#127 - Counting calories, fiber, drugs?
27 Apr 2021 · 10 min
In this solo podcast episode dated April 27, 2021, Jorge Cruise (the "Zero Hunger Guy") delivers an enthusiastic promotional monologue outlining his Zero Hunger philosophy. He argues that traditional weight‑loss tactics—counting calories or points, high‑fiber volumetrics, and appetite‑suppressing drugs—are ineffective. Instead, he promotes his proprietary Zero Hunger Water, a mineral‑enhanced beverage that he claims curbs hunger for 2‑3 hours, enabling weight loss of up to two pounds per day without dieting or medication. Cruise references his extensive authorial credentials (13 New York Times best‑seller books) and introduces the digital Zero Hunger Plan (thezerohungerplan.com) launching soon. He highlights a recent interview with Dr. James (author of The Salt Fix), endorsements from Robb Wolf, and media coverage in First for Women/Woman’s World magazines featuring client transformations (e.g., Sandy’s 93‑lb loss, Julie’s 84‑lb loss). He urges listeners to subscribe to the podcast on Apple, Spotify, and Google, to follow his new YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook channels, and to help grow the audience to one million downloads. The episode serves as both a critique of conventional diet methods and a call‑to‑action to adopt the Zero Hunger system.

Happy Tuesday, everyone. It's Jorge Cruise. It's April 27th. I'm the Zero Hunger Guy. Welcome to my podcast, guys. I'm super excited you're here right now. I want to thank you all for joining my new YouTube channel where we're going to be putting the shows, the video version of the shows, excerpts of the best clips, and obviously these messages as well. These aren't actually episodes in the podcast. These are more like special videos that I do just for you. To kind of talk about the podcast. Obviously, the podcast comes out 3 times a week. It comes out on Tuesday, Thursday, as well as on Sunday. Tuesday, just so you know what Zero Hunger is all about, it's about understanding how to turn off the physical addiction to sugar, carbs, and overeating through what I call Zero Hunger Water. But it's also through this idea that everything we've learned about weight loss is totally wrong because Most of us have been told that we have to count calories. If it's not counting calories, it's understanding how many points you have to count, right? That's kind of the same. The other big option a lot of people do, this is what I used to do when I was overweight, I was 40 pounds overweight, was fiber, lots of fiber, you fill up. There's a system called volumetrics, which is a really interesting way to lose weight where you fill your stomach up with high-volume, low-calorie food. I can tell you that does not work. If anything, you're in the bathroom pooping all day and night. And it's a lot, it's a lot. And it does, and it just feeds hunger because 99% of the things that have fiber, I mean all things that have fiber, are carbs. So all you're eating is carbs all day, high fiber foods. And then for some of us, some people, I've worked with a lot of celebrities, there are people that unfortunately have to use medicines, medications to turn off hunger. And there are so many drugs out there that are allowed by the FDA that allow us to turn off hunger. And if you have an attention issue, some people use Adderall, and that turns off your hunger. You don't sleep and eat for days. So drugs don't work, fiber doesn't work, and counting calories or points does not work. So what does work? Well, if you know who I am, you know my name is on over 30 books right there. You can see some of them. For the last 20 years, for the last 2 decades, I've been an author. I've been a New York Times bestselling author 13 times, and The best books I've written have tried to break this question down, you know, and I think in today's world, uh, digital is supreme. As much as I love books, I'm still going to write a book coming out probably in 2 years on Zero Hunger Plan. But right now I have a digital plan called thezerohungerplan.com that I want to invite you to check out. We're going to be launching next month. Uh, that's not why I'm talking right now. What I want you to do is listen to an episode of the show I did with Dr. James He's the author of this book. This is episode 100— let me see here— 118. I'll show you the COVID in a minute. This book, The Salt Fix, and this man, Dr. James, is literally, in my opinion, the man who's changed my life tremendously. Because this book really talks about— if you see the subtitle there, it says, why the experts got it all wrong and how eating more might save your life. And it's like medicine, you know, and I really believe This book is everything. One of my dearest friends is Robb Wolf. He's also endorsing the book here. He says, "The Salt Fix provides the advice and program you need to add back the salts in the process of improving health and your waistline." So Robb Wolf, Dr. James, he's been on the show many times, but I would invite you to listen to episode— this is done March 14th, just this year, with Dr. James. Change Your Fuel, Stop Your Cravings.
