Hello everyone, good morning. So I got a message they put channel five on the other night because it was, doctor Amir Khan, his name is, who was doing a, documentary on, you know, why you need to cut out sugar completely and lose weight. That's what the title was whatever it is okay. Now this number of a bloke okay, don't care if he's doctor he's using his doctor name to spread the wrong message. He is saying he binge ate sugar for four weeks.

Okay, put on two kilograms, I believe two or three kilograms in four weeks. Okay, so if we work that out, okay, that is so two is 4.4 pounds in 40, so you put a pound on a week which means he overrate over his maintenance by 3,500 calories a week. Right? By eating most foods that are higher than sugar of course it's easier to consume more calories. Now he was eating something like 42 teaspoons of sugar a week, a day or something ridiculous.

Gets the end of week four, right? He's like, ah, yeah, feel shit, whatever. He goes to the doctor, gets his blood test done. Guess what happens? The blood tests come back fine and you can tell he's shocked he did not want this information.

You can even tell the doctor sitting down is trying to manipulate this information and is saying, oh yeah, but for other people, you know, you work out for other people, you know, it'd be different. They'd be basically fucking dying. That's what they want get a message of. So they wanted that result to be really bad. Okay?

But it wasn't. So think about it as he binge ate sugar for four weeks. He overate his calories. He put on two kilos of fat. Okay?

The results didn't come back terrible. He then goes, oh, yeah. But now I feel lethargic. Yeah. No shit, mate.

You're eating junk food. Okay? You're overeating your calories. You're eating junk food. You're putting weight on.

You're not moving enough. You put you know, your intake is high. Your movement is is is not high enough. You're too low, you feel shit because you're just, you know, eating junk food, you're having any, like, whole grains and vegetables and stuff like that. So now he's saying, yeah, it's really bad but I feel shit.

Okay? He's got spots breaking or whatever. Then he goes then his answer, then his view of this is he now his conclusion is now we must cut out all sugar. So his conclusion from binge eating sugar for four weeks and his blood results are fine, but he feels a bit shit and he's put weight on his overeating his calories is now that we have to go to the other extreme and cut out sugar completely to lose weight. Right?

He was eating carrot. The guy is full of himself. He was literally every time he does it, he was at a vlog of him talking to the camera because he loves himself so much and he was like, yeah, I'm eating a carrot. Oh my date mate so now you're telling people to fucking eat a carrot as a meal in work. Are you like you've gone from eating loads of food high in fat as well not just sugar okay.

You've overeaten your calories mate that's what you've done. You've overeaten on fat, overeaten on sugar. That's what's happened. Okay. Now it comes to the time where you're gonna you're literally doing a binge diet where you're eating flipping carrots.

Literally one carrot in Welsh carrot. The word for carrot is moron. That's exactly what he is, a moron. So he does that. Right?

It gets worse. The studies are clear. Right? Sugar is not addictive. Edinburgh University, Cambridge University, so many studies.

Sugar is not addictive. From what we know right now, it's not addictive. K. As much as we love eating sugary snacks, we're not turning into heroin addicts and, like, you know, sitting in the corner going pass me the sugar or I'm gonna die. We don't do that.

We just really like sugar. Right? We love it. We like it. And sugar is not just sugar, it's sugar and fat in combination that cause our brain to go mental because back in the day, hunter gatherer days, when you found a food source that was high in sugar and fat that means calorie central and back in the day without calories was scarce.

Okay, so that's what the reward system goes nuts. Right. So, oh my god. So then he goes to this group session, right, where they obviously handpick people talk about their sugar problem. He then has a guy who runs his session saying that that session was like the similar to a session of crack cocaine users.

Like that is total bullshit. Like you cannot say that people who overeat on their food and think it got sugar addiction problem are like crack cocaine addicts. That's just a disgrace to say that because that's not fair when people actually have drug addiction. That drug addiction is a real The withdrawals from drugs, okay, leave people in states you don't even want to see like shaken. They are out of it.

They literally would do anything to get a drug. They will do anything on the streets. It's a real problem. It's not something that you could, you know, and then he's comparing it to Stan. That's exactly what he wants that guy to say.

Because he got then he even says the research isn't clear the sugar isn't is addictive, but I believe it is. Well, I don't care what you believe. What does the research peer reviewed data say? It says it's not addictive or there's nowhere near enough evidence to even claim remotely that it's addictive. Because it's hard like, I really like salmon.

I really, really like something is different. Okay. I really, really like cookies. Okay. I love cookies.

That's very different than saying I'm addicted to cookies. I'm not addicted to cookies because I'm not shaking now and I need a cookie right now. Okay so this, guys it really annoys me this stuff because it's so irresponsible. So all these millions who watch channel five right, who watch a show have gone right so he's eaten sugar, loads of it but he's fine which is okay, but then he says it's really bad because he's got no energy you know like spots. He put weight on because he ate loads of sugar, he put weight on because he overeat and calories it doesn't matter where they come from it's just easier to overeat on junk food anyway.

And then the way he felt way better after three days, he then went on oats and carrots, and then he said he felt way better. And and sugar sugar is similar to crack cocaine heroin, that's because that guy in the group said so. What messages are saying to people? That message is telling people the way for health is a bowl of oats and a fucking carrot every day, right, and to stay away from sugar at all costs because it's like heroin. Like of rights so every time someone now is gonna sit on the couch and they have some emotional feel a bit of comfort, I need something comfort eating and they eat a chocolate bar for example, know they're gonna think they're like a fucking crack cocaine user.

There's gonna be the similar results and this is just as bad that's what they say here and this stuff is dangerous stuff, very dangerous. Sugar in moderation is fine. Sugar even in binge eating quantities is on blood work is okay for a short duration of time. So if we really use our rational brains like we're meant to do, we're not animals, we're rational people. Right?

We are rational human beings. If we don't go crazy and binge eat on anything, it's like, you know, anything in way too much quantities is gonna be bad for us. Right? We know this, like, just not sugar, anything. You know, fruit is got sugar, natural sugar, fructose.

Right? But what's the message now? He hasn't even clarified that fructose and fruit has got is all sugar and it's good and we need fruit. He hasn't said that. No that's causing confusion but you're telling us to eat pieces of fruit a day.

That's what everyone else says but no sugar and that's gonna kill me. Oh my god. Another study, doctor, Mark Hobb, right, said about this one before. He did the Twinkies diet. He ate sugary sweets every three hours for ten weeks.

Okay? But he made sure he was in a calorie deficit. Okay? Ten weeks. The guy lost 27 pounds of fat.

Okay? Not only that, his bad cholesterol went down, his good cholesterol went up, his fat in the bloodstream went down, his body fat went down, everything improved. All his health markers improved because he went from an overweight BMI to within the ideal normal range as they say. Okay. So what he's saying from our is, guys I ate absolute shit for ten weeks, but I in a deficit.

I went from being overweight to being like not, know, know, call it normal weight. And my my my health markers have improved. But you know what he said after me because he's a responsible human being? He said, you know what, guys, I only did this to prove a point. But what I'll say is obviously you shouldn't eat sugary snacks every three hours.

That's not what I'm saying. But what we're saying is having a bit of sugar in your diet every day is not gonna kill you. It's not gonna turn you into an addict like a heroin addict. It's not gonna do that. It just doesn't do it.

It's not addictive. So don't be worried. Don't be scared of having that chocolate bar that you love. I love Snickers. Go to the shop, the corner shop by me.

Yeah. Ask him what does Scott order every day. Nearly every day, Oreo sandwich ice cream. Love it. Two forty calories.

Love it. Right? It's a delight for me. Want to fit into my macros. Happy days.

I'm healthy. I have my blood test done. Everything's always good. Pass some liver enzymes. Right?

Pass someone else. Okay? So, like, don't be don't be scared to eat these like I said about the comfort food stuff, the problem food. If we run away from the problem food, make them a bigger problem. We run away from sugar.

We make sugar a bigger problem. We build it up to this huge fearful dragon. It's like, sugar is this huge thing. We get scared of it. We think it's gonna kill us, we just we're in this conflict with sugar all time, and everything's got sugar in an Ailey.

Every little food we have, sugar, you know. Guys there's so much sugar in foods and fruits and chocolate bars and you know even like some like ready music or whatever like I don't know there's sugar, there's a lot of sugar and stuff okay. So when you listen to people like this twerp you're gonna think you're gonna create all these fears about these foods, but they shouldn't be fears to any foods. Okay? The foods we have out there, anything in moderation is fine.

Think like that. Moderately eaten foods that we love, hit our macros, make sure that we're not overindulging calorie wise. We are trying to get to our ideal weight for our height. It's important. It is.

To be at an ideal weight for a body to cope with. You know, you're too much for your height and you know, last BMI is based off. You know, you're really overweight for your height and you're putting all this pressure on your body moving more weight about of course it's going to cause problems. But we do it slowly and we do it in a way where we still eat the foods that are in our environment we still eat the foods that we see day to day we still eat the foods that we really like we still have our biscuit with a cup of tea okay, we still have that chocolate bar, we still have those fruits, we still have like whatever you like but we are more intelligent than these guys doing it. We're gonna say yeah I love it, I'm gonna have too much of it just like anything in life, I'll have some of that, but I'm not gonna have too much of it.

I'll have some of that, not too much of it. That's how we that is a it's a really simple message. That's my rant over. Sorry, guys. When I see stuff like that, it really annoys me because when people see the title of doctor, the trust there's trust in the title of doctor and he's actually disgraced doctors.

He do a lot of good work and other stuff, but in terms of this specific field, it's disgraceful that someone is utilizing his doctor title, right, to, to share such nonsense masjid. The problem with Guy's Gaur is he's so full of ego that he wants to be this celebrity doctor. He wants to be this big boy celebrity doctor. And you can tell with people it's all about ego because it's like they're always doing the vlog videos and always their face on camera, they love the sound of their voice and I'm bitching right now but it's people like this guy who will see other doctors get big time, make loads of money, they become TV doctors, they go on and you know there's a lot of this stuff going on and even though they do good work and other stuff doesn't mean they're allowed to then abuse the title they have to share misinformation just so they can be this ex person, the sugar hating guy, this ex guy. It's not good enough.

Especially as doctors shouldn't you be doing this. But anyway, I hope you, have a good day. Guys, back. Bring it back a second. You know, I'm done now.

You know, it's over. My rant is over. I wish you all to have a really good day. I want you to think moderation. Remember, remember the lessons.

Problem food's fine. We moderate them. Over time we get used to being in moderation to them. Okay? Have a good day.

Think of your one big thing. Get that done. Let's focus back. Let's bring the focus back down now. Same for me, what's my one big thing?

Let's get that going. Because if we start building momentum, Octagon two point o's around the corner, gonna be amazing. Start building slow. Doing the zoom sessions with Dino on mindset and stuff people saying, you know, I'm happy that you know, most people say the goal is fat loss, but I'm happy that a lot of people have not really taken the bait and done huge New Year's Resolution goals and trying to force the you know extreme measures in now to get results because everyone else is. Know forty percent of people on the call said that they're getting a lot of pressure from people to lose fat now.

It's a big number right and the studies are clear as well on the fact that you are the sum of the people you literally spend time with or listen to. So you will become more like other people than they become like you most cases. So if other people are now panicking trying to lose weight, detox, allergies, all this nonsense, right? And you're listening to this, you let it creep into your mind without protecting it. The chances are you might slip into those things and you go, ah, they're doing it, I'll do it.

That's what happens, memetic desire. So we don't want to fall into these traps and I'm glad to hear that most of our members are not. And please hold strong, take it slow this month, let's build momentum, get our one big things done, think of total health. When it comes to Octagon, we go, we try and make the most of that ten weeks, develop as total human beings and I can't wait to share the ideas we got for it. Well, the ideas, the things we're going to do for it.

Guys, I'm out. Enjoy your day. Smile. Don't worry. If doctor Amir Khan comes at me, he's fine.

That's not a boxer match, man. I'm done, guys. Ta da. See speak to you tomorrow.
