yeah i did atkins man i don't know and maybe like my dad kind of fat shaming us was good in
a way because like me and my mom did every diet known to man and it was like actually something
we kind of bonded over uh we did i did atkins i think by myself and that's when like we did south
beach and i remember the big treat with being on the south beach diet was like ricotta cheese with
cocoa dust like cocoa powder and they called it like called it like chocolate cheese which
sounds disgusting but that was like the sweet treat because i think they're basically like a
low carb thing too so i did atkins did south beach i did the master cleanse you guys remember the
master cleanse like robin from howard stern made this popular and i think also beyonce did it too
where for 28 days you drink nothing but it's like fresh squeezed lemon juice with cayenne pepper
and grade b maple syrup in like filtered water and you that's all you drink you just drink that
and i was amazed i did it for well over a month i think it did it for like 36 days or something
and um i don't think i lost i think i lost as as much weight as doing keto you know
cleanses are good sometimes but like you don't need to do it for 36 days it got to the point
where like i would want to smell people's food it's weird but it is a nice uh it is a nice
challenge like once you you know all you're all you're doing is drinking this cleanse
and it's like you realize how much of your of your like social like how much of your friendships are
kind of based on like eating or how much of your social activities are based on eating and
like wow when i'm nervous i always go for this kind of a snack like you learn a lot about
yourself when you go on a cleanse because you just don't have food to go to when you're feeling your
feelings you're like oh [ __ ] i have to deal with my feelings and you end up just cleaning a lot so
yeah master cleanse was intense my mom also did something called the balls diet i'm gonna look
this up and see if this is still a thing this is wildest diet she was on she did this for years
oh my goodness
we did every diet ah okay my mom did something called the balls diet where she would go to a
place and they put these metal balls behind her ears i'm not even joking she had these metal balls
behind her ears and she it was a pressure point on her ear and she had to like she would like rub
the balls on the back of her ears and i guess it would i don't know kill your hunger or something
but then she also got to eat froyo so i didn't understand that diet
uh froyo actually sounds good right now there have been many ways to lose
weight okay one of the most fascinating um assertions with his origins in japan
is a form of acupuncture that uses tiny balls in or behind the eel ears rather than needles
wow i didn't know there was such asian history to this
in 1991 junzo kokubo a doctor of acupuncture published a new auricular acupressure treatment
for smoking or overweight problems in a japanese acupuncture journal kokubo said he discovered
appetite pressure points in the ears yeah it was like right behind her ears
and then she would take the balls off and they would be like bloody and i was like ugh mom
what are you doing he acknowledged that many people fear needles and that needles or thumbtacks
in the ears could cause discomfort while sleeping or using the telephone his solution tiny
balls a japanese guy thinking about tiny balls oh my god who knew
okay yeah transparent tape to place one millimeter steel balls over the pressure points in the ears
he used a point in the fossa of and words antihelius b and the point of conscious in
both ears whenever a patient this is literally what my mom did whenever a patient felt hungry
he or she pressed on the balls and the craving for food disappeared holy [ __ ] this is intense
kukubo said he successfully detested his discovery on 45 patients he said using these balls also
suppressed anxiety stress and a craving to smoke well that's interesting i like that part of it
wow tiny silver balls that's exactly what she did
when you get hungry press on the balls for 10 seconds she would rub her balls
patients are able to lose six to eight pounds per month
you can buy kits of supplies that last from i haven't heard
anybody doing this diet but her that's funny did he use the balls to this guy
acupuncture balls yeah
wow alleviate hunger that almost seems like torture like if you're hungry you're hungry
there's a difference between like acknowledging i'm actually hungry
and being like oh i'm anxious i'm weird i'm stressed i'm gonna eat
like if you're feeling stressed yeah do the balls but if you're like i'm hungry ah make it go away
that was intense so yeah the balls diet she did um yeah i just remember she would have
the balls and then she would she could go get froyo we would go get froyo and she said it's
okay it's on the balls diet i'd be like really yeah did you guys do any crazy wacky fun diets
so yeah fasting is still the best diet yeah fasting is good every once in a while
well [ __ ] self-control yeah

something like that okay good idea diesel i'll just work out in the mornings like i plan to

oh my god really oh my god gamer award went on a date with a girl who brought a food scale to the
restaurant that's not good you should be able to eyeball something or like order something
order a couple of appetizers if you can't um
