Good habits that stuck?

00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:12.439
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to One Good Question Friday's episode where

2
00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:15.400
we answer questions from y'all. If
you want to get involved, good company

3
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:18.600
discord dot com. It's a forum, it's a group. It's our community

4
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.440
only. You get exclusives on clothing, some discounts, early looks, and

5
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:25.399
I like my community and chance to
answer your question. So today the question

6
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:29.719
is from Dom. It says,
what's a habit slash lift that was necessary

7
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:35.240
for a certain diet program that has
just lingered and became your preference. Example,

8
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:38.079
I started drinking black coffee while I
fasted, and now I just drink

9
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:43.200
black coffee even though I'm not doing
intermitt infesting anymore. Okay, coffee is

10
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.280
a good one for me, I
would say, because I started really focusing

11
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:51.479
more on diet. So when I
started researching everything in two thousand and eight,

12
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:56.399
two thousand and nine about bodybuilding,
powerlifting, there was like Keto,

13
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.960
I think there was kind of a
Keto lingering, but it was very quiet.

14
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.240
It was a very small community.
And then there was just old school

15
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.480
eat telapia, eat rice, and
that's it. That's all the info you

16
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:10.200
had, or like the Mediterranean diet
and like Suzanne Summers, like the more

17
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:14.280
mainstream, which actually, in hindsight
was probably the better optionally, yeah,

18
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:18.400
more balanced general stuff, but it
was super it felt too commercial to be

19
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:21.959
good. Like Suzanne Summers made billions
off that, probably, but like her

20
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:25.439
info is actually not terrible, Like
she promoted kind of a Mediterranean diet,

21
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:29.680
you know, and so generally speaking
decent. But you know, I'm deep

22
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:34.560
in the dark meadhead stuff. So
I'd say I started drinking black coffee.

23
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:40.959
I don't even think i'd drank caffeine
or coffee, but I started drinking that

24
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:42.959
part of the keto life. Oh
yeah, so you'd wake up, you'd

25
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:47.439
do some bacon and eggs, a
black coffee with the butter or the cream.

26
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:53.760
So I did black coffee with some
cream, and then I just did

27
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:59.879
black coffee once I understood how calories
worked in like twenty ten, twenty eleven,

28
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:01.959
and to this day, I do
like a cappuccino. I talk about

29
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:07.000
it now, like I'll do a
cappuccino if it's for like pleasure, but

30
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:08.879
if on the regular day it's just
black coffee. Like this morning, I

31
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:15.159
bought a giant take home like cold
brew deal. I just pour that in

32
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:19.360
a cup and drink it as my
brain fuel at seven eight am and it's

33
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:23.800
just black. So I'd say that's
one of them. Intermitte fasting ish,

34
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:28.560
I would say, but that was
also my whole life, because like I've

35
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.319
had anxiety my whole life and I
didn't realize it as a kid what was

36
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:34.560
going on. But I would have
the craziest stomach aches from like six am

37
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.919
to like noon, and it was
all anxiety driven. Like I was late

38
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.080
for school a lot, Like I
didn't know if I had like ulcers.

39
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:43.280
My parents took me to the doctors. I felt like I had to shit,

40
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:45.199
but I didn't have to shit,
and I would just have the worst

41
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:49.240
pain. And it's very likely that's
just like where my anxiety was sitting.

42
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:52.000
It was so extreme, I'd almost
have like many panic attacks every morning,

43
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.199
so I just didn't eat breakfast,
And so that's kind of tied into then

44
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.439
I found Intermitte fastening. And then
now that's just like the norm. Like

45
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:02.360
it's eleven thirty and I've had a
protein bar. I'll probably have one more

46
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:07.479
protein bar just because I'm training.
But if I wasn't training, it probably

47
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:08.800
wouldn't. Yeah, I wouldn't eat. I just have black coffee until like

48
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.360
three. So those two or two
of them, I'm trying to think of

49
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:19.919
others. I will say that,
uh, the dropping breakfast is probably the

50
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:25.280
easiest one. When I'm concentrating on
it's it's pretty easy for me to not

51
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:30.479
no, not eat breakfast. I
mean, I wrote a book here on

52
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.360
fifty percent facts once. It was
one page long. It's a New York

53
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:37.960
bestseller and it's called the three meal
Diet. Right, if everyone in America

54
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:42.599
just had three straight up square meals, we like standardized the plate size.

55
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:46.199
Everyone uses the same plate and you
can pretty much fill it with anything you

56
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.400
want, but you can only have
three of those a day, Right,

57
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.960
we will be a skinnier nation.
So the other episode we were talking about

58
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.960
a little bit about you guys will
have to just search around and figure out

59
00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:02.719
what we're talking about here. It's
think an episode about influencers and mainstream That's

60
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:11.840
like Sean Casey's main thing is,
don't eat little meals. Eat substantial meals

61
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:15.120
three times a day, and you'll
probably lose weight because you're just getting fewer

62
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.360
calories. Yeah, we don't drink
our calories. Three square meals and then

63
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:21.839
once you start to you know,
the plateau will do half our plates protein,

64
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:25.120
yeah, and then half our places. You know, once you want

65
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.759
to get and this will get you
IFBB ready, because you just start to

66
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.120
scale it, then half your where
I'm at now, half my plate is

67
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:35.120
protein and then half my plate is
literally vegetables. Yeah, you get jacked.

68
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:38.399
And then yeah, then you take
away breakfast. Now we have two

69
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:41.480
square meals and now you're on stage. Exactly. It literally works that way,

70
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:45.839
exactly. Yeah, it's crazy.
There's even I think there's a YouTube

71
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.519
video of a YouTube short of you're
describing this. Do Yeah, there should

72
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.560
because it's just so it's just so
true. The whole world would be better.

73
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:56.519
Like snacking is very American, Yeah, for sure, you know,

74
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.439
for sure, and so and then
our snacks are obviously the most calori dense,

75
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.480
the most palatable, the most addicting, and again there's nothing wrong with

76
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:05.879
them. Put your cheese, it's
on your plate, though, and make

77
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.720
them when you're square three, and
you'll probably be better off if you just

78
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:12.680
count that in not as a separate
thing, but as a whole meal that

79
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.680
has X number of calories in it. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

80
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.000
Other like big fads or like routines
or habits. I used to be

81
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:27.959
very early on, I was was
approaching shake guy, and I occasionally drop

82
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.439
back into it when I just feel
like I'm not getting enough protein in the

83
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:32.720
mix. I think a lot of
guys are like that. It's hard.

84
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:38.360
Yeah, it's really hard to eat
enough regular food and yet the kind of

85
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:41.240
protein, even if you're only going
at like zero point eight per yeah,

86
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:45.120
it's a lot. Yeah. I
think even the myth is still misunderstood of

87
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.639
like the window post exercise, because
there is a window. Because so everyone

88
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:53.279
said you got to drink your shake
right away, right like you gotta work

89
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:55.399
out, then you gotta chug your
shake, you gotta chug your carbs.

90
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:59.240
But then as the stupid internet and
human brains work, it flipped and said

91
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.240
like, oh that doesn't at all. Where the truth lies in the middle.

92
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.360
It does matter, and it does
help to replenish protein and carbs pretty

93
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:09.800
quick after your workout, but the
windows probably longer than you think, and

94
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.959
then the effect of that window is
probably less than you think. So it's

95
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.160
not going to make or break your
gains. But if you're locked the fuck

96
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.360
in with your diet, with your
training, with your sleeping. Getting protein

97
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:23.279
and carbs afterwards would be another flip
to switch to lock you in even more.

98
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:28.839
But again, if you're eating protein
enough protein daily every single day,

99
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.560
that window, the emphasis on the
window slowly, slowly starts to dissipate a

100
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:38.560
little bit, but replenishing carbs and
protein soon after workout is good. Yeah,

101
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:42.560
you know, Yeah, I don't
really know others. Yeah, I

102
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.920
never found myself after the beginning.
I never found myself in love with any

103
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:53.439
like protein powder or whatever, shake
that enough to want to keep doing it

104
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:55.439
and doing it and doing He gets
sick of it after a while. A

105
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:58.399
lot of it's bad until you get
the Ninja creamy. I don't know about

106
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.399
that that changed your life. It
sounds dirty, it is dirty, but

107
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:05.600
it's so good. It's so good. I mind broke. And I'm normally

108
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:10.360
really kind, but like sometimes I
just get so frustrated that I just get

109
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:13.279
short. I'm still not mean,
I'm not like you know, but like

110
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:18.639
I was on Amazon customer service for
fucking three separate times for an hour.

111
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:25.600
I was on ninjacreamy dot com for
fucking chat three different times for half an

112
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.839
hour, and then and then they
always just send you and it's a human.

113
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:30.279
It's not a bot. I'm talking
to humans. And then they just

114
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:32.480
send me the troubleshooting link. I
was like, yeah, I thought of

115
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.959
that, like you can. The
first thing you google is Ninja Creamy broke,

116
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:39.279
and it will shoot me the troubleshooting
I looked at all that. I

117
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:43.199
followed all the rules because my ship
broke within like three weeks of using it.

118
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.199
What yeah, And so then they
make you call like that. You

119
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.040
can't even get in. It's it's
like a two year warranty or something one

120
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.759
year warranty. And then they won't
let me do it via email. They

121
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:53.519
won't let me do it, so
then I gotta hop on the call.

122
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:58.759
And then all these seven separate interactions, they've asked for the same information serial

123
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.120
number of mind. I'm like you
like, and there's a what's call like

124
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.720
a ticket? There's a ticket,
so you have my info somewhere because you

125
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.839
gave me a ticket exactly. And
then I'm on the phone. I'm sorry

126
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:09.279
to the lady if she's listening.
I was short with you, but you

127
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.600
were not helping and I finally got
to fix it. You the weirdest thing.

128
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.720
So they'll send you a refund.
After everything, she went two weird

129
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:22.480
ass fucking things. One, I'm
on the call with customer service. It's

130
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.480
obviously outsourced. Uh huh, struggling, but I'm dealing with it. She

131
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:28.560
says, h we'll text you a
link and then you'll have to show me

132
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.240
the machine. I said, what
does that mean? So she sends me

133
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:37.240
a one way FaceTime link basically weird, weird, So I have to click

134
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.759
on it. It's like first thing
that unit. I'm not getting a warranty

135
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.919
on a Rolls Royce. This thing
costs one hundred and fifty fucking bucks and

136
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.360
I know that's a lot of money
kind of but you know what I mean.

137
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.320
Yeah, So I got to go
to my kitchen one way FaceTime or

138
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:54.480
the machine. So she sees there's
some broken shit. Okay, she has

139
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.440
me to that twice. First time
was to show the broken shit. Then

140
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:00.960
finally they admit, like a forty
five minute call into it and ten conversations

141
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.039
later, ninja creamy, dude,
you make some good shit, but fuck

142
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:07.600
you. You know. Then uh, she's like, Okay, we'll put

143
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.279
that in, but it's backlog blah
blah blah. So she puts my order

144
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:11.440
in. I was like, all
right, so I don't got to do

145
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.279
shit. She's like, no,
we have one more step. I'm gonna

146
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:18.759
text you another link, another FaceTime
link. They make me. It's like

147
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.320
a fucking too many jokes to go
on at a bad time, but it's

148
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.279
like a fucking execution from medieval times. She makes me film myself cutting the

149
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:30.559
cord of the machine. I said. She said, oh, now you

150
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:31.799
have to cut the cord, and
again it's outsourced. I didn't understand what

151
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:33.639
the fuck she's saying. I was
like, wait, you need me to

152
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.080
just knife off my electrical cord.
She's like, well, scissors are preferred.

153
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:39.799
I said, what the fuck?
And so I grabbed scissors and have

154
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:45.360
to cut the cord live in front
of her, like a horror film for

155
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.720
fucking convenience items. Weird shit,
but the ninja cream is a great way

156
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.320
to get a protein. Long story
short, So they're trying to make sure

157
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.320
that you're not just saying that it's
broken to get her for another frig again.

158
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:01.600
And it's not a Rolls Royce though, yeah, exactly, Well this

159
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.799
holy shit, this is an aside. But this is all we've done today

160
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.720
that you know, there's a whole
thing about Target leaving a bunch of or

161
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.120
closing a bunch of stores because of
theft or whatever. Yeah, a close

162
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.320
look at that proves that it's bullshit. Oh really, yes, Yeah,

163
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.919
those kinds of thefts are going on. But the stores that all of the

164
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.120
stores that Target is closing, it's
just lack of production. Yeah, it's

165
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:33.480
not because other stores around them have
more theft and they didn't close them.

166
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:41.360
So uh. And and one of
the best like big box places that in

167
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:46.080
terms of how they do for shrink
for like theft and whatever is Low's and

168
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:48.320
Low's deal is And this is the
oldest thing. I used to work in

169
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.039
retail. This is the oldest fucking
thing. If you want to prevent loss

170
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:54.440
is customer service. Yeah, for
sure, you have to do good customer

171
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.720
service. But that's a lacking skill
in today's day and age. Yeah.

172
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:03.879
And like obviously the people they're more
worried about the loss prevention part than they

173
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.279
are about about about the customer service
and make being a good business. Yeah

174
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:09.440
yeah, they I mean they really
made you jump through a lot of hoops

175
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.519
for one hundred and fifty bucks.
Yeah, it was paint. It's too

176
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:15.639
bad in your time isn't worth more
money. That's what I was going.

177
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.879
Literally, Yeah, they were like
nice, but like, holy shit,
