0:01:24 knowledge we have today

0:01:28 healthy body because we know the
0:01:31 benefits of it what are the blinders are

0:01:42 somebody very good shape but why
0:01:45 shouldn't you be in good shape we have
0:01:46 so much science behind fitness no no we
0:01:49 can get in shape in 5 to 10 minutes a
0:01:51 day who doesn't have that incident if

0:01:57 healthier you have time to fix your car
0:02:00 and clean up your room but you're not
0:02:01 have time you to keep your body healthy
0:02:03 it's you have to prioritize know what
0:02:06 kind of like now someone wants us lucky
0:02:09 help me they want to know what like the
0:02:14 rule of thumb if I could boil it down it
0:02:16 to me I like to keep things sets three
0:02:17 rules I find it's the easiest way to
0:02:19 learn learn three things that are fine
0:02:20 in a subject one would be know how many
0:02:23 calories you can use you can go on many
0:02:26 websites you find out how much your body
0:02:28 through your size your age weight your
0:02:32 goal for your weight how many calories
0:02:34 should you eat in containers there's
0:02:35 many programs and then practice
0:02:38 calculating your calories after a while
0:02:40 you'll just look at a piece of food and
0:02:42 you'll know about how many calendar
0:02:45 now you don't have to be perfectly exact
0:02:47 but over time after about a month and
0:02:51 you'll be an expert this is this how
0:02:53 many calories this is not many calories
0:02:54 this
0:02:55 you know I'm close to my to my quota for
0:02:57 the day I know how many calories you
0:03:00 should have a thing yeah you all know
0:03:03 that having that cookie is gonna cost me
0:03:05 this many calories on my go
0:03:07 once you get to your goal let's say you
0:03:11 get to eight percent but nine percent
0:03:12 whatever it is now you can have more off
0:03:14 these more days of surgery like I eat
0:03:17 this today I'm not worried I'm like I'm
0:03:18 gonna stay my buddy but I'm not gonna
0:03:22 you cannot be more than one pack one
0:03:24 pound one pound and a half in a week you
0:03:26 big dog you can gain water weight yes so
0:03:31 you have to know that your your goal
0:03:32 once you get it's easier to maintain
0:03:34 them to get there so I found it very
0:03:36 encouraging so how many calories you eat
0:03:38 and they figure that out you're gonna
0:03:40 have to experimental if you're a little
0:03:42 bit lightheaded that number is a little
0:03:43 bit low yeah weakened if you're not
0:03:46 losing a lot of weight after 2-3 weeks a
0:03:48 minute it might be a little high you
0:03:50 gotta lower it it's not an exact science
0:03:52 there is some adjusting that needs to be
0:03:56 done but the good news is very simple if
0:03:59 you're feeling bad increasing the small
0:04:01 amount increase of your calories by five
0:04:02 or ten percent and now once you find
0:04:05 that number you'll find yourself full
0:04:07 just eating better second I would say a
0:04:13 good rule of thumb would be to eat the
0:04:16 same foods every day like I have I know
0:04:18 I have meals I make the recommended
0:04:19 calories I know I do I do
0:04:23 one meal that I do most every day is one
0:04:25 banana two ends I mash them up I make a
0:04:28 pancake I make three pancakes with the
0:04:30 higher you make a packet yeah mash them
0:04:32 up make a pancake and I had 50 calories
0:04:34 worth of honey I love honey any things I
0:04:37 love thank you

0:04:47 stage Nate's is amazing for treating the
0:04:49 backsight not sugar fiber carbohydrate a
0:04:53 slowly releasing easy to digest

0:05:07 that a big Max's I don't feel like the
0:05:13 fries I don't always naturally but I
0:05:20 know how many calories I should even
0:05:21 today and for me it keeps me lean
0:05:23 healthy and it keeps the energy going
0:05:24 because if you eat too many calories and
0:05:26 energy of tools project three to little
0:05:29 you'll feel like head into me how'd you

0:07:25 something this should be done very well
0:07:27 we have so much knowledge today health
0:07:30 health comes from eating right and
0:07:32 exercise would you think about me
0:07:34 because that was like the whole thing
0:07:37 I haven't I would say I like it dr. joel
0:07:42 Fuhrman says to deck of cards so about a
0:07:45 deck of cards worth of brandy or movie
0:07:47 or red meat twice a week not more than
0:07:49 that I think that's the ultimate the
0:07:51 star is optimal
0:07:52 I haven't I mean I go over that you have
0:07:56 such great food all the time or
0:07:57 traveling but it's the optimal when I do
0:07:59 that I feel my best when I'm lucid when
0:08:01 I try to lower my rope
0:08:03 I try to eat more fruits and vegetables
0:08:05 do you feel amazing yeah but then again
0:08:07 you go to these rare restaurants I don't
0:08:09 want to deny myself so
0:08:10 you know but next week now you know on
0:08:12 this trip I ate a little too much next
0:08:14 week I'm gonna be more strict yeah and
0:08:16 the way I am now I do 45 days of the
0:08:18 right amount of calories
0:08:20 but I also train along respective of how
0:08:23 active you are when you do these these
0:08:25 websites that you go on this front they
0:08:27 can ask you how active is your lifestyle
0:08:28 very moderate where you train every day
0:08:30 I can train a lot you know one day with
0:08:32 I one day a restaurant for me ok let's
0:08:38 move on to training your training is
0:08:42 mostly what's the trailer you know what
0:08:45 yeah I can't run on a trip I got left
0:08:47 when it's too boring
0:08:48 I've been training a long time for me
0:08:50 training is a player and it's many and
0:08:55 many other great fights I do Jiu Jitsu
0:08:57 wrestling kickboxing boxing this thing
0:09:01 did you tell me we're gonna wrestle for
0:09:02 one hour to me one hour is not a
0:09:04 question because we run on a treadmill
0:09:05 for an hour after Dennis I'm not tired
0:09:14 you can have the motivation to go right
0:09:16 this training is 99% motivation you know
0:09:20 one thing I found my way the senses are
0:09:28 missing are gonna be less than 1% Oh
0:09:32 but she'll try to tell me we make it fun
0:09:35 gotta cut me with cakes honey of this
0:09:38 but you need motivation like this it
0:09:42 comes to training motivation support
0:09:45 like me my sons are trained my son's
0:09:46 yeah I taught my son's if you train what
0:09:50 do you want this toy that's all
0:09:51 yes that's what yes
0:09:55 we was eating
0:10:10 [Music]
0:10:54 anyways I go stir everything it's like
0:10:57 it's not a question whether I'm gonna
0:10:58 trim it it's like what's your train
0:11:00 driver - how many allergy
0:11:03 how many chores do we Trinity that's my
0:11:08 day every day - in the heart that's my
0:11:10 day everything listening do did you do
0:11:12 this far oh yeah yeah it's funny - then
0:11:17 pretty much Java or injured ribbon yeah
0:11:19 but I'll tell you one thing here's my
0:11:22 philosophy
0:11:24 yeah yeah there's no excuse no excuse
0:11:28 can you do one push up a date I'll tell
0:11:31 you the biggest secret to training yeah
0:11:33 never train 100% trained always 70 to
0:11:38 80% save some for tomorrow so somebody's
0:11:44 completely out of shape let's say the
0:11:45 guy he hasn't trained in 10 years I felt
0:11:48 like it tomorrow doing one pushing this
0:11:50 money don't tell me you don't have the
0:11:51 time now if you tell me you don't have
0:11:52 that fine call us I won't leave you're
0:11:54 not you're not serious about being
0:11:55 healthy I've given up I call that
0:11:58 defeatist yeah you've given up a street
0:11:59 I can you do one pushup
0:12:03 don't give me ask one push up that one
0:12:07 push up it's gonna turn 2 2 2 is gonna
0:12:11 be enjoyable actually you're gonna crave
0:12:14 number three and after the number three
0:12:17 is gonna turn to a five because three is
0:12:18 uncomfortable it's not it's not a
0:12:20 satisfying spoon fight it's gonna grow
0:12:22 and you've created a spark I have it for
0:12:25 me now I'm at the point where I train
0:12:26 three hours and for me a regular me
0:12:28 maybe somebody trained three hours
0:12:31 follow that was exhausting for me it's
0:12:33 just a regular thing I got to that point
0:12:35 but it's one step at a time
0:12:40 so here when I trained someone I hold
0:12:43 their hand until they feel stronger and
0:12:45 they're carrying me you could take them
0:12:46 step by step my son's I started with a
0:12:48 little bit of truth
0:12:49 a little more a little more and then
0:12:53 training an old mandatory if you want
0:12:57 the things you like homework and
0:13:00 training is manual before was this the
0:13:02 game no mom I want this okay no but we
0:13:05 save our money for it but if you have
0:13:06 good discipline
0:13:07 I give you everything I think the worst
0:13:10 thing you could do to a child is give
0:13:12 them without their learning the worst
0:13:15 I'm a very serious father I really
0:13:17 amazing children especially have a you
0:13:21 know a background philosophize a lot
0:13:23 about raising children and children need
0:13:28 to develop their competence they have
0:13:32 the more confidence a lot of superficial
0:13:34 actually I'm not just on children but
0:13:36 just on young people grow up cuz
0:13:37 obviously like have this self insecurity
0:13:45 yeah participation trophy yeah and so on
0:13:48 yeah I was gonna ask you like what you I
0:13:51 think this is one thing people do the
0:13:55 best veterans are probably talk about
0:13:58 it's a quality that we will talk about
0:14:00 bravery beautifying
0:14:04 all players you've seen a lot what's the
0:14:07 best way to feel free I would say
0:14:10 developing competence the more
0:14:13 competence you have the more the
0:14:15 byproduct is confidence against that
0:14:19 yeah so the more I prepared I always
0:14:21 stop into this if your competence is
0:14:24 here your confidence here if their
0:14:28 competence is here and your confidence
0:14:29 is here the real world the world is
0:14:33 gonna shut you down if your competence
0:14:37 is here and your confidence is here
0:14:41 you won't live up to your potential so
0:14:44 what we need is to be realistic if you
0:14:46 drive your car every day to work safely
0:14:48 you should assume that tomorrow you'll
0:14:49 drive it towards things if you're
0:14:52 getting into an accident every two days
0:14:53 I'm like don't take the country I'm not
0:14:57 confident you can drive like to coin the
0:15:01 term basic test measure retest
0:15:06 build your confidence supporting I think
0:15:09 sensible so kids young kids the reason
0:15:12 why they lack confidence is because you
0:15:16 know I hate to bring philosophy all you
0:15:19 ever heard me choose last man Nietzsche
0:15:22 says rookies yeah the last man yes the
0:15:28 opposite of the last man Yes Doctor
0:15:30 he says look society's quick creating a
0:15:33 shock we talked about this hey look hey
0:15:35 buddy you have pioneers people you have
0:15:38 nothing when you have nothing and you
0:15:40 fight you claw your way to the top yeah
0:15:42 and they can have something and your son
0:15:45 he saw you work hard you're the first
0:15:47 generation of workers we came to the
0:15:49 land and you boil the land
0:15:50 you built in your son he saw but your
0:15:54 son's life is better than life because
0:15:56 now I have things to give you I had
0:15:59 nothing
0:15:59 and tomorrow when I die you have
0:16:01 inheritance so you started higher than
0:16:03 me I boosted you up and then your son is
0:16:06 gonna see you you didn't work as hard
0:16:09 but you have so much and the third child
0:16:12 is even Richard and he got just God he
0:16:16 didn't work
0:16:16 he just got an okay takes more than
0:16:20 three generations to speak but there's a
0:16:21 generation they're spoiled
0:16:23 that's what he just said look Society is
0:16:25 making us more and more spoiled because
0:16:27 the hand-me-downs are coming then one
0:16:28 day you're a hot captain on a silk
0:16:30 pillow but the world out there is too
0:16:34 hard for you so you have this deep
0:16:36 insecurity you can't go out there in the
0:16:38 world and get a kill and begin back home
0:16:41 for us to me you've the comforts of the
0:16:44 world and I can give you many example
0:16:46 stories men the comforts of the world
0:16:51 have become a prison to you so now when
0:16:54 you mean I said I felt my kids my wife
0:16:56 what I never want to be soft to be the
0:16:59 guy who just tells people what to do but
0:17:01 I can't do it too
0:17:02 I fear one day I'm gonna become old and
0:17:04 I have to become sightline but then I'm
0:17:08 gonna feel softer I don't want to be the
0:17:11 guy on the pillows people think being
0:17:14 born in abundance money
0:17:19 bless it can be because should be a
0:17:21 curse to have everything so I mean
0:17:25 there's so much to know about raising a
0:17:27 healthy human being so you're saying
0:17:29 bravery true bravery because the thing
0:17:36 is people can act confident but they're
0:17:38 masking a layer of insecurity this is
0:17:41 common the key right strong with the
0:17:42 keys yes blah so yeah I believe you're
0:17:48 raising competencies if you want to make
0:17:50 somebody help you happy raise their
0:17:52 confidence imagine let me do a thought
0:17:55 experiment imagine I could survive in
0:17:58 the wild right now perfectly
0:18:01 tomorrow the government's froze your
0:18:03 bank account sheet chart at the home
0:18:05 throughout in the street
0:18:07 seek you out of it you would even sweat
0:18:10 one visa
0:18:10 why I remember a story about a bourbon
0:18:14 what the greatest burglar of all time
0:18:15 the greatest burglar well that was if I
0:18:18 remember correctly
0:18:19 Henry Manchester I was a young kid when
0:18:21 I heard his story I watched a
0:18:22 documentary I could have beat the
0:18:24 confidence it's my hybrid 14 years he's
0:18:27 robbing banks and then stole over said
0:18:29 everybody's robbing everybody
0:18:31 they call him the rooftop burglar it
0:18:33 would make a hole in the roof stop read
0:18:35 the manual of alarm
0:18:36 this is disabled a large untouchable is
0:18:39 that one day they caught him and he
0:18:41 confess to other crimes they're like you
0:18:43 confess all the credit
0:18:44 I did all those burglaries you want my
0:18:46 things when they put him in jail he was
0:18:49 so smart he got out of the jail like he
0:18:51 was so confident that's why he had
0:18:53 extremely he was a genius
0:18:55 well I he was a genius at the end that
0:18:57 I'm getting caught because he fell in
0:18:58 love with a girl the girl called him to
0:18:59 call the cops like it was an emotion we
0:19:02 had higher Q but not equal intelligence
0:19:07 0 IQ huge but you see yes I remember
0:19:10 watching that documentary his confidence
0:19:12 was incredible yeah but it can't even
0:19:14 hold them in the prison so this this
0:19:17 confidence comes from legitimately
0:19:20 developing your skill that's why I told
0:19:21 you no oh yes I've reached thousands of
0:19:24 young men I was incursion to exploit the
0:19:28 tempature God give you a potential out
0:19:30 there to learn to think to study our
0:19:33 creature to be exploited to get you
0:19:35 that's what the professor plan will come
0:19:37 son from the cuts he said you know take
0:19:40 five little pipe
0:19:48 was it take like the treasures of five
0:19:51 days before pockets I said one of the
0:19:53 three centers help before illness comes
0:19:57 before old age puzzle people take a
0:20:09 little bit people sometimes forget that
0:20:16 being physically emotionally
0:20:18 in fact the choice it's also a very
0:20:21 thing he would really functioning in
0:20:24 life so thanks my that was really good
0:20:27 advice
0:20:27 now obviously YouTube channel what you
0:20:31 do like tutorials and stuff like that
0:20:33 it's cool Tristar Tristar gym which is
0:20:37 FG my husband Thomas great great spires
0:20:39 really have
0:20:44 so anyone who wants to to go on there
0:20:47 and to watch those videos was really
0:20:49 very very beneficial you have to go into
0:20:52 more efficient into what we've got kind
0:20:54 of similar discussion today so that's
0:20:57 also on there there's never been a
0:21:09 golden age in science greater than the
0:21:14 Golden Age of Islam during the Golden
0:21:15 Age of Islam was the Golden Age of
0:21:18 science there's never been a greater
0:21:19 golden age before or after he says it in
0:21:21 his speech even if it's who says that
0:21:22 was his name Neil deGrasse Tyson
0:21:24 where does he say he says it no more of
0:21:27 his lecture a lot of it is very open
0:21:29 about in on stasis book that the stars
0:21:31 are Arabic names why do you think that
0:21:33 is because the Arabs were very stron
0:21:35 averse and they push science to the to
0:21:37 the greatest degree but when the
0:21:40 Mongolians came and burned our libraries
0:21:41 and crushed the Muslim empire
0:21:45 the blowback was hey we have to go make
0:21:47 it right with Allah we're too much in
0:21:49 the dunya know I get a lot experience
0:21:52 this is what I've understood
0:21:56 from the
0:21:58 trying to accumulate what happened to
0:22:00 the Golden Age
0:22:02 is that the blowback was look we've got
0:22:03 so much fascinated by the dunya

0:22:54 Pro philosophy and through learning and
0:22:57 through science in San
0:23:00 however he was also trying to bring them
0:23:02 back to spirituality
0:23:04 as this may be the case but it's time
0:23:07 for a recovery you know it's time for us
0:23:09 to start being more
