  SPEAKER_00: Okay, what can I say?
• 0:01
  SPEAKER_00: I'm still stuck in the 80s.
• 0:03
  SPEAKER_00: All right, so there's a lot of talk about monodiets, eating one type of thing.
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_00: And I have to tell you, if you're carrying around a lot of fat, you have been for a while, it might not be really a one-thing problem.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: It might be you have an addiction that you need to put to rest.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_00: How to do that?
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's the obstacle.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_00: But people say eat one type of food.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_00: You have you have keto, carnivore, and we can go into all the health things and all the benefits.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: And if it's something that you're able to stay with, then good for you.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that might work over time.
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_00: But it really is time on a particular plan without you sabotaging it or going against it.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: Sardines, big thing on the market.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody's talking.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_00: Well, just eat eat one meal of sardines or a couple different meals or a few cans of sardines a day, but that's it.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: While they say that that is really healthy and good for you, that one clean thing, and maybe it is, is that changing you?
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: What happens?
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: Is it sardines forever and ever?
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: Because if you go from eating everything else, the donuts, the pizza, the pasta, the bread, the sugar, the fruit, the everything, all of those things, drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes and, you know, slamming smack, you go from that to sardines only, you're going to see some amazing changes in a very short period of time.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: And that's great.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: But did you fix the problem?
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: The problem.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: What is the problem?
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: The problem is the addictive mentality and that dopamine hit that you get when you do some of these other things.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: You eat these highly palatable foods, these engineer foods that basically they reduce to powder and reconstitute.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: In fact, reduce it to powder in such a way that they have to put enrichments, enhancements, additional vitamins, because I mean they're they're basically just giving you nonsense.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: So they have to enrich the flour, enrich the whatever.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: And when they enrich it, then they have to inject more chemicals in there so it has some kind of a vitamin component that they, of course, stripped out in the beginning because they pulverized it down to a powder that hits your brain like you know you're snorting coke and it just nails it.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: Now, I've never snorted coke.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: So and I, if you have an addiction to that, that's that's a tough one.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: But they say, they say it's up there with sugar and cigarettes.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: It's right there.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: Alcohol's another one.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: These are all addictions.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: If you stop drinking, great, and then that fixes it.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: If you stop doing cocaine, great, fixes it.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: Stop slamming heroin, stop smoking cigarettes, stop chewing tobacco, stop doing all of those things because all of those things you don't need.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: You need water.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: You can't you can't go without water.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: You need hydration, but you don't need cigarettes, you don't need coke, you don't need heroin, you don't need these other things.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: You can stop those food, though, you need food.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: So that's the problem.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: And there's so much misinformation on every side about it.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: But sardines, yeah, that's hitting everything.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: So let's let's let's unpack not the sardines, whether that's good or bad for you, but back to the original intention is yeah, would it help?
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: If you're eating donuts every day, if you're eating pizza every day, if you had a food addiction and you're eating, you know, massive, massive things all day long, and you've been doing this for a while, that's not only an addiction, it's also a habit.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: And I would say there's two different things.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: There are some habits that are okay.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: There are other habits that are not okay.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: And there are some habits like getting out of bed in the morning.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: That's probably a good habit instead of just laying there all day.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_00: And God forbid, if you lay in bed all day, I'm sorry.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: There you need some help.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: Unless you can't get out of bed because you're sick, and there's and then maybe hopefully, you know, I pray, I hope, I hope that recovery is somewhere in your future.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_00: But those are good habits.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: The bad habits is you know, hitting the donut shop every day on the way to work, even though you try to talk yourself not, or ending up in a jack in the box drive-thru or McDonald's drive-thru or Wendy's drive-thru when you try to talk yourself out of it, but you're there.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: It's like rote, it's like habit, it's like you're in you're in the space.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: Now, for sardines or any type of one type of food, maybe you're just gonna eat hamburger every day, maybe you're just gonna eat chicken every day.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: If you go from eating everything all in in excess to controlling and eating this one thing, then yeah, you're gonna see a massive difference.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: At the very beginning, if you go to this, you're gonna drop 10, 15, depending on how fat, how big you are, you're gonna drop that much what weight.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: That's a huge amount of weight.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be majority water, very little fat.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, you know, if you drop 20 pounds, which if I'm eating carbs and sugar and gluttonous and gluttonous waste because of my addiction issue with food, if I'm eating all this crap for a long time, you know, I can tell my ankles swell, my joints hurt, my sleep sucks, I have acid reflux, I feel horrible all the time.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: But once I stop, if I were to go to this, eat this one thing or fast, that water, 20 pounds of water will come right off.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: 20 pounds.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: And the change and that feeling is amazing.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: But I continue that process only to have it screwed up because I'm addicted.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: And maybe, maybe that's where you are as well.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: So we have these offerings from eating this one type of food, and that's great, and that's lovely.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: But as I mentioned before, it it's not so much the sardines, and sardines, I mean, they're they're not great.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's not pizza, it's not apple fritters, it's not crullers, it's not donuts, it's not uh it's not uh buttermilk bars, it's not old fashions, it's none of that.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's kind of fishy, and depending on what type you get, you know, they're they're fishy.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_00: They're just they're all kind of fishy.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: Some some kind of taste like tuna, that's not too bad.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: Then you got other ones with the bones and the skin and the and the uh fins.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't know.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: But it everybody's talking about it, and sure, absolutely it works.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: How long can you go?
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: And how long is it going to take you doing that?
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_00: Will doing that reset your brain?
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_00: That's something else I noticed.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_00: Whenever I try to move into that world of eating one thing, the the portion size, when I able to control the portion size, that's part of my problem.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: I want to eat a lot.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: I want to eat massive portion sizes of things.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: When I'm able to maybe switch down to like this, for example, this has gives me time for self-reflection because this is what I'm going to eat.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: This is the time I'm going to eat it.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's going to be once a day, for example.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm going to eat it one time.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: And it's going to be this particular amount, not three cans, not five, not ten, two with onions, and however it's going to be prepared, but it's going to be the same.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: So I have to have self-reflection in that process and think about the other times that I eat.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_00: Even if it's carnivore, keto, like healthy, like real foods like hamburger and eggs and these sorts of things, whole foods, right?
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: When I'm eating that, it's still part of the addictive process because it's eight or ten hard-boiled eggs.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_00: It's a pound and a half of ground beef.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_00: It's, you see, the volume.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: So pulling back, I have to get rid of the volume thing.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_00: So maybe this is a good plan because it kind of resets that volume.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_00: I don't have to eat as much, but now I have to be prepared.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_00: If I'm going down this road and eating this one type of food, I have to be prepared to stop eating this one type of food.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: How long?
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: How long can you go?
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: A month, a couple months?
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_00: If you're really strong, maybe longer.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_00: Now, then the other side of that is that is that good for you?
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_00: Because you're cutting out other things that your body might need, other kinds of vitamins, other components.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know the answer to that.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not a doctor or dietitian, but how long does the process get to go while you're still remaining healthy?
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: Um, when does is scurvy part of this?
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: What when does this sit in?
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: Are you having enough?
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: Are you having too much?
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: How does it all work?
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: But part of the process.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: Think about it.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: Now, triggers, right?
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: This is the addictive process, and I'll I want to break this down into five things.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: Trigger, stress, boredom, a feeling you don't want to feel.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_00: Trigger stress and boredom.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: Huge, huge deal.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: Stress and boredom, that's why we end up doing things that we probably shouldn't be doing because we know they don't give us any forward advancement.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: They take away from our longevity, they take away from our happiness, and they take away from the times that we need to remember that we would be better off not being inflamed, not having all the crap, all this extra fat sitting on us.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_00: They would be better, but that's one of the triggers.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_00: Cravings.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: The mind reaches for the off switch ritual, the reach, the open, the hand amount.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: Um, we used to arrest uh people taking heroin and talked to a couple, I mean, really addicted people, Skid Row LA.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: And when we would get them into booking, you know, depending on how down they were, uh they were able to communicate.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: So they had just injected maybe, you know, 30-40 minutes before we found them, and it's against the law to have it in your system.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_00: We can prove and all that.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: So we take them to jail, whether you agree or not, this is just the story.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: So we would get them in, and they would talk about the ritual behind the injecting of heroin, the preparation, the the getting the the piece of heroin and the putting it in the spoon and putting in the cut and putting in the water and doing all of these things.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_00: The the whole preparation thing was really part of that ritual was part of the enjoyment, part of the high.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: Um, cigarette smoking.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: Here's another one.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_00: I remember packing the cigarettes, packing the cigarettes, and then you know, undoing the plastic, and it had a certain feel, the plastic wrapper.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_00: It was very crunchy.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: They didn't have to make it like that, but you get that that ear, you hear it, and you feel it.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: Very crunchy.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: And when you when you crumble it, it doesn't stay crumbled, it comes undone.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_00: The type of plastic that they used.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: That was all engineered on purpose.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: And then pulling off the aluminum shield, and then seeing the cigarettes, and then that that smell of the tobacco and the cigarette.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_00: There's all part of the deal.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_00: It's not just the smoking that was good.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_00: It was the preparatory up until the smoking.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_00: The ritual with the food, it's not just that.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_00: It's the picking up the phone to make the order, it's the pulling into the parking lot, it's the getting into the right-hand lane to head to that jack-in-of-the-box drive-thru and getting there and sitting in line and contemplating how good this is going to feel when you get in there.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's horrible.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_00: Relief.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, this is the other thing.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_00: Eating eating all those tacos and just shoving them in and burning the inside of your mouth.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: But that it's like it's good.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_00: And then you're sitting there, and then for a few moments, that few moments is lovely.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_00: Ask anyone.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_00: There's that moment when you're taking drugs or you're eating eating food in excess, a certain type, the highly palatable, processed food, engineered for that addictive process.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_00: And it's like, it's like perfect.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: But then the real life comes in, and that lasts not too long.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_00: But we forget that.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_00: It's that moment that makes it all worth it to sabotage the whole other thing, the whole quality, the whole pain thing.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: You you're dealing with with systemic pain as a result of your dietary choices, but you would rather have the shitty choice and sacrifice 95% good times.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_00: And it's only 5% that you have these nasty, these nasty, this nasty thought process throughout the day.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_00: Now, if you're truly addicted, you know, maybe it's maybe it's 7% or 10%, but realistically you have other shit to do.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: Now, if you have more time than that, you're gonna have to pull away.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe this is a good way.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_00: And then of course you repeat, you just keep going.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: Now, you can eat perfectly and you can still be addicted.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_00: Again, having, you know, do I really need 10 hard-boiled eggs and a pound and a half of beef?
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_00: You know, the brain in me and watching all the bodybuilders I have all my life and wanting to be, you know, always stronger and larger and tougher and blah, blah, blah.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: That's all an ego trip.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_00: And that's addiction as well.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_00: Doing these videos helps me too, because it reinforces the truth and the contemplation I need to have more often instead of eating half a dozen donuts or more, or eating, you know, even when I'm eating good, eating, you know, eight, ten eggs and a pound and a half of something.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, probably too much.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_00: But absolutely, cleaning off your plate.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: And I watch this people with kids.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: Just like I was when I was a kid, you got to finish your food, you gotta finish everything.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if that's good advice.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if ketchup is good.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you you give them ketchup, good luck, give good luck them living without it.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_00: If you haven't had kids yet and you're thinking about it, yeah, I I don't know.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_00: Salt, pepper, ketchup, seasoning.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I I would almost say if you can control it so they never taste it, or at least until they get 1820, they've grown a habit of not having it.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_00: When they have ketchup, it's like it's too much.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_00: But we start them early with the ketchup.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_00: You don't the kids don't need ketchup, but also the food that we give them, the baby food, it's full of sugar and carbs.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, fight that one.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_00: Change the process, not the plate.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe, maybe doing this one type of food thing would fix certain people.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe just having that commitment to do that for a while might do it.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_00: But there's always a time when that stops.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_00: They call it sustainability, I guess.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe that's more for food.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_00: But basically being able to do a particular type of diet, like how sustainable is it?
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_00: How, how can you do this all the time?
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_00: Is it gonna work?
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_00: And maybe, maybe with fasting, you can't fast forever because eventually you'll die.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_00: You got to get your doctor's blessing and all this stuff.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: So don't put that aside.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_00: But if you start the fasting process, maybe, maybe for a while you go three days every week.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_00: You could probably do that okay, depending on your health and medicine and these sorts of things.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_00: But there's there's limits to everything.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_00: How sustainable is it?
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_00: Now, could you go without eating anything refined the rest of your life?
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_00: I think so.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_00: If you just eat whole foods, things without a label, things that you know directly from farm to table type stuff, yeah, probably you could.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_00: Um, it depends on how your lifestyle is conformed.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_00: Because if you if you're a foodie and have to go to restaurants and do reviews, yeah, farm to table isn't going to be good.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_00: It's not gonna work.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_00: And if you have family members that are all about the food, probably not gonna work either.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_00: But there are ways to to make it work.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_00: You just have to look at your lifestyle and process, and even in those situations, yeah, you could muscle that through.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_00: You could have everybody be advised this is the way it's going to be because you're dying, you're dying a slow death.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_00: So, does it really help?
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it could.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_00: You can reverse your addictive to the your addiction to those highly palatable foods.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_00: It's gonna take time.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_00: But once you get off of it, it depends how you treat that breaking of this particular dietary restriction you put it.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_00: Are you embracing it in order to accept all the good that comes from it and then continue the process of eating maybe a limited amount?
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe that's what you're trying to prove to yourself.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_00: Plus, you feel a lot better.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_00: So eating that way, that type of food in the repetition for a few days probably will bleed off a lot of water, a lot of inflammation.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_00: You're probably gonna feel better.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_00: But is that process really going to continue in the future?
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_00: That's that's a you choice.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_00: That's something you need to consider.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_00: So this is this is where the work is.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_00: You gotta you gotta figure out why you're doing things.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_00: Mine, a lot of me was boredom.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_00: I would just go into the drive-thru.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, there really wasn't any thought.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_00: I wouldn't even think, is this good or is this bad?
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_00: That's a shitty place to be because you're doing it in secret.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_00: You wouldn't dare tell anybody else.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_00: The only person watching, the only entity watching is God and the cameras, and the people at the drive-thru that know your order and probably are chuckling in the kitchen.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my god, here's that guy again.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_00: He's so fat, I can I all I can see is his face in the camera, and he's ordering 16 tacos, two large curly fries, and two large Oreo cookie shakes without the whipped cream.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_00: I know, is I think maybe I thought there was more without the whipped cream, but yeah.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: So are they laughing and hucking it up behind you?
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_00: It's like ordering Diet Coke with it.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_00: Diet Coke is just extra filling on top of it.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_00: And that's kind of funny at restaurants for servers that have people come in, they'll devour an Olive Garden, you know, five, ten, fifteen baskets of breadsticks with Alfredo sauce and order a Diet Coke without ice.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you very much.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you very much.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_00: Sit in the craving, it's peaks and passes, proving that once rewires it.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_00: This it's it's very cyclical.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_00: Hunger is very cyclical.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_00: That's usually people's problem.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_00: They feel hungry, but a lot of times it's not pure hunger, it's boredom masquerading as hunger because your brain isn't stupid, it knows what you want.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_00: And as we evolved, whenever a human being would find something good in a certain place, the body, the brain would give them a reward because now they found food, and food wasn't plentiful like now.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_00: And we had a lot more time in that world than we've had in this, you know, the cigarette companies owning these made major food conglomerates and making this food super, super addictive like they did with cigarettes.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_00: We haven't been in this world that long, and our bodies aren't accustomed to it.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_00: We haven't evolved to macro or micro, whatever it may be.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_00: We haven't gotten to the point where our bodies are able to accept this new food, and you see people eating crap, but if you really watch, it's not that they're different genetically, it's not that their bodies handle it.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_00: It's just it might look like they're eating shit all the time, but if you pay attention, and if you were to really watch them all day long, you would find out, yeah.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_00: If you ate like that, you would be in their shape as well.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_00: I think that applies to a lot of things.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna get pushed back on that, but there you go.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, interrupts the ritual, change the hands, the pace, the cues.
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_00: That's where this could do it.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_00: You you have a certain commitment you're gonna make with yourself.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_00: The issue is if you make the commitment and you mess it up, how do you come back from that?
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_00: What's that decision process?
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_00: If you make the commitment and you go out and you, you know, you say I'm doing this, but on day three of sardine only, you hit the jack in the box drive-thru or whatever your sin happens to be, where do you start again?
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_00: Do you just say F it and keep going?
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_00: Well, no, because you've done that before.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_00: That doesn't that one doesn't work.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_00: You've done it.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_00: Done it plenty of times.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_00: I've done it thousands.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_00: How many times I tried to quit cigarettes and then try to quit eating.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's still the battle.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_00: You know, it's more winning than losing now.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_00: But when I screw it up, if I do, I forgive myself.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_00: I don't keep it going for the next five weeks and put on the 30 pounds that I was able to torch off in six months, right?
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, maybe moving and then shift the identity.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe, maybe not, I can't, but maybe it's just not part of you.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_00: I I wouldn't imagine shooting heroin.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_00: If somebody had, if I walked into a place and there were all these great-looking people there and it was some big part, everybody was happy, and it was just the happiest moment of my life, and there were doctors there that would have you sit down and they would give you a dose of of heroin or morphine, whatever.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_00: I I would say, no, I know me, and I know that I would be trying to find that the rest of my life.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_00: So I have to stay away because I'm very I I get addicted like that.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_00: So I don't want it, I don't want it.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_00: Cocaine, same thing.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_00: If you go into a place and they had pharmaceutical grade cocaine, they had doctors there and staff, and hey Connor, this is part of the process.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_00: If you want to join our little collective, you're gonna have to.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm sorry.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_00: Not for me, not for me.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_00: White cat food be the same way.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_00: You go to a party and they have uh all these super palatable, high sugar desserts everywhere.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_00: Cruises, oh my gosh.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's just like Wally.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's just it's what a mess.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_00: But there it is.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_00: And going on a cruise, what do you eat?
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_00: They have plenty of hard-boiled eggs, they have plenty of bacon, sausage, probably, they have plenty of sausage, but everything else, that's probably about it.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_00: And the eggs themselves, probably not, if they're mixing it in scramble, it's probably got milk in there to cut it to give more volume.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_00: So you have to even watch out eating scrambled eggs at places because they're probably loading it with milk, and there's a lot of sugar in milk.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_00: Believe it or not, I know it doesn't taste like sugar, but yeah, you got some carbs in there, so watch out for that.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_00: All right, maybe instead of an I can't person, maybe I just that's I just don't do that.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_00: And you have to think, I I don't drink bleach.
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know about you, I don't drink bleach.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_00: I I just wouldn't think twice if somebody said, Hey, eat this can of shoe polish.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I no, no thanks.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_00: If they have a gun to my head and eat it, well, maybe things are different.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_00: But it's not very often people put a gun to your head and say, Eat shoe polish.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_00: There we go.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_00: That's a sardine diet.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_00: And maybe, maybe some of this will help you see what you need to see.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_00: I'm Connor with Honor, the last addiction.com.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: And it is uh it is food.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_00: We'll see you in the next one.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_00: Thanks for watching.
