In the complete opposite direction, like total neurosis.
00:00:02.640
I got my bachelor's and master's degree in nutrition.
00:00:04.980
I helped thousands of people lose weight, regain their health.
00:00:09.680
So her choice to gain autonomy through overeating and ill health was almost, you know, well, it was just so crazy for me because I was so healthy.
00:00:25.880
My whole life until I was like 15, I was like rebelling against her.
00:00:30.340
I was like, I'm going to eat all the junk food.
00:00:32.400
So I'd go to my friend's house and I'd stuff my face with pizza.
00:00:34.820
And then their moms would call her and be like, oh my gosh, is your daughter okay?
00:00:38.740
She's eaten like a box of pizza and like my whole box of goldfish.
00:00:43.980
And then I'd come home and I would never like her cooking, even though she's the best cook I know.
00:00:47.780
But like I would, I just rebelled my whole life.
00:00:51.720
James says there's a difference between fit and thick.
00:00:57.000
Puffy, I'm in Las Vegas and I see plenty of women from Africa.
00:01:11.080
These plus size influencers are lying to people.
00:01:18.880
But basically Lizzo is portraying something that is terrible for young women.
00:01:23.860
And then you have thousands of young women saying, oh my gosh, Lizzo is so beautiful.
00:01:29.220
And then you have all the fat people looking at Lizzo, feeding off of her positivity, her body positivity.
00:01:40.000
Yeah, nobody would talk when Adele was overweight.
00:01:43.040
Nobody really spoke about her weight because she didn't lead with it.
00:01:45.520
No, you know, they did speak about it when she lost the weight.
00:01:48.180
They were like, oh, we can't believe you lost the weight.
00:01:56.140
Why aren't more people supporting women losing weight?
00:02:01.440
Because we know the whole world is lazy, the majority of people.
00:02:05.780
Well, also the food industry benefits the food industry and the medical industry to have more overweight people.
00:02:11.740
Then you have more medications being handed out.
00:02:13.680
Then you have more depression, anxiety, suicide.
00:02:19.500
No, I mean, honestly, like, one time I was at work and these guys were, like, clowning on women over 200 pounds.
00:02:27.060
But they didn't know I was because, like, I don't look, like, I didn't look like I was over 200.
00:02:32.060
And literally, I ended up, like, losing a bunch of weight because I was so embarrassed.
00:02:37.020
And it was the best thing that ever happened to me.
00:02:41.980
It's, like, the quickest way to lose weight, run a marathon.
00:02:52.920
Your risk, like, heart disease, type 2 diabetes.
00:02:55.640
And, you know, if you don't start now, you are going to die very, like, slowly but soon.
00:03:12.280
No, they weren't like, you're going to die tomorrow.
00:03:20.720
But they definitely have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, which is a number one killer.
00:03:27.120
They definitely will develop diabetes type 2 and other diseases that are 100% preventable.
00:03:31.380
There was that influencer that just, like, dropped dead the other day because she was obese.
00:03:35.440
And, like, she would literally always be eating and doing mukbangs.
00:03:42.420
And then they say, like, when obese people go to the doctor and they say to lose weight,
00:03:49.080
But I'm like, well, I mean, I'm not a doctor, but you might want to, like, watch what you're at.
00:03:54.300
But even doctors are lying to people now saying, oh, it's okay to eat, like, cheeseburger.
00:04:01.120
And it's like, you guys, why are you lying to these people who actually, some people
00:04:04.380
who actually want to be helped are being lied to.
00:04:12.640
Doctors aren't really even trained in nutrition.
00:04:16.860
And the business model isn't set up for them to support their patients.
00:04:23.820
And we really need to get smart and get responsible and be clear about what we're putting in our thoughts,
00:04:33.440
They said, as an African woman, Zimbabwean, we are curvy.
00:04:37.060
There's a big difference between being curvy and overweight.
00:04:44.440
And then there's another one that was from interracial marriages or relationships.
00:04:49.820
For a black men community, we value bigger women because they make for better sex partners.
00:04:54.200
Partners, marriage is different requirements than sex.
00:04:59.660
My thin woman felt like she was too pretty to fulfill my sexual requirements.
00:05:08.300
So how, did you say, how does a man identify a good woman?
00:05:11.400
I would say that a man identifies a good woman if she's, one, healthy and fit.
00:05:19.160
And I'd say number two, if she has traditional values, if she believes in being submissive,
00:05:23.940
if she believes in being feminine, she loves to be.
00:05:37.800
And then I think if she wants to cook, if she's okay cleaning, she wants, she's a homemaker.
00:05:42.340
She would love to, you know, have children and take care of them and be a housewife.
00:05:47.780
And so that's what I think identifies a good woman.
00:05:52.360
Well, identifying as a good woman nowadays is a bit difficult.
00:05:57.260
However, I would emphasize on the values and the morals of the woman.
00:06:02.560
Um, primarily her ability to be a good wife, her ability to raise good children, and even
00:06:10.460
her thoughts and the things she has in mind, because she's going to be molding the next
00:06:22.720
But, you know, if you have a deep conversation with a person...
00:06:29.520
But believe me, throughout time, you can identify.
00:06:37.980
If it's, um, I would say, I would give it like three months, but it can...
00:06:49.660
So you think in three months he can see if she has traditional values?
00:06:54.280
So healthy, so he can look, she healthy and fit, cool.
00:07:04.460
So ask her to do something and see what she does.
00:07:09.200
If a man tells to a woman, can you, uh, please make me a coffee or a meal?
00:07:12.440
And she'd say, hell no, I'm not doing this to you.
00:07:44.520
It's his ability to identify what he values in, in a woman.
00:07:48.780
I mean, that's gonna be subjective to an extent.
00:07:52.360
So I'm asking, like, what makes someone a good woman, and how does he identify that?
00:07:56.960
I think what you were saying as well, men do test women.
00:07:59.460
I've been tested by men, like, with certain things.
00:08:14.780
And then he will know, do you know how to cook?
00:08:18.940
Even your presentation, how you deliver the food.
00:08:27.620
I'm just curious how it's going to align with what you guys say, from the women and the men.
00:08:32.360
So first, he's going to see her for three months.
00:08:40.180
I think that, honestly, if it's a high-value man, most of the time, he's going to know without all of that, honestly.
00:08:53.920
I don't know if it's the right word, but there is this aura.
00:08:57.880
There is this sense when you sit with a woman who you know is going to be respectful to you or not.
00:09:11.780
I know, but average men nowadays look at high-value men's content more and more and more and try to see...
00:09:24.100
They don't just know, but they should get to a point to just know.
00:09:30.520
So how does he get to that point that he just knows?
00:09:33.560
Well, slowly, slowly, slowly, we're getting to a point where I think they need to go to certain parts of the world.
00:09:40.800
And certain parts of the world, they will just know that 90% of the women will not be like that.
00:09:49.880
He needs to travel somewhere else and then experience those women and then compare them to...
00:09:55.400
Okay, but for a guy that doesn't travel, like he stays in the West, because most, remember, most guys don't make a ton of money.
00:10:01.100
Like I think half of U.S. men don't have passports.
00:10:07.480
So for a guy that's not traveling, how does he know good woman versus bad woman?
00:10:11.080
I would say if the first conversation with her is like, oh, so where are we going to dinner?
00:10:21.660
I think when you meet a girl, you should take her for coffee and that's it.
00:10:25.280
Even if you like her so much that you take on a coffee date and see what she's like and see if she's...
00:10:34.380
I don't know if she wants to continue the date and get you to buy her dinner.
00:10:38.400
