, YOU KNOW PICK WHAT WKSOR FOR YOU IF INTERMITTENT FASTING WORKS. THAT’S GREAT IF THREE SQUARE MEALS A DAY WOR,KS THAT’S THAT’S GREAT. BUT I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO NOT JUST COUNT CALORIES BECAUSE ALL CALIEORS ARE NOT THE SAME AND SO REALLY THE TOP PRIORITY SHOD BULE CUTTINGUT O STARCH AND SUGAR AND THEN REPLACING THAT WITH HEALTHY LESS PROCESSED FOODS, PARTICULARLY FRUITS AND VEGETABLES AND SEAFOOD AND ESPECIALLY HEALTHY FATS OVERALL. WHAT CAN WE DO? TO TAKE CHARGE OF OUR DIETS HERE. WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE ON WHAT WE SHOULD DO? LLWE, YOU KNOW IF WE COULD ALL SHOP AT THE GROCERY STORE AND COOK HER OWN MEALS ALL THE TIME. THAT WOULD MOST IMPORTANT THING BECAUSE IT’S REAYLLHE T THE PACKAGE AND PROCESSED FOODS AND RESTAURANT FOODS THAT ARE THE MOST PROBLEMATIC OF COURSE IN REAL LIFE. MOST OF US CAN’T DO THAT ALL THE TIME. ‘I’S INCREDIBLYNC IREDIBLY CHALLENGING. SO I THINK IT’S IT’S REALLY THINKING ABOUT OF COURSE CUTTING OUT SODAND A CANDY BUT THINK ABOUT STARCHES LIKE BREAD AND RICE AND CRACKERS THINK ABOUT THINK AUTBO THAT AS THE SIDE AS THE SIDE ON YOUR PLATE. NOT THE MAIN PART OF YOUR PLATE AND LOAD UP YOUR ON YOU KNOW FISH AND AND CHICKEN AND FRUITS D ANVEGETABLES AND BEANS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AND THEN REALLY LOAD ON THE HEALTHY FATS FATS FROM AVOCADOS FROM FROM FISH FROM YOU KNOW, OLIVE OIL OR SOYBEANIL O OR OTHER KINDS OF COOKING OILS. THOSE ARE ACTUALLY HEALTHY OILS PLANT OILS. AND SO THE MORE OILS A HEALTHY OILS AND HEALTHY FOODS AND YOU CANEP RLACE SEARCH SUGAR WITH THE BETTER. DEAN OF THE FRIEDMAN SCHOOL OF NUTRITION SCIENCE DAN AT TUFTS UNIVERSITY VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
