00:00:05.520
tall so i'm sorry i just i keep on losing my thoughts sorry you're tall right and imagine
00:00:13.440
you going to i'm guessing loads of places you go and you're like oh gosh i'm tall i can't actually
00:00:19.600
i can't include myself in that just like with plus size people now some people are lazy no
00:00:25.040
no fair though but some people are some people are lazy and i have to pay extra money but i live
00:00:29.920
you know yeah my life isn't fair but that's the thing some people have a choice of being big some
00:00:36.560
people are ill and they're big there are different types of reasons why people are big some people
00:00:44.080
and i'll put this on the podcast anyone says they have that they have no choice in being big i'll
00:00:48.080
pay for their personal training and their nutrition i'll pay for it myself if i want to lose weight
00:00:52.640
okay okay if i want to lose weight can i get in touch with you if i want to lose weight and you're
00:00:57.040
going to pay for it yeah because listen i'm doing it with you i'm not wasting money
00:01:04.320
you have to meet me at the gym we'll see first but then look there's certain laws of physics too that
00:01:10.400
are like like you can't just spontaneously get fat like the only way you get fat is from over consuming
00:01:18.960
calories there's no ands ifs or buts about it my mom just came to tokyo and i told her to you i'm
00:01:24.400
going to take care of you but you got to be in fat camp because i want my mom around right and so i
00:01:28.880
brought over and i had to teach her the fundamentals of losing weight fasting physical fitness training
00:01:36.080
muscle training all these things right she was grossly grossly undereducated on these things
00:01:41.760
and in three months she lost 25 pounds and i sent her back home right
00:01:49.120
so but you know what she told me before she came to tokyo she's like well i have been going through
00:01:55.280
menopause that's why i'm gaining weight i was like mom i love you but that is literally impossible yeah
00:02:01.920
for you just to spontaneously create fat cells it doesn't work like that like it is understanding your
00:02:09.120
daily calorie needs and then if you over consume those daily calorie needs your body will convert
00:02:16.000
the remainder food into fat and there is no ands ifs or buts about it so i'm not saying i understand
00:02:22.960
what you're saying like being fat isn't choice but because i think people are just under educated
00:02:27.040
because when you do over consume food because a lot of people like you know when you when i see these
00:02:31.520
girls drinking these like venti size starbucks that's with like 800 that's like one drink is like
00:02:40.960
800 calories that's like that's like a ribeye steak
00:02:50.400
this whole obesity thing and look at the what the food industry is doing look at the policies and
00:02:55.440
procedures that are changing like a lot of food remember a lot of obesity starts because people
00:03:02.160
are are reacting with what's in our food that's not actually good for us air fryers they they're
00:03:08.160
having they're having causes i love air fryers i'm sorry but with the internet there's just no excuse
00:03:14.000
you can look into all of this stuff you know like we can't blame the food industry like that you
00:03:18.720
know i still drink my i've been trying to lose 15 pounds forever but i still drink my starbucks every
00:03:24.160
day it's my own damn fault we had pizza last night some people i tried to cook something i didn't
00:03:32.800
i didn't eat breakfast or lunch today because we had pizza but that's me either i had the same thing
00:03:37.840
and some people maybe can only afford dollar store food you don't know or panchop or iceland
00:03:44.640
eggs are cheap ground beef is cheap like chicken the cheap one is cheap big i mean because it's got
00:03:51.360
stuff in it but if you want to get an organic one oatmeal is cheap no i mean there's not no there's
00:03:55.920
really but you'd be surprised how many stuff is in our meat you know i did this i actually have an
00:04:00.720
episode on wife school if you want to watch it like um auntie got me 50 pounds for two weeks of
00:04:05.440
groceries all organic food so if you guys do want to learn about it it's on wife school you you can do it
00:04:10.080
though i remember i think it was maybe start this year or last year i was literally went grocery shopping
00:04:17.520
and i went to obviously like aldi or something like that right luxury
00:04:22.560
you know it's cheap but like you can get good you know healthy foods there and i was like i was
00:04:28.000
vegetarian for nine months i did live with the indian family at the time as well so like it helped me
00:04:32.880
i was at that time literally 10 kilograms heavier than i am now and when i went vegetarian for nine
00:04:39.200
months i'd have like meat every so often um when i was at my ex-boyfriend's now house but like
00:04:46.800
just cutting out the meat for me all that time helped me actually lose that weight but also
00:04:54.400
compared to australia and here your food here goes off so much quicker which is a good thing
00:05:00.160
yeah and in australia i it can be in my fridge for like two months a month and it's still i can
00:05:05.920
still eat it yeah it doesn't last more than three days here the best kind of food expires in like
00:05:10.160
five days and after five days you're like oh which is good like i live in japan like the the japanese
00:05:15.280
wives they go to the grocery store every day because it does go off quickly yeah the do you
00:05:20.800
know what the world is going to get fatter and fatter shall i tell you why why because you know a lot of
00:05:25.040
these vegan foods these processed sausages and all that and they're saying it's vegan you need to see
00:05:30.000
what's actually in them they're they're actually they're gonna they're they actually they're not
00:05:35.920
not a process they're actually marketing thing it's another agenda yeah so all this vegan food
00:05:42.080
is still gonna carry on the obesityness because what they're putting in it's it's not great and
00:05:47.680
that's the truth and that's why i say anyone who wants to lose weight since this is a plus-size
00:05:52.880
topic eat natural foods great your vegetable try and go as organic as you can and just think about
00:05:59.440
green what's good what's yeah what can you take from the earth that's been provided naturally that's
00:06:05.680
my advice and walk i would say walk i just wanted to say like when like we were going on the um topic
00:06:12.800
of like front of magazines and stuff like that the covers of magazines do you not also think that this
00:06:18.880
whole you know 10 perfect image can also have a detrimental effect mentally women because we are
00:06:26.160
going to strive to want to be that 10 percent so that's going to then create a whole that was
00:06:31.440
me you gotta you gotta turn yeah i have an answer i have an answer only if you're mentally weak
00:06:43.440
i want my self-esteem to be a little bit humbled and lowered when i look on the covers i remember
00:06:50.400
the days when i could pull the cover off and put it on my fridge and she was my motivation yeah
00:06:55.840
i liked those days that's a good thing you're right but it does create more issues for those
00:07:03.280
people who have the trauma well and i also think it's okay to be an average chick like why do we
00:07:08.640
live in this world where you need to be top 10 percent but there's a new average but there's a new
00:07:13.200
average if people are growing more corpulent and obesity is becoming the norm then the average is
00:07:19.040
actually changing and what i want lowered right well you would agree or did you say being it's being
00:07:24.320
changed i didn't say lowered or elevated because i think that's quite subjective we're talking about
00:07:29.120
beauty we're talking about health health i don't think is beauty isn't subjective men find genuine
00:07:34.800
generally the same things attractive in what cultures and at what time periods if we read up on it
00:07:40.160
across cultures you could see that in history being on the heavier side was actually a sign of being
00:07:46.080
wealthy no that's not true i've done a study no i've done a study we've had so many people bring this
00:07:52.960
up on the shows it's not true not across the board yeah they in what cultures is it not true
00:07:59.200
it goes back to like mesopotamia and are we talking about so when i say it was a sign of being
00:08:05.360
wealthy or rich we're talking about people not having enough money and therefore starving and being on
00:08:11.120
the gaunter side of of the spectrum right versus people who are wealthy and obviously when you have
00:08:15.840
money your you know your discipline decreases and so you're spending on food and you grow to be more
00:08:21.280
corpulent and so what i'm trying to say is like there there have been multiple time periods multiple
00:08:27.440
cultures where they studied multiple fertility gods and goddesses of sex and they all were the same
00:08:34.080
they're a big nice round butt small hips big breasts yeah flat stomach okay young yes right and
00:08:41.600
that's literally multiple time periods over multiple cultures that couldn't even communicate with each
00:08:46.160
other so you're talking about asia africa you know the aztecs all of these europe they have all of these
00:08:53.280
things and it's correlating across all of these cultures during all these time periods so it's it is an
00:09:00.480
objective marker and if you look at now too like despite this gigantic corporate push towards body
00:09:08.000
positivity dudes still like skinny hot girls big boobs okay and those same women who are the
00:09:15.760
personification of beauty for men how do we know that they are not equally unhealthy as someone who is
00:09:22.640
perhaps my shape who is a little bit on the on the rounder side and people might look at me and have
00:09:27.200
health concerns that's a good yeah like let's talk about the difference the disparity between how
00:09:32.720
someone presents and what is going on on the inside because this discussion it transcends health and
00:09:39.360
beauty we're talking about i'll give you two things one is a lot more common so the the obesity is
00:09:45.440
much more common than anorexia only like yeah i don't know the exact number but it's less than five
00:09:50.400
percent of women are even underweight so one is much more common and the second thing is um morbidly
00:09:56.800
obese people's life expectancy drops so by by multi i don't i don't know the exact number off the
00:10:02.240
top of my head so when you look at the numbers of the people that are underweight and the people
00:10:05.600
that are morbidly obese the people that are morbidly obese have a lower life expectancy yeah like
00:10:09.840
these these style model these plus size models are starting to drop off there was this latina
00:10:15.200
plus size model she was 37 years old she died from heart heart attack and the number one reason
00:10:20.000
people die in the world is due to circulatory issues and once you're obese and you're consuming too much food
00:10:26.800
your veins and everything they actually get clogged up with excess amounts of fat when you're a skinny
00:10:32.800
person that's just i mean biologically it's impossible because you don't have an excess amount
00:10:36.800
of fat so when you talk about markers of health that's what i'm trying to say is like the larger
00:10:42.080
girls that one marker of health in regards to circulatory health is going to be lower compared to
00:10:48.800
somebody who is thinner and we're talking about that one specific marker of health well do you know do you
00:10:53.680
you know which uh which people live the longest on the planet which hey isn't it isn't it
00:11:01.280
mediterranean no it's japanese women oh no way and japan has the third lowest obesity rate in the world
00:11:09.280
you know as a direct correlation to that so i'll tell you why why because they eat their own food
00:11:15.120
and they ain't eating no processed foods they stuck to their rice yeah they stuck to their steamed
00:11:20.000
fish they stuck to all the natural foods that's why because they kept it not they kept it good
00:11:27.280
but with i think with the western food in general a lot of it is processed that that is the issue
