What you want to do really is find out what you can get away with. You know, if you're like play to your natural advantages. So for me I can run marathons, but I'm a lot better at short distances, right? Just like I carry more muscle more easily. So it makes more sense for me to do a couple squats and put on a bunch of muscle than try to run 30 miles a day and try to get as skinny as possible. So do a similar thing with your diet. I'm allergic to or at least I have problems with olives, which sucks. But that just means that I can Eat every other food, you know what I mean? So, like, find those things that you can't get away with. Take those out. So for a lot of people, that is dairy. But, like, my brother, for instance, always had a problem with. With the dairy that we would get at home. The milk, the yogurt, the whatever. And it wasn't until he worked on his organic farm when he was, like, fresh out of college, that he started eating fermented, raw dairy, like cheeses that they made and yogurts, and also even the heavy cream and the milk. He could drink it without any of the problems that he had from being lactose intolerant, getting pasteurized milk from the store. So there's something to be said for trying out the real stuff, the best. What dairy really should be, which is not basically what what I described, that horror film of the industrial farms is not where you want your dairy to come from, because that stuff's straight up poison, you know?

Yeah, man, it's tough because I love dairy, but sometimes I feel like it affects me, and other times I feel like it doesn't. So maybe it just depends on the source I'm getting it from.

Exactly.

Like you said, and making sure it's not from, like, the gas station, you know.

Cheez Whiz is not the same. Exactly, you know, like. Like a fine brie from your local farm. It's just. It's a shame. And that's one of the other things I try to outline in the book, is that somewhere along the line we went from having, you know, if anyone's seen the Hobbit, all the foods that are, like, locked up in his little treasure chest of the best foods on Earth, the cheeses, the cured meats and all that, all of those delicious, like, natural foods that actually were from farms have been replaced by crap that has the same name. So, like, you go out and get cheese, you're not really sure what you're getting unless you look really hard for the right stuff.

Interesting. You basically give the secret to fat loss in one sentence in the book. And you say, stay away from sugar and processed grains, especially in the morning. Now, what do you mean by. Is this all sugar? Is this no fruit as well, or what does that mean?

Fruit is something that is essentially nature's candy. And a lot of animals, including humans back in the day, would use fruit, the enormous amount of it that usually came in the fall, as a way to fatten up before winter when it got cold. And also things like apples will keep for a long time, which the industry has started to use against us. Um, but basically fruit is something that should be seen as a treat or something that you use to flavor like a Snickers bar that's straight from a garden. Right. Like you can. And once you get your palate back, essentially most of us have blasted our palates with industrial salt and chemical flavorings and stuff like that. So if you're addicted to Diet Coke, for instance, your palate might not be able to notice right now the difference between, you know, a regular strawberry and one that's super fresh and really good. But I can say that after doing this for a few years and really becoming a foodie in a lot of ways, once you get away from that, basically the processed food that's a napalm bomb for your palate, you really want to. You're encouraged to stick to like a fresh apple tastes so much better to me than a bite of a cake that might be served at someone's office party or someone's birthday. It's like when you really learn to appreciate fresh foods, things can taste so much better than you're used to. And so you get satisfied on things that you don't expect.
