The Glucose Expert: The Only Proven Way To Lose Weight Fast! Calorie Counting Is A Load of BS!

Let's be clear and honest about this. Calories are not the issue. This is all about... That's the problem. That's how you lose weight. Dr. Robert Lustig is an endocrinologist whose firsthand research has explored- ... the role sugar has on fueling the world's most destructive human conditions.

And answers how we can regain control of our health.

If you consume one sugared beverage per day, your risk for diabetes goes up by 29%, so this is a big problem. We also know that if you have high sugar consumption, it's got multiple detrimental effects, such as mental health problems, cognitive decline, early death. We also know that it's the primary driver of ADD, but the problem is, sugar's addictive. And 73% of all of the items in the grocery store are spiked with added sugar by the food industry 'cause they know when they add it, you buy more. You can't believe what they're telling you. If they say something is healthy, it's usually the opposite, and I'm part of numerous lawsuits suing the food industry because they knew that sugar was a problem, but they paid off scientists to say it wasn't. You've been hacked.

But a lot of people don't have time to be doing a fine-tooth comb over every single thing that they're putting into their body.

Correct.

They're not a scientist.

Agreed.

So, what advice do we give that is simple and actionable?

Food can be medicine. Food can also be poison, and the question is, how do you figure out which is which? So here's the secret.

Congratulations, Diary of a CEO gang. We've made some progress. 63% of you that listen to this podcast regularly don't subscribe, which is down from 69%.

It helps this channel more than you know, and the bigger the channel gets, as you've seen, the bigger the guests get. Thank you, and enjoy this episode. Dr. Robert Lustig, on the front of your book, it says, "The Hacking of the Mind." Very strong words to use.

Indeed.

Whose mind has been hacked, and who is doing the hacking?

Yours, mine, everyone's. Who's been doing it? Well, (laughs) pretty much anyone with a, a belief system that's not yours, and that's pretty much everybody. The bottom line is, uh, we have been sold a bill of goods. We as a society, we as individuals, have been sold a bill of goods, and the idea of the book, the reason I put the book together, is because it actually makes us miserable. It has stolen our birthright, and our birthright is to be happy, and we are not. If anything, we're the opposite of happy. We're extraordinarily unhappy. Just look at the incidents of depression around the world, not just in America, not just in the UK, but everywhere. The World Health Organization now says that 5% of all of the people on the planet are clinically depressed, and here in America, it's at 22%, so we're really unhappy. (laughs) So the question is, why is this if, you know, our goal is to be happy? It's in the Declaration of Independence, "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Well, we're not. So, why? And the reason is because we have substituted pleasure for happiness. What's the difference between pleasure and happiness? Well, pleasure's short-lived, happiness is long-lived. Pleasure is visceral, you feel it in your body. Happiness is ethereal, you feel it above the neck. Pleasure is taking, like from a casino. Happiness is giving, like Habitats for Humanity. Pleasure is experienced alone. Happiness is usually experienced in social groups. Pleasure can be achieved with substances. Happiness cannot be achieved with substances. (laughs) The extremes of pleasure, whether they be substances or behaviors, so substances like cocaine, amphetamine, nicotine, alcohol, sugar, or behaviors, uh, shopping, gambling, social media, internet gaming, pornography, in the extreme, all lead to addiction. There's an -aholic after every one of those, shopaholic, sexaholic, chocoholic, alcoholic, et cetera. But there's no such thing as being addicted to too much happiness. And lastly, number seven, the one that is the reason for the book, pleasure's dopamine, happiness is serotonin, and they are not the same. So, two different neurotransmitters, two different sets of receptors, two different areas of the brain, two different mechanisms of action, two different clearance mechanisms. Dopamine is an excitatory neurotransmitter.
