Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Are you tired of working out all
the time just to lose a few pounds
and realize it's not working?
Then you need the
E.I.F. diet.
So many people think that
eating carbs or not eating carbs
or doing keto
or going vegetarian is the way to go
but I have the perfect
solution for you.
Three letters.
E.I.F. I'm so confident
that this solution will work for you.
I'm going to cut the price of my new program in half
just for you.
Actually, this is a one-time
offer that can
only be used today.
If you don't buy this right now
you'll have to pay
10,000% more
at a later date.
I'm basically going to save you thousands
of dollars and all you have to do
is buy my book.
Let me explain this to you. Let me make this clear.
With this program, you'll never
have to worry about losing
weight again. In fact,
we have over a billion people
who successfully tried this program.
One billion
people. Here's how it works.
On off days, you can eat
anything you want over the course
of the program and you won't
gain a pound.
Not a single pound. I'm talking about
anything you want. It could even
be a slice
or ten
of some extra cheese pizza from
Pizza Hut. Enjoy it
to your heart's content.
That is good. Or how about
America's beverage?
Coca-Cola. Right here.
That's what I'm talking about.
You know, people, they bend over
backwards. They count calories.
They constantly weigh themselves.
They fret about what to eat
and what not to eat. But I'm telling you,
this is going
to work. You're going to
save at the grocery store. Cook prep.
And let me promise you this.
No one will ever steal your meals
at work again.
This program works so great
your neighbors will be able
to smell your weight loss.
Literally smell it.
In fact, this program is so effective
it's even caused second-degree
weight loss for the first time
in recorded history.
Those around you, while you're on
this program, will notice a sharp
decrease in appetite and even
immediate results.
Now, of course, for the program to
work, you need to buy my new book
which will help you craft your meals.
Because if you've been listening
this long, I've decided
to reward you. And here's what I'm going to do.
Since you've listened up to this point,
I'm going to discount this offer
right now by another
85%.
Now, many of you are wondering what
this could be, what it is that I'm talking about.
Well, I'm going to give you a little taste of
this amazing EIF program
right now. Step one,
eat anything and
everything you want. Honestly,
just eat up whatever it is that you
like. Like I mentioned earlier,
as much pizza
as you'd like
with extra cheese. Mmm, mmm, mmm.
Who doesn't love that?
It's good stuff.
You can have America's soda,
America's drink, Coca-Cola.
Eat and drink to
your heart's content.
Whatever it is
that you want.
Now, the second step is very
important. Once you've added
all those unwanted
pounds from eating every greasy
sugar-filled delicious carb you like,
you implement the E
I F, which stands
for this.
Eat Indian
food. You say,
well, that can't work. It really
is that simple, folks. I mean, have you ever
seen a fat Indian?
I haven't. You know, people
in India, they've been following this successful
program for centuries, and the pounds
melt right off.
The curry smell alone
has led to dramatic results,
causing all who smell its fat
saving power to lose
their stomach, running away,
screaming, causing, by the way,
as a result, an intense
HIIT workout.
In fact, some people just skip
meals altogether when this kind
of food is their only
option.
I'm so confident you'll lose
weight. I have a 300 minute
money-back guarantee
that if you don't like our program, we'll give
you back 100% of the money
of your money, I should say,
in curry sauce.
Honestly, it's a win-win.
If you're skeptical of this program
or other fad diets, and you
look to the Bible for
dieting advice instead,
then it's obvious to me
that you have
the Baptist bias.
I'm not going to
do this.
I'm going to do this.
I've heard of something totally wacky
called the clay diet.
Which I can explain later if you want.
There's juicing.
People will go on juice cleanses
where they literally eat no
solid food for a period of time.
Gerson therapy.
There's a bunch of them out there.
Have you heard of a Daniel fast?
Or a Daniel diet?
I actually haven't heard of that one.
I guess it's like they're trying to go from the Bible
and say that Daniel didn't
eat any of the king's meat so they just do
a vegetable only diet or something weird.
There you go.
What about, I've heard
on the juicing one, I've heard
only carrots. Carrot juice.
I have heard of that one as well.
I would imagine that turns you pink.
I've heard of Hollywood diet.
Have you heard of the Hollywood diet?
I think it's just like lemonade and cayenne pepper.
Okay.
So how to die of starvation?
I don't know.
Veganism, did you bring that up already?
I mean that's the big one.
Yeah, vegan. There's vegetarian.
There's all kinds of different options out there.
It's hard to keep up.
It is. And they come up with new ones.
Every once in a while they come up with new ones.
Now,
for the show, we'd like to
if you want to call in this evening, we're going to
have the phone lines open
and we'll take some calls. Maybe you can share with us
your fad diets,
things you've tried, your opinion.
We've got our Baptist bias
number up there.
231-BAPTIST
or 227-8478
Call in 231-BAPTIST
and we'll see if we can get you
on the show here in a little bit.
But I do want to
first just kind of talk
about just a general
my general perspective on diets.
I kind of want to get your feedback on this.
My view is that when it comes to
diets, you could probably
find a nutritionist,
a dietitian, or a medical
doctor who will endorse
every single view
that exists, including
completely
dichotomy-like style diets.
Ones that are the exact opposite of each other.
Just each end
of the spectrum, every
angle, just complete
opposite style diets. You'll have
all kinds of dieticians, all kinds
of nutritionists, all kinds of medical professionals
who will endorse
virtually every view that
exists. I mean, is that
a fair assessment?
What do you think about that?
I think that's part of the medical industrial complex.
In the sense that they'll
kind of cast a wide net
in order to enrich themselves.
I hate to say that, but
it's true. It's kind of the state of
things right now in the health industry.
Well, it just seems like
when it comes to dieting,
nutrition, a lot of these
areas of study and research,
people kind of
sometimes just want a doctor that's going to tell them
what they want to hear. And so because
there's an appetite to hear everything,
there ends up becoming these
medical professionals or
articles, videos on virtually
every diet that could possibly exist.
You even see crazy things
talking about increasing
carbs or sugar.
Obviously, for the most part, people are kind of
against processed foods and sugar.
But generally speaking, it seems like
almost every variation
of a diet, whether that's
pro-dairy against dairy,
pro-meat against meat,
pro-vegetable against vegetable,
pro-bread against bread,
pro-milk against milk,
pro-egg against egg.
Almost everything
is there's someone out there
that's going to be against, you know, pro-fish
then there's anti-fish.
There's a lot of variations,
pro-salt against salt.
It just seems like there's a lot
out there and I think one
trap that someone could fall into
is they research
just kind of one opinion
and they think because they find some
doctors or nutritionists that support this,
oh, everybody thinks
this is right or everybody agrees with this
and it kind of can allow them
to just get locked into
a particular
echo chamber.
Absolutely.
And I don't blame people for
maybe asking
the question, well, what do I do then?
Let's say they come to the realization
that the
perspectives on dieting
are eclectic.
Then the question is, okay, well, who do I trust?
Right? I mean, what advice should I
take if there's so many
conflicting perspectives
out there, which one
is right?
Someone in the chat said, if the mainstream
is saying not to eat it, then eat it.
I think that's a decent rule of thumb.
That might be some of the best
dieting advice I've heard in a while.
Absolutely.
Here's the thing. I think that
even you have crazy
things being said, like eating
crickets.
Is that the Klaus Schwab diet?
Yeah, I think that there's a
big agenda to eat bugs and to eat
all kinds of crazy things.
Really, if you go outside of America,
which I'm kind of limited
in my knowledge when it comes to diets
within American cuisine, but
obviously, from an international
perspective, it's crazy out there.
Oh, Communist China.
You could eat monkeys.
What is the thing called?
I'm going to mispronounce it probably,
but it's like a
brew or something. It's like an egg
that
actually had a bird
inside of it.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
I've never heard of this before in my life.
Let me guess. Chinese.
No, I think it's when everybody goes to the Philippines.
They eat this weird delicacy, I suppose.
I've never heard of this before.
We need to look this up.
While you do that,
I'd like to give a quick shout out
to those of you in the chat room.
There's a YouTube 100 in there.
Azizat, Jay Tankson,
Pastor Aaron Thompson,
Samuel Kirkhab,
S.J. Mokilla,
Jennifer Fortney. Thank you for
joining us live in the chat room.
The podcast airs Tuesday
nights at 8 p.m. Central.
Join us every single week and
participate in the chat room.
It's a party in there.
We have this person, Despues de la Tribulación.
What is this?
Balut?
That sounds like an Arabic word.
Balut.
Balut. It's a food in the
Philippines consisting of duck
eggs incubated
almost to the point of hatching and then
boiled. So
they eat
like it looks like a real
bird, but just kind of like
before it's hatched in
this egg.
It looks crazy. I'm just
going to say from my perspective it
looks crazy.
Samuel says in the chat room
balut, I don't know if I'm pronouncing
it right, balut, whatever.
I'm going to say balut. Balut is
a duck egg with an
embryo inside.
And the person
also says balut is a Filipino
word. There also
is an Arabic word which means something totally different
which is why I pronounced it that way.
Yeah, it's a Filipino word.
It's a Filipino delicacy. And maybe
if I ever go out to visit our friend
brother Matthew Stuckey
he could take me to a Filipino
restaurant and I can try this thing out
for myself.
You know, I personally like to
try foreign
foods, even
foods that are weird for our
culture. But I will draw the line somewhere.
Let me just say that.
And some of the stuff I see coming out of Communist China
I'm drawing the line.
Obviously it's not balut.
What is it? Oh yeah, I'll try balut.
Sure, why the hell not?
Or Indian food for you. I'll try Indian.
Okay, give us
what is your take on Indian, what do you like
in the Indian food?
Curry,
chicken tikka masala,
samosas,
those, I mean that's my
top three. You know, samosa sounds like
something different whenever you say that.
What does it sound like?
Like a samosa is like an
alcoholic beverage. But I had
to look it up. It's like an
A. It's like samosa.
Samoso. Yeah, that's the orange juice
with the alcohol. But that's a
different word, isn't it?
It's like a homonym. It almost sounds like the exact
same thing.
Yeah, Indian food,
here's the reality. What is a
samosa? Tell us.
I had to look this up. There's meat
inside of it. It's like covered with flour.
Does it look like an empanada?
You know what?
Can we get a samosa
put on the screen?
I don't know what it
you're going to crucify me for this. I'm not sure
what an empanada looks like.
Oh, there we go.
Yeah, it does. Yes, it does look like an empanada.
Yeah.
I just
We're making our production
team sweat over here. No, samosa and empanada
look very similar. If I'm going
to compare the two.
Mimosa is the alcohol, by the way.
Our chat room is just carrying the show tonight.
We got to go to
an Indian theater. That's right.
For the premiere of The Bab's Bias.
That was awesome. And we walked
in, they said, how are you doing? I didn't know
you were going to be here today.
What kind of movie are you showing?
Would you like a really good samosa?
Love Indian, by the way.
That's not me mocking. I love all
Indian people. Hey, you know
what? We're just we're appropriating their culture.
That's it. We're embracing the culture.
Absolutely. And I
think we're going to get samosas pulled up here on the screen for
a second. Here we go. There it is.
Does that not look good?
I mean, does that not
make you want to repent of whatever
distaste you have for
Indian food right there? It is mouth
watering. What's safe about this is I can't
smell it. So, you know,
you can't smell the curry from here.
But it certainly will
change your appetite.
You know, when I knock on doors, you know, we go
out soul winning. When we knock on an Indian
door and they open it up and then you get
that sweet... Are you tired of working
out all the time? Indian food, as I hear
myself for some reason. But anyway,
you get that sweet Indian
smell,
the Indian food smell, excuse me,
the Indian food smell that
you get when you go out soul winning. It just gets me
that much more hyped up to preach
the gospel. Well, what
I would like... Can we get... Let's get some
ballot on the screen because I don't want people
to miss out on this really
important delicacy. Okay, it looks like that's
in progress. We talked about it
and... Is it ballot? That's how you say it?
I think it's balut.
Balut. I think I looked at the
pronunciation, so... That sounds so
Arab. But
look at this thing. I mean, it's
it's kind of bizarre.
What in the world? Yeah, it's
like I was watching people
eat it and I thought it was like
you know, they're forcing someone to eat something
that's terrible. But apparently
people like it or it's like a delicacy
or something like that. So
you know, you never... Hey, I mean,
I'll try it. New diet. New fad diet.
Balut and samosas. Balut and samosas.
You know, we should start our own...
It's part of the EIF program.
EIF program. That's it.
And F could also stand for Filipino.
Well, you have to admit
if you had some balut, I
doubt very many people would steal your lunch.
Probably not. Especially domestically.
So...
You know, here's the thing.
I mean, you can make fun of all you want, but we
said it on the onset.
I mean, I haven't seen a fat
Indian. And
you know what? You might look at that and say that's because
the food sucks. I might look at that and say that's
because the food doesn't contain
as many additives
and as much gross
grease and things of that
nature that you would get in the United
States. Well, I
kind of have a personal theory that
the countries that have the best
food are going to be the fattest, generally
speaking. And that's why
America is so fat, is because the food
is so good. And you look at
a country like India,
you know, not really the top of the
cuisine list. That's why
they're definitely not putting on the pounds.
But you know, you think about Mexican food, Italian
food. These are some of the best
cuisines. And
you know, arguably, it's a lot of
you know, a lot of size
behind these countries.
Hey, if you're going to go with that theory, then
that's true. And I really
think the difference between us is really
simple. I'm kind of
like an all are welcome kind of guy
on food. Ecumenical.
Yeah, you could say that. You could say that.
I'm not ashamed. You know, I like
to enjoy many different
ethnic foods
whereas... It's kind of like having no
standards or like a city
without walls.
You know, I'm just not an open
immigration policy. You could say
that if you'd like. There's all these great analogies
for it. I'm not a Fox News Baptist
such as yourself. Right.
Well, obviously, there's pearly gates to get into
heaven because we reject some
people into heaven. And that's
how I take my cuisine, is that we have
pearly gates surrounding
and protecting our cuisine
palate. And we only allow that which
is holy and righteous to enter in.
Gotcha. You know, like the Texas
brisket, ribs,
things of this nature. Things that have been sanctified
by the word of God with prayer.
So, before we
monologue too long, let's get
into some of our diets
here that we have.
We have a bunch on our list.
Actually, you're going to bring up obesity. Bring up your obesity
segment before we get into these diets.
Yeah, I mean, it didn't take too long
to find this statistic, but
a Harvard study concluded
that
I'll just quote it for you. A closer look at the
US numbers in adults showed
roughly two out of three
US adults
Excuse me. All that coke and pizza
coming back up. Roughly two out
of three US adults are overweight
or obese, which would equate
to 69%
and one out of three
are obese,
36% of the
population. Also,
from Harvard, obesity leads to
type 2 diabetes, coronary
artery disease, stroke,
cardiovascular death,
even a link between obesity
and cancer was found in this study.
It could also cause infertility
and depression. So, if those sound
enticing to you,
then you might as well get
as obese as possible. But the point
of bringing that up is just to show
what our population is struggling
with. Yeah, I mean, obviously,
obesity abounds in
our country, and it's probably for a lot of reasons.
Number one, we have a lot of great food options.
We have an abundance of food.
But, you know, as the Bible also talks about an
abundance of idleness, it seems like Americans,
they don't really have to struggle for food.
We don't have to really work that hard.
And even, honestly, our
homeless population is probably
fatter and has more obesity than
the vast majority of countries
in this world.
And so, you know, because
of obesity, though,
it leads to a lot of other issues.
A lot of issues. And so, consequently,
people are looking for quick
and easy options.
Even if it's sometimes
a little harder, they're looking for quick
options to alleviate
this problem. And so, they're turning
to bad diets,
which is the topic
of our conversation tonight.
Now, you know,
what's interesting to me is every time I get on
Facebook or YouTube or any of these things,
I always see this ad of
this guy who's, like,
hanging on
some jungle gym
and pulling weights or something
like this, and he's, like, eating pizza
and he's just like,
you know, you want to get ripped like me?
Well, you know, it's not running.
It's not doing workouts.
It's not eating, you know,
these weird diets or
whatever. You know, get my
program and I'll tell you all about it.
Click this link and take a quiz or something like that.
I feel like I see this ad everywhere.
Do you kind of know what I'm talking about?
I know it. So, I actually
think we have a clip that I
found on Facebook, and this one
actually includes, like, a couple girls in it, too,
or something, but it's some ad where
they're basically advertising the same thing.
Let's see if we can play that clip.
This is how to get in shape fast.
Cardio burns fat, right?
No.
Cardio actually burns calories
usually in the form of carbs in the bloodstream
that are then replaced with the very next
meal that you eat and stored as more fat.
This is why when you even eat low calorie
foods or run for an hour a day,
it seems like you get softer, but you don't
actually lose weight, and this is one
of the biggest reasons why most weight loss attempts
fail within the first three
weeks. If you think that I don't eat carbs,
you're wrong. If you think that I spend
three hours in the gym a day and I do regular
steady-state cardio all the time, you're wrong.
That ain't how you lose weight. Worst part about that
was we couldn't skip the ad. Yeah.
That would have been nice.
So, again,
I only play the ad, not
because I agree with it at all,
but just simply because it's just like
you can't escape this. I feel like I see it
everywhere all the time. Have you
seen this kind of ad? I have seen this ad
many times. I just, I feel like I see
this ad all the time, and it's just,
it's like everywhere. It's not even just on Facebook.
It's on YouTube all the time.
Well, since we were doing the show, I decided I was going to
click the link, and so,
then it took me to this
Indian website where they wanted my Social Security
number. No, I'm just kidding.
No, I clicked the link. I took their little quiz
or whatever, and then I started watching this guy's
video, and it's
funny because the video's like 20 minutes
long, and it's
literally just that
two minutes for 20 minutes.
It's just like, we're about to tell
you the greatest secret
of how you're going to get so
fit, and we're about,
I mean, we're almost going to give it to you.
We're about to give it to you.
It's going to happen.
It's just like, it's the most annoying
ad video,
and... Which is why it
took me so long to get to my point
when I was playing the character at the
analog. Of course. So,
the ad itself,
you know, is an
advertisement to buy their program. It's called
Ripped in 90 Days.
It's like $57.
But you have to buy it now. Have to.
He actually said in the video that I was watching,
he said, this is only a one
hour promotion.
You have one hour. You have an hour. I checked it
every single day. It's the same price. Same price. So I don't know
what happened, but maybe it's a
glitch. I was just lucky. That's it.
That the price was,
it's kind of like JC Penney's one day
only sale
that they had every day. Every single day.
It was every day
that ends in Y.
$57, not that much, honestly.
I mean, if you got results
out of it, I mean, it is what it is, right? There's a lot of
dieting programs, Weight Watchers,
these type of programs that cost a lot more
money than $57. But he
essentially broke it down, and he said
there's three steps for
his weight loss program. Number one
is he said
tut. It's called
time under tension. So whenever you do a workout,
instead of just maximizing reps,
trying to do them really quick, he says you got
to do time under tension, which is
essentially more of
stress and taking longer on your
reps.
Supposedly that's going to increase
the muscle mass
in your workouts. The second thing
he brought up is called
carb cycling. Now, again, none of these things are
unique to him or they invented.
He's just simply repackaging
a lot of dieting tips,
things that are out there. Carb cycling, you could
even look it up. People will tell you exactly
what it is. Essentially, carb cycling,
you have a high day,
maybe a medium day based on his program
or a low day of carbs,
but they just set a certain number
of calories per day that you're going to have.
It's just to say an arbitrary number 2000.
And
on a high carb day,
a large percentage of those, maybe about
1200 of those have to be carbs.
And then on a low carb day, it's
more 200 or 300, maybe 400
carbs is
the percentage of that 2000
that you can have. And supposedly the science behind
it is
that your body needs
carbs just in general
and whenever you're not giving it
carbs, your body thinks it's
in a starvation mode and starts trying
to store
every single food item it gets.
And so even though you're at a calorie
deficit or whatever, it's just going to pack
on pounds anyways. This is
the supposed science behind it.
I'm not
going to give my comments on whether I think
that's 100% true or not.
It sounds like there's probably some level
of legitimacy to that. Obviously
there's probably a lot of factors. Then the third thing
is just HIIT, which is called High Intensity
Interval Training. And essentially
instead of going running for
an hour on the treadmill, like he was kind of
alluding to, it's more that you would do like
sprints, jumping jacks,
some kind of like extremely
high exercise
routine for a shorter duration.
And the supposed idea
behind this is that when you
recover, so because you're
going to be like huffing and puffing,
that you're going to have a lot
more burnage even
after you do the workout. So essentially
because you've
done so much intensity,
it just keeps burning and
gives you some kind of extra benefit to it.
And I think HIIT's a pretty popular
term out there when it comes
to exercising. But instead of paying
$57, hey, there you go.
Instead of watching the 20 minute
video, instead of watching all these people
show off their bodies and whatever
and tell you how they lost so much
pounds and they look all good now
or something. Some of those pictures were weird because
there's one where it's like a girl
who looked like it was supposed to be a
before and after pic and she looked the exact
same. So I don't even know what they were
trying to show.
It's like those Alex Jones, this is kind of off topic,
but Alex Jones will have before and after pictures
where before
he kind of looks a little
overweight, a little bit
fatter, and then after
he looks the exact same.
It looks like he sucked in his stomach.
Obviously
super meal vitality clearly works.
Brainforce Plus.
Well, if he's on all these drugs
or supplements, I'm sorry, not drugs,
he's on all these supplements,
why does he keep looking
unhealthier every year? He does get
bigger and bigger every year.
Well, I guess the supplements don't work if
you're gorging on
chili
in between shows and all the other crazy
stuff that he does. Chili? Yeah, there's stories
of him like in between shows just gorging
on a giant plate of chili. Is that a new diet?
Chili diet?
Does it have beans in it though?
Probably. That's the problem.
See, if he hadn't had the beans... Got rid of the beans
he wouldn't get so big every...
That's your solution
Alex Jones, if you're listening to this podcast,
which we know you are, get the beans
out of the chili. That's right.
And you won't be so
large. Somebody called into
his show one time actually and called him out on it.
Said, hey man, you're getting bigger and bigger every year.
What did he say?
He was like, you know what, yeah,
that's true. I'll try to do better.
Next caller.
I'm surprised he didn't say, I can't hear you.
Just connected.
Well, of course,
we want to talk about a few of these diets.
And again, I'm not going to claim to be an
expert on every single diet
program that's out there because
like I said, there's a
multiplicity of them.
But what I think is important is to always
balance any diet program
with the Bible itself.
And I believe that
your diet advice should come from the word of God
in every area.
And I see some people getting into these weird
extremes where
they will
pretty much forbid some
type of item the Bible prescribes.
And that really irritates
me. Just to give a personal testimony,
but we had
a pediatrician that
me and my wife were going to.
And this is actually our second pediatrician for
our first child.
The first pediatrician dropped us because we wouldn't
get injected with
all different kinds of poisons.
But because of that,
insurance won't carry you so we get dropped
so that we go to this more homeopathic
type pediatrician.
And sometimes
they're weird.
Most of the time.
And this homeopathic pediatrician
is trying to tell us how evil
milk is.
And she's trying to suggest that somehow
we're like bad
for drinking milk.
And just not just us.
Any human. She says we're the
only species
that drinks other species
milk.
She's like, you know, you don't see cows drinking
other species milk. They drink their own
milk. And she was like
acting like we're somehow bad.
Because we drink other species milk.
And I'm thinking, there's
some species, if we're
going to use these stupid words, there's some species
that only eat grass and I eat them.
So how does that work?
I mean this type of logic
is certainly not biblical.
And she was basically condemning my wife
for drinking milk.
Because my wife drinks a lot of milk. I mean that's like
one of her favorite beverages.
And I love milk. But because we're going
to this pediatrician,
this pediatrician is almost giving her
a little bit of worry, just a little bit
of frustration about the fact that she loves
milk. And I
was just thinking like, you know what, we're
going to this pediatrician. It's not really benefiting
anything. We're just measuring
the baby that's perfectly healthy.
The Bible says they that behold me, not a physician.
And I'm like, we're done.
We just never went back ever again.
And honestly it was great. Because
it really wasn't benefiting us.
We're getting a lot of bad advice.
A lot of bad ideas planted into us.
And you know the Bible
is very clear that milk is
good. I mean there's a lot of verses I could pull up
or think about. Obviously
we have the land flowing with milk and honey.
Which is considered the promised
land. But there's another one in Proverbs
that I think
kind of a very clear verse on
this particular issue. But Proverbs 27
verse 27, the Bible says
and thou shalt have goats milk enough
for thy food, for the
food of thy house and for the maintenance of
thy maidens. So the Bible says that thou
shalt have goats milk enough for thy
food. It doesn't say for their food.
It doesn't say for the
goats food. It says for thy food
and the food of thy household.
So there's nothing wrong
with me
having goats milk.
Or even better,
cow's milk. Right.
Even better. I agree with that.
And I'd like to know what the alternative is. So just
no milk at all. Because
obviously she's not going to prescribe that you
as an adult drink
you know a different type of
milk that would come from humans. I think yeah
like almond milk. Oh okay.
Is that something that the
some kind of yeah maybe like almond
milk or I think there's a couple different
milks like that. Well I mean you look at
in Genesis chapter 18
and verse number
seven in the word of God
the Bible says and Abraham
ran unto the herd. This is when the
Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre
and Abraham ran unto the herd
and fetched a calf tender and good
and gave it unto a young man and he hasted to dress
it and he took butter and milk
and the calf which he had dressed
and set it before them
and he stood by them under the tree
and they did eat. So you have
in Genesis chapter 18
Abraham literally serving
the Lord and angels
milk.
I mean if it's really that horrifying
according to this pediatrician
I'd love to know why the word of God would
reference it in that way.
And then you have Hebrews chapter 5 verse 12
and when for when
I'm sorry for when for the time
ye ought to be teachers ye have need
that one teach you again which be the first
principles of the oracles of God and are become
such as have need of milk
and not of strong meat.
Yes it's being used figuratively
I mean I understand that. But what's it
a figure of? What does it
symbolize? Well
how about the word of God?
How about the very words of God
that we live by?
And you know if
my Bible I mean if the
word of God is
used to typify
or I'm sorry milk is used to
typify the word of God
and if carnal truths are used
to expound on spiritual truths
I'm going to conclude
that milk is a
good thing. I don't think it's a logic
it's a leap of logic
to come to that
conclusion. Yes meat is
also used to symbolize the word of God and I
would say that the milk of the word or
some of the more basic truths
that you find in Scripture.
But either way it
symbolizes the Bible
it symbolizes the word of God the more
basic truths that you find in Scripture
and so for that reason I would look
at it and I would say I'm going to drink milk
and I'm going to like it and there's nothing
wrong with that. Now I do
want to bring this up because
you know when we talk on the subject
of milk there's kind of this
big divide
between some people who like raw
milk versus
pasteurized
milk or the
ultra pasteurized milk especially
if you're going to buy organic milk
my family and I actually
buy a lot of organic milk and
typically I think the only option
is like an ultra
pasteurized milk
which the process of pasteurization
is you know pretty simple
just boiling the milk
to a really high temperature to try
and destroy all bacteria
that's
in the milk and then
provide it that way
obviously it's cooled back down
for consumption. Yet
a lot of people would say well boiling
the milk kills
all of the good
all of the good bacteria
that's in the raw milk
and you know from my
perspective I'm not going to disagree
with the idea that there's
potentially good bacteria
in the raw milk
but I don't really like the
idea of someone demonizing
the idea of pasteurized milk or thinking that
somehow it's wrong because think about
think about this verse and I know it's not
exactly
the primary interpretation of the verse
but I want to get your thoughts on this
the Bible says
the thou shalt not see
the kid in his mother's milk
okay now
this verse is
certainly a prohibition so of course
you know the first application
is a prohibition on
seething
just a literal interpretation you shouldn't
take a baby goat and cook it
in its mother's milk
now this prohibition though
I don't believe it's prohibiting
you on seething a kid
you know cooking a kid and
eating it obviously throughout the
Bible you have lots of people killing kids and eating them
there's certainly not a
which a kid is yeah there's certainly not a
prohibition on what's a kid
a kid is a baby goat let's
define a child goat
there's also certainly not a prohibition on
goat's milk as we evidenced
and you know I brought up another verse on that
so to me the
only prohibition here is
simply seething a kid in his mother's milk
but why would even bring up
this particular process
of seething milk
like boiling milk if that's somehow bad
or something like I don't think that
seething milk is a bad
thing and if you think about it especially
in our world and culture
today I mean you go to these
farms you have all these
cows ranging
possibly a lot of them could have actual
sicknesses they could have diseases
you can't always necessarily monitor
them to know
there could possibly be contaminants
that get in to the
dairy or into the milk
when they're being processed
you know
is there a pro
con to having actually boiled
the milk just to try and prevent
some kind of contaminant or something
bad from getting in there
and you know a lot of people hey if you have one
cow and it's your dairy cow and you
milk that thing obviously you could probably
feel pretty good about the raw milk
and a lot of people really like the cream
that comes with raw milk
I'm not necessarily saying I'm against that
but you know if I'm getting this from a factory
if I'm getting this from a big farm
a big conglomerate that's producing tons and
tons of milk the idea of them pasteurizing
it doesn't really sound bad
to me it sounds like a good idea
I mean I don't know what your thoughts are
on this particular issue
Well I drink just the normal pasteurized
milk myself
however I did try raw
milk one time and I thought it tasted
really really good
I think that there's very strong proponents of raw
milk who make some good points
I'm just not a subject matter expert
but what I've heard
is that some of the bacteria
that's boiled away
during the pasteurization
this is actually beneficial for you
in that
so for that reason
some would point to the raw milk
and say well that's way better because it
includes the things that the pasteurized
milk doesn't
during that process it ends up
vanishing away so I've heard
that on the other side
you know for me again I'm just not
into it so
I just drink the regular milk that I would get
from Kroger that my wife gets
from me to enjoy with my Oreo
O's
every morning
or sometimes Frosted Flakes
but my point is
I can see what you're saying
and I have said that and I think that's probably true
I think on the other side
the attitude that well
it's going through a factory
they're probably getting rid of some things that I wouldn't want to have
but I can see both sides
when I've heard people who are big proponents
of raw milk talk about some of the
benefits associated with it
and I think they make good points too though
well again
you know when it comes to these
subjects how can anybody be a
100% certain? I mean are we going to be able to really
do a scientific study where we
have two people that are identical with the exact
same environmental factors and we give one raw
milk and another one pasteurized milk
and identify the health
benefits of either versus
contrary I mean to me
it almost seems like preference
to some degree. Yeah perhaps it is
again I just don't know
I'm not an expert on this
it's probable that it is just a preference
you know and again I thought raw milk
I'm very much a
politician on this I'll play both sides
really I think raw milk tastes
really good and I've
heard that it's good if you're trying to bulk up
you know which I am I'd like to bulk up a little bit
so I like that
about it
but I'm going to have the
I'm going to also drink the pasteurized milk
I don't see an issue with that so
I really just like to play both sides on this issue
well I
honestly I pretty much only drink the ultra
pasteurized milk but I don't see
maybe I'm just missing out
I'm the same way I've had raw milk maybe
a few times in my life
and when I had it it was good it's just
so much more convenient for me to go to the supermarket
and just grab the milk off the shelf
and have that. Well the raw milk is very expensive
though. Yeah that's part of it
for a lot of people that get that
but I know a lot of people really enjoy it
they say it's the greatest thing
but obviously if you drink
raw milk you're going to be closer to God
really strong
you won't even have any problems
apparently
that's obviously
hey you said it not me
but here's the thing
I think that sometimes people get a little overboard
on these issues
and I know a lot of people really like raw milk
I don't really see it being life changing
I think it's kind of a preference
and I think a lot of these even fat diets
people think that
somehow by just getting the
right diet their life's going to be
way better but is it any coincidence
that the alphabet crew
always seem to eat at Whole Foods
and this organic food or whatever
and they still have a death style
so food can only take you so far
when it comes to lifestyle
yeah absolutely you can eat as
organic as you want
I don't care you can find the healthiest
diet in the entire world
if you're a reprobate
if you're an abomination if you're a hater
of God then
you're still going to die early statistically
you're still a piece
of crap scumbag
and you're still going to wake up in hell
yeah I mean
the thing is
to me when it comes to food
the most important elements
that people don't really talk about
are consumption and exercise
yes consumption and exercise
because think about it this way
you know we live in America where we have
almost every option available to us
fruits, vegetables, bread
gluten free
you have
all kinds of, you have soy
you have vegan, you have the impossible burger
which is disgusting
you have just all these different things
so you actually afford people to have
all these options of like
well I'm going to have keto
well I'm going to do paleo
well I'm going to do carnivore
well I'm going to do Daniel
or whatever it is
whereas you go to India and it's like
I just want to eat today
yes you go to these other countries
yet you look at
Africa you look at all the rest of the world
even in developed countries where they don't have nearly
sophisticated a palate they don't have all these options
they still live just as long I mean in fact
that statistically like Japanese
people and Hispanic people
people in Mexico have some of the longest
life spans and if you
think about them they have very
limited cuisine
diets I mean if you go to Mexico
your options are Mexican food
or Mexican food that's
basically your options I mean
if you look at Japan I mean what are
they eating fish and rice I mean
that's got to be like the vast majority
of their diet
raw fish
so you know tuna
they're going to eat
obviously they're going to eat other things
cabbage I think is a pretty
big deal in Japanese
culture
what else, they have noodles
I guess they have some grains
but think about it they're not even eating a lot of
vegetables and fruits
necessarily yet they're still living
to have really long
lives because to me
it seems more consistent
what you how much
you're eating and if you're living an active
lifestyle that's going to
have more impact on your health
than necessarily exactly
which fad diet you're going
for now of course there's going to be
truth to all of this stuff
you are what you eat I remember my
dentist was a vegan
and the guy looked like he
was about to die I mean he was
so frail and skinny
and just emaciated looking
I kept thinking like you need a sandwich
bro you need
to eat real quick before you
come and work on my teeth or something
and I've
never really seen people that are true vegans
I mean there might be some
exceptions out there but most true vegans
are just very frail looking
what would be your assessment
I mean do you meet a lot of these vegans that are just
ripped shredded
no I mean you're not
going to see a vegan that looks like Brock Lesnar
I mean that's just not going to happen right
these are very
skin and bones real frail
real limp-wristed
just like
they're about to wither away
almost is how they look
and the thing with it you know
I'm not trying to like if people want to eat
that whatever here's the problem though
is a lot of them have this smug
attitude about it because in their mind
they're like fighting back
against global warming this is
their attempt to prevent
global warming this is their attempt
to save the animals
well if I eat a cow and
that cow dies doesn't that
help reduce the carbon footprint
yeah
so basically I'm like
one of the greatest
climate changing activists
you are single handedly especially
with your diet preventing
and I mean I'm preaching for
people to eat a lot of meat
so we're really trying to reduce
the carbon footprint but here's the thing though
you might be helping to alleviate
global warming but you're
killing animals they don't like that they view
animals as more valuable than babies
so it's kind of like which one
you know pick your poison
obviously the worst offender
of this climate activist agenda
has to be Chick-fil-A because they're trying to save all the cows
yes
that's true so you
can't eat the chicken you gotta eat the steak
and they supposedly
according to the left Chick-fil-A is
like super hardcore against
the alphabet animals even though they're not
but that's a different topic for a different time
my point is no
you don't see it and it's just
a bunch of soy boys a lot of the time
kind of walking up
going to Burger King let me have my impossible
whopper please and it's just like
you need to just
have you ever had an impossible burger
ever had it I feel like if it
were to get within an inch
of my mouth that I would vomit
maybe if I'm paid
enough I would try it
as a dare or something like that
just off the top of your head
would you think it's more likely that I would eat
an impossible burger or Indian food
impossible burger
if I had to guess
I would say impossible burger
because at least you could douse it in ketchup
and mayo and cheese
I don't know if you like cheese on your burger
if it's an impossible burger
you could put anything on it
put some balut on it
I think that
if we could cover it up with enough
stuff then
you would eat it
can I cover it in bacon and beef
I guess that defeats the purpose
and beef
can I put a beef patty
on the impossible burger
this is what you do
order an impossible burger
but ask them to switch out
the soy based
beef product with real beef
and there you go
that's how you could have an impossible burger
so that we're not just clickbait
let's get into some of our topics
we had keto on the list
you'd written down some things
about keto
what is keto?
can you give us a little bit of a definition here?
the ketogenic diet
is a high fat
adequate protein
low carbohydrate diet
there you go
that's kind of a one sentence definition
have you known people on keto?
well I think
didn't pastor Bruce Mihi do it for a little while
or am I mistaken?
I think he did it for a little while
he's the only one that I personally
know of who did it for
a short period of time
I believe maybe
I can't remember
I think my wife might have tried it
but she didn't really go all the way with it
a number of years ago
is it about getting your body
getting yourself in ketosis?
I believe so
I believe that's kind of the idea
but the thing is
that people who engage in this
people who go all in
they dive head first into the keto diet
often referred to as the keto flu
and I was talking about this
last night actually
this is kind of a weird phenomenon to me
that you can get something called
I don't know of any other diet
maybe I'm wrong there might be a health expert out there
who's watching this podcast who's going to immediately fact check me
in the chat room or whatever
but I don't know of another diet
where you can get
name of the diet flu
that's very interesting to me
but people have reported
getting temporary symptoms
as a result of
this diet things like
fatigue, dizziness, nausea, vomiting
constipation
even low
exercise tolerance, headache
and so
it comes with a lot of
different side effects that aren't exactly
pleasant
but what are your thoughts on keto Pastor Shelley
do you have any experience with it?
Do you know people who've done it?
Does it work?
Well it's my understanding that
keto is really
kind of against bread
bread's kind of like a big no-no
well they're against carbs
a kind of low carb diet
yeah and obviously bread's full of carbohydrates
really kind of any grain
I think you have to have specific
keto style
grains I think they do sell them in the store
I've seen a lot when I go shopping
they'll say this is keto friendly
bread or tortilla or
pasta those type of different things and I don't know
what all they make them from
I think it's various products that they make
I would not do that because I eat so much pasta
I've tried some of this
keto alternative grains
and it's definitely
different
see folks
that is code word for it sucks
I'm assuming
it's not the best and
you know again
next time I take you out and you say
that was different I know what you meant by that
yes
you're kind of different Ben
but when
you know you think about dieting
obviously a caloric deficit
is going to
work period and
what a caloric deficit means is your body
expends so many calories
per day as a man
it depends on how active you are how old you
are things like that but generally speaking
you know you're going to range anywhere from
2500 3500 calories a day
as a man I believe
women on average are typically
going to be around the 1800 to 2200
mark again there's a lot of
variance there depends on how
tall you are how active you are how
old you are different things like that
but in order to essentially lose weight
you have to eat less calories
in total then
however many you're going to expend that
particular day so if you're averaging 2500
calories a day you have
to eat less than 2500
calories to lose weight
the thing is they've measured a pound of fat
and apparently it's
approximately 3500 calories
so in order to lose one
pound of fat
you would have to have
a 3500 caloric
deficit of course that
can't be realized in one day if
you're 2500
unless you worked out 1000
calories extra
on top of not eating which is
probably almost nearly impossible
so typically people at max are going to
do around 500 calories or 250
a day and so maybe over
a period of a week they could lose
anywhere from half a pound pound
maybe two pounds depending on how
aggressive they were going to try and be
but again if you try to be too aggressive
it really makes it dangerous
makes it almost physically impossible
to do
and another thing that can happen though
is when you're on a caloric deficit if you're not
working out if you're not actually
exercising you can actually eat some
of your muscle too and so
you won't necessarily it's not just because you're
losing weight you're going to lose fat
it could actually attack and eat
and deteriorate some of your muscle
your body could because it's trying
to just survive in essence
and so you know
there's kind of a balancing back there
and that's where you have a lot of these programs like
Weight Watchers and these others that are trying to
kind of trick you into having a caloric
deficit without actually telling
you how to count calories
but at the end of the day counting calories
is really all there is to it
and I've actually done this I actually lost
over 20 pounds one time
doing a caloric deficit
program I took 70 days
and I was trying to have around 200
500 calorie deficit every day
I was working out and
I did but
the problem is if you don't maintain
that particular lifestyle you're going to add
it all back just like
that and it's no different with keto it's
no different with any of these fad diets that a lot of times
keto is really just trying to trick you into
having a caloric deficit
because if you're not
eating any carbohydrates if
you're not eating bread those are what have a lot of
calories meat
especially like chicken vegetables
things like that they have a very
small number of
calories in just comparison
so typically when you're only eating those things
and you're not eating fast food
or one of this stuff it's almost impossible to
exceed
your caloric
or calories for the day but one thing that's
also a misnomer is you could technically be on
keto and not lose weight
because
you know if you're eating tons and tons
of meat I mean if you're just eating
like a lot
of steak or maybe like ribeye that
has a lot of fat and things like that I mean you could
still be eating
3000 calories a day
and then you're not even going to be losing weight and
really what you're doing is you're just you're kind of
not getting all the nutrients necessarily
that your body is used to
and it could cause a particular
health problem you bring up this keto flu
so you know and I'm not
again I'm not an expert on all these things
it seems like there's been times in
history where people have had only
meat diets or only certain
diets have been fine but what
seems to me to be a common theme is when
people get used to a particular lifestyle
and then they change drastically
or they're not getting
things that their body is used to that's when it
kind of usually throws them off
kilter
you know you think about like vegans
if a vegan
eats meat after having been away
for a while often they get very sick
you said you've never heard of like this flu
thing but I've heard a lot of vegans say
if they try animal products after
having been away for a while man
it really messes with them
but again
you know my perspective is you could probably eat
Twinkies and live a really long life because
the Bible says
that what's going to give you a long life is
honoring my father and my mother
you know it doesn't say what kind of
diet you had it isn't interesting people
I mean you'll meet all kinds of old people they smoke
and they drink coke and they do all these things
and they just they live to be
120 years old
well it goes to show you
that sometimes
it's just kind of hey if the Lord
wants you to have a long life you're going to have a
long life if you obey your parents
like the Bible says thy days
will be long upon the land that the Lord thy God
giveth thee well think about the children of Israel
didn't they wander through the wilderness
what is the only thing they eat?
manna and quail yeah quail
that's a good one but you know
they're not getting into vegetables
they're like oh I miss all the cucumbers
and the melons and the garlic
and the onion but they
basically just have bread you know
Jesus' prayer says give us this
day our daily bread
bread so what
I don't like is when people demonize
things in the Bible that
are just consistently brought
up in a positive light milk is constantly
brought up in a positive light bread is constantly
brought up in a positive light here's another one
meat for all those vegans out
meat is just constantly brought
not even just a spiritual picture
just a literal
carnal
I want to give a verse here
Genesis 9 verse 3
this is Noah and them getting off the ark
God says unto them
every moving thing
every
moving thing that liveth
shall be meat for you
even as the green herb
have I given you all things
out there on the Bible it says
that every animal
is good and you know some people
don't
they still try to go to these
dietary laws and think that like
oh well we can't eat pork we can't
eat bacon you know Joel Osteen
literally got up and said that
it was wrong to eat bacon but this is the
doctrine of devils in first Timothy yeah
exactly plus the guy that never preaches hard
about anything and has zero standards
the one time he chooses to have a
it's about something that the Bible
explicitly tells you in the New Testament
has been fulfilled can you believe that
it's like incredible now if anybody
wants to come in and share you know
one of their diets or something that they
are on you can call in to 231
Baptist again that's
231 Baptist
and we might take a few calls right now
if you want to call in but
again there's a lot of Bible
on this particular issue with
keto especially
because give me some
some more meat versus
well can I do a bread real quick go
for it in John chapter 6 just because I had it
pulled up John chapter 6 verse
41 Jesus Christ said
I am the living bread which
came down from heaven if any man
eat of this bread he shall live
forever and the bread that I will give
is my flesh which I will give for the
life of the world so Jesus
Christ refers to himself
as the living bread the fulfillment
of the manna that came down from heaven
which by the way Numbers chapter 11 tells
us was beaten which is a picture
of Christ Jesus was beaten
as well so for bread to be
demonized by a lot of these fad
diets and including in
keto I think is
counter to what the scriptures
tell us in the sense that bread is
is used
to typify Jesus
Christ and so therefore
it's hard to look at it negatively
well and again I'm not saying we're not saying that
people that do keto are bad or something
or there's anything wrong with that if
you want to lose weight doing keto
go for it but what I
don't like is people that get on keto
will then say that somehow bread is bad
period and that no one should eat bread
everybody should avoid bread or
there's something wrong with bread
obviously there's nothing wrong with bread
if you want to argue about
you know processed foods or
maybe some of the methods by
which people make bread
you know we could talk about that but bread in general
according to the scripture
is a great thing it's what we should
base our daily
living on according to Jesus Christ give us this
day our daily bread can you imagine
Jesus Christ he's giving a model
prayer and
the one item he asks for
is somehow bad I mean that
just seems really bad like a really satanic
doctrine yeah the idea that you should never eat it
I mean another satanic doctrine
Timothy 4 says now
the spirit speaketh expressly
that in latter times some should depart from the faith
giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines
of devils speaking
lies in epoxy having the conscience seared
of the hot iron forbidding to marry and
commanding to
abstain from meats
which God hath created to be received with
thanksgiving of them which believe and know
the truth for every
creature of God is good and
nothing to be refused to be received
with thanksgiving does that include
balut yes it does
thankfully now wait a minute
it says if
it be received with thanksgiving that's
true so you know there's there's my
caveat on why I don't have to eat every single meat
but hey if you do it at least
it's sanctified make sure you pray
for that meal okay you want to pray
and pray extra hard when you have
that on the pollute
and you know I'll say this as much as
I despise the globalist and what they're
saying obviously there's technically
nothing wrong with eating crickets I mean we
have John the Baptist eating
locust and wild honey
not necessarily
the most exquisite cuisine
yet I can't argue
and say that there's anything wrong with that
yeah and because that's what the Bible
says I'll hit you with another one
in Acts chapter 10 verse 13
and there came a voice to him
rise Peter kill and eat
verse 14 but Peter said not so
Lord for I have never eaten anything that
is common or unclean and the voice spake
unto him again the second time what
God hath cleansed
that call not thou common
so again in the New Testament
the dietary laws have
been fulfilled and we no longer
have to follow them and as
Pastor Shelley
alluded to if you receive it with
thanksgiving if you pray before you
eat it's sanctified
in that way and have
at it hoss you know that's the way I look
at it but the Bible talks about
the
hard meat you know the meat of
the strong meat excuse me
the strong meat of the word it's been a long
week already for me the strong
meat of the word that the Bible
refers to again
symbolically talking about some
of the more complex portions of
scripture to me
to demonize eating
that just doesn't make sense
because if the Bible is going to use
something that is carnal to
expound that which is spiritual then you have
to realize both sides of the
equation are going to be true
the carnal truth will be a truth
and it will expound on that
which is spiritual which is
the word of God and I think we're really
we're triggering people here Pastor Shelley
that are screwed up on this issue
and want to try and follow the Old Covenant
laws
well you know I found
the Joel Osteen clip
I tried to send it to our
production staff to me it's incredible the guy who has
no standards I want to see if we can put
this in our show for a second
when he finally decides to have a standard
he picks the one doctrine
that Hebrews 9 and a lot
of other scriptures as well explicitly
says has been
a lot of scriptures tell us that those have been
fulfilled that particular
aspect of the Mosaic law
has been fulfilled so it truly is unreal
and it just shows you that these false prophets
are allergic to the truth
well what's funny is
you got the guy who doesn't preach
against anything I mean
if you were going to typify Joel Osteen
he's like I'm for
everybody I'm not
against anyone
he's just always so positive
and encouraging
but then he takes one he preaches against
one thing like the one negative thing
and it just happens to be according to the scripture
a doctrine of devils
I mean is there any coincidence
what I said but I like how you put it better
let's just start this clip here
and play a little bit of it I know the video sucks
but let's just play the audio
let's just play it
a hog, a swine
and I know some of you love pork chops
you love ham and cheese sandwiches
I grew up on all that I love bacon
but for our health's sake
we have to be willing to make some changes
God knows what's best for us
and back in the bible days
the pig was considered unclean
it was never considered
a source of food and one of the main
reasons why was the pig
will eat anything
a pig eats waste and garbage
this is kind of gross but a pig
will eat its own dead child
a pig will eat other sick
and infected animals
they're scavengers and what's interesting
is the pig has one of the quickest
and poorest
digestive systems of any animal
takes only four hours and that's not good
because the digestive system
is so quick and so poor
many times
the toxins from the food are not
properly eliminated
and they are stored in the pig's fat
that means that pig can eat
all kinds of filth and garbage
it can eat other infection
four hours later it's sent to the slaughter
and butchered and in a few days
it's on your plate at home
you're having ribs, the problem is
the toxins were never properly eliminated
from the pig
on the other hand, the animals that God says
are okay for us to eat
like cow, lamb, deer, buffalo
these animals eat fresh
clean vegetation
their digestive system is much
more sophisticated
in fact a cow basically has three stomachs
and that fresh
clean vegetation is processed
through a digestive system that takes
24 hours
think about it, 24 hours versus 4 hours
would you rather eat
an animal that eats waste and filth
or an animal that eats fresh clean
vegetation, an animal that
poorly processes the food
that covers the toxins in its fat
or an animal that properly eliminates
the toxins from its body
I don't know about you, but I don't want to
take a chance of putting that kind of junk
in my body, and as I said I love
bacon, but a few years ago
we switched over and started eating
turkey bacon, I can't tell the difference now
I love pizza, but I don't eat
pepperoni anymore, I made
changes not only for my
health's sake, I made changes
to honor God, and I believe
that if I'll do what I can to take care of
myself, God will do what I can
something else the Bible tells
us we should stay away from
is any kind of shellfish
shrimp, crabs,
clams, oysters, lobsters
again
would y'all quit being so rebellious
today?
I'm ruining all y'alls lunch
these are animals that are
scavengers, do you know they live at the
bottom of the water and they eat waste
they eat the excrement
of other animals, and I love
fried shrimp, but when I think about
what that shrimp eats for dinner
just not that appetizing anymore
we should be eating more
fresh fish, fresh
salmon, grilled fish is some of the
best things for us, at our home
we tend to eat a lot of chicken
alright, we can cut off that clip, I mean
what in the
world? This guy
is basically teaching
for us to abstain
from eating certain kinds
of meats, I mean talk about a doctrine of devils
for Joel Osteen to get up here
and tell you not to eat bacon
and look, you know how I know you're a false prophet
you say that turkey bacon
tastes the same as regular bacon
I mean what a false prophet, what a liar
there's no way
turkey bacon tastes like
it's barely even meat
I mean that's not even real bacon
that's ridiculous, I mean it's almost
like soy at that point
I mean how is this guy
this guy is going to teach this
junk and people are still going to go to his church
I mean what kind of a weird
bizarre idea, it's like
basically the devil just inhabited this guy
and is just like let me just preach for a little while
he looked like he was demon possessed, somebody said that in the
chat room, I agree, Jesus
you know Matthew chapter number 15 verse 11
said not that which goeth into the mouth
defileth a man, but that which cometh out
of the mouth, this defileth a man
and I find it interesting that Joel
Osteen is going to obsess over
what he's consuming and talk about how all
these dietary laws which have been fulfilled
Hebrews chapter 9 tells us so
which totally in meats and drinks and diverse
washings and carnal ordinances imposed
on them until the time of reformation it says
but he wants to talk about that
and make a big deal about that when in
reality it's what comes out of his
mouth on a regular basis that
defiles him that makes
him abominable in
the sight of God as a
false prophet leading many to hell
well you know it's funny because
you just see all these bizarre ideas
about physical diets
but doesn't it seem to have like a tie to
spiritual diets it's like
all these people want to teach all this junk
and avoid you know the
bread, avoid the milk
avoid the meat, aren't all three of those
pictures of the
bread of life
the meat of the word
yeah the meat of the word and it's like these
three things are attacked constantly
by false prophets, teachers
these weird diets and all kinds of stuff
physically but is it not
almost like a pseudo attack on
the word of God itself
and you know what I'll be honest you say what
kind of diet do you have Pastor Shelley
bread, milk and meat
man do I love it and I eat a lot of vegetables too
frankly speaking
at the beginning of the Bible
and I put a verse in my notes here
what about butter? Amen
I love butter
Genesis 1 29
and God said behold I have given
you every herb bearing seed
which is upon the face of all the earth and every tree
and which is the fruit
of a tree yielding seed
and to you
it shall be for meat so according to the Bible
all the fruits and vegetables
the seeds
the meat, the milk, the bread
it seems like all of the stuff that God gave us
in its purest form seems to be the best stuff
yeah how about honey
the Bible also refers to
Amen honey as being
representative of his word
in Isaiah 7 14
it says
I think in the Canadian version it's syrup
it could be syrup, Canadian syrup is
very tasty
and so shout out to our producer Tim
since he's from
Canadian
Isaiah 7 says in verse 14
therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign
behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son
and shall call his name Immanuel
butter and honey shall he eat
he may know to refuse the evil
and choose the good
well since he's from the land of Canadian
does that mean that he
is Canadian bacon like a pass
on this one?
I like Canadian bacon
it's definitely not turkey bacon
they also have something and maybe Tim
you could say it in my ear
the name of this food but it's like a
beaver tail
and they put like syrup on it
it's really good
yeah he said it sounds right so beavers tail
you should look at it
is it called something?
I think it's just beavers tail I'm pretty sure is what it's called
it's fantastic I had it one time when I went to visit
Quebec and they
sold it at a local
is there anything you won't eat?
monkey, snake, the weird communist Chinese food
but you had octopus
octopus is good
what? like if you said
pastor Shelley I have monkey or octopus
on the table octopus what are you nuts?
I would probably eat the monkey what?
especially snake a lot of people eat snake
they say it's really good that's gross
fried snake?
why? I mean what
what is the experience of eating octopus?
it's got that nice
texture to it nice texture
isn't it slimy?
yeah but that's what makes it good
it's got a little bit of a rubbery
it's like a gummy bear
yeah but it's very tasty
like a slimy gummy bear but not sugary
no I went to a
seafood place here in town
that sold little mini
octopus
octopi I don't know
little octopus like this big
I put it in my hand posed
for a picture with it and actually sent you
the photo you responded with a
vomit emoji which I thought
was you know mean and hateful
but no I think it's very tasty
that was the point yeah it hurt my
feelings Psalm 119
103 how sweet are thy words unto thy
excuse me how sweet
are thy words unto my taste
yea sweeter than honey
to my mouth show me the octopus in
the Bible
I'd have to do a word search
I don't know off the top of my head but
I'll get back to you on that
hey every creature
everything is good
if you eat it with
thanksgiving and you pray for it you sanctify
it through prayer
every moving thing what about
dog it was between dog and monkey
monkey
okay yeah for sure
see I think I might go dog on that one
that's what
I mean if you've ever eaten at a Thai restaurant
you've probably already had it
maybe that's what I thought the orange chicken was
I think in Europe
it's common to eat horse
have you heard about that?
it's common in the United States just go to Taco Bell
oh is that horse meat?
that's the joke I mean
every time I go to Taco Bell it's just
diarrhea is usually what I'm eating
look we can be in one accord on that
100% I think Taco Bell is absolutely
disgusting you know what would be
funny you know the guy that did the super size me
if someone
did a 30 day Taco Bell
see if they could
survive well no they would die
that's for sure well they thought he was going to die in the super size
me yeah
yeah well he actually it's funny he ended up
doing a sequel to that which I actually thought was even
better where he kind of talked about the
marketing that a lot of these fast food
chains use and the keywords
that they use to sucker people in
like for example they use the word
fresh I mean what is
that even like yeah that's supposed
to make you think that it's healthier
than it really is or they'll
they'll use certain colors
so are you saying you don't like McDonald's?
let's not go that far that
psychologically kind of manipulate you into
believing that what you're eating is really good
for you when it's not so if you
had to eat McDonald's every day for the rest of your
life or never have it again
what would you choose
or never have it again
yes good night I mean
that's a tough one I'd eat it every day
I'd get fries
I mean this thing you're not specifying
I'd go grab me some fries
or I mean I could diversify
the diet I knew that would be a tough one
for you no I'd have fries one day
I could have an Oreo McFlurry
another day you know I
have we have in our
notes you have something even weirder like a weird
diet the clay diet the clay diet
tell me about this so here's another fad diet
I've heard of
so here's essentially what
it is it's people who want
to lose weight and
so and they want to lose it as quickly as possible
so what they'll do is they'll put dirt
in their water I'm not even
kidding clay diet they put dirt
in their water and then
that this is the way tea
no oh
it's coffee evidently
they I'm not a
giant coffee guy so that didn't defend me
but I'm sure Dylan's really pissed off
claim the ad this is what the advocates
of the clay diet will
claim that it
actually will help you lose weight by putting clay
in the in the water the
idea is that I'm just going to read what I have in my notes
here the idea is that bentonite
clay a super absorbent volcanic
ash will remove
toxins and heavy metals from your body
upon ingestion the clay
swells up to 12 times its size
and pushes out slow moving
waste in the gut boosting your metabolism
stars like Shailene
Woodley you've heard of her
right no and
Zoe Kravitz
I mean these are A-listers right here is that
Lenny Kravitz daughter or something evidently
have done it I don't know who Lenny Kravitz is either
and you can find clay pills on the market
too the main selling point is weight loss
you want to lose 10 pounds in 12
days sign me up right
slow down Dr. Anton
Emanuel a gastrointestinal
lologist I butchered that
at University College
Hospital London says
quote the clay acts as a resin
and binds everything both good and
bad making it harder for the body to digest
vital nutrients such as iron and calcium
eating clay can also perforate
your bowels and cause
heart and kidney failure now doesn't
that sound like fun kids
I you know
I've seen I've seen like ads or
something for
I it might have been this clay diet
but it was basically just it was like it was like called
mud water have you ever seen the ad
for that it's like it's like instead of
drinking coffee drink this mud
water and it reminds me of like
putting dirt
basically in water which
you know what's the difference between that and coffee
anyways really but sorry
I defend everyone actually I'm not that sorry but
you know that's what that's my
running joke is that tea and coffee are basically
dirt water so
you know hey we are dirt so you are
what you eat so exactly so it sounds
like you're just defeated you're replacing
all that dirt in your body
give it give us
another one of your diets how about juicing
this is one that I kind of
wanted to talk about a little bit
and this was actually I have some
experience with not personally but my wife
had done this for an extended period of time
and I'll just
read you what I have here
from celebrities and food bloggers to
so-called health gurus everyone's
talking about juicing and it's incredible
quote unquote benefits proponents claim
that fasting with juices energizes the
body ignites weight loss improves
sleep and increases lifespan
this is from Livestrong.com
this practice is supposed to clear your
skin boost your metabolism flush
toxins from your system unfortunately
most claims lack scientific evidence now here's
the thing about juicing
is that people will do it
and what I mean by this is they'll literally
only drink juice they won't have
any solid food for an
extended period of time
and they'll drop a bunch of weight
but the common theme with a lot
of these diets is that
you drop a bunch of weight initially
as a direct result of
the diet and then as soon
as you get off of it
as soon as you go back to eating
what you were eating before
you go ahead and you put all the weight
back on again and
in many cases you end up putting on
more weight than
you had before you started
the cleanse the diet
whatever the case may be
and juicing is another
example of this where
it really does more harm
than good in my opinion
because of the very quick weight
loss that results in a very quick
weight gain after
you get off the juice
cleanse this is what my wife experienced way
back in the day she did this
for a long time
and it just didn't work
she got the weight off
she put it right back on again and there were a lot of
very serious
health issues
that she went through as a result
she went through some really bad things
and some of which I actually don't want to share
but it was bad and it was
because of the
juicing because of the lack
of meat in her diet her
body took years
to recover from this and praise the lord
it did
and I'm really happy for her but
this one I think is bad
I'm glad to hear your wife got better after that
my wife and I
have had
just kind of a
maybe a traditional diet
most of the time
we eat pasta, we eat bread
we eat meat, we eat vegetables
we just kind of eat a lot of the normal stuff
and
my wife and I
had decided to
kind of do a diet together more recently
and I was just kind of telling her
well you know the really thing that works is counting calories
so I just kind of taught my wife
how I did that
and just getting kind of a
notebook and just
writing out your entire meal
every single, everything you eat
for the whole day and then you can
start seeing how many calories you're consuming regularly
and then you just make an adjustment
you just say okay well I'm going to cut back
and do whatever it is
400, 600 calories less
than I was
and that's how you lose weight
and you know I had my wife do this and she
honestly lost a lot of weight
doing this program and while you
certainly can add it back
it's not necessarily going to be super quick
unless you just
really over gorge
and if you actually kind of limit yourself
and learn how to limit yourself, work out, you can actually
maintain and we didn't really change
what we were eating as much as we were just changing
maybe the quantity, more portion
control, things like that
and when you actually limit your diet, you actually
realize that food tastes so much better
you get so much more excited to eat
you didn't have to eat as much as you were before
I ended up
while we were talking though, I made a poll
and it's on our
Baptist Bias channel
so if you go to the Baptist Bias channel, go to the community
tab, there's a poll that I want
you to do, especially if you're listening
or anywhere, go out there and check this out
I want to get your feedback right now
if you could only eat
one new IFB
cuisine for the rest of
your life, what would you choose?
I tried to pick four restaurants that I thought
were kind of our new IFB cuisine
so here they are, number one, Panera
number two, Chipotle
number three, In-N-Out Burger
it's kind of your west coast
and number four, Outback
Oh Outback, that's easy
See, I knew I would win this
I love Outback, Outback is tremendous
their steaks are great, flavorful
tender
Now you can't eat breakfast
You can't? They don't have breakfast
Well I'll have a steak for breakfast then
Well yeah, but they're not open
Oh they're not open, whatever
I'll skip breakfast, I skip breakfast a lot anyway
I don't really care
I mean Panera, you can get breakfast
I don't think, does Chipotle have breakfast?
I'm not a huge Panera guy
Proverbs 27, I want to quote this very quickly
It says in verse 7
The full soul loateth in honeycomb
but to the hungry soul
every bitter thing is sweet
and I just wanted to bring that up
in response to what you said
about how food tastes a lot better for you
and I think it's just because of the fact
that you're not full all the time
Well I just want to say this
on our poll so far
0% for In-N-Out
Wow
Well that says something, doesn't it?
You want to know why?
Because they have two items on their menu
and one of them sucks
The fries are horrifying
It's like eating cardboard
Well I don't even do the fries
I just go get a burger
and one of their shakes
but with all the flavors at the same time
They call Neapolitan I think
That's good
I don't do the fries anymore
Their menu is like do you want a burger with ketchup or mustard
That's their menu
I am interested
Does Chipotle have breakfast?
Do we know?
I have no idea
I don't think In-N-Out does
I don't believe so
I don't know when they open
They're open pretty late though
They're usually open late
I remember after Red Hot
We ordered a bunch
Seems like when you go to California
Everything is fine
In-N-Out just has cars
circling
People love going there
Maybe I'm wrong
I've had it in Texas
I've also had it in California
To me it tastes a little better in California
They have a sympathy vote
We have 17 votes so far
Outback is the clear winner
We have Chipotle and Panera tied
for second
Dead last
We'll let that run
I'm sure we'll get several more votes
Pastor Aaron Thompson gave his opinion
on Chipotle
He said, Chipotle gay
That must mean that it's a very happy place
Oh that's what that means
Yes
Well I know that we've talked a lot about these diets
It's making me hungry
I probably need to go eat something
Did it make you want to have coke?
We got another extra one here
You want it?
I'm kind of in the mood for some Balut
Balut
Balut mixed with some octopus
Nice
All in Indian
I'm glad to see your palate has finally evolved
because of this show
Isn't this great folks?
We have gotten Pastor Shelley to evolve his diet
live on the air
He just endorsed officially
Octopus and Balut
I mean if looking at Balut doesn't make you
just scream I want to eat that
You don't even have a soul
Probably not
