we start to understand that the food company is not focused on our health the
foods that they're selling to us are addictive by design scientists working
in labs and then testing it on people to see that which one would you not be able
to put down which one would you finish the whole bag which one would you have
to run back to store and buy more hello everyone welcome to Mind Blowing Health
these videos is because I want everyone to understand that's your physical and
mental health come together to create that overall sense of well-being if you
find these kind of videos helpful please consider subscribing we need to
understand that is the food companies job to get us to buy foods and I'm
putting foods and air quotes here to get us to buy these processed chemicals that
they call food to eat rather than eating whole foods so rather than going to the
grocery and buying some meat and some veg and going home and cooking a meal
I'm going to the grocery store and I'm buying a box of something or a bag of
something that I'm gonna eat instead of whole food we need to understand this as
a business and the benefit is not for me right I'm not the one benefiting from
this although at the time of doing those kind of foods I thought I was and I was
doing that to you later food companies add chemicals and
manipulate the fat sugar salt ratios of foods to make them hyper palatable and
what that really means is that when you put it in your mouth the reaction that's
your brain and your taste buds have together
is so intense that you want to eat it over and over and over again I remember
this when I think about chocolate or how I used to react to chocolate I should
say wow I chased chocolate I mean I chased it you know and I think that
especially when you're talking about chocolate that has other things in it so
now we have chocolate and maybe there's caramel and maybe there's nuts
so that salt and sweet going on it to me I look back on that
and I don't understand how I didn't realize that I was being manipulated
food companies are trying their best to get you and I to spend our money on
processed foods when it comes to the nutritional value of these foods and
again inter quotes the reason that I'm so convinced that this is about
purchases rather than about our health is that food companies will actively
deceive consumers when it comes to what is in the product whether we're talking
about the nutritional label where they are allowed to put zero carbohydrates
when in actuality it's point six which they're allowed to do for fat as well
they can put zero when it's point six the fact that they're allowed to call
sugar by different names to try to confuse people and I think we've become
more discerning now and we know some of the names for sugar like we can tell
that anything that ends in Oz is a sugar and we can tell that cane sugar isn't
better for you than just sugar but I'm saying we can just because some of us
know that doesn't mean that there aren't others of us that see pure cane sugar
and think oh wow that's better than regular table sugar it's the same I feel
like what food companies do is manipulative and allows us to have this
false sense of we're doing something better for ourselves because well I
didn't need the chocolate bar I ate a sandwich with this whole-grain bread not
realizing that that whole-grain bread actually and the chocolate bar have the
same amount of sugar in them so affected my body the same way because your body
behaves a certain way when it comes into contact with carbs and we need to
understand that carbohydrates break down in our body a certain way and then get
used a certain way so from my body an apple or chocolate bar once it's inside
and being utilized it's the same when we look at the history of soda I think what
the food companies have been up to becomes so apparent and so that's the
example that I want to use right now because going back in history
coca-cola was called coca-cola because there was cocaine in it is something
that we all know eventually we realized that cocaine was addictive and it was
taken out and so now coca-cola had to find a way to get people to continue to
drink their product knowing that they were no longer addicted to the coke and
so let's pretend that they didn't know but what did they turn around and do
they turned around and said well we can't be cocaine in any longer well
we're gonna put sugar and caffeine in it well caffeine is addictive and so sugar
so we took out one addictive substance I replaced with something else and then
over the course of years as we've learned that sugar is not great for our
health that sure was causing us to get to
causing so many people to be overweight and co and we asked coke maybe to take
the sugar out what do they do they made a diet version with aspartame which we
know causes cancer again and it's still being sold its aspartame is still in
many products even though we know aspartame causes cancer my point being
when you look at the trajectory of some of the companies that we're dealing with
when you look at the the products that have heart check marks on them even
though they're very high in carbohydrates and we know that
carbohydrates are related to heart disease when you look at the products
that are being sold to us as healthy when they actually are not we start to
understand that the food company is not focused on our health and actually
what's even more apparent is that the foods that they're selling to us are
addictive by design extra sugar in them scientists working in labs finding that
correct combination of foods and then testing it on people to see that which
one would you not be able to put down which one would you finish the whole bag
which one would you have to run back to store and buy more this is what they're
trying to figure out so that they can keep us purchasing their products I want
us all think about the fact that way back when when grandma would make us her
special nut fudge cookies that we all loved or whatever your grandmother's
specialty was and we would be so happy when it was our birthday or Christmas
Easter or some one of those times of year where we know grandma's gonna make
the cookies and we would we would eat them and we would love them and it was
delicious and guess what grandma wasn't trying to get us addicted to cookies pay
attention what was happening there on special occasions grandma would make
that special something that she knew you guys would love and we would eat them
and we would love them and then they wouldn't show up again for months
because grandma was making us a treat we need to be careful food companies are
not making you treats they're making you foods that they want you to treat us
foods and eat on a regular daily basis and if you take your treats and make
them foods they're now the staples of your diet and what happens if treats
become the staple of your diet well now we're building our body based
on junk food your muscles and all your internal organs are being based on junk
food that's what's fueling and that's what's building your body the incomplete
proteins that we are getting from processed foods rather than eating whole
animal meats and products to build our body we're using incomplete proteins we
are using incomplete fats to beaut build and fuel our body I really need you to
stop and think about what that means for your health in the years to come we
already seen the results of it right how many of us live with constant
inflammation constant body pain how many of us have no energy and can barely get
out of bed in the morning to go to work and then we're dying by the time again
how many of us are living the repercussions of not eating Whole Foods
like we're supposed to and why is it happening right why are we eating only
those things well we might eat a regular meal one time a day and then the rest of
our day is full of these foods why why is that happening to us because
carbohydrates sugar is extremely addictive and if we
don't understand that piece of information the food companies
understand it but if us people as individuals don't allow ourselves to
understand a piece of information we will contain
you to allow ourselves to eat foods that are inappropriate that are not building
a good body and that are harming us I know I shouldn't be surprised that we're
still eating this way I was I was eating this way not too long ago and I
shouldn't be surprised because there are a subset of people walking around who
absolutely know that carbohydrates are not good for them who absolutely know
that we should be minimizing our carbohydrates and yet we'll still buy a
chocolate bar we'll still buy a milkshake we'll still
eat up make dairy Donald Queen what liquor we'll still eat a fast-food
restaurant there's a subset of people who are gonna do that because they don't
see the immediate problem this is gonna hit me 20 years from now
why am I gonna worry about it now and when I'm trying to help everybody
understand is that when it hits you 20 years from now oh wow are you gonna wish
you worried about it today because remember
cigarette smoking hits you 20 30 years from now and when it does it's
horrendous when it does it's treatments and cancer and right emphysema and all
these negative things and sugar is the same thing when it hits you 20 years
from now it's not as easy to bounce back from why we need to care about this is
that it will hit you 20 years from now and it's going to hurt why wait for that
to happen see people still buy cigarettes today and people are going to
keep buying chocolate bars today it's my job to give you guys this information so
if I can help one person put down the junk food and go towards healthier food
then that's one person who's not gonna have to live that horrible negative of
diabetes possibly or heart disease possibly or Alzheimer's possibly or at
the many myriad of other negatives that we can live because we're eating too
many carbohydrates and you know what I said 20 30 years from now it's not 20 30
years for now for everyone remember every person is different we have young
children today who are well on their way to negative life situations already
overweight and their three four years old
obese some of them by the time they're 7 8 9 10 and going into their future
struggling because adults parents are not aware that is the carbohydrates
making them fat not the fact they don't run around
enough they are running around their kids that's what they do
it's the carbohydrates that's doing this to them so I do say for most people is
give me 20 30 years down the road but for some of us unfortunately it hits us
much sooner look at your children pay attention to them are they doing well
because if they're not you do the things that you need to do to help them to do
better you know what's brutal is that not
everything sold in grocery stores is healthy and the worst part is that some
of the things that are sold in stores for us to consume are being sold with
the government fully knowing that these are dangerous products and they
shouldn't be sold and you know what it's not everybody who would chase that food
if it wasn't readily available it's not everybody who would chase cigarettes if
they were not readily available it's not everybody who would chase alcohol was
not readily available sure there are some people who would chase it the same
way there are people who chase drugs but it's not everybody that would chase it
however when something is endorsed and putting it on a shelf in a grocery store
is endorsing it when something is endorsed guess what we will go in to
consume it because well it's there and it must be healthy right and that's
where I'm putting this out there for everyone to think about that's not true
we know that alcohol has a negative effect on many people we know
carbohydrates has a negative effect on many people I would even say there to
say carbohydrates and alcohol have a negative effect on everyone but because
everyone doesn't drink daily we don't see that negative effect right because
most people have figured out to keep alcohol as a treat for occasional
occasions and we haven't figured that out you're with with carbohydrates and
so most people do not have a problem with alcohol because the problems with
alcohol happened years ago and we figured it out this is our time to
figure out carbohydrates when I began my keto lifestyle I'll tell you that I did
try to find all the replacements for all the things that I used to eat and
honestly in my head I really felt like if I didn't find these things how could
I possibly do this lifestyle I mean it just it didn't make sense to me
but you know what I wish I had someone like me to point something out that's so
important now that I know it if that lifestyle that was behind me got me to
the place where I was 70 pounds overweight with all the working out and
exercising I wouldn't say working out cuz I didn't
work out like on the gym but like all the exercise that I did because I
longboard ski snowboard but just bicycle like every sport you could think of I
did and was still 70 pounds overweight if someone would have told me and if I
would have known that it was the sugar do of course which is exactly what
happened as soon as I knew it was the sugar my weight normalized but I was
doing what you were doing I was trying to keep that lifestyle but yet lose
weight and it took a little bit for me to figure out you know what it's one or
the other if I'm gonna live a healthy life then I need to put down these foods
that cause me to be fat in the first place and I did and you can too but it's
about recognizing what you actually want do you want easy or do you want health
because I was the other problem that I had I hate cooking I hate it I still
hate it but you know what I hate feeling sick more so today I cook whereas before
I didn't what is it that you actually want I wanted my health enough that I've
started cooking and I cook daily I don't have to cook daily but I do because I
realized that by cooking daily I could make sure that what I'm eating is on
track because I'm holding myself accountable to the food that's gonna
fuel and build my body and I'm willing to do that daily because I do work on
myself and my helping happiness daily my history of seeking sugary quick meals
and sugary I'm saying sugary I know they're sugary now they taste the same
to me savory to me at the time you think about a chicken pot pie that savory
you're thinking about pizza it tastes more savory but they're also sugary so
chasing quick easy meals put me in a bad situation
and changing that led to no more inflammation no more joint pains no more
back pains regulated my weight that I've lost 70 pounds that I was carrying extra
and you know what I loved me before at the heavier weight
I love me today now it this way but I'll tell you something not living in
constant pain is a real benefit it's a plus a plus that I won't give away how
are you gonna make your decisions about the food you're gonna buy what are you
gonna do to help your family to make better choices about the food that
they're eating I wish I would have known this years ago because you know what my
daughter knows that you don't have any junk food or candy before her noon
because I taught her that from since she could walk no junk food before a noon
walks Eve since she was 4 years old that's when she started eating junk food
not before noon and yes guess what I wish I was able to also teach her keep
your carbohydrates low because if I would have taught heard that from four
years old she'd be on it right now I'm telling you
guys so that you can tell your children I'm telling you guys so you can tell it
to yourself let's do better wellness warriors prioritize health over
taste so be a wellness warrior I really hope you guys found this video helpful
