00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fitness Disrupted, a production of I Heart Radio.

2
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: I am Tom Holland and this is Fitness Disrupted. I

3
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: get a lot of pitches for the show topics guests,

4
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: As I say frequently, the vast majority will never make

5
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: it here because it's garbage. It's bad science, it's bad advice,

6
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: it goes against human behavior, it's not something you can

7
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: follow long term. It's just not it's not good. And

8
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: I get him daily, and now that we're in the

9
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: holiday season, I'm getting them more and more and for years,

10
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: and I still do it to this day. But you know,

11
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: I get the media requests how do we navigate holidays?

12
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: And you read about all this weight gain during the holidays,

13
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: and of course there's science and research to that effect,

14
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: of course, but it's because we got it backwards. People,

15
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: You got it backwards. You don't deprive yourself on the

16
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: days when you should enjoy yourself and you should eat

17
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: healthy on the other days. So that's the topic of

18
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: today's show. Fit Tip, healthy Halloween candy. I don't think

19
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: sellis was a pitch and just received guests who could

20
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: come on and talk about healthy Halloween candy, not even candy,

21
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: healthy Halloween treats. You lost me. I'm done. I'm not

22
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: reading much further than that. You know, for years I

23
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: would have those media outlets reach out Thanksgiving? How do

24
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: we eat less? How do we not over eat? You?

25
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: Don't you do eat more on Thanksgiving? People? If not,

26
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: then when? And I'm gonna take this down to simple math.

27
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a very quick fit tip, but

28
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: super powerful because it's backwards all this stuff that you've

29
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: been reading for years and and you know it's not working.

30
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: It's not working. And it's like the Seinfeld episode where

31
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: George Castander goes, you know it's opposite day. I'm gonna

32
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: do the opposite, and what happens, It works for him

33
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: almost exactly what you should do all the time when

34
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: it comes to nutrition and exercise. When it comes to

35
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: these self proclaimed experts who will not come on the show,

36
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: I don't care how big your following is, it's not happening.

37
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: And so especially when it comes to kids healthy Halloween treats.

38
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: When when are your kids gonna have candy? That? But

39
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: like what other holiday I can think of? None? And

40
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: if you're someone who never gives your kid candy, Okay,

41
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: My problem with that it surprised people to hear that. Yeah,

42
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: we have a big candy drawer at home. It's treats,

43
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: it's dessert, it's of the time. And so let's just

44
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: go to that simple math, which I I'm almost always

45
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: bringing it back to for good reason. I don't like math.

46
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: But this is simple math. It applies to so much,

47
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: not just eating performance math. Fitz Gerald, you know, two

48
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: weeks away from my next iron Man at the time,

49
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: I go easy, easy training, not hammering all the time,

50
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: not trying to beat a weed aboard. That's twenty pent

51
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: of the time. Same with nutrition and so many other things.

52
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: And so let's do that math. Let's do the math

53
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: of five days in a year. Times that's two days

54
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: where try to eat as healthy as possible. You go,

55
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: that's a lot, you're right, But let's do the math

56
00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: as well for times that's thirty seven days. Now, this

57
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: isn't perfect. Listen, if most people went fifty fifty, they're

58
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: gonna get super healthy because it is true. Obviously not

59
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: hard numbers, but more people do at the time. They'll

60
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: have a salad one day, one meal, go for a workout.

61
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: They'll deprive themselves for a short amount of time fat diet.

62
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: So if you think about it, thirty seven days, that

63
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: sounds like a fat diet for many people. Oh it

64
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: was not a diet for a week, and then you know,

65
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: did this other thing for two weeks another There you

66
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: go it for most people. So let's take that thirty

67
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: seven thirty six point five round up to thirty seven days.

68
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: Those are all your holidays. That's your birthday, happens once,

69
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: that's one day out of the thirty seven. Then your anniversary,

70
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: then Christmas if that's what you celebrate, a friend's birthday,

71
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: a vacation, Halloween, Thanksgiving. It's gonna be hard for you

72
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: to fill out all seven with those special occasions. But

73
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: that's where they fall. So I'm not finding healthy treats

74
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: for my kids on Halloween, that's me. They're not getting

75
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: an apple, they're getting wise fun size smaller. It's not fun. No,

76
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: they're getting candy, and sure if they have a pillow

77
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: case full, I mean pilfer some they don't need at all.

78
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: They don't need to be eating it for a month.

79
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: But they're gonna trick or treat and they're gonna eat

80
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: some candy. We're gonna teach our kids moderation, and we're

81
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: gonna show them that we followed moderation as well. First

82
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: and foremost, it starts with us as parents, get to

83
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: model it for them. I'm not gonna do it. If

84
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: we don't do it, why should they. I'm gonna exercise.

85
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: If we don't, why should And so that's the fit tip.

86
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: Take the Georgika stands away to the opposite of what

87
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: you oftentimes read? How did not overread on Thanksgiving? Again?

88
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: If if you don't overad on Thanksgiving, you know you

89
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: got five brothers. There's a lot of food sweats going

90
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: on at Thanksgiving, a lot of unbu button ng the

91
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: top button on the pants. That's when we eat those

92
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: social situations, not April. That's meaningless. That's not when you

93
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: go off the rails. But when you're eight or seventy

94
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: thirty or even sixty, you enjoy life. You don't do

95
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: much damage. Care what so many of these experts say.

96
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: It's just not true. When it's thirty calories to gain

97
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: a pound, try taking in an extra sixteen thousand calories.

98
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: It's not easy, and a brother pretty much tries. But

99
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: when you do it infrequently, that's living. So there you go.

100
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: Enough fit tip, healthy Halloween candy. I don't think so.

101
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: I don't think so. It's a time and a place

102
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: for everything, and we need to teach our kids and

103
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: we need to be models of Desserts are for a

104
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: reason and a time. Candy is okay, you just don't

105
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: do it all the time. Extremes are easy, and those

106
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: people who tell you they never do something like that,

107
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Anyway, thank you for listening. Quick

108
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,560

115
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: not just science, human behavior. It's even more important than
