How to Eat to Feel Full, Lose Weight and Achieve Health | Andreas Eenfeldt MD

Thanks for the chat! I recommend playing this at 1.25X because I talk extremely slowly, must have been late in the evening my time! 🤣

For me it's lentils and beans. Good source of protein and carbs good nutrients and fewer calories, gives energy and make me feel full.

I've heard you say "English as a second language" a few times -- I find that amazing ... there is no way I'd ever have said you weren't a native English speaker. I'm "English" living in Texas - believe me - no one here speaks good English.

Eggs alone never filled me up. I need starchy carbs at every meal to feel satiated.

Even native English speakers have no idea it’s actually “Fewer calories.” Hear it all the time.

After watching your video interview, I further investigate this program. I started out at 255 pounds on June 4,2024, and we of today July 10,2024, I'm at 240 pounds. I did get the app and so far it's the easiest program I've tried. I am almost 65 years old and 6' 00" in height. At the moment, I am tending according to my Excel tracking to get back to my wedding weight of 185 pounds by around December of 2024. So far I am pretty pleased with this program. Oh, also, I've been working out at the gym 3 days a week with mostly weight resistance and stretching. It's been unbearably hot here in the Northeast United States and when I do have an opportunity to walk it's usually early in the morning or in an enclosed area like a shopping mall that is air-conditioned. Anyway, that's my two cents. Thanks for sharing this program with us.

He seems very biased, he didn't mention any plant products that were high in protein like beans, tofu, tempeh, legumes etc. But coming from a low carb'er, it is not surprised he is biased, I hope his app isn't not as biased as he seems, but if he is putting a score together with 1 being the amount of protein and fiber being in last place of 4, I would imagine the algorithms of the app will also be very biased tbh! Well done for making him seem a little less biased by mentioning different diets.

In a nutshell: eat whole natural foods, mostly plants, and avoid processed foods.

A trivial comment: The vast majority of native speakers of American English would say "less calories" rather than "fewer calories". It is true that it is considered correct to use "fewer" rather than "less" in that context by people who are aiming to preserve "proper" English usage, so if you are trying impress people like that, it might be an important "rule" to follow, but it isn't required in order to be speaking like most people whose first language is American English.

I struggled staying engaged with this guest due to the evidence being so heavily based on calories and understanding how they actually measured satiety. Will maybe have to watch again.

I was interested in the comparison between the oatmeal breakfast vs. the egg breakfast. I eat oatmeal with berries for breakfast just about everyday but... some days it's enough, I don't need to eat again until lunch. Other days I'm hungry by mid morning. So food alone isn't the only variable, what you're doing is a factor, at least for me.

Potatoes are the most satiating food according to the satiety index

Please do more of what you eat in a day. And grocery hauls. The ones you made were wonderful and they are very much needed.

I’m whole food plant-based and I get most of my calories from whole wheat bread, whole wheat, pasta, and black beans. If I overdo it on those calorie density is too high. I tend to gain weight, even if it is relatively slow. Sticking with two fruits, but also 2 ounces of carrots daily and 2 ounces of a green. I do far better. There’s plenty of protein in the whole wheat and beans enough where I’m happy but they also have a whopping amount of fiber, none of these foods are hyper palatable and I think that’s a huge benefit to whole Food plant-based. I started the diet to fix my serum cholesterol and LDL which worked and it fixed my weight, blood pressure and high resting heart rate plus was able to come off blood pressure medication, which also control the high resting heart rate. The formula seems pretty good to me

So many brilliant people in this field (like you) consistently say "less" instead of fewer. You're in good company.

He's not kidding about the yougurt and cottage cheese... I switched to eating low fat / high protein versions of both, and they are so filling, yet still low calorie.

Boiled potatoes are consistently rated as the must satiating food. This goes against his list as they have very low protein. Interesting.

Like every video, I learned some important things with this one. I'm trying to lose weight right now, so no processed foods. But, I try to get nuts as part of my diet, but ignore if they are salted or unsalted. I'll be paying more attention to that in the future.

Oatmeal with nuts and seeds and some natural peanut butter + fruit like berries, apples and dates fills me up like nothing else. It always hits the spot with savoury/sweet combo.

I'm probably confused on this, but there seems to be acute and chronic satiety. For me, eggs are acutely (maybe I mean quickly) satiating, but I'll be hungry again sooner than if I eat boiled potatoes which I can eat for longer at a sitting, but they hold me for longer when I'm finished eating. I dunno.
