00:00:00.000
Okay, so, Christine, what did you think of that?
00:00:15.120
Potential heart disease feels the same as not potential heart disease.
00:00:21.620
I was thinking that was such a good opportunity, like, money-wise.
00:00:37.420
I mean, if you tried that hard, you wouldn't look like that.
00:00:42.040
That's what she said, being skinny and being big is the same, so...
00:00:58.000
I'm pretty sure that it sounded like an American.
00:00:59.520
I think the thing that people get so wrong with, like, weight loss is, like, they think
00:01:05.440
it's a case of, oh, like, endless, like, you need, like, endless discipline and you
00:01:11.800
need to track every calorie and all this kind of stuff.
00:01:15.560
It's a lot easier to lose weight if you just have a bit of an education about, like, hormones
00:01:31.600
The way you're eating is producing a certain result in your body, right?
00:01:36.500
And being American, like, I guarantee that woman is eating food that is empty.
1.00
00:01:50.940
What I was going to say was that woman, even though she's, like, even when she's not starving
00:01:58.660
American food is the biggest pile of trash.
1.00
00:02:05.480
That's why you've got to grow your own chickens and grow your own cows and stuff.
0.64
00:02:07.420
And then she can probably do it because American land is very cheap, but, like, even if she's
0.98
00:02:12.460
trying to, like, eat healthy and stuff, it's going to be, like, low fat.
00:02:17.600
There's so much deception around, like, weight loss and how to do it correctly.
00:02:38.280
You will get prettier when you are at a healthy weight.
00:02:49.180
Because the men with the most option date the same types of chicks.
00:02:52.960
So, like, it's like saying, like, men that can't sleep with anyone else will sleep with
00:02:57.880
ugly, overweight chicks, but the men with the most options don't do it.
1.00
00:03:01.640
You look at Leonardo DiCaprio, if you look at the hottest, most successful men who they pick...
0.97
00:03:05.620
Who are hot, according to whoever is looking at...
00:03:08.280
So, this is a question that has pondered in human history for as long as we can remember.
00:03:18.500
But the point is, there has to be an objective standard for beauty.
00:03:22.860
Otherwise, how have we decided what we like all over history?
00:03:29.540
We can all agree that certain architecture is more beautiful than other architecture.
00:03:35.160
So, there is an objective standard there that we are aware of, at least most people are
00:03:41.020
But I feel like people feed themselves this lie that because people have certain preferences
00:03:46.260
to things that they might find attractive in someone that, say, someone else might, that
00:03:51.460
doesn't take away from the fact that there is such thing as objective beauty.
00:03:54.360
They've done multiple studies on this that find, for example, people whose faces are
00:03:59.260
Most people will agree that those people are more attractive than people who have less
00:04:04.660
There's actually something called the golden ratio, which is a number that appears in all
00:04:09.220
I'm talking across cells to plants, to human beings, to buildings.
00:04:14.700
I can't remember the number now for the life of me.
00:04:16.520
It's like a really crazy number, like 6.18 something, something, something.
00:04:20.140
But when you see this ratio reflected in a human being's face, not only that in their
00:04:25.400
body as well, like how their body looks, there is an objective standard that generally most
00:04:32.220
That's not to say, like everything, there is always exceptions to the rule, but there is
00:04:38.240
That's not something created by society to make people feel bad about themselves.
00:04:43.140
In the same way that peacocks, they do that thing where they display themselves in a certain
00:04:47.300
way, that's because the other peacocks will agree we like that.
00:04:52.840
And we do have something that we all like and can agree is mostly attractive.
00:05:13.840
Well, my question is, I don't understand why she took it as an insult when like, clearly
00:05:19.980
you're going to have more problems later on if you're heavier and like, you can either
00:05:25.600
take it as an insult and be the victim, or you can take it as your family trying to love
00:05:34.780
What do you find for people that want to lose weight?
00:05:39.600
I think something more along the lines of like, maybe not necessarily like extreme
00:05:43.340
carnival, but like, just like, I personally like the structure of the paleo diet, because
00:05:49.260
it's basically just, and people misconstrue it as actually being like full on carnival,
00:05:53.460
but it's really, all it really is, is like eat meat and veg.
00:06:00.940
You can eat, like you can add, you can add potatoes and sweet potatoes.
00:06:07.120
But like, if you eat paleo, you're basically eating like a colorful array of vegetables,
00:06:18.100
You know, it came out of the ground, you know, it didn't come out of a factory.
00:06:21.420
It's really, it's not, that ain't rocket science.
00:06:26.060
And you can, and if you just know, like, all you need is like two or three good recipes,
00:06:32.160
Before all of that, you need to have the right mindset.
00:06:36.740
You need to be in that right frame of mind to even get to that of what you're saying.
00:06:40.360
Because all the food we eat nowadays is so addictive.
00:06:47.260
And if we're talking about the food that you said, sorry, you said the family is essentially
00:06:54.140
You know, a lot of, I can hear in my head, a lot of people saying, oh, but you know,
00:07:00.780
And you know, we should, we should cater to how she feels.
00:07:09.120
If you put it nicer, it's going to make a difference.
00:07:11.840
Actually, the truth is the biggest change comes from the harshest delivery.
00:07:16.400
If you are told something, if someone really, really insults you that automatically in your
00:07:21.540
brain, hopefully if you've got a healthy mind and not a victim mindset that says, well,
00:07:26.920
Whereas if I go, you know, I've noticed that maybe you're getting a bit bigger.
00:07:34.540
Like that gives the person who's receiving that message, every excuse under the sun to
00:07:41.880
Whereas if you're straight up, you are going to kill yourself.
0.99
00:07:52.180
But actually, I think harshness can be the kindest policy because it just, it gets it
00:07:57.480
It's, it's, it's a sharp, you know, rip the plaster off, but it gets it done.
00:08:01.600
I mean, you wouldn't, you wouldn't mince words if, if like a family member of yours was
00:08:08.360
You'll be like, look, you're going to kill yourself.
0.93
00:08:12.580
Well, and I was thinking, I'm like, I mean, she's pretty big.
00:08:15.200
She could have made a decent amount of money.
1.00
00:08:20.580
I mean, like, like she's, well, how much time is that going to take as a terrible return
00:08:33.900
Back then when you were a kid, like at 12, that's a lot of money.
00:08:42.660
If anything, it was an opportunity for, you know, you could get like cash.
00:08:47.940
I was, I was doing lemonade stands from a young age.
00:08:52.580
But I think the biggest problem I have with this weight issue thing is we live in a society
00:09:03.500
And I understand that you can be comfortable in your body.
00:09:09.920
But the problem with that is that if you look at reality, reality always tells the truth.
00:09:15.820
There's a reason why you don't see so many overweight old people.
1.00
00:09:21.720
That's because they die before they get to that age.
00:09:24.860
Most of the old people you see walking around are not overweight.
00:09:28.380
So if you can't look at reality and look at the truth that is waiting ahead of you,
00:09:32.880
that just means that you're essentially saying that you don't care about your future.
00:09:41.560
Like if I were to look out into the world and see the fate that men face,
00:09:47.300
Because I can look out into the world and see what happens to people that do crime.
00:09:50.340
So it should be the same ideology we should take.
00:09:52.760
When people are telling you, oh, it's okay to be this,
00:09:55.060
you can actually look out in the world and see the facts of reality
00:09:59.120
So I just think that people need to get off this bandwagon of...
00:10:04.300
I think it's very destructive to people because reality doesn't agree with that.
00:10:11.560
body positivity, the irony there is you actually don't respect and love your body at all
00:10:17.220
because you're not giving it what it really needs.
00:10:20.100
You're harming yourself and you're actually giving it the nutritious food
00:10:23.000
and the exercise that it actually needs to be its best and perform its best.
00:10:28.060
Did you know I applied to a body positive organization?
00:10:33.740
And I pitched in the interview that like the best way to be body positive.
00:10:47.580
I said the best way to be body positive is to lose weight.
00:10:50.440
So on the social media, I would really like to do some like running campaigns.
00:11:09.900
The government wants us all to believe body positive.
00:11:13.020
Well, and then they can just sell us more stuff.
00:11:18.520
Because when you're overweight, you're actually at a higher risk of all-cause mortality.
00:11:27.620
I would like to say I actually was only that weight for a few years.
00:11:31.260
And it's because I got depressed and in a hole, put on a bunch of weight and then lost it.
