In this solo episode of the Zero Hunger Guide podcast, host Jorge Cruise introduces himself as the “Zero Hunger Guy” and outlines the show’s purpose: helping listeners overcome sugar, carb, and salty‑snack addiction. He frames sugar as a narcotic‑like substance, claims it can be more addictive than hard drugs, and shares his personal history as a former “sugarholic.” Cruise highlights his credibility – multiple books (including the recent Cruise Control on intermittent fasting), a feature in Oprah’s magazine, and a New York Times bestseller (The 100). He promotes episode 125 with his mentor Mark Sisson, describing Sisson’s ancestral‑nutrition perspective that looks back 8,000 years to hunter‑gatherer diets. Cruise then presents his “Zero Hunger Plan” and “Zero Hunger Water” recipe, asserting that users can lose up to two pounds per day. He showcases a client success story (Sandy, who lost over 100 lb) and mentions recent magazine coverage (Woman’s World, First Woman). The episode ends with multiple calls to action: subscribe on Apple, Spotify, Google, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook; visit zerohungerguy.com; and email him for questions.
Chapters
Happy Monday, I'm Jorge Cruise. What's going on, guys? Happy Monday, it's the last Monday of the month, it's April 26th. I'm known as the Zero Hunger Guy. That's kind of what I've been known as now for the last year, year and a half. And I'm super happy you're here on the show here with me. This podcast has really become the number one podcast to help people overcome their addiction to sugar, carbs, and salty snack foods. And I really emphasize the word addiction because people have now talked about how sugar acts like a narcotic and can be more addictive than hard drugs like heroin. And so if you have trouble quitting sugar, you're at the right place because I used to be a sugarholic. I wrote a ton of books, there they are, years ago, not that many years ago. I wrote one 3 years ago, it was my last one called Cruise Control, it was about intermittent fasting. But I'm known for helping people overcome this. I was discovered by Oprah Winfrey, you guys know that, she had me in her magazine. The Champion for Guide to Life. So I'm super honored always to have Oprah's support. And I'll tell you, if you're here right now and you want to get control of your hunger and stop overeating because you have belly fat, you have inflammation, you feel tired, you're like me, you're in a stage of life where you're 50, I just turned 50 last month, and you feel tired, you feel old, I can tell you I used to be there. I can totally relate to you. And so what the podcast, what the Zero Hunger Guide podcast is all about, is about giving you tools strategies to turn off that hunger so you don't overeat and you have control of what you eat, when you eat, and you also have insights on what the heck to eat. Because I'll tell you, it is so complicated. You look at the food pyramid that we have in today's world, the base of it is based on grains and carbs. And so what I want to give you today on this Monday is a really simple piece of advice. I want you to go to my podcast. You can go to zerohungerguy.com. You can go to Apple, You can go to Spotify, you can go to Google, it's everywhere. And look at episode 125, this is it right here, episode 125, with this very sexy 67-year-old man. He's my mentor, Mark Sisson, and he does wear shirts, although I put one on here because he has a rockstar body for a 67-year-old young man. He is redefining aging. He is a New York Times bestselling author. He has a new book, and I sat down with him not that long ago. To talk about his nutritional strategies. And he gave me, I think, probably the best insight on what to be eating. It's literally a human nutrition course on nutrition. And it goes back in time 8,000 years to when we were all very simple people. And he'll tell you, and this is based on science, this is based on history, this is based on anthropology, that as a species, as humans, we did not have pastures where we were growing grains and wheat was not something common, corn was not common. It was all wild. And what we ate were— we were hunters-gatherers. We ate animals and we ate bugs and snails and toads and all these kind of things. That's what we gathered were animals, little ones we could catch, worms we could eat. We would hunt animals, big animals, and eat their meat and probably most of their organs from liver to heart, all that. And you may be thinking, ugh, isn't that what's destroying our planet? That's what's going to give me heart disease. Well, you're going to learn that a lot of what we have been taught by human experts in nutrition— and, you know, I'm a trainer, I'm a nutritionist— but I'll tell you, everything we've learned is wrong. And over the last couple of months, over the last year, before even COVID started, I was trying to take care of my health as I got closer to 50. I was struggling with a lot of issues— sugar addiction, even alcohol. I was trying to not overdrink. And I, as we all did during COVID I think we overate and we overdrank and we gained the COVID 30, I think is what people are calling it now. And if that sounds like someone you know, I don't know who that may be, maybe you, you're at the right show because this podcast is gonna give you the tools, the support, and I think the positive energy to understand that you're not alone, that it's not your fault, and that if you wanna switch it and turn it all around, you can. You can drop up to 2 pounds each day using my Zero Hunger Plan. And what I would encourage you to do is, as much as I wanna tell you to try my recipe, my Zero Hunger Water recipe, which you can check out for free, it's been in First Woman magazine, it's gonna be in this week's week's, I'm sorry, it's this week's First Woman magazine. It says May 17th on the COVID but it's out early. It's in every grocery store in the country. If you didn't see this, do I have it here to show you? We were in a magazine cover, stand by, of Woman's World magazine, guys. Sorry, I'm off camera here. But I had a client on there as well that, Sandy's her name, I'm back. This is this, and you may have seen this, Drop 2 Pounds Each Day. This is Sandy. There's Sandy. Uh, she lost 93 pounds as the COVID now over 100 or at 100. And whether you pick up Woman's World back then, that was the Super Bowl issue this year, 2021, or you pick up this new issue of First Woman magazine— I don't have the physical to show you, I'm going to be interviewing Julie, my client who is featured in the article— I can tell you this: you can lose the weight, but you got to get control of your hunger. And I can tell you the number one thing you got to stop overeating is sugar. I wrote a book, number one New York Times bestseller, this one called The 100, which taught you how to not overeat more than 100 sugar calories in a day. And it's so important not to overdo it. And it's hidden sugars, orange juice you got to avoid, things like that. So you'd be like, what? I won't have a Coca-Cola, but I can't have, I can't have an orange, a banana? Well, you're going to find out why that may not be what our ancestors did if you listen to episode 125 with Mark Sisson. It's right here. Link is in bio. Go to zerohungerguy.com on Apple, Spotify.
