U SAD-u ima 80% djevojaka koje su bile na dijeti do svoje 10 godine. U ovom iskrenom, sirovom govoru, neuroznanstvenica Sandra Aamodt koristi svoju ličnu priču za važnu lekciju o tome kako naš mozak upravlja našim tijelom, dok ona otkriva nauku koja stoji iza toga zašto dijeta obično ne funkcioniše, ali može nanijeti više štete nego dobra. Ona predlaže ideje za život manje opsjednut dijetama, intuitivno.

Three and a half years ago,

1735
Prije tri i po godine
00:14
I made one of the best decisions of my life.
1
2213
3250
donijela sam jednu od
najboljih odluka u svom životu.
najboljih odluka u svom životu.
00:17
As my New Year's resolution,
2
5463
2063
Kao dio svoje
novogodišnje odluke,
novogodišnje odluke,
00:19
I gave up dieting, stopped worrying about my weight,
3
7526
4239
ostavila sam dijete,
prestala da brinem o kilaži,
prestala da brinem o kilaži,
00:23
and learned to eat mindfully.
4
11765
3025
i počela da vodim
računa o onome što jedem.
računa o onome što jedem.
00:26
Now I eat whenever I'm hungry,
5
14790
3883
Sada jedem kad god sam gladna,
00:30
and I've lost 10 pounds.
6
18673
3063
i smršala sam 4,5 kilograma.
00:33
This was me at age 13,
7
21736
2537
Ovo sam ja sa 13 godina,
00:36
when I started my first diet.
8
24273
2540
kada sam počela svoju prvu dijetu.
00:38
I look at that picture now, and I think,
9
26813
3012
Sada gledam tu sliku i mislim,
00:41
you did not need a diet,
10
29825
1834
nije ti trebala dijeta
00:43
you needed a fashion consult.
11
31659
2671
već modni savjetnik.
00:46
(Laughter)
12
34330
2407
(Smijeh)
00:48
But I thought I needed to lose weight,
13
36737
3069
Ali smatrala sam da moram da smršam,
00:51
and when I gained it back,
14
39806
1462
i kada sam vratila kilažu,
00:53
of course I blamed myself.
15
41268
3928
naravno da sam krivila samu sebe.
00:57
And for the next three decades,
16
45196
2507
U naredne 3 decenije
00:59
I was on and off various diets.
17
47703
2755
započinjala sam i prekidala razne dijete.
01:02
No matter what I tried,
18
50458
2072
Bez obzira šta pokušala,
01:04
the weight I'd lost always came back.
19
52530
2831
težina koju bih
izgubila uvijek bi se vratila.
izgubila uvijek bi se vratila.
01:07
I'm sure many of you know the feeling.
20
55361
3601
Sigurna sam da vam je svima to poznato.
01:10
As a neuroscientist,
21
58962
1561
Kao neuroznanstvenica,
01:12
I wondered, why is this so hard?
22
60523
2814
pitala sam se, zašto je to tako teško?
01:15
Obviously, how much you weigh depends on
23
63337
2560
Očigledno je da težina zavisi
od količine hrane koju
jedemo i energije koju sagorijevamo.
jedemo i energije koju sagorijevamo.
01:17
how much you eat and how much energy you burn.
24
65897
2590
01:20
What most people don't realize
25
68487
2216
Većina ljudi ne shvaća
01:22
is that hunger and energy use
26
70703
1813
da mozak kontroliše
01:24
are controlled by the brain,
27
72516
2104
glad i korištenje energije,
01:26
mostly without your awareness.
28
74620
3515
a da mi toga uglavnom nismo svjesni.
01:30
Your brain does a lot of its work behind the scenes,
29
78135
3560
Naš mozak radi dosta svog posla iza scene,
01:33
and that is a good thing,
30
81695
2216
i to je dobra stvar,
01:35
because your conscious mind --
31
83911
2186
jer vašem svjesnome umu --
01:38
how do we put this politely? --
32
86097
1867
kako bismo to uljudno rekli? --
01:39
it's easily distracted.
33
87964
3275
je lako odvući pažnju.
01:43
It's good that you don't have to remember to breathe
34
91239
2705
Dobro je što ne zaboravljamo disati
01:45
when you get caught up in a movie.
35
93944
2640
kada se zanesemo u film.
01:48
You don't forget how to walk
36
96584
2017
Nećemo zaboraviti kako trebamo hodati
01:50
because you're thinking about
what to have for dinner.
what to have for dinner.
37
98601
2915
ako razmišljamo šta ćemo večerati.
01:53
Your brain also has its own sense
38
101516
1984
Vaš mozak takodjer ima svoje shvaćanje
01:55
of what you should weigh,
39
103500
1765
vaše idealne težine,
01:57
no matter what you consciously believe.
40
105265
3062
bez obzira što vi svjesno smatrate.
02:00
This is called your set point,
41
108327
2040
Ovo se zove vaš set point,
02:02
but that's a misleading term,
42
110367
1666
ali to je varljiv termin,
02:04
because it's actually a range
43
112033
1710
jer to je zapravo raspon od
02:05
of about 10 or 15 pounds.
44
113743
2564
oko 4,5 do 7 kilograma.
02:08
You can use lifestyle choices to move your weight
45
116307
3223
Možete birati životne stilove da
02:11
up and down within that range,
46
119530
2068
mijenjate težinu unutar tog raspona,
02:13
but it's much, much harder to stay outside of it.
47
121598
4405
ali mnogo, mnogo
teže je ostati izvan njega.
teže je ostati izvan njega.
02:18
The hypothalamus, the part of the brain
48
126003
2027
Hipotalamus je dio mozga
02:20
that regulates body weight,
49
128030
1913
koji reguliše tjelesnu težinu,
02:21
there are more than a dozen chemical signals
50
129943
2423
Postoji više desetina hemijskih signala
02:24
in the brain that tell your body to gain weight,
51
132366
2616
u mozgu koji govore tijelu da se udeblja,
02:26
more than another dozen that
tell your body to lose it,
tell your body to lose it,
52
134982
3684
više nego druga desetina
koja govori mozgu da smrša.
koja govori mozgu da smrša.
02:30
and the system works like a thermostat,
53
138666
3310
Sistem funkcioniše kao termostat
02:33
responding to signals from the body
54
141976
2347
koji reaguje na signale iz tijela
02:36
by adjusting hunger, activity and metabolism,
55
144323
3608
podešavajući glad,
aktivnost, i metabolizam,
aktivnost, i metabolizam,
02:39
to keep your weight stable as conditions change.
56
147931
3726
da bi vaša težina bila
stabilna kako se uvjeti mijenjaju.
stabilna kako se uvjeti mijenjaju.
02:43
That's what a thermostat does, right?
57
151657
2102
To je ono što termostat radi, zar ne?
02:45
It keeps the temperature in your house the same
58
153759
3432
Održava temperaturu u kući
02:49
as the weather changes outside.
59
157191
2760
kako se vrijeme vani mijenja.
02:51
Now you can try to change the temperature
60
159951
2822
Možete pokušati promijeniti temperaturu
02:54
in your house by opening a window in the winter,
61
162773
3496
u kući otvarajući prozor tokom zime,
02:58
but that's not going to change
the setting on the thermostat,
the setting on the thermostat,
62
166269
3766
ali to neće promijeiti
postavke na termostatu,
postavke na termostatu,
03:02
which will respond by kicking on the furnace
63
170035
2199
koji će reagovati tako što će pojačati peć
03:04
to warm the place back up.
64
172234
2437
da ponovo zagrije kuću.
03:06
Your brain works exactly the same way,
65
174671
3322
Vaš mozak radi na potpuno isti način,
03:09
responding to weight loss by using powerful tools
66
177993
3143
reaguje na gubitak kilograma
koristeći moćne alate
koristeći moćne alate
03:13
to push your body back
67
181136
1154
da vrati vaše tijelo
03:14
to what it considers normal.
68
182290
4030
na ono što smatra da je normalno.
03:18
If you lose a lot of weight,
69
186320
1975
Ako izgubite puno kilograma,
03:20
your brain reacts as if you were starving,
70
188295
4325
vaš mozak reaguje kao da ste gladovali,
03:24
and whether you started out fat or thin,
71
192620
2632
i bez obzira da li ste
bili debeli ili mršavi,
bili debeli ili mršavi,
03:27
your brain's response is exactly the same.
72
195252
2965
vaš mozak odgovara na postpuno isti način.
03:30
We would love to think that your brain could tell
73
198217
2273
Voljeli bismo kad bi mozak mogao da kaže
03:32
whether you need to lose weight or not,
74
200490
1466
da li trebamo smršati ili ne,
03:33
but it can't.
75
201956
2135
ali ne može.
03:36
If you do lose a lot of weight,
76
204091
2893
Ako i izgubite puno kilograma.
03:38
you become hungry,
77
206984
2299
postanete gladni,
03:41
and your muscles burn less energy.
78
209283
2886
i vaši mišići sagorijevaju manje energije.
03:44
Dr. Rudy Leibel of Columbia University
79
212169
2649
Doktorica Rudy Leibel sa
Univerziteta Columbia je
Univerziteta Columbia je
03:46
has found that people who have lost
80
214818
1709
otkrila da ljudi koji su izgubili
03:48
10 percent of their body weight
81
216527
2199
10% svoje tjelesne težine
03:50
burn 250 to 400 calories less
82
218726
2823
sagorijevaju od 250 do 400 kalorija manje
03:53
because their metabolism is suppressed.
83
221549
2508
jer je njihov metabolizam potisnut.
03:56
That's a lot of food.
84
224057
2430
To je velika količina hrane.
03:58
This means that a successful dieter
85
226487
2224
To znači da osoba
koja je uspješno na dijeti
koja je uspješno na dijeti
04:00
must eat this much less forever
86
228711
3168
mora zauvijek jesti toliko manje hrane
04:03
than someone of the same weight
87
231879
1292
nego neko iste težine
04:05
who has always been thin.
88
233171
2303
ko je uvijek bio mršav.
04:07
From an evolutionary perspective,
89
235474
1790
Sa evolucionarne tačke gledanja,
04:09
your body's resistance to weight loss makes sense.
90
237264
2544
otpornost vašeg tijela
na gubitak kilograma ima smisla.
na gubitak kilograma ima smisla.
04:11
When food was scarce, our ancestors' survival
91
239808
3136
Kada je hrana bila oskudna,
opstanak naših predaka
opstanak naših predaka
zavisio je od očuvanja energije,
04:14
depended on conserving energy,
92
242944
2494
04:17
and regaining the weight when food was available
93
245438
2253
i ponovno vraćanje energije kada ima hrane
04:19
would have protected them
against the next shortage.
against the next shortage.
94
247691
3107
bi ih zaštitio od naredne oskudice.
04:22
Over the course of human history,
95
250798
2527
Tokom ljudske historije,
04:25
starvation has been a much bigger problem
96
253325
3002
gladovanje je bio mnogo veći problem
04:28
than overeating.
97
256327
1684
od prejedanja.
04:30
This may explain a very sad fact:
98
258011
4231
To može objasniti veoma tužnu činjenicu:
04:34
Set points can go up,
99
262242
2829
Set pointovi mogu ići gore,
04:37
but they rarely go down.
100
265071
2872
ali rijetko idu dolje.
04:39
Now, if your mother ever mentioned
101
267943
2189
Ako vam je vaša majka ikad spomenula
04:42
that life is not fair,
102
270132
2296
da život nije pravedan,
04:44
this is the kind of thing she was talking about.
103
272428
2793
mislila je na ovo.
04:47
(Laughter)
104
275221
3038
(Smijeh)
04:50
Successful dieting doesn't lower your set point.
105
278259
3185
Uspješna dijeta vam ne
smanjuje vaš set point.
smanjuje vaš set point.
04:53
Even after you've kept the weight off
106
281444
1544
Čak ako držite kilažu
04:54
for as long as seven years,
107
282988
1829
7 godina,
04:56
your brain keeps trying to make you gain it back.
108
284817
3973
važ mozak pokušava vas
natjerati da je povratite.
natjerati da je povratite.
05:00
If that weight loss had been due to a long famine,
109
288790
3290
Ako bi taj gubitak kilaže
bio posljedica duge gladi,
bio posljedica duge gladi,
05:04
that would be a sensible response.
110
292080
2329
to bi bio razuman odgovor.
05:06
In our modern world of drive-thru burgers,
111
294409
2681
U našem modernom
svijetu hamburgera,
svijetu hamburgera,
05:09
it's not working out so well for many of us.
112
297090
3457
to ne funkcioniše dobro za sve.
05:12
That difference between our ancestral past
113
300547
3743
Razlika između prošlosti naših predaka
05:16
and our abundant present
114
304290
2403
i naše sadašnjosti u izobilju
05:18
is the reason that Dr. Yoni Freedhoff
115
306693
2289
je razlog zašto bi Dr. Yoni Freedhoff
05:20
of the University of Ottawa
116
308982
2060
sa Univerziteta u Ottawi
05:23
would like to take some of his patients back to a time
117
311042
2701
želio da odvede svoje
pacijente nazad u prošlost
pacijente nazad u prošlost
05:25
when food was less available,
118
313743
2099
kada je hrana bila manje dostupna,
05:27
and it's also the reason
119
315842
1701
i to je razlo zašto
05:29
that changing the food environment
120
317543
2384
promjena hrane
05:31
is really going to be the most effective solution
121
319927
4116
će biti najefektivnije rješenje
05:36
to obesity.
122
324043
2110
za pretilost.
05:38
Sadly, a temporary weight gain
123
326153
3277
Nažalost, privremeni porast kilaže
05:41
can become permanent.
124
329430
2045
može postati trajan.
05:43
If you stay at a high weight for too long,
125
331475
2634
Ako predugo ostanete na visokoj kilaži,
05:46
probably a matter of years for most of us,
126
334109
2474
vjerovatno godinama,
05:48
your brain may decide that that's the new normal.
127
336583
4438
vaš mozak može odlučiti
da je to novo normalno stanje.
da je to novo normalno stanje.
05:53
Psychologists classify eaters into two groups,
128
341021
4060
Psiholozi svrstavaju ljude u dvije grupe,
05:57
those who rely on their hunger
129
345081
1618
one koji se oslanjaju
na svoju glad
na svoju glad
05:58
and those who try to control their eating
130
346699
2569
i one koji kontrolišu svoju ishranu
06:01
through willpower, like most dieters.
131
349268
6063
snagom volje, kao mnogi ljudi na dijeti.
06:07
Let's call them intuitive eaters and controlled eaters.
132
355331
6511
Nazovimo ih intuitivne
i kontrolisane jedače.
i kontrolisane jedače.
06:13
The interesting thing is that intuitive eaters
133
361842
2183
Interesantno je da je manje vjerovatno
06:16
are less likely to be overweight,
134
364025
2631
da će intuitivni biti pretili
06:18
and they spend less time thinking about food.
135
366656
3702
i manje razmišljaju o hrani.
06:22
Controlled eaters are more vulnerable
136
370358
3644
Kontrolisani jedači su više podložni
06:26
to overeating in response to advertising,
137
374002
2863
prejedanju kao odgovor na reklamiranje,
06:28
super-sizing, and the all-you-can-eat buffet.
138
376865
3863
super-veličine, i švedske stolove.
06:32
And a small indulgence,
139
380728
1745
Malo zadovoljstvo,
06:34
like eating one scoop of ice cream,
140
382473
3206
kao što je jedna kugla sladoleda,
06:37
is more likely to lead to a food binge
141
385679
5610
će vjerovatno dovesti do prejedanja
06:43
in controlled eaters.
142
391289
1897
kod kontrolisanih jedača.
06:45
Children are especially vulnerable
143
393186
1927
Djeca su posebno podložna
06:47
to this cycle of dieting and then binging.
144
395113
3129
ovom ciklusu dijete i prejedanja.
06:50
Several long-term studies have shown
145
398242
2829
Nekoliko dugotrajnih studija su pokazale
06:53
that girls who diet in their early teenage years
146
401071
4152
da kod djevojaka koje su na dijeti
u svojim ranim tinejdžerskim godinama
u svojim ranim tinejdžerskim godinama
06:57
are three times more likely to become overweight
147
405223

postoji tri puta veća
šansa da postanu pretile
šansa da postanu pretile
07:00
five years later,
148
408548
1537
pet godina poslije,
07:02
even if they started at a normal weight,
149
410085
2819
iako su počele sa normalnom kilažom.
07:04
and all of these studies found
150
412904
2649
Sve ove studije su otkrile
07:07
that the same factors
151
415553
2307
da isti faktori
07:09
that predicted weight gain
152
417860
3394
koji su predvidjeli povećavanje težine
07:13
also predicted the development of eating disorders.
153
421254

također predviđaju
razvoj poremećaja u ishrani.
razvoj poremećaja u ishrani.
07:16
The other factor, by the way,
154
424254
1568
Drugi faktor,
07:17
those of you who are parents,
155
425822
1429
za vas koji ste roditelji,
07:19
was being teased by family members
156
427251
3229
je zadirkivanje članova porodice
07:22
about their weight.
157
430480
1511
zbog težine.
07:23
So don't do that.
158
431991
1836
Nemojte to raditi.
07:25
(Laughter)
159
433827
1738
(Smijeh)
07:27
I left almost all my graphs at home,
160
435565
2636
Ostavila sam skoro
sve svoje grafikone kući,
sve svoje grafikone kući,
07:30
but I couldn't resist throwing in just this one,
161
438201
2293
ali nisam mogla odoljeti ovom,
07:32
because I'm a geek, and that's how I roll.
162
440494
2413
jer sam štreber.
07:34
(Laughter)
163
442907
2479
(Smijeh)
07:37
This is a study that looked at the risk of death
164
445386
2348
Ovo je studija o riziku od smrti
07:39
over a 14-year period
165
447734
1866
u periodu od 14 godina
07:41
based on four healthy habits:
166
449600
2502
koja se bazira na 4 zdrave navike:
07:44
eating enough fruits and vegetables,
167
452102
2120
uzimati dovoljno voća i povrća,
07:46
exercise three times a week,
168
454222
2226
vježbati 3 puta sedmično,
07:48
not smoking,
169
456448
1376
ne konzumirati cigarete,
07:49
and drinking in moderation.
170
457824
1970
piti umjereno.
07:51
Let's start by looking at the normal weight
171
459794
1929
Pogledajmo normalnu kilažu
07:53
people in the study.
172
461723
1588
ljudi u studiji.
07:55
The height of the bars is the risk of death,
173
463311
1887
Visina stupaca je rizik od smrti,
07:57
and those zero, one, two, three, four numbers
174
465198
2381
a 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 brojevi
07:59
on the horizontal axis
175
467579
1246
na horizontalnoj osi
08:00
are the number of those healthy habits
176
468825
2033
su brojevi tih zdravih navika
08:02
that a given person had.
177
470858
1560
koje osoba ima.
08:04
And as you'd expect, the healthier the lifestyle,
178
472418
2989
Kako možete očekivati,
što je životni stil zdraviji,
što je životni stil zdraviji,
08:07
the less likely people were to die during the study.
179
475407
2912
to je manja vjerovatnoća da
će osoba umrijeti tokom studije.
će osoba umrijeti tokom studije.
08:10
Now let's look at what happens
180
478319
1322
Pogledajmo šta se dešava
08:11
in overweight people.
181
479641
1846
kod ljudi sa viškom kilograma.
08:13
The ones that had no healthy habits
182
481487
2072
Oni koji nisu imali zdravih navika
08:15
had a higher risk of death.
183
483559
1771
su imali viši rizik od smrti.
08:17
Adding just one healthy habit
184
485330
1764
Dodavajući samo jednu zdravu naviku
08:19
pulls overweight people back into the normal range.
185
487094
3462
vraća ljude sa viškom
kilograma u normalni raspon.
kilograma u normalni raspon.
08:22
For obese people with no healthy habits,
186
490556
2742
Za pretile ljude bez zdravih navika,
08:25
the risk is very high, seven times higher
187
493298
2710
rizik je veoma visok, 7 puta viši
08:28
than the healthiest groups in the study.
188
496008
2136
nego za najzdravije grupe u studiji.
08:30
But a healthy lifestyle helps obese people too.
189
498144
3940
Ali zdravi način života
pomaže i pretilim ljudima.
pomaže i pretilim ljudima.
08:34
In fact, if you look only at the group
190
502084
2518
Zapravo, ako pogledamo samo grupu
08:36
with all four healthy habits,
191
504602
2274
sa sve 4 zdrave navike,
možemo vidjeti da težina
pravi veoma malu razliku.
pravi veoma malu razliku.
08:38
you can see that weight makes very little difference.
192
506876
2612
Možete držati svoje dravlje pod kontrolom
08:41
You can take control of your health
193
509488
2056
tako što ćete kontrolirati
svoj životni stil,
svoj životni stil,
08:43
by taking control of your lifestyle,
194
511544
1874
08:45
even If you can't lose weight
195
513418
1481
čak iako ne možete smršati
08:46
and keep it off.
196
514899
1736
i održati kilažu.
08:48
Diets don't have very much reliability.
197
516635
4110
Dijete nisu mnogo pouzdane.
08:52
Five years after a diet,
198
520745
1777
Pet godina nakon dijete,
08:54
most people have regained the weight.
199
522522
2788
većina ljudi vrati kilažu.
08:57
Forty percent of them have gained even more.
200
525310
2482
40% njih je dobilo još kila.
08:59
If you think about this,
201
527792
1425
Ako razmislimo o ovome,
09:01
the typical outcome of dieting
202
529217
2347
tipični rezultat dijete
je veća vjerovatnoća da
ćete dugoročno dobiti na težini
ćete dugoročno dobiti na težini
09:03
is that you're more likely to gain weight
203
531564
1888
09:05
in the long run than to lose it.
204
533452
2769
nego da ćete je izgubiti.
09:08
If I've convinced you that dieting
205
536221
2854
Ako sam vas uvjerila da dijete
09:11
might be a problem,
206
539075
2029
mogu biti problem,
09:13
the next question is, what do you do about it?
207
541104
2638
sljedeće pitanje je,
šta radite po tom pitanju?
šta radite po tom pitanju?
09:15
And my answer, in a word, is mindfulness.
208
543742
4456
Moj odgovor je promišljenost.
09:20
I'm not saying you need to learn to meditate
209
548198
2535
Ne kažem da trebate meditirati
09:22
or take up yoga.
210
550733
1992
ili raditi jogu.
09:24
I'm talking about mindful eating:
211
552725
2552
Govorim o promišljenoj ishrani:
09:27
learning to understand your body's signals
212
555277
3508
naučiti kako razumijeti
signale koje šalje tijelo
signale koje šalje tijelo
09:30
so that you eat when you're hungry
213
558785
2389
tako da jedete kada se gladni
09:33
and stop when you're full,
214
561174
2342
i prestanete kada ste puni,
09:35
because a lot of weight gain boils down
215
563516
2178
jer većina dobijene kilaže se svodi
09:37
to eating when you're not hungry.
216
565694
3066
na jedenje kada nismo gladni.
09:40
How do you do it?
217
568760
1484
Kako to uraditi?
09:42
Give yourself permission to eat
218
570244
1834
Dajte sebi dozvolu da jedete
09:44
as much as you want, and then work on figuring out
219
572078
2205
koliko god želite, i onda zaključite
09:46
what makes your body feel good.
220
574283
1752
zbog čega se vaše
tijelo osjeća dobro.
tijelo osjeća dobro.
09:48
Sit down to regular meals without distractions.
221
576035
3729
Jedite redovno u miru.
Razmislite o tome
kako se vaše tijelo osjeća
kako se vaše tijelo osjeća
09:51
Think about how your body feels
222
579764
1799
09:53
when you start to eat and when you stop,
223
581563
2054
kada počnete jesti i kada stanete,
09:55
and let your hunger decide
224
583617
2487
i dozvolite da vaša glad odluči
09:58
when you should be done.
225
586104
1468
kada je dosta.
09:59
It took about a year for me to learn this,
226
587572
2421
Trebalo mi je godinu dana da naučim ovo,
10:01
but it's really been worth it.
227
589993
1771
ali je vrijedilo.
10:03
I am so much more relaxed around food
228
591764
3085
Sada sam puno opuštenija pored hrane
10:06
than I have ever been in my life.
229
594849
2863
nego ikada.
10:09
I often don't think about it.
230
597712
2565
Često ne razmišljam o tome.
10:12
I forget we have chocolate in the house.
231
600277
2733
Zaboravim da imamo čokoladu kući.
10:15
It's like aliens have taken over my brain.
232
603010
2944
To je kao da vanzemaljci
upravljaju mojim mozgom.
upravljaju mojim mozgom.
10:17
It's just completely different.
233
605954
2758
Potpuno je drugačije.
10:20
I should say that
234
608712
2666
Moram reći da
10:23
this approach to eating probably
won't make you lose weight
won't make you lose weight
235
611378
2793
vjerovatno nećete smršati
zbog ovakvog pristupa jedenju
zbog ovakvog pristupa jedenju
10:26
unless you often eat when you're not hungry,
236
614171
2917
osim ako često jedete kada niste gladni,
10:29
but doctors don't know of any approach
237
617088
3898
ali doktori ne poznaju pristup
10:32
that makes significant weight loss in a lot of people,
238
620986
4475
koji omogućava značajno
mršanje kod većine ljudi,
mršanje kod većine ljudi,
10:37
and that is why a lot of people are now focusing on
239
625461
3370
i zato mnogi ljudi se
sada fokusiraju na to
sada fokusiraju na to
10:40
preventing weight gain
240
628831
2159
kako da spriječe debljanje
10:42
instead of promoting weight loss.
241
630990
3223
umjesto promovisanja mršanja.
10:46
Let's face it:
242
634213
1536
Budimo realni:
10:47
If diets worked, we'd all be thin already.
243
635749
4211
Da su dijete upalile, svi
bismo već bili mršavi.
bismo već bili mršavi.
10:51
(Laughter)
244
639960
1900
(Smijeh)
10:53
Why do we keep doing the same thing
245
641860
1637
Zašto radimo uvijek isto
10:55
and expecting different results?
246
643497
2883
i očekujemo različite rezultate?
10:58
Diets may seem harmless,
247
646380
1683
Dijete mogu biti bezopasne,
11:00
but they actually do a lot of collateral damage.
248
648063
3718
ali prave mnogo kolateralne štete.
11:03
At worst, they ruin lives:
249
651781
2435
U najgorem slučaju,
one uništavaju vaše živote.
one uništavaju vaše živote.
11:06
Weight obsession leads to eating disorders,
250
654216
2316
Opsesija kilažom dovodi
do poremećaja u ishrani,
do poremećaja u ishrani,
11:08
especially in young kids.
251
656532
2943
posebno kod mlade djece.
11:11
In the U.S., we have 80 percent of 10-year-old girls
252
659475
4878
U SAD-u ima 80% djevojčica od 10 godina
11:16
say they've been on a diet.
253
664353
1777
koje kažu da su bile na dijeti.
11:18
Our daughters have learned to measure their worth
254
666130
2261
Naše kćerke su naučile
da mjere svoju vrijednost
da mjere svoju vrijednost
11:20
by the wrong scale.
255
668391
3103
na pogrešnoj skali.
11:23
Even at its best,
256
671494
2025
Čak i u najboljem slučaju,
11:25
dieting is a waste of time and energy.
257
673519
2728
dijeta je gubljenje vremena i energije.
11:28
It takes willpower which you could be using
258
676247
4222
Zahtijeva snagu volje
koja bi se mogla iskoristiti
koja bi se mogla iskoristiti
11:32
to help your kids with their homework
259
680469
2622
za pomaganje djeci oko zadaće
11:35
or to finish that important work project,
260
683091
3616
ili da se završi važan projekat na poslu,
11:38
and because willpower is limited,
261
686707
3487
i zbog toga što je snaga volje ograničena,
11:42
any strategy that relies on its consistent application
262
690194
4623
svaka strategija koja se oslanja
na njenu konstantnu primjenu
na njenu konstantnu primjenu
11:46
is pretty much guaranteed
263
694817
2783
će sigurno
11:49
to eventually fail you
264
697600
2093
vas izdati
11:51
when your attention moves on to something else.
265
699693
3849
kada se vaša pažnja
usmjeri na nešto drugo.
usmjeri na nešto drugo.
11:55
Let me leave you with one last thought.
266
703542
3932
Dozvolite mi da vam
ostavim još jednu misao.
ostavim još jednu misao.
11:59
What if we told all those dieting girls
267
707474
2903
Šta ako kažemo svim
ovim djevojčicama na dijeti
ovim djevojčicama na dijeti
12:02
that it's okay to eat when they're hungry?
268
710377
3001
da je uredu jesti kada su gladne?
12:05
What if we taught them to work with their appetite
269
713378
2250
Šta ako im kažemo da
sarađuju sa svojim apetitom
sarađuju sa svojim apetitom
12:07
instead of fearing it?
270
715628
2125
umjesto da ga se plaše?
12:09
I think most of them would be happier and healthier,
271
717753
3427
Mislim da bi većina
njih bila sretnija i zdravija
njih bila sretnija i zdravija
12:13
and as adults,
272
721180
2015
kao odrasle osobe,
12:15
many of them would probably be thinner.
273
723195
3773
mnoge od njih bi vjerovatno bile mršavije.
12:18
I wish someone had told me that
274
726968
2113
Voljela bih da je to meni neko rekao
12:21
back when I was 13.
275
729081
3421
kada sam imala 13.
12:24
Thanks.
276
732502
2006
Hvala.
