Transcript
- 0:04SPEAKER_00: I want the version that does not hurt.
- 0:07SPEAKER_00: So did I.
- 0:08SPEAKER_00: For twenty years, it's a wonderful product and it's not a plan.
- 0:15SPEAKER_00: It's the only sign that it is.
- 0:16SPEAKER_00: A deficit means that your body went and took the difference off of you.
- 0:21SPEAKER_00: Is being hungry a sign it's not working?
- 0:24SPEAKER_00: That sounds like a rationalization.
- 0:26SPEAKER_00: Ghrelin rises when you eat less.
- 0:28SPEAKER_00: Everybody agrees on that.
- 0:29SPEAKER_00: The industry just decided that it was the problem.
- 0:35SPEAKER_00: The hunger hormone, ghrelin, goes up in a deficit.
- 0:38SPEAKER_00: That's plumbing.
- 0:39SPEAKER_00: That's not a character flaw.
- 0:41SPEAKER_00: What is ghrelin?
- 0:44SPEAKER_00: So the shakes and the drugs are a scam?
- 0:47SPEAKER_00: No, they do exactly what they promise, which is help.
- 0:49SPEAKER_00: Why you don't feel the one signal that says it's working.
- 0:53SPEAKER_00: The refrigerator at 9.30 is real hunger, though.
- 0:56SPEAKER_00: You ate at 6.30, you were full.
- 0:58SPEAKER_00: Three hours is not a caloric need.
- 1:00SPEAKER_00: It's a withdrawal wearing a name tag, though.
- 1:05SPEAKER_00: How long does it last?
- 1:07SPEAKER_00: About 11 minutes.
- 1:08SPEAKER_00: Nobody advertises 11 minutes because 11 minutes isn't actually a product.
- 1:14SPEAKER_00: What do I do during it?
- 1:16SPEAKER_00: Say it out loud.
- 1:17SPEAKER_00: This is withdrawal.
- 1:18SPEAKER_00: This is not hunger.
- 1:20SPEAKER_00: Then water, then bed.
- 1:21SPEAKER_00: That's the whole skill.
- 1:25SPEAKER_00: Because that is when it gets loud.
- 1:27SPEAKER_00: And why does everybody quit at three weeks?
- 1:30SPEAKER_00: But it's exactly when somebody is standing.
- 1:32SPEAKER_00: They're holding a product to sell you.
- 1:36SPEAKER_00: The industry spent 30 years learning exactly how to keep you coming back.
- 1:40SPEAKER_00: You're still the only one who can walk away.
- 1:44SPEAKER_00: The gentle version had 20 years to work on me.
- 1:47SPEAKER_00: You got yourself here.
- 1:48SPEAKER_00: So whose fault is it why I'm here?
- 1:53SPEAKER_00: That's a little harsh.
- 1:56SPEAKER_00: What's the actual protocol?
- 1:58SPEAKER_00: You're getting yourself out.
- 2:02SPEAKER_00: Beef, chicken, eggs, fish, vegetables.
- 2:04SPEAKER_00: Short enough to say out loud and actually remember.
- 2:08SPEAKER_00: If it has an ingredient list, you don't eat it.
- 2:11SPEAKER_00: Nobody has ever negotiated a nutrition label onto a piece of broccoli.
- 2:16SPEAKER_00: That's the entire thing.
- 2:19SPEAKER_00: Sounds miserable.
- 2:21SPEAKER_00: A hard seared steak with salt, a fillet of fish cooked in real butter, point to the misery.
- 2:28SPEAKER_00: So what are days one like day three like?
- 2:31SPEAKER_00: Headache, irritable, feels like failure.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: That's the substance leaving you, not the food failing.
- 2:39SPEAKER_00: 134 pounds.
- 2:41SPEAKER_00: How much did you lose?
- 2:44SPEAKER_00: That is the impressive part.
- 2:46SPEAKER_00: Four pounds, 365 down to 231 under eight months, no surgery, no ozempic, and no coach.
- 2:54SPEAKER_00: It's arithmetic, not the achievement.
- 2:56SPEAKER_00: The achievement was the first night I didn't open that cabinet.
- 3:02SPEAKER_00: Fatty liver reserves in Is it too late for me?
- 3:08SPEAKER_00: Should I stop my blood pressure medications in weeks?
- 3:11SPEAKER_00: Blood pressure moves inside a month.
- 3:13SPEAKER_00: Not yet.
- 3:17SPEAKER_00: No, I am not a doctor.
- 3:19SPEAKER_00: Ask for a baseline panel and a 90 day retest and let them taper.
