When I eat with my family, I eat pretty good.

When I go out with my high school friends, diet's not that good, right?

There's a lot of ultra processed foods there.

And so that's important.

Where you eat is important.

If you're eating at a table with a fully cooked meal versus on the go with ultra processed foods.

So all of these questions form that sort of scaffold.

And that's the sort of third sort of golden rule is really design your social environment for success, right?

And that's a little bit more nebulous because it's going to be different for different people.

So the thing about the golden rules, right?

If you think about it, they're very, very old rules.

Like it's not just like I made them up sort of thing.

It's like if you think about the golden rules, it's like don't eat junk food, right?

Don't eat all the time, right?

Make sure you spend some of your time, you know, some of your day not eating, right?

Because when you eat, you store calories.

When you don't eat, you're going to burn calories.

And make sure you're with the right people and doing in the right environment, right?

Just like school, like you don't want your kids to fall in with the wrong crowd, right?

Why?
