When people juice, what do you think they juice?
00:00:07.840
They thought you were talking about the juices that you buy in...
00:00:15.740
When you buy those fruit juices, they're like 70% fruit juice.
00:00:25.140
Do you guys think fat shaming can be a good thing?
00:00:34.200
So, do you guys think fat shaming can be a good thing?
00:00:42.680
Do you think that fat shaming can be a good thing?
00:00:45.620
For me personally, it motivated me to lose weight.
00:00:49.400
I think it was a great thing for me, and I'm very thankful for it.
00:00:52.660
But other people have different opinions, so I...
00:00:57.240
You didn't interrupt me, so you get to go first.
00:00:59.900
So, I can remember some years ago where my mother tapped me on my shoulder, and she said,
00:01:13.080
And at the time, I can remember feeling like, oh, I felt really sad, but it was truth, and I needed to hear that.
00:01:22.600
And it was shortly after I'd had, I think, my third baby, but I kept with the habits, so I had really bad habits.
00:01:32.120
And looking back now, at the time, I was quite offended by that, and I was upset.
00:01:37.640
What are those habits, if you don't mind me asking?
00:01:39.640
So, just the eating of lots of chocolate, I had a sweet tooth, that was my issue.
00:01:45.560
And also, there was chocolates, and there was gato cakes, and there was...
00:01:50.960
I used to have, when I was a kid, I used to have club biscuits underneath my pillow.
00:01:54.460
And whenever I was in a particular type of mood, because it has, it's catch-22, because you need the sugar, because it's now controlling your mood.
00:02:06.520
So, therefore, I had, there was, we didn't have a variation of foods around.
00:02:15.300
And so, for me, it was, for me to be able to have the sweets, whatever it was that I was getting, sugar, is what I felt I needed.
00:02:21.820
So, that became a habit, and I took that habit into adulthood.
00:02:25.580
So, when my mom, who was the first person to come and say to me, Pam, you're a little bit too big, you know, because even the father of my children, he used to bring me chocolates.
00:02:39.240
Bring me the chocolates, and I'll eat them, and then everybody's happy in the house.
00:02:45.620
So, even now, even though I've had a tummy tuck and I've had lipo, if I'm feeling a particular way, there are times when I will, you know, I wouldn't so much get the ferro rocher, but I might have a healthier chocolate or, you know, a dark chocolate, perhaps, but I need to have that sugar fix.
00:03:01.560
And I think that now, we can still have those types of behaviors.
00:03:07.940
They can still linger about, even when, you know, you might look good, but, again, are you healthy?
00:03:23.280
I know you've never done cocaine, Pearl, but I've been to Columbia a couple times.
00:03:36.580
And it's honestly, in the United States, sugar's in everything.
00:03:42.480
In the States, it's high-fructose syrup is in the bread.
00:03:45.520
There's sugar in every single thing in the States.
00:03:48.480
And that's the main reason why so many people are fat in the States, because everything has sugar in it.
0.87
00:03:59.040
And they have fucking salad dressing that has sugar and all these seed oils in it.
00:04:02.900
So we're living in this, like, kind of contaminant world, but there's a lot of people making these breakthroughs
00:04:08.480
and coming through and understanding, like, the fundamentals of nutritional science
00:04:14.380
But, you know, but, like, the average person is just so poorly uneducated.
00:04:26.040
The food pyramid said you needed to eat six to 11 servings of bread or rice a day.
00:04:38.140
It's your responsibility to educate yourself on nutrition.
00:04:48.680
But when I got really fat, when I told you, when I went vegan, I started looking at what
00:05:00.000
But now that we have social media, it's become a lot easier.
00:05:02.620
But if you think about years ago, we didn't have this.
00:05:08.400
You know, now ketchup is considered a fruit in the food pyramid of the United States.
00:05:19.000
If it was from a sugar cane, if it was from a fruit, it's natural sugar.
00:05:33.540
I lost the weight when I started sports, but the habits continued.
00:05:39.160
And I know how to make really good cookies from scratch.
00:05:42.900
And it's with all natural stuff because you're making it from scratch.
00:05:50.720
I used to eat like half of the cookie dough when I was a kid.
00:05:54.800
The American diet, like the mainstream American diet is just so unfortunately unhealthy.
00:06:00.820
Like, you know, do you know which country has the lowest obesity rate in the world?
00:06:16.360
And if you ever go to Vietnam, if you eat there, it's like, first of all, if you were
0.52
00:06:20.180
going to Vietnam, it's just like a giant, it's like a small city in a jungle.
0.99
00:06:31.420
You know, Vietnam has one of the lowest divorce rates in the world, too, 7%.
00:06:41.600
And I used to have a boy called Li Nam when I was in primary school as well.
00:06:46.680
So, like, you know, the food, when you eat there, too.
00:06:48.720
And I've noticed this because, you know, I travel a lot.
00:06:52.760
But, honestly, every time I go back to America and I start eating American food, I get, like,
00:07:05.320
If I ever eat, because, obviously, I've grown up on processed food.
00:07:09.140
I've grown up with meat, you know, and, you know, fish and all that kind of thing.
00:07:14.120
So, when I go back to eating those kind of foods, it does, it affects me.
00:07:21.860
I went to, I just went to the United States and every time I go back to America, I just
00:07:31.900
I eat it, like, the Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich or I eat the breakfast biscuit or whatever.
00:07:36.180
And then my stomach, I look like I'm three months pregnant.
00:07:45.500
If I do eat something and I know I'm bloated, I have a waist trainer that I wear.
00:07:54.160
If I know I want to eat something, my waist trainer is in my bag.
00:08:00.700
Let's explore what waist trainers do for people and to people, right?
00:08:07.800
Because waist trainers, you know, they used to be used for posture correction.
00:08:11.600
And you have, like, you know, post-surgery garments like Faha's.
0.92
00:08:15.400
But if you are just putting on a waist trainer and let's say you're wearing it for extended
00:08:19.700
periods of time because you're super committed to having a snatched waist, what is that doing
00:08:26.540
You know, honestly, I just, I just, I just, I've been wearing it for five years.
00:08:34.600
I just can't see waist trainers being as big of a problem as obesity.
00:08:39.280
No, I'm not saying, I'm not saying this to a comparable.
00:08:40.960
But no, no, and I'm saying, I think that's why we focus on obesity a lot more is because
00:08:48.520
I'm so tired of the UK clowning on America for being overweight.
00:08:52.040
Because I looked up the stats and it's not that different.
00:09:01.080
It's like, it's like, okay, I think we're like 70% overweight and you guys are like 60.
00:09:08.720
But I don't, I don't, I think they're in the hillbilly sides of England.
00:09:13.420
Because like in London, I don't know, I was expecting to see a bunch of fatties here.
0.94
00:09:17.160
But I see gorgeous, good women, good looking women here.
1.00
00:09:20.040
I think it's because everybody's walking all the time here.
00:09:27.260
Like, I was, like, I drove everywhere in Australia.
00:09:34.500
And I wasn't, I didn't change my diet, nothing.
00:10:00.380
Because I, like, I trolled chats once in a while.
00:10:02.800
And there was a, there was a girl that was on, there was a girl that was on a show.
00:10:09.560
But, you know, she was, I mean, objectively speaking, she was a little bit on the chubbier side.
00:10:15.020
And I just wrote, who is this chubby woman?
1.00
00:10:18.720
And then I wrote, she's, she's about 40 pounds too heavy for me.
0.99
00:10:24.060
And she was really, really, really, really upset that I said this.
00:10:31.440
And the reality is, though, like, if you look at her, like, her weight is still what it is.
00:10:38.520
But she, like, vilified me and demonized me.
1.00
00:10:43.600
You know, it's like, it, like, so I went to America and basically a girl got angry because I said she was a little heavier than I preferred for my sexual preference.
