U SAD-u 80% djevojčica je već jednom bilo na dijeti do svoje 10 godine života. U ovom iskrenom, otvorenom govoru neuroznanstvenica Sandra Aamodt koristi svoju osobnu priču kako bi nam donijela važnu lekciju o tome kako naš mozak upravlja našim tijelom dok istražuje zašto dijete ne uspijevaju i zapravo rade više štete negoli koristi. Također daje nam ideje kako intuitivno živjeti život i ne biti opsjednut dijetama.

Three and a half years ago,
0
478
1735
Prije tri i pol 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.
u svom životu.
00:17
As my New Year's resolution,
2
5463
2063
Moja novogodišnja odluka bila je
00:19
I gave up dieting, stopped worrying about my weight,
3
7526
4239
prestati ići na dijete, prestati se
brinuti o težini
brinuti o težini
00:23
and learned to eat mindfully.
4
11765
3025
i naučiti jesti pažljivo.
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 smršavila sam 5kg.
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
kad sam počela svoju prvu dijetu.
00:38
I look at that picture now, and I think,
9
26813
3012
Sada kad gledam tu sliku, pomislim
00:41
you did not need a diet,
10
29825
1834
nisi ti trebala dijetu
00:43
you needed a fashion consult.
11
31659
2671
ti si trebala modnog savjetnika.
00:46
(Laughter)
12
34330
2407
(Smijeh)
00:48
But I thought I needed to lose weight,
13
36737
3069
Ali bila sam uvjerena da trebam smršaviti
00:51
and when I gained it back,
14
39806
1462
a kad sam kilograme vratila,
00:53
of course I blamed myself.
15
41268
3928
naravno, krivila sam sebe.
00:57
And for the next three decades,
16
45196
2507
I tijekom sljedeća 3 desetljeća
00:59
I was on and off various diets.
17
47703
2755
bila sam na raznim dijetama.
01:02
No matter what I tried,
18
50458
2072
Bez obzira što sam sve činila,
01:04
the weight I'd lost always came back.
19
52530
2831
kilogrami bi se uvijek vraćali.
01:07
I'm sure many of you know the feeling.
20
55361
3601
Sigurna sam da je mnogima od vas
poznat taj osjećaj.
poznat taj osjećaj.
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
Očito vaša težina ovisi o tome
01:17
how much you eat and how much energy you burn.
24
65897
2590
koliko jedete i koliko energije potrošite.
01:20
What most people don't realize
25
68487
2216
Ono što većina ljudi ne razumije jest
01:22
is that hunger and energy use
26
70703
1813
da glad i potrošnju energije
01:24
are controlled by the brain,
27
72516
2104
kontrolira mozak
01:26
mostly without your awareness.
28
74620
3515
i to uglavnom da vi toga niste ni svjesni.
01:30
Your brain does a lot of its work behind the scenes,
29
78135
3560
Vaš mozak radi mnogo toga 'iza kulisa'
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 svjesni dio vašeg mozga --
01:38
how do we put this politely? --
32
86097
1867
kako to lijepo reći? --
01:39
it's easily distracted.
33
87964
3275
se lako smete.
01:43
It's good that you don't have to remember to breathe
34
91239
2705
Dobro je da ne moramo misliti na disanje
01:45
when you get caught up in a movie.
35
93944
2640
kad nas ponese neki film.
01:48
You don't forget how to walk
36
96584
2017
Nećemo zaboraviti kako hodati
01:50
because you're thinking about
what to have for dinner.
what to have for dinner.
37
98601
2915
jer mislimo što ćemo imati za večeru.
01:53
Your brain also has its own sense
38
101516
1984
Također vaš mozak ima svoju predodžbu
01:55
of what you should weigh,
39
103500
1765
o tome koliko biste trebali težiti
01:57
no matter what you consciously believe.
40
105265
3062
bez obzira na to u što vi
svjesno vjerujete.
svjesno vjerujete.
02:00
This is called your set point,
41
108327
2040
To je vaša polazna točka
02:02
but that's a misleading term,
42
110367
1666
ali to je naziv koji zavarava
02:04
because it's actually a range
43
112033
1710
jer je to zapravo raspon
02:05
of about 10 or 15 pounds.
44
113743
2564
od otprilike 5 do 7 kg.
02:08
You can use lifestyle choices to move your weight
45
116307
3223
Svojim stilom života možete
mijenjati svoju težinu
mijenjati svoju težinu
02:11
up and down within that range,
46
119530
2068
krećući se gore-dolje
unutar tog raspona,
unutar tog raspona,
02:13
but it's much, much harder to stay outside of it.
47
121598
4405
ali je mnogo, mnogo teže ostati
izvan njega.
izvan njega.
02:18
The hypothalamus, the part of the brain
48
126003
2027
Hipotalamus, dio mozga,
02:20
that regulates body weight,
49
128030
1913
koji regulira tjelesnu težinu,
02:21
there are more than a dozen chemical signals
50
129943
2423
postoji više od desetine kemijskih signala
02:24
in the brain that tell your body to gain weight,
51
132366
2616
u mozgu koji govore vašem tijelu
da poveća težinu,
da poveća težinu,
02:26
more than another dozen that
tell your body to lose it,
tell your body to lose it,
52
134982
3684
i više od desetine signala koji govore
vašem tijelu da smanji težinu
vašem tijelu da smanji težinu
02:30
and the system works like a thermostat,
53
138666
3310
i cijeli taj sustav radi kao termostat
02:33
responding to signals from the body
54
141976
2347
reagirajući na signale tijela
02:36
by adjusting hunger, activity and metabolism,
55
144323
3608
prilagođavajući glad, aktivnost i metabolizam
02:39
to keep your weight stable as conditions change.
56
147931
3726
kako bi težina ostala stabilna dok se
drugi uvjeti mijenjaju.
drugi uvjeti mijenjaju.
02:43
That's what a thermostat does, right?
57
151657
2102
To termostat radi, zar ne?
02:45
It keeps the temperature in your house the same
58
153759
3432
Održava temperaturu u vašoj kući stalnom
02:49
as the weather changes outside.
59
157191
2760
dok se vremenski uvjeti vani mijenjaju.
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 vašoj kući otvarajući prozor tijekom 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 promijeniti postavke na termostatu
03:02
which will respond by kicking on the furnace
63
170035
2199
koji će odgovoriti tako da pojača peć
03:04
to warm the place back up.
64
172234
2437
kako bi ponovno ugrijao 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
odgovarajući na gubitak težine koristeći se
moćnim sredstvima
moćnim sredstvima
03:13
to push your body back
67
181136
1154
da vrati vaše tijelo
03:14
to what it considers normal.
68
182290
4030
u ono što smatra normalnim.
03:18
If you lose a lot of weight,
69
186320
1975
Ako izgubite mnogo kilograma,
03:20
your brain reacts as if you were starving,
70
188295
4325
vaš mozak reagira kao da gladujete
03:24
and whether you started out fat or thin,
71
192620
2632
i bilo da ste bili debeli ili mršavi
kad ste počeli
kad ste počeli
03:27
your brain's response is exactly the same.
72
195252
2965
vaš mozak uvijek reagira potpuno isto.
03:30
We would love to think that your brain could tell
73
198217
2273
Htjeli bismo misliti da naš mozak može odrediti
03:32
whether you need to lose weight or not,
74
200490
1466
trebamo li smršaviti ili ne,
03:33
but it can't.
75
201956
2135
ali on to ne može.
03:36
If you do lose a lot of weight,
76
204091
2893
Ako mnogo smršavite,
03:38
you become hungry,
77
206984
2299
postanete gladni,
03:41
and your muscles burn less energy.
78
209283
2886
a vaši mišići sagorijevaju manje energije.
03:44
Dr. Rudy Leibel of Columbia University
79
212169
2649
Dr. Rudy Leibel sa sveučilišta Columbia
03:46
has found that people who have lost
80
214818
1709
je otkrio da ljudi koji izgube
03:48
10 percent of their body weight
81
216527
2199
10 posto svoje tjelesne težine
03:50
burn 250 to 400 calories less
82
218726
2823
sagorijevaju 250 do 400 kalorija manje
03:53
because their metabolism is suppressed.
83
221549
2508
jer njihov metabolizam uspori.
03:56
That's a lot of food.
84
224057
2430
To je mnogo hrane.
03:58
This means that a successful dieter
85
226487
2224
To znači da netko tko uspješno
drži dijetu
drži dijetu
04:00
must eat this much less forever
86
228711
3168
mora zauvijek jesti ovu količinu
hrane manje
hrane manje
04:03
than someone of the same weight
87
231879
1292
negoli netko iste težine
04:05
who has always been thin.
88
233171
2303
tko je oduvijek bio mršav.
04:07
From an evolutionary perspective,
89
235474
1790
S evolucijskog gledišta
04:09
your body's resistance to weight loss makes sense.
90
237264
2544
otpor vašeg tijela na gubitak težine
ima smisla.
ima smisla.
04:11
When food was scarce, our ancestors' survival
91
239808
3136
Kad je hrane bilo malo, opstanak naših predaka
04:14
depended on conserving energy,
92
242944
2494
je ovisio o čuvanju energije
04:17
and regaining the weight when food was available
93
245438
2253
i vraćanje kilograma kad je hrana dostupna
04:19
would have protected them
against the next shortage.
against the next shortage.
94
247691
3107
je štitilo ljude od sljedeće
nestašice hrane.
nestašice hrane.
04:22
Over the course of human history,
95
250798
2527
Tijekom ljudske povijesti
04:25
starvation has been a much bigger problem
96
253325
3002
gladovanje je bilo mnogo veći problem
04:28
than overeating.
97
256327
1684
od prejedanja.
04:30
This may explain a very sad fact:
98
258011
4231
I ovo može pojasniti vrlo tužnu činjenicu.
04:34
Set points can go up,
99
262242
2829
Polazne točke mogu ići gore,
04:37
but they rarely go down.
100
265071
2872
ali vrlo rijetko idu dolje.
04:39
Now, if your mother ever mentioned
101
267943
2189
Ako vam je majka ikad spomenula
04:42
that life is not fair,
102
270132
2296
da život nije pošten
04:44
this is the kind of thing she was talking about.
103
272428
2793
upravo je o ovome pričala.
04:47
(Laughter)
104
275221
3038
(Smijeh)
04:50
Successful dieting doesn't lower your set point.
105
278259
3185
Uspješno držanje dijete ne spušta
vašu polaznu točku.
vašu polaznu točku.
04:53
Even after you've kept the weight off
106
281444
1544
Čak i ako ste održavali težinu
04:54
for as long as seven years,
107
282988
1829
punih sedam godina
04:56
your brain keeps trying to make you gain it back.
108
284817
3973
vaš mozak vas pokušava natjerati da vratite
izgubljene kilograme.
izgubljene kilograme.
05:00
If that weight loss had been due to a long famine,
109
288790
3290
Ukoliko bi taj gubitak težine bio izazvan
dugom gladi,
dugom gladi,
05:04
that would be a sensible response.
110
292080
2329
to bi bila razumna reakcija.
05:06
In our modern world of drive-thru burgers,
111
294409
2681
U suvremenom svijetu burgera' za van'
05:09
it's not working out so well for many of us.
112
297090
3457
to baš i ne odgovara mnogima od nas.
05:12
That difference between our ancestral past
113
300547
3743
Ta razlika između prošlosti naših predaka
05:16
and our abundant present
114
304290
2403
i naše obilate sadašnjosti
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 sveučilišta u Ottawi
05:23
would like to take some of his patients back to a time
117
311042
2701
želio odvesti mnoge svoje pacijente
natrag u vrijeme
natrag u vrijeme
05:25
when food was less available,
118
313743
2099
kad je hrana bila manje dostupna,
05:27
and it's also the reason
119
315842
1701
i to je ujedno i razlog
05:29
that changing the food environment
120
317543
2384
zašto će mijenjanje hrane u našoj okolini
05:31
is really going to be the most effective solution
121
319927
4116
zaista biti najučinkovitije rješenje
05:36
to obesity.
122
324043
2110
za pretilost.
05:38
Sadly, a temporary weight gain
123
326153
3277
Nažalost, privremeno povećanje težine
05:41
can become permanent.
124
329430
2045
može postati trajno.
05:43
If you stay at a high weight for too long,
125
331475
2634
Ako predugo zadržite povećanu težinu,
05:46
probably a matter of years for most of us,
126
334109
2474
a tu se vjerojatno radi o nekoliko godina
za većinu od nas,
za većinu od nas,
05:48
your brain may decide that that's the new normal.
127
336583
4438
vaš mozak može odlučiti da je to novo stanje
normalno za njega.
normalno za njega.
05:53
Psychologists classify eaters into two groups,
128
341021
4060
Psiholozi dijele ljude koji jedu
u dvije skupine,
u dvije skupine,
05:57
those who rely on their hunger
129
345081
1618
one koji se oslanjaju na osjećaj gladi
05:58
and those who try to control their eating
130
346699
2569
i one koji pokušavaju kontrolirati svoje jedenje
06:01
through willpower, like most dieters.
131
349268
6063
snagom volje, što radi većina ljudi
koji drže dijete.
koji drže dijete.
06:07
Let's call them intuitive eaters and controlled eaters.
132
355331
6511
Nazovimo ih ljudi koji jedu intuitivno
i oni koji jedu kontrolirano.
i oni koji jedu kontrolirano.
06:13
The interesting thing is that intuitive eaters
133
361842
2183
Zanimljivo je to što ljudi koji jedu intuitivno
06:16
are less likely to be overweight,
134
364025
2631
imaju manje šansi da budu
prekomjerno teški
prekomjerno teški
06:18
and they spend less time thinking about food.
135
366656
3702
a provode manje vremena
razmišljajući o hrani.
razmišljajući o hrani.
06:22
Controlled eaters are more vulnerable
136
370358
3644
Ljudi koji jedu kontrolirano su ranjiviji
06:26
to overeating in response to advertising,
137
374002
2863
po pitanju prejedenja kao odgovor na reklame,
06:28
super-sizing, and the all-you-can-eat buffet.
138
376865
3863
mega-veličine i 'kolikogod možete pojesti' tip restorana.
06:32
And a small indulgence,
139
380728
1745
I malo prepuštanje užicima
06:34
like eating one scoop of ice cream,
140
382473
3206
kao što je kugla sladoleda
06:37
is more likely to lead to a food binge
141
385679
5610
će vrlo vjerojatno dovesti do prejedanja
06:43
in controlled eaters.
142
391289
1897
kod ljudi koji kontrolirano jedu hranu.
06:45
Children are especially vulnerable
143
393186
1927
Djeca su posebno sklona
06:47
to this cycle of dieting and then binging.

ovakvom krugu dijeta i prejedanja.
06:50
Several long-term studies have shown
145
398242
2829
Nekoliko dugoročnih studija je pokazalo
06:53
that girls who diet in their early teenage years
146
401071
4152
da djevojčice koje drže dijete u ranom
tinejdžerskom dobu
tinejdžerskom dobu
06:57
are three times more likely to become overweight
147
405223
3325
imaju tri puta veće šanse da budu
prekomjerno teške
prekomjerno teške
07:00
five years later,
148
408548
1537
pet godina kasnije
07:02
even if they started at a normal weight,
149
410085
2819
čak i ako su bile normalne težine kad su
počele s dijetom
počele s dijetom
07:04
and all of these studies found
150
412904
2649
i sve su ove studije otkrile
07:07
that the same factors
151
415553
2307
da su isti faktori
07:09
that predicted weight gain
152
417860
3394
koji su predvidjeli povećanje težine
07:13
also predicted the development of eating disorders.
153
421254
3000
također predvidjeli i razvoj poremećaja u prehrani.
07:16
The other factor, by the way,
154
424254
1568
Drugi faktor, usput,
07:17
those of you who are parents,
155
425822
1429
vi koji ste roditelji,
07:19
was being teased by family members
156
427251
3229
jest zadirkivanje od strane članova obitelji
07:22
about their weight.
157
430480
1511
zbog težine.
07:23
So don't do that.
158
431991
1836
Stoga 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 gotovo sve grafikone kod kuće
07:30
but I couldn't resist throwing in just this one,
161
438201
2293
ali nisam mogla odoljeti a da ne
ubacim ovaj
ubacim ovaj
07:32
because I'm a geek, and that's how I roll.
162
440494
2413
zato što sam štreber i tako ja radim stvari.
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 koja je istraživala rizik od smrti
07:39
over a 14-year period
165
447734
1866
tijekom razdoblja od 14 godina
07:41
based on four healthy habits:
166
449600
2502
na osnovu 4 zdrave navike:
07:44
eating enough fruits and vegetables,
167
452102
2120
jesti dovoljno voća i povrća,
07:46
exercise three times a week,
168
454222
2226
vježbati tri puta tjedno,
07:48
not smoking,
169
456448
1376
ne pušiti
07:49
and drinking in moderation.
170
457824
1970
i umjereno piti.
07:51
Let's start by looking at the normal weight
171
459794
1929
Pogledajmo prvo ljude normalne težine
07:53
people in the study.
172
461723
1588
iz studije.
07:55
The height of the bars is the risk of death,
173
463311
1887
Visina stupaca predstavlja rizik od smrti
07:57
and those zero, one, two, three, four numbers
174
465198
2381
a brojevi 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
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 zdravih navika
08:02
that a given person had.
177
470858
1560
koje pojedina osoba ima.
08:04
And as you'd expect, the healthier the lifestyle,
178
472418
2989
I kao što biste i očekivali, što je
životni stil bio zdraviji,
životni stil bio zdraviji,
08:07
the less likely people were to die during the study.
179
475407
2912
to je bila manja vjerojatnost da će ljudi
umrijeti tijekom studije.
umrijeti tijekom studije.
08:10
Now let's look at what happens
180
478319
1322
Sad pogledajmo što se događa kod
08:11
in overweight people.
181
479641
1846
ljudi prekomjerene težine.
08:13
The ones that had no healthy habits
182
481487
2072
Kod onih koji nisu imali
niti jednu zdravu naviku
niti jednu zdravu naviku
08:15
had a higher risk of death.
183
483559
1771
rizik od smrti je bio veći.
08:17
Adding just one healthy habit
184
485330
1764
Dodavanje samo jedne zdrave navike
08:19
pulls overweight people back into the normal range.
185
487094
3462
vodi ljude prekomjerne težine
u normalni raspon.
u normalni raspon.
08:22
For obese people with no healthy habits,
186
490556
2742
Kod pretilih ljudi bez zdravih navika
08:25
the risk is very high, seven times higher
187
493298
2710
rizik je vrlo visok, čak sedam puta viši
08:28
than the healthiest groups in the study.
188
496008
2136
negoli kod najzdravije grupe iz studije.
08:30
But a healthy lifestyle helps obese people too.
189
498144
3940
Ali zdrav životni stil pomaže
također i pretilim ljudima.
također i pretilim ljudima.
08:34
In fact, if you look only at the group
190
502084
2518
Ustvari, ako pogledate samo grupu
08:36
with all four healthy habits,
191
504602
2274
koja ima sve 4 zdrave navike
08:38
you can see that weight makes very little difference.
192
506876
2612
vidjet ćete da težina ne čini veliku razliku.
08:41
You can take control of your health
193
509488
2056
Možete preuzeti kontrolu nad svojim zdravljem
08:43
by taking control of your lifestyle,
194
511544
1874
peruzimajući kontrolu nad
svojim stilom života
svojim stilom života
08:45
even If you can't lose weight
195
513418
1481
čak i ako ne uspijete smanjiti težinu
08:46
and keep it off.
196
514899
1736
i to održavati.
08:48
Diets don't have very much reliability.
197
516635
4110
Dijete nisu baš 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 je već vratila kilograme.
08:57
Forty percent of them have gained even more.
200
525310
2482
40 posto njih vrati čak i više.
08:59
If you think about this,
201
527792
1425
Ako malo razmislite o ovome
09:01
the typical outcome of dieting
202
529217
2347
uobičajan rezultat dijete
09:03
is that you're more likely to gain weight
203
531564
1888
je da ćete prije dobiti kilograme
09:05
in the long run than to lose it.
204
533452
2769
na duge staze negoli ih izgubiti.
09:08
If I've convinced you that dieting
205
536221
2854
Ako sam vas uvjerila da bi dijete
09:11
might be a problem,
206
539075
2029
mogle biti problem,
09:13
the next question is, what do you do about it?
207
541104
2638
postavlja se sljedeće pitanje,
i što sada poduzeti?
i što sada poduzeti?
09:15
And my answer, in a word, is mindfulness.
208
543742
4456
I moj odgovor, jednom rječju, je svjesnost.
09:20
I'm not saying you need to learn to meditate
209
548198
2535
Ne kažem da morate naučiti meditirati
09:22
or take up yoga.
210
550733
1992
ili krenuti na jogu.
09:24
I'm talking about mindful eating:
211
552725
2552
Govorim o svjesnom jedenju:
09:27
learning to understand your body's signals
212
555277
3508
učenju da razumijete signale svog tijela
09:30
so that you eat when you're hungry
213
558785
2389
kako biste jeli kad ste gladni
09:33
and stop when you're full,
214
561174
2342
i prestali kad ste siti
09:35
because a lot of weight gain boils down
215
563516
2178
jer se dobivanje kilograma često svodi na
09:37
to eating when you're not hungry.
216
565694
3066
jedenje kad niste gladni.
09:40
How do you do it?
217
568760
1484
Kako to napraviti?
09:42
Give yourself permission to eat
218
570244
1834
Dozvolite si da jedete
09:44
as much as you want, and then work on figuring out
219
572078
2205
koliko želite i onda se posvetite otkrivanju
09:46
what makes your body feel good.
220
574283
1752
što godi vašem tijelu.
09:48
Sit down to regular meals without distractions.
221
576035
3729
Jedite redovite obroke bez ikakvih ometanja.
09:51
Think about how your body feels
222
579764
1799
Razmislite o tome kako se osjeća
vaše tijelo
vaše tijelo
09:53
when you start to eat and when you stop,
223
581563
2054
kad počnete jesti i kad završite
09:55
and let your hunger decide
224
583617
2487
i dopustite da glad odluči
09:58
when you should be done.
225
586104
1468
kad biste trebali prestati.
09:59
It took about a year for me to learn this,
226
587572
2421
Trebalo mi je oko godinu dana da naučim ovo
10:01
but it's really been worth it.
227
589993
1771
ali je zaista vrijedilo.
10:03
I am so much more relaxed around food
228
591764
3085
Sad sam toliko opuštenija kraj hrane
10:06
than I have ever been in my life.
229
594849
2863
kao što to nikad nisam bila u životu.
10:09
I often don't think about it.
230
597712
2565
Često ni ne mislim o tome.
10:12
I forget we have chocolate in the house.
231
600277
2733
Zaboravim da imamo čokolade u kući.
10:15
It's like aliens have taken over my brain.
232
603010
2944
Kao da su mi izvanzemaljci preuzeli
kontrolu nad mozgom.
kontrolu nad mozgom.
10:17
It's just completely different.
233
605954
2758
To je potpuno drugačije.
10:20
I should say that
234
608712
2666
Moram reći
10:23
this approach to eating probably
won't make you lose weight
won't make you lose weight
235
611378
2793
da vam ovakav pristup prehrani
neće pomoći da smršavite
neće pomoći da smršavite
10:26
unless you often eat when you're not hungry,
236
614171
2917
osim ako ne jedete često kad niste gladni
10:29
but doctors don't know of any approach
237
617088
3898
ali doktori ne znaju ni za jedan pristup
10:32
that makes significant weight loss in a lot of people,
238
620986
4475
koji dovodi do značajnijeg gubitka težine
kod velikog broja ljudi
kod velikog broja ljudi
10:37
and that is why a lot of people are now focusing on
239
625461
3370
i to je razlog zašto se mnogo ljudi danas
fokusira na
fokusira na
10:40
preventing weight gain
240
628831
2159
sprječavanje debljanja
10:42
instead of promoting weight loss.
241
630990
3223
umjesto promicanja mršavljenja.
10:46
Let's face it:
242
634213
1536
Pogledajmo istini u oči:
10:47
If diets worked, we'd all be thin already.
243
635749
4211
Da dijete dijeluju, svi bi mi već bili mršavi.
10:51
(Laughter)
244
639960
1900
(Smijeh)
10:53
Why do we keep doing the same thing
245
641860
1637
Zašto stalno radimo iste stvari
10:55
and expecting different results?
246
643497
2883
a očekujemo drugačije rezultate?
10:58
Diets may seem harmless,
247
646380
1683
Dijete možda djeluju bezopasno
11:00
but they actually do a lot of collateral damage.
248
648063
3718
ali zapravo čine mnogo kolateralne štete.
11:03
At worst, they ruin lives:
249
651781
2435
U najgorem slučaju, uništavaju živote:
11:06
Weight obsession leads to eating disorders,
250
654216
2316
Opsjednutost težinom vodi ka poremećajima
u prehrani
u prehrani
11:08
especially in young kids.
251
656532
2943
pogotovo kod mlađe djece.
11:11
In the U.S., we have 80 percent of 10-year-old girls
252
659475
4878
U SAD-u 80 posto desetogodišnjakinja
11:16
say they've been on a diet.
253
664353
1777
kaže da je bilo na dijeti.
11:18
Our daughters have learned to measure their worth
254
666130
2261
Naše kćeri su naučile mjeriti svoju vrijednost
11:20
by the wrong scale.
255
668391
3103
pogrešnim mjerilom.
11:23
Even at its best,
256
671494
2025
U najboljem slučaju
11:25
dieting is a waste of time and energy.
257
673519
2728
držanje dijete je gubitak vremena i energije.
11:28
It takes willpower which you could be using
258
676247
4222
Za to je potrebna snaga volje koju biste
mogli koristiti da
mogli koristiti da
11:32
to help your kids with their homework
259
680469
2622
pomognete svojoj djeci s domaćim radom
11:35
or to finish that important work project,
260
683091
3616
ili da završite važan poslovni projekt
11:38
and because willpower is limited,
261
686707
3487
i upravo zato što je snaga volje ograničena,
11:42
any strategy that relies on its consistent application
262
690194
4623
bilo koja strategija koja se temelji na
njenoj stalnoj primjeni
njenoj stalnoj primjeni
11:46
is pretty much guaranteed
263
694817
2783
će vas najvjerojatnije
11:49
to eventually fail you
264
697600
2093
iznevjeriti
11:51
when your attention moves on to something else.
265
699693
3849
kad se vaša pažnja preusmjeri
na nešto drugo.
na nešto drugo.
11:55
Let me leave you with one last thought.
266
703542
3932
I za kraj vas ostavljam s ovom misli.
11:59
What if we told all those dieting girls
267
707474
2903
Što kad bismo rekli svim tim
djevojčicama koje drže dijetu
djevojčicama koje drže dijetu
12:02
that it's okay to eat when they're hungry?
268
710377
3001
da je u redu jesti kad si gladan?
12:05
What if we taught them to work with their appetite
269
713378
2250
Što kad bismo ih naučili da rade u skladu
sa svojim apetitom
sa svojim apetitom
12:07
instead of fearing it?
270
715628
2125
umjesto da ga se boje?
12:09
I think most of them would be happier and healthier,
271
717753
3427
Mislim da bi većina bila sretnija i zdravija
12:13
and as adults,
272
721180
2015
i kao odrasle osobe
12:15
many of them would probably be thinner.
273
723195
3773
mnoge bi vjerojatno bili mršavije.
12:18
I wish someone had told me that
274
726968
2113
Voljela bih da mi je netko to rekao
12:21
back when I was 13.
275
729081
3421
kad sam imala 13.
12:24
Thanks.
276
732502
2006
Hvala.
