00:01 Now, I've cut back on the high calorie dense
00:03 foods that are the fatty foods. 00:05 I'm not eating past six, but I'm still not 00:09 losing weight. What's the problem? 00:10 Well, today's program maybe just for you entitled 00:13 Liquid Fat. We'll be right back. 00:46 Hi, welcome to Abundant Living. 00:48 I'm glad you're with us today in our living room. 00:50 My name is Curtis Eakins and this is my beautiful 00:53 bride of 13 glorious years, Paula Eakins. 00:58 Hi. Hi. 00:59 I thought you gonna have me say something. 01:02 Yeah, you did. You said hi, that, that was something, 01:04 okay. Yeah, you want to say more? 01:06 No, no, I don't. Oh! Okay, 01:07 that's do it for right now. 01:08 For right now. Okay, you're looking good today. 01:10 Thank you. You are welcome. 01:11 Okay. Okay. 01:13 We're talking about, We're talking about, 01:16 Liquid fat. Liquid fat. 01:18 We've been through, we've got, 01:19 we've been through quite of things already. 01:21 Yeah, living large, living large, and emphasizing, 01:24 of course the plant-based diet 01:27 and also portion control and the volume of foods 01:31 that is low in calorie dense, which is the fruits 01:34 and vegetables has a lot of water the content. 01:37 Yes. So, have the volume there, 01:38 but not the calories and also reading those labels. 01:41 And message tells me gave to people, read those labels. 01:45 So, now if you reading labels and that's good. 01:47 Now, if you're reading labels 01:49 too long in a grocery store 01:50 that means you're in the wrong area because fruits 01:52 and vegetables do not have labels, it's like catch-22. 01:56 Then we talked about the snack attacks 01:57 and what about that honey? 01:58 Well, snack attack was making sure we get the 02:00 appropriate meals and breakfast and lunch, 02:03 and we didn't really sip, but also a light supper. 02:05 Yes. And that in between eating is bad news. 02:08 Yes, yes. Okay. 02:09 I think that's where a lot of people are failing 02:11 thus eating between meals and also eating late at night. 02:16 And also the snack attacks, yes, go on honey. 02:18 Now, I was going to say, so we are to close the kitchen, 02:21 At six. At six. 02:22 Close to kitchen at six. That's right, that's right. 02:24 Okay, that means the bedroom does not open up, 02:27 because some people have little refrigerators 02:28 in their bedroom, so, Okay. 02:30 kitchen and bedroom closed at six, 02:31 the eating part any way. 02:33 Well, this is called liquid fats. 02:34 So, my first question to you is, 02:36 what exactly is considered as liquid fat? 02:39 They are wind up to cause a person to gain weight 02:41 or not loose that weight. 02:43 Okay, well of course we know what solid fat is, 02:46 the fat that you can visibly see like the 02:49 let's say on bacon. We could see the fat on bacon. 02:52 The fat on chicken or meat, the skin, 02:56 the fat that's marbled within ground beef, 02:58 we could see that fat, but some fat is visibly 03:02 seen on those products, but now when we look 03:05 at liquid fat, and of course oil could be 03:08 liquid fat too, but liquid fat is something 03:11 different from those type of fats that can also add 03:14 calories to the body as well. 03:17 So, now let's go to our first graphic and let's see 03:20 exactly what is liquid fat. There you have it folks! 03:26 Gallons per person per year and at the bottom of this 03:29 graphic here, of course you have bottled water 03:31 and that's going up, that's a good sign, 03:33 there is no calories and water, we will talk about 03:35 that later on the program. Fruit juice has more or 03:38 less stabilized over the last 30 years or so. 03:41 Beer has climbed up just gradually and milk as well. 03:45 Coffee has gone down somewhat, 03:47 but look at the top of this graphic, honey, soda. 03:51 Now, of course you know, south is cold drink 03:55 and in the north is pop or soda pop, soft drinks, 03:59 whatever you prefer, but soda is off the chart. 04:02 It is the highest fluid consumed in this country, 04:07 soft drinks. Thank you, for that graphic. 04:09 So, now why do we call soft drinks, liquid fat, 04:13 here it is? Number one, as you look on a container, 04:17 there is no fat gram amount on the soft drink container, 04:21 however, soft drinks contain a lots amounts of sugar, 04:25 8 teaspoons etc. Now, sugar contains calories. 04:32 Calories adds weight to the body. Every 3000, 04:36 500 calories equals 1 pound. 04:40 Therefore pounds as weight as fats, 04:42 that we call soft drinks, liquid fat. 04:46 You don't see the fat on the soft drink, 04:49 but you see it in a calorie amount based on the 04:51 sugar content. And, we've gone to grocery stores, 04:54 honey, as well those who are listening, yeah, yeah, 04:57 you see people go through carts and you see 05:00 people are not buying maybe one liter of a soft drink 05:03 or a can of soft drink. They buy now case, cases, 05:08 and is lying in the bottom of the grocery cart 05:10 and sometimes they are on the side of the grocery cart 05:13 itself, the liquid fat. 05:14 I used to think when I saw the case, but they were 05:17 actually taking a case home to have a party. 05:20 Yeah, to have a party. But, I found out 05:22 that the case was actually for them. 05:23 Yeah, because they can't be having party everyday, 05:25 no, because we see them everyday. 05:26 And, sometimes it's more than one case. 05:28 Yeah, you know, there's different types of soft drinks 05:31 out there so again liquid fat and sometimes 05:34 when we do away with these liquid fats, 05:37 particularly the soft drinks, 05:38 then we see that way come down 05:40 because the calories are not there, 05:42 because the high sugar content has been removed. 05:44 So, liquid fat, sometimes it's, 05:46 sometimes referred to as liquid sugar. 05:50 I know that, a liquid candy. 05:52 I also know that I've had some weight programs 05:54 with people when we were talking about weight 05:56 management and they were saying that they had gotten 05:58 to a plateau and the weight was not dropping 06:00 anymore, they had dropped it at first. And then, I said okay 06:03 let me ask you a question, are you doing any sodas? 06:05 They said no, no, no I'm, I'm actually just doing 06:07 maybe a grape juice or orange juice or apple juice 06:10 instead and I said okay I want you off of all liquids 06:14 except water. Nothing for the next couple of weeks, 06:17 believe or not, the weight begins to go back down, 06:20 so it's true. 06:22 That is sugar regardless to whether it's a soda 06:24 or whether it's actually grape juice or apple juice, 06:27 it's just the amount, so we're talking about now 06:29 that's going to really cause some problems... 06:30 So now this also includes ice tea. Oh! I don't drink 06:33 soft drinks. True, that's true. Not soda, but ice teas. 06:36 So, fruit juices doesn't have as much calories 06:39 as soft drinks, but again soft drinks is liquid fat. 06:43 What about the research? Is there any research out 06:45 there for those who say where is the research? 06:47 Okay, there is a lot of research out there, 06:49 Lancet Medical Journal out of UK, England are the most 06:54 prestigious medical journals in the entire world. 06:56 They study on children consuming soft drinks 07:00 and they said for every soft drink a child can more 07:05 or less have a high risk of becoming obese, 07:09 not overweight, but obese in adulthood. 07:13 And, so that's Lancet Medical Journal 07:16 and let me talk about obesity and the Body Mass Index. 07:21 We didn't talk about this. 07:22 So, let's insert this right now. 07:24 The way to determine what is weight status is 07:27 what we call the Body Mass Index. 07:30 And you can go to the Google source or internet 07:32 and just type in Body Mass Index 07:35 and you'll have a chart there. 07:36 This is the weight status of where a person stands 07:39 based on their height and their weight and this go up 07:43 to your weight, go across to your height and then 07:46 you've your BMI 07:48 Now, the parameters are 18 to 24 your normal weight, 07:56 18 or 24 BMI, 25 to 29 your overweight 08:04 and that's usually or approximately about 08:05 30 pounds overweight, but 25 to 29 is overweight, 08:09 the BMI. Now, 30 and above you consider it obese. 08:18 40 and above you're a candidate 08:21 for Bariatric surgery. And National Institute of Health 08:26 are now considering even lowering that down lower 08:29 for the surgery for those who want to have that 08:32 stomach stapling. So, again that's the BMI. 08:35 Now, the Boston Children's Hospital did a study 08:39 and this is interesting research there of children 08:42 because we did it with children too are obese. 08:44 They did a study at the Boston Children's Hospital 08:46 and discovered that if a child drinks 1 soda per day, 08:52 we're talking about 12 ounces folks, alright, 08:55 their BMI will be added to point of scale 0.18, 09:01 just 1 soda per day, 0.18 points to your BMI. 09:06 Now, if you drink 6 sodas a day, 09:13 then your BMI goes up 1 point. Alright, 09:16 so you can see how that is effective of obesity. 09:19 Now, guess what? People are now drinking, 09:24 let me just turn this around, this is a 32 ounce. 09:28 Now, just do the math folks. 09:31 A lot of people drink more than one of these, per day. 09:36 So, you can see how the fat just simply increases 09:39 just by fluids alone particularly the soft drinks. 09:44 That's why we call this Liquid Fat. 09:46 So, again Sixty percent of chance of people becoming 09:49 obese if they just drink the sodas one per day; 09:53 Sixty percent chance of becoming obese in adulthood. 09:56 I was just thinking about when you said that if you 09:58 think about when you go to a gas station to get gas 10:01 and you watch the people going in, you will notice 10:03 that they have all the signs up like you can get 10:06 32 ounces, 42, 42. 64, yeah, and you can actually buy 10:12 the container go back and freely fill it back up again. 10:16 Refills. Refills. 10:17 Yes, so it encourages person to go ahead and fill it up 10:19 and that's where a lot of people, you know, 10:23 they deal with, they read the labels, 10:26 not eating past six, watch the fatty foods, 10:29 but this liquid fat is a thing that sometimes 10:33 is the thing that prevents us from dropping those pounds 10:36 and that's why we zero in on this topic today, liquid fat. 10:39 What then would be the best liquid for us, Curtis? 10:43 Well, other than the best liquid before we go there, 10:47 let's talk about some other liquid fats too. 10:49 Because there are other things that can add pounds 10:52 to the body other than just soft drinks. 10:54 You know, we've the lactase you know, of 32 ounce, 10:57 That's right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 32 ounces, 10:59 lactase is folks, it's a big thing, 800 calories, 11:03 800, 32 ounce, alright. That's a whole meal. 11:06 That's whole meal, really. And also now just as of late 11:09 for the last few years, now we have in these convenient 11:12 stores the energy drinks and these energy drinks 11:16 are usually 20 ounces. Now, these energy drinks 11:19 are like a triple whammy. Okay. Number one, 11:22 it has liquid fat because it has the sugar, 11:24 high fructose corn syrup that's one, 11:27 also the energy drinks also have caffeine. 11:32 Now, you read on a container, 11:34 it has the word Gorana, Gorana. 11:38 There is a mention of the caffeine but that 11:40 something that has caffeine in it. 11:42 You read it, that's what it has. It has the caffeine, 11:45 it has the sugar, high sugar content and also 20% of 11:49 these energy drinks now contain alcohol. I see. 11:54 So, it's a triple whammy, yeah, yeah, with these 11:56 energy drinks and they have climbed drastically 12:01 within the last several years in these convenience 12:04 stores, energy drinks. So, liquid fat, 12:06 the coffee, the lactase, the soft drinks 12:09 all of these combined adds weight to the system. 12:13 I thought about the word where you've been 12:15 saying high fructose. Somebody, high fructose, 12:19 high fructose, yeah, somebody called one time 12:21 and asked the question about what's the difference 12:23 between a fructose that we're using 12:25 and high fructose we see on the label? 12:27 Right. Okay, but when you see the word high fructose 12:31 on a label, they're not just talking about 12:34 high fructose syrup; they're talking now about fructose, 12:37 which is a fruit sugar plus regular sugar. Right. 12:42 That's why it is called high fructose, alright. 12:44 Okay. Or high fructose corn syrup. So now, 12:46 you got the extra sugar is being added. I remember 12:49 reading some stuff, you'll see, 12:50 remember we said before when you see the word sugar, 12:53 in order for them not to surprise you, 12:55 with how much sugars in the item. 12:56 They would change the names of the sugar. 12:59 Okay. So, they will have high fructose corn syrup, 13:01 corn syrup solids, dextrose, maltose, 13:04 all those are on that same labels. 13:06 So, sometimes when you got to read those labels 13:08 and see what's going on, yeah, that's why the sugar 13:10 has been here. Yeah, anything that has OSE, 13:12 glucose, fructose, sucrose, yeah, yep, okay, 13:16 so all of those you know, OSE, yes, okay. 13:18 So, we need something to switch from that, oh yes, 13:20 oh yes, liquid fat to something else. 13:24 So, what do you think, you got? 13:27 I my thinking has always been Eve's Ale. 13:31 Eve's Ale. Well, Adam's ale too. 13:33 Okay, let's go to our next graphic because I don't know 13:35 you've read my notes, but let's to our next graphic 13:38 and let's talk about Eve's Ale. Now, I had these 13:40 Adam's Ale last night that I told about you, honey. 13:43 Eve's Ale. The Bible says, Genesis 2:10, 14:00 This is NIV version. So, therefore God situated our 14:04 parents, our first parents in the Garden of Eden. 14:09 And, no doubt He put a river smack dab in the middle 14:14 of the garden. No doubt to water the garden, 14:17 but also we have to assume to give them water as well 14:22 because our body is not made up of orange juice 14:25 or apple juice or soft drinks or energy drinks. 14:30 Our bodies, our bones, our blood, our muscles 14:35 is made up of water 67 percent water. 14:38 Therefore God made that convenient 14:40 for our first parents and that gives us the idea 14:43 of Eve's Ale and if you are a man of course 14:47 it's Adam's Ale water. 14:49 Thank you very much for saying. Oh! You are welcome. 14:51 The word Eve's Ale. But, I will always think about 14:53 the fact that when you look at water itself 14:55 and how important it is, it does so much for a 14:58 body functions. Right. And so, when you talk about 15:01 that weight management, water is the 15:03 name of the game. Name of the game. 15:05 Alright. Name of the game. 15:06 You go to get in 6 to 8 ounces glasses of water a day. 15:09 I know, people say things according to your weight, 15:11 don't get yourself so worked up, 15:13 all you've to do is think of 6 to 8, 8 ounce glasses 15:16 of water. That's a very good way, 15:18 and of course in the summertime you might want to 15:19 drink a little more, but every now and then you 15:22 meet people who say they will do like 60, 15:23 they will do like a gallon of water a day, 15:25 you don't have to go a gallon. 15:26 You don't have to go a gallon because when you start 15:28 talking about on over-abundance of water, 15:31 now you're talking about messing with the electrolyte 15:33 system in the body, you're messing with the system 15:36 as far as how the water should flow through and give us 15:40 what we need to have in order to lose that way. 15:42 Excellent, that's right. 15:43 So, with that in mind one of the things that I would 15:46 like to do is to fill up my container with my water, 15:49 first thing in the morning. Okay. 15:52 And, this is a 32 ounce of water, 32, and what I do is, 15:55 I drink two of these a day. And when I do two of these 15:57 a day that really helps me to get the amount of water 16:01 I need in appropriately for that day. 16:04 That's right. You know. 16:05 Very good. What about you? 16:07 What about me? I do the same thing. 16:09 Yes, you've a container just like this except mine, 16:11 it's pink for ladies? Yes, for ladies. 16:13 Okay. But I want to answer; 16:15 we need to answer another question though because 16:17 why is it that water helps us to loose weight? 16:20 Right. It just chews those fat cells 16:22 because that's what we are dealing with the winning 16:24 weight, alright. A number of things, number one, 16:28 water helps to metabolize fat and that's what we need to 16:33 know now, water helps to metabolize fat, number one. 16:38 Number two, water also helps to eliminate waste 16:42 and toxins from the system. Our colon is five feet. 16:46 So, now if you drink water, it flushes out of the system, 16:49 that's a lot of weight, now away from the system 16:53 and we loose weight just by the flushing of the water 16:57 into our bodies. Then number three, if we drink water, 17:02 it also reduces the calorie content of other fluids because 17:07 water is calorie-free. So, for those uses alone 17:14 water can help us loose weight and for those, 17:16 now here is the challenge, here is the challenge folks. 17:18 Okay. For the next two weeks, 17:22 if you want to shrink those fat cells, drink nothing, 17:27 but water for the next two weeks. No juice, no pop, 17:36 no ice tea, nothing but water for the next two weeks. 17:42 Now, this is the challenge. 17:44 And, we're going to hold you to that and you may have 17:45 also seen how things are going 17:47 because this is what we do, we like to practice 17:49 what we preach and this is your water container, 17:51 you do that at least about fill it up, two, twice, 17:53 two in a day, okay I will mine as well. 17:55 So, the water is good, you see the weight coming off 17:58 just like that in addition to other things 18:00 that we mention over the last several weeks as well. 18:03 Well, I think it's time we go into kitchen, 18:05 what do you think? Okay. 18:06 I think it's time to go into kitchen and we're gonna 18:09 do a Blueberry Banana shake and we're also going to do 18:12 Beef Fajitas. So, we're going to talk about that weight 18:15 and while we get ready and go into the kitchen, 18:16 get your paper and pencil and meet us in the kitchen 18:18 because I'm going to drink me some water. |
