Don Robin, 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:18.480 I've been really upset I'm gonna go first, what happened? Okay, 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:23.760 So I've started like really getting into my smoothies. Okay, 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:26.880 Grace works at a smoothies spot. She can't be the 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.280 only one in the house drinking smoothies. So I have 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:32.240 my little smoothie situation. So I like, I have like 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.560 prepackaged smoothies that come to the house, and then I 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:37.200 buy fruit to kind of add to it. So I 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.080 went to Safeway. Yeah, I'm calling out Safeway the other day, 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.520 and I like bought a bag of peaches. I was 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:44.240 so excited. I was like, oh my god, these are 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:48.320 gonna be soon yummy. Okay, So like three of them 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:52.120 not only were like spoiled, but they exploded. There was 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:56.000 like nasty peach juice that was like oozing out of them. 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.640 These weren't frozen peaches, No, these were what are you 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:03.360 calling I'm frozen regularly. These were like they were in 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.680 the produce section. So wait, so you didn't know that 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:09.200 before you put them in your shopping cart. Well, I 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.440 think that they were fine. They were because I actually 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.280 picked them up and analyzed them because I picked them 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.200 up one by one. But in twenty four hours, they 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:20.640 had peached nasty peach juice oozing out of them. So 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.320 safe way, y'all did me dirty? Yes, y'all did me dirty? 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.040 And I'm mad at y'all. So I need a refund 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:27.640 or just like when I come in, y'all know me, 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.800 just give me some free peaches. That's where there's like 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:31.959 fruit flies and stuff all around. No, but it was 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:36.839 just nasty peach juice. Yeah, gross, I'm sorry about that. Yes, 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.000 maybe it wasn't meant for you to have a peach smoothie. 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.200 I was gonna add it to my spinach and my mangoes, 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.560 my watermelon in my bootberries. I just throw everything. I 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.000 throw everything, and it's really good for my inside. I 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:56.280 were talking about my inside robbing. Um okay, So my 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.079 shady moment of the week goes to my brain and 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:05.120 sparkling new washing machine. Yes, you know, I recently moved, 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:06.960 so I don't know if it's the washing machine or 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.720 the house. So my brand sparkling new house and my 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:13.000 brand sparkling new washing machine. About this brand new g 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:17.640 E profile washing machine. It's blue front loader. It's like 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.880 all these buttons and yes, but all this stuff, this 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:24.840 damn washing machine. The power trips on it. All good time, 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.400 all the time. So we have to go downstairs in 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.640 the basement and go to the circuit break right and 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.360 you know, turn it back on. But it's so frustrating. 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.119 I'm like, it's a brand new house, it's a brand 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:37.480 new washing machine, so it might not do the whole load, 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:39.440 and it might like and you don't even know. I 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.520 don't even know until we go to like, oh, let's 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.320 put the stuff in the dryer, and then we can't 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.400 open the door because the door is locked. You know what. 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.520 I'm mad at the what's that person called the contract, 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:53.200 the electrician something. Yeah, so I gotta get I gotta 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.520 get them over there. It's just it's so frustrating though, 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.400 Like imagine, like you think you're accomplishing something. You're going 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:01.160 your laundry, yes, laundry day, you know, oh, my clothes 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:02.720 are in the washing and you go and you're like 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:07.200 the ship didn't even wash and the boys need their 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:13.280 underwear a word, Oh my gosh, so yes, that's super 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:14.960 freshrat Okay, yeah, that's what you need to get that 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.599 handled because we can't we can't live like that. Yes, absolutely, 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.520 I need a refund. Yes, refund, electrician, get your ass 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.680 to Robin's House. Okay, there's that on that. We have 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.080 a whole lot to get into today because we have 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:29.040 a nutritionist with us and um, we're gonna be learning 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:32.040 all about our body. Yes, that is a hot topic 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:35.920 in itself. Nutrition, health, fitness, all that is hot topic 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.240 in itself. Yeah. But there's one thing that struck me, 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.520 that bothered me that I was reading on social media 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.279 the other day and I was like, I'll be damned. Okay, 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:48.520 so this woman sent her friend who couldn't come to 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:53.839 her wedding and invoys for her plate at the reception. 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:59.480 I saw that. I hear about that. Who does that? 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:06.800 Tacky people? Yes, okay, So I feel like when you're 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.920 planning a wedding, you should know some of these people 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.200 aren't going to show up, right, like you should just 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.840 kind of chalked it up as a loss. So, yeah, 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:19.200 don't like sending an invoice, that's TACKI However, when I 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.599 have not shown up to a wedding for whatever reason 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:24.800 that I r s v P two, I actually will 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.800 send them on top of my gift. I will send 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.400 them kind of what I think my plays. That's so 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:35.400 nice because I just don't show up. We're so reasonable 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.160 exactly exactly there we go. There's a reasonable part. Yeah, 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.360 because I think, like, you know, okay, these people paid 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.200 X amount of dollars expecting me or me and wanted 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.320 to show up, and we didn't show up for whatever reason. 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.600 Let me send them the money for that, because you know, 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:53.640 it's just I I respect that. I know how shoot, 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.960 like how how big of a financial burden weddings are? People? 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:00.120 They are? So you know, I will try my know, 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.160 I will try to do what I can and just 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.040 send money on top of my gift that I was 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:09.279 already sending. Very reasonable the future, you know, brides, whatever 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.320 if if if your people don't show up, don't be 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.719 an ass and send him an invoice. But if you 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.560 are that person that doesn't show up, try to like, 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:22.440 you know, have some respects and the courteous. Don't do 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.680 what I do. Do what Robin done. Okay, But I 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:28.360 was reading in the comments that men should men are 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.320 saying that they should get their money back if the 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.560 date is bad and they didn't take it. A woman 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.520 out and spend all this money on her, and then 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:37.160 then that's gavin. No more like a guy should ask 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.080 for his money back. Okay, we would. So if a 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:46.760 guy is dating a woman, yes for a month, a week, 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.279 a week, yes, and it doesn't work out, he wants 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:54.240 the money back and send her invoid. I'm just gonna 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:55.719 say I wish i'd do would We don't have to 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.640 talk about this law because it's out real crazy. That's like, 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:02.200 what is this is the problem with our society today? 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.920 Like that men are not chival us anymore? Like no, 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.000 I'm sorry, man, that's a that's a cost of dating. Yes, 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.520 you know the process. Yeah, so like if it don't 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.120 work out, that's on you. That's on you. Do you 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.480 got choked up to the game? Sir? That's crazy. Yeah, 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:19.840 there were actually men saying that that should happen. Yeah, 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.200 so needless to say, they won't be dating me or 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:27.520 my right. We know that. Okay. And just for the 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.360 record of God, if I guy ever gives me a gift, 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.840 I'm never gating it back, okay, nothing, no, no, nothing, 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.320 Like what if it's a car, I'm keeping it really 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.040 or selling it or something, but you're not gonna ask 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.480 for it back. That's what you're not gonna do. What 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:43.040 if it's like like a rod taking a picture next 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.440 to j Lo's car, yeah, you were real crazy for that. 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.080 Wait what hap?

I have donated to the 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:43.080 Democratic Party, but you never gave them your phone number. No, 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.959 oh my gosh, really it's Nancy Pelosi.

I think, you know, 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.480 it's fair to acknowledge, UM, to give ourselves a little 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.640 grace during this time, because we all went through it, 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:10.840 whether it's you know, we come from losing our jobs 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:15.680 or you know, just losing motivation or experiencing people you 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.920 know dying all around us. Because it is a hard time, UM. 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.000 So extending grace first of all, you know, realizing that 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:25.200 you know this is not normal circumstances UM. And then 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:29.160 you know, perhaps starting slow. I think perspective is everything 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.960 when you're starting a new anything, new challenge, a new 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:36.320 mindset UM. So you know, progress over perfection experiencing that 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.400 instead of like zero to a hundred type things. So 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.720 that way you don't feel bad if you don't reach 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:42.760 a goal, or if you don't wake up early in 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:44.640 the morning and beat yourself up and then you get 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:49.560 discouraged and then you spiral backwards. Right, So progress over perfection, UM. First, 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.200 get up, do something you don't necessarily have to go 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.720 into a gym. A lot of gyms still, you know, 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:56.640 have the mass mandate. A lot of people still don't 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.599 feel comfortable going outside. UM. You can buy equipment, you 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:03.079 can go outside UM to sweat and do your own thing. 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:07.640 You can call an accountability partner, someone like a thread. 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:10.360 I have a bunch of text threads that I have 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.160 different types of people in and you know, whether it's 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.000 from hey, wake up, I did something, send a screenshot 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:20.000 of your workout that yeah, because you know, sometimes you 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.520 can say that you're doing something and meanwhile you're in bed, 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:28.760 you're lying. Everybody's a liar, every once a liar. So 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.240 you know, little accountability groups or there are different apps 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.080 nowadays that you can kind of go to um and 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.480 just you know, being mindful that, you know, being nice 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:41.800 to yourself because especially you know, you can't just go 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:45.840 from experiencing this trauma then bad habits and then boom 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:49.480 you're into it, you know again back to grace. Right. 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:53.600 So I don't know, just be nice to yourself. So 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:57.240 I've heard that, you know, I work out all the time, 0:12:57.760 --> 0:12:59.880 but you know I don't eat well well, I do, 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:03.040 but I don't I fall off. My eating is inconsistent, 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.600 my working out is consistent. But I've heard that eating 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:08.800 is everything. Like I could really just not go to 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:12.599 the gym and just eat right right. It is um, 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:16.120 you know, I think things are set there for different reasons, 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.120 like for cardio, if you're doing cardio. Um, that's gonna 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:21.960 help move the scale, that's gonna shift and lose the calories. 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.760 You're gonna lose weight. The stringth train is developed to 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.160 shape your physique. So if you're sculpting, bring your inner 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:30.920 thighs in a little bit and bringing that waistline in, 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:32.880 lifting the butt, getting rid of the cellul you have 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.160 a strength train right my language, Right now, I think 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:38.719 I'm getting excited. Yeah. And then the nutrition is there 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.640 to feel your workouts to give you the energy to 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.040 go forward. And then the water is there, you know, 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:44.960 depending on how many times you're working out today. If 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:46.960 you're working out once and if you're doing an hour 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.600 of cardio, then you need to supplement your body with 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.439 the water being lost in the electro lights. So everything 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.800 really goes hand in hand. You can't just cardio bunny 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.560 your way through life, or just stringth train or just 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.719 eat clean. You really have to try to uh use 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.160 a little bit of those three or four components. Okay, 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:06.440 but if I eat clean, I don't have to go 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.760 to the gym. I think it's important to go to 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:12.679 the gym, uh for first. You know, cardiovascular activity, it's 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.640 good for your body. It's good for functional organs and 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.800 all that good stuff. So it's definitely important just to 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.680 do a little bit, maybe thirty minutes um a day, 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.120 four times a week, starting with that, you know. And 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:26.880 it doesn't have to be intense. It could be yoga, 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.800 it can be stretching. You can go from massage doing 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.640 sauna like anything really works as long as you're getting 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:42.000 out there and doing something progressive for your body. So 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:48.000 for me, my I guess choice of weight management is 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.840 intermittent fasting. So and you know that because even when 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:53.680 I started working out with you and you wanted to 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:57.120 put me on a nutrition plan and you were like, Okay, 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.400 well you gotta eat this at this time and I'm like, 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.840 well wait, but I can't eat until twelve o'clock. And 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.760 you're like, I know that. Kind isn't that terrible? It 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:07.520 works for some people that yeah, didn't work for you. 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:11.960 So it worked, yes, so it worked for me. Um, 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:13.880 But now it's to the point where I know that 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.280 our body kind of gets used to stuff. So then 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.720 you plateau. Right, So now I'm wondering, like, okay, am 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:23.280 I at a plateau? And if I was to stop 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.840 inter minute fasting, will I then gain weight, do you 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:30.440 know what I mean? So because I'm not very disciplined, 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:35.440 Like my issue is, I'm not disciplined with my eating, um, 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.760 my schedule. So I'm kind of like so for me 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.680 just saying, Okay, I know that i'm going to eat, 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:43.880 I'm gonna start eating at twelve pm, I'm gonna stop 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.080 eating at eight pm, and I can kind of eat 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:48.760 whatever in between those hours. Like that's easy for me 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:54.000 versus really trying to like manage what I eat, you 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.000 know what I mean, like and be on like, Okay, 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.880 so you eat eat whatever between noon and eight pm, 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.520 eat whatever, I whatever I mean, But I still try 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.000 to like stay you know, I don't like overdoing. It's 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.840 not like I'm eating McDonald's all day. But I'm just 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.720 not very strict with my diet. Um even though I 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.200 naturally just like to eat healthy um, but I'm not 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.120 strict with my diet. But I just feel like at 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:19.680 some point that's going to just plateau and then I 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:21.400 have to switch it up. And then what am I 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:24.320 switching up to? So how many years have you been 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:30.320 doing this? I've been doing this investing probably three two 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.240 to three years. Okay, so at this point you think 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.000 just plate toad. Well, well know because what happened. Okay, 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.440 so during the pandemic, I fell out, Like when the 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:41.160 pandemic first started, I fell off because I was literally 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:44.520 eating like all day, all night, like I tell a 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.840 story problems like Gelle. I had like, um, a couple 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.600 of ice cream bars. It was like midnight, and I 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:56.520 was like what I was doing that a lot of evil? Yes, 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.240 it was crazy. I was like up all night until 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:01.160 four in the morning. I because we were just like 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:02.960 what is going on? And was just you're just staying 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:07.240 up all night. And and so when I said, okay, 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.159 enough of this, I'm gonna let me get back to 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.080 my internet and fasting. Let me be strict about it. 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:16.920 I I literally lost like fourteen pounds and how long. Um, 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.399 I mean maybe like a couple of months or so. Yeah, 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:21.959 that's right. Well yeah, but that's the thing with um 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.480 intermittent fasting or diets, Like I really try to stay 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.560 away from that word, the term, because it has a 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:32.520 negative stigma to it and be I like intuitive eating. 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:36.120 So listen to your body. When you're hungry, eat, don't 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:40.120 deprive yourself. Um. There's tons of misconceptions in the fitness industry, 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.359 And when it comes to diet, you know, they're like, 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:44.200 I'm gonna starve myself. I'm not gonna eat and then 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.320 I want to be skinny. Yeah, but then your organs 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.880 are gonna shut down. You don't have the energy. It's 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:50.800 not healthy. And then as soon as you do eat something, 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:52.760 your body's gonna hold in store that and use it 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:56.000 as fat instead of burning throughout the day. So you 0:17:56.080 --> 0:18:00.280 definitely want to just intuitively eat. It's it's again nice 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:04.200 concept treating yourself nicely, giving yourself grace, eat what you want. Um, 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.720 not everything obviously, but within reason um. And and really 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:09.960 try to stay away from the junk food. Ordering out, 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:12.520 you can make or duplicate the same foods that you 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:16.000 were eating at Cava or Chipotle, but make it healthier. Right. 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.720 We can control the sodium that goes into our food. Um. 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.520 If you go out and cola is relatively healthy right, 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.000 quote unquote that's what everyone thinks. But I get the 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:27.720 double spicy meatballs and rice and it's so salty, But 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.359 then that's where the water retention comes in. So it's 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.520 a healthier alternative, but it's super high in sodium. Okay, 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:37.359 So talk to me about whole food versus clean food. Yeah, 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:41.040 so it's really the same thing. Yeah, Whole foods are 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:44.000 just foods that aren't processed um and that you can 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:47.520 like your vegetables, your meats, all that good stuff. That's 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:49.520 what it is. I mean, so clean is the same thing. 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:52.720 Clean eating is like no processed foods, no junk food, 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:55.680 no sugar, no alcohol. Oh no, I'm not doing it, 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:59.040 I know, but it works though. It does. But you 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:01.480 thing you made at the whirl like you just walk 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.800 around angry. So what Okay? So for people who not 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:08.560 that they wanna, like, you know, drop a whole lot 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:10.520 of weight, not that they're on like a strict weight 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:12.760 loss program, but for people who just want to live 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:17.159 a healthy life nutritionally, like, what do you recommend like 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:19.280 their day look like as far as eating, Yeah, I 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.399 definitely recommend any type of whitefish, even salmon that's a 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:25.520 little bit fatterier, but that's fine too. It's healthier, um, 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:30.480 lean proteins, chicken, turkey, tuna, flank, steak, any of that 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:32.880 good stuff. And then carbs. A lot of people are 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:36.400 for some reason shy from using carbs. Cars it's what's 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:39.800 helping us build the booty, giving us mass. So I 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.040 can bust out with some pasta. You can bust up 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:43.760 with some whole grain pasta and call it a day. 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:47.480 Whole grain pasta, I mean you can use What about 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:49.240 the sauce? What am I putting on top of it? 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.440 So all? Is it dry? No, it's not dry, m 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:56.080 olive oil, a little bit of palm cheese or again 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:59.439 within moderation, right, I'm not saying restrict yourself, because no 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:01.440 one wants to live, especially right now. I know I 0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:03.440 don't know about you, girls, but I'm used to like 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:06.040 where I find comfort is in food, and I'm with 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:09.000 foodie and so I don't want to roster greedy girls. 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:13.600 We're the worst. If you've ever seen this on television, 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:19.399 we're eating yeah, yeah, it's My mother is like, can 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:24.719 you stop eating on tv? It's just sweet, hurt yeah, hungry, right, 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:30.120 hungry and crazy? Right, So yeah, pasta, brown rice, keen wall, 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:34.920 sweet potatoes. Fruit again another misconception. It's better than you know, 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:39.360 processed sugar, but it's still sugar, right, So again within moderation. Yeah, 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:42.560 I've always shied away from fruit a little bit because 0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:47.320 I've heard that it's it's very high in sugar. And eat. 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:49.520 You know, sugar is not good for you. So are 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.440 there certain fruits to avoid more than others or ones 0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:55.040 to eat more than others? Yeah? I like berries, any 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:59.040 type of berry, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, any of those watermelons 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:03.200 super low and chigar rather than like the other pineapple, papaya, 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:06.160 all that everything serves its terms, Like papaya is good 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:08.800 for inflammation, so with pineapple, all that good stuff. So 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:12.560 really it just depends. Salad another misconception. Everyone's like, oh, 0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:14.639 I'll eat salad all day. Yeah, but then it's the 0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:18.400 stuff that onto right. Salad kind of makes me bloated recently. 0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:21.080
