Modern Wisdom · Exposing The Food Industry’s Dangerous Lies - Vani Hari - #867 · 21 Nov 2024 podcast

And all you have to do is remember to defrost it, really. You can defrost things fast too, but remember to defrost things the night before. Just plan out your meals. So that you're not stuck in that situation of, oh gosh, I'm so hungry. The only thing that I can eat right now is this fast food because I don't want to think about what to eat and how to prepare it and do whatever.

And you just need to come up with five or six meals that you can repeat at home. that your family loves. And this is one of the reasons why I've written two cookbooks, Food Babe Kitchen and Food Babe Family, with things that the whole family can sit down and eat. You're not making different things for each person and being a short order cook. You're eating one meal as a family. Everybody likes it.

It's nutritious. It's real food. And it's fast. I don't like spending all day in the kitchen. And, you know, I want things to be 30 minutes or less. And so a lot of my recipes are that way. So I would highly recommend that, number one, you start cooking at home. You pick the ingredients yourself. You know what you're eating.

That's going to be the best solution to the situation that we're in in terms of our food system. And that's the way I've decided to be revolutionary in my own life. And to live this way is to be, you know, it's very unconventional to live a real food lifestyle because every time you go out of your house, you're being inundated with these processed foods.

Everything from the checkout at the grocery store, the fast food convenience places, all the places in the airport, all the places at any kind of event, whether it's a sporting event or a show or anything else, it's always pure crap. You have to make a revolutionary act in your own life to say, you know what? I'm not going to be part of that system anymore.

I'm going to bring my own food to these places. I'm going to take my own food on the airplane. I'm going to take my own food into the show because they don't have anything worth eating.

Right. Well, first of all, you just need to stop making excuses because, honestly, in order to live a healthy life in the system that we have, we have to be – we have to have those situations. You might bring your own food to a party, you know, your own dish that you eat, right, because you know everything else is crap. But you're contributing to the party. You're still there.

You're having a good time. Like, you may have to do those situations, I'm just going to have to say, because – Depending upon the lifestyle that you live, if you're in those situations a lot, that can really take a toll on your body, right? So if you are in control of your food, I would say 80% of the time, you are going to be in a good shape. And then so that allows you that other 20% to like...

be in those situations where you're caught with your pants down, right? And you don't have some snack available or some food available and you need to eat something. And I've been in those situations where like literally there's nothing to eat that I would choose normally. And sometimes I just decide to fast, right? I mean, hey, I can wait till I get to where I'm going and get something better.

But majority of times you can make better choices. There's always a banana. There's always an apple. There's always some plain almonds available at the airport, right? There's always an option for a one ingredient food. And so that's what I tell people to do. And again, if you're in these circumstances a lot, then you need to really make a choice whether you want to-

Yeah. I think the reason why some elimination diets work is because you will remove so many foods from your diet. And so it ends up working in terms of losing weight or whatever. But then when you add those foods back, that's when you gain the weight back and you end up in this kind of yo-yo cycle.

And the only thing they've found, researchers have found, that actually work full-time and long-term is removing processed foods altogether, right? If you eat real food and let's say less than 10% of it's processed. That is the diet that literally withstands all of the other diet literature out there as far as what actually works long-term and keeps you off of that yo-yo dieting strain.

And I've seen that in my own body, having two children where I was a little concerned. I was like, wow, I've gained 40 pounds having this child. Like, am I gonna be able to lose this? Am I gonna be one of those people that just can't lose it? And it naturally, left my body because my diet didn't change. I'm still eating real food.

I'm trying to eat as real as possible because I'm now nourishing my baby through breast milk. And it just went off naturally. I didn't have to diet. I didn't have to go on some workout program. I didn't have to do anything extreme. It's because I was eating real food this entire time. And it's why I've been able to maintain my weight now for 20 years and not have to do anything extreme. And so

my plea to all the people out there that are struggling with weight is, is go to real food because real food will send the signals to your brain for you to stop eating. It will send the signals to your body to be healthy. It will limit, you will get off your prescription drugs. You will start to realize a level of health that you never thought was possible.

And even more than all of that, those aesthetic reasons, right? And internal health reasons. I think there's a bigger thing at play. I don't think people's brains can function at the highest level that it needs to function until you get real nutrition and real food.

And you will not find out who you are meant to be in this world and give back to the world in the way that you're supposed to until you get your body completely clean of all of these chemicals.

Just come on over to foodbabe.com. I'm the food babe on all social media. And thank you for having me, Chris.
