Feeling down? Insecure? Lonely?

Personal Spotify playlist

From Lizzo, Demi Lovato, Beyonce, and Jessie J to Andra Day and P!nk - these songs help me feel more comfortable in my skin when I am insecure

Music is therapeutic. Science supports this. Listening to positive, empowering songs can help release "feel good chemicals" in your brain (neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine) when your mood needs an extra boost. 

Tip: blasting these songs on a device with a strong bass hits the spot.

The Science Behind My “All In” Journey: How Hunger & Fat Gain Works

I hope this gives you a better idea of how I expect my "all in" process to work for me. As I say in the video, I'm not trying to say that everyone should do this, I'm just explaining to you why I've decided to take on the journey, FOR ME! I'm just sharing my journey and sharing what I've learned along the why. I love you guys to the moon and back, thank you for sticking with me 🙏 And I want to give a big thank you to Kayla and Alice for sending me pictures to use for this video, they have amazing YouTube channels so check them out!

Before I do, I want to acknowledge there are so many better experts in this field out there, particularly those in larger bodies who have lived experience with weight stigma. While I am privileged enough to have a voice here on youtube, I feel strongly it’s important to hear their voices and learn from their extensive knowledge. In today’s video, I’ll be answering these questions: Will IE help me lose weight? Does IE mean I can eat cake a and fries all day, err day and be healthy? Can you eat intuitive if you are in a larger body or have an eating disorder? Does health at every size mean you can gain as much weight as you want, or lose as much weight as you want, and be healthy? Why did you say that obesity is a bad word? I feel ADDICTED to food. How can I possibly engage with intuitive eating? If IE does not result in weight loss, what are the benefits? Isn’t being obese bad for your health? Don’t these people need to lose weight? And finally – How is thin privilege real when you work out and eat healthy and a fat person does not? I need you all to understand that despite what your favourite YouTuber is doing, or how much or how little they’re eating, or what foods they’re cutting out, that this isn’t the only way to be healthy. Only you know your body’s true needs. You don’t need to change your body, and no one should tell you that you do. I’ll be diving more into this in my upcoming intuitive eating series which ill be starting in a few weeks but until then, just know that I’m simply trying to dispel myths, denounce diet culture in general, and neutralize the language we use around food.

What's Really Making Us Fat? Carbs? Sugar? (Joe Rogan Response) ft. Stephan Guyenet

What's Really Making Us Fat? Carbs? Sugar? (Joe Rogan Response) ft. Stephan Guyenet

In this video I'm speaking with Dr. Stephan Guyenet about the science behind what is driving fat gain. We also cover the "is a calorie a calorie" question, address the role of sugar/carbs in obesity and diabetes and the role of the brain in regulating all of this. This interview was recorded just after the debate on the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast (JRE) between Gary Taubes and Stephan Guyenet, which you can listen to here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vA3QavPp1Ho Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro and topics summary 1:44 - Joe Rogan's podcast has a negative bias toward carbs 3:54 - Cliffs notes summary of Gary Taubes and Stephan's positions 7:25 - Is Gary's or Stephan's model the "mainstream" scientific model of weight gain? 12:20 - Is the calories in/calories out (CICO) model of weight gain correct? 17:02 - Is tracking calories or "eating less and moving more" the best way to implement weight loss? 23:22 - What does the science say about calories in/calories out? 28:54 - "Is a calorie a calorie?" discussion 38:22 - Why do some people gain fat more easily than others? 45:27 - Is there anything "different" about the brains of obese people? 47:06 - What is the role of sugar in driving fat gain, obesity and diabetes? 58:53 - Is sugar addictive? 1:03:39 - What are the practical takeaways for avoiding obesity or losing weight?

TikTok's Toxic Diet Culture Needs to be Stopped

I've been asked to take a look through the diet + weight loss content on TikTok so many times recently. Social media is full of scams and hearsay and I hope this video's a little reminder to show love to anyone online who might be struggling and point them towards qualified voices: Registered Dietitians and Medical Doctors. For science-based home and gym workout programmes to build muscle, lose fat, or get athletic, my training + nutrition guides approved by a world-leading nutrition expert behind the British Olympic team are available on www.natachaoceane.com ❤️ —————————————————————————————— My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natacha.oceane/ —————————————————————————————— My video on the science of why restrictive diets fail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTpjQs0atxs A few of my favourite papers assessing the impact of undernutrition on health and the effectiveness of a highly restrictive diet on long term weight loss (there are lots more but I am hitting YouTube’s word limit! ☹️) * https://www.researchgate.net/publication/325536514_Low_energy_availability_surrogates_correlate_with_health_and_performance_consequences_of_Relative_Energy_Deficiency_in_Sport * https://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/Fulltext/2007/10000/The_Female_Athlete_Triad.26.aspx * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4951875/pdf/624.pdf * https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/52/11/687 * https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/12/3/835 * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2895000/ * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2720870/ * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6251190/ * https://academic.oup.com/pch/article/9/7/487/2648606 * https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/6163/23c6089e51428efe02b25ea644cf7f4741d1.pdf * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4207953/pdf/40618_2014_Article_169.pdf * https://www.clinicaltherapeutics.com/article/S0149-2918(20)30052-7/pdf * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7053439/pdf/JCRPE-12-18.pdf * https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/bjsports/52/11/687.full.pdf * https://reader.elsevier.com/reader/sd/pii/S2468867319300458?token=16F8E25BB8AAA2D834D571A2C82FBFE491917FE486FF75380C8E44362DC7D4FFFBCF2D9AB82AE4AB1FF7C8D0EFC43602 * https://ebn.bmj.com/content/ebnurs/3/3/88.full.pdf * https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/6163/23c6089e51428efe02b25ea644cf7f4741d1.pdf * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5568065/ * https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27136388/ * https://www.dishlab.org/pubs/2013%20Compass.pdf * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12079865 * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4069066/ * https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1038/oby.2006.275 * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4766925/ * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5756630/pdf/in_vivo-31-1047.pdf * https://www.researchgate.net/publication/5950331_Ghrelin_obesity_and_diabetes * https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1550413118301190 * https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212877815000605 * https://www.jneurosci.org/content/jneuro/30/48/16399.full.pdf * https://jissn.biomedcentral.com/track/pdf/10.1186/1550-2783-11-7 * https://journals.physiology.org/doi/pdf/10.1152/ajpregu.00192.2009 * https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1038/oby.2012.34 * https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/D6D0B3464F524B8D29A7C6D5AFF111F0/S0007114501001234a.pdf/evidence_for_the_existence_of_adaptive_thermogenesis_during_weight_loss.pdf * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5839290/ If you’re interested in the interviews with RDs and MDs about lemon water, ACV, cayenne pepper etc below are some examples (I haven’t found any rigorously conducted and peer reviewed scientific literature into this, which says something already!) * https://time.com/collection/guide-to-weight-loss/4701447/lemon-water-weight-loss/ * https://www.netdoctor.co.uk/healthy-eating/a22886377/lemon-water-health-benefits/ * https://www.insider.com/does-drinking-lemon-water-really-work-2018-11#myth-lemon-water-will-help-speed-up-your-weight-loss-efforts-1 * https://www.telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness/nutrition/diet/benefits-apple-cider-vinegar-weight-loss/ * https://www.telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness/nutrition/diet/benefits-apple-cider-vinegar-weight-loss/ * https://www.everydayhealth.com/diet-nutrition/diet/apple-cider-vinegar-nutrition-facts-health-benefits-risks-more/ * https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/apple-cider-vinegar-diet-does-it-really-work-2018042513703 * https://www.self.com/story/diet-tips-you-should-ignore * https://www.abbeyskitchen.com/nutrition-how-speed-your-metabolism-dietitians-review-common/ * https://www.chatelaine.com/health/diet/weight-loss-myths-fad-diets-debunked/ * https://www.livestrong.com/article/452709-the-lemon-juice-cayenne-pepper-diet/ Where I get my youtube music! http://share.epidemicsound.com/zBRBF (30day free trial) — (this is an affiliate link ❤️)

My favorite nutritional science - related YouTube videos

Watching science explained YouTube videos helps me make recovery-oriented decisions everyday. When the voice in my mind is trying to tell me that changing my appearance will bring me happiness, I remind myself - scientifically - why dieting and overexercising is not the (sustainable) answer. I also just love Natacha Oceane, Stephanie Buttermore, and Abbey Sharp's vibrant personalities and they bring some joy to my day when I am struggling. 

My favorite anti-diet books

Reading books on the biological, psychological, and sociocultural impacts of our food decisions has been a game changer in my recovery, and has kept me on track. In learning about the science behind eating disorders, diet culture, food choices, and mental health, I have cultivated self-awareness to make health-conscious decisions. I have gained an appreciation for health psychology research on combating diet culture rhetoric, and am proud to be helping Dr. A Janet Tomiyama conduct research in her UCLA lab (who worked with Traci Mann, author of "Secrets from the Eating Lab"). I think it's so cool to see a professor I know cited so often in these books!
