Ivor Cummins, thank you for joining me in the trenches.
0:41
No. Great to be back again.
0:42
Yeah, certainly interesting times, as the Chinese would say.
0:47
The last time you know I chatted was a few years ago, actually.
0:50
Oh yeah. I mean, it was just, it was
0:52
comical to watch. I mean, obviously it's a
0:54
tragedy, but it has funny elements.
0:57
So COVID and all that nonsense went through and then suddenly
1:00
it was dropped like a hot potato.
1:03
And I think it was because the game was up and the system was
1:06
realising, you know, a large minority of people know that
1:10
this thing is ridiculous, you know, with Omicron and all that
1:12
stuff. So across the UK and Ireland.
1:15
And then generally within a few days it just, it just got
1:18
dumped. But then Ukraine immediately
1:22
replaced it. Like it was just a straight swap
1:24
of actors. And then we had monkey pox and
1:26
that failed bird flu. Recently more wars in the east.
1:32
It's just non stop kind of psyop, proxy war lunacy really.
1:36
And that's the world we live in. You know, you might as well get
1:39
used to it and not be phased by it.
1:41
I often try and advise people on mental health and mental
1:44
strength and resilience and you just can't be getting phased
1:48
about stuff beyond your control. You must focus on your circle of
1:52
control, not the circle of concern.
1:54
But that's a long story. But yeah, that's what I try and
1:56
help people now with my workshops online on mental
1:59
strength and critical thinking, etcetera.
2:02
You know, it's just a time for people to do what they can to
2:05
spread awareness, do what they can to resist the lunacy, but
2:10
not get down, not get miserable, not get nervous or anxious
2:13
because that gives a win to the bad guys.
2:16
You know, I, I try and explain that to people, even in the
2:18
family, if you get in any way down or nervous or apprehensive,
2:23
you know, it weakens you and the bad guy smiles.
2:26
So you just can't allow that. How could you allow giving a win
2:30
to the evil mofos up top who are driving this?
2:35
You can't do that. Come on guys.
2:37
People have now forgotten. It's that's just a psychological
2:41
defence mechanism. I mean you've gotten the
2:43
population as you well know, you've got around 30% who are
2:46
lost who are just Marxist leftist, just will follow
2:50
anything, trust the experts regardless.
2:53
So 30% are gone, 10 or 20% critical thinkers on a good day,
2:58
you've got a big bunch in the middle who knows something's
3:00
wrong, but they don't want to stick their head up and be
3:02
called a conspiracy theorist, so they keep their mouths shut.
3:05
That's roughly the population. But the 30% who are gone, they
3:09
just automatically won't get into the topic because as far as
3:13
they're concerned, we did the right thing.
3:16
And then the masses in the middle kind of know something's
3:19
rotten and they worked it out in the end and they realised the
3:22
conspiracy theorists were correct.
3:24
And that's very embarrassing and it's very difficult for self
3:27
esteem. So you have to forget it.
3:31
It's kind of that is in a nutshell.
3:34
Yeah, the term conspiracy theorist became a thing.
3:37
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I'd come across it
3:40
somewhat because since 2013 I was out in YouTube about
3:44
cholesterol being nonsense and fat being healthy and
3:47
carbohydrate being the problem and all that stuff, you know,
3:50
low carb type stuff. So I'd come across it whenever
3:53
you threaten industry or oligarchies, you'll begin to
3:57
come across it. But it was, you could ignore it.
4:00
It was just an amusement when a cholesterol expert lipidologist
4:05
would really lose his his nuts in an argument and you'd beat
4:09
him and then they'd start wailing conspiracy theorists.
4:12
So it's the lender of last resort.
4:14
I mean, the most ridiculous kind of slur, but but that's all
4:18
you've got. But yeah, you're right.
4:20
Since COVID, it came out of the gates not as a lender last
4:24
resort, as a massive psyop, wall to wall psyop morning, noon and
4:30
night. Every single nuance of
4:32
questioning the experts got the label.
4:35
So yeah, it was nuclear, nuclear fusion, thermonuclear device,
4:41
use of conspiracy theorists. And we know, of course, I
4:45
believe the the genesis is the CIA and the intelligence and the
4:49
military in America did a brilliant idea.
4:52
They had all these new weapons and he had lots of locals very
4:55
curious, particularly, you know, maybe anti government types.
5:00
And people were sniffing. So they got this one idiot who
5:03
had a very fanciful imagination and they used Asians as fake
5:08
whistleblowers and they just fed him information about aliens.
5:11
That's perfect. So this guy gets a following and
5:14
he goes out to him at aliens and suddenly you've got all the
5:16
masses not looking at the ball and it's and it's perfect.
5:20
And that's what they did again and again.
5:22
And it's like the big lie, the perfect thing.
5:25
Make the lie so big and so absurd that most people won't
5:29
believe it could possibly be a lie.
5:31
And we got loads of big lies, right?
5:34
These are very clever tricks and very simple, but very effective.
5:37
Yeah, unfortunately. Would you go back to 20190?
5:43
Wow, that's a question I often comment with the family and part
5:47
of it is to kind of make light of things towards what I
5:50
mentioned about having people. There's no point being anxious.
5:54
I mentioned that we're living in the most exciting times.
5:57
I mean back in 2017 I was working full time as a manager,
6:01
technical manager and and master technologist in corporate.
6:04
So I was a corporate whore and life was OK.
6:08
I had all my cholesterol and fat and YouTube world and going
6:11
giving lectures around the world on on interesting stuff.
6:15
So that was good. But now we we're living in a
6:19
world that is fascinating now it carries a load of a threat.
6:23
There's a danger to the future of our children, our
6:25
grandchildren. It's serious stuff.
6:28
It should be really disheartening and worrying, but
6:31
I'm inclined to say truthfully on behalf of the people which I
6:38
always work for. At the end of the day, I'd
6:40
rather it was 19 because I can't wish the lunacy of what's
6:45
happening on people, right? That's not right.
6:49
But outside of that myself personally, yeah, I like the
6:53
excitement and and the thrill of battle against these evil
6:57
boogers. It makes life really
7:00
interesting. I I think it's all to play for.
7:02
We can lose and end up sharing the last cigarette, but in the
7:05
15 minute city, it could happen. But if we did what we called
7:09
before that, we can be stoical about that or the whole thing
7:15
could roll over and collapse under its own weight, which
7:17
we've seen signs off regularly. So I think it's all to play for.
7:21
And I love the militaristic feel to it that we're not just moping
7:25
along like we did for decades. We're now involved in a kind of
7:29
a great battle of sorts. It's very invigorating.
7:33
So I kind of, I'm, I'm caught on that one to be honest.
7:37
Just before we started recording, had scrambled eggs
7:40
and bacon. Well, that's the perfect
7:42
breakfast. And in myself and Doctor
7:45
Gerber's book Eat Rich, Live Long, Yeah, we have 5060 recipes
7:49
and a chef, but yeah, we have many egg based breakfast style
7:52
recipes. So the perfect breakfast is so
7:56
quick, all you need is, say, a half dozen eggs.
7:59
There's no point eating one or two eggs and it's a joke, you
8:02
know, it's like having one beer. Come on stupid.
8:07
But you get around 5 or 6 eggs and you make an omelette and you
8:10
can put in chopped chives and you can put in some mushroom or
8:14
green Peppers. I like bell Peppers, not hot
8:16
Peppers, maybe some ham or whatever.
8:19
You throw in whatever you have and do this big omelette and
8:22
cover it in salt. It's delicious and it's a
8:25
superfood. Eggs are superfood.
8:27
Organ meats are superfood. Fatty, well reared meats are
8:30
superfoods. A fish or superfood?
8:33
These are the superfoods. The list I just gave, it kind of
8:37
runs out after that. I mean, these leafy green
8:40
nonsenses, they're not superfoods.
8:42
They might have a few minerals and they're they've got some
8:44
utility, but superfoods are nutrient dense.
8:48
They're animal based foods. So yeah, that's a perfect
8:50
breakfast. And my wife even sometimes does
8:53
liver for breakfast. I'm not crazy on liver, I know,
8:57
like my mother did when people were wise.
9:00
But I'm not crazy on organ meats unless they're cooked just
9:06
right. But then I did develop a organ
9:09
ultra supplement with extended life in New Zealand for people
9:12
who don't like organ meats. You know, you still should get
9:14
the goodness. So that was a very terrible
9:18
segue on my behalf. I went from 2019 to breakfast.
9:22
But I'm I'm doing that because that's your strength.
9:25
I mean, it's like over the last I just mentioned to people, this
9:29
is around 6789 years ago. When you think about it, you
9:34
don't want to get into conspiracy theories and I often
9:37
wanted to stay away from that with the low carbon nutrition
9:39
work I did for a decade. But I would say to people, if
9:43
you look at all the health choices, even pre COVID that
9:47
were made by the authorities, think of it like flipping a coin
9:51
and tails is getting it wrong. Can you flip a coin 12/13/14
9:56
times and get it wrong in a row? We'll do the math.
10:00
It's, it's extremely unlikely, but they got it wrong on
10:04
cholesterol, wrong on fat, wrong on the song, wrong on salt.
10:10
You go on and on over 50 years and probabilistically, you know,
10:15
it's not the constant stupidity that makes them get the wrong
10:19
answer every single time. And what it is, is it's industry
10:25
and it's it's interests and they always push towards making the
10:31
population unhealthy because the food industry, it needs cheap
10:36
poisonous foods to make money and to get shelf life like
10:39
vegetable oils and refined carbs.
10:41
They cost nothing and they give shelf life.
10:43
So and they're addictive. So they that's why the food
10:46
industry does it. It's not a conspiracy theory,
10:48
but there's another benefit that as people get fat and diabetic
10:53
from their food, they actually get more hungry and they eat
10:57
more. So there's a built in growth for
10:59
their Wall Street numbers, right?
11:01
And they know this at the top. So the food industry is doing it
11:04
for all those reasons and they're funding the nutritional
11:07
colleges. Most of the money now is
11:09
flooding from industry to fund the nutrition councils and
11:13
training of nutritionists. So they've captured the whole
11:16
space as corporates do. But then you've got big Pharma
11:20
and they fund nonsense, of course, because they make so
11:24
much money from the cholesterol nonsense.
11:26
But also there's a kind of a synergy there.
11:30
The food industry is feeding them customers by making people
11:35
sick so they can sell their anti hypertensives and all their
11:38
other junk and their cancer medicines, to be quite honest.
11:42
So you've got these two biggest industries in the world, big
11:45
pharma, big food, massive industries with lobbying up the
11:49
wazoo and practical ownership of the FDA and their food
11:53
regulation authorities and what to expect?
11:56
Yeah, the coin is keep will keep flipping on the wrong side for
12:00
1/2 century. So there's no conspiracy.
12:04
There is a conspiracy, but it's so obvious.
12:06
It's it's not like subtle or hidden and that that's the whole
12:10
food and pharma. And when COVID came up, of
12:12
course, you don't have to think about it for a nanosecond.
12:16
The authorities were pushing this ridiculousness for the
12:21
vaccine, which probably is for the global digital ID for CBDC
12:25
down the road. Fine.
12:26
So that's obvious. But they want the people to be
12:30
sicker and more depressed and locked down because it makes
12:34
them malleable and it works with the COVID programme.
12:38
So yeah, they're going to stop everything healthy and and just
12:41
have them as sick and deranged as possible.
12:44
Why not? And and that was it.
12:46
It was pretty. They're pretty sick puppies.
12:49
I mean, up top, you know, a lot of useful idiots down lower.
12:53
I mean, if we're honest about it, and I went through this in
12:55
many videos, most of the officials driving this were
13:00
largely hypnotised themselves. Deep down they probably thought
13:03
this is a bit ridiculous, but they know that their job and
13:06
their salary depended on getting on board, but they kind of
13:09
convinced themselves it was somewhat legitimate.
13:12
That's the massive army of useful idiots across the world.
13:16
But if you move up the top, it's a relatively small number of
13:19
people who pulled all the strings.
13:21
I mean, a great example. I'll finish on this.
13:23
The masks. The masks in summer of 2020
13:26
across Europe and America. Astonishing.
13:30
And I thought, right, we've got the whole summer till next
13:32
winter now. And our group of doctors and
13:34
professors in Ireland, COVID recovery, I told them art of
13:37
war. We own the terrain now.
13:39
From April, May, right through to probably October, the virus
13:45
will awaken or the whole winter thing will start.
13:47
We own the territory, so let's make hay while the sun shines.
13:51
And then the clever boogers up the top and no one knows exactly
13:55
who or what panel it came from. So high up you couldn't tell
13:58
where it came from. But very high up the word came
14:01
down the pyramidal structure mask, those little boogers.
14:06
And it happened within a week or two with prison sentences and
14:10
fines came in coincident with the masks.
14:13
They didn't bring in the masks in the middle of the summer when
14:15
the hospitals were empty and nothing was happening, which is
14:17
absurd as it stands because people would say hold on a
14:20
minute. So they brought them in with the
14:23
prison sentences and emergency laws so they could force it home
14:27
from the get go. And they did.
14:29
We had an Irish granny down in Cork who refused to wear them
14:32
and she went to court several times and they put her in prison
14:35
for a few days for not wearing a filthy piece of cloth over her
14:38
face. So it's crazy isn't it?
14:40
They are sick puppies. Other than vaccines and
14:45
mainstream media, what are the chronic causes of disease?
14:51
Again, or disease. Yeah, I have a simple thing just
14:54
for lay people, and I say OK, Devil's triad. 2 words.
14:58
Devil's triad. What's the devil's triad?
15:00
It's the root, the largest root of modern chronic disease across
15:06
the board, whether it's type 2 diabetes which causes nearly all
15:08
heart attacks or heart attacks, which are nearly all type 2
15:12
diabetes, or any of Alzheimer's, which some would call type 3
15:16
diabetes. So you see where I'm going here
15:18
and Parkinson's, one or two have begun to suggest type 4
15:22
diabetes. So this insulin resistance,
15:24
hyperinsulinemia, blood glucose malady is probably 80% now of
15:31
Americans over 45 are essentially diabetic at some
15:35
level. So this is the big thing.
15:37
So what's the root or the, the, the, the, the pillar that that
15:41
is built on all that suffering. Devil's triad sugar, refined
15:47
grains, refined wheats and seed oils made in chemical plants,
15:51
the vegetable oils supposedly heart healthy that are
15:54
inflammatory and toxic, disgusting milk.
15:57
And that's the devil's triad. And the problem with the devil's
16:00
triad is if you generally don't eat sugar, which is great, and
16:04
you don't buy bottles of seed oils or use them, that's great.
16:09
And you don't use refined grains, you know, and you don't
16:13
really use wheat at all, you're personally, that's great.
16:16
There's still a massive problem. This is what gets people.
16:19
Ultra processed foods are around 55% of the calories eaten in the
16:24
UK in the BMJ report a few years ago.
16:28
Ultra processed roots or foods are built on the devil's triad.
16:33
So you got to be a label reader because most of the foods you're
16:37
reaching out. I'll give an example.
16:39
Seed oils. I mentioned dreadful.
16:42
OK, Hellman's mayonnaise, big brand, look in the back,
16:47
delicious mayonnaise with eggs and stuff.
16:49
Really healthy. Yeah, 78% seed oil, 4/5 almost
16:56
seed oil. And that's just an illustration.
16:59
You got to read the labels and the first few ingredients, the
17:02
ingredients are legally put in order of the amount of them.
17:06
So in the first several ingredients, if you see real
17:08
food and good stuff and then down the bottom, maybe there's a
17:11
little bit of something might be OK.
17:14
But when you see Hellman 78% seed oil up the top, wow, enjoy
17:21
poisoning yourself. And, and this is the problem
17:24
Devil's Triad, which the processed food empire is built
17:28
on. And it's most of our calories
17:30
nowadays that that's the big thing.
17:32
And then if you add in the other things, a lack of nutrient dense
17:36
meat, fish and eggs and organ meats is a problem.
17:39
Minerals and vitamins of various sorts depending on the person
17:43
can be a problem, but we don't. Each person's different.
17:46
But magnesium, potassium and a few other key ones are important
17:50
or you probably have problems and lack of sun exposure.
17:53
UV, vitamin D, nitric oxide, all the stuff you get from sun
17:58
exposure. A lack of that is a risk for
18:01
chronic disease. And then the lack of exercise
18:05
I'd acknowledge. But I think if you just do
18:07
resistance training 20 minutes twice a week and do some weights
18:11
to failure and press UPS, you'll kind of cover the the exercise
18:16
gap. You don't need to do much. 50
18:19
minutes a week you'll you'll probably tick that box.
18:23
There's probably other things I've forgotten but if you fixed
18:26
all those things, remove the devil's triad ultra processed
18:28
food. Eat meat, fish and eggs and
18:30
nutrient dense food primarily. Do a little bit of good
18:34
exercise. Get as much sun as you can
18:36
without burning without burning and a few more things.
18:42
If everyone did that, chronic disease would just fall off a
18:46
Cliff over the next weeks, months, years, and most of
18:50
pharma would kind of have to shut down because hypertension
18:54
would disappear. I mean, it would be, it would be
18:58
astonishing if that were done, but the industry is making sure
19:01
that that will not be done, of course.
19:04
When you talk about these things, people tend to push back
19:08
a lot, particularly when you say, well you must cut back on
19:11
your sugar or your or your. Carbs.
19:13
I eat pasta and I'm healthy and look at look at India and and
19:17
look at China with all the rice. Yeah, absolutely.
19:20
The whole, the whole Japan, China, India Blue Zones thing,
19:24
it does confuse a lot of people. So if you're eating rice,
19:29
unprocessed rice with 0 vegetable oils or wheats, let's
19:33
say, and your subsistence people who has to struggle to get
19:39
enough food, lean and needy like these vast populations.
19:44
If you're a subsistence and you're using rice as a base
19:47
calorie and you're getting just enough to keep you going along
19:51
with these ancient peoples in the old days always targeted
19:55
nutrient dense foods. They made sure they got hold of
19:58
whatever fish or whatever meat they could get.
20:00
It was highly prized. So you're targeting nutrient
20:03
dense foods, but in fairness, there ain't easy to get.
20:07
So you need basic bulk calories as well, like rice if you live
20:11
in that way out in the sun with healthy.
20:15
Non stressed kind of traditional societal values, not the modern
20:20
stress. So you don't have that problem.
20:23
You've got these meats, fish and eggs and these bulk calories
20:26
from rice and you live like that in a subsistence level.
20:30
You won't get diabetes. You won't get any problems.
20:33
OK. But yeah, if you are a Western
20:36
person now who's overweight with a little bit of an issue from
20:40
eating the processed food in the Devil's triad, it is absolutely
20:44
a very tricky path to try and do an ancestral Indian diet.
20:50
You still have to remove all vegetable oils and sugars.
20:53
Remember that you have to remove refined wheats because wheat is
20:58
in independently toxic. So you still got to do most of
21:01
the stuff. But you eat mostly rice now and
21:03
fish and meat, but you got to eat it really sparingly.
21:06
Remember subsistence? So no one in the West is going
21:09
to replicate fat ancestral type scenario.
21:13
So comparing to it is absurd. But a lot of people don't get
21:17
the nuances and what I just said.
21:19
They like you said, they just say oh, but they eat rice.
21:22
Well, India by the way is diabetes ridden, right?
21:26
There's foot feet coming off in India, Italy or in India being
21:30
amputated every 5 seconds. So once the vegetable oils got
21:34
into India and the modern sugary drinks and the other stuff, they
21:38
just exploded in diabetes. Japan's not too bad, but again,
21:43
Japan were doing the same thing. Women would titrate the amount
21:46
of rice they eat to maintain their body weight at an
21:49
acceptable level. So if Japanese women, this goes
21:52
back 100 years or more, this was documented, I think turning the
21:56
century. If a woman had an illness and
21:58
got very skinny or was hospitalised and needed to put
22:01
on weight, they'd, they'd increased their right portion,
22:05
they knew it would build weight. And if a woman was a bit fat,
22:10
she would reduce her rice and focus on the meat, fish and egg
22:14
side. And the French women were the
22:16
same with bread. They titrated bread.
22:18
The joke in France decades ago was go over 25.
22:23
You got to start being real careful with your bread.
22:26
So all of this stuff is understood.
22:28
But to the layperson, you know what you said, they, they have a
22:31
simplistic view of it. It's tricky.
22:35
I go hunting, so I guess I'm already a few points ahead of
22:39
everybody else who buys the meat from the store.
22:42
No, that's that's perfect. And and it will tend to be
22:45
leaner meat in general, but that doesn't matter now if that's
22:48
where the flavour is. And a lot of vitamins just.
22:51
Just just cook it in butter. Exactly.
22:53
You can add that's the perfect thing.
22:56
And in Ireland, funny enough, not because we're all super
22:59
planned and strategic around having healthy meats, we just
23:02
happen to have such vast grasslands that grass fed is the
23:06
economical way to have the herds in Ireland and still largely is.
23:10
So we automatically get grass fed healthy.
23:14
And we we banned all these antibiotics that America allows
23:17
completely legally. So Ireland happens to have grass
23:20
fed super meats. And even McDonald's in Ireland
23:23
uses 100% Irish beef in the patties.
23:27
No wheat, no nothing. They get the fat content high
23:30
enough it's a binder and the patties.
23:33
If you go in an order like 6 or three double cheeseburgers and
23:37
you throw away the bones, you're eating nutrient dense superfood.
23:41
People don't. People get confused about that
23:43
as well. They think everything in
23:44
McDonald's is junk. Depends on the country.
23:47
I'm not sure about the patties in other countries but in
23:49
Ireland you've got superfood McDonald's.
23:52
If you don't take the drink or the vegetable oil soaked thighs
23:55
and you throw away the bones, you got superfood, the sauce,
24:02
the sauce. But again, the dose defines the
24:05
poison. So I looked up years ago what
24:08
was in McDonald's sauce and to be honest, it's sugary.
24:11
But the little dab that they put on the burger, I wouldn't get
24:15
too anal about it. Like you're talking less than
24:18
the teaspoon of sugar. And to be fair, yeah, it's very
24:23
small, but wipe it off if you want to be purist.
24:25
But the main thing is the bones, the fries, the drinks and
24:31
everything else but the parties. Boom.
24:35
Is that why everybody has become fat?
24:38
Yeah, essentially. I mean, look, it's a complex
24:41
thing because they're second order effects.
24:44
So you know, when people begin to get fat, they bestow fatness
24:48
propensity upon their children. So women who are insulin
24:51
resistant kind of predispose their babies to come out of the
24:57
at birth as insulin, high insulin, insulin resistance.
25:02
So you're, you're make, you're making a problem as you begin to
25:05
get fat that's getting 2nd order roll on effects.
25:08
And that's why the curve went up so bad since the 70s and 80s.
25:12
It's just, it's just like an Inflexion point straight up and
25:15
then it levels off as it reaches absurdity.
25:17
That's where we are now. But this problem, even if you
25:22
fix the food supply because of the 2nd order effects on all the
25:25
fat mothers and all this, there's nothing sexist about
25:28
that by the way. It's just a biochemical fact.
25:31
Very overweight insulin resistant mothers create part of
25:34
another added problem. So if you kind of begin to fix
25:37
things, the obesity won't come down really quickly because
25:40
you've built a hysteresis into the problem.
25:42
It's become so big and it's got inertia.
25:47
But but that aside, what caused it broadly, it was not lack of
25:51
exercise. People often try to say we
25:55
stopped exercising. Well in the 70s and 80s, they
25:57
changed the food guidelines and they basically worked with
26:01
industry and said eat vegetable oils and eat carbs.
26:06
And they meant give them some credit.
26:09
They meant eat low. Fat everything's everything was
26:11
low fat. Oh, exactly.
26:13
But but because it was low fat, you've got to eat something
26:18
else. And the answer was eat vegetable
26:21
oils because they're not saturated fat and eat
26:24
carbohydrates. So the low fat obsession just
26:26
led to eat this crap. And to give them credit, a lot
26:31
of them did intend you to eat lots of vegetables carbs.
26:36
But what happened was industry came in with the refined wheat
26:38
and it was inevitable the carbs people were going to start
26:41
eating. We're going to be refined carbs
26:43
because that's how our industry was going.
26:45
So the reality they had the devil's triad since the 70s and
26:50
80's, the devil's triad exploded, which I mentioned is
26:55
the root of modern chronic disease.
26:57
The devil's triad was just blessed by academia and the
27:00
experts as what you should eat. So they blessed the Devil's
27:04
triad. So go figure.
27:07
And and then the obesity and diabetes just just took off.
27:11
And during that period in engineering and I do a critical
27:15
thinking master class online now and you know, there's
27:19
comparative analysis, Kepner Trego and you look at what
27:23
happened and the different States and you do compares.
27:27
Well, what did come up with the problem?
27:30
What did not come up? And the hilarious thing is the
27:33
red meat that they talk nonsense about.
27:35
That's all geopolitical. There's nothing to do with
27:38
health but all this anti meat thing.
27:41
The red meat per capita came down across those 40 years while
27:46
the problems went up and what went into up was vegetable oils
27:49
and carbs. Clearly the red meat went down
27:52
and what it went up was chicken, but real, real nutrient dense
27:58
red meat went down. So at one glance you can tell
28:01
well and the exercise, the exercise did not change enough
28:05
to have any real impact on this. Lack of exercise is certainly
28:08
now a problem in the last 20 years, but the curve was heading
28:12
a way up without the exercise changing.
28:14
In fact, there were periods of obsession with gyms going on in
28:17
the 80s and 90s. There was a boom and all that
28:20
fond of crap. And so, yeah, it's just so
28:23
simple. I mean, that's just what
28:25
happened. That's it.
28:29
I grind my beans and I drink coffee with cream.
28:33
I've tried it with butter. I've tried.
28:35
It with butter, it's just too rich.
28:39
Yeah. On the top, little bubbles of
28:42
oily buttery. The flavour of butter is
28:44
delicious melted onto some things, but in coffee it doesn't
28:48
work. Yeah, I agree.
28:52
No, that doesn't work. And and then have bacon and eggs
28:56
or have some sort of high fat breakfast and you, you sorted
29:00
for the day. Absolutely.
29:01
And then you know, and then last night, for example, I made a
29:04
rump steak. I fried it in a bit of olive oil
29:08
and and butter. I'm not.
29:10
I want to ask you about olive oil.
29:12
And, and, and I did a type of very simple salady thing on the
29:17
side with carrot and beet, not beetroot, cabbage, ginger, one
29:22
and one or two other things. It was delicious and very low
29:26
carbs. Yeah.
29:27
And you feel great. Oh, and I had a glass of red
29:29
wine with my wife and I feel amazing.
29:32
Yeah, I usually have bit too much of the wine.
29:34
That's that's my only naughty risk.
29:36
That's why I said, that's why I said a glass, because I'm, I'm
29:39
very liberal with what a glass means.
29:42
Well, you know, I won't ever like and agree with you.
29:46
Yeah, a glass. But do you know the comedy
29:48
glasses that they dish and some of the mean?
29:52
That's probably about the glass I have.
29:54
But yeah, I mean it's, I mean it's.
29:56
A glass that It's a glass that holds 750 miles.
30:00
Yeah, I'm familiar. Do do as I say, not as I do.
30:06
And I'm often honest in my weight loss master class and
30:09
health. I did one last night actually 2
30:11
1/2 hours roughly. I have the green screen up here
30:14
by the way, but I couldn't do a background on Riverside.
30:17
But but behind the screen is a 75 inch touchscreen, a big
30:20
Samsung. So I do a class with a black
30:23
kind of curtain and this huge screen and you can do
30:26
interactive examples. It's actually working pretty
30:29
well. But then yeah, I mean, that's
30:31
that's I have one meal a day. Generally it works for me.
30:35
It keeps my life simple all day long from when I get up.
30:39
I have the coffee with double cream so I'm not totally fasted,
30:43
but I'm not anal about it. And all day long I can work with
30:47
no interruptions for lunches, breakfast, yada, yada, yada.
30:51
And I know at the end of the day at 5:00 or 6:00 PM, I'm going to
30:53
have my evening meal and I look forward to it.
30:57
And hunger is a good sauce, right?
30:59
So I'm not too hungry during the day.
31:01
I'm fine. It's a habit now, but but I know
31:04
what's coming. And I really, you know, I really
31:07
enjoy it when it comes women, I think, and I explained this last
31:11
night as I always do, broadly females, 2 meals a day seems to
31:16
work a bit better and males, it seems one meal a day is
31:20
achievable by anyone. Once you get fat adapted and
31:23
you're off the carbs for a week or two and you level out and you
31:26
can burn your own fat with impunity, then you can merge to
31:30
one meal a day and change your life.
31:32
It's the way to go, it's the way to go.
31:34
You know another funny thing, German just occurs to me a
31:37
performance drug. So for me, fasting is a
31:40
performance drug. Now that sounds silly, right?
31:42
That sounds like a acupuncture or homoeopathy or whatever you
31:46
want to say. No offence to people who are
31:48
into that, but you know, things that would not be automatically
31:52
obviously good. I when I was giving lectures
31:56
back 2015 sixteen, I was new to big audiences outside of
32:00
corporate. So I'd done big talks in
32:03
corporate with 5080 people, but now it's beginning to be invited
32:07
to conferences with 56800 people.
32:10
And it was new to me. So one of the edges I used and
32:15
it worked great. I would not eat anything for at
32:18
least 24 hours or maybe 28 or 9 before I went on stage.
32:23
And I go on stage completely fasted my brain running probably
32:27
60% on beta hydroxybutyrate from the ketogenic state I was in and
32:33
40% glucose, whereas everyone runs on 100% glucose.
32:37
I think that's part of it and brain derived neuropathic factor
32:41
goes up with BHB from keto. So lots of papers in this
32:46
showing the brain works differently and it works better
32:50
in that state. So it was a performance drug and
32:53
to be quite honest, I'd be scared to go on stage in those
32:56
days if you forced me to eat a meal two or three hours before,
33:00
I'd actually be concerned. Now, after a while, I could get
33:04
open front 50,000 now and I couldn't care less.
33:07
But back then in the early days, it was an edge and it is an
33:10
edge. And I think evolutionarily this
33:13
is just a guess. I have not seen this written,
33:15
but if you have no food for 24 hours in ancient times, that
33:21
usually wasn't because you wanted to fit in a nice dress,
33:24
right? That was because you didn't have
33:26
food. And that's as dangerous as it
33:28
gets in the wild. So I think in the first few
33:31
hours after food, you feel hunger because the system wants
33:35
to make sure you keep nourishing yourself.
33:38
That's OK. But after around 24 hours and I
33:41
hear a two days, you get a kind of euphoria of clarity.
33:46
Well, that makes sense because after a day or two with no food,
33:49
you're now at high risk as far as the system's concerned.
33:52
So you can't be going around muddled from lack of food.
33:55
You need to be the opposite. You need to be hyper hunter,
33:58
right? So you got to work.
34:00
You got to fix something here or you're dead.
34:03
So I think that's part of why when the brain switches over
34:06
with lack of food to beta hydroxybutyrate, it operates at
34:09
a sharper, more clarifying level.
34:12
Your your, your responses. Everything gets clearer.
34:16
It's hard to describe because most people don't go 24 hours
34:19
without food. You should try it, it's amazing.
34:23
But I've you're just talking nonsense, all that's required is
34:27
just a balanced diet. And eat a little and often,
34:31
regularly, 6 or 7 times a day. That's what industry says.
34:35
Don't skip your breakfast. Have a snack if you feel hungry.
34:38
A healthy carbohydrate snack. Yeah, go figure.
34:42
It's like the coin again, right? It flipped up.
34:44
It flipped on the wrong side again.
34:46
They tell you to eat regularly. That's not good.
34:48
Because when you eat and digest, it takes quite a bit of energy.
34:52
And hormones all rise and change and all of that disturbance is
34:55
not ideal, but you need to do it because you need to eat.
34:59
But if you eat the right foods, it minimises it.
35:02
And if you only eat once a day, you get 24 hours of the day each
35:06
day. You are free from all those
35:08
hormonal disturbances and all that machinery having to work.
35:12
I mean, it's just super ideal to do 1 meal a day for Homo
35:15
sapiens. And I think that's
35:18
evolutionarily that's what kind of happened.
35:20
Hunters got up and they weren't going to sit down to a big feast
35:23
of eggs and whatever. Generally they went out hunting
35:27
all day and I think generally then they feasted when they got
35:30
back with the kill. I think that's broadly our
35:33
heritage and you're you're maintaining that heritage now.
35:37
Personally, I like that with the hunting.
35:41
I mean, can you hunt in Ireland? Oh yes, I was from the age of 13
35:47
or 14. I was very lucky as a city boy.
35:50
My pal locally in Dublin City is Father of the Farm around 50
35:54
miles away in the middle of nowhere and we got to go down
35:57
Wednesday nights and weekends for years doing turf hay baling
36:02
in the summer, fencing cattle moving cattle crushing, painful
36:09
and all of that stuff. And he would also, he was very
36:12
libertarian and he'd say be careful with those guns lads.
36:16
This is what Mr Quinn would say. But he would allow us to take
36:19
the double barrel, 12 bar and the single barrel with us when
36:22
we were 14, maybe 13, and go down the fields and down to the
36:26
bog and the furs with our pockets full of cartridges.
36:30
And he just told us to be careful.
36:32
But he let us that freedom, which was fantastic.
36:34
Nowadays it's the opposite, as you know, and that's the way it
36:37
should be. Occasionally 11 accidents.
36:39
Look, shit happens, but kids need to be out there doing and
36:42
learning. He would also let us take the
36:44
tractor, the Massey 35X, the classic old tractor, and he
36:49
would let us take that on the little public road and go a
36:52
couple of miles to go fishing. So we go fishing in the tractor.
36:56
We had transport at the age of 14.
36:59
It was fantastic, but hunting mainly pigeons, you know,
37:02
pheasant, occasionally rabbits, but the mix of A totals, it
37:06
wasn't good for rabbits in my day and the occasional fox
37:10
because they were kind of predators that were caused quite
37:13
a bit of trouble. And just vermin also.
37:16
But pigeons, you go out and stubbles with plastic decoy
37:20
pigeons, you're sure you're well aware.
37:23
And when you get it going, you can come back with a dozen
37:25
pigeons. And you know, you pluck the
37:28
breast, it's not where roasting them.
37:29
But if you pluck the breast and just take the breast meat off,
37:32
garlic and butter in the pan, lots of butter.
37:36
Delicious. I've never shot a bird.
37:40
Oh, an avian. Hopefully that's nasty.
37:57
When I talk about hunting, I talk about generally antelope
38:00
back. Yeah, that's the classic South
38:03
African 2015. I was into Cape Town because my
38:09
funder at the time covered the trip because I was going to the
38:12
first big low carb conference, Knox's.
38:15
And it was great because everyone there I found out knew
38:17
me from my Youtubes. So I was a bit embarrassed going
38:20
in. But Knox, when he saw me, ran
38:22
over and gave me a bear hug and I never even spoken to him
38:25
because he knew about my cholesterol conundrum video that
38:28
went viral and he'd referenced it on radio shows, which is
38:31
great. But I was there and we got the
38:33
meats and they brought us out as well.
38:37
We went out on a not a safari. We went to a wine producing
38:43
place on a bus ride towards Johannesburg and we went for
38:48
probably 50 minutes. But it was beautiful and we had
38:51
all these meats like you know, wild meats and it was just
38:54
fantastic experience. It was superb, superb.
38:58
Tim he's the reason why I changed my lifestyle.
39:03
He's a great, great man and he was on my show a few weeks ago.
39:08
Great. Yeah, I'm sorry.
39:11
Go on. What I was going to say that I,
39:13
they invited me to their big nutrition conferences going on
39:16
around now, but you know, I've just, I have a lot of stuff on.
39:20
I would have loved to go on, but it's 1314 hours flight and stuff
39:24
going on with family at home. Like it didn't suit.
39:26
But I would have loved to go back and meet them all.
39:28
But I hope it goes well for them.
39:31
Yeah, that flight, that's the killer.
39:35
It's, I, I travelled a lot on business to Singapore and
39:39
sometimes China and Thailand with my corporate, you know,
39:43
when we had huge factory bills going on.
39:46
And yeah, Singapore, it's kind of tough From London, you go to
39:50
London, it's an hour and then you got your 12 1/2 hour.
39:54
It's long, but I kind of got used to it.
39:57
And nowadays I think the thing for flights is I need to
40:00
download using, I don't pay YouTube.
40:04
I use the YouTube downloaders. And I download a lot of
40:08
interesting material. Well, I mean, I don't make them,
40:13
so I'm not doing anything illegal.
40:15
They can follow it up. But why 12D?
40:17
Or there's all these different named ones.
40:19
But you know what? They're very clever.
40:21
I know you're kind of into IT. What they do is now the YouTube
40:26
downloaders used to just download it in 1080, just put it
40:29
in. And sometimes they pop up ads,
40:31
sometimes not. But now what?
40:33
They do the good ones. You can download it in 360 P
40:37
poor definition which is fine for the phone, for the airline,
40:41
for on a plane. But if you want the high
40:44
definition you can download the video and you can separately
40:47
download the audio but not the two together.
40:50
But the great thing is you can always download both and if you
40:53
video edit like you do you just put them back together but the
40:57
layperson can't get them easily. But luckily I can, so it was
41:01
just a side thought. But yeah, play it.
41:03
It's a long journey now. It's not time zone, it's only an
41:06
hour or two time zone different. So the least there isn't that
41:10
like West Coast with the 8 hours or Singapore with the 8 hours
41:13
and the 12 hours flights is tougher than South Africa I.
41:19
Was going to say what do you use to shoot?
41:22
Pigeons, all the classic shotgun, a couple of shotguns
41:26
and I have one since I was 17. I My first shotgun I bought was
41:31
A5 shot pump action Remington. I was probably watching too much
41:35
American TV and I quickly I realised it was not a proper
41:41
hunting gun and yeah, it didn't even fit me well.
41:45
I could tell I was hitting very little.
41:48
So I had made a stock for my friend's father, that great guy
41:51
I mentioned, he had a broken stock gun and I made when I
41:55
carved it from a block of walnut that I bought in Chatham's in
41:58
Dublin, a timber importer. And I said I wonder could I make
42:01
one? And I did and it worked well.
42:03
I carved it with spoke shaves, shaped all handling and machined
42:07
out the action with chisels and it worked great.
42:10
So I said to myself then I wonder does any of the gun
42:13
dealers in Dublin have one with a broken stock?
42:16
And I asked them and 1 gun dealer had a nice little mariks
42:19
of Spanish side by side, you know, not an amazing gun but a
42:22
nice little Spanish gun. And I convinced him to sell it
42:26
to me. And he was very cynical.
42:28
He said, oh, you can't make a handle for a stock for this and
42:31
all those 3 tonnes pressure when you fire a shotgun and a lot of
42:35
pressure. Of course he was mixing up the
42:37
pressure in the barrel and the actual, you know, impulse to
42:41
your shoulder. But anyway, so when I went back
42:43
a couple of weeks later with the new stock, French polished, he
42:46
wasn't laughing then. So I've had that since I was 17.
42:49
I have another shotgun. I have a high powered hunting
42:52
air rifle and air arms. Lovely, lovely 22 proper 32
42:58
jewel. So like you can take out say a
43:02
pigeon at 50-60 yards no problem.
43:06
And yeah, that's, that's what I have.
43:08
I sold my rifle many years ago because I wasn't using it much
43:11
in Ireland. Maybe it's a good thing to have
43:14
nowadays, the way things are. What rifle didn't?
43:18
So which rifle did you sell? Oh, I sold it in my mid 20s.
43:22
It was a Bruno Czechoslovakian Brno 22 with A5.
43:28
It was a lovely little go on and I sold it because I just wasn't
43:31
using it. But in A5 shot magazine.
43:34
But it was just a 22 standard long rifle.
43:37
So probably if I was going to get a rifle now and there are
43:40
some people doing deer in Ireland and I do have
43:42
connections. During COVID one guy wrote to me
43:45
and he's big into it and he offered to bring me out and I
43:49
never followed up. I was too busy so but I'd look
43:52
into that and then get something kind of proper like a 223 or
43:56
something maybe. You mentioned Czechoslovakian.
43:59
I've got a Czechoslovakian rifle.
44:01
I've got a CZ 600. It's a 3/8.
44:05
Three, eight. Yeah, that's more like it. 3
44:09
three O 8 not 380. Sorry, I'm thinking yeah, 38
44:13
Special calibre, but no, no, no, of course three O 8 is common
44:18
hunting. Yeah.
44:20
What are you going to hand with the 3/8?
44:22
Well, that's what you said There's I thought it was 38
44:25
calibre, but obviously not the New York cops Snoop Nose.
44:30
But I I didn't know that there wasn't a 38 calibre rifle.
44:34
Hunting rifle sure, there's probably all kinds of stuff
44:38
because if you watch these guys in America, my son was watching
44:41
them like demolition ranch and there's these guys in Texas with
44:44
big YouTube channels and they're firing all kinds of arms.
44:48
So you do get to see every calibre you could dream of,
44:51
including, well, the, well, of course, the classic 50 Cal, the
44:56
the BMG or the what's the. I've shot that, I've shot that.
45:00
That's incredible. That's a weapon, my God, but
45:03
they've all other ones as well. He had a handgun that was I
45:07
think there's maybe 50 Cal magnum in a snub nose made a big
45:13
joke firing it and he's holding it like wincing, but like with
45:18
the little mass of a snub nose type revolver.
45:21
But the chambers around that long and the and the barrels
45:24
that long huge magnum bullet and he's holding it next with hands
45:29
come right back. But the Americans are are crazy,
45:32
but in a good way. But fat Americans are very fat
45:40
now. It's astonishing.
45:45
So you've seen the like. It's just, it's just hilarious.
45:49
Stuff. Yeah, I mean, it's like that
45:52
movie, you know, Wally or whatever where they're going
45:55
around in in floating cars. But if you look at what was the
45:59
big rock concert again, God, the massive mega in in America, we
46:06
sometimes show pictures of it, The Rolling Stones and everyone
46:10
are there. Oh, it just rain fart here.
46:13
The huge open hair concerts. Anyway, there were a few of them
46:16
and beach stock. Woodstock, Woodstock.
46:19
All I can think was Rolling Stones, Rolling Stones for some
46:21
reason. So Woodstock and all the
46:23
pictures you see them all guys in their mid 20s, gals in their
46:26
mid 20s. They're all like they look
46:28
nowadays. People would say to them, Are
46:30
you sure you're OK? Because relatively they worry
46:33
about people who are that slim. Everyone is that slim.
46:37
And one in 50 or one in 20 in the school was a fatty.
46:40
They were just addicted to carbs back in the day before everyone
46:43
else was. And you just look at it and they
46:47
weren't. They were two car families in
46:48
the 50s in America. Everyone was driving everywhere
46:51
from the 50s. So the 50s through to the 70s
46:53
and 80s, driving was the thing. Kids were driving any everyone
46:58
was driving. And so there wasn't any more
47:00
exercise per SE. But then the Devil's triad came
47:04
in high volume food and gas stations.
47:08
Everywhere you turned was the Devil's triad and then it just
47:11
took off. So now the Americans, now it's
47:13
comical. I mean, particularly I, I, I
47:15
transferred flights there in Minnesota once.
47:18
It's just, you're just looking around the airport.
47:20
I mean, there's a lot of these electric carts to move people.
47:24
They need to be helped to move around the airport like it's.
47:27
It's shocking. Is there?
47:29
Is there like a default? Ah well, I saw the norm in
47:33
Sweden back around 2007. Even in Stockholm my wife's
47:41
brother treated us to a weekend away because we had a load of
47:44
kids that were under a lot of pressure.
47:45
Fair enough, and it was nice, nice thing to do.
47:48
We went to Stockholm and our jaws dropped.
47:51
Even compared to Ireland in 2007 we were looking at Woodstock in
47:55
Stockholm. So there you go.
47:58
So you don't have to go back too far.
48:00
Now Sweden, that's another problem.
48:01
Sweden now is destroyed with the mass migration.
48:04
So you go to Sweden now and it's different matter, especially
48:07
Malmo. So they got they got marked for
48:09
destruction clearly like Germany and and all the other countries.
48:13
But yeah, even even back. And I was in Romania at a
48:16
corporate management training and then I brought my wife over
48:20
after the three days and tense kind of, you know, these
48:23
corporate gigs, you're all looking at the latest concepts
48:26
and doing worked examples and you're stuck with the morning
48:29
till night for three days. Well, they did one of those in
48:32
Romania and they'd European corporate guys from our
48:35
corporate there. But myself and a wife walked
48:38
around Romania, Bucharest and that was probably around 2000.
48:43
That could have been 2014 or 15. And I tell you Woodstock
48:48
everywhere. So you don't have to go back too
48:51
far. It all depends on when the
48:53
pipeline of American style devil's triad ultra processed
48:57
food took over your population. Always.
49:01
That's when it goes up. So for guys, what is a generally
49:07
good body fat percentage? Oh well, the Super fits are down
49:13
at 7 or 8%, but I guess 12 or 13 is not too bad.
49:16
You know one for Doctor Ted Naman Palomine on the West
49:19
Coast. He loves practical because he's
49:20
an engineer and then became a doctor.
49:23
And one of the things he said to me, and he's right, BMI is
49:26
worthless, means nothing. You have big rugby player who's
49:29
a slab of pure muscle, right, zero diabetes and the BMI could
49:33
be like 32. So it's meaningless.
49:37
It's a meaningless figure. BMI, it means nothing, almost
49:40
nothing. Waist to height ratio, This is
49:44
hard to achieve. But if you look at those guys in
49:47
Bucharest or Woodstock, broadly speaking, a lot of people will
49:50
be getting close to a 2 to 1 waist to height ratio.
49:55
And as he says, when you measure the waist, it's not like you
50:01
just stand there relaxed and you put a tape around your belly
50:04
button gently. That's your actual waist.
50:09
And if your waist to high is 2 or even close to two like 1.9,
50:16
that's the ultimate measure. How many people Now take out the
50:21
tape measure, walk into any western city and get 100 people
50:25
lined up. Lift up their shirts, try not to
50:27
get into trouble and measure their height and measure them
50:30
relaxed around the belly button. If you get 1 is a Hong Kong.
50:36
Yeah, when I was when I was in Hong Kong last year, I saw
50:38
almost no fat people. Fair enough, but Hong Kong is
50:42
the highest meat per capita consumption in the world and the
50:45
longest. Basically longevity and what you
50:48
said highest meat consumption per capita which is just another
50:52
interesting fact. So The Who are liars with their
50:56
anti meat in. Actual fact, somebody there told
50:59
me that it's culturally unacceptable for women to be
51:03
fat, so they look down on fat woman.
51:06
Misogynism, you know, these days, Yeah.
51:10
Well, and yeah, a lot of cultures.
51:13
Now, there's other cultures, in fairness, like, you know, in
51:16
Africa, a very, a very large woman may help survive through
51:21
very bad periods. And then they would store, you
51:23
know, the booty thing actually has some genetic background
51:27
where if you store a lot of fat around the waist, it doesn't
51:30
interrupt your walking and movement.
51:32
You know, it's stored around your midpoint and it's a massive
51:35
store to save you against famine and childbirth was important.
51:39
So there are all these cultures where women who are carrying
51:42
extra ballast. It was seen as survival and
51:46
health. But yeah, in Hong Kong, it
51:48
sounds like not so much. But, you know, we've been
51:53
programmed now. You've seen all the stuff about.
51:56
You've seen the ads from Ralph Lauren or whatever, 1980s or
52:00
90s. You have the Super slim sculpted
52:03
man in his underpants and a woman in a bra and paying the
52:06
famous lady was a Twiggy or one of them did the famous Ralph
52:09
Lauren or maybe was Armani. 1990s, super slim, beautiful,
52:15
tanned, you know, perfect examples of male and female like
52:20
native Indian, male and female like Hong Kong.
52:23
Maybe that is the blueprint for Homo sapiens, male, female.
52:28
And now what do we got? They got two big fat blobs, you
52:31
know, kind of trans covered in tattoos, big man boobs.
52:35
That's Armani now. So actually that is beautiful.
52:41
It's laughable, risible, It's comical and I'm not, I would
52:45
never be anti or or fat shaming. Occasionally when I'm drunk, I
52:49
maybe do the wrong tweet, but generally I won't fat shame
52:52
because I lecture in mental strength, resilience.
52:54
I got huge empathy and I've worked in weight loss with a lot
52:57
of people for a long time. So I wouldn't fat shame.
53:00
But outside of individual named people, it's absurd.
53:05
And and they're trying to teach us that not only is it not
53:09
absurd and it's not, and there isn't an obvious answer as to
53:12
why, right. They also want to teach us.
53:15
No, it's, it's normal. It's it's.
53:18
Good. Some something I do quite often
53:22
when I'm in the shop and I'm in the checkout line, I always have
53:28
a look to see what other people have bought.
53:31
And do you do the same, particularly with food?
53:36
It's fascinating and you will see the same trend every time
53:41
either fat people buy ridiculously bad.
53:46
Food. They do and it's tiered.
53:51
So the worst case is the fat person who doesn't give a flying
53:54
F and they have all the like standard original sugar, Coca
53:59
Cola, maybe all the bread and all the junk food.
54:04
They just don't care. That's a chunk.
54:06
Then there's a chunk, God bless them who are fat people who who
54:10
would clearly like to be not fat because they've got loads of low
54:14
fat products and plenty type products in their trolley.
54:19
And God bless them, they don't realise that they're making it
54:22
worse for themselves, but they are trying.
54:24
You see, they're trying, you know, and, and then you've got
54:29
the slim lean people and you just notice generally they've,
54:32
they've got smaller trolleys and they tend to be meat, fish and
54:35
eggs and real food and then some vegetables and, you know, coffee
54:40
and cream. So that's my trolley when I go,
54:43
when I go into the supermarket, it's hilarious.
54:46
We do buy more than that. But whenever I go and I don't
54:49
know what's needed for the pantry at home, I come out with
54:53
very heavy bags that are very expensive per bag.
54:57
You know, it's a big bill, but it's OK because I have nutrient
55:01
density and value density. I buy a load of meat, a couple
55:05
of boxes of 12 of eggs. I get cheese and ham and meat to
55:11
cook in the oven. And I guess maybe 3 or 4 double
55:15
creams because we go through three or four every few days.
55:18
Double cream 250 mils. That's the way it is and I have
55:22
this bag. 250 mils. Sorry that's that's not very
55:25
much. I buy a litre.
55:28
True. In Ireland sometimes with double
55:31
cream, they don't always have it.
55:33
They sometimes have half litres, but mostly it's two 50s.
55:39
It's, you know, the standard cream comes in the litre
55:43
regularly enough, but the double cream, yeah, small packets, but
55:47
that's where. I buy.
55:49
Yeah. Double cream.
55:50
Sorry, sorry, sorry. Yes, that's a good point.
55:52
Yeah, it's just the way they do it.
55:54
It's perceived as smaller packaging because it's more
55:57
concentrated, yada, yada, yada. I don't know, but but I always
56:00
just grab around four of them and there might be two or three
56:02
at home already, but that's fine.
56:04
If the seven, they get used well within the date and we have the
56:07
top of the fridge double cream and I always because I'm
56:11
relaying all, I reordered them in their dates to put the oldest
56:15
date at the back just goes, you know, makes sense.
56:19
Whereas the kids mix them up, but we just keep using them, you
56:23
know, and they go down, down, down.
56:24
Then you got to put four more in.
56:25
So the family really is a lot of cream.
56:27
It's Irish double cream from grass fed cattle.
56:30
I mean the stuff is gold. It's gold.
56:32
Well. Isn't what's also Golden Island
56:35
is potatoes? Yeah, potato.
56:40
Well, I go through my weight loss master class, the potato
56:43
diet and the fad diets, and the potato diet works.
56:47
It's just an interesting aside. It works because of ultra low
56:51
palatability. So the true potato diet, you
56:54
can't put butter all over them and make them tasty.
56:57
You just eat potatoes. You try munching true potatoes,
57:01
cooked potatoes. So the reason people can
57:04
actually succeed on a potato diet is they've limited
57:07
themselves to the least palatable food on the planet,
57:11
practically. And as a result, they just don't
57:13
feel like eating it. And they reduce their calories
57:17
and they lose weight. But it's a scam.
57:19
It's how sustainable is that? It's a joke.
57:22
But potatoes, Another interesting thing about
57:24
potatoes, people say, well, the Irish ate potatoes and they were
57:26
all skinny. Yeah, because they were
57:28
subsistence. They were getting rabbits and
57:31
fish and meat at a high premium. They knew.
57:35
And they had dairy, mega dairy in Ireland going back thousands
57:40
of years. So yeah, they were filling in
57:42
necessary calories with kind of basic potato glucose.
57:48
But, you know, they were subsistence.
57:49
So they never got fat and they never got diabetic.
57:52
But if you keep eating loads of potatoes and you introduce the
57:56
devil's triad in a modern setting, boom, you're diabetic
57:59
in a few years. That's.
58:01
It the one that gets me every time is when fat, when fat
58:05
people switch sugar for xylitol or diabetic something that's
58:11
they call it sugar free or what's it diabetic friendly
58:15
sugar or whatever. Yeah, it's the same thing.
58:19
It's it's well, it's the sugar alcohols.
58:21
You could make an argument that if you want sweeteners and it's
58:26
a tricky, I always say in the weight loss, it's tricky because
58:28
you're better off getting away from the sweet taste and
58:31
triggering yourself. And then if you eat real food,
58:35
you'll begin to savour it. And then if you went back to
58:38
some sugar, it tastes disgusting.
58:40
So you want to get in that mode. But if you really must use a
58:44
sweetener for a treat or something or added to ice cream,
58:47
or you want of ice cream, but you want to make healthy ice
58:50
cream yourself and something like a Ritz or tall, it's a
58:54
sugar alcohol that doesn't get metabolised.
58:58
So it just kind of goes through. So if you eat a lot of it, you
59:00
might start farting as well because bugs in your stomach
59:03
might eat some of it. But you know what?
59:05
It's got a place maybe. But I'd say I'd advise just just
59:10
move away from sweetness and get savoury and make it your new
59:13
life and just walk away from that problem.
59:17
Or you could get dragged back in again, you know?
59:20
Give me a nugget of wisdom. Oh God, we went through the
59:24
Nuggets on health. Hudson's razor.
59:30
You know Nick Hudson, right? We drink too much wine.
59:36
Yeah, enjoy your wine sensibly. Stay safe.
59:40
But no Hudson's razor. I just love that.
59:42
And I pushed it on on Twitter and God, can I remember it.
59:47
It's been a while since I said it, or he said it and I pumped
59:51
it, got millions of views and I thought it was just a thing of
59:53
beauty. And at first when I heard that,
59:56
I thought, nice job, Nick. Except it's not always true
1:00:00
because I'm always looking for the exception as a problem
1:00:02
solver, as an engineer. And I actually tested it and
1:00:06
tested it and I realised, shit, I don't think it's ever not
1:00:09
true. So Hudson's razor is if there's
1:00:12
something told to us as a global crisis and only thing that can
1:00:19
be entertained is a global solution, we all need to do it
1:00:23
together. And there's an atmosphere of
1:00:27
censorship or harassment of any dissenters if that scenario
1:00:32
arises. It is always a scam.
1:00:36
And he's correct. I don't know a single exception
1:00:39
to that. So there's a simple heuristic.
1:00:42
If it's a global problem and a global solution is apparently
1:00:45
needed, and there's any pressure against people questioning it
1:00:49
openly, it is a scam. You don't need any science.
1:00:54
And obviously climate, COVID and all the rest.
1:00:58
Perfect examples. OK, so on that note, how can I
1:01:02
follow you? Oh I'd say they still allow you
1:01:06
in even Google. If you put Ivor Commons, you
1:01:09
tend to get my YouTube, which is one of my main things, and my ex
1:01:13
at fat Emperor thefatemperor.com, the website
1:01:17
I've not been using so much, but Facebook as well.
1:01:20
You'll get. So it's kind of Facebook and and
1:01:23
Twitter and YouTube are the main places.
1:01:25
I I speak to the world through still, and I don't know about
1:01:29
you, but I I I mirrored all my stuff to rumble Odyssey and bit
1:01:33
shoot years ago because of potential risks, which we know
1:01:37
about. To be honest, the view numbers
1:01:40
are so smaller than YouTube you unfortunately have to use the
1:01:43
devil's platform if if you want to reach I find.
1:01:48
You said Google and so many people say Google.
1:01:51
I, I deliberately go out of my way not to say Google.
1:01:56
I don't use Google. I haven't used Google for about
1:01:57
two to three years now. Yeah.
1:02:00
And I and I when I speak to people, I don't say Google it.
1:02:03
I say search the Internet. True, and you know brave I
1:02:08
believe is a good one. My wife uses the other classic
1:02:11
that first came out. I forget the name.
1:02:14
DuckDuckGo. DuckDuckGo, to be honest with
1:02:18
me, I'm so out there and I say everything.
1:02:20
I don't think it makes any difference if I'm tracked
1:02:22
anymore because I try and have a policy of saying everything
1:02:25
openly. So people tracking me, tracing
1:02:28
me, it doesn't make any difference.
1:02:30
But for people in general, of course use Brave, use the good
1:02:33
stuff and don't support the the beast.
1:02:36
But I kind of said Google because even Google, which is
1:02:40
dreadful for shadow banning, still allows Ivor Commons to get
1:02:45
links as opposed to I'm on the 20th page which happens to some
1:02:49
people. I mean the Great Barrington
1:02:51
declaration straight afterwards for a week.
1:02:54
Google, you could not find it. I'm just surprised they didn't
1:02:57
do that to me. I'm shadow banned on YouTube and
1:02:59
probably Twitter. Irish Twitter is probably shadow
1:03:03
banning me pretty heavily. Not head office maybe, but
1:03:07
surprisingly you can still. Yeah, you can still search for
1:03:10
my name. Anyway, I don't know.
1:03:12
And having having said that, I love that you still say Twitter
1:03:15
I struggle with. X yeah, to me, let's hey, I did
1:03:20
a tweet yesterday guys and I I googled Twitter or Brave or
1:03:25
search Twitter downloader and then I get to hit stall the
1:03:30
Twitter downloaders. And by the way, that's a tip for
1:03:33
there's another little tip for people.
1:03:35
People are still screen recording Twitter and Facebook
1:03:38
and YouTube vids. There's downloaders available
1:03:41
for all of them that work in a couple of seconds.
1:03:45
So you can just put the the tweet address HTML, get the
1:03:50
tweet address or share and get the address and stick it in a
1:03:53
Twitter downloader instantly gets any video and then you can
1:03:57
share it elsewhere. Alva Cummins, thank you for
1:03:59
joining me in the drenches. Thanks so much Jeremy.
1:04:02
