Red meat and high-quality sources of protein should be what your diet is built around. I hate how limiting some of these diets are. Yeah, they're insane. And, you know, it's because it just attracts a lot of people. The answer is to eat real food. We know the answer. There's a species-appropriate diet. You can make little tweaks. Human beings can thrive off a lot of different things.
It's a simple answer. All right, guys, finally made it happen. We got Brendan from Santa Cruz Medicals here today. We got the electrolytes in here. Yeah, we're sipping on the electrolytes. Which flavor did you grab? I got dragon fruit and it tastes amazing, man. It dissolves really easily. That's our best seller. I'm sending like pallets to Amazon at this point.
Dude, so Amazon's crushing it for you? Amazon is crushing it. Yeah, I just, you know, people love Amazon Prime.
they just love it so easy one day like when i get comments like i ordered your electrolytes and i got them the next day i just i love that dude sometimes like hours oh i live right next to one so yeah yeah same day delivery nothing's like it's not so how does this differentiate from like zip fizz from uh the other electrolyte drinks yeah so the big thing with electrolytes is you're losing sodium and potassium at about a 3.5 milligram to one milligram ratio
We in this country have scared people about salt intake. I'm sure you've heard it. Limit your salt intake. Oh, when people say they're trying to get healthy, they're trying to reduce their amount of sodium. That's not really right for people who are athletic. And have you heard about the study that they did on the Philadelphia Eagles? No.
Okay, so during training camp with the Eagles, they attached these devices to them and monitored their sweat loss to figure out what they were actually losing in their sweat. Now, given this was like, you know, a hard training session, this was outdoors, they're probably sweating a lot, and these are some big boys. They were losing three on the low side to 30 grams of sodium. That's a lot. Wow.
You're losing, and there's other studies that show an average workout, hard workout, for athletes, seven to eight grams loss in an hour training session. With that said, the government tells you to only eat 2.2 grams of sodium per day. You play basketball, you're saying. So like you're a big dude and you're probably losing multiple grams of sodium. Crazy.
So replacing that with the right ratio, because that's what you really want is this ratio of electrolytes. It's not just like you need one electrolyte. There's a bunch. Mm-hmm. That's what we have in there. The right ratio of sodium, potassium, and magnesium, the right forms, no artificial sweeteners, no bullshit, man. Like liquid IV, everyone's heard of liquid IV.
They got bought by Unilever and now it's just cane sugar, not enough sodium, poor forms of magnesium. It's just stupid. Good marketing, though. Really good marketing. Yeah, and, you know, they're tasty. Like when people just drink sugar water, which is, you know, a lot of Americans just like to drink processed sugar. Right.
