Great weight loss youtube clips!

Below I’ve included my most frequently recommended videos for people interested in weight loss.

This lecture is 1 hour and 15 minutes long. In it Christopher Gardener talks about the research he did comparing the different spectrum of diets from high carb to low carb. He discusses how well people actually follow the diets and how much weight people lost. He then links it back in with the interesting concepts of relative density and water content.

In this excellent 1 hour 10 minute presentation Gary Taubes explains why loosing weight is not just about calories in and calories out. Gary explains that having excess fat is not caused by eating too much or exercising too little. But by a dysfunction in the body’s fat storing mechanism. Fat storage is stimulated by the level of insulin in the system and this is raised when carbohydrates are consumed.
