Watch this great video about weight loss

There are probably more misconceptions about fat than any other macronutrient. Dr. Weil explains why “fat does not make you fat” and shares which fat sources are the most conducive to optimum health.

Amen brother. This is what I’ve tried to tell my family and? they acted like I was crazy.
Right on? Andy!!
thank you! it’s amazing how this is STILL not? part of mainstream knowledge. thank the pharmaceutical companies who are busy hawking their wares, i suppose.
Thank? you for the very informative presentation.
thank you dr. weil!! this message urgently needs to? get out to people.
@nbhaile mainstream knowledge? that’s? a good one, the masses are retarded, fat fact haha :’D
What is the name of the compound found in the olive of? oil that gives it pepper taste?
I think omega 6 itself is not the problem per say but rather that it is rancid or rotted omega 6. that people are eating. I ate extra virgin olive oil once off a spoon, and I almost vomited, I got the dry heaves, my body absolutly didn’t like it, so I use it in salad dressings. I love? my whole milk too. yummy.
Try virgin coconut oil…more powerful than olive.? Never goes rancid!!!!! high in medium chain fatty acids, and vitamin K.
Am I the only one who finds it ironic that a man who is definitely not considered skinny, is lecturing on how? “fats” don’t always make you fat?…
@bootsinflow but? it has a lot of saturated fat. Olive oil is a better alternative.
refined carbs and refined fats (oils).. I don’t know if they cause obesity, but I’m sure they throw the human body out of balance- for example hormones, insulin, leptin, and also refined fructose really hurts the liver (cf Lustig).. Whole foods provide fiber, vitamins, minerals and other factors that might make fat, fructose fine. I think olive oil still a refined product. fat from avocado, dairy, egg etc best but meat requires animal death. Yes Weil? ist overweight so how can he lecture us?
Why is Andrew Weil so fat then if he? knows all this? LOL
How can a man in bad shape? talk about fat like this ?
Hey man, try 80/10/10 diet, you will find the truth !
@laceyluvslife He looks like he loves a bit of indulgence, but that doesn’t mean his understanding of physiology? isn’t spot on.
@Lochi801010 Get adequate essential fatty acids and fat soluable vitamins in correct ratios to nourish your brain, Durian Rider’s veil will be? lifted from your eyes and you’ll realise you’ve been blindly following a liar.
@Lakkhesis1976
You’re right ! You can find essential fatty acids in:
flaxseeds, hempseeds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, Brazil nuts, sesame seeds, avocados, some dark leafy green vegetables (kale, spinach, purslane, mustard greens, collards, etc.). Where is the problem ?
I’ve tried hundreds of diets and have been disappointed by 99% of them !
Raw Vegan gives me a lot of energy, -20lbs so far (only fat according to my scale)? and a clear mind !
How to reject such a gift ???
@Lochi801010 Like I said, get them? in correct ratios. Don’t care where you get them from.
Just got this guys book “Spontaneous Happiness.” Anyone that has this book let me know? what you think of it : )
I really like and respect Dr Weil..but what he is saying here is in direct conflict to Dr? Gerson, Dr Ornish, Dr Graham…about eating less then 10% of your calories in fat. Im more in line with what they say…lets look at nature…there is no fat trees growing. Carbs are foods. We can actually recreate our tastes buds to enjoy foods that are not fatty. This is crucial for folks to get healthier. I agree that he says that fat makes food taste better but we need to change that reality.
Fuck you Weil, why should we trust you,? YOU ARE FAT.
GO? VEGAN NOW
Damn, he has gone downhill! Notice the black backdrop against his black shirt to try blend in his overweight torso. It is a shame too, back when I was an omni a few years ago I trusted him. He gave some decent advice (it seemed anyway), some of which was not diet related:? like stop watching the news, SO effing right!!
But yeah, Andy, in order to be a health guru, you are going to have to prove what you say/do works and thus when we see you quite tubby like this it is not a good sign.
@Lakkhesis1976 “bit of indulgence??” Really? He is quite plump, obese in fact. He needs to lead by example if he wants to reestablish himself as a health guru. At this point we can pretty much write off his claims, or take them with a grain of raw sea salt.
“understanding of physiology isn’t spot? on” Well, either he’s wrong or he ignores his own advice,? thus a hypocrite or ignorant. Dr. Doug Graham is in pristine shape, living his own advice.
