Darya discusses how psychology impacts our ability to create healthy eating habits. Darya is a neuroscientist, author and popular blogger who has trained her sights and talents on solving the age-old problem of eating healthy and losing weight.
Her holistic approach to food and health is a breath of fresh air compared to the stuffy supermarket shelves of diet shakes and appetite suppressants.
After receiving her BA in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley, Darya received her PhD from UC San Francisco and writes about food, health and weight loss. Her website ‘Summer Tomato’ was one of TIME’s top 50 websites in 2011 and if social media is any indicator, her message that “life should be awesome” is reaching far and wide.
Darya describes herself as a “foodist”, which is a term for someone who has abandoned dieting to enjoy life using real food and also the name of her book – Foodist: Using Real Food and Real Science to Lose Weight Without Dieting.

The volunteer student interpreters were supported by volunteer, certified interpreters in order to minimize potential errors. Your support of these pre-professional interpreters’ growing skills is appreciated. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Everywhere you look it seems like the only solution for losing weight is by dieting. But most diet plans are restrictive boring and Incredibly difficult to sustain over time. Could there actually be another way other than tracking your calories and macros or avoiding carbs, or eating unsatisfying tasteless boring Bland Foods in amounts that never truly leave you feeling full and satisfied. Most other trainers in gym owners would say yes you absolutely need to hop on a structured diet plan to lose weight but I say no. And don’t just take my word for it use your own reasoning to see that dieting has only been around for less than 200 years and only became popular in the mid-1800s with one of the first well-known diet plans known as the Banting diet which was essentially one of the first low-carb diets. Since then the diet industry has exploded there are now hundreds if not thousands of different diet plans for you to choose from as well as billions of dollars in the dieting industry. however since the 1800s obesity has grown just as much as the diet industry has. What I’m saying is that before the concept of dieting even existed there were exponentially more people that were in shape maintaining a healthy weight their whole lives. In fact the rise in the diet industry almost matches the rise in obesity rates. This simple fact proves that dieting in it’s restrictive overstructured form is not necessary to maintain a healthy weight nor is it necessary to get to a healthy weight. Does this doesn’t mean that we can just ignore diet altogether? No, Because theres no denying that what you eat and how much you eat are probably the most important factors that contribute to how much you weigh and what your body composition is. Since your diet is one of the most important factors I’m not going to give you cheap little tricks that simply won’t work like using a body wrap drinking lemon water or eating your meals slower. Instead in today’s video I want to teach you how you can lose weight and have a proper diet.. without dieting. And you can be sure that these simple changes I’m about to share although they may not be as attractive as the idea of a magic pill, unlike magic pills they do actually work. The first way is one of the most powerful ways to maintain a healthy weight long-term and that’s by not focusing on dieting and instead focusing on nourishing. Diets usually call for you to take something away or to restrict. On the other hand eating to nourish your body involves taking steps to give and add to your diet. Restrictions lead to cravings for exactly what it is that you’re restricting. Having a proper diet without actually dieting involves eliminating all restrictions and instead of restricting you should be prioritizing. Ice cream should not be a high priority when trying to nourish the body, instead single ingredient natural sources of carbs proteins and fats should be your main priority. Foods that grow from the ground and come from the earth. Single ingredient foods are naturally filling, naturally high in volume while being low in calories, and they’re easier for your body to break down and use. This is why being overweight was very uncommon before processed food became available. This man made food which is now everywhere all around us is stripped of most of it’s nutrients and those nutrients are replaced with additives and flavor enhancers. Consistently eating this food degrades the natural balance between our appetite, our fullness, our hormones, and the amount of total calories we eat as well as how well our body can use the types of calories we eat. Do not restrict yourself from eating these tasty foods, but only allow yourself to eat these foods after you’ve satisfied your hunger with natural single ingredient foods. This means that every meal of yours should be loaded with healthy single ingredient foods that you can find in the outside aisles of your grocery store. These foods will eliminate your hunger, reset your taste buds, and significantly lower your desire for the processed foods that lead to weight gain.
