In this solo episode of the Zero Hunger Guide podcast (recorded August 5 2021), host Jorge Cruise introduces his flagship "Zero Hunger Water" electrolyte blend and outlines the core components of his Zero Hunger Plan – a keto‑style diet combined with intermittent fasting. He argues that while exercise is valuable for mental health, bone strength, and aesthetic toning, it is not an effective primary tool for weight loss; you cannot out‑train a poor diet. Cruise uses anecdotes (e.g., a Steve Harvey demonstration of calories burned rowing) and references to celebrity clients (Oprah, Khloé Kardashian) to bolster his authority. The episode includes sponsor promotions for Elemental Labs (the on‑the‑go version of Zero Hunger Water) and Primal Kitchen (avocado‑oil‑based lemon chipotle mayo), emphasizing their role in hunger suppression and healthy‑fat intake. Throughout, he dispels common myths (e.g., the necessity of counting calories or consuming fiber) and urges listeners to focus on diet quality, fasting, and using exercise solely for mental‑well‑being and strength.

Happy Thursday, it's August 5th. I'm Jorge Cruise and welcome to the Zero Hunger Guide podcast. I'm thrilled you're here. Welcome. This show is my place to share with you what I think is the most effective way to turn off hunger so you can lose up to 25 belly inches. I've been doing this for over 20 years. I'm an author. I've written over 13 number one New York Times diet books. I've worked with people like Oprah, Khloe Kardashian, and the reason people like that work with me is, is I get results. And, and I'm honored you're here on the show with me, guys. We've been doing a lot of rebooting of the podcast, and what it comes down to after all your emails is starting today we are starting with step 1 with what I think is the culmination of my entire career called Zero Hunger Water, which corrects a mineral imbalance. And it's not drinking water, it's drinking the right water. It's called Zero Hunger Water. That paired with a keto diet, guys, is the secret to dropping up to 20 5 belly inches and keeping it off forever. A lot of people think I don't like plant-based nutrition. That's not true. There are certain things I like. We're going to talk about that on the show as well. Today's podcast is really about dispelling the number 1 myth on Reddit. And Reddit is this place a lot of young people— I'm on there, I'm 50— so a lot of people at any age are getting information. And guess what I saw this week? The only place to find stuff on losing it— that's the category, that's weight loss, losing it— is under exercise. And I was like, what? It's 2021, and people in today's modern world still think that you can out-train a poor diet, and you cannot. So today we're gonna talk about why exercise is awesome. It's amazing. It's to be done daily for mental health and strengthen your body, whether that's stronger bones or stronger biceps or prettier butt Whatever it is, your reason, it's for toning and firming. For me, mental health is everything. But it's not for weight loss, guys. So hear me on this. Today we're gonna talk about why this does not work and why if you are exercising to lose weight, you are gonna fail. It's a waste of time. Fitness begins in the kitchen, guys. So all that on today's show. Before we get into it though, I wanna thank our sponsors. These people have been with us since the very beginning. A big shout out and thank you to Elemental Labs.

Love Primal Kitchen because as you guys know, I'm a huge, huge fan of using healthy fats to turn off hunger. I put a dollop of Primal Kitchen's Lemon Chipotle Mayo on my steak or chicken or fish every single day. Why? Well, it's made with avocado oil, and avocado oil is a fruit, right? But it's the healthiest fat that you can use to cook with. You can put it on food. Real avocados are great too, but this is amazing. You get things You can get this product almost anywhere, but if you go to their website, primalkitchen.com/myname, Jorge Cruise, J-O-R-G-E C-R-U-I-S-E, you get a free bottle of their lemon chipotle mayo that is phenomenal. It's to die for. It's so, so good. You put a dollop or two on your steak. You don't have to count calories on the Zero Hunger Plan, guys, ever. That is another myth we'll dispel in one of these shows. But it's delicious. And Mark created this, Mark Sisson. He's been a friend of mine and a mentor for over 17 years. He's in literally the best shape for anyone in their 60s. He's 67 years young. Google search Mark Sisson, you're gonna see a man with a six-pack, with some beautiful muscles. His wife is gorgeous. There's a picture I love on Instagram of him and her in Mykonos, literally in bathing suits, and they look like they're in their early 30s. They're amazing. This is one of the secrets to turning off hunger so you can fast longer, is using healthy fats when you do eat. So check it out, primalkitchen.com/jorgecruise. All right, with that said, guys, let's get into this myth about exercise and how exercise can help you lose it, as Reddit says, lose it. You can lose your mind because if you use it with that intention, you're never going to lose the weight. You, you listen to me on this, you cannot out-train a poor diet. You just cannot do that. It's a waste of time to burn off— I did this once with Steve Harvey on his show, the funniest thing. I'll dig up a picture where Steve was was trying to show how many times you'd have to row to burn off 1 scoop of ice cream. It was basically like 3 hours to burn off a half a cup of ice cream. It's insane. So if you were sitting down eating a bowl of pasta, having 2 glasses of wine, bread and butter, the butter's okay, but bread, pasta, and the wine, it's all carbs that turn into sugar, which cause you to gain belly fat because your insulin goes up. Then it takes you hours, it would take you probably 8 to 10 hours, maybe more, to burn that off. It's insane. It's a waste of your life. The best way to do it is just to not eat sugar and carbs. You don't need it. We're going to dismiss the, the fiber myth. I know a lot of people like, oh, but I need my fiber. You don't. I've talked to Dr. Paul Saladino on the podcast here several times about how that's a myth. We're not going to talk about that today, guys, but hear me on this. Here's why you want to exercise. So go work out because I'm going to the gym right now for mental Health, serotonin, dopamine is critical. Hear me on that. It's gonna get you into a positive state of mind. I'm someone who struggled with that, and I can tell you exercise is like the most powerful form of antidepressant. That is why you exercise. Now, if you want strong bones, you want a nice booty, you want some nice biceps, you wanna feel strong, go to the gym, exercise. But it can be a walk, doesn't have to be a gym. Go for a walk, do movement. Movement is how you feel good, guys. It's mental health. That's all I have to say on that. You gotta do it, do it. If you have questions, guys, please email me. It's Thursday. I'm gonna get to your emails before the weekend. Jorge, J-O-R-G-E, @zerohungerguy.com. Thank you for your emails yesterday. It really gave me today's insight to focus in on this because we have to talk about the topics that make you get results. And remember, my goal for this podcast for you listening or watching is that you can drop belly inches, up to 25. Now, if you have 2 belly inches, good for you. That's probably like 16 pounds. Every inch of belly fat is about 8 pounds. With my method, I've helped people lose hundreds of pounds. That's why I worked with Khloe Kardashian on Revenge Body. That's why I've worked with Oprah and her magazine to help people who can't lose the weight lose it. So I want you to do this, guys. You can do it.
