Transcript

00:00:00.000 I just want to ask one question.
00:00:02.080 What's the one thing that you spend most money on
00:00:04.900 when you don't have time?
00:00:08.020 Travel and food.
00:00:09.160 Travel and food.
00:00:10.600 Would you say that if you want to lose weight and get better,
00:00:13.040 why not spend that money on a nutritionist?
00:00:16.380 So whereas it's not physical,
00:00:18.080 it's something a little bit more personalized program
00:00:20.000 where this person could help you even if you don't have time.
00:00:23.440 Which is what Bill's saying, priorities.
00:00:25.580 Listening to you guys, I know why I am also plus size.
00:00:30.140 It is because literally I am busy and I've always been busy.
00:00:33.860 Which is fine.
00:00:34.340 And I can't fully share how it is for me
00:00:39.520 because once I do my goals that I need to do in my career,
00:00:42.800 that's why I can share my story about I've suffered and I suffer
00:00:46.100 and I don't take mental health as an excuse.
00:00:49.520 I hear what mental health experts have got to say,
00:00:52.780 but to me I'm like, no, if I hear what mental health experts have to say,
00:00:56.620 although I go through it, I'm like, no,
00:00:59.620 because if I hear that, that's it, I'm falling into.
00:01:02.260 And the brain, I learned the power of the brain.
00:01:05.400 In the last two years, I learned the power of the brain.
00:01:09.500 You can really push yourself.
00:01:11.920 There are things like ADHD.
00:01:14.740 11 a.m. tomorrow, let's push yourself.
00:01:16.620 Come on.
00:01:17.640 Tomorrow I need to get on a coach.
00:01:19.400 11 a.m. the next day.
00:01:20.700 No, but just remember there is always a way
00:01:22.860 and do not sit on a second and sing it.
00:01:24.900 Yes, you're right.
00:01:25.960 There is no way and I'm stressing and suffering.
00:01:30.140 I don't want to play devil's advocate,
00:01:33.000 but I think everyone suffers.
00:01:35.280 Everyone has a point of suffering.
00:01:36.360 Of course.
00:01:36.900 Would you guys say that overweight people tend to have more excuses?
00:01:42.660 I don't even.
00:01:43.320 Especially when it comes to fitness.
00:01:46.060 Or should I?
00:01:46.500 I think just in this conversation, we could say yes.
00:01:51.780 Sometimes, I'm not going to lie, when you're not feeling it.
00:01:54.780 It's like when you're big, you're always constantly feeling heavy.
00:01:58.720 And even like exercising is heavy.
00:02:00.800 And then the muscle pain.
00:02:02.080 In five minutes, you literally get muscle pain.
00:02:04.500 But I could say the same.
00:02:05.520 I have a sugar addiction, right?
00:02:06.920 And there's this, there's like sort of a nutrition guy
00:02:11.000 that like texts me and he's like, how's your sugar?
00:02:12.960 And I'm like, bad, bad.
00:02:14.300 And it's because of my own choices.
00:02:16.040 It's because I lack discipline.
00:02:17.680 That's it.
00:02:18.640 It's because I lack discipline and I keep making that choice
00:02:21.320 to drink pure sugar coffee in the morning.
00:02:23.320 There is that.
00:02:24.060 But how about I tell you when you, like,
00:02:26.580 now that I've got it, I'm better.
00:02:29.340 But in the past, when I've exercised,
00:02:32.180 that exercise session will put me into bed for a week.
00:02:36.360 I wouldn't be able to walk.
00:02:37.440 Then we got to figure out different actions.
00:02:38.000 So that's why I've been walking.
00:02:39.540 That's why I say my best way of is.
00:02:41.660 So we got to figure out maybe it's diet.
00:02:44.640 Maybe it's just diet.
00:02:45.840 I know what it is.
00:02:47.000 It's me.
00:02:47.360 It's me actually.
00:02:48.880 What do you guys think is more effective?
00:02:50.960 Someone being strict in the gym or strict with their diet?
00:02:53.700 Diet.
00:02:54.180 Diet for sure.
00:02:55.260 I've been saying it.
00:02:56.100 You don't even need to go to gym.
00:02:57.400 That's the truth.
00:02:58.040 But baby man, I did lose eight stones.
00:03:00.020 Yeah, no, no.
00:03:00.880 That's great.
00:03:01.420 But even when you were saying like,
00:03:02.540 you're one of your number one expenses is food.
00:03:05.200 Like I noticed when my food bill is high,
00:03:07.380 that's when I gain weight because I've been eating out.
00:03:10.160 Actually, healthy food is really expensive.
00:03:12.820 Gas.
00:03:13.980 What?
00:03:14.520 I can't drive it all gas, man.
00:03:16.860 Healthy food is expensive, you know.
00:03:18.680 You need fuel to be able to move.
00:03:19.720 No, it's not.
00:03:20.520 Okay, look at the average juice.
00:03:23.900 You want to buy a good, a natural pressed juice,
00:03:27.920 and you want to buy that much of it?
00:03:29.560 You know what's cheaper?
00:03:30.040 Water, yes.
00:03:31.920 Okay, yeah.
00:03:33.120 I do drink water.
00:03:34.320 I do enjoy water.
00:03:34.460 And I love juice and sugar drink.
00:03:36.840 Like that's like my kryptonite.
00:03:38.480 So I get it.
00:03:39.280 But at the end of the day, it's just a choice.
00:03:41.220 Like we could drink water.
00:03:42.680 It is a choice.
00:03:43.660 Addictions, people do have addictions.
00:03:45.500 It's different for different people.
00:03:47.140 How I've got willpower, some people may not.
00:03:49.680 And it's just the way it is.
00:03:50.880 I think there's a lot more willpower for a lot of people.
00:03:53.800 They think that the willpower is in going to the gym,
00:03:56.560 but it is actually in what you eat
00:03:58.240 because I think one of the super chats said this,
00:04:00.420 and this was the point I was going to make.
00:04:02.380 You have to discipline the one thing you rely on, right?
00:04:05.300 We're talking about drug addiction.
00:04:06.340 We're talking about smoking.
00:04:07.320 People don't need to smoke to live,
00:04:08.380 but you do need to eat to live.
00:04:09.720 Thing is, you cannot out-exercise a poor diet, right?
00:04:12.860 Because there's only so many hours in the day
00:04:14.540 and your body has a physical limit.
00:04:16.840 You could eat 12 cheeseburgers
00:04:18.440 and then like get on the treadmill for as long as you can.
00:04:21.700 And you know, you can't really,
00:04:22.940 you can't out-exercise the 12 cheeseburgers that you ate,
00:04:25.880 which is why it probably does need to start with diet.
00:04:29.040 And we were talking about companies
00:04:30.280 and corporate social responsibility earlier.
00:04:32.600 Look at how much like the cheapest burger from McDonald's
00:04:36.000 is like less than a pound or something,
00:04:37.480 or at least it was.
00:04:38.640 But then if you go and buy,
00:04:40.300 like a lot of people would compare,
00:04:41.760 and I've seen this all over Instagram,
00:04:43.580 like McDonald's is really cheap
00:04:45.000 compared to fruit or vegetables or a gym membership.
00:04:48.400 And that's what a lot of people
00:04:49.820 who like really support the body positivity movement
00:04:53.000 would come back with.
00:04:53.980 Like it's about cost and convenience.
00:04:57.060 And that's why going back to poor people are better.
00:04:59.620 Because it's cheaper.
00:05:00.520 Eggs are cheap.
00:05:01.880 Oatmeal's cheap.
00:05:03.100 Well, eggs, yeah.
00:05:04.400 Yeah.
00:05:04.760 The rubbish eggs are cheap.
00:05:06.900 But if you're going to buy free range,
00:05:08.420 that's like, that is not cheap.
00:05:09.400 You know, and honestly, my dad,
00:05:11.100 he's always been like thinner,
00:05:13.340 like in shape pretty much.
00:05:14.600 Like never really struggled with it.
00:05:16.260 He lives on fast food,
00:05:17.860 but he just doesn't eat a lot.
00:05:19.360 Some people are just blessed.
00:05:20.540 No, he's not blessed.
00:05:21.840 He just runs and doesn't eat a lot of chicken
00:05:25.960 from those places.
00:05:27.160 Do you think being fat is a result of your environment too?
00:05:30.880 Because my dad runs a gym,
00:05:33.940 and that's how I got into the gym.
00:05:36.180 Do you guys feel like maybe it's because of the environment?
00:05:38.340 Actually, that's my next one question I had is,
00:05:42.180 is obesity for children child abuse?
00:05:48.580 Absolutely.
00:05:49.980 Wait, hold on.
00:05:51.320 Obesity for children?
00:05:52.220 Yeah, so if a child's obese,
00:05:53.940 is because the adult is feeding them.
00:05:55.900 When they're aware, yes.
00:05:57.440 If they're not aware, no.
00:05:58.720 Because some parents are like,
00:06:00.960 my child has to eat.
00:06:02.200 They have to have this.
00:06:03.140 They have to have that.
00:06:03.840 How young?
00:06:05.120 I noticed.
00:06:05.720 So you guys all said yes immediately.
00:06:07.440 Do you feel like you're in the position you're in
00:06:09.420 because you were fed bad food as a child?
00:06:12.000 Absolutely not.
00:06:12.780 Because, and I said this last time,
00:06:14.560 I hate to sound repetitive for the people who love the show,
00:06:17.200 but your circumstances may not be your fault,
00:06:20.280 but it's your responsibility to change it.
00:06:22.160 If you don't like it, I'm at an age where I can.
00:06:23.800 I just, correct, right.
00:06:25.160 But I'm saying like when you were younger,
00:06:26.680 were you always big,
00:06:27.920 or did you get big when you were older?
00:06:29.920 I was smaller when I was younger,
00:06:32.260 and then it just like every year,
00:06:33.880 like I've just gotten bigger.
00:06:35.800 Okay, I was just wondering if the food you ate at home
00:06:38.520 affected that or no.
00:06:40.280 I think to a degree it did,
00:06:42.060 but I think a lot of it is just adult.
00:06:45.120 I really think fried chicken and chip shops
00:06:48.720 in East London ruined me.
00:06:50.680 Because growing up,
00:06:51.940 no, I'm just being honest,
00:06:53.120 because growing up in my household,
00:06:54.720 there was fish, there was vegetables,
00:06:56.300 there was everything,
00:06:56.940 and it was home cooked.
00:06:58.100 And my mum was always health conscious as well.
00:07:00.860 So it is what's,
00:07:03.360 it's again,
00:07:03.860 it just goes to show
00:07:04.660 if you grew up in a community
00:07:05.900 where there are things like that
00:07:07.460 and they're promoted and they're cheap,
00:07:09.180 you will eat it and you will get big.
00:07:10.920 And that's exactly what happened.
