1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fitness Disrupted, a production of My Heart Radio. 2 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: I am Tom Holland, and this is Fitness Disrupted. When 3 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: I am out and about parties, gatherings, sporting events and 4 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: I'm with people who know what I do for a living, 5 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: oftentimes I am told what diet a person is currently 6 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: on doing. And this has happened for many, many years, 7 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: and I have kind of changed my approach to this 8 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: interaction and usually it's it's much more listening and very 9 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: seldom do I weigh in on it. I just listen 10 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: and people will ask and it's always a difficult discussion 11 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: because I realized that they're trying, that they're struggling, that 12 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: they want to achieve a goal. I was gonna say, 13 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: eat better, but that that's not what it's about. And 14 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: that's what this will eventually get to, is that one 15 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: flawed goal. But it makes me sad, it does. It 16 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: makes me sad because of all the reasons I'm going 17 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: to outline, and I started with seven, I'm at eight. 18 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: I may come up with more. There's so many more, 19 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: but to make this palatable and not too long, I'm 20 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: going to give you eight reasons fat diets are flawed. 21 00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: There are many more. There are many more. And one 22 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: common sensical kind of issue with fat diets is that 23 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: they've been around forever. They've been around forever, the same ones, 24 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: the same ones, and that's a huge red flag, right, 25 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: But it goes to our complete erroneous way of approaching 26 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: health and wellness. And it's complicated. But it's not the 27 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: weight loss, the trying to be a healthy weight, but 28 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: it goes to the industry, and it goes to people 29 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: making a lot of money that don't have your best 30 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: interests at heart. You know, I was thinking about it. 31 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: I love I love reading, I love books, I love 32 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: anything that has to do with longevity and bettering our lives. 33 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: And that's why I feel so fortunate to have this 34 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 1: podcast and the moment listen. I was flying back from 35 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: Tampa the other night, and you know, thanks to WiFi, 36 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: and at thirty feet saw a new book that just 37 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: came out and said, this guy looks really smart, this 38 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: book looks really good. I reached out to him on 39 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: the plane, said I want to have you on my show, 40 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: and by the time I had landed, we had already 41 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: scheduled a interview and bought his book the next day 42 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be added to my collection. But my 43 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: point is this, there are very very few diet books 44 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: in my collection. Now. They're there because I have to know, 45 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: I have to read everything. When someone tells me they're 46 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: on a diet and said, what do you think, well, 47 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: I actually don't have to know the specifics of the 48 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: diet for the reasons I'm going to outline, because all 49 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: fat diets are the same and they're all flawed in 50 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: the same way for the same reason. And that's why 51 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: I'm sad, because I know the struggles that the person 52 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: who is trying that fat diet is going through, and 53 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: I know what they're going to go through in following 54 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:23,239 Speaker 1: the plan, and that's not okay, that's not health and wellness. Alright, 55 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: quick break. When we come back, I'm just gonna give 56 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: you all the specifics and hope that you take it 57 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: to heart, because I know many of you are still 58 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: trying to lose weight. Of course, the vast majority of 59 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: people are at any given time. But there is a 60 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: right way to do it. But like everything else, it 61 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: takes time. But just like exercise, when you do it 62 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: the right way, it works, and it works for a lifetime. Alright, 63 00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: quick break. We'll be right back talking about fat diets 64 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: why they're flawed. And I often talk about how I 65 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: get angry, and often you hear me get angry because 66 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: this is the greatest job in the world and it's 67 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: one of the most important and when I see you 68 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: being steered in the wrong direction, that gets me angry. 69 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: That gets me angry, and I love I give this 70 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: story often. You know, there was a diet book that 71 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: came out way back when, and I was discussing it 72 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: with someone and they said, oh, Tom, you're just jealous 73 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,119 Speaker 1: because this person is making so much money off this book. 74 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: And I was like, Wow, you really don't know me. 75 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: You really don't know me. Making money, first of all, 76 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: was never the primary goal. Er I'd go work on 77 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: Wall Street like all the clients I had and many 78 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: of my family men. That was never the goal. Money 79 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: is good. And then when you take that and you go, oh, 80 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna make money by steering people in the 81 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: wrong direction, telling them to suffer, to suffer and not 82 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: get what they're promised long term. Sorry, that's not me. 83 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: But let's get right into it. Number One reason, and 84 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: you've heard it before, probably, yet people still keep going back. 85 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: They have an end date. They have an end date. 86 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tie this all together because it's connected as 87 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: everything is. And they have an end date for several reasons. 88 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: First and foremost is because they're brutally hard. They're unsustainable, 89 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: or they wouldn't have an end date, and so you're 90 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,039 Speaker 1: just trying to make it to that day. Oh, you 91 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: know the thirty day plan, the X number of week 92 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: diet plan. And listen, I am in this world of 93 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: writing books written the twelve week triathlete. You know there 94 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: there are plans for a reason. But when it comes 95 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: to diets, that right away is one of the biggest flaws. 96 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: It's not something you can do long term, and and 97 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: and the author knows that. They know that, and you 98 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: should never start something that you can't do forever. When 99 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: it comes to eating an exercise, it is that simple. 100 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: And I know what you're saying, Well, I just want 101 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: those two words. It's not it depends, it's jump start, 102 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: jump start. We're gonna come back to that because I 103 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: understand the concept. I get it, but I've really yet 104 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: to meet that person and who jump started with a 105 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: brutal fat diet and then said, oh and then I 106 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: figured it out after after I suffered for three or 107 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: four weeks, then I found the foods and everything that 108 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: that worked for me. No, I'm getting ahead of myself 109 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: a little bit, but that's because it is all connected, okay, 110 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: And number two is directly connected to number one. All 111 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: diets have one flawed goal that is inherently connected to 112 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: the end date of number one. For a diet to 113 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: take off, what does it have to do has to 114 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: get you really great results in a short amount of time, 115 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: significant short term weight loss. And when you study nutrition 116 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: and you study energy systems and energy and metabolism and 117 00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: hunger hormones, but most of all energy. When you study 118 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 1: that the exercise science component of the nutrition, you realize 119 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: very quickly in your studies that there's no healthy way 120 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: to do this. It's fuzzy math. It's kind of like 121 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: that fat burning zone. Fuzzy math. Every single diet fat 122 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: diet work short term. That's why they've been around forever. 123 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: Answered my own question, but I knew it. But they 124 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: work short term. They're unsustainable, they're unhealthy, and they limit 125 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: your calories. Every diet. When you look at the studies, 126 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: because this is science, people were were in that great 127 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: new time where people are talking about follow the science. 128 00:09:53,880 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: Excess weight comes from excess calories. We can have that 129 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: debate and discussion about grilling and left in, but I'm 130 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: gonna get there too, because that's one of the big 131 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: problems with the end date and then making you suffer 132 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: and deprive yourself. What do you think that does to 133 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: your hormones, the hunger and satiety hormones. I think it 134 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: helps them. No. And so when you look at the studies, 135 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: you pick any fat diet, it's decreasing calories. It has 136 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: to be and it has to be significant. And then 137 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 1: let me get you into the beautiful, twisted genius of 138 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: the low carb diets. Carbohydrate molecules attract water. And keep 139 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: this as simple as possible. When you decrease your carbs, 140 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: you're doing two things. You're generally decreasing your calories and 141 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: you are flushing your body of water. Why does that matter? Well, 142 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: when you get on the scale in those first few weeks, 143 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: you are super happy. Look at the weight loss, Well, 144 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: mostly water because you didn't decrease your caloric intake or 145 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: increase your expenditure enough to warrant that number physiologically, impossible. 146 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: It's genius. It's genius, and that's why it's around. That's 147 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: why it keeps coming back because people have that short 148 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: term meaningless gain for the most part, and you're gonna 149 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: pay a prices I'm going to talk about in a second, 150 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: because you're not just losing the water, all right. And 151 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: so there's the end date, and there's the goal that 152 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: the Diet Book Person program has in moving that scale 153 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: as quickly as possible, and there's no healthy way to 154 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: do that short term physiologically impossible when it comes to 155 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: body fat, which is the goal, should be the goal. 156 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: But that's the problem is most people still to this 157 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: day are not using body fat scales, using scales, so 158 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: you're not seeing where that weight loss is coming from. Okay, 159 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: number three, This drives me up the wall. These diets 160 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: do what they often demonize healthy options. Fruit did that podcast, 161 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 1: will continue to talk about that. And that's another reason 162 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: among many that I don't go in depth with most 163 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: people who ask me about their diets because oftentimes they're 164 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: so misinformed about what is healthy and what is not. 165 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: And so many of these diets in getting you that 166 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: short term weight loss, have you eat foods that are 167 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: unhealthy for a short amount of time until you to 168 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: avoid the healthy foods. And this just reeks havoc on 169 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: your knowledge on what you should and should need. And 170 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: one final point here there are many keep it somewhat 171 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: tight today. I try is it screws up your ability 172 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: to understand portions when it comes to healthy foods, so 173 00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: it demonizes the healthy options. And then when if you 174 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: buy some stroke of luck, learn that wait, I can 175 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: eat these healthy options, you don't eat enough of them. 176 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: And I know that sounds crazy, but that's totally my experience, 177 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: and I would argue the research as well. These people 178 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: are not getting heavy eating too many vegetables. People are 179 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: not getting healthy eating too many salads. People are not 180 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: getting healthy eating too many whole grains and lean sources 181 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: and protein. They're struggling because they're not eating enough. They're 182 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: struggling because they've tried these fat diets and got totally 183 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: screwed up with what the average portion is for healthy stuff. 184 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: And you throw in artificial sweeteners and things like that 185 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: in holy cow, now now we're in trouble. And so 186 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: these healthy diets often erroneously demonize the very foods you 187 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: should be eating. And that's such a problem, all right. 188 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: And this again flows perfectly into BE four. These diets 189 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: don't teach you what to eat. They don't teach you 190 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: what to eat. It's this window of time where you're 191 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: going to do something to achieve a goal that isn't 192 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: even the right goal in the right way. Because you're 193 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: losing water, you're also losing something that's coming up shortly 194 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: that is so valuable and so inherently important to your 195 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: health going forward. And so it's not teaching you what 196 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: to do. It's actually teaching you what not to do 197 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: because you can't do it for a long time. Doesn't 198 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: that make sense? I sometimes feel crazy talking about diets 199 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: when I hear not only someone talk to me about 200 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: the diet they're on, but telling me that they're doing 201 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: it again, maybe for the fifth time, six times. Second 202 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: time doesn't matter. They're doing it again. And many people 203 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: do the same diets over and over. Isn't that a sign? 204 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: Isn't that a sign? Because it's not that it didn't work. 205 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: It worked. You lost weight every single person I You know, 206 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: it's maybe not exactly as much as you wanted to. 207 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: But if you follow any fat diet for a short 208 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: amount of time and deprive yourself and suffer and cut 209 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: out and tire food categories. You'll lose weight. It worked, 210 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: it just wasn't meant to work. And guess what, you 211 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: bought the book or you're following the program, and so 212 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: the person made their money. Why go back and try again. 213 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: You did it, You saw the results in a short 214 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 1: amount of time. But you need to go right back 215 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: to number one. That it should never have the end date. 216 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: Why are you gonna constantly suffer and reak havoc on 217 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: your body? Alright, quick break when we come back the 218 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 1: last couple. Alright, why fat diets are It's gonna throw 219 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: in the adjective flawed. We'll be right back al right 220 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: talking about why fat diets are flawed. I'm giving you 221 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: eight reasons. There are many more. There are many more, 222 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: and you just so rarely hear these, and if there is, 223 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: there's so many things that get me frustrated. I don't 224 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: like to say angry, but I do. I do. But 225 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: like it's it's the nutrition side of this whole thing. 226 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: And there are three components to health and wellness and 227 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: longevity and human performance. It's nutrition, it's exercise, and its motivation, 228 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: all right, But when you're being steered in a the 229 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 1: wrong direction when it comes to eating, one of the 230 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: most valuable things we can do feed our bodies what 231 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: it needs, the nourishment, that's unconscionable to me. It's one 232 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: thing to like, tell you to do this crazy workout routine. 233 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: You know a lot of people. You try it. It's hard, 234 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: you burn some calories, hopefully you don't get injured. But 235 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 1: when you're getting bad information about what you should eat, 236 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: and all of these other negative aspects to it, including 237 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: the final one my eighth on which is so important, 238 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: that's just wrong, especially when the author or designer of 239 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: the program knows it is. They don't care. I just 240 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: want to make the money and to be the most 241 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: popular ones. They have to get the greatest results in 242 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: the shortest amount of time, and there is no healthy 243 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 1: way to do that. There's no healthy way to do that. 244 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: You need to understand that. And there's always a cost. 245 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: Can you do it, Sure, do it in really unhealthy ways. 246 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: But even then it's going to be the water and 247 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: there are pharmaceuticals. Right, there's a there's a cost, big cost, 248 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: and the greater the weight loss and the shorter amount 249 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: of time, the greater the cost. Maybe not right away, 250 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: oftentimes not right away, but there will always be a cost. Okay. 251 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: Number five. Fat diets lead you to believe that weight 252 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: loss should and needs to be painful, that you need 253 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: to deprive yourself, that you need to sacrifice, that it 254 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: needs to stink. Uh, And it doesn't. Just like exercise 255 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be horrible, and it shouldn't be the 256 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: same thing goes for eating. And so when people do 257 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: their New Year's resolutions and they say, I'm gonna do 258 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: this incredibly ridiculous amount of exercise, maybe things you don't 259 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: even enjoy, and then I'm gonna go on this fad diet. 260 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna get really tired, but I'm not gonna 261 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: have the right fuel to even more, you know, fuel 262 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: my workouts. You see why it's so flawed. When you 263 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: deprive your body of healthy foods and enough of it, 264 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: how are you possibly going to exercise as well? And 265 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: this is the this is the human behavior side that 266 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: I love. I talked about this in a couple of 267 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: prior podcasts as well. Right self control, right is that finite? 268 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: I would argue, Yes, of course, it is so In 269 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: other words, when you go on a fat diet and 270 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: you're making these choices to not have the foods you want, 271 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: that affects all the other choices. There's only so much 272 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 1: you can beat yourself up with, and then trying to 273 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: exercise and then trying to deal with your kids and 274 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: all the other things work. It's finite self control. And 275 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 1: so when you're doing it in the wrong way with 276 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: a fat diet, no one talks about the psychological ramifications 277 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,239 Speaker 1: of that, not just with your exercise program and your 278 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: nutrition program, but with your life. And so these fat 279 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: diets lead you to believe that to get there you 280 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 1: have to really suffer, and you do, and what happens 281 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: doesn't work long term. Number six. And I just I 282 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: love this kind of realization that I came to a 283 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: while back. You know, diets focus on what you can't do, 284 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: not what you can. What are you going to cut out, 285 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: rather than what are going to replace? Maybe you know 286 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: you're unhealthy options with not all of them to start, 287 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: but it's all about that deprivation cutting out things rather 288 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: than focusing on what you can. And I'm gonna jump 289 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: ahead a little bit, but food is so plentiful. You 290 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: can sit in your house and order anything that's good 291 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: and bad. See my teenage son ordering you know, it's 292 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: his drinks from Dunkin Donuts, like the you know, the 293 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: things they love at that age. And that's okay every 294 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: now and again. But now we can have fast food 295 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:42,959 Speaker 1: delivered to our house. But you can also have healthy 296 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: options delivered to your house. But I'm gonna get there. 297 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: I'm getting ahead of myself. But back to the discussion 298 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: to have with these people who are telling me they're 299 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: on a diet. What did they say, I've cut this out, 300 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: I've cut that out. I'm not I'm not doing sugar. 301 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: I'm not doing bread, I'm not doing carbs, I'm not 302 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: doing anything fun. And by the way, all of those 303 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: things are wrong to a large degree. Especially when people 304 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: say they're not eating sugar, that usually means vast majority 305 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 1: of time, I'm not eating garbage and not eating processed foods. 306 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: They're sugar in a lot of things, people, and they're 307 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 1: sugaring a lot of healthy things. But they say I'm 308 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: not eating carbs. I know that. I hear that all 309 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: the time. And as someone who did natural bodybuilding for 310 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: a certain amount of time, anyone who's done bodybuilding knows 311 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: that when you deplete your carbs, you're miserable. So if 312 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: someone tells me they're not eating carbs and they're not miserable, 313 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: to tell you, I know you're not telling the truth. 314 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: And oftentimes you don't know what a carb is, or 315 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: what foods contain carbs, or how many or you maybe 316 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: often for like a day. But this is the whole 317 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,880 Speaker 1: flawed approach people. And so people tell me what they're 318 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 1: not doing. I don't want to hear that. Tell me 319 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: what you're eating, Tell me the healthy things you're eating. 320 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: Tell me that you found those foods and breakfasts and 321 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: lunches and oh my gosh, I have this greatest salad 322 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: with this and that that, and I can't believe it 323 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: tastes this good and and it's good for me because 324 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: we need to feed our bodies. We need the nutrients 325 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: in the food for our immune systems, for our health, 326 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: for our well being, for our sanity, for so many 327 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 1: depression not getting way deeper than than I want to. 328 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: But you see where I'm going with this. It's not 329 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 1: about what you're not eating, it's about what you are. 330 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: And this even goes to touch on it really quickly, 331 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: intermittent fasting if you're intermittent fast and then eat garbage 332 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: after the window, which any people do because they get ravenous. 333 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: And yes, there are benefits to going stretches of time 334 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 1: without eating, that's in the research, but not the way 335 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: people are doing it, not the way the vast majority 336 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 1: of people are doing it. You need to learn how 337 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: to eat first before you can learn how to not eat. 338 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: It's that simple. You need to be fueling your body 339 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: first and then you can go stretches of time and 340 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: then guess what, it's not. It's not even a challenge 341 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: because when you're fueling your bodies people with nonprocessed foods 342 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: with complex carbohydrates, you're not getting as hungry as you are. 343 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: And this is where the whole flawed approach comes in, 344 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: with the fat diets, with depriving yourself, with not learning 345 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: how to eat healthy foods and enough of it. And 346 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: that's why so many people who are super healthy and 347 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: have figured out the foods that they like that are healthy, 348 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 1: they forget to eat because they're not hungry the same 349 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: way you are when you're not fueling your body in 350 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: the right way. All right, all right, let's start to 351 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: pull this together, and before I do one pot. When 352 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: you have these diets, what do they often do? They 353 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: tell you to cut out entire categories of food? Right 354 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: said that before? And then what do they talk? Slowly 355 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: out of back? Oh, slowly out of back. So you 356 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: go like two weeks and you may totally cut out carbons. 357 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 1: There's something that do, of course, and again you're gonna 358 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: be miserable. Why do you think they add it back 359 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: in If it's not good for you to begin with, 360 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: why are you adding it back in in that way? Well, 361 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: it's to achieve the goal that I said at the start. 362 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: They need you to see those results in a short 363 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 1: amount of time. You gotta move that scale. So I'm 364 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: gonna make you miserable for two weeks. So the scale moves, 365 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: and then I'll let you slowly live your life. But 366 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: you can tell people what, oh, last eight pounds water 367 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:02,199 Speaker 1: mostly two weeks or whatever? What? Why why cut it 368 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 1: out and then and then add it back? Vast majority 369 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 1: of fat diets are so you see those numbers move 370 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: and they accomplished their goal. Not your goal, not long 371 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: term all right, really really important. Final two. You lose 372 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: so much more than body fat, and as I've said 373 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: multiple times, water is what's making that scale move so 374 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: quickly for the vast majority of these fat diets, along 375 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: with the lower cloric intake. But here's the insidious nature 376 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: of it of these fat diets. When you deprive your body, 377 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: when you cut back on calories, you're not only losing 378 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: somebody fat a lot of water, you're losing muscle unless 379 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: your strength training, unless you're you know, taking in adequate 380 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: amounts of protein, and the vast majority of diets don't 381 00:28:55,200 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: do this, And because you're so miserable and fatigued, it's 382 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: really hard to actually do the amount of strength training 383 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: and get in the uh number of protein um grams 384 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: of protein per day that you need to because they 385 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: don't care about that. The diets don't care that you're 386 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: losing muscle. They want you to lose as much as 387 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: you can because that's how the diets get popular again. 388 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: And so when you lose muscle, you are slowing down 389 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:26,719 Speaker 1: your metabolism in the future. I was gonna say permanently, 390 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: but it's not permanent. You can get it back, but 391 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: the vast majority people don't, So you are literally slowing 392 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: down your metabolism. To the point that when you succeed 393 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: at losing the weight and doing the diet, and then 394 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,239 Speaker 1: you go back to eating oftentimes the same amount that 395 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: you did prior, you're going to continue to slowly gain 396 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: weight because you have lost that muscle. You have lowered 397 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: your metabolism. That's horrific. That's why so many people keep 398 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: going back. You're you're slowing on your metabolism, You're gaining 399 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: weight even going back to eating the same number of calories. 400 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: And there's the cycle. Final point kept this pretty close 401 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: to where I wanted to. And there's so many more, 402 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: and I could go in depth, but Daddy would have 403 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: to so much of this information. Just take it for 404 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: what it is. And the last one is this. You 405 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: lose water, right, you lose muscle. One of the most 406 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: important things you lose is hope these diets, and that's 407 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: what angers me the most. That's what angers me the 408 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: most is you think you can't do it because you 409 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: have been successful at doing what you were asked. You 410 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: followed two, four, ten different fat diets and they all 411 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: work for your short term, but you lost muscle and 412 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: you lost hope, and they're unsustainable. That is what gets 413 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: me angry because it's not your fault. And it's rare 414 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: that I say that we have choices. It's not your fault. 415 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: But now that you know, I want you to be 416 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: done with them. If you're thinking of doing them, I 417 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: want you to be done with them. Want you start 418 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: listening to the podcast that I do with the great 419 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: nutritionists and and behavioral scientists, and you know what I've 420 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: learned along the way, and continue to learn because it 421 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: works people. Not in three weeks, but it I keep 422 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: wanting to say, Ah, I make myself laugh anyway. It 423 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: shouldn't be brutal, it shouldn't be miserable. It isn't when 424 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: you slowly do all of these things over time, the 425 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: act fast that I talked about, that protein, the water, 426 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: the stuff you've heard, but you've never slowly added these 427 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: things in and given them time and found what works 428 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: for you. Because you didn't fail at the diet. You succeeded. 429 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: The diet failed you, and you didn't learn anything. You 430 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 1: learned the opposite. You think that it's your fault that 431 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: you couldn't what stay with it. You weren't supposed to. 432 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: Person made their money. You saw fast results, short term, 433 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: and then you went back to doing what you normally did. 434 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: That's the problem. No one there was an end date. 435 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be hard. It doesn't have to 436 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: involve cutting out entire food groups. It shouldn't. We want 437 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: to eat healthy carbon hydrates, lean sources of protein, healthy fats, 438 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,959 Speaker 1: drink your water, and find the foods that work for you. 439 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: So this is where I'm going to end up. Okay, 440 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: I said it before. Food is plentiful, and I just 441 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: had the incredible doctor Susan Pierce Thompson on wrote the 442 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: book Resume a couple other books as well, and she 443 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: talks about food addiction. That's a whole another level. People, 444 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: that's a whole another level. But as I said before, 445 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: we have everything today, the access of vast majority of people, 446 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: not everybody obviously, but food is plentiful for the first 447 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: time ever. They're more issues with people being overweight then starving. Okay, 448 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: especially in the United States, we are very fortunate as 449 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: far as people and and availability of food. There's so 450 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: many healthy options. The problem is these stupid diets and 451 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: the stupid information that you've been told forever. If these 452 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: things worked, you wouldn't have to keep going back to 453 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: them and the term diet I use loosely here. But 454 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 1: I started eating based on all the research over the 455 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: years that I had, you know, read and been reading. 456 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: And what I realized is I follow a Mediterranean style 457 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 1: diet because that's the science, and there's so many options 458 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 1: there that cuts out nothing to end up with this. 459 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,760 Speaker 1: That's the beauty of the Mediterranean diets. You have options. 460 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: That's the opposite of diets, and I get it. Diets 461 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 1: are like workout routines. Tell me what to do, and 462 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: I'll follow it. Tell me exactly what to do. When 463 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 1: it comes to eating, that's not the solutions. Often a 464 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: solution for exercise because you have no idea. You don't 465 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 1: want to get hurt, and so you follow a training, 466 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:11,880 Speaker 1: you follow workout the right one hopefully that's okay. But 467 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: with eating there's that flexibility, and that's the problem is 468 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 1: we have so many options. But that's a great thing, 469 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 1: not a bad thing. And so you need to experiment. 470 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 1: The same journey you have to take to find the 471 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: cardio you like and the strength training you like. You 472 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: have to do the same thing with food. That's awesome, 473 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: that's not a negative. And over time you're gonna find 474 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: foods that satiate you, that fuel you, that make you 475 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: feel better, and trust me that it is not deprivation. 476 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: When you find those foods, you're gonna go, how did 477 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: I eat those other foods so frequently? They don't make 478 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 1: me feel good? And that's where the struggle starts to 479 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 1: go away, because you still eat the other stuff occasionally. 480 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: I still have the fast food occasionally, and I feel 481 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 1: like garbage, and I get the MC girls and I go, 482 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: I did I just do that to myself? But we 483 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,839 Speaker 1: do every now and again.
