pearl imagine for you as a tall person i used to be i used to be pretty big yeah so you're you're
00:00:05.280
tall so i'm sorry i just i keep on losing my thoughts sorry you're tall right and imagine
00:00:13.200
you going to i'm guessing loads of places you go and you're like oh gosh i'm tall i can't actually
00:00:19.360
i can't include myself in that just like with plus size people now some people are lazy no
00:00:24.800
no fair though but some people are some people are lazy and i have to pay extra money but i live
00:00:29.680
you know yeah life isn't fair but that's the thing some people have a choice of being big some people
00:00:36.640
are ill and they're big there are different types of reasons why people are big some people well look
00:00:43.840
and i'll put this on the podcast anyone says they have that they have no choice in being big i'll
00:00:47.840
pay for their personal training and their nutrition i'll pay for it myself because if i want to lose
00:00:52.160
weight okay if i want to lose weight can i get in touch with you if i want to lose weight and
00:00:56.640
you're going to pay for it yeah yeah because listen i'll pay for it yes i'm doing it with you i'm not
00:01:01.280
wasting money you have to meet me at the gym we'll see first i'm not but then look there's certain laws
00:01:09.120
of physics too that are like like you can't just spontaneously get fat like the only way you get fat
00:01:16.960
is from over consuming calories there's no ands ifs or buts about it my mom just came to
00:01:22.000
tokyo and i told her you i'm going to take care of you but you got to be on fat camp because i want
00:01:26.720
my mom around right and so i brought her over and i had to teach her the fundamentals of losing weight
00:01:33.440
fasting physical fitness training muscle training and all these things right she was grossly grossly
00:01:39.760
undereducated on these things and in three months she lost 25 pounds and i sent her back home right
00:01:46.160
so but you know what she told me before she came to tokyo she's like well i have been going
00:01:54.800
through menopause that's why i'm gaining weight i was like mom i love you but that is literally
00:02:00.640
impossible yeah for you just to spontaneously create fat cells it doesn't work like that
00:02:07.120
like it is understanding your daily calorie needs and then if you over consume those daily calorie needs
00:02:14.000
your body will convert the remainder of food into fat and there is no ands ifs or buts about it so
00:02:21.440
i'm not saying i understand what you're saying like being fat isn't choice but because i think
00:02:24.800
people are just under educated because when you do over consume food because a lot of people like you
00:02:30.400
know when you when i see these girls drinking these like venti size starbucks with like 800
00:02:36.960
like one drink is like 800 calories that's like a that's like a ribeye steak
00:02:49.440
honestly this whole obesity thing look at the what the food industry is doing look at the policies and
00:02:55.200
procedures that are changing a lot of food remember a lot of obesity starts because people are are
00:03:02.880
reacting with what's in our food that's not actually good for us air fryers they they're having
00:03:08.560
they're having causes that's good i love i'm sorry but with the internet there's just no excuse
00:03:13.760
you can look into all of this stuff you know like you can't blame the food industry like that you
00:03:18.480
know i still drink my i've been trying to lose 15 pounds forever but i still drink my starbucks every
00:03:23.920
day it's my own damn fault we had pizza last night yeah some people i tried to cook something i didn't
00:03:32.800
eat breakfast or lunch today because we have pizza but that's me either and some people maybe can only
00:03:39.440
offer dollar store food you don't know or pound shop or iceland eggs are cheap ground beef is cheap like
00:03:47.120
chicken the cheap one is cheap i mean because it's got stuff in it but if you want to get an organic one
00:03:53.440
oatmeal is cheap no i mean there's not no there's really but you'd be surprised how many stuff is
00:03:57.760
in our meat in our chicken no i did this i actually have an episode on wife school if you want to
00:04:01.840
watch it like um auntie got me 50 pounds for two weeks of groceries all organic food so if you guys
00:04:07.280
do want to learn about it it's on wife school you you can do it though i remember habits i think it was
00:04:13.040
maybe start this year or last year i literally went grocery shopping and i went to obviously like
00:04:18.400
aldi or something like that right luxury you know it's cheap but like you can get good you know
00:04:25.040
healthy foods there and i was like i was vegetarian for nine months i did live with the indian family
00:04:30.720
at the time as well so like it helped me i was at that time literally 10 kilograms heavier than i am now
00:04:37.440
and when i went vegetarian for nine months i'd have like meat every so often
00:04:41.760
um when i was at my ex-boyfriend's now house but like just cutting out the meat for me
00:04:51.040
all that time helped me actually that weight but also compared to australia and here your food here
00:04:57.280
goes off so much quicker which is a good thing yeah and in australia i it can be in my fridge for like
00:05:02.960
two months a month and it's still i can still eat it yeah it doesn't last more than three days here the
00:05:08.080
best kind of food expires in like five days and after five days you're like oh no which is good
00:05:13.040
like i live in japan like the the japanese wives they go to the grocery store every day yeah because
00:05:18.080
it does go off quick yeah the do you know what the world is going to get fatter and fatter shall i tell
00:05:23.120
you why why because you know a lot of these vegan foods these processed sausages and all that and they're
00:05:28.080
saying it's vegan you need to see what's actually in them they're they're actually they're gonna they're
00:05:34.080
they actually they're not they're actually marketing thing it's another agenda yeah so all
00:05:40.240
this vegan food is still gonna carry on the obesityness because what they're putting in it's it's not
00:05:46.960
great and that's the truth and that's why i say anyone who wants to lose weight since this is a plus
00:05:52.400
size topic eat natural foods great your vegetable try and go as organic as you can and just think
00:05:58.880
about green what's good what's yeah what can you take from the earth that's been provided naturally
00:06:05.200
that's my advice i would say walk i just wanted to say like when like we were going on the um topic of
00:06:12.800
like front of magazines and stuff like that the covers of magazines do you not also think that this
00:06:18.640
whole you know 10 perfect image can also have a detrimental effect mentally women because we are
00:06:25.920
going to strive to want to be that 10 percent so that's going to then create a whole that was
00:06:31.200
me you got it you got it yeah i have an answer i have an answer only if you're mentally weak
00:06:43.200
i want my self-esteem to be a little bit humbled and lowered when i look on the covers i remember the
00:06:50.320
days when i could pull the cover off and put it on my fridge and she was my motivation yeah i
00:06:55.840
liked those days that's a good thing you're right but it does create more issues for those people
00:07:03.280
who have the trauma well and i also think it's okay to be an average chick like why do we live in this
00:07:08.880
world where you need to be top 10 percent but there's a new average but there's a new average
00:07:13.280
if people are growing more corpulent and obesity is becoming the norm then the average is actually
00:07:19.120
changing and what i want lowered right well you would agree or did you say being it's being changed i didn't
00:07:24.800
say lowered or elevated because i think that's quite subjective we're talking about beauty we're
00:07:29.360
talking about health health i don't think is as subjective subjective men find genuine generally
00:07:35.040
the same things attractive in what cultures and at what time periods if we read up on it across cultures
00:07:40.800
you could see that in history being on the heavier side was actually a sign of being wealthy
00:07:46.240
no that is true i've done a study no i've done a study we've had so many people bring this up on
00:07:52.960
the shows it's not true not across the board yeah they they what cultures is it not true it goes back
00:07:58.960
it goes back to like mesopotamia and are we talking about so when i say it was a sign of being wealthy
00:08:05.600
or rich we're talking about people not having enough money and therefore starving and being on the gaunter
00:08:11.520
side of of the spectrum right versus people who are wealthy and obviously when you have money you're
00:08:16.240
you know your discipline decreases and so you're spending on food and you grow to be more corpulent
00:08:21.520
and so what i'm trying to say is like there there have been multiple time periods multiple cultures
00:08:28.000
where they studied multiple fertility gods and goddesses of sex and they all were the same they were big
00:08:34.640
nice round butt small hips big breasts yeah flat stomach okay young yes right and that's literally
00:08:42.560
multiple time periods over multiple cultures that couldn't even communicate with each other so you're
00:08:46.240
talking about asia africa you know the aztecs all of these europe they have all of these things and
00:08:53.520
it's correlating across all of these cultures during all these time periods so it's it is an objective
00:09:00.800
marker and then if you look at now too like despite this gigantic corporate push towards body positivity
00:09:09.200
dudes still like skinny hot girls big boobs okay and those same women who are the personification of
00:09:16.720
beauty for men how do we know that they are not equally unhealthy as someone who is perhaps my shape
00:09:23.200
who is a little bit on the on the rounder side and people might look at me and have health concerns
00:09:27.680
that's a good yes like let's talk about the difference the disparity between how someone
00:09:33.040
presents and what is going on on the inside because this discussion it transcends health and beauty
00:09:39.520
we're talking about i'll give you two things one is a lot more common so the obesity is much more
00:09:45.680
common than anorexia only like yeah i don't know the exact number but it's less than five percent of
00:09:50.560
women are even underweight so one is much more common um and the second thing is um morbidly obese
00:09:57.040
people's life expectancy drops so by by multi i don't i don't know the exact number off the top
00:10:02.160
of my head so when you look at the numbers of the people that are underweight and the people
00:10:05.360
that are morbidly obese the people that are morbidly obese have a lower life expectancy yeah
00:10:09.520
like these these style models these plus size models are starting to drop off there was this latina
00:10:14.960
plus size model she was 37 years old she died from heart heart attack and the number one reason
00:10:19.760
people die in the world is due to circulatory issues and once you're obese and you're consuming too much food
00:10:26.560
your veins and everything they actually get clogged up with excess amounts of fat when you're a skinny
00:10:32.560
person that's just i mean biologically it's impossible because you don't have an excess amount
00:10:36.480
of fat so when you talk about markers of health that's what i'm trying to say is like the larger
00:10:41.920
girls that one marker of health in regards to circulatory health is going to be lower compared to
00:10:48.560
somebody who is thinner and we're talking about that one specific marker of health well do you know do you
00:10:53.440
know which uh which people live the longest on the planet which hey enlightened isn't it isn't it
00:11:01.040
mediterranean no it's japanese women oh no way why japan has the third lowest obesity rate in the world
00:11:09.040
you know as a direct correlation to that so i tell you why why because they eat their own food and they
00:11:15.360
ain't eating no processed foods they stuck to their rice yeah they stuck to their steamed fish they stuck to
00:11:21.920
all the natural foods that's why because they kept it not they kept it good but with i think with the
00:11:28.800
western food in general a lot of it is processed that that is the issue a lot of money when it's quick
00:11:39.520
people sit around and they eat carbs and they think like i'm just eating carbs like i'm because i feel
00:11:46.800
hungry but they keep eating it and then they wonder why they keep feeling hungry it's because they're
00:11:50.960
not getting satiated they're not getting the vitamins they need they're not getting the nutrients the
00:11:55.040
micronutrients all these things so like i noticed personally that when i switched to just eating two
00:12:00.560
grass-fed grass-finished steaks a day like i would be completely satiated but i mean when was last time
00:12:07.520
you're eating potato chips you're like yeah i've had enough potato chips let's talk about your
