Brian Johnson argues fruits and vegetables shouldn't be grouped together because fruits are high in fructose while vegetables are low-sugar nutrient powerhouses. Dave Asprey limits fructose to 25 grams daily, about two apples, and lost roughly 100 pounds by cutting fruit. Johnson pitches his $10/month membership for micro classes and Philosopher's Notes summaries.

Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to another micro class.
This one's on fruits and vegetables.
It's inspired by the bulletproof diet by Dave Asprey.
Fruits and vegetables. That's one word. Fruits and vegetables. Dave Asprey tells us that we're told so often to eat fruit, fruits and vegetables that it's almost as if that phrase has become one word. He says we need to separate the two because fruits and vegetables are very, very different in their nutritional value for your body. He says they're about as different as fish and bicycles. It's about how much they have in common. And he also references the fact that a lot of people call fruit nature's candy. He says, actually, fruit is more like candy than it is vegetables. High sugar content via fructose vis a vis vegetables, which have a very low sugar content and a ton of nutritional value. Micronutrients. We want to pay attention to fruits and vegetables. Two very, very separate things. If you've been combining them like one word, see what you can do to separate them and focus on the vegetables which the next micro class.
But I just love this idea.
Fruits and vegetables, they're not the same. And he jokingly says, Dave Asprey does that if you have an apple, right? You know the common saying is one apple a day keeps the doctor away, right? He says, well, you know, you might want to modify that and say, three apples per day keeps the doctor well paid. Although almost everyone talks about fruits as if they're universally beneficial, leading research, or I should say cutting edge research, is showing that that's just not the case. It's not unequivocally awesome. Dave Asprey's approach is limit your fructose to 25 grams a day, which is about two apples, rather than go nuts on fruits, will reduce your cravings. And for him, he weighed 300 pounds. He was working really hard to try to lose this weight. And he thinks that one of the prime reasons why he struggled so much was he was eating a ton of fruit. When he released, let go of that, he let go of the weight, lost.
100 pounds or something crazy like that.
And fruits played a surprisingly large role in that.
So think about that.
If you're eating a ton of fruits, see what you can do to swap it over to the veggie side of things.
Hope you enjoyed.
And let's enjoy our fruits and vegetables.
Rather than fruits and vegetables more soon. See you. Hey, guys, this is Brian. A lot of people don't know what I do beyond these YouTube videos. I put up. So I thought I'd give you a quick tour of our membership platform. Thousands of people have joined us already. 10 bucks a month get access to a ton of stuff that in addition to what I put up on YouTube for free. So the basic idea is you just watched a micro class. Hope you enjoyed that. I share. I just started doing these micro classes, but I Now share over 50 of these per month. We've shared dozens so far and it's basically a quick class on my absolute favorite stuff across the different domains of optimal living. Two to three maybe five minute little micro classes on how to optimize your life. In addition to that, you get access to every single one of our philosopher's notes. We now have over 250 philosopher's notes on some really, really good books. A lot of them in each one of them. You're familiar with the PNTV videos if you've watched many of those. But we also have PDFs and MP3s of our Philosopher's notes. So here's. Let's take a look at what a PDF looks like. This is an example of a Philosopher's note. It's a six page PDF where I basically share some of my favorite thoughts, riff on it, talk about how other teachers say the same things, and give you a nice playful kick in the butt to go out and apply the wisdom that is a philosopher's Note. I record that as an MP3 that you can download as well. And 250 of those, I produce 10 of those at least per month that I share with you in addition to the micro classes. And then you also get access to all of our old classes. We have the five day immersion reboot habits 101, confidence 101, getting stuff done 101, meditation 101, and then future classes including relationships 101, energy 101, purpose 101, biz, 101 goals 101, etc. So there you go. Really blessed to have some extraordinary support and I will share with you where you go to sign up. I'll put a link to this, but basically cruise on over here. You can sign up. And this is the kind of response we've gotten so far from our members. It's pretty neat. I've made more positive changes in my life. My brief membership, only three months so far, than I did through years of counseling. Yes. Brian Johnson, you rock star. Thank you very much. That's very kind of you. And I'm making huge strides in optimizing my life as a result of your philosopher's notes and optimal living classes. I spend $19 a month on my gym membership to take care of my body. A mere $10 a month on an optimal living membership is the biggest value invest investment I've ever made in my emotional, mental and spiritual health. Thank you for the incredible work you're doing to inspire us to be rock stars in our own lives. Unbelievably inspiring and humbling. In 24 hours, we received hundreds of extraordinary notes from members around the world. So there you go. That's a quick look at what we're up to. 10 bucks a month. Hope to astonish you. There you go.
