Intuitive VS. Mindful Eating

in my opinion intuitive eating is good but only for people who are not severely overweight or underweight i have lost over 30kgs and after that i had a hard time eating normally and not restricting too much. Now i eat when i want and whatever and just try to make sure its overall balanced with some treats here and there

Coach greg is a lifestyle

Hey coach Greg! Just wanted to say I really appreciate these videos about diet, nutrition, training how to‘s etc. They’re much more useful to me than natty or not videos since I have no idea who most of the people are (although I still play them in the background when I’m cooking/cleaning). Even though these videos don’t get as many views I’m grateful you still do them to educate others. Thank you!!

Thanks for the information Coach!! Really insightful.

I love you Greg best fitness/nutrition coach/doctor

Cakes and pizzas - my kryptonite. Here's something about intuitive eating. I observe it every day and envy. My wife is intuitive eater. Put cake or pizza in front of her. She loves both but she just knows when to stop. I can't even imagine how it works. It's not like she stops herself from eating high calorie food while the craving is still there. It's her brain stopping her from overeating in the right moment. The craving is gone and she doesn't feel like she wants more. Large pizza? A single slice is enough. Cake? She rarely finishes a slice. She eats all the delicious foods, doesn't care about calories because her "factory settings" prevent overeating. On the other hand, put a pizza in front of me. I will eat everything and better it's not a buy-2-for-1 deal. It's just unstoppable craving in my brain and I need lots of will power to fight it. My wife is not the only intuitive eater I know. I know a few such people and I really envy. I think it only means that their bodies work properly. I'm on the other side of the spectrum - formerly-obese compulsive overeater. I can't eat without logging food into MFP (using it for a couple of years now). Intuitive eating exists but only a handful of people is capable of make it working.

The angels singing everytime the cookbook is shown. Lol

To answer your question, yes ally does look very good.

You're the best.

10:02 rapping harder than last time

The insane amount of information in this video alone shouldnt be free lol

Grandma Josephine feeling guilty and pushing some more cake on us, to get forgiven. 😂

Can't hear your intuition if you are not mindful....

Yum

I learn so much from this kind of video's so thank you so much i know you dont get enough views but thank for doing them it show that you care thank doc

Another great video, thanks 💪🏻👍🏻

That was good stuff man

What's the origin of Greg's "we are all circles"?

Forgot I changed the speed to 2.0 and legit thought you talked like that 😂

I've come to the point where if I want to eat something, I have the voice of Coach Greg either yell, or applaud me for what I want to eat, and I go from there. I guess that's my mindful eating.

hold up now we're getting into epistemology. why did those things taste good as a baby? did they actually taste good and you knew they tasted good? or was it just what was put in front of a baby?

I find that I have to eat a ton of food to maintain my physique. I’m around 15 - 20 body fat but I eat like an animal. And I’d say I probably get 4000 to 5000 calories a day. When I don’t eat that much, I start to lose weight. So much so that the quarantine had a opposite affect on me. I was staying inside and eating slightly less than I would normally.

Damn Greg putting your gf on the grill 😂 what she do to deserve that Greg 😂

mindful eating AKA being a responsible adult

I just got a chance to hear you talk for the first time about something that was not a ridiculous drama video. I'll admit I was wrong with my first impression. Subscribed. I hate eating and tire of jamming food down my throat. I hope to get some ideas from you. I'm to old to keep up like I am. I need a change.

I eat when I am hungry. But I pick healthy, low-calorie food. Great video!!!

Brilliant video, coach! Happy new year!

7:26 enderman

I think I just gained respect for you for going against that annoying phrase concerning insanity.

Greg more pumped than last time in this video.

If I eat low calorie dense foods and only eat till I'm about 90% as full as I want to be it is extremely easy to lose weight.

Down to 165 pounds again at 6 feet tall! Just thinking calories in and out, but without extensive jogging for 45 minutes this time!. I just take 1 hour walks to 1½ hours and keep meals small but satisfied. works super awesome and enjoying it this year. Thanks Greg for all support from your videos even if you dont know me but I wanted to tell you they mean alot to me and every weekends that comes up that yay Coach Greg friday, and im motivated for weekend too! :D I dont need to kill myself anymore to drop weight I can do it joyfully and like it and I can make it last now, well my body adapted and lasted last time but now I can do it in a more peacefull way, well I just know what I do now is working great and you help motivate me to take the long run and not dropping it all in 2 months and feel crap :)

It didn't take years for me doc, I watched your videos and instantly became a mindful eater.

We can be mindful while intuitively eating and not eat pizza and burgers all the freaking time.

Man gaining till 2021 🤨

Coach greg is the only person that can lowkey just call his wife obese..😂

How many circles were at the party?

Greg I appreciate you not yelling this whole video, much easier to enjoy on behalf of me and many other PTSD sufferers

Does it make sense to intermittent fast since we are not evolved to have food always available and are able to naturally adapt to periods without eating?

I like a combination of those: mindful intuit eating is the best, if you have some nutrition knowledge you can...

That girty snort 🤣

Intuitive eating works fine if you’re a caveman with nothing around but fruit and deer meat. Different story when we have multinational corporations chemically designing food to be addicting

I totally agree with this. I mindfully eat and choose to make the right food choices to assist my performance in the gym, to feel less sluggish and more energetic and the physique just follows. If you eat the right foods. Eat good volume so your not hungry and craving junk or even if you do want to eat junk your so filled up you won't spiral out of control when you do have few handfuls cause you are so full already. Eat low calorie, nutrient dense foods your physique will follow and you can most of all maintain it.

I struggle to lose weight but with the help of coach Greg I struggle to gain to much unwanted weight. Every once and a while I say fuck it and eat a shit ton or as much as I can and I dont gain to much but I eat only healthy and low calorie and its genuinely fun to me, and if I'm not injured I'll bike half of it off usually(also fun) but sooner or later I'll actually get serious and cut down burned of now I'm happy and 140-155

Greg, you’re putting out too many videos and that’s why your views are going down. We can’t keep up.

12:00 i thought the 95% was awrong lable put out all the time

how the check is Ally 37% bf

Well you'll go to hell if you eat pork 😂

Greg intuitive eating has way more to it than eating whatever you want whenever you want, i recommend reading the book

im sorry how tf is she 37%, looks about 25% imo

best video ever more information than last time

To be honest , I own Coach Greg’s cookbook. I’ve only used a couple of the recipes to try. They were great, but I just use the cook book and a guide or idea book to help me create my own meals.

Mindful eating is what helped me lose 25kg. If I had done keto or sth it would've probably gone faster (it's been two years so far), then again, restricting is nothing I can maintain. What's really amazing though, is the more I learned about nutrition and how I can substitute and make healthy and fresh food taste really good, the lesser I actually crave junk food. As you said, it's a process and it takes time, but this may be the only diet that can prevent you from bouncing right back to obesity.

Been noticing that as a woman my hormones change. A week before our "hellweek" you get more hungry and according to some articles I read you can eat between 100 to 300 kcal more at this time. Don't know if this is true but I eat more at that week because I listen to my body and gain no weight. After that I eat normal again. So sorta intuitive eating :p

Can i eat intuvitevly if i snort protein powder?

atm im mastering my dieting i mean im getting more creative with my meals healthy and i use my brain and i make pretty good healthy anabolic stuff tasty to might have a go soon on ur cook book but in uk can we get all the products??????

you’re videos are so informative oh my gosh bro thankyou so much

Bro you’re literally the best fitness youtuber out here

Man I’m happy theirs coach Greg in this world

I thought I intuitively ate but no I mindfully eat without even knowing it.

A lot of great points made here! MADD respect Dr Greg! I feel it’s more than plugging in the meals tho. Knowledge is what makes this sustainable. Too much info to cover in one video tho. Can’t wait for the next one.

7:25 🤣🤣🤣

Well made video. Seriously.

One of the best videos by Greg! So good

I thought he edited those pig noises in because the way most people choose to eat but then I realized that's his pig

Is Ally really 37% body fat? That sounds dangerously obese yet she does not look dangerously obese, let alone obese, just not lean.

When you've been watching Dr. Greg for a while and think oh cool I'll learn something new, but then you realize this video is just a long comercial for selling his book 😂 Love the content anyway 😁

What if your parents don't let you mindful eat

I ended up intuitively binging every time I’ve tried intuitive eating.

I was not prepared for the ratio of explaining to yelling in this video.

I eat intuitively and weigh 50kg all the time. It’s good for people who don’t binge and are in tune with their bodies

Not the hero we deserve, but the hero we need

I know a little about nutrition, thanks to hundreds of coach’s videos I’ve watched. Still trying to upgrade from moron status.

I watched this while eating

I still don't get what is mindfully eating

"2 boys and 5 girls, that sounds like a good party." - Greg Doucette, 2020

Ally doesn't seem like 37% body fat, I would guess she is 25%, apparently I'm wrong

This was a lot more interesting and insightful than the title suggested, for me at least!

oink oink

I absolutely LOVE his cookbook ... so delicious I don't know what to cook first :o I'm so happy I bought it. And I eat vegan ... all included there.

Right babe ?

1:03 thanks for making my day better

You're talking like Bob proctor Doc..

Wait allys considered obese? What?

If she is “obese” then 99% of all women are severely obese.

Yeah I was unaware at the time but I'm pretty sure intuitive eating got me up to 230+lbs in Highschool. There where too many times where I felt endlessly hungry.

"What am I gonna do?"

wait weren't you in quarantine greg? now don't go spreadin that virus boi

Thanks 💪

When I ate intuitively through about 2010, I was involved in a TON of cardio. I stayed lean. At age 37 with two kids, if I are like that now, I'd be a fucking house. So I eat mindfully. It was about a five year education process, but now I don't need to track and record nutrition any more.

The term "mindful eating" is referring to a specific style of eating where you eat slowly and basically meditate on your food, and this gives your satiety signals time to reach your brain so you put the fork down sooner. I'm also fairly sure that "intuitive eating" originally referred to intuitively understanding what your body needed by paying attention to specific cravings and finding a healthy choice that satisfied that need so you wouldn't just eat garbage. All these terms get co-opted to mean whatever people want, though, so whatever.

She's not obese

Hey Greg great video, just not a fan of the part where you talked about a shortcut and then advertised your cookbook. I agree that your cookbook is dope, I own it, I just don't like that kind of predatory advertising language that literally any supplement or diet company will do where they advertise themselves as the latest 'shortcut'. Cheers mate!

benching 405 is quite insane tho

Coach Greg is using the much-requested "voice from 1 year ago" that's less a shout but projects more than a conversational tone. Great modulation!

great

I intuitively ate a whole giant toblerone bar last night 🤦‍♂️

I love best this educacional videos you make. Thank you coach 💕

Hey coach, can you make a cookbook for people that want to bulk up without force feeding? Would really be appreciated as I'm struggling to get my calories in.

I'm here to help 🤫😶😐
