IF YOU COULD DO US A MASSIVE FAVOUR AND LIKE the video 👍🏽 By doing that, you’re helping us out more than you know 🙏🏽 thank you

You know he's a real one when he answers with a lot of "it depends." This world doesn't need any more oversimplified and twisted truth. It needs more of these who are willing to explain the nuances AND the ones that are willing to listen.

I am 100% agree with Dr Yeo. The quality of food matters. I looked at what people in the "Blue Zone" areas eat for ideas. Liked recipes from mediterranean countries. Ate more veg, oily fish, pulses, seeds and fermented food. Didn't restrict. I lost 50kg over a year. I walked, did yoga and weight training to get fitter. I changed how I viewed food. Didn't beat myself up if I had a slice of cake. Because my weight loss was not linear. I focused on what food made me feel better. What is sustainable for me. What people need to realise is how personalised weight loss and getting healthier is. There is no 1 solution. You have to make the effort to find out what works for you.

When you eat depends a lot on the individual and your own particular lifestyle. Im 70 and retired. My day is my own. I find the best time for me to have my one meal of the day is around 3:30/4:00 which most working people cant do. I have a small snack with my morning coffee of a couple of bits of toast then nothing till 3:30/4:00. For me this prevents any indigestion or acid reflux that bothered me when I ate late at 7:30. Quality videos like from actual science based academics rather than air headed influencers are so important. Having the facts to enable informed decisions to be made is crucial. Im finding watching these videos is making a positive difference about how I live my life in what's its final stage. Never stop learning never stop keeping going.

An interesting comment on the gluten issue! We live in Canada, moved over from South Africa! Suddenly my daughter feels that she has a gluten issue. Tests show that she doesn’t have one, but she feels unwell for days even on a small amount. Doctor tells her she might be slightly intolerant. We visit the Uk, Italy and France, and she finds that she can eat anything made from European flour without it affecting her at all! My daughter did some research and discovered that Canada uses Monsanto pesticides on its crops. Monsanto is banned in Europe. She read about other people who were complaining of the same thing in Canada. This is anecdotal, but we think that she is allergic to the pesticide that is used in Canada. I’m wondering if there is a group of people in Canada who think that they have a gluten problem, when it is actually something else. I’m not sure why this issue only affects her with wheat and not other foods that are sprayed with this pesticide, but it is exciting for her that she can source wheat products from outside Canada that won’t harm her.

As an ''all or nothing'' kinda person, who struggles to find balance in anything, I find that fasting is the best diet for me. If I try starting the day with a large breakfast? Then I've opened the door to overeating before the end of the day, and increase my chances of craving sugar or binging. Fasting, to me anyways, is just a much easier way to control my caloric intakes.

Great interview!! My advice as a 64 year old woman. Do not ever slow down. All my life I was at a great weight. I had a job that was very physically taxing. I looked great untill I hit about 55. I was able to retire early and made the biggest mistake of my life. After being on my feet for so many years I decided to sit down in front of a computer for a year and do nothing. HUGE mistake. While sitting in front of computer I was snacking. Next thing I knew I was over weight and could hardly move. My doctor asked me what on earth happened to me? He told me then, that one of the worst things anyone could ever do is retire. He said more people have heart attacks the first year after retirement. So here I am now, very over weight. Take my advice. Never stop moving. If you must retire, find something to replace that activity with.

I could listen to this guy all day. I'm 100 pounds into my weight loss journey with another 50 or so to go. It's been a huge learning experience and really coming to understand what a calorie is and whether it matters more than another choice has been such a huge part of it. It's really not enough to just reduce the portions. I started feeling notably better and getting better tests when I focused on eating the right things, rather than just less of the things I liked. Fiber especially is such an underappreciated nuance in dietary needs. This is food for the mind.

Interviews like this make me want to be better student, to learn more and practice being better at life. So much knowledge.

Key Take aways: 16% of daily diet should contain proteins 30% Fiber 5% allowed for added sugars (not tied-up to fiber, e.g maple syrup, agave nectar) - Limit as much as you can. Exercise helps Maintain weightloss but not directly lead to weightloss. It is still important especially if protein intake is high (due to nitrogen build-up from protein metabolism injuring the kidneys). Don't overdo a specific diet or force it to someone because it can lead to Eating disorder. Fruit Juices are BAD as they are pure sugar and absorbed in the gut quickly, as opposed to eating fruits which triggers the whole process of digestion (chewing, swallowing, digesting and absorbing and so on). It's basically drinking high amount of Liquid sugar. FAT becomes dangerous when they start to leak out of the 'fat pockets' and reach the parts of the body where they're not supposed to be such as muscles and liver. His goal is to spread awareness about the importance of affordable healthy foods in curing obesity. He will not cancel Chocolates if he becomes a PM 😂

He is such a well-spoken, educated, sympathetic and inspirational guy. Just listening to him put a big smile on my face.

This is one of the most reasonable, intelligent, and non biased podcast I have ever heard... Tired of the keto promoters and vegan promoters taking lots of things in their own favor.. Thank You!!

Such a captivating interview. Absolutely new topic for me .. I left this interview more aware , educated & encouraged to live healthier & well self controlled life .

As someone who has suffered from disordered eating for over 10 years, I really appreciate the approach that was taken in discussing it in a non judgmental and educational way. I found this very helpful.

Dr Giles Yeo is not only extremely eloquent, wise, but he's a riot and mood to listen to. What a wonderful guest!

It is so nice and refreshing to hear a scientist who is so articulate and practical at the same time. Bravo to the both of you for a very nice job! Well done!

Thanks for a great interview! Your questions were well considered and spot on. Dr Yeo was so eloquent and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to watch, especially given the length of the interview. It was quite a validation for my thoughts and attitudes to diet and exercise. Often the big companies complicate it and it all becomes about making money. Let's not get started about politics and the lobby groups.I am 62 and for most of life have been committed to exercise and eating well. I do cardio (75-90 minutes per day; elliptical some days, spinning some days, walking everyday) and resistance training 3 days per week. Of course, the pandemic put a hold on things for a while, but once lockdowns were over, I was back in the gym the same day and built up my fitness again. I am as fit as I was in my 20s and 30s, training up to 12 hours per week. Most people think I am in my late 40s.I eat well and my weight is in the healthy range. Like mentioned in the interview, you have to use or lose it, and I too, want to be able to do everything I can. It's all about mindset. There is a wonderful Chinese saying I live by which is "how old would you be if you didn't know how old you were". So, for me, I still feel like I'm 23. I see so many people in their 60s and 70s and they look old and worn out. But in the gym I have friend who is 84, still lifts weight and looks 10-15 years younger and he still hits the ski slopes as well.

I love how excited he gets when you talk about the diets you have or are trying. He clearly loves what he does.

So damn positive the _whole_ way through. Wow. 2 hours of positivity _and_ tackling major issues of our time? Unheard of. You guys absolutely _nailed_ it.

I love this guy...I could listen to him 24 hours...and he is the reason I stopped fasting...but kept eating healty.

Took me months before I brought myself to watch this podcast…it’s so wholesome. I needed to see this today. Thanks Steve and Giles.

Amusing how plant diet has been switched from a traditionaly poor persons diet to a modern "privelaged" persons diet. 😅

Recap by Tammy AI with useful time stamps =)

I’ve never heard of Dr. Yeo, but what a delightful guest. An honest and realistic conversation! Thank you

Having just found your channel in the past month, I have been binge watching your videos. OMG I am awe struck! But this interview was by far the best one. Thank you for putting in so much thought and time to research and interview amazing people.

Dr. Yeo is such an incredible orator. I genuinely could listen to him explain these things all day long, he speaks in such an engaging manner.

The way a physician described it to me - your body’s current weight (whatever it is) is your base weight. When you lose weight - let’s say 50lbs - in order for your brain to accept that new weight as its base weight, you would need to maintain it for about 2 - 3yrs for the reason Dr. Yeo described in this discussion. Loved this dialogue, his spirit of teaching shows❤

This is my first time hearing Giles. Wow! So thankful! This was extremely relevant to me since I recently started watching some food documentaries and you are right, after you watch them you start to wonder what should you really eat, especially after watching those who tend to lean more towards veganism or raw. I loved what he had to say across the board because it all was scientific, sound and balanced. He gave information about calories, fat cells and so much that helped me to understand more how our bodies function and how we not all calories are created equal in regards to health and how our bodies absorb calories from foods. Thank you so much for sharing this podcast! It was amazing!!

Thank you for this podcast, a brilliant podcast through and through. So much knowledge was gained and with a positive mindset as well. My main takeaways: 1. 16% protein 30 gm of fibre, and 5% or less of "added sugar". 2. Exercise is good maintenance of weight for use regular Joe's and Joyce's of the world. 3. The more muscle mass(natural) you have/gain the more metabolism rate you will have/gain.

As a drug & alcohol counselor in recovery myself, I remind my clients that our substances of choice help us cope until they start to kill us. That’s where addiction starts. When Dr. Yeo said “this has kept us alive until it is killing us” about our access to food in general and also poor quality food, I heard that! Thank you for the excellent content!

My Dad is 86 and he still lifts weights and has never put on any weight. He is way healthier than most people I know, including me.

The best most informative interview I've listened to for a long time. Governments taking responsibility for making food healthier and cheaper should be a major priority.

Dr Giles is so personable and down to earth. And I love how he breaks down all the science but doesn’t make absolutes. I hear a lot of “it depends” vs “do this only” or “calories in, calories out”

This is by far the most respectful, intelligent, well-prepared and thought out interview that I've ever seen on UKposts and I watched all one hour and fifty minutes of it. Loved every second of it, very informational and to the point. Dr Giles Yeo definitely has some great answers and I learned a lot from it.

Giles is so engaging, and relatable, and I could listen to him for hours. Best one yet.

This channel is one of the most intellectually rewarding one on the internet! The amount of knowledge per minute spent is amazing. Keep it up!

This content is sensational. Im battling through bulimia recovery still after many years. All the conflicting diet info makes it even harder! Being both below and above our homeostatic weight range have severely negative consequences to holistic health. Navigating the world of nutrition is chaotic, confusing and consciously all consuming!! Thankyou for sharing such valuable information!!

Quotes and notes from the podcast: 1. Most non-infectious diseases are caused by a bad diet! (Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, some cancers) 2. There is no single right diet, you need to find the right diet for yourself. It has to fit biologically, psychologically and lifestyle-wise. Otherwise, you will never stick to it and make it worth it!

Weight loss starts in the mind, control the mind, and the body will follow. I was 130kg and went to 93kg. It's a psychological change first.

Thank you for an intelligent, science based, humorous and thoughtful conversation with your esteemed guest…. I am grateful as I navigate my weight loss journey as a 62 year old woman. I would also like to recommend another accomplished person, Mindy Pelz, who is an author and health practitioner and utube educator. Dr Mindy opened my world to understanding hormones, post menopause and weight loss. Thanks again and keep doing what you’re doing!

Amazing guest. Hugely likeable, engaging, knowledgeable, and fun. The type of person the world needs more of. I also like the way you let your guests speak without interruption. Great interview. Thank you

I am surprised by how accurate this scientist is. Virtually all nutrition advice on the internet is wrong or misleading but this guy really nails so many issues accurately. I have a PhD in nutrition and have a real difficult time finding anything that is not misleading- but this guy is very informed and provides useful information. Anyone who wants to learn nutrition should follow this scientist.

Tim Spector and Giles Yeo - What a combination?! I watched both podcasts one after the other in that order and I'm flashed. The combination is a real blast. Giles is an incredible speaker. I especially enjoyed listening to him. His energetic delivery not only entertained me, but kept my attention throughout the podcast. Thank you so much! I'm completely blown away.

Hi, after watching health and diets videos for many years (and practicing different methods) finally I find ONE rational, logical doctor to explain with an open mind, a profound knowledge with clear logic and common sense. Salute and respect to both of you for this masterpiece. Dr. Giles Yeo you are a lighthouse for health seekers.

This was a wonderfully delightful discussion to watch. This is the first of your videos I've seen. I love love love to hear reason used. I learned so much! Thank you for your work.

I have never stayed watching for two hours on any video on youtube ever. This is was a very mind opening talk and Giles has been been a wonderful guest. The back and forth was also both funny and entertaining. There were many things discussed that were so expertly but simply discussed that my muggle brain just ate it up. Thank you Dr Yeo for doing what you do. You will save a lot of lives. And also many thanks for not cancelling chocolate altogether. 😅

I lost weight by not eating after my last meal of the day (which stopped evening emotional snacking), stopped all refined sugar, stopped processed food, reduced the carbs a little bit, and stopped alcohol. Stopping alcohol feels great and like cutting off a ball and chain.

This the probably the sincerest way I have seen for asking a subscription for a UKposts channel. You got a new subscriber sir, 2.5 minutes in. Good job! Keep 'em podcasts coming.

I discovered this podcast a couple of months ago and my only regret is not finding it sooner. Amazing work.

At 60, I have been reborn!! I literally cleaned my house listening to this whole podcast! LOL!! I have never heard anything more practical, non-preachy and sensible in my life regarding the food we eat. Thank you so much Dr. Yeo for helping me enter my third chapter. I DO want to walk those damn stairs for the next 20 years of my life. Resistance training it is and here is to a happier and non punishing relationship with food. I would, however like to mention that exercise can improve mental health and increase endorphins, so, just as you mentioned, exercise alone may not make huge differences on the scale (if you do not eat in a more healthy way), it can improve mental health and ones outlook on life.

I am normally not a podcast listener, but your style of interviewing as well as the quality of the guest and your questions really shows how prepared and engaged you are. I truly enjoyed watching/listening to the entire thing. It was overall very well done as well as very informative

Never heard of this doctor and I will follow him now! What am amazing interview. He's so easy to speak to, with a healthy dose of humor. Would love a sit down with someone like this!

The chemistry between you two is amazing; like two old friends sharing info. Also, this was packed with meaningful information. THANK YOU. Sincerely.

yes, we can eat in moderation from all food groups: meat, dairy, eggs, fish, fruits, vegetables, healthy oils , seeds, legumes, grains, salt... raw or cooked but not overly processed . This is my experience as well; it is difficult to be fanatical about a fad diet, stick to common sense and eat sensibly with gratitude. Thank you for this very balanced discussion. Do not be carried away when people dictate how and what you should eat. I adjust the food groups according to how my body responds. All the different diet fads, there is some truth to it, so pick the meat and spit the bones as it were.

Honestly I watched this entire podcast and wondered where you've been all this time! I'm so glad I discovered you. I could have listened to you and Dr. Yeo for a much longer period of time. Thank you both for enlightening the public with facts and doing so in such an interesting and entertaining fashion.

I've been studying food for the last 10 years and this blew my socks off! So much confirmed and I learned more than I thought.

Absolutely nuggets of wisdom. The information is no BS, honest and direct. Dr Giles Yeo is brilliant and down-to-earth..Fabulous

In my 60's I lost 50 lbs using the Keto Diet. I was about 150lb in my early 20's. I am back there again. I was not a perfectionist at Keto. When out for dinner with others I ate high carbs at times. I heard and believe that it is not what you do once in a while that helps or harms. It is what you do most of the time.

I so agree with the part of absolutely needing to retain muscle mass as you enter your 60’s and 70’s. I am 67 and feel the loss of muscle mass has been my biggest challenge. I am desperately needing to exercise to increase my muscle mass. I have started to fall more in the past few years due to less muscle mass. I am my own test person. I will increase my muscle mass.

This was a fantastic interview. I've already got his book and looking forward to reading it. Thank you! Glad I clicked on this.

I like Steven because he lets the guest speak freely without interrupting & asks great questions. 👏👏👏

I truly enjoyed listening to Dr. Giles Yeo. I appreciate him spreading his truth and knowledge on a subject that the average individual would only receive from a nutritionist or trainer if they paid for it. Truly, truly appreciate the time spent discussing the science behind genetics and weight gain/loss. Thank you! Subscribed.❤

I am really appreciating listening to the increasing frequency of relatively popular male podcasters talking openly about their concerns with weight gain and the dietary restrictions they impose on themselves as a means to address these concerns. This has largely been depicted as a female disposition, but I am learning that is far from reality. At least for the modern man (well represented by those who would be considered successful). This was fantastic nuanced discussion that underscores the importance of quality over quantity when it comes to nutrition, as well as the diversity of the types of food that can provide quality nutrition.

Brilliant! Subscribed straight away and now off to purchase Doctor Giles books! Thank you so much for sharing ❤

Dr. Giles was an absolutely delightful, fun and insightful guest. First podcast I watched in its entirety.

This man needs to be celebrated! This is the most enlightening, entertaining, and engaging video I’ve ever watched on UKposts!

He’s so right about the ‘default factor’. If the food industry would just do this very simple suggestion, imagine how healthy we COULD be.

so glad to have found this awesome podcast! thank you for creating it and being you.

Such a great guest, great style of explanation, great approach of delivering information. On the other side again a great presenter, interviewer. this interview really is great. Thank you both for it! :)

I absolutely love your channel!! I stumbled across it accidentally, but I’m so glad I did. I love that you asked questions that pertain to you, because 99.9% are generally going through the same or some similar experience. I appreciate your approach, and your vulnerability. It makes such a big difference in connecting to you and your channel.❤

This video exemplifies a magnificent amount of brilliance. We have one guy explaining everything very well and another guy asking excellent questions. 2 very knowledgeable gentlemen.

they’re real, they’re honest, they’re interesting to watch, they’re funny but still respectful towards each other and the viewers. Thank you!

Such an informative interview! Thanks to you both 🙏🏾

Great conversation. It's great to hear in-depth discussions on anything, there's far too little of it in these days of social media soundbites. For me, I've put on 20 pounds since leaving school 50 years ago, but still have a BMI of 22 so don't try too hard to shed it. > Most people want to cut fat / lose weight. People should instead concentrate on muscle/fat ratio - "I want to have better muscle mass ratio next week/month". That's the way to get to & maintain a healthy weight. Just be active, stay off the couch - it doesn't need gym sessions.

This is an amazing podcast. I’m 52 and was told by my doctor that I had to lose weight because of my liver and if I don’t lose weight she would put me on medication. So I have been walking on a treadmill to get me active since my job is sedentary. I’ve learned so much during this conversation and feel much less confused. Thank you both.

I began a keto and intermittent fasting regimen simultaneously, which helped me achieve my desired weight loss. After six months, I’ve reintroduced more carbohydrates into my diet, while still adhering to intermittent fasting, and my weight has remained stable. Over time, I’ve adapted to the hunger, and it’s no longer a concern. I used to snack excessively before this, and I’m grateful that habit is behind me. I now feel significantly healthier and more content.

Wow what an open minded scientist! I wish more teachers and researchers had this mindset. His personally is infectious

Dr. Giles Yeo is a legend. This interview was fantastic and truly so informative. Thank you for sharing.

When two good people with such beautiful intentions sit down together, it's a great treat! And Giles you have a wonderful soul and I'm so glad you are doing society such a big big favour by sharing with us your privileged mind and showing us the positivity of so many aspects of who we are and how food can play an important role in our lives, the best medicine indeed!! You sure make the best of the different worlds! May you be blessed all the way❤

Such a great interview. Yes for such a balanced,sensible expert! Thankyou.

I was hoping to hear a lot of hard scientific data but I heard a lot of philosophically motivated advice.

This is the second interview I have watched on your channel, and I subscribed on this one. The great radio broadcaster, Hugh Hewitt, said, "Good interviewers ask short questions, and let their subjects speak." You're a natural. Well done. Looking forward to more from your channel.

From 2000 on, I went from 115lb to 129lb. Retired in 2021, and lost 10 lbs by lowering carbohydrates. I am happy with my 120lbs at 64 years old. Eating less, and being stress free is the key.

I went on keto for 12 weeks and lost 34 pounds. I stopped 2 years ago, because I was bored with eating the same thing all the time, I thought I was eating too much Sodium, and I thought I wasn't getting enough fiber. I've gained back slightly less than half the wight (16 lbs), and getting ready to go back on a low-carb, IF diet, in the hopes of developing a healthy way of eating that I can sustain.

I could listen to Dr Yeo all day.

Incredible interview! You ask such thoughtful questions. You’re very intuitive, inquisitive and engaged as an interviewer. It didn’t even feel like an interview, which is a hard skill to master. I would love to hear more conversations like this. Just gained a new follower!

Steven Bartlett is seriously impressive. So articulate and thoughtful. And by my reckoning a really decent and good human being. And so is this chap, Giles Yeo! Thank you for this podcast!

Wonderful, informative interview. Dr. Yeo is fantastic personally and professionally.

Loved this talked, so grounded, honest and still non-judgmental...! Thank you

At 66 I have been on every diet until 10 years ago. I no longer need to diet, except after a vacation! I now have meat ,vegetables and my home made 100% whole grain bread, and lots of good olive oil, nuts and avocados - things I avoided because they are so "fattening". I finally found an activity that I enjoy, which I feel has helped enormously. Dr Yeo has answered so many questions I have had over the years. What a pleasure it was to meet him. He is truly inspiring. Brilliant interview. Thank you to both.

Love this interview and dialogue. Steve made it relatable because he basically fielded questions that we ourselves want to ask and based on his own personal experience. The length may be off-putting for some due to time constraints but the time stamps are useful and the content is engaging enough to make you watch uninterrupted. Shared with friends and family. Subscribed, thank you!

Thank you both for having this poignant conversation about the current state of human health. Past 3 decades, I have warned my family and friends. Foods in our grocery stores have been declining since the inception of McDevils and the like, money is more important than people sadly. The food and beverage industries require a severe overhaul to do exactly what Mr. Yeo suggests here. It was a pleasure listening to like minds. Peace❤ Teresa & Jon #FORTHEPEOPLE #MORALANDSVALUESREVOLUTION

I THROUGHLY enjoyed listening to his articulation on all food topics! This was so nice, and your questions were also very good at getting all of the topics across!

I had never heard of Dr Yeo prior to this podcast. Such an animated, interesting and honest discussion. I felt as if I was in the room with you two. Yeo’s point about how we need to have more nuanced views and approaches to things is so refreshing. We desperately need that in this era. Common sense, practicality, and real science are a combo that should always win, yet so rarely does. Thank you so much for this quality podcast. It is what led me to join. Kudos.

I was very fortunate to have been lectured by Dr Giles Yeo at Cambridge and so many things he said have stuck with me for life!

Brilliant interview. I will implement most of what I've heard. Thank you so much for the information.

I really enjoyed this episode so informative so relatable and totally applicable to our every day lives .

Giles is so interesting to listen to. He explains his subject matter in an engaging manner. He got me to look into the importance of protein intake and what the body needs to do to break it down. Fabulous method of imparting knowledge. 🔥

This podcast is absolutely fantastic. I don’t think I’ve ever learnt so much about my weight loss journey. Thanks Steven

The point about caloric availability is mind blowing! Completely changes the way I think about calorie labels. With so much caloric range, it really drives home the point that nitpicking numbers are not that important, and that choosing overall healthier foods will make a bigger difference.
