UCTV Prime: The Skinny on Obesity
Maybe you saw him last night on “60 Minutes.” Or perhaps you’re one of the millions who’s watched his UCTV YouTube video “Sugar: The Bitter Truth.” UCSF’s Dr. Robert Lustig has made some serious waves with his research that points to sugar as a toxin that’s fueling the global obesity epidemic, and soon he’ll be coming to UCTV Prime.
Premiering April 13, “The Skinny on Obesity” is a seven-part series examining the startling rise in obesity rates and how UC San Francisco researchers like Dr. Lustig are working to combat it. Don’t miss this essential series, exclusive to UCTV Prime, a YouTube original channel. New episodes every Friday. Watch a trailer at the series page.
Emotions, Thoughts & Health: What All Aging Bodies Should Know
Our brains change as we age, and how we think and feel changes too. Could it be that paying attention to our daily lives and our aging brains might slow our cellular aging? Or that certain emotional interactions can predict relationship happiness decades later?
In these new programs from UCSF’s Osher Mini Medical School, researchers and experts share the latest science on the intersection between cognition, emotion, health and aging. It’s an exciting new frontier and you — and your brain — won’t want to miss it!
Politics and Public Service
With the recent launch of UCTV Prime’s YouTube original series “Prime: Vote,” we’re showcasing a range of new programs that canvas America’s political landscape during an important election year. Whether it’s getting a better understanding of the issues in the public debate or taking a look back at the careers and decisions of some prominent public servants, UCTV is a reliable resource for what you need to know.

amyajak, i’ve been there before. i’m 175cm with a wihegt of 105kg, maybe about 4 months ago. now, i’m only 87kg, but still far from my ideal BMI. I’ve not taken any diet pills or whatnot. Just a proper plan which is divided into two, daily exercises with a rest day on Sunday and also a daily balanced meal, about 4-5 meals. U know what, i still taking rice everyday although there is a myth that said that rice will make you fat, well I think that idea is busted now.haha 1st thing first, calculate your daily calorie requirement, and try to have deficit calorie everyday. Don’t exceed the limit. And then, cardio exercises such as jogging 30 mins everyday and bear in mind, it is a compulsory to take a rest day once in a week. Now,I’m still losing my wihegt about 1kg per week. Sounds slow right, but I think this is a nice plan without sudden reduction and diet pills -9Was this answer helpful?
