********CRITIQUES, RULES, AND NOTES********

Be aware of the following rules before posting comments:
- Please do not post summaries of the video in the comments - it damages retention on the video and YouTube is less likely to promote it (these videos cost me a lot of money to produce).

Critiques of my work are welcome! Please be aware of the following notes & rules before submitting critique:

Be mindful that this content is not all encompassing on the subject at hand and is self-limited for brevity to reach a wider audience. Also, be aware that I receive hundreds of YouTube comments per day, so the only way your critique can be considered is if you follow the steps outlined below. Finally, YouTube auto-deletes links, so I do not see most comments with links attached.

RULES:
If your comment is rude, you will be banned.
If your comment is not about the studies/topics at hand (i.e. extending to other outcomes not discussed) or offers critique with no scientific basis, it is unlikely to receive a response.

If you can follow these rules, I will try to address your critique and if there is merit, I will add an AMENDMENT to the content in question and pin it so everyone can see it (thank you!).

Mindsip insights from this episode:

Avoid dieting to prevent metabolic slowdown

Those who dieted without a weighted vest experienced an over 200-calorie reduction in their resting metabolism.

Understand hunger signals after fat loss due to leptin changes

When you lose body fat, your fat cells secrete less of the hormone leptin, which signals to your brain to increase feelings of hunger.

Understand how bones influence appetite and metabolism

The 'gravitostat' hypothesis suggests your bone cells sense your body's weight and release molecules that influence your appetite and metabolism.

Wear weighted vests to sustain weight loss success

People who wore a weighted vest for only six months were able to maintain some of their weight loss two years later, unlike the group that didn't.

Wear weighted vests to maintain resting metabolism during dieting

Wearing a weighted vest during a diet can prevent the typical drop in resting metabolism, even after you stop wearing it.

Explore metabolic benefits of weighted vests beyond muscle maintenance

The metabolic benefits of a weighted vest are likely not just from maintaining muscle, but from a deeper mechanism like the gravitostat.
