Living WildFit | Navigating Fake Food and Deceptive Marketing
One of the most emotional relationships many of us have is with food, which is often mirrored in a love/hate relationship with our bodies.
The best thing I did for my physical health last year was a program called WildFit. In late 2021, I went into a prolonged depression and gained over 30 lbs. Last summer, finally feeling better and taking positive actions, my weight was the final obstacle. That's when I discovered my guest, Eric Edmeades.
Eric is a serial entrepreneur with experience in wireless networking, military research, and Hollywood film production. Today, Eric is a leading authority in Behavioral Change Dynamics. He has created and consulted on some of the world's most effective, transformative, and highly rated educational products and live events.
Eric's dedication and passion for improving the quality of human lives worldwide inspired his flagship program, WILDFIT®, globally recognized as the most effective health transformation program on the market.
We discuss the diet industry, food marketing, the difference between diet and lifestyle, and our emotional connections to food. I share what made the WILDFIT program unique and effective for me. It is really a health program with a great side effect of weight loss.
The only species that go on diets are humans and our pets. Yet, we are the sickest animals on the planet, so clearly, something isn't working. The food in WILDFIT is based on nutritional anthropology, not the latest fads. I can't recommend WOILDFIT enough, tune in and learn why.

about w.
Women feel exist to remind men
5
00:00:11,500 --> 00:00:13,400
that they're human beings.
They have the right to
6
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,500
experience and express all of
their emotions.
7
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:18,600
We have conversations that most
men are not having but that all
8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,300
men can benefit from.
You know, one of the most
9
00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:25,000
emotional relationships, many of
us have is with food and that is
10
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,100
often mirrored in a love-hate
relationship with their own
11
00:00:27,100 --> 00:00:29,500
bodies.
The best thing I did for my
12
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:33,500
physical health last year was a
program called wild fit in late
13
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:36,200
2021.
I went into a prolonged period
14
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,700
of depression and misery.
I gained over 30 pounds in just
15
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:43,500
three months last summer,
finally feeling better about
16
00:00:43,500 --> 00:00:44,800
myself and taking positive
actions.
17
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,200
Again, my weight was the final
obstacle.
18
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:48,800
That's when I discovered my
guest.

Eric's dedication and passion

transformation program on the

00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,900
market, welcome to real men.
Feel Eric Thanks for having me.
30
00:01:21,900 --> 00:01:27,300
Good to be here.
So, I want to start, you do not
31
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:30,900
call while fit a diet.
Why is that?
32
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:33,400
Well, it's really a matter of
grammar.
33
00:01:33,500 --> 00:01:38,000
Frankly, you know, with every
with every other species on
34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,500
Earth, we worker, we refer to
their diet in a scientific sense
35
00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:45,200
that you know like an elephant
has a diet.
36
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,000
It eats about 200 kilograms of
grass and bark and seasonal
37
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,700
fruit in a drink 70 liters of
water.
38
00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:54,900
And that's its diet, and, and a
cheetah each 2.5.
39
00:01:54,900 --> 00:01:57,700
Kg kg of meat.
Fresh meat only, it won't eat
40
00:01:57,700 --> 00:01:59,300
dead meat.
That's its diet.
41
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:02,300
And leaf cutter ants.
Well, they don't eat leaves, but
42
00:02:02,300 --> 00:02:06,100
the point is they have a diet
and it is only really humans
43
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:09,800
that go on a diet, you know,
we've we do this with words
44
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,600
every now and again, where we
change the meaning of a word to
45
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,500
suit some marketing Trend.
So diet went from a species way
46
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:20,600
of life, to Temporary alteration
to your normal day-to-day
47
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,700
existence in order to help you,
squeeze in that dress for a
48
00:02:22,708 --> 00:02:27,500
special occasion.
You know, and and it's it's not
49
00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:29,300
functional that that use of the
word diet.
50
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:31,800
And by the way, Way, there's
only a few like, there's a few
51
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,600
humans, go on diets and our
pets.
52
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,800
Go on diets and by the way, who
are the sickest animals on
53
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:42,600
Earth, Did you create wild fit
because you had a challenge with
54
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,500
your own own weight?
Or was it, was it something else
55
00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:50,500
that prompted you to do it?
You know I wasn't very I wasn't
56
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:53,900
very cognizant of weight as a
problem, I was overweight but
57
00:02:53,900 --> 00:02:57,900
you know, antibody morphologies.
Interesting, when you're hanging
58
00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:02,500
around with people, you tend to
get a sense of your weight
59
00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:05,600
relative to their weight.
So you know, if you're at a if
60
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,500
you're at a county fair and
Minnesota looking like, You were
61
00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:10,200
me, you'd feel pretty bloody
thin.
62
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,900
Let me tell you, but, you know,
the average person would walk
63
00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:15,100
around and they wouldn't feel
particularly overweight because
64
00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:18,600
everybody is in that condition
and you know, I think that it,
65
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,500
you know, in my early 20s, I was
overweight but what I was
66
00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:24,900
dealing with that was more acute
to me was a variety of really
67
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:27,200
difficult symptoms.
I had terrible allergies.
68
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,500
If I walked anywhere near a cat
or dust, I would II my sinuses
69
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:33,900
would completely shut down.
I had to just have problems that
70
00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:37,400
cause debilitating pain.
My doctor had ordered me to have
71
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,900
throat surgery.
You know, I was like I was
72
00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:44,000
really suffering a lot.
I had terrible cystic acne and
73
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,700
so those things routinely sent
me to doctors and, and those
74
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:50,700
doctors routinely gave me pills
and creams and inhalants, and
75
00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:52,700
even injections and all kinds of
different things.
76
00:03:52,700 --> 00:03:55,700
And nothing really worked for me
until I Revisited my
77
00:03:55,700 --> 00:03:59,600
relationship with food.
So, and when I did that, all the
78
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,400
symptoms went away.
But I also lost about 35 pounds
79
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,900
in the first month or so.
And I wouldn't have said I
80
00:04:04,908 --> 00:04:07,600
needed to.
But of course, once I did, I
81
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,800
realized I did.
Yeah, that's why I was really
82
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,600
impressed about when I when I
first heard about this was that
83
00:04:15,100 --> 00:04:19,200
you get this this program makes
you healthier and and just
84
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,899
happens to lose you lose weight
for a lot of people they do.
85
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:27,000
Yeah, it's a strange twist that
it's maybe two orders of
86
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,100
magnitude more effective at
Weight Loss than any other quote
87
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:33,200
diet that's ever been developed.
And, but it's not, it's not a
88
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,400
diet program and it's not a
weight loss program.
89
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,700
It's a lifestyle program but of
It plays into a very important
90
00:04:39,700 --> 00:04:41,800
principle.
And that is that is is when
91
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,200
somebody develops a healthy
lifestyle, which means being
92
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,900
well-nourished, but also running
through proper seasonal.
93
00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:49,700
Change when they go through
these metabolic modes, then what
94
00:04:49,700 --> 00:04:52,900
happens is that they right size.
And and by the way, that means
95
00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:54,700
that our clients that are under
weight gain weight, and I mean
96
00:04:54,700 --> 00:04:56,300
it's our clients that are
overweight lose weight.
97
00:04:56,300 --> 00:05:00,000
And our client said are already
at a normal weight and up
98
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,400
changing your body composition
to a healthier competition with
99
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,100
a higher muscle in the lower,
you know, lower fat level is,
100
00:05:06,100 --> 00:05:09,900
what's unique about this.
Compared to other diets is that
101
00:05:09,900 --> 00:05:12,000
it's not sort of this temporary
thing.
102
00:05:12,900 --> 00:05:15,600
Well funny built into the
question, right?
103
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,000
It's it really, it really is not
a diet.
104
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,500
It's not.
It isn't a diet in the sense
105
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:23,000
that it isn't.
The temporary thing that we're
106
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,900
using a system called behavioral
change, Dynamics and effective
107
00:05:25,900 --> 00:05:29,100
transformation, so that what
happens is, as you know, when
108
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:30,800
you first of all, the programs
very sticky.
109
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,200
So when people listen to video
one, they want to listen to
110
00:05:34,207 --> 00:05:35,900
video too.
And they want to go to video
111
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:37,400
through and they want to talk to
their coach.
112
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,100
And so there's No, they don't
have to pay attention the it,
113
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:42,000
you know, it's kind of like
this.
114
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
There are books that you have
to, like, force your eyes down
115
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,700
the page.
And then there are books that
116
00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:48,300
pull your eyes down, the page.
Well, this program pulls you
117
00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:50,800
through it and so that's a big
part of it.
118
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,200
But the other thing is that the
things that we do during the
119
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,900
program, create new neurology
and and what that means is that
120
00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:02,700
it helps people reduce the
dependency on say, restriction
121
00:06:02,700 --> 00:06:05,800
and willpower which is never
going to work in the long term.
122
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,000
And so what happens is when we
pull people People like year
123
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,300
after they've done the program,
some eighty percent of them
124
00:06:11,300 --> 00:06:14,700
report that they're still way on
track and even those that report
125
00:06:14,700 --> 00:06:18,600
that they're not largely mostly
90%, tell us that, they didn't
126
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,100
go all the way back to where
they were.
127
00:06:20,300 --> 00:06:22,600
They just didn't keep improving
quite the way they wanted to,
128
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,500
and they could.
So it's the whole point is, is
129
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:31,800
that the way the way a Diet
Works is to give you a whole
130
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,000
series of restrictive rules,
many of which are
131
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,000
counterproductive to the goal,
all of which are designed to
132
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,100
harm.
Self-esteem.
133
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,300
And and then you're supposed to
use willpower to hold on to
134
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:44,000
that.
And then, of course, the average
135
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
person, it can only do that.
The average is six days.
136
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,900
So the average person can only
hang on for about six days and
137
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:56,300
then they relapse doesn't work.
And what is the food?
138
00:06:56,300 --> 00:07:01,000
What is the eating in the
program based on, right?
139
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Okay, so let's say this that
there are three, there are three
140
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,200
aspects of wild fit that are all
required for it, to be this.
141
00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:12,600
Effective and one of course is
like robust nutrition.
142
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,100
You know, that that's the key
thing on.
143
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:16,200
One of our principles, we have a
series of principles and one of
144
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:22,200
the principles is that your
health is more dependent upon
145
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,800
and determined by you getting
enough of your needs met, then
146
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,000
you eliminating things.
So right away you know most
147
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,300
diets like they just go up to
you and they rip your heart out
148
00:07:32,300 --> 00:07:33,500
of your chest.
You got to give up all your
149
00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:35,200
favorite stuff.
That's the first thing they open
150
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,400
with.
Well that's going to be a
151
00:07:36,407 --> 00:07:38,400
problem for most people
especially when you get The
152
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,200
emotional linkages and the and
all the stuff they've gone
153
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,500
through.
So the the first thing that we
154
00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:47,200
do is we focus on improving
nutrition and where are the
155
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,200
nutritional knowledge comes from
is nutritional anthropology?
156
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,900
It comes from human history food
science?
157
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:58,900
These days is it's so flawed
that it's that it's irrelevant.
158
00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:02,600
In fact, no irrelevant would
make it isn't strong enough,
159
00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:04,300
it's dangerous, that's what it
is.
160
00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:07,600
Irrelevant woodsy La, what.
I know the food science that you
161
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,200
largely In the mainstream Press,
today is actually dangerous and
162
00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:15,400
I can just give you one example.
I read, two conflicting articles
163
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,200
in the Daily Mail that talked
about the health or not of
164
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,600
eating eggs, one article said
that the eggs were healthy and
165
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,300
would even help prevent diabetes
in the other article said that
166
00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:26,300
eggs, increase the risk factor
for diabetes.
167
00:08:26,300 --> 00:08:29,500
Now, this is insane.
I so I decided to do, you know,
168
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,300
I don't know if you know this
but a lot of people get their
169
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:34,500
education from the headlines,
which is clearly a bad idea.
170
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:36,299
So I decided to do something
novel.
171
00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:39,500
I read the actual article and
then Went even more novel and I
172
00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:41,900
read the study and here's what I
found out.
173
00:08:41,900 --> 00:08:46,500
Is that in the study what they
determined was that a percentage
174
00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:48,800
of the people in the study there
was flying around. 1200 people
175
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,900
in the study was done in China
and a percentage of them found
176
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:55,000
that the consumption of eggs
correlated with an increase in
177
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,700
blood sugar.
So somewhere between that and it
178
00:08:58,700 --> 00:09:02,400
appearing in this one of the
most widely read Publications in
179
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,600
the world.
The editorial, the writer, the
180
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,800
editorial staff moved it from
correlates with an increase in
181
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,600
blood sugar.
Sugar to creates diabetes like
182
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:14,500
you know whatever but then I
went deeper into the study and
183
00:09:14,500 --> 00:09:16,600
what I found deeper into the
studies that it only happened
184
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,500
with women, that's odd.
I mean that's that's odd.
185
00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:22,100
So then I read the disclosures
of this study and in the
186
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:26,100
disclosures the study they said
that women on this study largely
187
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:30,300
did not enjoy eating eggs in the
form of scrambled fried boiled,
188
00:09:30,300 --> 00:09:33,000
or poached, and ain't.
And they consume their eggs.
189
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,300
As baked goods do not spend
cakes cookies.
190
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:40,100
And what have you?
And that correlated with an
191
00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:44,000
increase in blood sugar, and all
of that gets translated into an
192
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,700
article.
It says eggs, cause diabetes,
193
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:50,000
you know, so the so food science
today is and is absolutely
194
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,600
bought and paid for half the
time some companies are paying
195
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,400
to increase the demand of their
food, the other half.
196
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,700
They're paying very heavily to
decrease the demand of the food
197
00:09:59,700 --> 00:10:02,100
they're competing with.
So in this case that article was
198
00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:05,000
almost certainly pushed ahead by
somebody in the carbohydrate
199
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,400
industry that wants to see
people eat less eggs because
200
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,400
eggs are so safe.
Creating that they, that
201
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,400
they're, you know, they want
people to eat their eggs.
202
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,700
They want them to eat their
carbohydrate products instead of
203
00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:17,400
eating eggs.
So we're in this game of Risk
204
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,300
for the food industry is
fighting for our plate.
205
00:10:19,300 --> 00:10:23,800
Share all the time.
So I have a better question if
206
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,000
you suddenly got yourself an
exotic pet and you had to figure
207
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,600
out what to feed it.
Would you go to Harvard website
208
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,200
or PubMed?
And look for the latest
209
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,200
double-blind study.
That was funded by a pet food
210
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,500
company to figure out what you
should feed your pet, or would
211
00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:37,200
you watch the nature channel,
right?
212
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,100
Right.
It's nature Channel within an
213
00:10:39,100 --> 00:10:40,500
hour.
You would have a pretty good
214
00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:42,600
understanding of what your
animals lifestyle is, because
215
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,900
there it is in nature.
Well, we have both present-day
216
00:10:45,900 --> 00:10:48,500
hunter-gatherer communities and
we have the archaeological
217
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:51,100
record, there is no question
about the evolved human diet.
218
00:10:51,100 --> 00:10:52,900
There is no question anybody who
wants to argue.
219
00:10:52,900 --> 00:10:56,700
There's a question just doesn't
know or well they know and they
220
00:10:56,700 --> 00:10:59,000
have an agenda.
So when we look at nutritional
221
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,400
anthropology, we were able to
create a very good makeup of,
222
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,500
not only what we ate, but in
roughly, what ratios and also in
223
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:07,600
what seasonal Cycles, we ate
them in and and that that's
224
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,300
where the Churchill underpinning
of wild to comes from then I've
225
00:11:11,300 --> 00:11:12,900
already hinted towards this is
second feature.
226
00:11:12,900 --> 00:11:15,900
That's very you know, that's
unique and a big part of why.
227
00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:18,400
Well, if it's such a
differentiator is that we
228
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,400
recognize that not only did our
ancestors evolved to survive
229
00:11:22,700 --> 00:11:25,700
seasonal, fluctuation, but to
utilize those seasonal modes,
230
00:11:25,700 --> 00:11:28,600
they are important to us.
It's actually important to go
231
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,900
through seasonal, fluctuation
and, and when you fail to do
232
00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:33,800
that, you put your body out of
balance.
233
00:11:34,100 --> 00:11:36,500
And then the third piece really
has to do with the behavioral,
234
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:39,600
change the psychology of it.
It will power alone is never
235
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,100
going to get the job done and
you're changing Urology.
236
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:45,100
Has to happen in the program is
designed to do that.
237
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,100
Yeah.
And it does that amazingly well,
238
00:11:48,300 --> 00:11:51,200
I don't know if there's a
conscious gamification but it
239
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,500
was fun.
Like every Friday you call it
240
00:11:53,500 --> 00:11:55,300
enhancement day and it's like oh
What's it gonna be?
241
00:11:55,300 --> 00:11:57,500
What's it going to be in?
The community is excited to find
242
00:11:57,500 --> 00:12:00,400
out what the new thing is, it
worth is new thing or whatever
243
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,700
might be.
It was really interesting and
244
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,100
you know, a lot of other
programs make a big point of
245
00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:08,800
exercise as well.
So how much exercise Is required
246
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,200
in Wild fit?
Well, frankly, no exercise is
247
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,700
required.
We encourage people to undertake
248
00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:16,800
something that we call
intentional movement and that is
249
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,900
to, you know, take extra steps
and forego the Rockstar parking
250
00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:23,100
and skip the elevators for the
few floors.
251
00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:24,600
And that's the leaders in that
kind of stuff.
252
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,500
And, and, you know, we also
don't discourage somebody, if
253
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:31,500
they want to go out there and
exercise, unless there are
254
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:34,500
particular profile, which is to
say that they're carrying, say,
255
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:38,600
over about 30 pounds.
And they really have A fair bit
256
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,600
of weight, they want to release.
And in that case, will often
257
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,300
discourage them from doing
intensive exercise, particularly
258
00:12:44,300 --> 00:12:47,000
if they're women because they,
that increases cortisol
259
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000
production, which has the effect
of potentially slowing down the
260
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,900
weight, release the truth is
your body shape.
261
00:12:52,900 --> 00:12:58,100
In terms of, you know, releasing
weight is 95% food and 5%
262
00:12:58,100 --> 00:13:02,700
exercise that 5% exercise is
incredibly important, but if you
263
00:13:02,700 --> 00:13:05,300
do it in the wrong order it's
frankly dangerous.
264
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,900
That's one of the biggest pieces
I took out This ayat always why
265
00:13:09,900 --> 00:13:12,100
I want to lose weight.
I'm going to exercise more and
266
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:15,200
eat less, and, and nothing
changed or sometimes, I would
267
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,200
even gain weight.
So, yeah, it wasn't till I
268
00:13:18,208 --> 00:13:20,400
realized, I was, well, family
realize.
269
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,600
I was, I was putting my body
into starvation mode and my body
270
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,900
was fighting to keep all the
fatted could because it's like,
271
00:13:25,900 --> 00:13:27,900
what are you doing to me?
Yeah, yeah.
272
00:13:27,900 --> 00:13:31,500
That's exactly what right?
And you know, the the diet
273
00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:34,100
industry on the whole, I mean
they asked people in calories
274
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:36,300
trick, they don't understand
that the metabolic response to
275
00:13:36,300 --> 00:13:37,900
calorie restriction is to hold
on tighter.
276
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,200
R-right, they asked people to
count calories.
277
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,400
Well, that is also stressful and
we're raising cortisol level.
278
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,100
They asked people to wait, wait,
wait, themselves all the time
279
00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:48,700
that's stressful.
They asked him to do intensive
280
00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:51,100
levels of exercise, which most
of them aren't in the physical
281
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:53,000
shape to be doing.
So they damage their knees and
282
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,700
what have you and and then on
top of all that, they asked them
283
00:13:56,700 --> 00:13:59,400
to feel guilt and shame.
When they can't stick to the
284
00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:02,200
incredibly complex set of rules
of the diet and of course, guilt
285
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,600
and shame are both food
triggers.
286
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:06,300
So the diet industry is
basically designed to damage
287
00:14:06,300 --> 00:14:07,900
your self-esteem and Trigger
food.
288
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,700
Savings as it always been this
way, did was there ever food
289
00:14:11,700 --> 00:14:14,500
marketing that we just accurate
and trying to help consumers?
290
00:14:17,300 --> 00:14:22,500
You know, I don't know that
there's like one particular evil
291
00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:26,400
executive working in a software
company in Atlanta Georgia II
292
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,900
just you know, just randomly.
But what I do think is that, you
293
00:14:30,900 --> 00:14:34,000
know, I think with this way, I
saw a comedian do this.
294
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,900
Once I wish I could give credit
but I'll just, I'll just steal
295
00:14:36,900 --> 00:14:38,800
it and hope that somebody knows
where it came from.
296
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,800
But it's like, you know, you
could get all angry and you
297
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,800
could go, that's it.
I'm so mad at what the food
298
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,900
industry's doing and they sneak
sugar into.
299
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,600
In their manipulative marketing
campaigns.
300
00:14:46,700 --> 00:14:48,300
I want to go to the food
industry and I want to punch
301
00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:51,000
somebody in the face, okay?
Who you going to punch in the
302
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,400
face or you gonna go punch the
girl at the retail or the boy at
303
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,800
the retail counter who's was
clearly not their fault.
304
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,500
So you better go find the
manager of the store but it's a
305
00:14:58,508 --> 00:15:01,600
retail chain saw his faults now
we got to go maybe go directly
306
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,000
to manufacture that Nabisco and
I want to punch them in the
307
00:15:04,008 --> 00:15:05,200
face.
So I think I can't believe
308
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,400
you're doing this to us.
Only that person's just doing a
309
00:15:07,408 --> 00:15:09,800
job, that's the job they got.
They're not, they're not evil,
310
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,200
they're just hitting the target.
So why are they doing it then?
311
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,200
Oh, you know why?
It's because the CEO that That's
312
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,300
who we gotta punch in the face.
We got to go punch the CEO in
313
00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:18,600
the face.
We're doing it.
314
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,900
Well, the CEO toe is really just
doing what the board told him to
315
00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:26,400
do or her to do.
So, what we got to do is go find
316
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,300
the members of the board and
punch all of them in the face,
317
00:15:28,300 --> 00:15:30,000
right?
You know, that you guys did this
318
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,900
to us, you see you board members
that Nabisco.
319
00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:36,700
It's your fault.
Only only the board members are
320
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:38,700
really, they're really just
trying to.
321
00:15:38,900 --> 00:15:41,300
They're really just trying to do
what the shareholders told him
322
00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:42,700
to do so who are the
shareholders?
323
00:15:42,700 --> 00:15:46,300
Well, they shareholders are.
The large Pension funds that
324
00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:48,300
you're in my parents have their
pensions in.
325
00:15:48,300 --> 00:15:50,300
So we got to go punch our
parents in the face.
326
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,200
You know what, I'm trying to get
at is that I don't think there's
327
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:59,600
a specific evil person making
this stuff happen and I think
328
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,000
occasionally there are people
that in the food industry.
329
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
That really mean to do good
things.
330
00:16:04,300 --> 00:16:07,200
But if we take a look at like
Kellogg's for example, Kellogg's
331
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,600
has, you know chemical materials
that are in their food in
332
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,200
America that they have
acknowledged are bad and that
333
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,600
they specifically Cause problems
with attention deficit.
334
00:16:17,700 --> 00:16:20,400
Like, they've acknowledged that
they then undertook to remove
335
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,800
those things from their food.
They missed their own deadline
336
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,700
for removing them because a they
haven't found the right
337
00:16:25,700 --> 00:16:27,300
formulations to replace them
yet.
338
00:16:27,300 --> 00:16:31,000
With meanwhile in the EU,
Kellogg's make cereal there
339
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,600
without those chemicals.
Because in the EU, there are
340
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,900
regulations that protect the
citizens against that kind of
341
00:16:36,900 --> 00:16:40,600
thing.
So you know it's it's hard to
342
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,100
know exactly when all this
started but I will say this,
343
00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:46,400
it's not new.
And it really comes down to you
344
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,700
and me because if you and me
20,000 years ago were walking
345
00:16:50,700 --> 00:16:53,400
along and we return to one of
the camps that we as
346
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,600
hunter-gatherers would
occasionally return to.
347
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,300
And we haven't been there for
about two years and we sit down
348
00:16:58,300 --> 00:17:00,800
and we look over and we go, oh
my gosh.
349
00:17:01,500 --> 00:17:05,900
What's going on over there?
Like what Andy?
350
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
There's do?
You know that one fruit that we
351
00:17:08,008 --> 00:17:11,800
really like it's growing right?
Where you and I sat last year.
352
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,900
Remember we had the handfuls and
we were eating, you don't think
353
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,800
Think we did that to you I mean
something like that had to
354
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,500
happen right?
At one point in time.
355
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:22,599
Some early human spotted the
pattern we throw the seeds there
356
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:25,900
or we drop them or and they
start growing along that path or
357
00:17:25,900 --> 00:17:28,600
in that spot and the minute we
spotted that.
358
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,100
Here's here's the next
conversation.
359
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,500
Well Andy, since we now know how
to grow food, should we grow the
360
00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:36,500
yummy?
Sweet stuff, or the green?
361
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:39,800
Bitter stuff.
And that's where it all went
362
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:40,400
wrong.
The minute.
363
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,600
We could start growing for
pleasure.
364
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,900
So you've mentioned just now
eating for pleasure but also the
365
00:17:46,900 --> 00:17:50,100
guilt and shame are.
What are the most common
366
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:53,100
emotional issues or resistance
tied to food?
367
00:17:54,200 --> 00:18:00,100
Wow, there are so many they and
really it really all begins in
368
00:18:00,100 --> 00:18:03,300
childhood.
I'm sure you've seen this, but
369
00:18:03,300 --> 00:18:06,100
you've got a child, you know,
running down the street, trips
370
00:18:06,100 --> 00:18:11,300
falls lands, lands, hard.
Looks up immediately for parent
371
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,600
if it cannot find a parent and
it wasn't hurt that bad.
372
00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:17,500
And what does it do?
That child just gets up keeps
373
00:18:17,500 --> 00:18:23,700
playing but if mummy or daddy or
nearby, you know, it's right and
374
00:18:23,700 --> 00:18:26,500
no Mommy, your daddy being in.
Good parents would do anything
375
00:18:26,500 --> 00:18:27,500
to end.
Their child's painting, the
376
00:18:27,500 --> 00:18:30,100
cookie and the minute, they hand
over that cookie.
377
00:18:30,100 --> 00:18:32,500
The child stops crying.
So first of all the parents
378
00:18:32,500 --> 00:18:35,400
learn shit, that works well and
secondly the child learns.
379
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,900
Oh look, The Cookie is related
to love and healing and
380
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:43,100
Anesthesia it, neutralizes pain.
And so now, you wonder why it 45
381
00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:45,700
years old, you walk in and buy a
back box of Chips, Ahoy on
382
00:18:45,700 --> 00:18:47,100
scarf.
The thing down, well, because
383
00:18:47,100 --> 00:18:49,600
you're in pain.
So, there's, there's a bunch of
384
00:18:49,608 --> 00:18:51,600
those types of things.
But then, there's also the food
385
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:56,100
industry that have very
intentionally attempted to
386
00:18:56,100 --> 00:18:59,300
remove your capacity for
conscious decision making by
387
00:18:59,300 --> 00:19:01,100
anchoring emotional states to
their food.
388
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,800
You deserve a break today, you
deserve a kid cap.
389
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,400
I mean, it was entirely about
trying to get you to go right in
390
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,500
and get their thing the minute.
You are on a break and, and, and
391
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,700
like, let's be clear.
They have the best marketers in
392
00:19:14,700 --> 00:19:16,600
the world, because most of them
are now owned by tobacco
393
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,200
companies.
So in those tobacco people, they
394
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,900
knew what they were doing
manipulating.
395
00:19:20,900 --> 00:19:23,800
I mean, they were manipulating
people into doing something
396
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,400
that's obviously not a good
idea, inhaling smoke.
397
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,200
I mean, anybody sitting around a
campfire, nose inhaling smoke is
398
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,000
obviously not a good idea and
they managed to trick the vast
399
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,400
majority of the people at the
time to do that thing.
400
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,900
And once they had to move out of
that, they moved and took those
401
00:19:37,900 --> 00:19:40,500
manipulative marketing.
And addiction programs and what
402
00:19:40,500 --> 00:19:42,000
have you moved them into the
food industry.
403
00:19:42,900 --> 00:19:47,700
So it seems we're at the mercy
of unconscious parenting and
404
00:19:47,700 --> 00:19:49,600
very conscious and deceptive
marketing.
405
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,100
There you go, there you go.
It's like, it's like, you know,
406
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,300
one of the, one of the ways to
look at it is often talk to
407
00:19:56,300 --> 00:19:58,900
parents and like, I don't really
want to, I don't, you know, I
408
00:19:58,908 --> 00:20:02,100
don't like sales and like well I
tell you right now, the entire
409
00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:04,300
Destiny of your children comes
down to who the who's the best
410
00:20:04,300 --> 00:20:06,500
sales people in their life?
Because the drug dealer down,
411
00:20:06,500 --> 00:20:08,600
the street is the salesperson
and they're going to sell them
412
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,000
on it.
Drugs, you got to sell them off
413
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,500
the drugs.
So, you know, it really comes
414
00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:15,900
down to that and the trouble is
that most parents don't
415
00:20:15,900 --> 00:20:18,500
understand what's going on with
the food industry and they don't
416
00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:21,100
understand.
Like I was really blown away.
417
00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:24,000
I was in a restaurant with some
very good friends of mine and
418
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,600
this is some years ago now.
But we're at this restaurant and
419
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,700
they had a little boy and he was
about two and a half or
420
00:20:28,700 --> 00:20:31,700
approaching 3 years old and the
father ordered a Coke which I
421
00:20:31,708 --> 00:20:35,900
just, I forgot people did that.
Like, I forgot that people do
422
00:20:35,900 --> 00:20:36,800
that.
It's like, sometimes I see
423
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,900
people smoking to go.
Oh my God, they still do.
424
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
That I didn't know I have
sheltered myself, but so we
425
00:20:42,008 --> 00:20:44,100
ordered a Coke and then he
poured some of the coke into a
426
00:20:44,108 --> 00:20:46,800
little glass and he handed it to
his son at two and a half years
427
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,300
old.
And I'm like, Hold on.
428
00:20:49,300 --> 00:20:52,800
Now, what is going on here?
And then the kid wouldn't take
429
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,100
it because kids shipped it.
Typically don't like new things,
430
00:20:55,100 --> 00:20:57,000
right?
So so they don't like new things
431
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,000
that's, you know, so that's why
it's hard to get them to eat
432
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,100
broccoli because if they didn't
grow up eating it, then it's new
433
00:21:01,100 --> 00:21:03,500
and they don't want to have it.
So the kid doesn't want any
434
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:05,000
goes, no, come on.
Give it a try and get a try.
435
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,700
No kidding.
The father took on the role of
436
00:21:06,700 --> 00:21:08,400
the drug dealer.
Come on kid.
437
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,600
You're gonna love it.
You're gonna love it so much,
438
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,200
give it a try.
And of course the kid does and
439
00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:17,700
And there it is.
The addictions begun.
440
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,500
Well, if it were me as a parent
I would have waited.
441
00:21:20,500 --> 00:21:23,600
As long as I could for that
introduction to happen, I
442
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,200
wouldn't have forbidden it,
don't get me wrong.
443
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,500
That doesn't work either.
Forbidding it just activates the
444
00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:30,300
child's desire to Rebel.
What I would have preferred to
445
00:21:30,300 --> 00:21:34,000
do is wait until it was
unavoidable Because by the time
446
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,100
it's unavoidable, the child has
a better sense of consequences,
447
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:38,800
you know, a four or five year
old.
448
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,800
Child, can link up a temper,
tantrum with the coke.
449
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,800
They drank an hour before they
can figure that out, but not, if
450
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,300
they were already addicted from.
M2.
451
00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:51,400
I mentioned that some people's
fears around hearing while fit
452
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,300
our that it's so restrictive.
I can't live my life.
453
00:21:54,300 --> 00:21:55,800
I can't go out to eat.
I can't see people.
454
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,200
I've just got to, like, lock
myself at home and not touch,
455
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,500
all the evil Foods in the world.
Why would you say no, I can tell
456
00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:06,400
you nobody, who does wild fit,
says that?
457
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,400
It's the people who are thinking
of doing it, who think it's a
458
00:22:09,408 --> 00:22:11,500
diet.
And and so then they, then they
459
00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:13,900
feel like that because diets
have made them feel that way in
460
00:22:13,900 --> 00:22:16,300
the past, a huge amount of what
we have to do in marketing.
461
00:22:16,300 --> 00:22:17,600
Say, look, it's not gonna be
like anything you've done
462
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,300
before.
Like it's just not, by the way,
463
00:22:19,300 --> 00:22:21,900
you tell me on day one, when you
showed up, didn't you think it
464
00:22:21,900 --> 00:22:24,200
was just like it was so
different than anything you've
465
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,500
seen before you or even question
whether or not it was saying is
466
00:22:26,500 --> 00:22:27,600
that was that would that be fair
to say?
467
00:22:27,608 --> 00:22:31,000
Yeah, that's accurate.
Yeah, it's that different And
468
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,000
so, you know, it's when people
say that I have two different
469
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,500
responses, one is, you won't
feel that way.
470
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:37,200
Once the once you've gone
through the program because
471
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,200
you'll have new neurology about
food and the other.
472
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,800
The other thing about that is
that, you know, are you willing
473
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,900
to walk into a restaurant order
food, you way you want to have
474
00:22:45,900 --> 00:22:48,100
it and and you know because
these days you go in a
475
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:50,600
restaurant and most of the items
on the menu, the way I look at a
476
00:22:50,608 --> 00:22:54,300
menu is a menu is a badly
organized list of ingredients.
477
00:22:55,100 --> 00:22:57,200
The menu shows you what the
restaurant has and the way
478
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,200
they'd like to serve it to you
but it doesn't have to be that
479
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,500
way.
And then some people go.
480
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:03,300
I don't want See that guy, you
know, I want to be the bad guy,
481
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,700
you know.
Can I have it with this?
482
00:23:05,700 --> 00:23:08,000
And without that in a little bit
of this and can you swap one of
483
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000
the I don't want to be that guy?
Well, you know what?
484
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,900
That guy is way less likely to
get diabetes.
485
00:23:11,900 --> 00:23:14,300
That guy is way Lesley.
You have circular or problems
486
00:23:14,300 --> 00:23:16,900
that resulted in a tation.
And you know, vision loss, that
487
00:23:16,900 --> 00:23:18,500
guy is way less likely to get
cancer.
488
00:23:18,500 --> 00:23:20,200
That guy's way less likely to
have heart disease.
489
00:23:20,300 --> 00:23:23,400
That guy is way more likely to
live in his old age, and be able
490
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,300
to play on the floor with his
grandchildren, because his knee
491
00:23:25,300 --> 00:23:27,600
still bloody work.
That's who that guy is.
492
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,900
And that has a lot to do with
self-esteem.
493
00:23:30,100 --> 00:23:32,800
It takes.
Self-esteem to walk in and and
494
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,000
have it the way you wanted.
It takes self-esteem to say to
495
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,300
your friends.
I'd love to come for dinner, you
496
00:23:36,308 --> 00:23:38,000
just need to know.
This is the way it is.
497
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,800
For me, that take self-esteem
and a big part of what wild fits
498
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,000
about is building self-esteem.
A big part of the diet industry
499
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,800
is reducing self-esteem, and
that's exactly what happened.
500
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,400
Somebody goes on a diet when
they're done, they have less
501
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,800
self-esteem than when they
started by the time you've gone
502
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,300
through the first three weeks of
wild fit you feel better about
503
00:23:55,300 --> 00:23:58,600
yourself as a human being for
pleb for a plethora of reasons
504
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,400
as you know?
Yeah yeah some of the It's that
505
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,900
that I found unique to, it were
the amount and level of coaching
506
00:24:04,900 --> 00:24:08,900
happening, the the full concept
of a being in a community.
507
00:24:09,100 --> 00:24:12,100
This isn't something that that
you just like, oh, I'll start
508
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:16,700
this by myself, my own schedule,
like it's very organized.
509
00:24:16,700 --> 00:24:20,000
And yeah, even again, it's
ritualised with again with that
510
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,200
Friday waiting.
What's next?
511
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,100
And what's it going to do to us
now and, you know, that sort of
512
00:24:24,100 --> 00:24:26,600
thing.
But but again II surprise I
513
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,600
found it just surprisingly fun
but the psychological aspects.
514
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,400
These were truly blow him out.
Like I've done, I've done lots
515
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,100
of work but I was still like,
shocked that every food that I
516
00:24:38,100 --> 00:24:41,400
have ever overeaten was a food
that was a reward in my
517
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,400
childhood and I never realized
that and told you asked me to
518
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,300
look into it.
Yeah, so it was little things
519
00:24:47,300 --> 00:24:49,500
like that, that added up to Big
differences.
520
00:24:49,900 --> 00:24:55,800
And, you know, with my program
ended on Thanksgiving Day which
521
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:56,900
was.
I hope you can do Thanksgiving,
522
00:24:56,900 --> 00:24:58,400
how can you?
I'm like well we did it by
523
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,000
having the healthiest
Thanksgiving ever had in our
524
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,200
lives and it was And you felt
better the next day than anybody
525
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,600
else.
Did after Thanksgiving.
526
00:25:04,900 --> 00:25:07,500
Yep.
Normally my normal Thanksgiving,
527
00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:11,100
we always host, would everyone
goes home and at midnight, I
528
00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:15,000
finish like five pies by myself
as a Penance as a reward.
529
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,100
And I feel gross for the next
two or three days, that's my
530
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:19,400
normal Thanksgiving and that did
not happen this year and they
531
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,100
did not miss it.
And then December, we went to
532
00:25:23,100 --> 00:25:26,200
Las Vegas for a wedding and in
some of the marketing, you say
533
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,600
you'll be able to withstand the
most decadent Buffets in Vegas.
534
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,200
I'm like, oh we're going to put
This is the test and yeah, it
535
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:38,000
all looked gross to me.
I was amazed, I don't I think I
536
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,800
hope we were there for seven
days.
537
00:25:40,100 --> 00:25:42,900
I think we had one dessert.
One set a really high end fancy
538
00:25:42,900 --> 00:25:44,500
place.
Not just eating like free ice
539
00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:46,500
cream bars and just stuff like
that anywhere.
540
00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:51,400
So it not only did it work
during the program, you know.
541
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,800
You you you there's a way of
living the program.
542
00:25:54,900 --> 00:25:57,600
So again, it's not this temp.
It's a temporary thing kind of
543
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,600
with, with the structure but
then it is really surprisingly.
544
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,700
Easy to keep going.
If I know there are a lot of
545
00:26:03,900 --> 00:26:07,900
foods that you are not a fan of,
if they're if you had the power
546
00:26:07,900 --> 00:26:11,000
to remove one food or so-called
fake food, what would it be?
547
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,400
Well, you know it's sort of a
funny thought exercise because
548
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,000
you know, you could you could
you zero in on a particular
549
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,700
food, that that was like the
linchpin or the Keystone
550
00:26:23,700 --> 00:26:25,200
ingredient.
That's in a lot of food.
551
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,000
You know, you could say well
like refined sugar, for example,
552
00:26:29,300 --> 00:26:33,100
but the truth is what I would do
right now, if I really had the
553
00:26:33,100 --> 00:26:35,800
power to do it is I would just
delete all breakfast cereal,
554
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,500
just delete breakfast Europe
because that's where a huge
555
00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:40,300
amount of the problem.
Starts for children and said,
556
00:26:40,300 --> 00:26:42,200
they're being fed dessert.
Every day before they go to
557
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,200
school.
And we wonder why they have
558
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,500
attention deficit problems.
And we wonder why they have I
559
00:26:45,500 --> 00:26:47,100
hyperactivity problems.
Well, guess what?
560
00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:49,900
The number two ingredient on
almost every breakfast cereal in
561
00:26:49,908 --> 00:26:53,200
the world is number is sugar and
that in the old and generally,
562
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,000
if it isn't number two, it's
because it's number one and then
563
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,900
kids are sprinkling sugar on top
of it off.
564
00:26:57,900 --> 00:26:59,400
And you know, we're honey or
something like that.
565
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,300
So I would I would eliminate
breakfast cereal.
566
00:27:02,300 --> 00:27:05,600
I think Kellogg Kellogg did US
UND.
567
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,800
I believe.
He think he was, I think he
568
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,600
thought he was doing the right
things and he had people going
569
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,200
on fasting and all kind of stuff
you just have leave.
570
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,600
Misguided and and he and being
as misguided it is, he's now
571
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,600
caused Untold death and harm to
hundreds of thousands millions
572
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,900
of people.
And so I would I would remove
573
00:27:19,900 --> 00:27:24,600
breakfast cereal if I could do
it and we mentioned all sorts of
574
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,800
health issues and diseases that
come about from the eating, the
575
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,300
wrong things.
So is it truly the most
576
00:27:31,300 --> 00:27:36,000
effective and cost-effective and
speed effective way to eliminate
577
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,300
Disease by changing.
What we put in our bodies, You
578
00:27:40,300 --> 00:27:45,100
know?
Yeah, I can give you some sort
579
00:27:45,100 --> 00:27:48,000
of, I suppose relatively hard
evidence of that you see the,
580
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,900
your body wants to be healthy.
Everybody's body wants to be
581
00:27:50,908 --> 00:27:53,600
healthy.
So, your immune system, let me
582
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,700
just back up from it.
You don't have an immune system,
583
00:27:55,700 --> 00:27:58,300
nobody has an immune system,
there's no immune system.
584
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,200
Your body is an immune system.
Every, every part of your body
585
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,200
is working to keep it healthy
and heal it and protect it from
586
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,200
pathogens.
He's like, you know, the
587
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,600
closest, Part of the, the one
part of the body, you could kind
588
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,800
of argue has the strongest role
in say, being an immune system
589
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,000
where the two parts of your
lymphatic system and your
590
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,700
capacity for producing
antibodies.
591
00:28:18,700 --> 00:28:22,300
But the truth of the matter is,
if you trip and fall and you
592
00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:24,300
start to feel tingling in your
fingers, that's your immune
593
00:28:24,300 --> 00:28:27,200
system already preparing, you,
for impact, your producing
594
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,700
coagulants to stop you from
bleeding before you've even
595
00:28:30,700 --> 00:28:33,300
given cut, like the immune
system is just phenomenal.
596
00:28:33,300 --> 00:28:37,300
Your body wants to be healthy.
And so a really neat way to look
597
00:28:37,300 --> 00:28:38,800
at this.
Is how long does it?
598
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,500
To create type 2 diabetes.
Well at the level of seed oil
599
00:28:43,500 --> 00:28:46,200
and processed sugar and garbage
production.
600
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,000
We were eating in the 70s, it
took about 40 years, it took
601
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,000
about now, you can do it in 20
years, you know, but still it
602
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,700
takes decades, right?
It takes decades, how quickly
603
00:28:55,700 --> 00:28:57,600
can type 2 diabetes, be
reversed.
604
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,500
Well, first of all, there are
doctors who don't even know.
605
00:29:00,500 --> 00:29:02,500
It can be reversed, they treat
it like a chronic disease so
606
00:29:02,508 --> 00:29:04,300
they can subscribe you to
medicine for the rest of life.
607
00:29:04,300 --> 00:29:07,300
But the truth is its reversible
in the vast majority of cases
608
00:29:07,500 --> 00:29:10,600
and it can be reserved reverse.
First and six eight, nine weeks.
609
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:15,700
Like it can be done quickly.
So if we were, I've never
610
00:29:15,700 --> 00:29:17,400
thought of it this way before
but it just popped in my head.
611
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,800
Let's thing with this way, if we
thought of it, like a scale, how
612
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:26,700
much weight is on the scale that
that it takes 20 years to create
613
00:29:26,700 --> 00:29:29,200
the disease?
Only we, how much we only have
614
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,100
to put the slightest, slightest
weight back on the scale and
615
00:29:32,100 --> 00:29:36,200
turn the whole thing around and
six weeks, you know, anybody
616
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,600
who's only ever about six weeks
away from returning around
617
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:39,600
there.
He's why?
618
00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:42,800
Because the body was fighting
the whole time, it was lifting
619
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,300
this phenomenal waiting.
I can hold it, I can hold it.
620
00:29:45,300 --> 00:29:48,000
I can hold it and all it needs
for you to do is just take a
621
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,300
little off and then the body can
go.
622
00:29:49,300 --> 00:29:51,400
I got it.
I've got it.
623
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:56,000
So, so what I would say is that,
anybody healing from anything
624
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:01,600
injury disease, the first thing
to do, is to get your body's
625
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,000
physical needs met.
Good quality are good hydration,
626
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,000
sunlight nutrition, and sleep,
take care of those things.
627
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,400
And then your immune, System is
engaged and Magic can happen and
628
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,200
you can turn things around far
more quickly than people even
629
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,500
realize how awesome.
And then it may be that you
630
00:30:17,500 --> 00:30:20,400
still need medical intervention.
I'm not arguing against that.
631
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,000
I'm just saying that.
What we do is we shortcut.
632
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,800
Oh, I'm carrying 40 pounds.
I'll take ozen pick.
633
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:28,600
Well, only if you want to take
it for the rest of your bloody
634
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,600
life because the studies are
showing you come off it and you
635
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,400
put the weight back on or the
vast majority of it back on and
636
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,800
you put it on quickly to the
average person is only gaining
637
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,500
gaining.
Something like Pounds a year, we
638
00:30:40,500 --> 00:30:42,700
but apparently, I think
something like people on his
639
00:30:42,700 --> 00:30:45,200
impact, put back 70% of the
weight within two years or
640
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:46,200
something.
It's incredible.
641
00:30:46,900 --> 00:30:49,500
Guess what once you start taking
it, you're supposed to take it
642
00:30:49,500 --> 00:30:53,000
for the rest of your life.
Well, what if instead you just
643
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,300
change your lifestyle, you know,
and didn't have to be on that
644
00:30:56,300 --> 00:30:59,000
drug at $200, a month, plus the
side effects.
645
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:04,100
So as Eric as the creator of
lots of cool, beneficial things
646
00:31:04,500 --> 00:31:08,200
products programs companies.
I wonder what, what, what are
647
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,100
you most proud?
Dove.
648
00:31:11,500 --> 00:31:14,800
Well, I suppose you're asking
professionally and I'm most,
649
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,100
really, I'm just take in
children.
650
00:31:16,100 --> 00:31:19,100
But yeah, taking take it how you
take it, how it lands with you.
651
00:31:19,100 --> 00:31:21,200
I want I want it to be your
answer and then there's not a
652
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,500
qualification on it.
Well, I'll go I'll go with
653
00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:27,100
professionally.
The truth of the matter is that
654
00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:30,200
I am most proud of wild fit
professionally.
655
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:31,600
I've done some cool stuff in my
life.
656
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,000
Like, I started a company that
built, hyper-realistic trauma,
657
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,400
simulators that won awards from
the US Army because we were
658
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,600
doing Hollywood, special
effects, and we took that Tech
659
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,600
over.
And we see, we literally saved
660
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,400
lives and I'm very proud of all
that.
661
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,500
But the thing with wild fit is
that at this stage, maybe
662
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:49,000
100,000 people around the world
have been through our core
663
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,100
program, over half a million.
People have been through our
664
00:31:51,100 --> 00:31:53,400
master classes, we've helped
people lose Millions.
665
00:31:53,500 --> 00:31:55,400
Pounds.
We've helped thousands of people
666
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,900
reverse type 2, diabetes and
push a variety of other diseases
667
00:31:57,900 --> 00:32:00,500
into remission.
Get off, chronic medications and
668
00:32:00,500 --> 00:32:02,500
massively, enhance their quality
of life.
669
00:32:02,700 --> 00:32:05,000
And we're only at the beginning
of that cycle and the joke of it
670
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,700
is I started as a hobby.
I really like I started as a
671
00:32:08,708 --> 00:32:12,400
hobby a and it's been my most
successful business by far wow.
672
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,200
So I imagine that have you
looking closer at other Hobbies
673
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,600
you have yeah yeah well pretty
much everything I do now is a
674
00:32:18,608 --> 00:32:20,700
hobby so that's good news.
Cool awesome.
675
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,600
So Eric, what's the best way for
people to learn more about About
676
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,000
wild fit.
Well get wild fit.com is our
677
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,400
website.
Obviously, that's a great place
678
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,200
to start.
We even have a try wild fit
679
00:32:31,700 --> 00:32:34,200
program where people can do the
first two weeks of the program
680
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,100
and onboard themselves.
And and and that's really really
681
00:32:37,100 --> 00:32:38,600
a nice way to put their toes in
the water.
682
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:41,500
You can also follow me on
Instagram, I manage my own
683
00:32:41,500 --> 00:32:43,400
Instagram.
It's not an agency it to me, and
684
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,200
it's at Eric Ed needs and yeah,
I think that's those are the
685
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:48,500
best ways.
Awesome.
686
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,700
And I just want to stress to
everyone listening, I pay paid
687
00:32:53,700 --> 00:32:55,900
for the program.
This wasn't some like, oh of you
688
00:32:55,900 --> 00:32:58,000
have become my podcast.
If I can do the program for you
689
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,000
was like that.
Like I invited Eric on to want
690
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,700
to have a competition about this
because I was so impressed and
691
00:33:02,700 --> 00:33:04,800
Blown Away by the program and
the results.
692
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,200
And what am I five months
removed from it?
693
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:14,300
And I think I'm three pounds
above where the that
694
00:33:14,300 --> 00:33:18,200
Thanksgiving morning when.
When, after my 90 days, what was
695
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,000
your net change?
You know, from the beginning of
696
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,800
the program, I was just under 30
pounds. £30.
697
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,800
Yeah, only 29.
It's really easy.
698
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,000
It's really easy to Discount
that.
699
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,600
But you're talking about like if
you ever if you ever if you ever
700
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,800
find yourself like it wasn't
that big a deal.
701
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,900
Go take a backpack, stick 30
pounds, and it carried around
702
00:33:36,900 --> 00:33:40,700
for the day and then the
steering thing more than the
703
00:33:40,700 --> 00:33:44,400
number is how like I've never
felt as healthy.
704
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,600
Like yeah, I'm living on these
the program is over.
705
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,600

vegetable concoction that that
