On This Episode You Will Hear:
- [00:30] Introduction
- [10:00] People can break out of that mindset of one thing is causing my bad health. When you’re burning fat and you’re fat adapted. The fat is actually good for you and it gives you your fuel.
- [20:00] When I had a regular nine to five job, I was saving money more than I am now or I was just watching my spending more. I was basically single, so I would just get those TV dinners thinking, well, there’s only 12 points in each of these. So I would have three a day and thought it was pretty amazing still maintaining or losing weight. That’s one of the things we talked about in the documentary, it is the fact that weight loss does not always mean good health.
- [31:00] Movie’s and catering. It’s an unspoken rule, that even if your union, you just you have to be there for the crew. They can’t go out, they have to be in and set up all day long for the filming.
- [40:00] My favorite argument against the ketogenic diet that, yes, it works, but after you stop it, you gain the weight back. That’s why you don’t stop it.
- [50:00] The next time he saw me, he was at the Chicago show, and he came up to me. He said you look like you’ve lost weight since I saw you. I said, yeah. He asked what are you doing, what are you exactly eating? I said, meat, eggs, butter, coffee, water.
- [01:07:00] Final Words
Final Words:
If you bought this movie and watched it, Thank You. Especially if you bought it and supported the project on Indiegogo too. If we can share this with as many people as possible, they’re going to watch it and they’re going to say, “Oh, my God”, like one of my friends did last night, “Is this true?!”
That’s what we want. We want people to watch it and say, I’ve never heard that before. Then they go and tell other people and then we can really make a change. Because in all honesty, like all documentaries, that’s what they are there for. To tell a story that people haven’t heard before, and it leads them to either changing their lives or helping to change other people’s lives. So I would just say continue to share it. If you don’t want to buy it, just rent it and watch it.
