00:00:00.000 Okay, so, Christine, what did you think of that?
00:00:04.960 There's a lot.
00:00:06.060 Is that a joke?
00:00:07.080 She's joking, right?
00:00:08.540 No, no, I think it's serious.
00:00:11.680 Yeah.
00:00:13.800 I don't know.
00:00:14.500 I thought I was...
00:00:15.120 Potential heart disease feels the same as not potential heart disease.
00:00:18.240 Is that what she's saying?
00:00:20.020 I guess.
00:00:21.060 I don't know.
00:00:21.620 I was thinking that was such a good opportunity, like, money-wise.
00:00:25.740 I was like, you can make, like, 200 bucks.
00:00:26.640 She said she tried really...
00:00:28.100 I mean, no doubt she can sing, right?
00:00:30.180 Oh, come true.
00:00:31.100 Great pair of lungs.
00:00:32.000 Yeah.
00:00:33.560 But, you...
00:00:34.960 I tried so hard.
00:00:37.420 I mean, if you tried that hard, you wouldn't look like that.
00:00:41.180 But she said...
00:00:42.040 That's what she said, being skinny and being big is the same, so...
00:00:44.800 Skinnier version of her now.
00:00:46.300 Where's the skinny version?
00:00:47.760 Yeah.
00:00:48.020 Maybe she was bigger.
00:00:48.580 They should have showed her...
00:00:50.020 Yeah, they should have showed her.
00:00:51.600 Showed a comparison of...
00:00:53.100 What do you think of the song, Sterling?
00:00:55.860 That's an American accent, right?
00:00:57.420 Yeah.
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.
00:01:14.240 It's a lot...
00:01:15.560 It's a lot easier to lose weight if you just have a bit of an education about, like, hormones
00:01:22.080 and how they affect your body, like...
00:01:23.800 Unless you want it.
00:01:25.000 Look at this lady over here.
00:01:26.440 Yeah.
00:01:26.860 It looks stunning for her age.
00:01:28.920 Yeah, she doesn't look like we are.
00:01:30.400 Right?
00:01:30.760 Thank you.
00:01:31.040 The way you're...
00:01:31.600 The way you're eating is producing a certain result in your body, right?
00:01:35.080 Yeah.
00:01:35.780 It's...
00:01:36.500 And being American, like, I guarantee that woman is eating food that is empty.
00:01:42.000 It's empty.
00:01:42.920 There's nothing in it.
00:01:43.960 She's...
00:01:44.360 She's...
00:01:44.960 Yeah, but she's starving herself as well.
00:01:46.600 Yeah, she says she's starving herself.
00:01:48.280 She'll tell you what my breakfast was.
00:01:49.900 But that woman...
00:01:50.940 What I was going to say was that woman, even though she's, like, even when she's not starving
00:01:55.580 herself, she's still starving herself.
00:01:57.400 Yeah.
00:01:57.740 Because there's nothing...
00:01:58.660 American food is the biggest pile of trash.
00:02:01.760 It's all poison.
00:02:02.760 It's everything she's eaten.
00:02:03.580 Even when she's trying to eat...
00:02:04.580 That's why you've got those farms.
00:02:05.180 Yes.
00:02:05.480 That's why you've got to grow your own chickens and grow your own cows and stuff.
00:02:07.420 And then she can probably do it because American land is very cheap, but, like, even if she's
00:02:12.460 trying to, like, eat healthy and stuff, it's going to be, like, low fat.
00:02:16.240 It's going to be packed full of sugar.
00:02:17.260 It's just...
00:02:17.600 There's so much deception around, like, weight loss and how to do it correctly.
00:02:21.200 Right.
00:02:21.660 It's just going to be off, honestly.
00:02:22.760 When I see a woman, like, get...
00:02:24.660 That woman could be gorgeous.
00:02:26.680 Yeah.
00:02:26.960 She could be gorgeous.
00:02:27.940 Why isn't she gorgeous?
00:02:29.720 She's...
00:02:30.160 Because she's quite overweight.
00:02:31.820 So, weight equates to beauty.
00:02:35.380 It doesn't make you prettier.
00:02:36.500 It doesn't make you prettier.
00:02:38.280 You will get prettier when you are at a healthy weight.
00:02:42.100 But I think pretty is subjective.
00:02:44.840 To your opinion.
00:02:45.520 Not to men.
00:02:47.660 No, it's not.
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.
00:03:01.640 You look at Leonardo DiCaprio, if you look at the hottest, most successful men who they pick...
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.
00:03:13.900 And I actually did a video on my channel.
00:03:15.480 Go check it out, guys.
00:03:16.380 Is beauty subjective or objective?
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?
00:03:27.740 Take it away from human beings, right?
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
00:03:39.840 somewhat aware of.
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
00:03:58.100 more symmetrical.
00:03:59.260 Most people will agree that those people are more attractive than people who have less
00:04:03.840 symmetrical faces.
00:04:04.660 There's actually something called the golden ratio, which is a number that appears in all
00:04:08.440 of nature.
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
00:04:30.500 people will find attractive.
00:04:32.220 That's not to say, like everything, there is always exceptions to the rule, but there is
00:04:36.880 an objective beauty standard.
00:04:38.240 That's not something created by society to make people feel bad about themselves.
00:04:41.760 That's just human nature.
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.
00:04:51.060 And we can't forget that we are animals too.
00:04:52.840 And we do have something that we all like and can agree is mostly attractive.
00:04:57.280 Okay.
00:04:57.880 Well said.
00:04:59.900 Most men just like women.
00:05:02.880 Women, they like it.
00:05:04.600 What did you think of the song?
00:05:07.360 Hey, she sounds hurt.
00:05:11.300 She seems sad.
00:05:12.780 Yeah.
00:05:13.160 She seems sad.
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
00:05:30.180 and to help you.
00:05:31.400 Try to incentivize you to save your own life.
00:05:33.340 Yeah.
00:05:33.960 Yeah.
00:05:34.780 What do you find for people that want to lose weight?
00:05:38.040 What do you think the best way to do it is?
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.
00:05:57.360 It's no carbs, isn't it?
00:05:58.960 It ain't that complicated.
00:05:59.880 Not necessarily.
00:06:00.940 You can eat, like you can add, you can add potatoes and sweet potatoes.
00:06:03.120 Or is that keto?
00:06:04.020 Potatoes and sweet potatoes are fine.
00:06:05.180 Keto is totally no carb.
00:06:06.500 That's the extreme.
00:06:07.120 But like, if you eat paleo, you're basically eating like a colorful array of vegetables,
00:06:12.380 good meat, a few carbs here and there.
00:06:14.640 But it's all, it's real food.
00:06:16.520 Yeah.
00:06:16.880 It's actually food.
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.
00:06:23.540 That's actually really, really simple to do.
00:06:25.640 Yeah.
00:06:26.060 And you can, and if you just know, like, all you need is like two or three good recipes,
00:06:29.940 you'll get shredded.
00:06:31.600 But you know what?
00:06:32.160 Before all of that, you need to have the right mindset.
00:06:34.600 You have to want it.
00:06:35.060 You need to be, yeah, you need that want.
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.
00:06:43.920 It's so, it's designed to like get you hooked.
00:06:47.260 And if we're talking about the food that you said, sorry, you said the family is essentially
00:06:51.940 incentivizing her to better herself.
00:06:54.140 You know, a lot of, I can hear in my head, a lot of people saying, oh, but you know,
00:06:59.400 they could, they could put it nicer.
00:07:00.780 And you know, we should, we should cater to how she feels.
00:07:03.300 This really bugs me.
00:07:04.660 This idea that how you deliver a message.
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,
00:07:25.540 I'm going to prove you wrong.
00:07:26.920 Whereas if I go, you know, I've noticed that maybe you're getting a bit bigger.
00:07:33.840 How do you feel?
00:07:34.540 Like that gives the person who's receiving that message, every excuse under the sun to
00:07:38.400 go, well, they're still being nice.
00:07:40.180 So it can't be that bad.
00:07:41.880 Whereas if you're straight up, you are going to kill yourself.
00:07:45.600 You're huge.
00:07:46.800 They're going to go shit, right?
00:07:48.360 And get their act together.
00:07:49.660 It's more abrupt.
00:07:50.520 Yeah.
00:07:50.880 As harsh as it sounds.
00:07:52.180 But actually, I think harshness can be the kindest policy because it just, it gets it
00:07:56.980 done.
00:07:57.480 It's, it's, it's a sharp, you know, rip the plaster off, but it gets it done.
00:08:01.500 Yeah.
00:08:01.600 I mean, you wouldn't, you wouldn't mince words if, if like a family member of yours was
00:08:04.680 shooting up heroin all the time.
00:08:06.000 No.
00:08:06.340 You're not going to like sugarcoat that.
00:08:08.000 Sort it out.
00:08:08.360 You'll be like, look, you're going to kill yourself.
00:08:10.600 Yeah.
00:08:11.440 You need to, we need to look it up.
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.
00:08:16.920 She said $5 per pound.
00:08:18.540 That's like 50 bucks for 10 pounds.
00:08:20.580 I mean, like, like she's, well, how much time is that going to take as a terrible return
00:08:26.480 on investment in terms of time spent?
00:08:28.180 No, but okay.
00:08:29.040 Hear me out.
00:08:29.800 Hear me out.
00:08:30.280 Okay.
00:08:30.600 She looks like, like late twenties, maybe.
00:08:33.240 Okay.
00:08:33.900 Back then when you were a kid, like at 12, that's a lot of money.
00:08:38.960 I'm like, that was a lot of money.
00:08:41.320 Like I would have been excited.
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
00:09:00.500 where people have kind of made it okay.
00:09:03.500 And I understand that you can be comfortable in your body.
00:09:08.180 You can do all of that.
00:09:09.920 But the problem with that is that if you look at reality, reality always tells the truth.
00:09:14.520 You can't escape reality.
00:09:15.820 There's a reason why you don't see so many overweight old people.
00:09:20.300 There's a reason for that.
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.
00:09:39.460 You don't, because I just find it weird.
00:09:41.560 Like if I were to look out into the world and see the fate that men face,
00:09:45.820 there's a reason why I don't do crime.
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
00:09:57.760 because reality always told the truth.
00:09:59.120 So I just think that people need to get off this bandwagon of...
00:10:03.020 That narrative.
00:10:03.700 Yeah, that narrative.
00:10:04.300 I think it's very destructive to people because reality doesn't agree with that.
00:10:08.220 I mean, the irony of calling it like,
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.
00:10:19.280 And you're harming yourself.
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?
00:10:31.260 I did a whole interview.
00:10:32.980 I did.
00:10:33.560 Okay.
00:10:33.740 And I pitched in the interview that like the best way to be body positive.
00:10:40.200 And it was like a social media intern.
00:10:42.260 I'm like, I'm great at social media.
00:10:46.020 And so I know I pitched it to him.
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.
00:10:58.000 And I had all these ideas.
00:10:59.960 They did not.
00:11:01.020 They actually ended the interview right there.
00:11:04.400 It's part of an agenda though, isn't it?
00:11:06.240 Yeah, because it's money.
00:11:06.920 To keep us fat, sick and easy to control.
00:11:08.900 Yeah, well, and it's...
00:11:09.900 The government wants us all to believe body positive.
00:11:12.640 I agree.
00:11:13.020 Well, and then they can just sell us more stuff.
00:11:15.240 They can sell us the drugs.
00:11:16.440 Yeah, the drugs.
00:11:17.360 It's money for them.
00:11:18.080 It's money.
00:11:18.520 Because when you're overweight, you're actually at a higher risk of all-cause mortality.
00:11:23.020 So it's not a good outcome.
00:11:25.300 Yeah.
00:11:25.580 And you lost a bunch of weight, didn't you?
00:11:27.320 I did.
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.
00:11:35.760 Yeah, about six stone.
