And you just do it for a couple weeks, you know, and you see how you progress. And what will normally happen is usually those are the most offending, the biggest offenders when it comes to nutrition, that you will notice some quick weight loss when you stop it.

Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, white rice is actually, there's a place for carbohydrates in people's diets, I believe. But you have to have a healthy respect for them because they're the most likely to be overeaten. Like the desire to eat five steaks is not there for most of us. But you could pound a whole plate full of rice and then some

Like the desire to eat five steaks is not there for most of us. But you could pound a whole plate full of rice and then some
or pasta and then some because they are much more chemically pleasing to the body. So I think people need to be cautious of overconsumption of carbohydrates and they're not aware of portion sizes really impacting them because they'll say, no, I had rice and pasta. And I would say I have rice and pasta too every day. But like, I probably don't eat as much as that person does.

So portion sizes when it comes to that is one of the areas people do not have a good awareness about.

the kind of hidden offenders i mean there's sugar in a lot of things that is used just to make these things more appealing especially you know like yogurts right people will have you know fruit on the bottom yogurt but it's like loaded with sugar or my first experience was oatmeal i was reading the bodybuilding magazines in my teens that every bodybuilder ate oatmeal in the morning so of course i was buying quaker oats but i was buying those little packets

And they have brown sugar in the bottom. And it's like they're loaded with sugar. They were not the equivalent of Quaker Oats from a canister. And so here I'm thinking I'm doing something right. But I'm not. Because there was more sugar in that than there was in a bowl of Trix cereal. What do you look for on the package? I always look for sugar and fat. That's what I look for. So...

But dietary fat, there are nine calories per gram of fat versus four calories per gram of protein or carbohydrate. There are much more calorie dense foods. So when you have fats on your plate in any way, shape or form, calorically, that dish is going to increase pretty quickly. So you have to be mindful of them.

If you want to lose weight and achieve a hypocaloric state to get there, you're going to have to take in fewer calories in your then you're burning. That's why I would look at fat content. But sugar is just really not necessary. It's just one of those things that our bodies do not need and tends to be too inviting to the point where people have a hard time stopping eating sugar.

So I think that's one of the fastest ways to to get yourself on track is to try to minimize the sugar content in the food. And then I look for protein because I think that protein has a lot of benefits in terms of improving that ratio of fat to lean muscle and also for its ability to satiate you.
