The Joe Rogan experience
You still overeat when you go out to eat much and they've talked about it and I
fucking resonated that so much
Like if I get high before I go out to eat like and I'm getting a good cheeseburger
Like I might as well order two because I'm gonna eat that one and I'm gonna be
hungry still
I'm not even gonna fucking touch my like doesn't even faze me
Gluttony. God damn it. It's such a pain when you're always dieting and cutting
weight
Do you think that makes you like more prone to doing that?
Dude look at the reason patty the baddie says gets as big as he is cuz it's
like you get this this mental disorder
I
Strict as fuck for about ten weeks before that fight like I'd have a little
cheat meal on a Saturday
But the closer they got to the fight four or five weeks out. I was just eating
so clean to where right after
It's like I'll order two cheeseburgers
Fucking some appetizers and just eat until I'm so uncomfortable and so much
pain. Oh my god. Look at patty
I'm gonna send you a video Jamie this dude
He posted today. Yeah, patty's and I think I'm not who am I to fucking say but
I just I mean
I know that's just not good for you the how much he gets up to 200 pounds
That's like me getting up to like
190 or 185. Yeah, that's a lot dude. It's sad. It's like that's not but it isn't
it gives you this mental disorder from eating
But fuck do we see if you take a couple puffs before dinner?
It's it depends on how high you get there's levels of high if you just get a
nice little high
You can the food just tastes better
You can really enjoy it or you get too high and you go in there and you just
feel like a bottomless pit
And you're eating the fucking bread and the appetizers then you're eating your
fucking other appetizers and appetizers then you're getting
Fucking two cheeseburgers. Yeah bad sometimes Michael Easter was actually just
talking about that
He's a guy who wrote this book the comfort crisis
And he wrote this book about a study that they did where they took these guys
and they purposely starved them play it
So he could he could say it
Michael underscore Easter over scientists had to call it off so in that study I
talked about it a few weeks ago
They took 36 men they put them in a lab for six months and they starved them
like really starved them because they wanted to know
What happens to the human body when we significantly decrease our calories and
lose a lot of weight?
What happens to our bodies what happens to our minds what happens to all these
different processes?
So it's a really enlightening study told us a lot about weight loss
But where it started to get interesting is that now they have to refeed these
guys and bring them back up to a normal weight
And the impacts of the weight loss were very lasting on these guys his behavior
So for one they binge ate one guy ate 11,000 calories a day
He had to go to the hospital for eating so much in a meal and all of them were
eating
Significantly higher calories than when they started
Second is that they obsessed about food
It was on their mind all the time just as it had been when they were starving
and there's a handful of other really fascinating
Things that happened that basically ended up bringing these guys above the
weight that they started at so after this crazy diet
They actually ended up heavier
This can tell us a lot about diets today how we should approach them how we
should think about
Eating normally once we've lost weight. There's a link in the bio if you want
to learn more check it out
What I love Michael but hey man that fucking the voiceover the the captions
that's like missing all these words
I know that was weird. That's the worst like
Transcription ever it's doing it for free like if you get to pay someone do
that well pay for it because what is this?
You're cutting off all these words like what's the purpose of having it so you
can read it if you can't read it?
Like it's like if you're not listening to him and you're reading that you're
like what is he saying?
It's like he's missing like keywords. It's also better than not having it
incorrect
What's just him making it sitting on his chair?
Intacts of weight loss were v- what does that mean?
And guys behavior so for one they binge ate one let's say and then it gets to
this other one see here and he had to go to the
Hospital for eating eating what yeah, and all of them were eating significantly
what than when they started?
What what do you can't hear and you can't read that?
It's better than not having you're out of your mind. No you're out of your mind.
No, it's it's even
It's better to not have it than to have it where you can't fucking read it
Because there's a bunch of words missing. Have you ever watched captions
normally?
They are about not that good. That's that's or not that bad right? That's
pretty bad. Whatever
Program he's using that that program sucks. Maybe he didn't know
Yeah, it's probably just like a build really but interesting study to that bad
Yeah, very interesting. That's uh, dude, that's the it's so true
Every fighter will sit here and say the same thing after fight if you'd cut a
lot of weight and you make weight
And then I mean even for me, I still eat really clean leading up to the fight,
but dude
I see fighters at the fucking
Breakfast buffet eating pank like eating shitty fight day because they made
weight or after the after weigh-ins that night
They're eating shitty. They just want to eat. I keep it clean all until after
the fight
Then after the fight I let loose a little bit, but this has been the best i've
done
Usually because for me bread cheese causes inflammation like I I work with a
nutritionist dan garner
We do he's working on a really really cool protocol right now a concussion
protocol for me. He's done
10 plus labs for me i've been working with him for like five years. He has a
ton of data on me, but we do
A bunch of like right now. We'll be in uh
He's making a protocol for me outside of camp to eat and so he has all my all
my data
But i've been doing a really good job not overeating
This each time it gets a little bit better and it's just it's a knowledge thing
and a discipline thing
Uh does he meal prep for you so he makes you he he lives in canada. He writes
it out. I have a meal prep company
In uh, arizona all organics that makes my food. Oh, that's great the entire
fight camp
So they give you the exact portions that they need portion. Oh, that's great
Change the game. Oh, yeah. No have to think about it, right? I I don't really
cook danny cooked. She would
You know full-time mom and she does hair for a living. So she'd work a couple
days a week
Um, but so the via the the recharge center in arizona. They fucking it changed
the game. That's amazing
Yeah, but this this one. I mean I got out of this camp or out of that fight and
I was like
I'm ready to go. I want to fucking get back to the gym
I know how hard of a fight henry is how hard of a fight al joe is how hard of a
fight anybody in the top five is
I need to get back to the gym
So, you know, i've been really
A lot more disciplined these because I think it's been a month now since the
fight but not eating as much cheese and or eating as much bread
If I go out go out to eat just because I know that fucking causes inflammation
in my body
And I know it's gonna make take a little bit longer to get back to training or
if I am training and I eat
You know too much cheese and bread it's going to cause that inflammation risk
an injury
Or just be fucking more sore than I need to be but yeah eating disorder from
cutting weight
Is a real fucking problem. It's a real thing, right?
I if I fought at my natural weight class, I'd fight at 155 if I didn't cut
weight walk around 58 59 whatever
I'd fight at 155. There's no fucking chance that i'm gonna say you know what i'm
just gonna do that
I'm gonna go fight
Justin gaethje i'm gonna fight charles or like there's no way I could go fight
at 145
I believe and be successful. I'm not a tiny 35 or those guys would still even
be a little bit bigger
But cutting to 45 I wouldn't cut to 35 is fucking hard. You feel like you're
dying. Your heart is pounding
You're laying in bed. We kind of are dying. You a hundred percent are dying
Like I talked to my body. I have to tell it like hey
You know what we're going what we're doing fight week like we're gonna start
you know cutting cutting weight
I thought I try to tell myself like we know we're not gonna actually die we're
gonna feel like that or whatever, but
I could cut to 45 would be a lot easier
Obviously 55 would be the easiest, but I wish more guys would
But then again like aljo he weighs how much right now? I don't know 160 days on
seven davison davison figueredo
I wonder if he goes to 35. Oh, he's fine. He's fighting 25 again. He's gonna do
it again
He he said he was mad at me for saying that I didn't think he's gonna be at 25
again
But he's sure he's talked about that. He's stacked is he i've never really been
around him guy
He's thick, but when you're a certain height
I feel like you like you have to but then again look at henry. He's fucking 5'3
and he's fucking doing it. Yeah
So I guess it depends on how thick you are, but how tall is figueredo jamie?
5'5. See it's not he could fight at 35, but
