This is the edited version of The Mathematics of Weight Loss presented by Ruben Meerman.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

"So you are breathing it all out" Me - Looks at my gut... starts breathing fast Literally the next thing he sais - "You can't just breath faster"
-
Summary: Eat less, Move more, Keep Breathing.

Wow this was my first time to actually finish a 20 min ted talk. Very interesting! Thanks a lot sir!
-
Chemistry never had been this interesting to me in my entire life.
-
If the schools taught chemistry like this, more kids would find it interesting and worthwhile...
-
So I'm breathing in other peoples calories, I knew it wasn't my fault.
-
im a student going into my las year of high school. if i had seen this in my sophomore year when i took biology, i would have loved the class. the fact that this has millions of views and has been around since i was in 3rd grade, and that i hadn't seen this until now is astonishing. i think i should share this with my old biology teacher.

This kind of lectures can make you fall in love with science I love it 🥺
-
I know where the weight goes. It goes behind the couch, reproduces and then jumps back on me when I least expect it. That is where it goes.

Does this skirt make me look C55H104O6?
-

-
Amazing explanation. My husband and I just started on our weight loss journey. He wants/needs to drop around 20lbs and I around 10-ish. We bought all the gym equipment needed, bike, treadmill, row, and that new TONAL. I will show him this video to take another step in our journey. Thank you!!

The title should be: The chemistry of weight loss.
-
this man inspired and explained chemistry better than all the teachers I've had in elementary, high school, and university put together! God bless your awesome practical soul Ruben Meerman!
-
This should be required material for any Personal Trainer. Thanks for the video and the book!
-
Educational, thought provoking and comical. A perfect combination. One of the most engaging presentations I've ever seen.
-
YouTube, please recommend videos like this BEFORE THE HALF DECADE MARK
-
I would have actually learned something in school if I only had teachers like this. Teaching is not just a job/career, its a Mission. Wow
-
Very impressive. I think now I will be more committed to exercise now that I understand the science behind it. Thanks for this solid explanation, Ruben.

At 20:46 he should have said "eating low carbohydrate diets" instead of "low protein." He was talking about ketosis which is a result of keeping carbohydrate consumption generally below 20 grams per day to lose weight. Personal experience, ketosis is very effective as a means of weight loss with my loss from 223 pounds down to 185 pounds.
