Many people are
concerned that if they
00:00:01.98\00:00:02.95
stopped smoking,
they'll substitute their
00:00:02.96\00:00:04.34
cigarettes with food
and end up extremely fat.
00:00:04.37\00:00:07.01
I'm Dr. Arthur
Weaver, a cancer surgeon
00:00:08.02\00:00:09.91
and today I'm going to
give you the principles
00:00:09.94\00:00:11.87
on how to stop
smoking without looking like
00:00:11.90\00:00:14.79
a beach ball with arms,
don't miss this program.
00:00:14.82\00:00:17.40
Well, how's it
going? Good. Great.
00:00:49.01\00:00:51.45
First let me answer
a couple of questions
00:00:52.43\00:00:55.23
that somebody asked
me. One of them said,
00:00:55.26\00:00:58.03
now I think you
suggested I might go
00:01:00.38\00:01:02.38
on sugarless gum.
Now, I read somewhere
00:01:02.41\00:01:08.18
that saccharin is carcinogenic,
00:01:08.21\00:01:09.99
if I get rid of
cigarettes what's gonna
00:01:11.69\00:01:14.08
happen if I eat
all this saccharin.
00:01:14.11\00:01:15.64
Well, I wouldn't
worry too much about it,
00:01:18.55\00:01:22.15
because you won't be chewing gum
00:01:24.12\00:01:25.45
probably all the
rest of your life,
00:01:25.48\00:01:27.52
but it's
interesting how we look at some
00:01:28.56\00:01:31.81
things in
completely different light than
00:01:31.84\00:01:34.86
we look at other
things. For instance,
00:01:34.89\00:01:39.06
I remember several years ago,
00:01:41.46\00:01:42.88
it was thanksgiving
and we had this scare
00:01:44.08\00:01:49.65
with the cranberries,
does anybody remember that,
00:01:49.68\00:01:51.71
the cranberry
scare at Thanksgiving.
00:01:52.70\00:01:54.93
Anyhow I always
had some cranberries
00:01:56.65\00:01:59.31
with my Thanksgiving dinner.
00:01:59.34\00:02:00.63
So, I went to the
store and I asked for
00:02:00.66\00:02:02.68
cranberries. I read the report,
00:02:02.71\00:02:04.97
you know what the
report basically showed,
00:02:05.96\00:02:07.17
there had been one
study done on rabbits
00:02:07.20\00:02:10.16
and if you translated
it into humans basically
00:02:11.30\00:02:13.84
if you ate about 2
pounds of cranberries
00:02:13.87\00:02:16.43
a day for twenty
years you might get this
00:02:16.46\00:02:18.87
cancer of your
thyroid. Okay, you got it,
00:02:18.90\00:02:22.74
so I went to the
store and I said do you have
00:02:24.00\00:02:25.08
any cranberries I
figured I could wash them,
00:02:25.11\00:02:27.27
clean them up and
have them onetime you
00:02:27.30\00:02:29.28
know, not two
pounds, not twenty years just
00:02:29.31\00:02:33.10
for Thanksgiving
dinner. And lady looked at me
00:02:33.13\00:02:35.89
as if I was crazy.
She says don't you know
00:02:35.92\00:02:38.58
they cause cancer?
I said I haven't ever.
00:02:38.61\00:02:44.22
I was a cancer
surgeon then you see, I said,
00:02:44.25\00:02:46.12
I haven't seen
anybody dying of cranberry
00:02:46.15\00:02:49.07
cancer yet. But I said
you're still selling all
00:02:49.10\00:02:54.46
those cigarettes
there. And I see people dying
00:02:54.49\00:02:58.13
of those all the
time, isn't it interesting.
00:02:58.16\00:03:00.74
You know they have
this idea that if anything
00:03:02.09\00:03:04.66
causes cancer, no
matter what the doses is,
00:03:04.69\00:03:07.12
you know that
saccharin bit probably a
00:03:07.15\00:03:09.46
thousand times a dose
than anybody would get
00:03:09.49\00:03:11.69
from chewing gum,
so they put that little
00:03:11.72\00:03:14.17
warning on there.
But it's interesting that
00:03:14.20\00:03:17.78
they maybe
getting, in some countries,
00:03:17.81\00:03:20.25
somebody handed me
this tonight it's sort
00:03:20.28\00:03:22.43
of interesting, maybe
you saw it in a paper.
00:03:22.46\00:03:23.99
Cigarette soon may
carry a death message
00:03:25.17\00:03:27.56
in Sweden, did anybody see that?
00:03:27.59\00:03:29.22
Anyhow they're
thinking of putting some little
00:03:30.79\00:03:32.42
stories on each
pack of cigarettes,
00:03:32.45\00:03:34.75
how would you feel if
you got your cigarettes
00:03:34.78\00:03:36.11
and it said something like this.
00:03:36.14\00:03:37.31
Stephen took his first
puff in primary school,
00:03:38.14\00:03:40.79
at 20 he smoked a package a day.
00:03:40.82\00:03:42.36
Twenty years later he
felt quite healthy but
00:03:43.33\00:03:45.55
one afternoon he
suddenly collapsed
00:03:45.58\00:03:47.15
at work. He died
before the day was over,
00:03:47.18\00:03:49.84
the reason, heart
attack, he was forty years old.
00:03:49.87\00:03:52.82
How would like to
have a different story on
00:03:53.74\00:03:55.36
every pack of
cigarettes. That's what they're
00:03:55.39\00:03:57.52
thinking of doing in Sweden,
00:03:57.55\00:04:01.14
so I thought that
was kind of interesting;
00:04:01.17\00:04:03.55
I appreciate someone
sharing that with me.
00:04:03.58\00:04:07.85
But it's also
interesting, you know everyone
00:04:08.74\00:04:10.94
is concerned
against air pollution,
00:04:10.97\00:04:13.60
you heard that
didn't you? What am I going
00:04:13.63\00:04:16.44
to do about the air
in New York, in Michigan?
00:04:16.47\00:04:20.77
Well , I don't
know much about New York
00:04:20.80\00:04:23.01
air but I do
know something about
00:04:23.04\00:04:24.53
Michigan air. The
one pack a day smoker,
00:04:24.56\00:04:30.66
you got this now,
one pack a day smoker
00:04:32.36\00:04:33.91
gets six hundred
times the particulate
00:04:34.94\00:04:40.23
pollution in his
lungs that the nonsmoker
00:04:40.26\00:04:43.47
will get from air
that meets Michigan clean
00:04:43.50\00:04:45.66
airs standards. The
one pack a day smoker
00:04:45.69\00:04:52.01
get this now, gets sixty times,
00:04:52.04\00:04:54.92
60 times the
particulate pollution that
00:04:55.51\00:05:00.90
the nonsmoker
will get from air which
00:05:00.93\00:05:03.09
by law in the state
of Michigan they have to
00:05:03.12\00:05:05.83
declare a pollution
alert and close some factories.
00:05:05.86\00:05:09.34
The one pack a day
smoker get sixty times
00:05:11.54\00:05:14.15
that amount, do you
see how different it
00:05:14.18\00:05:16.38
is for certain
industrial things then it is
00:05:16.41\00:05:20.25
for certain things
that people have a habit
00:05:20.28\00:05:23.25
of smoking and
drinking and chewing you know,
00:05:24.22\00:05:30.28
we're concerned
about war, nobody wants to
00:05:30.91\00:05:32.47
go to war right, we
lost fifty thousand men
00:05:32.50\00:05:37.13
as I remembered
in Vietnam, bad war.
00:05:37.16\00:05:40.00
We lose that many
in car accidents every
00:05:41.82\00:05:44.05
year half
associated with alcohol,
00:05:44.08\00:05:46.11
no one seems to
get too upset about it.
00:05:47.15\00:05:49.02
We lost a hundred
and twenty five thousand
00:05:50.24\00:05:52.09
people this year
from lung cancer alone.
00:05:52.12\00:05:54.82
Basically associated
with smoking and no one gets,
00:05:56.78\00:05:59.81
you haven't heard
them really getting uptight
00:06:00.45\00:06:01.97
about that in
Congress and having major
00:06:02.00\00:06:03.71
debates over, have
you? Maybe just kind of
00:06:03.74\00:06:07.50
accept this kind of mortality.
00:06:07.53\00:06:10.30
I had to get that
off my chest I appreciate
00:06:12.00\00:06:14.10
you letting me, appreciate
you letting me do that.
00:06:14.13\00:06:16.66
Well, we need to
talk to a couple of people
00:06:16.69\00:06:18.77
tonight and my
friend that wanders,
00:06:18.80\00:06:21.67
goes around
picking people, isn't here,
00:06:21.70\00:06:24.33
he had another
obligation. Is there
00:06:25.04\00:06:27.18
anybody that has
something real interesting
00:06:27.21\00:06:29.42
that's happened to
them while they were
00:06:29.45\00:06:30.53
stopping smoking
they're willing to share with,
00:06:30.56\00:06:32.31
just come right up
here. Anybody, come one.
00:06:32.34\00:06:34.92
Somebody's got something good,
00:06:35.77\00:06:36.85
alright then, then
I'm gonna pick you out
00:06:38.88\00:06:41.33
at random. You
just make your way,
00:06:41.36\00:06:43.84

here, I take the lady right
00:06:43.87\00:06:46.61

I'll take the gentleman
00:06:50.16\00:06:54.89

sweater, right, you got it,
00:06:54.92\00:06:56.94

00:07:01.76\00:07:03.75
he's proudly
bragging about his Michigan.
00:07:03.78\00:07:07.57
And lets see we'll
pick one more lady from
00:07:09.04\00:07:13.43
the front row right
here. Alright, come on up.
00:07:13.46\00:07:18.56
Hi what's your name?
Jill Munn, Jill Munn,
00:07:23.28\00:07:26.84

about Munn? Munn, Munn,
00:07:27.47\00:07:30.58
and Jill, have you
been here since the start
00:07:30.61\00:07:34.31
of the program? Yes, I have.
00:07:34.34\00:07:35.53
And how much were
you used to smoking?
00:07:35.75\00:07:37.41
About a pack,
about a pack a day.
00:07:37.44\00:07:39.24

00:07:39.80\00:07:41.15
for you now Jill,
oh we're down here you

Fifth for me, yeah

00:07:46.60\00:07:49.20
Sunday, and so tell

00:07:49.79\00:07:52.73
it for me what do
you, what do you think?
00:07:52.76\00:07:54.34
I think it's great, I
went and saw my father
00:07:54.37\00:07:57.00
last night and I
want him to come.
00:07:57.03\00:07:58.75
Your father smokes?
Yes. You think maybe
00:08:00.19\00:08:01.74
your quitting will
help him come? I don't know,
00:08:01.77\00:08:03.86
I hope so, I hope
so, he worries me.
00:08:05.91\00:08:09.09
Now, did you
have much trouble? No,
00:08:09.80\00:08:11.97
no I was ready, he
was ready, I was ready.
00:08:13.10\00:08:15.62
Did you go through any symptoms?
00:08:15.65\00:08:16.62
Yeah, well
yesterday it was great,
00:08:17.50\00:08:19.99
today it was hard,
this is my fifth day yeah
00:08:20.02\00:08:22.79
I really wanted one
today. All day along,
00:08:23.35\00:08:25.47
well no, but I mean
it was stronger than
00:08:26.08\00:08:30.36
the day before
and I don't know why,
00:08:30.39\00:08:32.13
do you remember
my mountain story?
00:08:32.16\00:08:33.80
Yeah, there's little
ups and downs but you
00:08:34.58\00:08:37.16
know what, like I
told you the first day
00:08:37.19\00:08:39.71
those urges will
get lower and lower
00:08:39.74\00:08:42.33
amplitude and
further and further apart.
00:08:42.36\00:08:44.12
But if you ever been on a beach,
00:08:44.94\00:08:45.91
you ever once in a
while you know they
00:08:45.92\00:08:46.89
have all these little
ones and then here comes
00:08:46.90\00:08:47.92
the big one,
yeah, forgot about that.
00:08:47.95\00:08:51.51
Yeah, you had the big one, yeah,
00:08:51.54\00:08:53.31
but you feel good
about it? Well I fell good
00:08:53.34\00:08:56.31
that I didn't
smoke, yeah and you don't
00:08:56.34\00:08:58.07
think you're going to go back.
00:08:58.10\00:08:59.21
No, I know I'm
not going to go back.
00:08:59.24\00:09:00.60
What do you think about that,
00:09:02.09\00:09:03.06
isn't that great?
Thank you, keep doing,
00:09:03.07\00:09:06.25
I love this
program, good thank you.
00:09:06.28\00:09:08.32
Alright, lets see,
somebody I call this
00:09:10.05\00:09:16.70
fellow back about here
too no, no, no you got,
00:09:16.73\00:09:19.92
you got yeah.
Alright, come, come,
00:09:19.95\00:09:21.90
come right on up
here, what's your name?
00:09:21.93\00:09:24.44
Dan, Dan you're not a fan from
00:09:24.47\00:09:26.69
University
Michigan? No, no, what do you
00:09:26.72\00:09:29.47
think of it? No.
How much you used to
00:09:29.50\00:09:31.17
smoke Dan? Was two packs,
00:09:31.20\00:09:32.85
two packs a day
and you've been here
00:09:32.88\00:09:34.65
since the start of
the problem yeah since
00:09:34.68\00:09:36.26
last Thursday. You
got out here in spite
00:09:36.29\00:09:37.87
of the weather tonight.
Well I couldn't miss it,
00:09:37.90\00:09:39.53
couldn't miss it. I'm
down right proud of you;
00:09:39.56\00:09:40.92
you got up a real sweat I mean.
00:09:40.95\00:09:43.29
Well, like shrimp, nervous
still too, little jittery,
00:09:44.24\00:09:47.98
yeah. But how did
the program go for you?
00:09:48.01\00:09:50.00
A lot better then
what I did, you know
00:09:50.72\00:09:52.51
when I tried on my
own, you've tried on your
00:09:53.14\00:09:55.19
own but it didn't
work too well, hundreds
00:09:55.22\00:09:56.19
of times you know.
But you think the program
00:09:56.20\00:09:57.80
has worked pretty
good? Oh yeah definitely,
00:09:57.83\00:09:59.61
in fact I just gave
the book and all the
00:09:59.64\00:10:01.56
information to my
sister she wants to quit,
00:10:01.59\00:10:03.48
she wants to quit
too. Did you have some real
00:10:03.51\00:10:07.97
bad days?
Yesterday was the worst,
00:10:08.00\00:10:09.65
the fourth day and today
you felt a little better.
00:10:09.68\00:10:12.17
Yeah, I think
different was this morning,
00:10:12.20\00:10:13.82
I woke up with a
bloody nose, I couldn't
00:10:13.85\00:10:16.33
understand that one.
Well, a lot of times people
00:10:17.91\00:10:19.12
in this country get bloody nose,
00:10:19.15\00:10:21.38
in this you know
where is, we have the heat,
00:10:22.34\00:10:23.99
a lot of people get
bloody nose from dry air
00:10:24.90\00:10:27.23
that's the commonest cause.
00:10:27.26\00:10:28.74
We see a lot of
bloody nose in nonsmokers
00:10:28.77\00:10:30.30
and smokers. This is
first time I had. Yeah,
00:10:30.33\00:10:33.58
I doubt that it had
anything to do with your
00:10:33.61\00:10:35.26
smoking, I think
it's just what you call a
00:10:35.29\00:10:38.13
coincidence. Could be.
But you feel good about
00:10:38.16\00:10:41.19
it? Definitely and
you think this time you're
00:10:41.22\00:10:43.49
gonna stay off and
I'm gonna give it my
00:10:43.52\00:10:45.53
best shot, lets put it that way.
00:10:45.56\00:10:46.53
What do you think
folks, aren't you proud of him?
00:10:47.42\00:10:49.27
I always appreciate
those people that sit
00:11:00.16\00:11:02.31
on the front row, I
don't know if any of you
00:11:02.34\00:11:06.39
folks done much public
speaking but you always
00:11:06.42\00:11:09.29
have to have some
feedback you know to
00:11:09.32\00:11:11.05
see whether you,
whether your getting
00:11:11.08\00:11:13.23
through or not and
I watched you every
00:11:13.26\00:11:17.59
night and you've acted
like you were listening,
00:11:17.62\00:11:19.96
and I appreciated that. I was.
00:11:19.99\00:11:23.08
How much were you
used to smoking before
00:11:23.11\00:11:24.91
you came here? Pack
and a half or two packs
00:11:24.94\00:11:27.40
per day. And tell
us a little bit about
00:11:27.43\00:11:28.61
your trials and
tribulations? Well,
00:11:31.34\00:11:33.49
I was so carried away
from sitting in the front
00:11:33.52\00:11:36.43
row because it felt
like you were talking to me.
00:11:36.46\00:11:39.22
I was you know, I
was watching there,
00:11:39.25\00:11:41.94
yeah but I mean none
of these other people
00:11:41.97\00:11:43.04
were here, you
were talking to me.
00:11:43.07\00:11:44.42
You know sitting there,
so I got all carried away
00:11:45.42\00:11:47.30
and I thought I'm not
gonna wait until Monday,
00:11:47.33\00:11:49.55
I'm gonna Friday night
so I did it Friday night.
00:11:49.58\00:11:52.20
So, you've been off every
since and isn't that good?
00:11:52.62\00:11:54.62
No, no, well
alright, moment of truth,
00:11:54.65\00:12:00.82
I got real nervous
Monday night before I came
00:12:01.25\00:12:03.47
here, so I did a
real dumb thing and I had
00:12:03.50\00:12:06.58
a couple puffs off of a
cigarette and you're right
00:12:07.10\00:12:09.21
I felt worse I think
after doing that then again
00:12:09.24\00:12:13.61
I felt bad again after
going through Saturday,
00:12:14.17\00:12:16.34
which was
nightmarish and then you know
00:12:16.37\00:12:19.63
little better on
Sunday but not much and
00:12:19.66\00:12:22.35
then Monday night I
was starting to feel good
00:12:22.38\00:12:24.79
and I blew it, I took
that and I felt worse.
00:12:24.82\00:12:27.93
But you've been
doing alright since then.
00:12:27.96\00:12:29.57
Since I came here on
Monday night I've tried
00:12:29.60\00:12:31.70
like everybody
else do this myself
00:12:31.73\00:12:33.84
and never had success
like I've had this time
00:12:34.76\00:12:37.62
and I don't know why
but I think you made,
00:12:38.41\00:12:40.13
helped me make up my mind,
00:12:40.16\00:12:42.11
that I'm not
gonna do this anymore.
00:12:43.73\00:12:45.21
I'm proud of you,
thank you, don't you think
00:12:45.92\00:12:47.53
she shares a good idea?
00:12:47.56\00:12:48.68
That's the clue right
there, did you get it?
00:12:56.57\00:12:58.73
Made up my mind, and
the facts are that I can
00:12:59.44\00:13:04.51
help facilitate this,
but if you stop smoking
00:13:04.54\00:13:09.44
you deserve the
credit right, and don't try
00:13:09.47\00:13:13.16
to share it too much,
you did it for yourself
00:13:13.19\00:13:15.21
and I'm proud, hi
there, hi, what's your name?
00:13:15.24\00:13:17.46
Ed Chaplin, Ed
Chaplin, Ed have you been here
00:13:17.49\00:13:21.16
since the start of the program?
00:13:21.19\00:13:22.16
Since day one, since day one.
00:13:22.17\00:13:23.92
Alright and I'm
getting my pin tonight. Oh!
00:13:23.95\00:13:26.38
Now I've heard of
slow earners Ed but,
00:13:34.25\00:13:36.72
let's kind of tell
me you were just waiting
00:13:39.54\00:13:42.48
to see how long you
could hold out before
00:13:42.51\00:13:45.37
you really got on
board or what happened?
00:13:45.40\00:13:47.74
I just wanted to see if
you're telling the truth
00:13:47.77\00:13:49.39
that one or two
will hurt me everyday.
00:13:49.42\00:13:51.84
Then what
happened, then it hurts like,
00:13:52.48\00:13:53.84
so I nothing
today and it was better?
00:13:56.05\00:13:58.14
Much better, my
throat doesn't hurt.
00:13:58.73\00:14:00.62
But where were you
getting these one or two.
00:14:01.38\00:14:02.66
Guys at work you know
and the one guy today says,
00:14:03.17\00:14:06.89
I'm not give you any today.
00:14:06.92\00:14:07.97
He says you want a cigarette,
00:14:08.38\00:14:09.35
go and buy them.
So, you feeling pretty
00:14:09.36\00:14:17.79
good today, what are you gonna,
00:14:17.82\00:14:20.11
what are you
gonna do about tomorrow?
00:14:20.14\00:14:21.11
Do much better
because my kids won't
00:14:22.80\00:14:24.68
let me smoke anymore
and they won't let me
00:14:24.71\00:14:25.87
go to store and
buy them you know so.
00:14:25.90\00:14:27.33
Yeah, but now
we've got to get away
00:14:28.82\00:14:30.75
from the kids and get
it down with Ed, yeah.
00:14:30.78\00:14:33.28
Don't you think that's
where we're really happy?
00:14:33.31\00:14:34.87
Yeah. That's sure, I
think you're worth quitting
00:14:34.90\00:14:38.80
smoking for. I think
so, don't you think so?
00:14:38.83\00:14:42.53
I'm proud of you,
thank you. I appreciate you
00:14:43.80\00:14:45.27
coming, just a
moment, thank you. Alright,
00:14:45.30\00:14:51.04
well we've gone
ahead and found maybe
00:14:53.15\00:14:56.18
a few more of
those buttons to give out
00:14:56.21\00:14:57.42
in just a minute
but lets see where's my
00:14:57.45\00:14:59.96
helpers back here,
what are they have?
00:14:59.99\00:15:01.37
They have the
envelopes, is there anybody
00:15:01.40\00:15:04.91
that didn't get one of
these little envelopes,
00:15:04.94\00:15:08.06
I thought I had everything here,
00:15:10.13\00:15:11.17
somewhere I hid
behind here, well anyhow the
00:15:12.03\00:15:16.21
donation envelopes
anyone who wasn't here
00:15:16.24\00:15:17.91
last night and
didn't get a envelop,
00:15:17.94\00:15:19.98
just raise your
hand, here's one over here.
00:15:21.03\00:15:22.56
As I explain to you
we run by contributions,
00:15:25.11\00:15:29.19
but if you give us
what your cigarettes cost
00:15:30.15\00:15:33.55
you for a week
and that's a month and
00:15:33.58\00:15:36.45
you've already
got a weekend right?
00:15:36.48\00:15:37.59
Yeah, so that seems
fair enough from that,
00:15:38.69\00:15:41.37
we'll keep our
programs running and all over
00:15:41.40\00:15:46.60
those people that
you see helping me
00:15:46.63\00:15:48.20
and myself we
donate our services.
00:15:48.23\00:15:51.74
So, it all goes
back into the program and
00:15:53.23\00:15:55.13
we'll talk to you
tonight about a lot of
00:15:55.16\00:15:56.70
other programs
that we have, that
00:15:56.73\00:15:57.90
you might be
interested in getting into.
00:15:57.93\00:16:01.14
Okay, is there anybody
else needs one of those,
00:16:02.76\00:16:05.44
you can turn them into nights,
00:16:07.21\00:16:08.23
you can turn them in Monday,
00:16:08.26\00:16:09.36
just leave them
with one of the helpers
00:16:10.14\00:16:11.43
that you've seen
out there everyday
00:16:11.46\00:16:12.88
and if you need a
receipt you will get it
00:16:14.12\00:16:16.73
or your check can
serve as a receipt and
00:16:16.76\00:16:18.44
it is tax deductible.
Alright, all of those who
00:16:18.47\00:16:23.47
are like Ed, wanna
get a pin because today
00:16:23.50\00:16:27.26
they got off for the first time.
00:16:27.29\00:16:28.70
Would you stand. Oh!
Yes, give her hand thank you,
00:16:28.73\00:16:35.77
here's another oh
yes, isn't that good
00:16:36.76\00:16:47.28
and if you didn't
smoke today raise both hands.
00:16:49.47\00:16:51.37
Look at that, look
at that, look at that,
00:16:52.90\00:16:54.41
oh I wish we had
those who got snowed out
00:16:56.48\00:16:59.40
of away but isn't
that good? I am just so
00:16:59.43\00:17:02.62
proud of you. You
don't know what a,
00:17:02.65\00:17:07.22
what a pleasure it
is to see you succeeding
00:17:07.97\00:17:10.39
of something that's
been on your back and
00:17:10.42\00:17:12.30
troubled you and
bugged you for so long.
00:17:12.33\00:17:14.35
One lady said to me
I've smoke for 50 years,
00:17:15.32\00:17:17.42
I thought I had
never gonna get off and now
00:17:17.86\00:17:20.56
I'm free, isn't that
good? I mean that's just like
00:17:21.29\00:17:23.95
letting a hostage
lose. Letting a hostage lose.
00:17:23.98\00:17:29.85
Well, lets do a
little talking here.
00:17:33.34\00:17:36.51
I know that one of
the concerns that many
00:17:40.53\00:17:44.52
people have is
that if I stop smoking,
00:17:44.55\00:17:47.71
I'm gonna get fat,
does that concern anybody?
00:17:48.93\00:17:52.07
I have seen people
even go back to the smoking,
00:17:53.99\00:17:56.44
because they didn't
wanna gain the weight,
00:17:57.85\00:18:08.17
that's a bad
trade off from a health
00:18:09.36\00:18:12.63
point of view. Listen carefully,
00:18:12.66\00:18:14.87
you carry the
same risk to yourself
00:18:16.69\00:18:19.08
by smoking one pack of
cigarettes a day increased
00:18:19.11\00:18:23.60
health risk, you'd
have to gain a minimum
00:18:23.63\00:18:26.22
of 80 pounds
once you quit smoking.
00:18:26.25\00:18:28.28
So, don't ever say to yourself,
00:18:30.15\00:18:32.06
I'm gonna die of
obesity I might just well
00:18:33.45\00:18:36.17
go back to smoking.
Now, I admit you may not
00:18:36.20\00:18:38.78
want to look like a
blimp and all of that.
00:18:38.81\00:18:41.84
But don't use the
excuse that this is as
00:18:42.49\00:18:44.53
dangerous as my smoking because
00:18:44.56\00:18:47.90
every statistic tells us
that that's not so, okay.
00:18:48.45\00:18:51.99
Now, why do people
have a tendency to gain
00:18:53.17\00:18:57.57
weight once they stop smoking?
00:18:57.60\00:18:58.94
Well there's several
reasons. You're right,
00:19:01.07\00:19:05.74
hand to mouth he
says, well you're used to
00:19:05.77\00:19:09.29
putting a cigarette
in your mouth right,
00:19:09.32\00:19:11.07
and getting some
pleasure from it.
00:19:12.62\00:19:13.84
You don't have
cigarettes anymore so
00:19:15.59\00:19:17.11
what's the next
best substitute? Food,
00:19:17.69\00:19:20.13
food, not only that
but the food tastes better
00:19:21.68\00:19:26.35
than it ever
tasted, because the sense
00:19:26.38\00:19:30.34
of taste along with the
sense of smell and several
00:19:30.37\00:19:34.51
other sensations are
now returning to the smoker.
00:19:34.54\00:19:37.06
I had one participant
say to me one night you
00:19:37.85\00:19:42.48
wouldn't believe
it's about this night,
00:19:42.51\00:19:44.41
fourth night something like it.
00:19:44.44\00:19:45.79
He said you wouldn't
believe I had asparagus
00:19:45.82\00:19:47.89
last night I thought
that was just a green
00:19:47.92\00:19:49.53
vegetable you ate
because it was green but
00:19:49.56\00:19:51.83
he said that had
the most, most exotic,
00:19:51.86\00:19:54.99
esoteric flavors I'd
forgotten that asparagus
00:19:55.02\00:19:58.28
tasted like anything at
all, isn't that interesting.
00:19:58.31\00:20:01.06
And now you see,
you're used to putting
00:20:02.17\00:20:04.12
something in your
mouth, you're used to
00:20:04.15\00:20:05.67
getting pleasure
from it and here you have
00:20:05.70\00:20:07.70
all this delicious
food. You have a second
00:20:07.73\00:20:10.68
honeymoon with food. I
mean really good stuff,
00:20:10.71\00:20:16.09
alright. There is
another reason that people
00:20:17.78\00:20:20.22
tend to gain weight
when they stop smoking.
00:20:20.25\00:20:22.32
Part of it is that
their basal metabolic rate
00:20:23.63\00:20:26.40
tends to slow down.
So, that while you're
00:20:27.24\00:20:31.34
sitting around
you're actually losing,
00:20:31.37\00:20:33.53
using less calories
so that it takes a while
00:20:34.45\00:20:39.72
for that to get
back and readjust itself.
00:20:39.75\00:20:42.35
In addition to
that it hasn't been well
00:20:44.32\00:20:47.12
studied but I believe
it's true, I believe one
00:20:47.15\00:20:50.51
of the big reasons
people have a tendency
00:20:50.54\00:20:52.37
to gain weight once
they stopped smoking,
00:20:52.40\00:20:54.18
is that their heart is
burning many less calories.
00:20:54.91\00:20:58.16
In general when a
person stops smoking his
00:20:59.71\00:21:01.49
blood pressure
drops about 10 points.
00:21:01.52\00:21:03.75
In addition his
heart rate drops about 10
00:21:05.07\00:21:07.40
beats a minute. Now
when you consider that
00:21:08.25\00:21:10.59
your heart is a big
muscle and it's pumping
00:21:10.62\00:21:13.76
hundreds of
gallons of blood everyday
00:21:13.79\00:21:17.03
and now it's slowed
down and its smiling dub,
00:21:17.79\00:21:20.75
dub, dub, dub instead
of working so hard, it's
00:21:20.78\00:21:24.71
burning less calories,
you see what I'm saying.
00:21:25.28\00:21:28.93
And therefore there
is a tendency to gain
00:21:29.99\00:21:34.42
a little weight. Now,
it is true that everybody
00:21:34.45\00:21:37.06
doesn't gain weight,
I've seen people even
00:21:37.09\00:21:39.73
lose weight. And
the average person gains
00:21:39.76\00:21:42.67
somewhere around 5
to 7 pounds once they
00:21:42.70\00:21:46.86
stop smoking. But let
me tell you something,
00:21:46.89\00:21:50.15
I wanted to, something
that maybe you wouldn't
00:21:50.85\00:21:53.12
like to hear, but I
believe telling the truth,
00:21:53.15\00:21:56.41
and then you'll know
the truth and the truth
00:21:57.83\00:22:00.46
will keep you from
making bad mistakes.
00:22:00.49\00:22:02.52
What I've
discovered is that the tendency
00:22:04.31\00:22:06.85
to gain weight lasts at
the most about six months.
00:22:06.88\00:22:10.20
After six months
people have a tendency to
00:22:13.43\00:22:16.85
plateau and then if
they wanna work at it they
00:22:16.88\00:22:20.42
can lose that
weight relatively easily.
00:22:20.45\00:22:22.76
I suggest that while
you're stopping smoking
00:22:24.66\00:22:27.19
that should be
your emphases, okay.
00:22:27.22\00:22:30.28
Take care of the
weight if you have to a
00:22:31.55\00:22:34.31
little bit later, okay.
But try to avoid putting
00:22:34.34\00:22:41.62
it all on, how can you do that?
00:22:41.65\00:22:43.49
Well, don't get a
bunch of chocolate covered
00:22:43.52\00:22:46.65
nuts to start it,
because give those to me,
00:22:47.36\00:22:51.83
because if you keep
sticking those things
00:22:54.14\00:22:55.92
in your mouth or
some soft candies you know
00:22:55.95\00:22:58.90
you can just
load up tremendously.
00:22:58.93\00:23:01.00
If you have to have
something in your mouth
00:23:01.81\00:23:03.23
try some
sugarless gum, toothpicks,
00:23:04.20\00:23:06.57
sugarless candies
or something like that,
00:23:07.21\00:23:09.30
or some lower
caloric things such as carrot
00:23:09.33\00:23:12.09
sticks and celery
sticks and the other stuff
00:23:12.12\00:23:13.89
you've heard about for diet.
00:23:13.92\00:23:15.47
Now I wanted you
to understand why the
00:23:16.73\00:23:18.35
problem and now
I'm gonna tell you what
00:23:18.38\00:23:20.51
you can do about
the problem if you don't
00:23:20.54\00:23:23.25
want to gain weight, alright.
00:23:23.28\00:23:24.93
Now, listen
carefully, first of all let me
00:23:26.02\00:23:28.46
tell you why? Did
you know that people
00:23:28.49\00:23:32.51
that try to lose
weight by diet, there is more
00:23:32.54\00:23:36.79
recidivism, do you
understand that word,
00:23:37.86\00:23:39.52
going back to the
same place that you were
00:23:39.55\00:23:44.84
than there is with
any other habit including
00:23:44.87\00:23:47.60
smoking, alcoholism and drugs.
00:23:47.63\00:23:49.85
People that diet to lose weight.
00:23:51.77\00:23:53.83
Ninety percent of
them will gain that
00:23:54.36\00:23:56.00
weight back again
and those people who
00:23:56.03\00:24:00.57
go on repeated diets
get fatter and fatter
00:24:00.60\00:24:05.12
and fatter, and
you'd say why is that?
00:24:05.84\00:24:09.64
Now let me explain
to you what happens and
00:24:09.67\00:24:12.66
then you can avoid
making this mistake.
00:24:12.69\00:24:14.70
So, I decided
I'm going on a diet,
00:24:17.04\00:24:19.62
I cut my calories
way down to where I'm
00:24:21.43\00:24:26.87
starting you know and
there's a thousand diet
00:24:27.47\00:24:29.04
books out there. I
don't suppose that any
00:24:29.07\00:24:31.42
publisher made as
much money as those
00:24:31.45\00:24:33.28
people that publish diet books,
00:24:33.31\00:24:34.63
doctor so and so
diet, Jane Fonda's diet,
00:24:35.29\00:24:37.97
Uncle Raymond's
diet whoever you know
00:24:38.00\00:24:41.78
everybody's got a
diet book and most of them
00:24:41.81\00:24:45.49
the principle is
cut calories. If you cut
00:24:46.17\00:24:50.36
calories you lose
weight? Yes, the answer is yes.
00:24:50.39\00:24:54.97
So let's assume
that now I decide I want
00:24:55.00\00:24:57.58
to lose ten pounds, alright,
00:24:57.61\00:25:01.23
so I go on this diet, slim
fast, optifast, who's fast,
00:25:01.83\00:25:06.89
medifast, I don't
know. Whatever it is I'm
00:25:06.92\00:25:09.97
getting less
calories and I'm burning,
00:25:10.00\00:25:11.59
so I'm losing
weight, and the first day
00:25:12.55\00:25:14.52
I step on the scale
and oh look at that,
00:25:14.55\00:25:16.80
I lose about four
pounds, what did I largely lose?
00:25:18.11\00:25:22.36
Water, water you've
got it, so I lose water,
00:25:23.47\00:25:26.60
that's because I'm
eating less salt and I'm
00:25:29.49\00:25:32.95
also burning up
the glycogen and the
00:25:32.98\00:25:36.95
glycogen is tied up
with water and the glycogen
00:25:36.98\00:25:39.98
is my immediate
energy source and as I burn
00:25:40.01\00:25:42.82
up the glycogen in my muscles,
00:25:42.85\00:25:44.32
the glycogen in my
liver, I'm losing a lot of water
00:25:44.35\00:25:48.66
and I'm urinating
it right down the path
00:25:49.70\00:25:51.96
and there is no
better way to lose weight
00:25:51.99\00:25:53.59
and I lose about
four pounds of water. But
00:25:54.61\00:25:56.57
I persist, I stick
with my diet and much more
00:26:00.08\00:26:05.80
slowly now I notice it's
coming down a little bit,
00:26:05.83\00:26:11.21
and I keep on
coming down and I lose
00:26:13.09\00:26:16.60
six pounds, some of
that is fat that's what
00:26:17.19\00:26:21.90
I wanted to get rid of
and I lose three pound of fat.
00:26:21.93\00:26:26.89
But at the same
time, I'm also losing lean
00:26:30.30\00:26:33.77
body mass, mostly
muscle. So, I lose,
00:26:33.80\00:26:40.77
we'll say here muscle,
but did we lose some other
00:26:41.32\00:26:44.24
things as well. And I
lose three pounds of that
00:26:44.27\00:26:50.06
and voila!
Beautiful, I've lost ten pounds.
00:26:51.67\00:26:55.52
I can go back to
eating like I ate before.
00:26:56.07\00:26:59.16
Only now I have a real problem,
00:27:02.41\00:27:04.42
when I went on this
diet my brain said watch out,
00:27:05.11\00:27:10.69
you're starving, slow
down the basal metabolic rate.
00:27:11.40\00:27:14.79
We've got to conserve resources,
00:27:15.91\00:27:17.88
so my basal
metabolic rate drops,
00:27:19.37\00:27:21.83
so when I'm sitting
around I'm burning off less
00:27:22.74\00:27:25.66
calories. In addition
to this I have less muscle
00:27:26.71\00:27:31.08
to burn off energy,
so I've got my dropped
00:27:32.33\00:27:35.86
basal metabolic
rate, I have less muscle
00:27:36.38\00:27:39.42
and I go back to
eating, tastes good again
00:27:39.99\00:27:42.58
after being off for a
while but you know what
00:27:42.61\00:27:44.25
I have to eat even
less than I did before
00:27:45.31\00:27:47.31
and I go around hungry
all the time and pretty
00:27:47.90\00:27:50.34
soon I don't like
going around hungry all the
00:27:50.37\00:27:52.32
time and I start
to put on weight.
00:27:52.35\00:27:55.86
And I put it on you
see and my basal metabolic
00:27:58.64\00:28:01.45
rate is low and I get
fat again without eating
00:28:01.48\00:28:05.38
too much and then
I go on another diet,
00:28:05.41\00:28:07.20
and I lose more
muscle and my basal
00:28:08.60\00:28:11.37
metabolic rate is
down and every time I go,
00:28:11.40\00:28:14.26
the next time I have
to eat less and less until
00:28:14.86\00:28:17.52
some people can
actually stay stable or
00:28:17.55\00:28:22.08
lose weight on 900
to a 1000 calories a day
00:28:22.11\00:28:25.72
which is
basically a starvation diet.
00:28:26.51\00:28:29.62
No wonder they
go back and get fat,
00:28:30.78\00:28:34.02
that's the problem, so
now that I have lost my
00:28:35.87\00:28:42.46
smoking habits and
I want to look well,
00:28:42.49\00:28:45.71
what can I do? Well,
there is a way and here
00:28:47.08\00:28:58.62
is the clue, you
will never guess. Exercise
00:28:58.65\00:29:02.70
that is the
principle of weight control,
00:29:14.58\00:29:23.53
the main
principle of weight control,
00:29:24.12\00:29:26.86
because as I
exercise what do I burn off?
00:29:28.28\00:29:31.35
I burn off calories
not only that but I kick up
00:29:32.40\00:29:37.10
my basal metabolic
rate, not only that
00:29:37.61\00:29:41.59
I build some
muscle now that presents
00:29:42.12\00:29:47.17
some what of a
problem because I may step
00:29:47.20\00:29:50.62
on the scale and notice
that I haven't lost much
00:29:50.65\00:29:55.62
weight but my belt
seems to be getting tighter,
00:29:55.65\00:30:00.50
my dress size is
dropping because muscle
00:30:00.98\00:30:05.44
is heavier than
fat, you understand what
00:30:06.28\00:30:09.94
I'm saying, so it's
possible for a person to
00:30:09.97\00:30:12.45
be nice and fit
and trim, but not weigh
00:30:12.48\00:30:16.67
like a feather
because they're solidly and
00:30:18.28\00:30:21.09
firmly built, they
got rid of the flab do you
00:30:21.74\00:30:25.11
know what I'm
saying? Some of these
00:30:25.14\00:30:26.71
football players you
know they weight 300 pounds
00:30:26.74\00:30:29.02
most of that may
well be muscle you see
00:30:29.05\00:30:33.01
and they can be
perfectly fit, they're not,
00:30:33.58\00:30:35.57
many of them are not very fat.
00:30:36.28\00:30:38.20
So, this is the
principle here. Number one,
00:30:38.71\00:30:41.89
I lose calories and
calories represent fat or
00:30:42.79\00:30:51.63
whatever else I lose calories,
00:30:51.66\00:30:53.23
I increase my
basal metabolic rates,
00:30:53.76\00:30:57.28
so that probably
while I'm sitting at
00:30:57.31\00:31:00.68
my desk I will
actually burn off more calories
00:31:01.18\00:31:04.65
from my increased
basal metabolic rate during
00:31:05.33\00:31:12.87
the day then I actually
burned off in my exercise
00:31:12.90\00:31:15.46
during the morning,
so the benefits persist
00:31:16.43\00:31:19.37
for 8 to 24 hours
even after my exercise
00:31:19.40\00:31:23.60
is done. So, let
me recommend to you
00:31:24.75\00:31:30.11
getting yourself on a
good exercise program.
00:31:31.41\00:31:36.34
There is nothing
that I would rather see
00:31:37.20\00:31:39.63
you do than to get
on an exercise program
00:31:39.66\00:31:42.64
once this program is through.
00:31:42.67\00:31:44.95
Exercise is a great
tranquilizer and if you're
00:31:46.92\00:31:51.65
a little nervous
what not about being off
00:31:51.68\00:31:54.43
your cigarettes and
you get out and have
00:31:54.46\00:31:56.50
a good period of
exercise everyday,
00:31:56.53\00:31:58.71
its gonna put
those beta endorphins out
00:31:59.51\00:32:01.15
of your brain and
then you're gonna feel
00:32:01.18\00:32:03.30
comfortable with yourself,
00:32:03.33\00:32:04.51
you're gonna feel
good but in addition
00:32:05.27\00:32:06.73
to you will burning
off with the few extra
00:32:06.76\00:32:09.13
calories that you
sticking in your mouth
00:32:09.16\00:32:10.78
because food
tastes so good, alright.
00:32:10.81\00:32:16.03
Exercise, how
important that is? Now,
00:32:16.95\00:32:21.39
I don't believe
anybody should get on a diet
00:32:23.53\00:32:26.70
or I should put here
that you get a little
00:32:27.98\00:32:29.96
bit of increased
muscle, so don't ever throw
00:32:29.99\00:32:33.73
your scale away,
throw your scale away
00:32:33.76\00:32:37.75
and take yourself out
of tape measure yourself
00:32:37.78\00:32:41.83
around here and
around here and maybe around
00:32:41.86\00:32:45.33
your thighs, but
forget what the scale says
00:32:45.36\00:32:48.41
because if you're on
a good exercise program
00:32:48.44\00:32:50.62
you will be trimming up,
you will be looking good.
00:32:51.38\00:32:54.41
Everyone will say
you're losing weight and you
00:32:54.93\00:32:57.23
say I really lost much weight,
00:32:57.26\00:32:59.74
but who cares you
wanna look good and
00:33:01.43\00:33:04.78
you wanna feel
good isn't that it.
00:33:04.81\00:33:06.51
And exercise will
provide that for you, alright.
00:33:07.53\00:33:12.03
Now, I don't
recommend that anybody goes
00:33:12.83\00:33:21.11
on a diet that they
can't live on for the rest
00:33:21.14\00:33:24.69
of your life. I
would rather see people
00:33:24.72\00:33:30.50
if they need to lose
weight get on a exercise
00:33:31.19\00:33:32.96
program, maybe make
some dietary changes
00:33:32.99\00:33:36.66
but lose half pound a
month. Did you ever stop
00:33:38.08\00:33:43.54
to think, if you did
that for a year how much
00:33:43.57\00:33:44.93
you lose during
the year? Six pounds,
00:33:44.96\00:33:47.96
you did that for three
years, eighteen pounds.
00:33:47.99\00:33:51.21
How did you put
it on in general?
00:33:51.24\00:33:52.78
You know we put
these twenty pounds on over
00:33:54.16\00:33:56.32
a forty, thirty
year period and we wanna
00:33:56.35\00:33:58.61
lose it in thirty
days, you think that makes
00:33:58.64\00:34:00.75
sense from a
physiological point of view?
00:34:00.78\00:34:03.80
No, I would like to
see you lose it slowly,
00:34:04.83\00:34:08.10
it's much more
likely to stay off.
00:34:08.13\00:34:10.59
Now, you know as
well as I know that you
00:34:11.65\00:34:14.61
can't stay miserable for
a prolonged period of time,
00:34:14.64\00:34:17.32
that's why I tell
people as I, to my patients
00:34:21.34\00:34:25.11
as I deal with them
about their smoking habit.
00:34:25.14\00:34:27.17
They say doc I'm
only having one or two
00:34:27.96\00:34:30.02
cigarettes and I tell
them, I know a lady and
00:34:30.05\00:34:34.17
she's only a
little bit pregnant.
00:34:34.20\00:34:35.68
Because you see I
know that no one can stay
00:34:38.84\00:34:42.98
on one or two
cigarettes that had an
00:34:43.01\00:34:44.80
established smoking
habit for a long period of
00:34:44.83\00:34:46.96
time oh yes you know
some people like that
00:34:46.99\00:34:49.86
and everybody thinks
they can simulate them,
00:34:50.84\00:34:52.61
but those people never
were confirmed smokers,
00:34:53.57\00:34:56.61
they're always piddly
diddling with the habit,
00:34:56.64\00:34:58.43
one or two cigarettes
a day. No one ever went
00:34:59.06\00:35:01.46
from three packs a
day to three cigarettes
00:35:01.49\00:35:03.35
a day and stayed
there, it hasn't happen yet.
00:35:03.38\00:35:06.17
I haven't seen it and
I've been looking for it.
00:35:07.58\00:35:09.62
Some people who
made it work for a month
00:35:11.06\00:35:12.65
or two they were
miserable the whole
00:35:12.68\00:35:14.75
month for two and
then they went right
00:35:14.78\00:35:16.25
back to smoking what
they were doing before.
00:35:16.28\00:35:18.23
You can't be a
part time smoker and you
00:35:18.87\00:35:21.29
can't be a part time
eater, you can't go around
00:35:21.32\00:35:24.08
hungry for long. Sooner or later
00:35:24.11\00:35:27.58
you're gonna say
nuts to it and go back
00:35:27.61\00:35:31.55
to eat like you ate,
eating like you ate before.
00:35:31.58\00:35:36.37
Do you believe
that? Yeah you won't be
00:35:36.40\00:35:38.65
miserable that's what's
the problem with the diet,
00:35:38.68\00:35:41.42
standard diet, so
what should you do.
00:35:42.91\00:35:45.37
Well you should eat
food that will fill you up
00:35:46.50\00:35:49.56
and when you leave
the table you shouldn't go
00:35:51.68\00:35:54.20
away hungry. Now
how do you do that?
00:35:54.23\00:35:57.93
Well, I'll tell
you how you do it;
00:35:59.25\00:36:00.60
you eat food
that will fill you up.
00:36:00.63\00:36:02.64
Now, the problem
with the American diet
00:36:04.36\00:36:07.10
is that very few
of us eat food anymore
00:36:09.02\00:36:12.86
like the good Lord put
it here. You go to your
00:36:12.89\00:36:19.47
store and you look and
90 percent of the stuff
00:36:19.50\00:36:23.31
on the shelves
is not really food,
00:36:23.34\00:36:25.71
its manufactured chemistry.
00:36:25.74\00:36:27.54
You just read the
package and half the time
00:36:30.95\00:36:34.20
you can't understand
it, have you ever tried
00:36:34.23\00:36:36.33
reading those,
those ingredients,
00:36:36.36\00:36:38.75
I mean they made
creamers that never
00:36:39.44\00:36:41.13
saw a cow.
Yeah, you know I mean,
00:36:41.16\00:36:45.68
and they got
stabilizers and balancers and
00:36:46.92\00:36:49.98
things to make it
stay on the shelf for
00:36:50.01\00:36:51.87
six months without going rancid,
00:36:51.90\00:36:53.71
and it just isn't
food, but the problem
00:36:54.95\00:37:00.08
is that as Americans
by large we have develop
00:37:00.11\00:37:04.13
taste for junk food.
We have developed taste
00:37:04.73\00:37:11.15
for junk food,
what is junk food?
00:37:12.24\00:37:14.93
Well junk food
basically is refined food and
00:37:15.53\00:37:20.18
the two main ingredients
that the manufactures
00:37:20.21\00:37:23.39
like to put in
food to make it taste
00:37:23.42\00:37:26.96
good is sugar, salt
too. But I'm talking about
00:37:26.99\00:37:34.59
calories now and fat.
You just stop to think
00:37:34.62\00:37:41.47
about all those things
that you think real good
00:37:41.50\00:37:44.04
about and tell me
if they not loaded with
00:37:44.07\00:37:45.70
sugar and fat have
you heard of ice-cream,
00:37:45.73\00:37:47.41
brownies, fudge
bars, dough bars,
00:37:48.88\00:37:54.25
chocolate covered
nuts you name it and most
00:37:55.35\00:38:01.18
of these things that we
really kind of celebrate
00:38:01.21\00:38:03.98
over are loaded
with sugar and fats,
00:38:04.01\00:38:07.99
and we have developed
tastes for those foods.
00:38:08.60\00:38:13.24
Now, when I eat
all these high sugared,
00:38:14.83\00:38:17.40
lets say we're talking
about breakfast cereals
00:38:18.02\00:38:20.29
do you know there
are some cereals out
00:38:20.32\00:38:21.68
there in the market
that actually have more
00:38:21.71\00:38:23.61
sugar than grain in
them. And do you know
00:38:23.64\00:38:27.46
that the food
manufacturing industry
00:38:27.98\00:38:30.28
is out to fool you
and you know how they
00:38:30.92\00:38:33.86
try to do it with sugars?
Yes, you're exactly right.
00:38:33.89\00:38:39.07
Most people know
that the ingredients
00:38:39.66\00:38:42.74
have to be on the
package according the
00:38:42.77\00:38:46.41
largest first and
then on down and they don't
00:38:46.44\00:38:49.24
wanna put sugar
first, so what do they do?
00:38:49.27\00:38:53.28
We have corn syrup
solids, dextrose, glucose,
00:38:54.63\00:39:00.55
fructose, maltose,
maybe even some sucrose
00:39:01.19\00:39:06.39
and when you get
down you can have
00:39:07.58\00:39:09.26
75 percent sugar
and have something else
00:39:09.29\00:39:12.39
up front. They want
you to think it's good
00:39:12.42\00:39:17.69
and they wanna also
fool you, I'm sorry,
00:39:19.17\00:39:21.98
excuse me, the food
industry is doing it,
00:39:23.11\00:39:25.15
but it is doing it.
How much bulk is there
00:39:25.18\00:39:29.11
in sugar, fiber?
None, how much minerals?
00:39:29.14\00:39:34.14
None, how much vitamins? None,
00:39:35.60\00:39:38.78
and yet many pf us
get a great deal of our
00:39:39.76\00:39:41.87
energy from refined
sugar and you can put
00:39:41.90\00:39:47.52
that food with that
sugar in your stomach
00:39:47.55\00:39:50.12
and walk away
hungry because there's
00:39:50.72\00:39:53.00
basically no space
filled. Do you understand
00:39:53.64\00:39:56.52
what I'm saying? You
got a ton of calories
00:39:56.55\00:39:59.56
but you're still
hungry, same way with fats.
00:40:00.28\00:40:04.57
We eat a lot of
fat, fats have nearly,
00:40:08.02\00:40:10.95
well they have more
then twice as many calories
00:40:10.98\00:40:13.43
per weight as
sugar, did you know that?
00:40:14.12\00:40:15.55
Carbohydrate is four
calories per gram and
00:40:16.74\00:40:18.86
fats are nine calories
per gram and we eat all
00:40:18.89\00:40:25.77
kinds of refined fats. Now,
00:40:25.80\00:40:29.24
what I'm suggesting
to you, I'm suggesting
00:40:29.27\00:40:31.02
that you think
about what you are eating
00:40:31.05\00:40:32.70
and try to get back
to eating largely food
00:40:33.30\00:40:36.32
like it comes from
the earth or the tree
00:40:37.34\00:40:41.26
or the plant,
because if you do that
00:40:42.51\00:40:45.45
and you don't
load it down with sugar
00:40:46.20\00:40:47.74
in fact you can
eat and eat and eat and
00:40:47.77\00:40:52.88
eat and not get fat
and you can walk away
00:40:52.91\00:40:57.21
from the table
feeling quite comfortable.
00:40:57.24\00:41:00.05
Let's just take
bread, have you heard of
00:41:03.52\00:41:09.80
Wonder bread. You
know why they call it
00:41:09.83\00:41:13.33
Wonder bread,
cause you squeeze it you
00:41:13.36\00:41:16.63
wonder where it
went, I mean it practically
00:41:16.66\00:41:20.29
fills nothing but
every slice is probably good,
00:41:20.32\00:41:24.61
I got to be
careful because I saw my
00:41:25.18\00:41:26.15
daughter walk in, she's
a dietitian but probably
00:41:26.16\00:41:28.10
around 70 calories
you see then we put
00:41:28.13\00:41:30.65
a 100 calories of
butter on it and we got
00:41:30.68\00:41:33.05
a 170 calories
and you can eat 3 or 4
00:41:33.08\00:41:35.40
slices of that
right, and what comes out?
00:41:35.43\00:41:38.16
Man, it comes out
here because you see
00:41:39.27\00:41:41.92
you don't very
full. Now, I guarantee you
00:41:41.95\00:41:46.13
if you start with a
good solid piece of whole
00:41:46.52\00:41:49.97
grain bread you won't
eat three or four slices
00:41:50.00\00:41:52.35
you know that and
that one slice of bread
00:41:52.38\00:41:55.64
will not have any
more calories than that
00:41:55.67\00:41:57.58
Wonder bread. So,
I eat good, my wife,
00:41:57.94\00:42:04.22
we got for
Christmas the kids give her
00:42:04.25\00:42:06.10
one of those bread
makers you know you just
00:42:06.13\00:42:09.85
dump the stuff in
and hey she's got it so,
00:42:09.88\00:42:12.56
she's got it down to
about 100 percent whole
00:42:12.59\00:42:14.10
wheat, now and I
add one of those slices
00:42:14.13\00:42:17.34
for along with my
lentil soup for supper
00:42:17.37\00:42:19.52
tonight and you know
what? That fills you up,
00:42:19.55\00:42:22.90
that stuff is heavy.
Now when you chew it,
00:42:24.10\00:42:27.38
it's delicious, it's
nutty, it's flavor full,
00:42:27.41\00:42:31.56
or you say well I
don't like it, aha!
00:42:31.59\00:42:33.83
Listen to me now
because I'm going
00:42:38.27\00:42:39.99
to give you a principle
that if you take to heart,
00:42:40.02\00:42:45.71
it will solve
your eating problem,
00:42:46.70\00:42:48.71
are you ready? I'm
only going to share
00:42:50.40\00:42:53.01
it with you now,
you won't tell anybody
00:42:53.04\00:42:55.13
else right? Yeah,
listen to it we don't eat
00:42:55.16\00:43:00.56
what we like, we
like what we eat.
00:43:00.59\00:43:04.68
Now I am going to
drive by that one again.
00:43:07.39\00:43:08.68
Now, you don't eat
what we like as much
00:43:10.39\00:43:11.79
as we like what we
eat, now you say me
00:43:11.82\00:43:13.98
explain that to
me. Why do the Chinese
00:43:14.01\00:43:15.98
like Chinese food?
Because they eat it you
00:43:16.01\00:43:23.47
got it, why do the Mexicans like
00:43:23.50\00:43:25.49
Mexican food,
because they eat it,
00:43:25.52\00:43:29.06
why do the
Americans likes junk food,
00:43:30.36\00:43:33.85
because you eat it, you've got,
00:43:35.35\00:43:37.34
you've got the point,
and if you keep eating
00:43:38.21\00:43:41.18
it you like it
whether it's good for you
00:43:42.64\00:43:44.41
or bad for you.
Are you listening?
00:43:44.44\00:43:48.82
This is a very important
principle for diet change,
00:43:49.55\00:43:54.79
okay I have a
son-in-law who thinks mashed
00:43:56.36\00:44:03.29
potatoes are only
good if they come out
00:44:03.32\00:44:04.98
one of these boxes,
I mean he might well
00:44:05.01\00:44:08.67
eat cardboard
from my point of view.
00:44:08.70\00:44:10.55
But if you take and
cook up a good potato
00:44:11.34\00:44:12.96
and smashed it you
know he thinks man,
00:44:12.99\00:44:16.41
that's a funny
tasting potato you know why?
00:44:17.10\00:44:18.37
Because his mother
fed him potatoes out
00:44:20.02\00:44:22.00
of cardboard boxes,
and if you eat potatoes
00:44:22.03\00:44:26.07
out of cardboard
boxes, potatoes out of
00:44:26.10\00:44:28.52
cardboard boxes taste
better than real potatoes.
00:44:28.55\00:44:31.32
But if you quit
eating potatoes out of the
00:44:33.75\00:44:34.96
cardboard boxes and
you start eating real
00:44:34.99\00:44:36.86
potatoes, pretty
soon the real potatoes
00:44:36.89\00:44:39.30
are going to taste
better than the potatoes
00:44:39.33\00:44:40.79
out of the cardboard boxes.
00:44:40.82\00:44:42.11
If you're a white
bread eater and you will
00:44:44.12\00:44:45.72
put that stuff aside
and quit eating it for
00:44:45.75\00:44:47.81
a month or two I
guarantee you will never
00:44:47.84\00:44:50.34
go back to cotton
balls again. Serious,
00:44:50.37\00:44:54.31
it won't happen I
approve this to myself.
00:44:55.32\00:44:58.39
I told you the
other night we were,
00:45:00.51\00:45:02.17
I was a mission
surgeon in Pakistan and what
00:45:02.20\00:45:05.35
I didn't share
with you was I'm also a
00:45:05.38\00:45:07.30
vegetarian and
when we got to Pakistan
00:45:07.33\00:45:10.43
and I looked at the
cows, I was glad I was
00:45:12.31\00:45:14.00
a vegetarian but I
found out in a summer
00:45:14.03\00:45:18.49
there was only two
vegetables that were
00:45:19.05\00:45:20.57
economically
purchased, eggplant and okra
00:45:20.60\00:45:25.41
and those were the
only two vegetables that
00:45:27.13\00:45:29.22
I didn't like. Fact is
these were nose holding
00:45:29.25\00:45:37.80
kind of vegetables,
so I told my wife honey
00:45:38.51\00:45:43.53
I think we're gonna learn
to like eggplant and okra,
00:45:43.56\00:45:46.23
and she brought it
home, and she tried to fix it,
00:45:47.25\00:45:49.60
and it tasted
terrible and I gagged and
00:45:50.82\00:45:54.05
I held my nose and
I eat it and I kept
00:45:54.08\00:45:56.79
eating it along with
a few other expensive
00:45:56.82\00:45:59.12
things like tomatoes
or what not you could
00:45:59.15\00:46:01.39
buy there, but
eggplant and okra,
00:46:01.42\00:46:03.80
it was a non food you know.
00:46:04.82\00:46:06.17
There was another
problem I had when I got
00:46:09.45\00:46:10.90
to Pakistan, I didn't
like Indian food curry,
00:46:10.93\00:46:13.83
that was bad
smelling and bad looking.
00:46:15.72\00:46:17.88
And people kept
inviting us over to their
00:46:20.57\00:46:22.24
house you know here is
the new American doctor
00:46:22.27\00:46:24.68
come out over we
will make you a good
00:46:24.71\00:46:26.61
Indian dinner. So,
you go over there and
00:46:26.64\00:46:28.96
they gave you this
Indian food and they say
00:46:28.99\00:46:30.89
how is it? You say
good, well let me give you
00:46:30.92\00:46:32.45
some more. You
lie just a little bit,
00:46:32.48\00:46:36.54
because you don't
wanna hurt their feelings
00:46:36.57\00:46:38.04
and you keep eating
it. And after a year or
00:46:38.07\00:46:41.80
so it begins to
taste better and even the
00:46:41.83\00:46:45.08
eggplant and okra
isn't bad anymore.
00:46:45.11\00:46:48.02
And I can tell you now
if I go down Greek town
00:46:49.36\00:46:51.20
and I look for a
meal, I look on whether if
00:46:52.47\00:46:54.98
they got any eggplant or okra,
00:46:55.01\00:46:56.75
because now it's delicious.
00:46:57.58\00:46:58.57
Now believe me if
you can make eggplant
00:46:59.97\00:47:01.37
or okra delicious by eating it,
00:47:02.04\00:47:04.45
I'm sure you can
make that principle apply
00:47:04.48\00:47:06.23
to anything else.
And if I go to one of the
00:47:06.26\00:47:08.73
major cities for a
medical meeting you know
00:47:08.76\00:47:11.48
I can smell an Indian
restaurant and my nose
00:47:11.51\00:47:13.84
starts to twitch,
I wanna go in there
00:47:13.87\00:47:16.72
and get some curry
and some chapattis,
00:47:17.57\00:47:20.55
I thought those were
tasteless things when
00:47:21.55\00:47:22.76
I first tried them but
you know they're really
00:47:22.79\00:47:24.15
good if you, if you
what? If you eat them,
00:47:24.18\00:47:31.02
not like them, if you
eat them you will like them,
00:47:31.47\00:47:36.09
okay. So, you're
used to eating junk food,
00:47:36.71\00:47:41.10
now is a good
time to start thinking
00:47:41.95\00:47:45.18
about a good
whole grain breakfast
00:47:45.21\00:47:46.68
I talked to you about the other,
00:47:46.71\00:47:47.91
other program you
remember that yeah
00:47:47.94\00:47:50.72
oatmeal, red river
cereal, whole grain rolls
00:47:50.75\00:47:55.46
and well I make the
one the other day with
00:47:56.64\00:47:58.66
cracked wheat and
oats mixed them up,
00:47:58.69\00:48:00.19
put a few raisins and
nuts, oh it was delicious
00:48:00.22\00:48:03.52
and then eat it
with a grape fruit or an
00:48:04.55\00:48:06.55
orange you know that
you will get less calories
00:48:06.58\00:48:08.25
that way than you
are drinking the orange
00:48:08.28\00:48:09.64
juice and
drinking the grape juice.
00:48:09.67\00:48:13.08
You see if we get
back to eating the food
00:48:13.11\00:48:15.17
again like it
comes, you can eat and eat
00:48:15.20\00:48:18.71
and eat and enjoy it
and enjoy it and enjoy it
00:48:18.74\00:48:21.05
and everything
will taste pretty good.
00:48:21.91\00:48:23.66
Let's talk about this
fat here do you like corn
00:48:24.56\00:48:29.95
on the cob? Yeah,
yeah I don't know how
00:48:29.98\00:48:33.04
many calories, how
many calories are in
00:48:33.07\00:48:36.12
the corn on the cob
without the fat on it,
00:48:36.15\00:48:37.63
where's my sister?
100 maybe 70 anybody
00:48:37.66\00:48:41.64
know how many
calories corn on the cob sis?
00:48:41.67\00:48:43.70
Okay, I will take
her because she's in this
00:48:47.23\00:48:49.82
business all the
time so somewhere in that
00:48:49.85\00:48:52.32
neighborhood,
alright, but you know what
00:48:52.35\00:48:56.17
we do with a corn on the cob,
00:48:56.20\00:48:57.44
we take it and we
squeeze the fat out
00:48:58.47\00:49:00.27
of it you know
what we make corn oil,
00:49:00.30\00:49:04.71
have you heard of that? Yeah,
00:49:06.75\00:49:08.47
good goes in your mayonnaise,
00:49:08.50\00:49:09.85
goes into this that
and the other thing,
00:49:09.88\00:49:11.52
how many years of
corn you think you could
00:49:12.29\00:49:13.26
eat? 3, 4, 1, 2
whatever not too many right.
00:49:13.29\00:49:18.49
You'd be, you'd be
full won't you? Okay,
00:49:19.93\00:49:23.47
but you know we do each
table spoon of corn oil,
00:49:23.50\00:49:27.56
one table spoon corn
oil is all the fat from
00:49:28.50\00:49:33.55
14 years of corn.
So, you take a couple of
00:49:33.58\00:49:41.47
tablespoons of corn
oil you put it on your
00:49:41.50\00:49:43.68
salad in the way of
dressing or whatever
00:49:43.71\00:49:46.30
and you see what you've done,
00:49:47.40\00:49:48.37
you've had all the
fat from 28 years of corn.
00:49:48.38\00:49:51.48
Do you see why it's
easy to get fat when
00:49:52.71\00:49:54.88
we're eating refined products?
00:49:54.91\00:49:58.10
Let's take a loot
at something else just
00:49:58.79\00:50:00.02
for the fun of it, so
you will see the point
00:50:00.05\00:50:02.59
that I making here.
Time goes slipping away
00:50:02.62\00:50:09.68
when you're
having fun don't you?
00:50:09.71\00:50:10.94
Okay let's take a crisp
succulent Michigan apple.
00:50:11.89\00:50:22.77
You like it, I didn't
know this must be somewhere
00:50:23.55\00:50:27.23
around 80 or 100
calories okay 80 calories.
00:50:27.26\00:50:30.67
How many of those
could you eat for dessert?
00:50:30.70\00:50:32.14
One, somebody says
two, pans how big it is,
00:50:34.55\00:50:37.62
you'd be full,
right? But let's make apple
00:50:39.35\00:50:43.64
juice out of it
right. Now we squeeze all
00:50:43.67\00:50:53.02
the juice out and
we can drink down two,
00:50:53.05\00:50:57.56
or three or four
apples just leaving the fiber.
00:50:57.59\00:51:02.96
Well, I know there
is nothing the matter
00:51:03.72\00:51:04.69
with apple juice
don't misunderstand me,
00:51:04.70\00:51:06.27
but you notice what
I'm talking about here.
00:51:06.30\00:51:07.78
When we start to
get away from the food
00:51:08.55\00:51:10.18
like it comes, it's
easy to pour on the calories.
00:51:10.21\00:51:14.40
Well, let's make
apple sauce now what
00:51:16.20\00:51:17.81
do we add to it,
yeah we add a little sugar
00:51:17.84\00:51:21.84
and to get the
same fullness you see we
00:51:22.73\00:51:25.96
probably gonna get a
150 calories over here
00:51:25.99\00:51:28.59
that we would had
got from one apple and
00:51:28.62\00:51:33.26
all we've done is
added sugar to it.
00:51:33.29\00:51:34.76
No nutrition,
just calories, okay.
00:51:35.28\00:51:39.23
Let's have apple pie
and now to get the same
00:51:43.03\00:51:52.64
fullness that I would
have had from my one apple,
00:51:52.67\00:51:57.06
I will have one
piece of apple pie which
00:51:57.81\00:51:59.51
is probably good
for about 350 calories.
00:51:59.54\00:52:02.27
And I won't be any
fuller when I get done
00:52:03.75\00:52:05.39
than I was up
here with my apple.
00:52:06.56\00:52:08.68
But somebody wants to go broke,
00:52:09.12\00:52:10.99
he wants to go for
the apple pie a la mode.
00:52:11.86\00:52:15.84
Now you see
we're good for 500 plus
00:52:19.13\00:52:22.70
to 600 calories and
I'll be no fuller than
00:52:22.73\00:52:26.15
if I had my apple
does that mean you
00:52:26.18\00:52:28.62
can have apple pie a
la mode for your birthday?
00:52:28.65\00:52:30.79
No, but it's what you
have everyday for lunch
00:52:31.01\00:52:34.36
that makes a
difference how your tummy looks
00:52:34.39\00:52:36.56
when you go out to
lunch. Are you getting
00:52:37.67\00:52:39.52
the point that I'm making here.
00:52:39.55\00:52:40.73
So, if we go back to
the food we start eating
00:52:41.60\00:52:44.20
food if we buy our
groceries in Joe's Produce
00:52:44.23\00:52:50.02
instead of getting
that stuff in those little
00:52:51.22\00:52:53.70
boxes and we cook
that stuff up and eat it,
00:52:53.73\00:52:57.13
we can be full,
comfortable and trim.
00:52:57.46\00:53:03.25
So, if we add a few
dietary changes just start
00:53:05.97\00:53:08.84
to think when
you're planning dinner or
00:53:08.87\00:53:11.28
something like that.
What am I going to have
00:53:11.31\00:53:13.53
tonight I think I
will make food and he says
00:53:13.56\00:53:16.17
that sounds kind of
boring, that's sounds
00:53:16.84\00:53:18.89
like an old farmer
meal or something like that.
00:53:18.92\00:53:21.08
You know what, eat
it and you know what
00:53:22.46\00:53:26.76
you'll like it,
and you keep eating it
00:53:28.16\00:53:31.49
and it'll keep
tasting better and
00:53:31.52\00:53:34.27
better and better.
I'll be honest I used to
00:53:35.02\00:53:38.91
like donuts and sugar
rolls you know those things.
00:53:38.94\00:53:43.85
Now, I should tell
you that I work around
00:53:44.55\00:53:46.08
hospitals and the
detail men, the drug salesmen
00:53:46.11\00:53:49.61
and the surgical
salesmen you know what
00:53:49.64\00:53:52.34
they're always doing?
They're always dumping
00:53:52.37\00:53:54.77
the table full of
sugar donuts, jelly rolls,
00:53:54.80\00:54:00.54
all of that stuff. I
must tell you the truth
00:54:01.03\00:54:03.73
that it doesn't even
tempt me anymore basically
00:54:03.76\00:54:07.44
because I quit
eating it. I don't feel
00:54:07.47\00:54:12.41
persecuted all, I feel
sorry for people that seem
00:54:12.44\00:54:14.38
to like icky,
sweet, greasy stuff.
00:54:14.41\00:54:17.98
Because I've trained my head,
00:54:19.71\00:54:21.11
now if I'm starving,
I'd go and get one now.
00:54:22.21\00:54:23.56
