00:00 Hi friends, you've been asking me questions about the "Learn to Lose Weight" program.
00:04 You wanted to know what it was and why I did it.
00:07 I'm going to answer you today.
00:08 Welcome to Jean-Michel Cohen's channel,
00:10 the channel where we never tell you about salads.
00:13 Masterclass, personalized menu, individualized dietary follow-up,
00:19 visit the website doctor.jeanmichelcohen.fr
00:23 The idea of "Learn to Lose Weight" is the fact that I am convinced
00:27 that it is not simply the nature of the diet that allows people to lose weight.
00:30 And that it is not just losing weight that is important,
00:33 but it is also about teaching people to eat and to learn to eat well.
00:36 Because even those who follow a diet, once they have followed a diet,
00:39 they have to be shown how to combine good diet with eating pleasure.
00:45 Because I repeat it over and over again, the best diet, the best diet,
00:48 is a diet that does not forbid anything.
00:50 And in fact, I realized that the fundamental to eat well or lose weight,
00:55 was 1) education and 2) support.
00:59 So education, why?
01:00 It's because we're in a food mess, as I've never seen.
01:03 First, we buy a lot in supermarkets, whatever you say.
01:06 We are now overwhelmed by street food,
01:08 that is to say, this food that we can order.
01:10 We are constantly being attacked by new advertisements about new products.
01:14 So that means that learning about food,
01:17 that's what I do when I do the food guides,
01:19 is to tell people and explain to them what's in a food,
01:22 why it's good or why it's not good.
01:24 So it's super important to do a nutritional education.
01:28 We should do it at school, but apparently it's not their priority.
01:31 Their priority is to build things that will destroy the next day.
01:35 That's a little aggressive word on our rulers, whatever they are.
01:39 They often ask me what is eating well?
01:41 And I always say, at the beginning, eating well, it also starts with pleasure.
01:45 Why? Because pleasure is something that strengthens our morale,
01:49 that reduces stress.
01:50 Food pleasure is one of the components of life.
01:53 So, I, who am known for a lot in terms of weight loss,
01:57 I put in the act of eating, pleasure first,
02:01 instead of saying, like the Ayatollahs of nutrition,
02:03 "You don't eat this and you don't eat that and you don't eat that."
02:06 Basically, it's super stressful.
02:07 People don't know what to do anymore.
02:09 They don't eat according to what they like or what they know.
02:11 They eat according to injunctions they have received, right and left,
02:14 which are mixed in their heads.
02:15 That's really important.
02:16 The second thing is, eating well or losing weight,
02:19 is not to forbid a lot of food.
02:21 For example, for a long time, we said, "You shouldn't eat sugar."
02:24 "Come on, finish the potatoes, finish the bread."
02:26 That's not true.
02:27 We need a little energy for our muscles and for our brain,
02:30 which is a big sugar consumer.
02:32 It doesn't mean that we have to eat a lot of pasta.
02:34 It doesn't mean that we have to put four cheeses inside,
02:37 but it means that we have to eat a little pasta, a little bread.
02:40 So, when it's to eat well with completely standard rations,
02:43 when it's to lose weight, we're going to lose weight, we're going to control the ration.
02:47 It's the same for chocolate.
02:48 In "Knowing How to Lose Weight", for example,
02:50 I always put an equivalence between cheese and chocolate.
02:52 Why?
02:53 Because, at the limit, chocolate...
02:54 Well, there's sugar inside,
02:56 but the fat in chocolate is a little better than the fat in cheese.
02:59 Well, that's interesting.
03:01 I counterbalanced the sugar in the chocolate
03:04 with the good quality of the fat in chocolate.
03:06 So, why, at an equivalent caloric level,
03:08 I wouldn't put one or the other?
03:09 Thirdly, to take the notion of ration seriously.
03:12 Okay, I ate fish and I said anything,
03:16 and I had my shoulders dropped.
03:18 Okay, it doesn't look too bad.
03:21 It's okay.
03:22 It's a lean product, a fat product, it's okay.
03:24 How much did you eat?
03:26 If you ate 50 grams of fish and 200 grams of potatoes,
03:29 it's not the same as if you ate 100 grams of fish and 100 grams of potatoes.
03:32 So, it's the B to A.
03:33 And, once again, it's the social networks that have distorted things.
03:36 That is, the guy who forbids you to eat potatoes,
03:39 the other who tells you that you shouldn't associate such a product with another product,
03:42 the one who tells you that you have to eat the fruit before, after, in the middle of the meal, at night, etc.
03:46 All of this creates a mess in people's heads,
03:49 and it's negative in terms of diet.
03:51 Portions are really important.
03:53 Learning to cook is fundamental.
03:55 That's what I wanted to do in Savoir Maigrir too.
03:57 That means we weren't all born cooks.
03:59 But some of us, you know, there were best-ofs in Savoir Maigrir.
04:03 The zucchini hot dog, the tomato burger, etc.
04:07 People enjoyed it.
04:09 The pizza made with cauliflower in crumb.
04:12 And yet, they were simple recipes to make.
04:14 We try to make simple recipes, but it allows people to cook.
04:17 Cooking is also meditation.
04:19 That's the global nutritional aspect.
04:21 And then it's my job, in these types of programs,
04:24 to gradually teach you portions,
04:27 food associations,
04:29 not to eliminate certain products,
04:31 how to manage if I go to a restaurant, etc.
04:34 I do sports, I do weight training.
04:36 What do I have to eat as protein?
04:38 I'm expecting a baby.
04:39 Do I have the right to eat such a product?
04:41 It's my job to do that.
04:43 The second thing is support.
04:45 Do you know a diet,
04:47 or do you know people
04:49 who follow a perfect diet,
04:51 whether it's to eat well or to lose weight,
04:53 from the beginning to the 180th day?
04:56 No, no. Why?
04:58 First, because life is made up of lots of incidents,
05:01 accidents, because you can have problems at work,
05:04 you can have problems with your car,
05:06 you can have problems with your kids,
05:08 you can have problems because, well,
05:10 I went on a big bike ride
05:12 and I broke my leg.
05:14 So life is made up of incidents and accidents.
05:16 You can have problems too.
05:18 And so in these cases,
05:20 it's difficult to follow a diet.
05:22 Well, for me, support is people like us,
05:24 what we do,
05:26 who are behind your screen,
05:28 telling you, "Go ahead,
05:30 you, Joël, have fun,
05:32 you, Thomas, keep doing sports,
05:34 but limit your food intake,
05:36 or, on the contrary, increase it,
05:38 because right now, there's no need to force it.
05:40 And then, because by creating a community,
05:42 people talk to each other.
05:44 I met one of the members of Savoir Maigrir
05:46 while on vacation in Palmyra,
05:48 but it's nice to strengthen the social bond,
05:50 and strengthening the social bond
05:52 is essential to live a long time.
05:54 Last thing, we don't all want to move
05:56 and go to a doctor.
05:58 I'm going to allow myself something that I normally
06:00 never do, but when you go
06:02 to a nutritionist,
06:04 a dietitian,
06:06 a dietitian,
06:08 a coach, whatever you want,
06:10 what will the person do for you?
06:12 I talked to a friend last time,
06:14 a pro of pros,
06:16 he sees people once a month,
06:18 he sees them roughly 20 minutes.
06:20 That means 20 minutes of nutrition
06:22 once a month, with the welcome,
06:24 the words of use,
06:26 and the departure. That means the guy came
06:28 to learn nutrition for 10 minutes
06:30 once a month. We think that's enough.
06:32 That's why we strengthened
06:34 the video, that's why we send videos
06:36 every day, that we send menus,
06:38 recipes, equivalents, practical notes,
06:40 things like that, to explain
06:42 that eating is a complex act
06:44 and that we can't solve it
06:46 with simple methods. So that means
06:48 that we need to be a community
06:50 in the direction of that. Finally, last thing,
06:52 there are a lot of people who are registered
06:54 on Savoir Maigrir to lose weight, and there are a lot of people
06:56 who are registered on Savoir Maigrir to eat well.
06:58 Why? Because
07:00 diet is the first step
07:02 in general of the beginning of the
07:04 food, of the understanding of food.
07:06 You use the diet to lose weight,
07:08 ok, fix it, or to stabilize
07:10 your weight, ok, no problem. But
07:12 behind, to continue to eat well,
07:14 there has to be a guy who
07:16 makes you think, who does what I do with you,
07:18 two lives per week,
07:20 YouTube videos, private consultation,
07:22 Savoir Maigrir,
07:24 and it's not just money, by the way,
07:26 the bad guys who say that, when I
07:28 do things for free on Wednesdays
07:30 and Sundays, they don't say thank you.
07:32 They say, we did the Savoir Maigrir program
07:34 and they come to get the money. Well yeah, when it's free,
07:36 why don't you say thank you, guys?
07:38 That was a little punch in their face.
07:40 "He's smiling, oh no,
07:42 he slipped!" That's what I wanted to tell you.
07:44 So you know what Savoir Maigrir is,
07:46 on the marketing presentation videos
07:48 made by the team I work with,
07:50 you will have the complete of what happens inside.
07:52 But I wanted to explain to you that nutrition
07:54 has always been my passion,
07:56 that my job is to help people
07:58 who live, as we see on the lives,
08:00 in the Union, Madagascar, Guadeloupe,
08:02 Canada, etc. It's all these people there.
08:04 Tunisia, Morocco, Israel,
08:06 everywhere. It's my job and it's my passion.
08:08 That's why I do it and I'm convinced
08:10 that if we don't create a food education,
08:12 if we don't support people for a while,
08:14 not until the end of my days
08:16 or yours, we can't
08:18 solve the problem. And at the same time,
08:20 people who know that, they pass it on to their kids
08:22 and there I have a feeling that I have done something
08:24 useful. That's what I wanted to tell you.
08:26 Thank you for listening to the end.

08:34 criticism, whatever you want.
