1
00:00:05,670 –> 00:00:08,560
Ed Watters: To overcome, you must educate.

2
00:00:09,950 –> 00:00:15,969
Educate not only yourself, but
educate anyone seeking to learn.

3
00:00:17,320 –> 00:00:21,350
We are all Dead America,
we can all learn something.

4
00:00:22,520 –> 00:00:26,730
To learn, we must challenge
what we already understand.

5
00:00:27,780 –> 00:00:31,180
The way we do that is
through conversation.

6
00:00:32,619 –> 00:00:39,750
Sometimes we have conversations with
others, however, some of the best

7
00:00:39,910 –> 00:00:42,870
conversations happen with ourselves.

8
00:00:44,210 –> 00:00:51,470
Reach out and challenge yourself; let’s
dive in and learn something new right now.

9
00:00:55,995 –> 00:00:58,545
Today, we are with Roman Fischer.

10
00:00:58,685 –> 00:01:05,254
He is an actor, a model, a bodybuilder,
and a performant, high performance coach.

11
00:01:05,795 –> 00:01:08,165
Roman, could you please
introduce yourself?

12
00:01:08,215 –> 00:01:10,454
Let people know just a little
more about you, please.

13
00:01:11,524 –> 00:01:12,634
Roman Fischer: Yeah, definitely.

14
00:01:13,304 –> 00:01:17,304
So outside of doing those things,
I really love, you know, just

15
00:01:17,315 –> 00:01:21,535
traveling and just seeing the world
and inspiring people along the way.

16
00:01:21,900 –> 00:01:24,930
And so one of those things,
just like he was saying, is

17
00:01:24,930 –> 00:01:26,540
being a high performance coach.

18
00:01:26,620 –> 00:01:31,899
So really helping people burn fat, gain
muscle, strength, flexibility, and most

19
00:01:31,899 –> 00:01:35,870
importantly, helping with their mindset
and improving their overall mindset.

20
00:01:36,130 –> 00:01:39,010
Because your mindset
literally governs all.

21
00:01:39,190 –> 00:01:43,590
If your mindset is not set right, then
you’re not going to really achieve or

22
00:01:43,590 –> 00:01:48,870
even have the motivation, honestly, to
achieve any said fitness goal out there.

23
00:01:49,080 –> 00:01:52,140
So, or any goal, really,
even non fitness related.

24
00:01:52,530 –> 00:01:56,439
So helping people just get their
mindset dialed in the right way so

25
00:01:56,440 –> 00:02:00,719
that they can actually go ahead and
go forth and actually achieve every

26
00:02:01,119 –> 00:02:04,429
and every which fitness goal that
they might have set for themselves.

27
00:02:05,365 –> 00:02:06,785
Ed Watters: I like that a lot, Roman.

28
00:02:06,895 –> 00:02:10,595
Everything about life is really mindset.

29
00:02:11,405 –> 00:02:16,665
Like you just stated, if you do not
have a proper mindset, it’s going

30
00:02:16,674 –> 00:02:18,965
to affect everything in your life.

31
00:02:19,054 –> 00:02:25,855
Health, your, your well being with social
crowds, you know, that, that’s a big

32
00:02:25,885 –> 00:02:28,484
thing because we’re social creatures.

33
00:02:28,505 –> 00:02:35,899
And if, if we can’t fit into that crowd,
that can really do devastating things,

34
00:02:35,910 –> 00:02:43,190
harmful things to our mind, which
affects our body, our overall being.

35
00:02:43,450 –> 00:02:45,730
So, yeah, I like what you’re doing.

36
00:02:46,029 –> 00:02:51,169
So, what inspires you
to get in and do that?

37
00:02:53,079 –> 00:02:56,040
Roman Fischer: Yeah, what really
inspired me to get in and do this

38
00:02:56,040 –> 00:03:00,480
whole thing was actually from my past
and my past experiences in my life.

39
00:03:00,825 –> 00:03:03,454
So growing up, I always struggled.

40
00:03:03,454 –> 00:03:05,475
And I mean, I struggled with depression.

41
00:03:05,495 –> 00:03:06,795
I struggled with depression,

42
00:03:06,795 –> 00:03:11,505
I struggled with anxiety, uh,
fear, and really just achieving

43
00:03:11,515 –> 00:03:15,144
what I wanted to achieve in my
life, even outside of fitness.

44
00:03:15,285 –> 00:03:19,625
So a lot, um, a lot of the times
I would struggle with, you know,

45
00:03:19,625 –> 00:03:24,475
career based goals, but also trying
to get my body to where it was.

46
00:03:24,725 –> 00:03:28,984
Cause I also really struggled with,
you know, a low self confidence growing

47
00:03:28,984 –> 00:03:31,004
up, especially throughout school.

48
00:03:31,114 –> 00:03:35,584
I would get bullied for being skinny,
not big enough, not being on the

49
00:03:35,584 –> 00:03:37,324
football team, things like that.

50
00:03:37,475 –> 00:03:41,905
Just being more skinny and not being
as big, as muscular as I could be.

51
00:03:42,174 –> 00:03:46,325
So all that really did play into
more of a low self confidence

52
00:03:46,364 –> 00:03:48,384
and a low self image for myself.

53
00:03:48,745 –> 00:03:52,005
So that was something I struggled
with a lot growing up in my life.

54
00:03:52,484 –> 00:03:57,204
But then, yeah, definitely just not
knowing where I was in my life and not

55
00:03:57,265 –> 00:03:59,874
really having found myself in my past.

56
00:04:00,325 –> 00:04:06,709
So taking all my past experiences and all
my past, you know, life moments, taking

57
00:04:06,709 –> 00:04:12,489
that and then using that and seeing
how I just honestly overcame all that.

58
00:04:12,489 –> 00:04:16,240
I, I overcame every single
one of those things and I

59
00:04:16,240 –> 00:04:18,380
improved and I did a total 180.

60
00:04:18,629 –> 00:04:23,470
Because I went from being and having a
low self image and a low self confidence

61
00:04:23,490 –> 00:04:28,100
in myself to literally just doing a
180 and not feeling that way at all.

62
00:04:28,210 –> 00:04:30,790
And honestly feeling the
exact opposite of that.

63
00:04:31,220 –> 00:04:35,815
So using those experiences, how I
overcame that, to then help other people

64
00:04:35,835 –> 00:04:38,045
because naturally I am a humanitarian.

65
00:04:38,365 –> 00:04:43,794
So then using my past experiences
and my triumphs from those challenges

66
00:04:44,155 –> 00:04:50,505
and obstacles and using that with my
passion and love for helping out other

67
00:04:50,505 –> 00:04:55,145
people, that honestly just made my
full on passion for helping people out.

68
00:04:55,465 –> 00:04:59,465
Not just in their fitness, but with
their mindset so they can improve

69
00:04:59,465 –> 00:05:03,364
themselves and so they can elevate
to a higher level for their lives.

70
00:05:06,330 –> 00:05:07,240
Ed Watters: Yeah, that’s great.

71
00:05:07,520 –> 00:05:13,895
So a lot of mindset actually
revolves around our diet,

72
00:05:14,284 –> 00:05:17,205
what we put in our bodies.

73
00:05:17,575 –> 00:05:21,934
And this is important for
people to really understand.

74
00:05:21,934 –> 00:05:27,355
Because the toxins that we eat
today, if we’re not aware of what

75
00:05:27,374 –> 00:05:33,494
we’re eating, the quantities that
we eat, it’s very detrimental.

76
00:05:33,504 –> 00:05:38,534
Not only to our body physically,
you understand that, but

77
00:05:38,904 –> 00:05:45,745
emotionally, these toxins dive
in and they attack our emotions.

78
00:05:46,095 –> 00:05:52,614
So we feel tired and that turns
into these angry emotions that

79
00:05:52,615 –> 00:05:55,375
we all tend to get sometimes.

80
00:05:56,604 –> 00:06:03,625
So how important is diet and what did
you discover along your research path

81
00:06:03,625 –> 00:06:07,945
that really slows us down with our diet?

82
00:06:09,054 –> 00:06:09,515
Roman Fischer: Oh yeah.

83
00:06:09,515 –> 00:06:15,485
So nutrition, diet, like you were
saying, it is very, very important and

84
00:06:15,485 –> 00:06:17,995
crucial when it comes to our mindset.

85
00:06:18,055 –> 00:06:18,995
A hundred percent.

86
00:06:19,055 –> 00:06:20,755
I could not agree more, honestly.

87
00:06:21,354 –> 00:06:27,114
And so why it is so important and why
it’s so prevalent for how it can make or

88
00:06:27,114 –> 00:06:31,914
break your mindset for the good or for the
worse is, honestly, what you’re eating.

89
00:06:31,924 –> 00:06:36,080
And so when you look at what you’re
eating, the ingredients of each

90
00:06:36,080 –> 00:06:39,380
thing that you can consume, even
the things that you can drink.

91
00:06:39,520 –> 00:06:42,820
Because a lot of people undermine
the things that they drink and they

92
00:06:42,860 –> 00:06:44,440
only focus on the things they eat.

93
00:06:44,850 –> 00:06:47,160
And sadly, sometimes they
don’t focus on either.

94
00:06:47,480 –> 00:06:53,499
But the people that do make somewhat of
a, you know, calculated, um, awareness for

95
00:06:53,500 –> 00:06:57,460
themselves, they might look at what they
eat, but they undermine what they drink.

96
00:06:57,860 –> 00:07:00,060
So looking at both is very important.

97
00:07:00,099 –> 00:07:03,520
I wanted to begin with that because
it’s also with losing weight,

98
00:07:03,639 –> 00:07:05,960
people that want to lose weight,
they don’t focus on what they’re

99
00:07:05,960 –> 00:07:07,360
drinking, only what they’re eating.

100
00:07:07,770 –> 00:07:12,640
So just to know, and just to know and
notate, you got to focus on both equally.

101
00:07:13,160 –> 00:07:17,610
But with that being said, looking at
the ingredients and what’s in both of

102
00:07:17,610 –> 00:07:19,900
our foods and drinks is very important.

103
00:07:20,080 –> 00:07:25,279
And I’ve noticed along the way with my
research throughout the years of me doing

104
00:07:25,280 –> 00:07:29,650
this, and really just being more hyper
aware of what is in our food, what is in

105
00:07:29,650 –> 00:07:32,530
our drinks, is seeing a lot of the sugars.

106
00:07:32,539 –> 00:07:37,359
Just that alone, the sugars that they pump
into our foods and drinks is just insane.

107
00:07:37,629 –> 00:07:38,949
It is literally insane.

108
00:07:39,349 –> 00:07:44,049
I mean, you can have one serving, just
literally one bottle or one serving

109
00:07:44,049 –> 00:07:49,340
of Coke or Pepsi, for example, and
you can literally be going over your

110
00:07:49,349 –> 00:07:53,710
daily recommended intake of sugar in
just that one bottle or one serving.

111
00:07:54,119 –> 00:07:57,974
Because one bottle or a serving has
literally over thirty-six grams of

112
00:07:57,974 –> 00:08:00,834
sugar, uh, for most of the products.

113
00:08:01,015 –> 00:08:04,064
There’s some that might be about
thirty-six, but most of them I’ve

114
00:08:04,064 –> 00:08:07,315
seen are at least thirty-nine
or more for added sugar.

115
00:08:07,375 –> 00:08:10,755
So you’re already at least three
to four grams of sugar above

116
00:08:10,945 –> 00:08:12,755
your daily recommended intake.

117
00:08:13,035 –> 00:08:16,525
So you’re already over that
in one serving of soda.

118
00:08:16,935 –> 00:08:20,944
So just seeing things like
that really just amazed me how

119
00:08:20,945 –> 00:08:22,494
people can be consuming that.

120
00:08:22,524 –> 00:08:26,174
And sometimes people are drinking two
or three of those things or more a day.

121
00:08:26,495 –> 00:08:31,045
So you’re really, you’re really going
well above what you should be having.

122
00:08:31,564 –> 00:08:34,855
Um, I mean, honestly, I believe
that it’s good to cut all added

123
00:08:34,855 –> 00:08:39,895
sugar out, or at least most added
sugars, you know, out of your diet.

124
00:08:39,995 –> 00:08:43,894
Um, maybe have a few grams, like
ten grams, for example, is fine.

125
00:08:44,385 –> 00:08:49,775
I personally don’t go over double digits,
you know, like, or past ten grams.

126
00:08:49,814 –> 00:08:54,484
I do go up to double digits at times, but
I don’t usually even touch double digits.

127
00:08:55,005 –> 00:09:00,009
Uh, from what I actually have experienced
and that being the best way to do it.

128
00:09:00,170 –> 00:09:04,999
So I only recommend maybe going up to
ten grams of sugar for your best results.

129
00:09:05,180 –> 00:09:08,579
Because the less added sugar
you’re putting in your body, the

130
00:09:08,579 –> 00:09:13,149
better you sleep, the better you
focus, the better you can function.

131
00:09:13,249 –> 00:09:19,480
I’ve noticed your mental clarity, your
mental, um, just focus goes a lot higher

132
00:09:19,580 –> 00:09:24,110
and it’s a lot stronger when you’re not
consuming all that added sugar and BS.

133
00:09:24,550 –> 00:09:28,855
Another thing too that I found, uh,
is when you have a lot of, uh, when

134
00:09:28,855 –> 00:09:33,085
you have a lot of sugar, it actually
strips the collagen away from your skin.

135
00:09:33,415 –> 00:09:38,005
And so for those people that are, you
know, really good with their skin and

136
00:09:38,145 –> 00:09:42,015
they take care of their skin, they know
that collagen is essential for looking

137
00:09:42,024 –> 00:09:45,855
younger and keeping that youthful
appearance for as long as you can.

138
00:09:46,215 –> 00:09:50,475
Obviously age is, you know, age
catches up to people, but you can

139
00:09:50,475 –> 00:09:55,225
keep your age at bay, so to speak,
by keeping your collagen intact

140
00:09:55,550 –> 00:09:56,689
more so than not.

141
00:09:57,060 –> 00:10:00,910
And by limiting your added sugar,
that’s just one great way to do that.

142
00:10:01,110 –> 00:10:04,680
Because the more sugar you have, the
more it strips away the collagen,

143
00:10:04,690 –> 00:10:08,409
the more it strips away the collagen,
the older you look, the more wrinkles

144
00:10:08,410 –> 00:10:12,169
you can get, and just those types
of things that are just not the

145
00:10:12,209 –> 00:10:13,739
things that, you know, that we want.

146
00:10:13,829 –> 00:10:19,439
So that’s one other strong benefit
of limiting your added sugar intake.

147
00:10:19,729 –> 00:10:24,580
Not to say all sugar is bad, because you
can have natural sugar, I will say that.

148
00:10:24,690 –> 00:10:28,570
But even with that, natural sugar
found in fruits, like fructose,

149
00:10:28,910 –> 00:10:33,290
I would recommend that over the
added sugar, you know, sucrose.

150
00:10:33,690 –> 00:10:38,940
But when you do that, make sure you still
limit your sugar intake from fruit because

151
00:10:38,970 –> 00:10:40,550
too much of anything is a bad thing.

152
00:10:41,000 –> 00:10:43,880
So making sure you’re, I would
recommend only have two to

153
00:10:43,880 –> 00:10:46,070
four cups of fruit a day, max.

154
00:10:46,320 –> 00:10:49,700
That way you’re not having too much,
especially if you’re diabetic, you

155
00:10:49,700 –> 00:10:51,970
do want to still limit your sugars.

156
00:10:52,040 –> 00:10:56,650
But I have found that diabetics that
I’ve worked with as clients, being a

157
00:10:56,650 –> 00:11:03,099
coach and all, that when they do have
complex carbs and natural sugars, it’s

158
00:11:03,109 –> 00:11:09,199
not as bad for their blood sugar levels
as, obviously, candy is or sweets.

159
00:11:09,470 –> 00:11:13,189
So there is a difference in
quality between the two still.

160
00:11:13,420 –> 00:11:17,339
But it’s still important to know to limit
both, but especially the added sugar.

161
00:11:17,939 –> 00:11:22,390
Uh, beyond sugar, I do want to touch
on, when it comes to nutrition and what

162
00:11:22,390 –> 00:11:25,459
is infusion drinks, limiting salt too.

163
00:11:26,050 –> 00:11:28,260
So sugar and salt, the two S’s, right?

164
00:11:28,739 –> 00:11:29,849
That’s what I like to call it.

165
00:11:29,890 –> 00:11:35,759
And so too much salt, too much sodium,
in other words, that literally is

166
00:11:35,759 –> 00:11:39,119
going to make it a lot easier for
you to get high blood pressure.

167
00:11:39,519 –> 00:11:43,200
It’s going to make you look and feel more
bloated and it’s just not going to be

168
00:11:43,200 –> 00:11:45,439
healthy for you, it’s just not healthy.

169
00:11:45,810 –> 00:11:50,469
And it’s going to dehydrate you, you’re
not going to feel as good and alert

170
00:11:50,509 –> 00:11:52,339
and as energetic as you could be.

171
00:11:52,579 –> 00:11:54,439
And you’re going to feel
a lot more weighed down.

172
00:11:54,439 –> 00:11:56,350
And again, just a lot more bloated.

173
00:11:56,820 –> 00:11:59,620
So a lot of the things that you got
to look out for when it comes to

174
00:11:59,629 –> 00:12:04,399
sodium is eating crackers, eating
like lunch meats from the deli even.

175
00:12:04,619 –> 00:12:08,229
Because when you eat certain foods
like crackers, uh, lunch meat from

176
00:12:08,229 –> 00:12:12,000
the deli that, I’m not going to
lie, that’s usually packed with

177
00:12:12,475 –> 00:12:17,135
hundreds upon hundreds of milligrams
in just that serving of deli meat.

178
00:12:17,215 –> 00:12:22,845
And whether it be chicken, turkey, ham is
probably even worse yet out of the three,

179
00:12:23,114 –> 00:12:28,105
but literally any one of those three,
crackers like Cheez-Its or even just

180
00:12:28,105 –> 00:12:33,195
saltine crackers are notorious for having
a lot of sodium just pumped into it.

181
00:12:33,565 –> 00:12:38,844
So I would definitely make a note and just
make a point to, if you’re going to have

182
00:12:39,005 –> 00:12:45,375
certain foods, maybe certain snacks, to
limit that and opt for low sodium options.

183
00:12:45,665 –> 00:12:49,364
So if you’re going to have deli
meat, that’s not necessarily

184
00:12:49,365 –> 00:12:53,924
unhealthy, but just make sure you
opt for the low sodium, um, kinds.

185
00:12:54,155 –> 00:12:58,235
And ideally ones without nitrates
or nitrites because sodium nitrate/

186
00:12:58,235 –> 00:13:03,430
nitrite, uh, like those can actually
develop, obviously not right away, but

187
00:13:03,439 –> 00:13:06,899
they can develop ultimately into cancer.

188
00:13:07,439 –> 00:13:09,360
And they can be cancer causing agents.

189
00:13:09,890 –> 00:13:12,180
So making sure that you
take note of that too.

190
00:13:12,930 –> 00:13:15,639
Uh, those are often times
found in a lot of meats like

191
00:13:15,649 –> 00:13:17,889
beef jerky, um, and deli meat.

192
00:13:17,889 –> 00:13:22,469
So, sodium nitrate, nitrite, you gotta
be very, very aware of that as well.

193
00:13:22,719 –> 00:13:24,750
So that’s another one
I wanted to point out.

194
00:13:25,140 –> 00:13:27,900
And then obviously,
there’s things like MSG.

195
00:13:28,200 –> 00:13:33,660
Monosodium glutamine and what that does,
for long, what that literally does,

196
00:13:33,660 –> 00:13:35,360
that actually can cause cancer too.

197
00:13:35,360 –> 00:13:39,600
And that’s usually found in things like
salt, could be in other snacks as well.

198
00:13:39,990 –> 00:13:43,170
It does make it taste better,
but it’s not good for you.

199
00:13:43,450 –> 00:13:46,379
So what tastes good isn’t
always good for you.

200
00:13:46,379 –> 00:13:49,540
And usually, I’ve got to be honest,
is usually not good for you.

201
00:13:50,040 –> 00:13:53,420
Not to say you can’t eat healthy and
enjoy what you’re eating and drinking,

202
00:13:53,430 –> 00:13:57,070
you can, there’s a lot of good
healthy things that taste amazing.

203
00:13:57,510 –> 00:14:00,890
But monosodium glutamine is not
something that you want to have

204
00:14:00,890 –> 00:14:02,480
in your food or drinks at all.

205
00:14:02,860 –> 00:14:08,620
So keeping sure that, looking for things
that say no MSG, or if it doesn’t say

206
00:14:08,620 –> 00:14:10,400
that, just look at the ingredients.

207
00:14:11,400 –> 00:14:15,849
When it comes down to it, no matter
the ingredient, just keep a look out.

208
00:14:16,010 –> 00:14:19,719
And what I’ve found to be a good
rule of thumb, a good solid rule

209
00:14:19,730 –> 00:14:23,579
of thumb, is when you look at the
ingredients, if you can’t pronounce

210
00:14:23,579 –> 00:14:27,709
them, and if it’s longer than five
ingredients, it’s not always unhealthy,

211
00:14:27,730 –> 00:14:29,689
but it’s almost always unhealthy.

212
00:14:29,909 –> 00:14:33,839
It’s almost always unhealthy if
it has more than five ingredients,

213
00:14:34,130 –> 00:14:35,270
and you can’t pronounce them.

214
00:14:35,745 –> 00:14:36,845
So that’s another thing.

215
00:14:37,275 –> 00:14:42,225
And one other thing I wanted to bring
up on the ingredients, uh, you know,

216
00:14:42,225 –> 00:14:48,135
train is when you literally look at these
ingredients, if you see things like blue

217
00:14:48,135 –> 00:14:53,235
number five, you know, color blue, or
red number five, red number one, like

218
00:14:53,245 –> 00:14:57,355
all these crazy numbers that you just
can’t, I can’t even remember all of them.

219
00:14:57,355 –> 00:15:00,385
There’s so many of them, but there’s
yellow, there’s blue, there’s red.

220
00:15:00,875 –> 00:15:04,725
But they are literally
not good for your health.

221
00:15:04,735 –> 00:15:07,345
Like they could not be worse
for your health, in fact.

222
00:15:07,705 –> 00:15:11,284
And studies have shown, and this is
actually what affected me, I’m confident

223
00:15:11,295 –> 00:15:15,415
it did when I was younger, cause I
would eat a whole thing of, it’s crazy,

224
00:15:15,515 –> 00:15:19,285
I would eat a whole thing of Twizzlers
and that had a lot of red dyes in it.

225
00:15:19,915 –> 00:15:24,315
And so I would eat a whole package as
a kid and so I’m, I’m a hundred percent

226
00:15:24,315 –> 00:15:27,345
confident that caused some of my ADHD.

227
00:15:27,745 –> 00:15:33,365
Because these artificial colors do cause
certain, you know, mental conditions

228
00:15:33,735 –> 00:15:38,454
and a lot of unwanted, undesired
ones like ADHD and other things.

229
00:15:38,515 –> 00:15:42,714
Obviously, some of it can be
hereditary, but these ingredients

230
00:15:42,714 –> 00:15:46,670
that are in our foods, that are not
good, such as these artificial, you

231
00:15:46,670 –> 00:15:50,420
know, colors that can actually lead
and trigger these things to you.

232
00:15:50,970 –> 00:15:53,450
And oftentimes that’s a lot
of the root cause of it.

233
00:15:53,950 –> 00:15:58,060
So making sure to clean that out of
your diet, and a little fun fact,

234
00:15:58,110 –> 00:16:03,150
these things are banned in Europe and
across the globe for the most part.

235
00:16:03,559 –> 00:16:08,160
It’s mainly in the U S, maybe a few
other countries, but mainly in the U S,

236
00:16:08,170 –> 00:16:13,080
for my understanding, where we’re still
allowing and still permitting these

237
00:16:13,080 –> 00:16:15,230
artificial colors, infusion drinks.

238
00:16:15,240 –> 00:16:16,670
It is, it’s insane.

239
00:16:17,189 –> 00:16:18,030
It really is.

240
00:16:18,880 –> 00:16:19,260
Ed Watters: Yeah.

241
00:16:19,610 –> 00:16:22,770
I like how you laid that
out, it’s very helpful.

242
00:16:22,919 –> 00:16:28,050
That information took me a heck
of a long time to understand.

243
00:16:28,519 –> 00:16:33,849
Diet, you know, a lot of people,
they just want it quick and easy.

244
00:16:33,869 –> 00:16:36,849
McDonald’s or, you know, something fast.

245
00:16:36,879 –> 00:16:38,810
It’s just to eat, right?

246
00:16:39,270 –> 00:16:46,030
So, with, with all of those chemicals
that they add in, I worked in the

247
00:16:46,030 –> 00:16:52,530
food industry for a while and, you
know, I, I’m a certified canner, and

248
00:16:53,585 –> 00:17:00,635
I can tell you, through the process,
there are dangerous things happening

249
00:17:00,645 –> 00:17:04,724
that people aren’t aware of, and
they should be aware of these things.

250
00:17:04,764 –> 00:17:11,855
And it’s even worse now because they’re
trying to drop some of the regulation

251
00:17:11,905 –> 00:17:15,270
that regulates our food industry

252
00:17:15,280 –> 00:17:16,579
and that’s dangerous.

253
00:17:16,579 –> 00:17:21,900
Because it’s already dangerous enough
in those factories, because really

254
00:17:21,900 –> 00:17:28,869
you’re, you’re working with people that
are being paid a low wage to harvest,

255
00:17:28,910 –> 00:17:33,025
produce, and store your food for you.

256
00:17:33,325 –> 00:17:38,275
That’s not food safety, it,
it’s really unsafe in many ways.

257
00:17:38,515 –> 00:17:43,215
So the more that you can do for
yourself, uh, we have a little farm

258
00:17:43,215 –> 00:17:51,135
here, not big, but we try to grow as
much fresh, live foods as possible now.

259
00:17:51,635 –> 00:17:54,905
And stripping all of that out of our diet

260
00:17:55,710 –> 00:18:01,970
was very hard to do because you
want that great tasting food.

261
00:18:01,970 –> 00:18:08,230
And, you know, Well, I don’t want to
eat that, that’s a lettuce, you know?

262
00:18:08,489 –> 00:18:13,669
But I’ll tell you once you start
eating these things, it’s great.

263
00:18:13,689 –> 00:18:19,100
My, my breakfast, you know, consists
of a smoothie, you know, it, it

264
00:18:19,100 –> 00:18:22,330
has measured, measured ingredients.

265
00:18:22,819 –> 00:18:29,999
And every morning we start with
one egg, two pieces of, small

266
00:18:30,320 –> 00:18:32,929
pieces of fish, and a smoothie.

267
00:18:33,249 –> 00:18:35,549
And that is our breakfast.

268
00:18:35,860 –> 00:18:41,220
And we used to eat like
it was going out of style.

269
00:18:41,280 –> 00:18:44,030
Obesity is a big problem in our world.

270
00:18:44,570 –> 00:18:51,784
And with all of that weight on my
small frame, it was just increasing

271
00:18:52,304 –> 00:19:00,894
the, the damage that was happening
to my spine and all of my internal

272
00:19:00,955 –> 00:19:04,944
organs, getting fat on them, you know?

273
00:19:04,954 –> 00:19:09,674
So really understanding what you
laid out there, that these foods

274
00:19:09,674 –> 00:19:15,840
are processed by factories that are
there ultimately for profit and they

275
00:19:15,840 –> 00:19:19,350
don’t care really about what you are.

276
00:19:19,650 –> 00:19:24,880
And they want you to consume as
much of their product as possible.

277
00:19:25,180 –> 00:19:31,280
The MSG that you stated, you know,
not only is it bad and cancerous,

278
00:19:31,830 –> 00:19:34,245
but it makes you want more.

279
00:19:34,345 –> 00:19:37,485
So instead of having one potato
chip, you’re going to have

280
00:19:37,485 –> 00:19:39,185
a whole bag of potato chips.

281
00:19:39,504 –> 00:19:47,274
And the whole United States
is enveloped in this whole

282
00:19:47,504 –> 00:19:50,754
food nightmare and it’s crazy.

283
00:19:51,044 –> 00:19:54,385
How do we get out of it, Roman?

284
00:19:56,385 –> 00:19:56,745
Roman Fischer: Yeah.

285
00:19:56,915 –> 00:19:58,225
It’s nuts, man.

286
00:19:58,245 –> 00:20:01,345
Just like what you were
saying, it’s a nightmare.

287
00:20:01,425 –> 00:20:05,375
And the fact that everyone’s bought into
it, or I don’t want to say everyone,

288
00:20:05,405 –> 00:20:11,294
fortunately, I like to actually say that’s
not the case, but mainly everyone has

289
00:20:11,325 –> 00:20:17,070
fallen victim to and basically become
a slave to the system and how it is.

290
00:20:17,070 –> 00:20:21,330
It’s, you know, profitability
and convenience over

291
00:20:21,490 –> 00:20:23,780
actually humanity and health.

292
00:20:24,469 –> 00:20:28,310
And it’s, it’s just really sad actually
that that’s what it has come to.

293
00:20:29,079 –> 00:20:33,129
I’d say the best way to get out of
it is, first and foremost, and it’s

294
00:20:33,129 –> 00:20:36,679
easier said than done, especially for
most of the people out there that are

295
00:20:36,709 –> 00:20:41,205
in this condition and in the system,
that are still plugged in, so to speak.

296
00:20:41,624 –> 00:20:46,514
Really just first off, uh, being
aware that this is a problem.

297
00:20:46,594 –> 00:20:52,014
Being aware that this is a problem
and just start by taking even,

298
00:20:52,014 –> 00:20:53,604
cause this is what happened to me,

299
00:20:54,135 –> 00:20:59,180
I literally, you know, we all get
busy, but I had that just five

300
00:20:59,190 –> 00:21:04,129
minute break where I was able just
to sit down and just look, sit

301
00:21:04,129 –> 00:21:06,540
down and look at what I was eating.

302
00:21:06,670 –> 00:21:11,199
And I literally was eating it as
I was looking at it and it wasn’t

303
00:21:11,199 –> 00:21:13,719
something healthy from what I remember.

304
00:21:13,999 –> 00:21:18,189
But I, I looked at the ingredient label
and when I did look at that ingredient

305
00:21:18,189 –> 00:21:22,749
label, I just took five minutes out of my
day just to sit down and really analyze,

306
00:21:22,829 –> 00:21:24,360
okay, what am I actually eating though?

307
00:21:24,779 –> 00:21:27,719
I know I’m eating because I’m
hungry and that’s what I’m doing,

308
00:21:27,719 –> 00:21:29,769
but what am I really eating?

309
00:21:30,109 –> 00:21:32,999
Because everyone, when they’re
hungry, they’re like, I’m hungry

310
00:21:32,999 –> 00:21:34,100
so I’m going to eat some food.

311
00:21:34,409 –> 00:21:35,649
Like food is food, right?

312
00:21:35,959 –> 00:21:37,169
But it’s not.

313
00:21:37,229 –> 00:21:42,249
Because when I looked at the ingredient
label, I actually saw a lot of

314
00:21:42,249 –> 00:21:44,320
things that I did not like to see.

315
00:21:44,320 –> 00:21:46,239
Especially when I did the research on it.

316
00:21:46,860 –> 00:21:50,759
So I took even just five minutes, I looked
at that, I really analyzed and scanned

317
00:21:50,759 –> 00:21:54,469
that ingredient list and I looked that up.

318
00:21:54,540 –> 00:21:55,590
I looked that up.

319
00:21:56,110 –> 00:22:00,350
And when I looked that stuff up, man,
I’m telling you, I was sick to my stomach

320
00:22:00,880 –> 00:22:05,020
and I could not eat another bite of
that, what I was eating at that time.

321
00:22:05,735 –> 00:22:09,525
And literally, it is not something
that I ever will do again.

322
00:22:09,945 –> 00:22:13,535
And so, yes, I did have those
cravings even afterwards.

323
00:22:13,585 –> 00:22:16,565
Just because of the ingredients,
like the added sugars.

324
00:22:16,975 –> 00:22:21,014
MSG that is in our foods will,
you know, keep you wanting more.

325
00:22:21,054 –> 00:22:22,545
And that’s part of the whole game.

326
00:22:22,754 –> 00:22:26,024
So they can make more money off
of people instead of just treating

327
00:22:26,024 –> 00:22:30,644
people with good food so they can
be, you know, satisfied or satiated.

328
00:22:30,985 –> 00:22:34,745
They want to give you some food
that can somewhat fill you up,

329
00:22:35,205 –> 00:22:37,135
but then keep you wanting more.

330
00:22:37,524 –> 00:22:40,435
And it’s just more of the same
old poison, more of the same old

331
00:22:40,465 –> 00:22:44,234
toxins, and more of the same old
chemicals by the end of the day.

332
00:22:44,844 –> 00:22:48,690
So as I started really seeing what
I was eating and drinking, and I

333
00:22:48,690 –> 00:22:52,520
analyzed that, that made it a lot
easier to not want to come back to it.

334
00:22:52,699 –> 00:22:56,950
So I strongly encourage everyone out
there that is listening to this, uh,

335
00:22:57,020 –> 00:22:59,920
literally just take five minutes.

336
00:22:59,930 –> 00:23:03,510
I know your life’s busy, I know
most people’s lives are very

337
00:23:03,520 –> 00:23:06,209
hectic and busy and super crazy.

338
00:23:06,759 –> 00:23:09,419
But with that being said, just
take five minutes because we all at

339
00:23:09,419 –> 00:23:10,800
least have five minutes in a day.

340
00:23:11,130 –> 00:23:15,620
So take five minutes, look at what is
in your foods, like what is in your

341
00:23:15,620 –> 00:23:18,000
drinks, look at your ingredient labels.

342
00:23:18,040 –> 00:23:21,980
I strongly encourage you do that, I
strongly encourage that you do that.

343
00:23:22,340 –> 00:23:26,580
And even if your foods and drinks are
pretty healthy, you might still be

344
00:23:26,580 –> 00:23:29,960
buying certain things that aren’t that
healthy and you don’t even know it.

345
00:23:30,499 –> 00:23:33,960
So even just before you buy
some foods at the grocery store,

346
00:23:34,200 –> 00:23:35,570
this is a huge power move,

347
00:23:36,830 –> 00:23:37,820
be selective.

348
00:23:38,300 –> 00:23:41,520
Don’t just buy what you first
see on the shelves because that’s

349
00:23:41,520 –> 00:23:43,270
usually what they want you to buy.

350
00:23:43,300 –> 00:23:46,860
That’s usually the most
unhealthiest things that you

351
00:23:46,860 –> 00:23:49,200
could ever consume, ever buy.

352
00:23:49,419 –> 00:23:51,479
And it’s a double negative,
think of it like that.

353
00:23:51,874 –> 00:23:54,674
Yes, it might be cheaper, but you’re
still paying money for something

354
00:23:54,674 –> 00:23:55,774
that’s going to poison you.

355
00:23:55,774 –> 00:23:58,794
And then in the long run, you’re
actually going to pay more money,

356
00:23:58,794 –> 00:24:02,244
especially if you’re met in a
hospital room at some point.

357
00:24:02,664 –> 00:24:06,804
So making sure that you’re more
selective and more particular

358
00:24:06,845 –> 00:24:10,254
about what you’re buying, so that
way you’ll actually save money.

359
00:24:10,515 –> 00:24:14,725
Cause you might spend a bit more to, you
know, get more quality, healthy foods

360
00:24:14,725 –> 00:24:20,175
and, uh, drinks and things that you can
consume, but in the long run, you’re

361
00:24:20,185 –> 00:24:22,385
very unlikely to be in the hospital then.

362
00:24:22,705 –> 00:24:26,375
And your life’s going to be a lot
better and a lot more quality.

363
00:24:27,010 –> 00:24:30,150
And then from there, you’re going to
spend a lot less money in the long run,

364
00:24:30,350 –> 00:24:31,990
and you’re going to feel a lot better.

365
00:24:32,620 –> 00:24:37,220
And I love this quote too, I forget
who said it, but it’s something along

366
00:24:37,220 –> 00:24:40,980
the lines of, Take care of your body
because you live in it every day.

367
00:24:41,200 –> 00:24:43,659
So literally you live
with yourself every day.

368
00:24:43,670 –> 00:24:47,619
You live in that body of yours
every single day so take care of it.

369
00:24:50,549 –> 00:24:50,879
Ed Watters: Yeah.

370
00:24:51,289 –> 00:24:59,294
So, so how do we add exercise
into this overall plan?

371
00:25:00,145 –> 00:25:05,654
Especially, you know, I’m, I’m older
now and, you know, my activity is

372
00:25:05,654 –> 00:25:12,434
starting to slow down immensely, but
I realize I still need to be active

373
00:25:12,585 –> 00:25:15,534
to keep my overall performance going.

374
00:25:16,144 –> 00:25:23,094
So what amount of exercise should
we actually achieve in a day?

375
00:25:24,945 –> 00:25:25,325
Roman Fischer: Yeah.

376
00:25:25,585 –> 00:25:26,785
Hey, that’s a great question.

377
00:25:27,065 –> 00:25:31,475
I would recommend, especially for people
out there listening that are beginners, I

378
00:25:31,475 –> 00:25:36,424
would recommend that you start, especially
if you’re just starting out, begin with

379
00:25:36,425 –> 00:25:41,285
just three days a week, even two days
a week, just to get yourself going.

380
00:25:41,465 –> 00:25:46,755
So even two to three days a week, just
to start with, you know, time at the gym.

381
00:25:46,845 –> 00:25:52,440
Or even if you don’t have a gym,
maybe you don’t have gym access, maybe

382
00:25:52,440 –> 00:25:55,810
you don’t like the gym, and if those
are the cases, that’s totally fine.

383
00:25:55,820 –> 00:25:59,460
I prefer the gym myself, but
not everyone is a gym goer and

384
00:25:59,460 –> 00:26:00,730
that’s totally understandable.

385
00:26:01,280 –> 00:26:04,179
So if you’re one of those
people, again, totally fine.

386
00:26:04,179 –> 00:26:06,929
I would recommend that
you do at home workouts.

387
00:26:07,389 –> 00:26:10,570
And honestly, those are the
easiest, quickest, most efficient

388
00:26:10,570 –> 00:26:11,960
ones that you could do anyway.

389
00:26:12,430 –> 00:26:16,020
Because you can literally work out
from the comfort of your very own home.

390
00:26:16,450 –> 00:26:19,180
So I recommend that you
do have some equipment,

391
00:26:19,310 –> 00:26:19,940
ideally.

392
00:26:19,940 –> 00:26:23,090
If not, you can still start
with calisthenics, and that’s

393
00:26:23,100 –> 00:26:24,589
still sufficient enough.

394
00:26:24,859 –> 00:26:28,179
You got to be a little bit more creative,
but you can still get the job done.

395
00:26:28,530 –> 00:26:32,670
And you can still get a pretty good,
solid, effective workout in a fairly good

396
00:26:32,670 –> 00:26:34,970
amount of time, just to be totally honest.

397
00:26:35,290 –> 00:26:39,330
So I would recommend that you do
start two to three times a week.

398
00:26:39,400 –> 00:26:43,759
I would still recommend more so
three times a week, even if you are

399
00:26:43,760 –> 00:26:47,829
beginning, because that gives your
body a good amount throughout the week.

400
00:26:47,830 –> 00:26:52,000
And it’s not too much, but it’s
not too, too little, especially

401
00:26:52,000 –> 00:26:52,920
when you’re starting out.

402
00:26:53,415 –> 00:26:56,905
Because I will say this, I don’t
want anyone that is starting their

403
00:26:56,905 –> 00:27:00,854
fitness journey to go from not
working out at all to literally

404
00:27:00,854 –> 00:27:03,725
working out five, six times a week.

405
00:27:04,155 –> 00:27:09,514
I mean, you could do that, but it’s
not very realistic for most people.

406
00:27:09,875 –> 00:27:14,320
I mean, life can get pretty busy anyway,
but also, a lot of people, if you’re

407
00:27:14,320 –> 00:27:18,510
not used to something, it’s going to be
hard to stick to something from going

408
00:27:18,510 –> 00:27:20,980
from zero to six or five days a week.

409
00:27:21,319 –> 00:27:25,659
So literally, just like you can’t go
from zero to a million dollars overnight.

410
00:27:25,850 –> 00:27:30,759
You can’t, you can’t really expect
to not work out at all, like zero, to

411
00:27:30,770 –> 00:27:32,550
literally five to six times a week.

412
00:27:33,249 –> 00:27:35,790
I mean, you could, but most
people are not going to really

413
00:27:36,090 –> 00:27:37,610
commit to that realistically.

414
00:27:37,899 –> 00:27:41,149
So with that, I would say three
times a week, I would advocate

415
00:27:41,520 –> 00:27:43,790
doing full body exercises to you.

416
00:27:44,340 –> 00:27:48,830
That way you’re actually maintaining
and targeting each part of your

417
00:27:48,830 –> 00:27:51,259
body throughout that workout.

418
00:27:51,600 –> 00:27:54,220
And you’re doing that at
least three times a week.

419
00:27:54,880 –> 00:27:58,600
And so when you’re doing that, you’re
targeting all parts of your body.

420
00:27:58,820 –> 00:28:02,110
So that way you’re not having
to do four or five times a week.

421
00:28:02,480 –> 00:28:06,920
And you can still split up those,
um, you know, body parts enough,

422
00:28:06,950 –> 00:28:08,690
but still have them in one workout.

423
00:28:09,389 –> 00:28:13,129
And then just doing that three times
a week from your own home, pushups,

424
00:28:13,260 –> 00:28:15,889
sit ups, pull ups, get a pull up bar

425
00:28:15,889 –> 00:28:19,679
if you need to, uh, you could
also do literally towel rolls.

426
00:28:19,699 –> 00:28:23,955
You could literally get a towel from
your house that’s long enough and that’s

427
00:28:23,965 –> 00:28:28,004
taught enough and you could put it on
top of your door, close the door, have

428
00:28:28,004 –> 00:28:32,715
the, you know, edges of the towel, and
then just literally pull yourself up.

429
00:28:33,284 –> 00:28:38,284
And that’s something I did when I
was gone overseas in Japan, when

430
00:28:38,284 –> 00:28:39,854
I was literally just on vacation.

431
00:28:40,304 –> 00:28:43,695
I could have went to a gym, but
we didn’t have a lot of, you know,

432
00:28:43,695 –> 00:28:45,455
time just to keep going to gyms.

433
00:28:45,485 –> 00:28:47,485
We were always seeing the next thing.

434
00:28:47,485 –> 00:28:52,215
So I literally just made time and
I worked out from my own Airbnb.

435
00:28:52,935 –> 00:28:56,395
But that’s, those are things I
recommend, just work out three times

436
00:28:56,395 –> 00:28:59,335
a week, do full body calisthenics.

437
00:28:59,595 –> 00:29:02,605
If you have resistance bands,
that’s also great to you.

438
00:29:03,194 –> 00:29:06,074
And if you have weights, I would
recommend starting light with your

439
00:29:06,074 –> 00:29:08,234
weight and then working your way up.

440
00:29:08,435 –> 00:29:11,435
You don’t want to start too heavy,
especially if you’re a beginner.

441
00:29:14,415 –> 00:29:20,430
Ed Watters: So do you ever
incorporate isometrics into your day?

442
00:29:21,070 –> 00:29:26,770
Uh, because when you’re sitting around,
you know, even like what we’re doing

443
00:29:26,770 –> 00:29:32,480
right here, you can actually work your
muscles through isometrics and help

444
00:29:32,669 –> 00:29:35,419
maintain that overall performance level.

445
00:29:36,339 –> 00:29:36,719
Roman Fischer: Yeah.

446
00:29:37,229 –> 00:29:37,479
Yeah.

447
00:29:37,479 –> 00:29:41,439
I don’t do a lot of those, but you
could also incorporate that for sure.

448
00:29:41,760 –> 00:29:43,330
That would also be very helpful.

449
00:29:43,870 –> 00:29:47,840
I would also advocate if you’re going
to do certain things like cardio,

450
00:29:48,129 –> 00:29:52,165
that you do, do the cardio if you’re
trying to lose weight to burn some

451
00:29:52,165 –> 00:29:55,865
extra calories, but I would recommend
you keep that more to a minimum.

452
00:29:56,105 –> 00:29:58,205
Focus more so on strength training.

453
00:29:58,660 –> 00:30:02,240
Always focus more on strength
training over cardio, whether you’re

454
00:30:02,560 –> 00:30:04,650
gaining muscle or burning fat.

455
00:30:05,050 –> 00:30:07,460
Because one of those things that a lot
of people do when they’re trying to

456
00:30:07,470 –> 00:30:10,879
lose weight, and they’re just trying
to lose that fat, they’ll literally

457
00:30:10,880 –> 00:30:13,430
go all in and all out on that cardio.

458
00:30:13,800 –> 00:30:17,689
And cardio can help burn calories, can
help lose some weight, and even burn

459
00:30:17,690 –> 00:30:22,520
some fat, but realistically, you’re going
to become more skinny fat doing that.

460
00:30:22,600 –> 00:30:24,970
Because you’re not going to have
any muscle that’s really built

461
00:30:25,000 –> 00:30:27,550
off of that and you’re just
going to lose some of the weight.

462
00:30:27,890 –> 00:30:31,610
But lose a lot of muscle if
you’re only doing a lot of cardio.

463
00:30:31,960 –> 00:30:34,130
So cardio is fine in moderation.

464
00:30:34,805 –> 00:30:39,545
But keep your muscle, um,
growth more of a focus.

465
00:30:39,925 –> 00:30:42,195
And you don’t have to gain a
lot of muscle, you know, when

466
00:30:42,195 –> 00:30:43,205
you do strength training.

467
00:30:43,465 –> 00:30:46,365
But just gaining some of that muscle
during your strength training,

468
00:30:46,755 –> 00:30:49,625
even when you’re in a deficit,
can build a little bit of muscle,

469
00:30:49,625 –> 00:30:51,685
which will actually burn fat.

470
00:30:51,925 –> 00:30:54,745
Because muscle can help speed
your metabolism to burn fat.

471
00:30:55,005 –> 00:30:57,975
So it’ll actually work in
your favor when you focus more

472
00:30:57,975 –> 00:30:59,195
on strength training anyway.

473
00:30:59,810 –> 00:31:03,230
And you’ll burn more calories at
rest that way compared to cardio.

474
00:31:06,080 –> 00:31:12,229
Ed Watters: So do you, do you concentrate
on strength one day and cardio the next?

475
00:31:12,229 –> 00:31:12,699
And,

476
00:31:14,190 –> 00:31:14,520
Roman Fischer: Yeah.

477
00:31:14,530 –> 00:31:15,659
Hey, that’s a good question.

478
00:31:15,690 –> 00:31:20,050
A lot of people, when they’re trying
to do both, they wonder, should I

479
00:31:20,060 –> 00:31:21,699
do them, you know, on the same day?

480
00:31:21,699 –> 00:31:22,810
Should I split them up?

481
00:31:23,310 –> 00:31:28,170
And so I’m going to say this, I would
most recommend you either do have a

482
00:31:28,170 –> 00:31:32,600
day dedicated to weights, uh, or just
strength training of some sort, or

483
00:31:32,600 –> 00:31:37,510
calisthenics, and then have a day,
you know, fully dedicated to cardio.

484
00:31:38,000 –> 00:31:42,980
Um, I would recommend you do that, uh, do
space them out, or if you’re going to have

485
00:31:42,980 –> 00:31:47,019
them on the same day, have your strength
training first, then your cardio after.

486
00:31:47,379 –> 00:31:50,820
But I would ideally wait at
least seven to eight hours.

487
00:31:51,135 –> 00:31:53,885
That way it gives your body
enough time to recover from that

488
00:31:53,885 –> 00:31:55,235
weightlifting and strength training.

489
00:31:55,535 –> 00:32:00,064
To then you can actually have more
of a, you know, um, solid time with

490
00:32:00,064 –> 00:32:03,725
your cardio to burn more calories,
have more endurance that you can

491
00:32:03,725 –> 00:32:07,245
actually get out of and actually a
better cardio session altogether.

492
00:32:07,575 –> 00:32:10,695
And it won’t interfere with your
strength gains, any muscle gains that

493
00:32:10,695 –> 00:32:14,540
you might want to get earlier on to you
with your strength training session.

494
00:32:16,410 –> 00:32:16,600
Ed Watters: Yeah.

495
00:32:16,600 –> 00:32:20,450
A lot of people forget about that
healing time for the muscle after

496
00:32:20,450 –> 00:32:26,060
that intense workout and that’s
important for people to realize.

497
00:32:27,419 –> 00:32:33,140
So is there anything else that
we should understand about our

498
00:32:33,200 –> 00:32:37,090
diet or our overall fitness?

499
00:32:38,840 –> 00:32:39,280
Roman Fischer: Yeah.

500
00:32:40,640 –> 00:32:41,760
Yeah, 100%.

501
00:32:41,800 –> 00:32:46,420
I would also prioritize, this is
important, a lot of people don’t really

502
00:32:46,420 –> 00:32:48,210
pay attention to this part as much.

503
00:32:48,220 –> 00:32:51,659
Maybe when they’re gaining muscle,
they’ll focus more on protein, and

504
00:32:51,659 –> 00:32:54,829
that’s great, but they don’t usually
focus on protein when it comes to

505
00:32:54,830 –> 00:32:56,359
actually losing weight as much.

506
00:32:56,629 –> 00:32:58,369
They just think, Okay, I’ll just eat less.

507
00:32:59,215 –> 00:33:00,975
And that’s part of it.

508
00:33:01,035 –> 00:33:03,295
I mean, yes, you do got to
eat a little less or at least

509
00:33:03,305 –> 00:33:05,205
be in a deficit in some way.

510
00:33:05,425 –> 00:33:09,355
Whether you’re just lowering your
calories to do that or increasing your

511
00:33:09,355 –> 00:33:11,605
activity level or a combination thereof.

512
00:33:11,684 –> 00:33:16,435
Either one can be fine, but when they’re
trying to lose weight, they don’t focus

513
00:33:16,435 –> 00:33:20,844
on having enough protein to maintain
that muscle that they actually had

514
00:33:21,285 –> 00:33:24,255
and that they may have built when
they were bulking or trying to gain.

515
00:33:24,715 –> 00:33:29,035
So if you’re trying to lose weight,
cut fat, burn fat, things like that,

516
00:33:29,505 –> 00:33:31,805
keep your protein intake high still.

517
00:33:32,025 –> 00:33:35,335
So no matter if you’re trying to gain
muscle, if that’s your main objective,

518
00:33:35,695 –> 00:33:39,270
or if you’re trying to mainly burn
fat, no matter which objective you’re

519
00:33:39,280 –> 00:33:43,990
following, mainly, you always want to
have your protein at the highest you can.

520
00:33:44,250 –> 00:33:47,490
I mean, I’m not saying you
should eat 300 grams of protein.

521
00:33:47,570 –> 00:33:51,250
I’m just saying have at least
close to, if not one gram per

522
00:33:51,250 –> 00:33:52,149
pound of your body weight.

523
00:33:52,400 –> 00:33:57,775
Now, you don’t have to have a whole gram
per se, it’s, that is not fully, you

524
00:33:57,775 –> 00:34:00,705
know, necessary or, or required here.

525
00:34:00,815 –> 00:34:02,425
That is not fully required here.

526
00:34:02,835 –> 00:34:05,895
I would only say one gram
per pound of your body weight

527
00:34:06,395 –> 00:34:10,635
if you are super active and you’re,
if you’re lifting super heavy.

528
00:34:11,135 –> 00:34:14,855
But if you’re not too
active, I would recommend 0.

529
00:34:14,915 –> 00:34:17,345
8 grams per pound of your
body weight of protein.

530
00:34:17,835 –> 00:34:21,215
So if you’re lifting heavier
and lifting more weights,

531
00:34:21,434 –> 00:34:22,965
then I would suggest one gram.

532
00:34:23,384 –> 00:34:25,685
And what’s nice about that
too, it keeps it simple, it

533
00:34:25,685 –> 00:34:27,075
keeps it very straightforward.

534
00:34:27,445 –> 00:34:30,700
Because if you’re 170
pounds, that’s pretty easy.

535
00:34:30,700 –> 00:34:34,510
Okay, I get 170 grams of protein
that I need to consume then.

536
00:34:35,220 –> 00:34:41,010
So keeping that simple, keeping that
to your goal is also very crucial.

537
00:34:41,050 –> 00:34:44,889
Whether you’re burning fat, gaining
muscle, keep that protein high.

538
00:34:45,460 –> 00:34:48,720
And then also, I would advocate
you drink at least eight to ten

539
00:34:48,740 –> 00:34:51,040
cups of water a day at least.

540
00:34:51,060 –> 00:34:54,780
And if you’re very active, I
would honestly up it to a gallon.

541
00:34:57,210 –> 00:34:57,910
Ed Watters: Interesting.

542
00:34:58,160 –> 00:35:00,720
So does it matter what type of protein?

543
00:35:00,770 –> 00:35:04,529
Because I hear a lot of
confusion out there about meat

544
00:35:04,560 –> 00:35:06,510
protein, vegetable protein.

545
00:35:06,930 –> 00:35:12,900
And you know, I use pea protein
myself, plus I supplement with a little

546
00:35:12,900 –> 00:35:15,850
bit of fish for that meat protein.

547
00:35:16,679 –> 00:35:18,790
What’s your take on that?

548
00:35:19,680 –> 00:35:20,140
Roman Fischer: Yeah.

549
00:35:20,200 –> 00:35:25,429
My whole take on the protein aspect
of things is as long as you’re hitting

550
00:35:25,429 –> 00:35:29,620
your protein target and it’s clean
protein, then that should be fine.

551
00:35:30,010 –> 00:35:33,360
As long as it fits your macros and
it fits your calories that you need

552
00:35:33,410 –> 00:35:37,930
and hits your protein target for your
macros, then that’s totally fine.

553
00:35:37,980 –> 00:35:40,920
But make sure, again,
that it is clean protein.

554
00:35:41,370 –> 00:35:44,470
Uh, it doesn’t have to be
only white meat or fish.

555
00:35:44,650 –> 00:35:48,029
I would advocate doing more of
that, but if you’re going to have

556
00:35:48,029 –> 00:35:50,060
red meat, make sure it’s grass fed.

557
00:35:50,510 –> 00:35:54,089
And even then I would still have
that grass fed red meat only

558
00:35:54,090 –> 00:35:55,469
a few times out of the week.

559
00:35:56,030 –> 00:35:59,760
But protein powder is fine too,
but make sure it has no added sugar

560
00:35:59,760 –> 00:36:01,680
or very, very little added sugar.

561
00:36:02,100 –> 00:36:06,690
And make sure that you only had maybe a
couple servings of that because too much

562
00:36:06,710 –> 00:36:08,570
of that too, you can have a lot of sodium.

563
00:36:09,010 –> 00:36:12,870
So making sure you’re getting more
of your proteins from literally

564
00:36:12,870 –> 00:36:18,139
just fish, uh, you could have
eggs, chicken, things like that.

565
00:36:18,210 –> 00:36:22,180
Grass fed meat, again, three to four
times a week, it’s totally fine to you.

566
00:36:23,060 –> 00:36:23,460
Ed Watters: Yeah.

567
00:36:24,360 –> 00:36:29,260
So I, I recently cut basically
all red meat out of my diet and

568
00:36:29,260 –> 00:36:31,300
I replaced it with black bean.

569
00:36:31,920 –> 00:36:33,540
What’s your thought on that?

570
00:36:33,910 –> 00:36:35,979
Roman Fischer: I’d say that’s,
hey, as long as you’re getting

571
00:36:35,979 –> 00:36:37,570
your protein in, that’s fine.

572
00:36:37,860 –> 00:36:42,620
Um, I will say though, if you do like
red meat, not to say you can’t have it.

573
00:36:42,630 –> 00:36:47,360
So I would just recommend when you do
have red meat, only grass fed red meat

574
00:36:47,410 –> 00:36:48,780
because you don’t want those hormones,

575
00:36:49,090 –> 00:36:51,100
you don’t want those antibiotics.

576
00:36:51,130 –> 00:36:53,420
So I got to say that a hundred percent.

577
00:36:53,850 –> 00:36:58,570
But in that still, I would recommend you
only have three to four times or three to

578
00:36:58,570 –> 00:37:00,740
four servings of that in a week, still.

579
00:37:01,095 –> 00:37:04,005
Because too much of
anything’s not good for you.

580
00:37:04,565 –> 00:37:07,535
And also that saturated fat,
you don’t want to have too much

581
00:37:07,535 –> 00:37:09,795
saturated fat in your diet anyway.

582
00:37:12,065 –> 00:37:12,495
Ed Watters: Yeah.

583
00:37:12,975 –> 00:37:17,885
Yeah, we’re, we’re getting a lot of
good advice here today with you, Roman.

584
00:37:18,225 –> 00:37:21,534
And, and that’s very
beneficial in many ways.

585
00:37:21,884 –> 00:37:27,114
So tell us about how people work
with you and tell us about your

586

Roman Fischer: Definitely.

588
00:37:32,120 –> 00:37:36,840
So yeah, I help people burn fat,
gain muscle, strength, flexibility,

589
00:37:36,910 –> 00:37:41,379
improve their focus, sleep,
and also their overall mindset.
