My EV made me FAT, and selling it made me DEPRESSED. Podcast Part 2 feat. Challenge The Road

[@GeoffBuysCars]

Part 2 of a 3 part podcast chat with Richard from ​⁠ 1... Why is my phone always rubbish? What was the best mobile phone? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIaUnoWvrdKMrJo 2... Richard sold his EV, lost weight and got depressed. What's this about? kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6iQn6mMq9xrnMU 3... Supercar values... Do we really need million pound cars? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKXFeoOLodCjZtE

[@hearthetreefall4934]

@GeoffBuysCars it may be an idea to look at German New Medicine for an explanation of men's beer bellies and weight gain/loss. Look for Alvin De Leon on KZbin and Danielle Bryant. Also perhaps look at the metaphysical such as Jacques Martel's book and Evette Rose on KZbin and her book metaphysical anatomy. It gives more explanation and when you work through them according to what symptoms present in the healing phase, the more you really understand your own body. Your body is far more intelligent than we are led to believe. As you start to use these modalities, ailments, illnesses and diseases can heal quickly, sometimes overnight, but more importantly you start to see yourself differently and realise how much fear we have all been put into since birth. Crying is cathartic and a cleansing response. Good on you for bringing this up and for both of you speaking openly as men.

Hey Geoff. Carnivore is the way to go. I'm mid 50's and was in the same boat, I put on heaps of weight because of an injured back and neck, always taking pain killers, I gone from 118kg's to 85 - 89, I feel fricking Awesome. the whole family is doing it. We've been Lied to! 😉😉

[@GT380man]

Crikey, kudos to you. Dropping nearly 40 kg is astonishing. Not surprised that you’re feeling GREAT. Like Geoff said, if you’ve been eating a near vegetarian/vegan diet plus crappy highly processed “food”, they day you choose to switch to mostly meat, your body and mind go delirious with renewed energy. As a man in his mid-60s, I feel more male since moving to a diet from which most calories are from meat. I can feel increased aggression and assertiveness, but accompanied by increased self-control. Exactly what the Fat Controllers do not want us to be!!

[@karynelaine2702]

Honestly I believe unprocessed foods and good fat, grass fed butter, for normal hormonal regulation, you don't get hungry!! Also eggs, lots of eggs!!!

[@AnnieRed66]

I can't eat eggs, whether they're boiled, fried, scrambled or in an omelette...I get a pain, that lasts for hours 😢

[@GT380man]

@@AnnieRed66That’s distressing as well as unusual. The classic intolerance is with under cooked eggs. Many people have sensitivity to the egg white protein, ovalbumin. Do you know if it’s down to the egg white or the yolk?

Insulin i.e. sugar & carbs is major issue for weightloss, i went carnivore & within̈ 1st month lost 2 stone and skin is clearer & glowing people are commenting looking healthier without me saying anything about diet

[@GT380man]

I wish I’d known this in 2003. I’d smoked for 25 years, had become unfit and overweight. I quit smoking after some scary symptoms, took up road running, and the weight fell off. Early on, though, I found the discipline of deliberately eating just slightly less than I was burning in a day was VERY hard. That works but I hadn’t realised that there are better & worse ways to burn more calories than I was consuming. 21 years later, I can eat whatever I want, because I now eat a lot of fresh, meat-based meals that I cook. I never buy ready meals or highly processed foods. For me, a meal mostly of steak with a small portion of vegetables and no carbs means I’m sated and rarely fancy anything else.

[@miamitten1123]

So you eat not fruit or veg?

[@timothyabraham13]

Carnivore is training your body to burn fat not sugar for energy which is natural, it also includes fish, and any other animal products, butter, yogurts, cheese, eggs and any spice or herbs. You wi get a huge amount of energy and start to eat at 12:00 mid day and 18:00 which gives you 18 Hours of fasting in-between.

[@Pher1954]

Yes 100%

[@SierraNovemberKilo]

People who want to lose weight always overlook the simplest method of getting back to a baseline. Eat like your grand/great grandparents. Start day with cooked brealfast. Have a light lunch and then dinner is meat and two veg (have a pudding if so desired). Eat nothing else between these meals. Drink moderately if at all. See results quickly and no downers.

[@paulatkins-rf7pm]

I have an X5 45e. A 3 litre straight 6 with a 54 mile hybrid. It does up to 85 mph in battery mode and when driving on the engine it gives you 1 mile of battery power for every 2 miles of petrol. My car has done 16000 miles but only 960 miles using the engine in 2 years & 9 months. It is absolutely brilliant. I had the x5 40e before this one which did 20 miles on battery and I was very pleased with that as well.

[@johnmoncrieff3034]

Richard is not alone in his state of mind when he lost so much weight by crash dieting! I was told I had to loose 6 stones to enable me to have a knee replacement op. in as many months, from a base of 20+ stone. After sticking to the diet set by the dietitian for 5 months I lost 4.5 stones I was told that I had missed the BMI figure by 3 but as the surgeon had only another week before he had to refer me back to my own doctor he was not prepared to operate! ^ years later I still have not had the operation and am now back to the 20 stones, & can hardly walk due to the pain! I am now 77!

[@ianchalklen1047]

Great to hear Richard being so honest. Life is about balance and I’m sure he will get back there. Look what EV ownership has done to him 😂

For the last ten years I've always had a Motorola. Never have a contract and own the phone. I'm on EE. Never have a problem. My best phone was called a pebble phone. Could fit in the palm of your hand and was a flip phone. People think apple is the best. No there not they are just the most expensive.

As an iPhone user, I can say that Apple makes the second worst phones. Loved the Nokia communicator, loved my Blackberry. The reason I switched to apple is because even androids stopped making phones with a keyboard. And everything is humongous now. My iphone "Mini" is literally bigger than my Blackberry Q10. And if I really want big, I'd sit in front of my PC with its 4k 55" screen.

[@AlanBilsborough]

Weight Loss - this works for me. No eating between 8pm and 1pm. Eat almost anything you want otherwise ( I eat loads of bacon and eggs, even cake) and don't worry too much about over exercising. Give it at least a month. Keep yourself very busy in the morning and enjoy your lunch guilt free.

[@matthewgodwin3050]

I'm always sceptical of these diets that offer quick fix solutions. Instead, just eat a balanced diet comprising a little bit of everything. A decent breakfast, light lunch, and meat or fish with 3 veg for dinner, and no snacking in between. Worked for my grandparents, worked for my parents, and works for me.

[@douglasb.5601]

Hi Geoff, hearing Richard's story really made me a bit sad for him. He sounds to me like he's insulin resistant aka pre diabetic. My wife was the same, no matter how much exercise she did and how much she starved herself she couldn't seem to lose weight. The answer to her prayers was Berberine (we get it from from a British company that does clean supplements 👍🏻😎). Tell Richard to try this and cut back on carbs..up the meat/eggs/butter. I hope this helps.

[@nixswatson]

Sounds like a herx reaction from detoxing too fast to me Richard. Take vitamins and supplements, depression is mostly caused by malnutrition. Sugar is so hard to detox from, it can take a long time to balance back out after cutting out the sugar. Worth it though.

Crash diets don't work sadly so its always better to diet more slowly and exercise more. 😔. As Richard says it is more difficult as you get older - that is a fact of life. 😔

[@agriengineering419]

at the start... did he say the issue was due to charger wired on 16A trip, and should be on a 13A? if an electrical component wants to draw more than that, it will attempt it. unless his issue is its the the 13A plug getting hot (sign of electrical resistance) (causing a voltdrop which could cause charging issues) Reduce the resistance, wack a 16A blue plug on it, in my opinion (after doing your own research on it). Who remembers bar heaters, never blowing the fuse (draw under 13A/but close to it) but cooking the sockets. Reduce the resistance by over engineering it. remove the weak point

[@bentullett6068]

Everyone is taught to have a balanced diet. But in today's world it is now easier for people to obtain non healthy foods. I laughed when they said we need to stop showing fast food adverts in the day, to stop children seeing them because it was apparently one of the things causing obesity in children, but its ok to show a advert for Just Eat or Uber Eats in the day time which promote fast food.

[@kevinmott6205]

My EV depressed me and selling it made my wallet fat. Alternative vlog title😊😂❤

[@nickjp264]

The body’s sugar and stored sugar are the first to be depleted at the start of a diet and not surprisingly it can be more than just the reduced energy reserves that is encountered… challenge is to keep going through that stage. Whilst BMI has been discredited there should still be a normal range out there on the web to go by to know how much weight still needs to be shifted - not qualified in diet and nutrition, more coming from experience and a certain level of scientific understanding.

[@svr5423]

Imho BMI works quite well if you're not an athlete. Obviously, muscles and dense bones weigh a lot and then you get skewed results. But for "normal" people, it's a good indicator.

[@theColonel01]

can't go wrong with whole foods and avoiding processed fake food that is rammed down our throat at every shop, calorie counters are a great help and focus on protein first. going from 4k calories to 500 a day is not healthy or sustainable obviously, using saunas are great but some electrolyte are needed and throw in some light resistance training along with cardio

[@turokforever007]

It is terrible how many fake foods are being sold. Even fruit and veg cannot be trusted. I cannot eat bread any more because of the rubbish in it. So make my own.

[@Elsie-uy2kl]

A hybrid is better than an EV but petrol or diesel is even better. 👍

The only way to lose weight is to drop the carbohydrates and the sugary foods. Also no processed foods, stick to top vegetables and fruit. Eat good quality meats, fish and eggs. My wife and I have lost about 5kg using the 8 week blood sugar diet recipe book.

It's not an age thing it's just about calories burnt via eaten and expended etc. Lifestyle change and all that. The 16k steps is a great changer but perhaps just lessening the overall meal sizes, and be strictly honest with yourself, will you be happier eating shit? Briefly, or for long-term.. you will be more energy more content and happier overall as this is the bodies natural state to be in a balance ;-) All the best and yes just regulate and be really honest with yourself!

[@c1a2t3a4p5i6l7l8a9r]

The reason why you're not losing that much weight is because you're walking. Walking is decent exercise but if you want to lose weight lift weights. I've lost damn near 10 inches off my waist I don't know what that is in pounds. That's in 6 months I changed my diet very little I still eat chocolate and some of the delightful little things you just have to have. When you build muscle you turn your body into a calorie burning machine when you walk around and you're just using the efficiency you already have.

[@industrialmonk]

I found not eating for 5 weeks works for loosing weight but not drinking water for a few days is not good 😮 especially at the same time as not eating for 5 weeks. It took 2 years to put most of the weight back on.

[@phenogen8125]

As an inevitable consequence of strict carnivore REGIME (it is not a diet) you will achieve optimal weight according to the physical demands of your lifestyle. More importantly it is a biologically appropriate regime and being a double immune system minimal toxin exposure food supply (glyphosate does not survive translation to meat by ruminant systems) is optimal and typically will invoke a detox both rapid and slower ongoing one as the toxins typically stored abundantly within surplus fat (white fat) are depleted under ketosis. The whole benefit can be rapidly escalated by utilizing prolonged fasting (ref pottinghers human for more info and reasoning/science) and gravitating to One meal a day (OMAD) regime to maximize intermittent fasting. Beef is complete food and the Petersons are a rapid source of validation of that if not MDs Ken Berry, Chaffee, Baker etc. ALL Carbs = sugar; the Real Gateway Drug.(Formula for failure; replete with soy for estrogen disruption of male babies). Sugar replacements invoke the SAME Insulin response and support ongoing Insulin Resistance which is the foundation for ALL modern dis-eases. Ignorance is not the basis for Wisdom. Stop enjoying playing the victim and seeking vacuous disingenuous empathy. 9th year Lion-omad and thriving. Try before you decry.
