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

I was told by more than one personal trainer that 80% of weight loss is about what you eat, not how much you exercise. Completely true in my case. I had both of my arthritic hips replaced this year and lost 30+ pounds by abstaining from all my sugary junk food and desserts. I am a reformed sugar addict.

Implementing your talk, I have lost 8 kg in 3 months by having breakfast and lunch before 2 pm and an hour of walking before breakfast. Tx so much 🙏🏻

In all seriousness, this is the only lifestyle change that has ever worked for me. Five months ago I stopped eating after 2pm. I’ve lost 30 lbs since then and the weight just keeps coming off. If I manage my calories closely then I lose weight even faster. It’s the first time in my life that such a simple change has allowed me to lose weight (I’m 52 yrs old). I believe this will allow me to lose another 30 lbs which would put me right around my ideal weight some time over the next year. If I had known such a simple change could make such a big difference, I would have done it years ago. I don’t know if it works this well for everyone, but I’m grateful I learned about it, even if a bit late in life.

The sooner you start the more your future self will thank you.

My highest weight was 276 lbs in 2016. Today I'm 219 lbs and 57 lbs down. I'm not done yet though I still have 50 to lose.

It is so sad I self destructed my body by eating so unhealthy. 66 years old, my sugar is high, I am now on track to do better. I can go on and on, but always being a fighter, I will do better because I want to live in my 90's. If I am able to refrain from drug use for 33 years, this is just a new beginning of a more beautiful life. Thank you all for your loving support. Blessings 🌟 🤩 ⭐️

I'd listened this talk in Feb2020 and tried according to him - no eating after 2 pm, workout/run/walk nearly everyday. I lost 8.4 kg (from 60kg to 51.6 kg) in 3 months. I am only 5' 2" tall and not overweight, but more on chubby side. This is considered a lot for me. And within 10 years, this is my best weight. I really appreciate that you gave me motivation and changed my life. I'll do this as a lifestyle. 💪

Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, (and dinner like a pauper). Yes, this is 3 meals a day but it does work. Mediterranean is my eating pattern of choice. I learned a lot from this talk.

Step 1: Skip Dinner but eat a big nutritious breakfast and lunch (people skip breakfast all the time when they should be skipping dinner) Step 2: Try to exercise before breakfast Step 3: Get up earlier and go to bed earlier

I never heard the concept explained this way. Makes perfect sense. I retired in Dec of 2021. I gained a few pounds but not a great deal. My gain was in the year or so prior to retirement doing exactly opposite of the advice given here. Time to start walking before breakfast ! Thanks Doc !!!

*Goal setting *Mental rehearsal (visualization) *Self talk *Arousal control

Along these lines, what has really worked for me is managing my sleep, and when I get up. During covid, I started working totally from home, so I’d roll out of bed barely in time for my first 8am meeting every day. But I got tired of giving my best time to my employer (who squandered it on meetings), so I started getting up at 6am, using the two hours I got back to journal and exercise. I started doing Couch25k once spring weather started, so now I either run or bike every morning - both moderate-intensity cardio. Combined with some diet changes, I’m losing a steady four pounds a month. I’m now down 20, with a long-term goal of losing 70 total.

7:19 when data goes into detail. When to eat & navy seal training. Just note for myself for later. Thank u. 4am work out (bike) 6am eat 1pm eat 2pm, eat nothing till next day. Only 2 cold glasses of water. Navy Seal training: 1. Goal setting 2. Mental rehearsal & visualization 3. Self-Talk 4. Arousal control 3* reLabel, reFrame, reFocus, reValue Goals, weekly, lbs/months :achievable *prayer, gratitude, change circumstances, call a friend. *share with others

Exercise in the morning first thing in morning has changed my life for the better, thank you Errol

Love the psychology elements of losing weight and keeping it off!

I lost 7 lbs one time. (gained it back) I was of course drinking more water. I ate only in the morning and evening before 7pm. I ate balanced meals and ate more vegetables when I got hungry. My preference was a salad during hunger spikes. I skipped lunch altogether. My OBGYN told me lunch is the most unnecessary meal of the day. I was doing H.I.I.T workouts 2 - 3 times a week. I was losing weight but building muscle. It was an amazing 2 weeks of looking great and having so much energy.

I love how simplistic he makes it. I’m motivated now. I think I can stick to this.

I went low carb 5 years ago and still can’t believe the quality of my life today in middle age. I don’t ever tell anyone IRL what my “secret” is because I no longer want to hear how much people can’t give up their pastries or pasta or pizza. I’ve never enjoyed food so much or thought about it less.

I did a 100 day journey to better health physically mentally spiritually and emotionally. My medical doctors kept prescribing me western medicines. I reversed all of that - diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I’m 57 and stretch daily. No heavy exercising. I’m also plant based vegan. I’ll continue to listen 👂🏽

Excellent presentation! This man really shares important secrets that few people know their importance...
