A short YouTube conversation (Vishen Lakhiani with another speaker) discussing perceived differences between American and European food/water and their effects on body weight and bloating. Lakhiani reports a consistent personal pattern: gaining about one pound per week while in the United States, despite eating similarly to his European diet, and losing weight when returning to Europe. The clip centers on first-person anecdotal evidence and sensory effects (bloating).

Every time I go to America, I dread that experience because in one week, I put on a pound. If I spend two weeks in the United States, even if I'm eating the exact same foods I'm eating here in Europe, I put on a pound a week. When I come back to Europe, I immediately start shedding weight. Here in Europe, I drink very little. I eat a ton of bread. I love carbs.
I love the pasta.
Here, I do not put on weight. As soon as I set foot in any state in the United States, I start getting bloated.
Well, you are surrounded by pesticides and herbicides at much higher levels. The water quality in the US Is lower. What's going on there is you're not actually putting on a pound of fat. You're putting on a pound of inflammation. It's hard to put a pound of fat on in one week. Your cells, instead of turning that air and food into electricity and heat, they were turning it into inflammation. And then as soon as you came back here and you cleared the toxins, then you felt better. One of the reasons that I can live in the US And I can be as lean and fit as I am is that I upregulated all my detox pathways so that I can handle the toxic environment that the government in the US Created for us.
